FLOUR MILLS
COM PIL-ETED.
II
The Montana Flour Mills Co.
Finishes Best Plant in State
At Harlowton.

The Montana Flour Mills Com
pany succeeded in taking first
prize at the Montana State Fair
for the best flour manufactured in
the state. Many Of our citizens
do not realize what this means to
Meagher County and this part OF
the state. TO manufacture the
best flour requires the best wheat.
So, when they took that prize ON
flour, it means the best wheat is
grown in this part of the state.
The wheat In the Gallatin Val
ley this year is running very low
In gluten, only about 80 per cent.
In Meagher county it runs from
40 to 80 per cent. The millers in
the Gallatin Valley, realizing this,
sent one if their wheat buyers here
to purchase this wheat to mix
with their low grade.
The Montana Mills at this place
have about completed six large
concrete tanks capable Of contain
ing two hundred thousand bush.
els. These tanks will be com
pleted about December list.
The Mil at present is running
night and day and employs three
shifts Of men. The Milling Com.
pany have flour orders on hand to
keep yhe mill running at this rate
for over three a b months, ( -
They are paying three cents
over the regular price for wheat.

REGARDING
HOME:STEADS
Some Recent Discisions Handed
Down From u. S. Land
Commissioner.

Tt is not residence within the
meaning of the homestead law for
one TO return occasionally to his
land while habitually absent en-
gagged in a vocation necessarily re-
quiling his absence.
An entry made upon land, sub
sequently withdrawn but later
restored, has the same effect upon
the entry as abandonment, and the
entryman must therefore be gov
erned BY the general homestead
laws. -+5'.'
The mere fact that final proof is
regular does not bar the land de
partment from proceeding against
an entry for failure to comply with
the law. The final proof is merely
claimants assertion which is not
conclusive upon the Government.
The land department has ample
authority to investigate into the
truth of final proof upon an entry
any time befre patent issnes.
The reclamation act of June II,
1902, only permits homestead en-
tries to be made on the express
understanding that they will be
reduced to the area determined by
the Secretary to be sufficient for
the support Of a family.
Public irrigable lands in recla-
nation projects are, under the let
ter and spirit of the reclamation
laws to be divided among as many
families as the lands will properly
and reasonably support. The as,
signment act of June %, 1910, does
not modify this RECRUITMENT, but,
on the contrary; expressly imposes
it upon assignments.
The reclamation required in de-
sert land entries contemplates
proof Of a water supply sufficient
and permanent as we'll as an irri
cation system adequate and sub
stantial under usual conditions for
the raising of agricultural crops.
Before patent can be legally is
sued under a desert land entry it
must be shown that the claimant
is possessed of sufficient water
right to reclaim the land.
In accepting the purchase money
in connection with a desert land
entry, the Government does not,
directly, or Indirectly, guarantee
that the land is susceptible of re-
cIamation from its arid state, but
it is for the desert land applicant
to decide for himself, after an ex,
animation of the land, whether he
believes water can be conducted to
and distributed over the same. as
to reclaim it from desert condit
ion.
a preference right of entry on
land withdrawn for irrigation pur-
poses remains suspended, under
operation Of law, until such time
as water may be applied and de-
signation Of farm units made.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN BERLIN

Berlin, Dec. 24.-Many Americans
here will follow the German custom
of celebrating Christmas Eve, which
is the principal festival of Christmas
in Germany. All of the hospitals, pub
lie institutions, asylums, prisons. soup
kitchens. casual wards and barracks
have been provided with Christmas
trees which will be brilliantly lighted
and hung with apples, gingerbread,
etc. The kaiser and members of his
family will assemble at the new pal
ace at Potsdam for Christmas, as
usual. Much speculation is heard over
the plans of the crown prince, who is
not on friendly terms with his father.

TEXAS SANTA CLAUS
HEADQUARTERS.
Texas Nuts Fill Nations Christ.
mas Stockings.

Santa Claus spends a great deal OF
his time in Texas getting ready for
Christmas. The Texas products are
70 popular with the children Of the
nation that each year he has largely
increased his purchase of nuts,
fruits, etc., until he now stands ready
% buy the available output. He is SO
lager for our products that one would
think he has been having heart-to-
heart talk with Uncle Sam, or had
,een reading the literature of the
Texas Commercial Secretaries and
Business Mems Association.
The Texas pecan is special favor
tie with Santa Claus, and he is rush
ing car load shipments to his dis
tributing depots where they will be
convenient for filling Christmas
stockings and decorating Christmas
;rees. Our peanuts, popcorn and 9TH
.r products are anxiously sought by
Santa Claus and he finds them ex-
.remely popular with the children.
We not only load down his sled
with things the children most love
and which make the reindeer pull
with pride, but we supply the decora-
lions for the Christmas festivities.
We ship out Christmas trees by the
car load and send with them holly,
mistletoe and flowers in profusion.
Without Texas Santa Claus could
hardly pull off respectable Christ
mas celebration and he would GER
tainly lose out with the children if he
should attempt it.
Then there is the Christmas dinner
that must be provided from the poul-
try yards, the winter gardens and the
farms Of Texas. We furnish several
million fowls, train loads Of veget-
ables and choice meats for the Christ
mas dinner and there is no more i'm
portant function in the holiday fes-
tivities than Christmas dinner pre-
pared exclusively from Texas prod
ucts.
A visit through our jobbing houses
will convince one that Santa Claus is
moving his headquarters to Texas.
He is shrewd enough to grasp the
advantages of our location as a world
distributing center and he knows it
is only short time until he will be
able to reach the hearthstone of the
people more quickly from Texas
than any other point on the globe.
Theh he likes 10 live in a country
where the atmosphere is laden with
human happiness; it fills his heart
with the holiday spirit and helps him
to give us all merry Christmas and
q happy New Year.

CHRISTMAS At THE
WHITE HOUSE

Washington, Dec 24.--Although
President and Mrs. Taft will be in
Panama for Christmas, they made am
pie provision for the enjoyment of
White House employees and tomorrow
there will be gifts of turkeys and
presents of various kinds to everyone
connected with the nations executive
mansion. For the past few days pres
ents have been pouring into the
White House for the president and
members of his family, so that they
will find much to delight them upon
their return from the canal zone next
week. SO many are the deliveries for
the White House that special express
messengers and mail carriers had to
be assigned to the task.

CHRISTMAS FOR THE POOR.

New York, Dec. 24.-In all sections
of the city tens of thousands of fam
lilies will be enabled to enjoy a good
Christmas dinner tomorrow through
the charity of the Salvation Army, the
Volunteers of America and other or
ganizations whose especial duty 1t is
to look after the poor. The demands
for dinners this year are so heavy
that all of the societies say records
will probably be broken in the dis
tribution of Christmas dinners. For
weeks applicants have besieged the
headquarters of the different societies
in order to have their names on the
list. The Christmas funds of the news
papers will also reach, it is predicted,
no less than 10000 poor children.

CHRISTMAS TREES PLENTIFUL.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-There does not
seem to be any lack of Christmas
trees this year, but the tradesmen re-
port the sales below those of previous
years. hTe trees are not bringing such
good prices, either. The public has
been very late with its buying this
season and the general feeling seems
to be that funds should be spent eau
tiously until the country is in more
settled condition. Although a large
of articles are being pur-
chased, they are of cheaper grade, as
a rule.
