The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1912-04-26

Ignite coal EXISTS through
out the greater part Of this coun-
ty, and especially in this section.
Ekalaka adjoins the Sioux Nat
ional Forest where fire-wood can
be procured at very little eX-
pense. Several sawmills operate
in different parts of these hills.
The people of this section boast
of their excellent water supply.
Good water, a quality that is not
equaled in the eastern part of
the state, can be obtained by
wells in depth from 8 to 40 feet
in the valleys and from Is to $50
feet on the benches. The streams
running through this territory
are Box Elder creek with num-
erous tributaries traversing
through an excellent valley vary
ing in width from Is to 20 miles,;
Beaver Creek, near the head of
which Ekalaka is located. This
is considered the finest stream Of
clear water in the eastern part
Of the state. Then there is o.
F'allon creek northwest of town
that passes through a section
that is principally adapted to
stock-raising, although many
choice homestead locations can
be secured along it's course.
The distinguished feature of
the climate in this section as
as compared with other parts of
the state is the wider range Of
temperature, both daily and an
nual. The precipitation is quite
uniformly distributed over this
section. The average annual a.
mount Of precipitation is some
what over IA inches, about eight
inches or more than half Of which
falls during the four months from
April to July inclusive. The
winters as a rule are not severe
and the summers are warmer
than in either the northern or
western portions of the state.
Only in the past few years has
farming been tried in this section
but from this short experience
we have learned that the farm
ers can raise as fine vegetables
and small grain here as in any
other section of the state, where
dry farming is being DONE. One
Of the principal crops is oats,
which during an average year
will yield from Is to so bushels
per acre without irrigation.
Good crops of potatoes are rails
ed. an average yield being from
125 to IT'S bushels per acre. Ex-
periments have shown that other

Ekalaka Country.

The following is taken from a
phamplet that will soon be ready
for distribution by the Cory In
vestment Co. Many inquiries re-
ceived by this company point to-
ward a large immigration here
this year.
The town Of Ekalaka, with a
population Of nearly 400 inhabi-
tants, is situated on Russell
Greek, forty-two miles southeast
Of Baker, our nearest railroad
and shipping point. 1t is situAt-
ed in the heart Of one of the
most promising agricultural Sec
tons of eastern Montana. A.
mong the principal business
houses may be mentioned; two
general merchandise stores, one
drug store, one notion store, one
hardware store, two hotels, one
lodging house, one bank, two liv-
cry and feed stables, two black
smith shops, a meat market, feed
store, saloons, a newspaper and
a dentist office. Three telephone
lines are maintained from Eka-
laka, one to Miles City, the pres
ent county seat Of Custer County;
one to Baker, our nearest railway
point and one to Camp Crook, S.
D., a distance Of SO miles where
the Ekalaka line connects with
direct lines to the Black Hills and
other Dakota points. Ekalaka is
we'll provided with secret societ-
les, church organizations and
social facilities. A new school
house has been erected at the
cost of over $40, 600 to accomo-
date the many school children Of
this section. There is an urgent
demand in Ekalaka for several
lines of business and those look
ing for a new location are reques-
ted to. communicate with The
Cory Investment Co; the pub
fishers Of this phamplet. The
means of transportation to and
from Ekalaka is over the daily
stage line from Baker or via the
many automobile lines that oper-
ate between these two towns
during the greater part Of the
year.
The soil in this section is a
black sandy loan, very fertile
and produces the most bountiful
crops. For this reason we pre-
dict that within a very few years
this section will rank among the
best as an agricultural section.

MEANS HARM TO THE COUNTRY
Sample Of Democratic Statesman
ship" 10 Shown in Legislative
Appropriation Bill.

It is no exaggeration to say that the
provisions relating to the state de-
partment that appear in the legisla-
tive appropriation bill which has
passed the house amount to a direct
attack on American prosperity.
The adoption OF those provisions
would abolish the bureau OF trade re-
lations. the office OF counselor to the
state department. the office OF director
OF the consular service. and all the d.
visions of foreign affairs created in
the reorganization OF the department
in 1909. The result would be to put
out Of the public service the efficient
officers now trying to solve such vexa-
tious problems as our relations with
Mexico. the Russian passport ques-
ton. the new treaty with Japan. the
adjustment OF the loan to China, the
protection Of American subjects in the
Chinese empire. and various other af-
fairs scarcely less important.
After years OF careful work our
consular service has become the most
efficient In the world. 1t is the ad-
vance agent and special promoter OF
our trade interests in foreign coun-
tries. but its mechanism would be dis
located and its usefulness seriously
impaired II the proposed legislation
were enacted
The pretext for the atrocious meas
ures with which the Democratic tin
kers thus threaten to wreck the most
powerful agency for promoting our
foreign commerce is that they are in
the interest of economy. Yet II they
were enacted into law they would ef-
feet a saving Of only a paltry $780,

proposed a more monumental example
