GOOD SCHOOL AT
POLYTECHNIC

Great preparations are being
made for a large enrolment at the
Polytechnic Institute. Ever since
this popular institution was organ
lied near Billings four years ago,
there has been a lack of accommo-
dations for those who wanted to
enter. This past year campaign
for funds, to be used in the enlarge
ment of the institute, has been
carried on throughout the East
and as result the school is able
to erect shop building and a girls
dormitory, and dining hall. This
makes it possible to double the
capacity Of the school, and at the
same time give far better advan
tages TO the students.
The new teachers who have been
added to the faculty will mean
much to the life Of the school. a

News office last Wednesday.
These gentlemen are interested in
one Of the biggest land deals that
has been made in the state. They
have purchased $4,000 acres east
Of the Billings-Northern, extending
from Judith Gap to Lavina. The
company will have its headquarters
at Hedgesville, and the local man
ager will be a gentleman named
Little from Chicago.
This land is all railroad land
and practically every acre of it is
tillable. 1t is such stupendous
deals as this that will make this
rapidly into farming

word. The homesteader is all right
but it has been the case in the
past that the homesteader is not

PROMINENT VISI-
TORS in TOWN

Among our out-of-town guests
last week were Lewis Penwel] of
Helena, S. Stillman Berry of Red
lands, and Mrs. d. G. Berry of Red
lands, California, who came
to attend the annual stockholders
meeting of the Winnecook Land &
Live Stock Co.
M. N. Stevens was reelected
president, j. Wheeler Freeman
secretary treasurer, and Claire
Wellington, ranch manager, with
the main office of the company at
Harlowton for the coming year.
The stockholders present seem
ed pleased with conditions in this
vicinity and declared themselves
well satisfied with the outlook.
The Winnecook is the largest of
the old ranching properties remain
ing in the Musselshell country,
their holdings comprising about
$4,000 acres Of decided land, with
additional land under lease.

LAW VOID ON
DUCKS AND GEESE

The Galena (Illinois) Gazette
says: "Sportsmen perhaps will be
surprised to learn that notwith-
standing the states give the right
to kill ducks and geese at certain
seasons of the year, they will be
forever prohibited from such sport
hereafter. Under the new govern
ment law, wild ducks and wild
geese are classified as migratory
and fine of 500 and ninety days
imprisonment is provided for kill
ing a migratory bird. The law
went through as a rider to one OF
the appropriation bills in the clos
ing days of the Taft administration
and the law applies to every por-
tion of the nation. The laws of
iowa, Illinois and all other states
in reference to these birds was ac-
cordingiy made null. and void.
The law does not effect Wisconsin
except on the Mississippi river. -

The interest in the Carey lands
near here is unabated and specula-
tion rife among the wou d,be set
tiers whether or not they will get
their land. 1t is understood that
the State Carey land board appeal
ed their case but it is said that
they waited too long. A gentle.
man from Lewistown and one from
Harlowton went to Washington
this week and it is believed that
when they return they will bring
with them definite information rel
ative to the standing of the many
who have taken land in this body.
There is one sure thing and that
is that those who have made the
start had better keep onlgoing and
see that they live on their land as
much as possible.
The Carey Land Board of Mon
, tana appealed from the decision of
the Interior Department which had
cancelled the segregation of the
land north of town.
This land hes been held from en-
try since 1908. No work has been
done towards getting water OH it
except making a survey for canals,
reservoirs, etc.
All of this land is as good as can
be found in Montana. it is high
time that this land should be
thrown open for entry instead OF
being controlled by company not
able financially to get water on it,
and only holding it with the idea
of getting capital interested SO
that they can realize handsome
profit for their trouble.
There are 21,O0O acres in the
tract aud 10000 acres Of it is farm

land, capable of producing from 20
to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre.
The following article from the
News of Lewistown, while not set
tling any points in the case will
be read with interest by those do
ing the 'squatter" stunt:
The big land rush at Harlowton
seems to be slightly premature in
some respects. Of course, the squat.
ters may be none too soon and can
hold their places until time for fill
ing comes, but no filings can be
made on the land for perhaps from
two to three months or even long.
er. Inquiry at the local land Of
fee has brought forth some inter
esting information concerning the
affair. ..r.-
The land is embraced in Carey
project withdrawal, and has been
SO contained for three years past,
nothing having been done to re-
claim the land which consists of
21,21O acres of government land.
The tract is located in the strip
where alternate sections are rail
road sections. owned by the N. P.
railway. .
The state has up until tomorrow
to file a REIMBURSEMENT of the tract
or any part of it. If the relin.
quishment is not filed the land will
revert to the government by de-
fault ,-but in either instance it will
not be restored to entry for cou-
pie of months. The relinquish-
ment or the default must be sent
up to the Washington department.,
and final action will necessarily be
deferred for some time. The states

NEAR SPRINGS

| White Sulphur Springs Repub-
llican: Northern Pacific surveyors
are encampd at Willow Greek, east
OF town, and are working east of
there. In few days they will be
engaged in running the line be-
tween White Sulphur and Willow
creek. This is the final survey
and the line as now surveyed is
practically the same as the former
survey made three years ago. It
comes direct as possible from Glen
dive, and from here will be extend
ed 70 Helena. The line is cutoff
on the present through line and
will shorten the n. p. road nearly
100 miles.
The survey misses Harlowton
Twodot and Martinsdale from 5 to
Is miles, but that the road will
build to those towns is very plain.
The surveyors at present are to
work only as far as the town limits.
but are cross-sectioning the line az
they come, which argues constrnc-
tion in the near future.
The opinion is generally held in
railroad circles that the Northern
Pacific will try and complete this
before the Panama exposition op.
ems. To accomplish this it will be
necessary to begin construction all
along the line this fall or early
next spring. Of course, the un-
! fsettled money market may cause
the road to delay, but that is con-
sidered improbable.
The completion of the road 10
the Springs will mark the greatest
boom that has occurred in this part
of the state in several years. 1t is
believed that at that time all the
larger ranches will be broken up
and sold, and the population apf
the town and valley increased sew
eral times.

