A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchanges
Chinook Opinion: An important
real estate transaction Saturday re-
suited in the transfer of the we'll
known Reser ranch west of town
from Glare Reser to ]. E. Wade, the
Bear Paw rancher for a consideration
of $45 an acre. The farm in Ques-
ton is 160 acre tract under the Bel
knap ditch just outside of town and
is valuable tract of land.
Harlem News: A colony of ten
people ,all of them from Reynolds, N.
D., who have each taken up half
section of land about nine miles north
of this city, are due to arrive short
ly to establish their residence. The
party consists of six men and their
families and four young ladies and
they plan to establish a sort of
communal colony where they will all
work together and help each other
on the claims.
Conrad Independent: The possi-
bility Of county division and the crea-
tion of Pondera county, now looks
more feasible than at any time in the
course of proceedings. The commit
tees from Conrad and Waller held q
conference Tuesday afternoon, and q
definite plan was decided upon as to
lines, and it now seems probable that
an understanding can be arrived at,
and the much needed division accom-
plished.
Glasgow: T. B. Nacey returned
Wednesday morning, after long and
tiresome trip to the reformatory with
two boys, Fred and Glen Brooks, who
were brought up from Wolf Point
and sentenced, charged with being
incorrigible and with petty thefts. On
arriving at the institution a board
meeting was called, the boys were
pronounced feeble minded by the doc
tors and they were refused at the
school.
Conrad Observer: Mrs. P. ]. Ma.
son, who lives about twelve miles
northeast of town, was caller at
this Office on Monday and said they
had just taken two large wagon loads
of corn from nine rows about $50 feet
long, and besides she had saved con.
siderable for seed. Mrs. Mason has
a variety of corn fairly we'll adapted
to this climate, which she is improv.
ing on from year to year and hopes
soon to get the desired results.
Geraldine Review: When the Mil.
waukee railway officials a year age
announced that the new line connect
ing Great Falls and Lewistown, 136
miles long would be completed by
January 1, 1914, it was taken with
more or less grains of allowance, as
it is we'll known that such predic
tiOns often fall short of realization
But that they were we'll within the
lines of reason may now be accepted
practically as an accomplished fact
and the claim is even made that the
track will be completed to the Falls
before Dec. Is.
Havre Plaindealer: Mr.. Dufield
who will have charge of the gas wei
drilling is busy unloading the machin
cry to be used, and will start opera
tions as soon as the 82-foot derrick
is erected, and the machinery as
sembled The we'll will be drilled or
the Hill county fair grounds. Mr.
Dufield, who has made careful study
of the formation and general trend o.
the gas belt, is very sanguine of strik
ing the covtetd gas, but admits tha
the quantity to be encountered can
not be forecasted.
