j. W. Sturgeon received word this
week that he had won out in the con-
test which was instituted by the gov
eminent against his homestead near
Harlowtown, Mont. It proved to be a
piece of spite work and when the smoke
had cleared away the man who put the
government inspector up to the job
looked real small. Mr.. Sturgeon took
his homestead in 1910 and after making
a good IA months residence offered
proof. The trial was held last April
and the land Office has just handed
down the decision. Mr.. Sturgeon con-
siders his farm worth 81, 600.
These are days when the people of
different places are telling how many
loads day of wheat are being market
ed. Dickinson is doing something in
this line and her five elevators and
two Touring mills are taking care of
the grain in good shape. It is not an
unusual thing to see long string OF
wheat teams lined up at the different
elevators before it is hardly light in the
morning, and all comers are taken care
of during the day. The railroad COM
pany is very good about supplying cars.
Some days the past week there have
probably been 500 loads of grain in
dickinson and almost any day the
number will run around 400 loads.
