millions of acres were filed on in this
state last year alone, and of this
amount 100000 were strictly for
Farming purposes; the others being
Tor mineral and timber lands.
Inc telling and ~forceful romance of
the soil is told simply On the little
maps on file in the surveyor generals
office. Last year and the year before
that the map indicated the little
homes of the settler dotted here and
there. In most instances, with many
miles intervening. This year the map
Is a veritable checker-board of home
steads. In many instances the map
points out where settlements which
nave become thickly populated, and
this, more than anything else, shows
that the man who takes his family to
pioneer on the hitherto untitled Mon.
tana soil has faith in the land.
