valleys are being farmed with sue
cess, the soil being fertile and the
annual rainfall 10 inches.
Great development has taken
place in the country near Harlow

STILL A BOOSTING
FOR Old MONTANA
Rocky Mountain. Husbandman Tells
Of Early Prophesies Now Be.
ing More Than Realized

The fact is fast fastening itsel
upon the minds Of all who becom
acquainted with Montana, that
| is one of the greatest and, perhap
| the greatest Of all the farming
states on the continent. We natu
rally claimed great things for Mon
tana because the Rocky Mountain
Husbandman was the FIRST to com
mence to proclaim it as adapted K
agriculture many, long years age
that it seems to ua. like u dream
and we almost wonder what the
years have done with themselves.
1t does seem like it has been many,
many months since we. made up
our. mind that Montana was a
great country to make home in.
Work oxen that drew a load all
the way across the prairie from
Nebraska City to Montana, when
turned loose upon the Missouri
valley came out in the spring in
thrifty working condition. This
was the first suggestion to our
mind that Montana was an agri-
cultural region Of more than ordi-
nary Importance. The cattle re-.
ferred to were in better fix when
drove into the corral to take up
the seasons work of 1866 here in
Montana than they were the pre-
vious spring when gathered from
the farms in the Mississippi valley. |
Of course the great amount of wild
berries we found upon the shrubs
that lined the streams told the
story Of the producing capacity of !
the country, but it did not en-
tighten us upon the subject of /
Montana's winters. However, the
of the cattle proclaimed
Montana great provender pro-
1ucing region. Later we made q
rip to Texas in order to compare
Montana with that land of per-
'etual sunshine. Having weighed
,hings in our mind carefully we
lecided that there was no country
'etter than Montana and conclud
d that in selecting Montana sfor@aI
lome we had chosen wisely sand
veil. We cut our first irrigatinp
itch in 1865, but we raised our
rst crop in 1867. and the success
+ that crop has rarely. been 'aex.

Montana has been As years in
eveloping, but it is certainly as !,
erting her prestige in these later i
ears. 1t has been 18 years since ;

Egan Praises Danes
! at Inauguration Of
. New National Park

COPENHAGEN. Aug 5,--The inaugura-
ton Of the Danish-American National
park In the Rebild hills Of Jutland took
place today. The park was presented to
the government Of Denmark by the
Danish citizens of the, United States. DR..
Maurice Francis Egsn, American minis
ter to Denmarck, was the speaker. He
said:
We Americans owe to the Danes. who
have elected to become Americans, the
constant examples Of religion without
bigotry, Of culture without weakness, of
a simplicity without coarseness, and Of
frugality without meanness.
The Danes came to the United States,
not because, of tyranny In their own
handsome of the most liberty loving
OF all nations-but because they saw
a wider opportunity for the exercise OF
those abilities which they had cultivated
in their own land; at least this Is the
impression of all sympathetic Americans
who know them. II was natural enough
that born In little country where the
love of all that Is true and beautiful
Is intense, they should go forth regret
fully yet hopefully. always carrying the
picture Of their home etched deeply in
their hearts.
In every Danish community In the
United States the evil most hated is
igorance, and II is proverb In all
parts of our country that a Dane will
sacrifice everything for the education of
his children. What he has gained from
America one OF the most beloved Of
all the Danes In America, Count Moltke,
will tell you. For myself ! can say seri-
ously that the Danish. American in
dustrial worker, the careful farmer, the
skillful engineer. the admirable teacher
who Is likewise often preacher-has
given TO us more than we could pos
sibly give TO him. He has brought
nearer to us the example of his own
country. He has shown to us how a
man may be really loyal to the best ira.
dftions Of his kings, and yet merge this
TO republican institutions. In a word
he has helped TO teach us the value OF
religion without bigotry, cultivation with
out weakness, simplicity, without coarse.
ness, and frugality without mean.
ness. ! have purposely understated the
greatness of the debt that America owes
TO the Danes, but trust that the truth
loses nothing by being expressed in
words that cannot be accused of exag,
geration"e

DES MONIES, Aug 5.--tSpecial Tele-
granl)-After a long controversy the
state veterinary department Of Iowa has
at last secured the release in Canada Of
all OF shipment Of horses from Mitcnell
county to Saskatchewan. The horses had
been in quarantine since last March, On
the claim that some Of them showed
signs Of disease. The shipment Of horses
was detained at the Canadian border and
nineteen Of them were condemned and
killed as diseased, The owner appealed
to Iowa for help and the state veterina-
rian went to Canada and made personal
investigation. He declared that none of
the animals was diseased and II was az,
outrage that any of them should have
been killed. An effort will be made to
recover for the loss
