MONTANA TO
Be GR|D|RONED
More New Roads
are Projected
for State

Evidence is furnished daily which
foretells that in the near future
Montana will be gridironed with
railroads. The long and much needed
lines north and south are no longer
a dream but are rapidly becoming a
realization. The railroad companies
are keen to note possibilities of new
country and when they project lines
into uew territory it can be taken
for granted that they have throughly
studied the subject and have had re-
ports in minute detail from their ex.
perts.
Valley county is promised it's fair
share OF railways, judging by what
has been done and what is being an
nounced will he done. AS noted last
week the Great Northern will push a
line into Dawson county thence into
North Dakota. Now we learn from
the Culbertson Republican that it
has been learned "from reliable
sources that the Great Northern
Railway has closed contract for
the grading of fifteen miles OF rail-
road west out of Plentywood OH the
Bainville branch. The contract calls
for the completion Of work this fall
in time for the company to start
hauling freight before the first of the
year. The right of way for the ex-
tension has already been purchased
and the work will start at once.''
Then the Froid Tribune furnishes
the following information relative to
railroad building in the east end of
the county:
"The Minneapolis, st. Paul &

better known as the 500, which re-

ABOUT OUR CANDIDATES

No man i'm Montana is better
known than w. F. Meyer of Red
Lodge, one of the Republican candi-
dates for Congress-. having lived in
the state for 80 years. He has
opinions of his own but respects those
of others, but once convinced that he
is in the right he will pursue his
course to the end whether it leads to
victory or defeat.
During five terms of the Legisla-
ture his voice has been, heard
in behalf of the people and
voicing protests against wrongs.
He was one of the Montana Repub-
licans who, last spring, favored
Roosevelt's nomination, but when
the honor fell to Mr.. Taft Senator
Meyer refused to obey the dictates
of the Bull Moose bosses and bolt
the Republican party, which he be-
lieves stands for true progressive
ness, and is bigger than any one
man OF group of men.
His long legislative experience,
his knowlege of law and his vast
business experience richly qualify
him for Congress.

What Our Soil
Will Produce

TO sit down to table in Malta and
see upon the board such vegetables
as cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes,
cabbage. lettuce. cauliflower, sweet
corn, turnips, rutabagas, carrots,
squash, pumpkins and radishes is
the most convincing evidence Of what
this soil will produce. The vegeta-
bles are not only large but of su-
perior quality. Frequently when
potatoes, for instance, grow to a
large size elsewhere, it is the result
of rank growth, and the center is
hollow. Not so here, they are firm
and good from skin to the center.

VALLEY COUNTY
At THE FAIR
Makes Great Big
Showing at
Helena

Helena, Sept. 25tll-The agricul-
tural and horticultural exhibit at the
state fair from Valley county is much
in the limelight, and at all times of
the day, groups can be seen gathered
around this booth marveling at the
splendid samples of root crops,
grains and grasses that are on exli-
bitiOn
1t is the first time Valley has seen
fit to send an exhibit to the fair, and
the splendid specimens of vegetables,
grain and fruit, have proven a reve-
lation to all who have seen them.
Like several other Montana
counties. Valley, which is bounded
Oh the north by Canada, OH the east
by Dako ota, and on the south and west
by Dawson, Fergus and Blaine, has
long been considered one of the cow
counties; that is a section devoted
almost exclusively to running beef.
Such it was for many years, and it
might be added that the eastern and
local markets depend largely on
Valley for a big part of it's beef
supply, some of the finest cattle in
the state being herded III that section.
However, during the years 1906 and
'O7, the great Fort Peck Indian reser-
vation was surveyed and subsequent
ly thrown open to entry. Settlers
turned their eyes III the direction of
Valley with the result that for sew
eral years the hotels at Glasgow,
Culbertson, Poplar, Malta and other
towns along the line of the Great
Northern in that county, found it al
most impossible to accommodate the
great Thong of land hunters who had
come there i'll search of homes.
The old settlers of the county ex-
tended the hand of welcome; the
spirit of hospitatallty and communal
friendship prevailed, and the county
began developing agrcultulally
The big stock ranches gave way TO
small farms, and today from the
Missouri river north to the Canadian
line, the beautiful valleys running
north and south in Valley county are
dotted with farm houses, and beaut-
full fields Of grain and hay meadows
may he seen OH all sides. The ground
is rich and fertile, and bumper crops
have been produced i'll every section
OF the county. This year thousands
OF bushels Of grain will be shipped
out Of Valley county.
The county's first exhibit at
Montana State Fair is a most credit
able one, as we'll as a most representa-
tive one. Some Of the vegetables
were gathered from farms along the
valley north OF the Missouri river;
others from the rich and fertile
valley along the Big Muddy creek;
otliels from the farming section sur
rounding Scobey, and still others
from the Malta and Glasgow sections
OF the country. Some of the speci,
mems of cucumbers, potatoes, squash
pumpkins, and onions in the Valley
county exhibit are the most beautiful
to be seen on the grounds.

INAUGURATION MAE
Be HELD IN APRIL
ESlOENT-ELECT WILSON is
WILLING TO POSTPONE THE
CEREMONlALS.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Dec. 3.-Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson is willing to
take the oath of office as president
of the United States without osten-
tation March 4 and that the formal
ceremonials which every fourth year
attract thousands of citizens to
Washington be postponed until the
last Thursday in April To that ex'
tent he has indorsed the propagan-
da in favor of later inauguration
which has been, advocated in anC
out of congress, in order that the
event might be conducted at time
when the weather usually is propi-
tious at the national capital.
Many persons have urged the pres
dent- elect to sanction postpone
ment of the inaugural ceremonies
without an act of congress and that
it Is impossible now to change the
forthcoming ceremony so far as the
taking of the oath is concerned. Mr..
Wilson's statement today, however,
indicates his sympathy with the lat
er inauguration movement and i'm
plies that he will gladly assent to
a delay of the show features of the
event if an agreement to this end
can be reached.
Mr.. Wilson has received more
than 200 letters containing advice
regarding legislation. Pointing to a
mass of correspondence Mr.. Wilson
said:
THAT is the idea some American
people have of giving a man va
cation"
Mr.. Wilson today paid 81 excess
postage on newspaper clippings
speculating as to probable cabinet
appointments.
'If you see that Wilson has in
vited this or that man to come to

in the cabinet" commented the gov
ernor, you may be sure. that the
