THE Old WAY
AND THE NEW
How Montana Is Settled As
Compared to Iowa and
.--.~ Minnesota.

This country is new, very new in
fact, but not to be compared to
Iowa and Minnesota i'm their pio-
neer days. Then they came in
. prairie schooners and OK teams
there it's p;tIace cars and ANTONIO
biles.
This part of Montana will de
velop very rapidly in the next three
years, mnch more SO than it did i'm
the past five, and the people that
are trying to build up the state
should begin right. We need more
and better roads, these will come
in time, but bridges we need and
must have. Why, then, build tin
bridges at eNorbiant prices, that
will have to be replaced in few
years with new ones, that will be
sufficiently strong to allow traction
engines to pass over, instead of
making them ford the streams as
at present.
Everything can be found here,
ready-at hand, for all purposes and
for every nature of advancement.
In place Of garden patches Of grain
on the bottom lands, that we now
see, will all be under cultivation.
The bench lands, that were con
sidered non productive, will raise
30 bushels to the acre and this Will
be the average, not the exception.
This may seem small compared to
80 to 60 on the irrigated bottoms,
but 10 bushels is considered q good
yield in the Red River valley in
Dakota.
Then it behooves us to start
right, beware of tin bridges, and
let us profit by the experience of
Iowa and other eastern states, and
build our bridges of concrete and
stone, and they will not have to be
replaced in few years by new
ones.

ROAD CONVENTION
TO Be IN ANACONDA
Good Roads for Meagher County Is the One Big
Question the County Commissioners
Have to Decide.

( they have constructed or rather
tailed to construct they would nc
ldOubt class us as a Semi-ciVilized
people. Not only have the people
in the state of Montana ignored
this. valuable asset but the other
Estates in the union are equally
|guilty. If we as citizens of Montana
could but bring ourselves to realize
that good public highways are one
OF the most valuable, one of the
most essential and one of the most
susceptible to profitable invest
ments for our public money which
may be placed in any public inn
provements. The statement of the
Hon. James Bryce, that the one
CONSPICUOUS failure of the American
city, could we'll be changed to
read, that the one CONSPICUOUS fail
ure Of the American people is the
proper construction of public
highways.
One Of the failures that has come
to light since the good road move
ment has been instituted is the
county mismanagement and waste
Of the road Improvement funds, all
of which is due te ignorance upon
the subject, fraud, apathy and lack
of public. spirit in the men who
have control Of the matter of this
work.
Therefor, it is the hope of the
writer of this article that our dele
gates and county officers attend
this great good roads congress and
get new ideas ON the question.
Much can be gained by the ex-
change of ideas and by enthusiasm
which is bound to follow meeting
of this sort where the great men in
the state and nation will assemble
to discuss different phases of this
movement. Let these experts show
what can be done and how it can
be done. We of Meagher county
and our public officials need be
shown a great many things but if
we do know enough about good
roads we certainly need to be
imbued 50 that we will put our
knowledge in action.

Bill TO PASS

Washington, May 26.-Senator
Borah of Idaho, author of the
| three-yea homestead bill expressed
the opinion today that this meas
ure finally will be approved by
both houses of congress and will
be signed by the president before
adjournment. After canvassing the
situation in the senate, BOral says
that the bill will pass that body
without serious difficulty and he
beliyes it will be accepted by the
house in the form in which it was
agreed upon by the conference
committe.
The bill would have been re-
ported to the senate yesterday y
said Borah, but for the fact that one
of the conferees is ILL. 1t will be
presented Monday and will be
agreed to by the senate. | am
advised that it will be reported to
the house as soon as it it is agreed
to by the senate and I think it
will pass that body.
The bill readjusted by the con
ference, is practically the same bill
which first passed the senate with
the exception OF it's cultivation
clause, which the conferees felt
compelled to accept. | would rather
the bill had been reported back as
it originally went through the
senate, had it not been for the fact
that the latitude, which is allowed
the secretary of the interior under
the present law with reference 10
cultivation, would permit him TO
require cultivation of the whole
16O acres OF each entry which he
has said he thought should be the
rule. That being his opinion it
seemed safer to put something ia
the law to prevent this rigid inter
probation.

WHEATLAND
COUNTY
Some of the Leading Taxpayers
interviewed on the
Same.

4 The opposition to It's creation
have frequently said that the big
taxpayers of this part of the county
were against it's creation.
The editor Of this paper deter
mined TO find out if this was true,
or like many of the assertions
made by the opposition, without
any foundation. The first man, A.
e. Graves, one of the largest tax.
payers in the county, said he had
made some study of this subject,
and had made up his mind that
there would be no material change
in the rate of taxation or increase
of assessment. The first year might
ncccssitatc a raise of two mills in
rate but that it would then be the
same or less than before. This
wonld be Offset by the great inn
prOvcments we would have in
roads, as we would have three
times the amount to spend in the
new county on our highways.
Mr.. BENZ. Urner, the next man
interviewed, was of the same
opinion as Mr.. Graves, but more
positive that the people living in
the proposed county, would not
pay more taxes, but less after the
expense of creating the new county
had been paid. This expense would
not raise the rate more than two
mills for the first year on two.
Mr. Jos. Labrie, another big tax
payer. claimed that with business
men for county commissioners, the
idIc VI tdAiLiOn WOtiiu fclHain inc
same while we would have twenty
to twenty-five thousand dollars to
spend on our roads. This would be
more than five times the amount
we spent on the roads in this part
of the county last year.
The editor intends to interview
the big taxpayers in this part of
the county from time to time and
their expressions will be printed in
this paper wether they are for or
against the proposition.
