evening for the function. The new
moon looked calmly down upon the
merry party, it's bright light reflected
from the pure white of the snow and
the liquid depth of bright eyes. In
the five sleigh loads that went from
Malta there were sixty-tive people to
enjoy the ride.
The sleigh BELLS merry jingle
formed fitting accompaniment to
the silvery laughter of the ladies,
while the deeper toned laugh of their
escorts indicated that all was joy as
the sleighs glided smoothly over the
four miles of prairie road between
Malta and the ranch.
Arriving at the scene of festivities
the folding doors were thrown open
between the dining room and parlor
making dancing space sufficient for
those who wished to engage in the

quadrille or the dizzy whirl of the
lively waltz. The upper rooms were
given over to the guests for card

consisted of sandwiches, pickles, sew

ges, were partaken of with relish.

Judge George M. Bourquin

Judge George NJ. Bourquin, the
new judge of the United States dis
trict court of Montana, has been a
prominent member of the bar of this
state for more than twenty years.
Born in Pennsylvania, he came to
this state in 1884. He worked as a
hoisting engineer in the mines of
Butte, studying law as opportunity
developed. Late in the sos he was
made receiver of the Helena land Of
flee, by President Harrison. On re-
firing from that Office he completed
his law studies, was admitted to the
bar and began to practice at Helena.
He began practicing in Butte in 1899.
In 1904 he was elected district Judge
and served two terms. Since then
he has been actively engaged in the
practive of his profession. For ma
ny years he has been prominent in
the political life of the state. He
delivered one of the chief addresses
at the last republican state conven-
tion.
Some years ago Judge Bourquin
wrote an article in defense of the ju-
dietary. which article attracted the
attention of President Taft. On the
occasion of the Presidents last visit
to Butte, the President met Judge
Bourquin for the first time and that
article came up for discussion.
Judge Bourquin is married and has
three sons.

Montana, The Great

DIR. Ward Iiatt. in all article in
The Christian Republic, writes as
follows OIL Montana the Great"
"This hardly tells it. 1t needs
more and stronger adjectives but
they in turn are cumbersome and do
not define. The bigness is bigger
than big, whether mountains OF
mines or plains, and the assortments
of climates. soils and products will
smash any word of English, so what s
the use-'Montana the Great. 1t
doesn't fit any more than boys hat
Oh the head of one of the Rockies.
"Somebody has figured the surface
of Montana into lots n by 10 feet
and finds there is one for every hu-
man being Oh the face of the planet.
"Montana has 146. .572 square miles.
New England has 66,624. Montana
would carve into III Rhode Islands,
yet Rhode Island has 100000 more
inhabitants.
"Of the 94, ,O0O, 900 acres in Monta-
ma, 100000 or a little more than
one acre in eight, is fit for agricul-
ture. Half of this may be irrigated
and the other worked very success
fully by dry farming. Only about
one acre in six of the u 100000 has
been broken up. There are 40 acres
of this agricultural soil to every per-
son in the state, babies included. 1t
isnot a question of how much a man
can raise OH an acre, but of how
much he can make on more acres.
Opinions are divided on the question
of whether, all things considered,
dry farming or irrigation is more
profitable.
"Dry farming is an exact science
adapted to Montana to a total annual
rainfall of not more than from II to
IS inches. This rainfall, though
slight, comes at the season of grow
ing crops. The season is short but
abudnant in sunshine. State exper-
mental stations carefully conserve
the farmers interests.
"The state selects a tract of poorer
soil and demonstrates the large pos
sibilities of acreage yield. While
wheat, oats, alfalfa, sugar beets, po.
tatoes and apples are among the lead
ing crops, about anything grown in u
temperate zone will give good re-
turns.
"Grazing on an extensive scale is
possible because of much land adapt
ed to that purpose only. The cattle
and sheep represent the finest breeds.
The Chinook winds cure the standing
grass before frost spoils it. Thus
stock feeds out during the winter on
standing hay that is capable of fat
tening tit for market The winter
temperature registers about with
that Of New York and Pennsylvania,
but lack of humidity makes it entire
ly different in feeling"
