GOOD CELERY
IN MONTANA

billings, Mont. Feb. l.-What is
considered the best samples of Gel
e:y ever seen in this city, were
brought here today from Saltwater
valley in tine vicinity of Columbus,
though not of immense size, the
product is of exceptional crispness
and it's quality in tenderness and
flavor is pronounced superior to any
eyer placed on the market. The
celery grew on portion of l 900
acre tract, which has been exam
ined by an expert celery grower
from Michigan, and declared to be
particularly adapted for the produc-
ton of the plant, and with refer
ence othe samples he declares they
are superior to any he ever saw in
his own state. Only one acre was
grown last year and the crop was
sold at an average price Of IS cents
per dozen. A large area will be
celtlvated d this year if the grower
succeeds in arranging for market.
He estimates that the gross returns
are about 81, 500 per scre, and is
endeayoring to arrange for supplying
the dining cars Of the Northern
Pacific with the product.

OF the corn states, and not the least
bit inferior in size OF flavor.
There is no gainsaying that there
is a bright future before the Milk
River valley, and Malta is bound to
shary with the other communities ils
the harvest that is to be reaped fron
increased business aud development.
Malta is happily situated so as to en-
JOY a trade as far south as the
Missouri river-about fifty miles
and far north into Canada. Large
freight outfits may be seen daily
hauling lumber in either direction
out of Malta. This city has num-
Der of big mercantile establishments
and is Represented in every line of
business. What impresses one is
the volume of the stock carried by
merchants, and it's character. The
orticles are all up-to-date and the
prices are reasonable.
"A vote ls soon to be taken Oh the
question of bonding the city for the
installation of water and sewerage
systems. After the fire, which oc-
CURED here but short time ago, and
the lesson it taught, there can be but
little doubt that the bonds will be
practically unanimously favored.
Fortunately the ground upon which
Malta is situated is level, so that no
expensive grading is necessary, and
will make the laying of water mains
ond sewers easy at a minimum cost.
On March 1st construction work
Will commence Oh 45 miles of irriga-
tion bitches in the immediate vicinity
of Malta. The contracts for these
bitches call for over s25O,O0O. most
Of which necessarily will be paid out
for labor, supplies, forage and horses.
1t readily can be seen What it will
mean to put so much money in circu-
lation.
The railroads already have begun
to gridron the eastern end of Valley
county with steel rails, and with
three roads fighting for the trade of
the country now being opened up ia
northern Montana, it is not a vain
hope thut 4 north and south line will
eventually pass through Malta.
Malta has splendid school system
with an able corps of teachers, and
magnificent school building. The
various church denominations are
represented here. There now is
rising new church that will be the
equal in beauty and point of archi-
lecture of any in northern Montana.
The rough element which in years
gone by were found in this part OF the
state, when it was sparsely settled,
have been driven beyond by the prog
ress of civilization and the develop
ment of the country. This city has
two banks whose statements are a
splendid index to the volume Of bust
ness done here. -
