account Of the original claimants
not having peri formed the necessary
amount Of work under their con
tract with the board. This report
lis considered as 4 victory for the
remons strators id this section Of the
country, and leads those interested
ito believe that the land will be-
thrown open within the next thirty
days.
The opening of this land means
much to HarloWton and Twodot,
as these towns will be greatly ben
eftted in the increased amount Of
business that will be thrown to
these two towns.
There are about one hundred
and twenty or thirty quarter see
tions in this tract and that means
as many homesteads and the re
asnltant trade therefrom.
IT has also been quite definitely
understood from authoritative
sources that the squatters will b 9
given preference rights ito the land.

Il is surprising where the trade
all comes from. Avisit to all the
various stores Of Harlowton will
convince one that trade is excep-
|tionally good. OF course there is
always q little furry when the
first signs of winter appear but
the volume of business that has
been transacted by the stores Of
Harlowton the past week is evi
dence that there is something more
than the coming of winter influenc.
ing the trade that is being taken
care of here. @
Crops are exceptionally good in
this vicinity this year and there
are many people who have been do
ing without many things that they
needed but could not afford to buy
heretofore and in view Of their
prospects for good harvest, they
ar" buying those necessary articles.
The writer visited the various
stores this week and found them
all as busy as they could possibly
be filling orders. The lines pur.
chased represent all kinds of mer-
chandise. OF course the usual fall
rush is ON in stoves, but bedding,
furniture, groceries, clothing, boots
and shoes, dress goods, building
material and barelW ware are on tht
purchasing list OF the buyers.
At Marshall's busy corner, the
genial manager, Charlie Reiff, says
they have more trade than they
can possibly take care of, and

the run, we were inclined to be-
