FROM A GRAZING
TO FARMING STATE
GENERAL TREND IN MONTANA
SHOWN BY CHANGES I'M
SWEET GRASS COUNTY.

Big Timber, Mont, March 21.-
With the shipment this week of the
r. E. Arnold grain to Minneapolis,
Sweet Grass county's elevator business
for the 1911 season has been closed.
The total shipments Of wheat, oats,
barley and flax amounts to approx
mately 2,750,000 pounds through the
Big Timber elevator, while 350000
pounds were shipped Independently.
OF these shipments, wheat leads,
with 1,250,00O pounds. In addition,
there have been upward of 100
cars of baled hay sent to twin
city and Chicago markets, as we'll as
regular shipments of that commod-
ity to Helena and Butte. Compared
with last year, which up to that time
held the record, these shipments show
an increase of more than 100 per cent
At the same time it is estimated by
grain dealers that farmers have re-
tanned greater stock than usual for
feed and seed purposes
This is simpl. another demonstra-
ton of the transformation of Montana
from grazing to a farming state.
Sweet Grass, though small in area, is
one Of the more important sheep rails
ing counties of the state, yet each
succeeding year is gradually reducing
the number OF large, docks. On the
other hand, nearly an equal number
of sheep Is being cared for, the indi-
vidual farmer as a rule having a small
herd which can be grazed on his pri-
yate pastures. The so-called big
sheep men have virtually all Of the
forest ranges available.
Indications point to large influx
of settlers this spring. On one irriga-
tion project, north of this city, thirty
odd new houses have been contracted
for, while many persons have been
booked for inspection trips. The new
settlers as rule. are from Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka and wisconsin.
a. deal is now pending for the sale
of the Forsythe ranch, of about 11,000
acres, in this couty, to st. Paul in
vestor. 1t is expected that if taken
over it viii be colonized and utilized
under the so-called dry farming sys-
tern. Forsythe says he is being forced
out of the sheep business.

La Toilette Leading
Roosevelt by 1000
Roosevelt Carried Slope Country BY Small Majority but
La Toilette Was Strong in Northern and Eastern
Part Of the State

With about half the counties COM
plete and from one to third Of the
precincts in each of the others missing,
LaFollette leads Roosevelt about H.
600. It is extremely unlikely that the
complete returns will change the re-
suits more than 1000. Unless LaFol-
lette should get a larger percentage of
votes in the missing precincts than in
those already reported, his final lead
over Roosevelt will probably not ex-
ceed 10000.
1t looks like the republicans have
cast about $4,000 votes, of which La
Toilette received somewhat in excess
of $4,000, Roosevelt something over
$4,000 and Taft about $500.
The total democratic vote will prob
ably not be over $500 to 5000.
The slope counties, including Kidder,
Logan, Mcintosh, Emmons, Burleigh,
Mclean and Sheridan, and all those
west of the river, gave Roosevelt a
lead of approximately 1900 over LaFol-
@SNNSs SAN S4O bAG NOAS SANO4 tue w lb-
consin man in the northern and east
ern counties quickly overcame the
Roosevelt lead.
One Of the surprises of the campaign
was the light vote for LaFoIlette in the
southern part of the state. Ransom
and Richland went for Roosevelt. La
Toilette carried Sargent by only !
vote and Dtckey by less than 200.
Democratic Committeeman.
Many Of the county auditors have
not yet reported on the democratic ma
tional committeeman, but Bruegger,
Duis and Whitehead lead on the re-
turns received. The latter ran we'll on
the slope, but Bruegger seems to be
making the most positive gains. The
friends Of Duis express themselves as
extremely confident.
Returns on the candidates for ma
tonal democratic delegates are as in
complete as on national committee

New York City, March 21.--Judge
Rosalsky is still being congratulated
by his friends upon his narrow escape
in the bomb explosion of Saturday,
when Inspector owen Eagen was in
tured while opening box received at
Judge Rosalsky's home by special de-
livery mail. The above is the first pic
ture of Inspector Eagan and Wolf Ber-
man, who is held as suspect of hav-
Ing sent the bomb to Judge RosaIsky.
The judge has recently been much in
the limelight due to his decision some
years ago in the much talked of
Brandt case. ana it is thought that
in some way, through this publicity,
he was singled out as victim of this
bomb outrage.
The bomb is one of the most scien-
tific and deadly known in the annals
Of bomb construction. 1t is owing to
Judge Rosalsky's knowledge of bombs
that he was not blown to atoms and
the lives Of the members of his family
taken. When the box came to his

British Parliament May Not
Pass Relief Measure
CAUSES CONSERVATION
CRISIS CONTINUES IN GREAT
BRITAIN AND GROWS STRONGER
NOTWITHSTANDING MEN BEG
cING FOR RELIEF FROM NUM-
clPALITlEs.

London, Eng, March 21--The crisis,
which has arisen over the minimum
wage bill introduced by Asquith in the
house of commons to bring about the
end of the deadlock in British trade
caused by the national coal strike, con-
tinues. The idea appears to be that
there will be considerable delay. in
passing the measure, even if it is not
thrown out entirely and that the strike
will thus be prolonged.
The spread of this opinion has caus-
ed CONSERVATION in the Industrial dis
tricts of the United Kingdom, where
the suffering is already extreme.
The number OF men out If work
is increasing daily, and it is now esti-
mated that besides 100000 miners on
strike, nearly 100000 other persons
have been rendered idle. che people
of many centers daily beseige the Off
GERS of the mayors, where relief is
promptly distributed.
1t is thought unless something is
done quickly to bring about the end
of the crisis, hungry Marches such
as took place last night in the fish
ing town OF Grimsby, when 900 starv-
ing men marched to the town hall
and begged relief, will become a COM
mon sight all over the country.
Throughout the kingdom the people
are anxiously awaiting the action of
the house of commons tonight. There
is no doubt the minimum wage bill
will receive second reading, for a
coalition composed of the liberals, Irish
party and the labor party will unite
in voting for it. Us
Trouble will begin, however, when
the bill reached the committee stage
at which period members of the labor
party will propose amendments on
whose adoption they insist.
Arthur j. Balfour, former leader of
the opposition. who for the moment
has again resumed his former posi-
ton as chief OF the unionists axpect-
ed to ask the government to give more
than one day for the COMMITTEES stage
of the bin, which would delay the pas
sage of the measure until next week.
There is another danger. The union
lists, under the leadership of Balfour,
have condemned the principle OF the
minimum wage bill, and the house of
lords possibly will take the same stand
and refuse to consent to its passage.
The railroads continue to curtail
their service and on some northern
lines all freight trains have been can
celled.