DUTCH VERSUS

Being as the Harlowton team
did not have a game last Sunday.
Harry Hogl and Ed English got
together two teams and played
seven innings of what proved a
very conical game. Hogl's gang of
warriors winning ~ to II.
1t was hard fought struggle,
both teams fighting from start TO
finish as the losers had to banquet
the winners. This they did very
gracefully, pretzels and some of
Hogl's best was served at nine o.
clock, Mr.. English being master
of ceremony.
Jennings and Mckinney pitched
for the Hoglites and were given
good support. They had a stone wall
outfeld behind them. Cap. Hogi
in right, covered a lot of ground
and his wonderful throwing arm
turned back several daring base
runners. Gerty pass the mustard.
Mayor Jenizen is to be compliment
ed on his rare Judgment in secur-
ing a fast man like Mussleman for
nightwatchman. Fatty is some CEN
ter fielder whose speed has never
been witnessed on the local ground.
Ii there had been anyone scouting
for the big leagues in this part Of
the bushes he surely would get
chance to 80 up.
Cap. Hogl made d switch in his
line up taking Boes off Of first base
and putting him on second, which
strengthened his infield. Boes is a
speed merchant on the infield and
a good hitter. Cap Hogl is the old

HOOPER WANTS

]. M. Kennedy, commissioner 3
agriculture and publicity, ,yesterda,
received letter from Don il. Ber
~ Of Indianola, Iowa, confdentia
man Of Harry r. Hooper, a million
aire timber operator of the Hawk
eye state, asking the aid of the de
partment in bringing settlers into
the Judith Basin to colonize 80,
600 acres Of land, which Mr.. Hoop
er proposes to purchase, says the
Helena independent.
If the deal goes through, ane the
interest which Mr.. Berry evinced
in Montana after recent trip here
indicated that it may, it will be
one of the biggest land transactions
ever pulled off in the state, and
will involve $2,5OO,0OO.
Mr.. Berry, a month ago, made a
trip to the Treasure State and af-
ter inspecting portions of the state,
declared that no greater oppor-
tunities for investment could be
found in any part of the United
States, than in Montana. He i'm
mediately got in touch with Mr..
Kennedy, securing literature on
conditions here, and now asks the
assistance of the department. to
help the company which he repre-
sents, to bring settlers into that
basin. azs-
Mr.. Hopper is one Of the big
gest timber operators in the Unit
ed States. He is chairman Of the
board of directors of a timber COM
pany, organized in Chicago three
years ago, with head offices in In
dianola, Iowa, and having paid up
capitalization of $35,OO0,O0O.
Mr.. Hopper is a millionaire sew
eral times over, and last year paid
taxes on an assessed valuation Of
$5OO,OOO in Indianola alone.
Don L. Berry, his confidential
man. who was thoroughly taken
up with Montana, and who believes
it is bonanza as an investment.
has travelled extensively over the
United States and Canada and
knows whereof he speaks. He will
visit in Montana in the near future
and expects to come to Helena for
some further information on the
state.
Mr.. Berry formerly was in Des
Moines, where he worked as a re-
porter on the Register and Leader,
Iowa's leading newspaper. He is
the son Of ex-senator w. Fl. Berry,
who is now chairman of the state
board of parole, and one of the
most prominent men in Iowa. He
is one of the most competent pub
]icity men in the middle west and
has been in Mr. Hopper's employ
for several years.

Commissioner Bennett, expires on
Aug. 7th. No matter what action
is taken the routine at Washington
will take some time. After a re
cord of the REIMBURSEMENT on the
default is made on the local re,
cords, after the final decision from
Washington, the land will be open
to filing.
The tract was withdrawn three
years ago by f. HI. Ray and r. T.
Black, aud part of the rights were
assigned to the Musselshell Deyel-
opment company. Mr.. Benefits
decision Of recent date says that
there is no evidence of a water an.
preparation for the reclamation of
the tract, although the proposers
claim water from the Musselshell
will be used. On account of the
tract being in the railroad grant,
it is difficult and expensive to irri.
gate, as ever other section is not
in the project. Many complaints
from Harlowton people who wanted
to see the land restored to entry
and settled. 1t had been idle for
years, which was claimed as an in
justice. No more procrastination
will be permitted by the govern.
ment, and the project was ordered
rejected by the commissioner.
1t is said about 200 squatters
have already settled on the land,
and that countless cabins have
been built. The land is said to be
very fertile and adapted to wheat
growing, the average rainfall there
being 16 inches, according to gov.
ernment reports.
The following from the Judith
Gap Journal, is a fairly good indi-
cation of the jealousy that is con-
Stunning that little village. For
down right envy and jealousy the
following article is the limit.
Brother you are out of tune. Get
right with the world. DO little

Come up to Harlowton, learn of
her ways and be wise. Don't bite
yourself that way. What if the
Cary land was all taken by "Har-
lowton business men and their rel
atives"? Haven't they as much
right to it as the business men of
Judith Gap, their friends and rel
atives? Come, wake up and get
in the game. If you can't boost
don't knock:
