THRESHING OPERATIONS
DRAWING TO A CLOSE

Farmers Report Big Yields. Grain
Hauling Begun.
The past week has been a very good
one for threshing operations and
thousands of bushels of grain have
been threshed out in the north coun-
try, all of which made splendid yields.
Another two weeks Of good weather
and threshing will be finished, says
the Glentana Reporter. !
In the Avondale country the grain
seems to be yielding more consistent
ly than in any other section of Valley
County. Charles Goodrich threshed
1O2 bushels of wheat from four BUSH
els sown, his oats made seventy BUSH
els and his flax about thirteen BUSH
els to the acre. Ira Goodrich got thir-
ty and one-half bushels of wheat to
the acre and Bennie Sather threshed
thirty-five bushels. of wheat to the
acre and over seventy bushels of oats.
Melvin Haug's flax made fifteen
bushels, his wheat better than thirty
and his oats about sixty, machine
measure. His oats weigh 48 pounds
to the bushel measure, which is ex-
ceptionally heavy.
Threshing is practically completed
in the Avondale country and the
farmers are all busy hauling it for
shipment. They haven't the room to
store it.
South of Glentana, James McCor-
mick's wheat went twenty-eight BUSH
els to the acre, and his oats made
sixty-five bushels. James A.. Mead
threshed thirty-two bushels of wheat
to the acre and his oats made sixty
five bushels.
Farmers have been hauling grain
into Glasgow in a steady stream the
last week and yesterday there was an
endless string of wagons filled with
the products of Valley County farms,
lined up in front of the local elevators.
Many farmers are loading their grain
into cars and shipping independently
and the loading platform is also help
ing the farmers who ship direct.

BIG INCREASE in
STATES VALUE
Rapid Development of Montana
Shown in Figures
ACREAGE MORE
Valuation of All Classes of Property
Boosted in the State. Real Estate
and Livestock Advance.

Some idea of the rapid strides which
Montana is making toward developing
her resources may be had by a peru
sal Of the figures on property valua-
tion compiled at Helena. In a single
year Montana has added to her valu-
alton the enormous sum of $27, ,423,-
999. Here are the figures on the va
rious kinds of property assessed, in
cluding the number of acres assessed
by counties:
Acres of land, 28,842,624.
Value of land, $121 ,327,442
All other real estate, $46,235,3S6.
All other personal property, $71,-
7O7 900.
Total real and personal, $3.50, 0,539,-
967.
Railroad valuation, $79, 9,195,951.
As compared with the figures Of
last year, there has been substan-
tial increase in every class of prop
erty, as is shown by the following
figures taken from the 1914 report:
Acres of land, 25,836,655.
Value of land, $112,317,130.
All other real estate, S113,703,774.
Livestock, $4O,OO9, ,405.
All other personal property, $685.
678,292.
Total real and personal property,
1886, ,7O8, 500.
Railroad valuation, $76,653, ,32O.
Total valuation, $412,361,919.
The greatest increase over last year
is in the item of real estate aside
from land, which has been boosted
over $7,OOO,OOO, indicating that the
cities and towns are more than keep
ing pace with the rural districts in
development.
The next largest increase is in The
, item of livestock, which has increased
in value more than $6,OO0,0OO. The
railroad valuation, which was materi-
ally increased in 1914 over 1913 by
the state board of equalization, was
lifted again this year over 10000.
The figures show that Fergus
County has the greatest assessed
acreage, 1912, 1853, with Rosebud close
second with 1,S38,617 and Dawson
third with 1,733,228. Valley County
has 276,93O acres assessed this year.
Gallatin County land is assessed
higher than any in the state, being
$7.45, while Valley land is $3.50 per
acre.
The total assessed valuation of the
state this wear is s439, ,785,918 and the
increase in two years amounts to $780,
600, 900. In less than decade at the
present rate of progress and develop
ment, the commonwealth will have an
assessed valuation Of 81 900, 600, 900.

FALLS UNDER WAGON.

Claude Paine, Of Hinsdale, is at the
Deaconess HospitaLwith a broken jaw
and badly swollen neck as the re-
suit of fall from a wagon last Sat-
urday. Paine was going out with a
farmer north of Hinsdale and while
getting on the wagon he slipped and
fell under the wheels. The horses be-
came frightened and started ahead
and one of the wheels passed over his
neck jaw. He was given medical at
tention at Hinsdale and was brought

taken to the hospital. His condition
is greatly improved.

TRIP WESTWARD
Glasgow Proves Unc0ngenial
Host to "Weary Willies."
LOCAL AUTHORITIES BUSY
RObberies and HOldups Reported in
Several Towns Along G. N.
Police Are Watchful.

oOuHu AOI SUNNY CIAHIco, AOAuSo Va
men returning from the harvest fields
of Dakota and western Minnesota
have been going through the city
daily. Their visit here has been of
very short duration to the majority,
who alighted from their private box
cars and favored US with their pres
ence, as the watchful and alert Sher-
lock Holmes on the local police force
have requested them to continue their
journey toward the setting sun.
Boes of every age, nature and de-
scription have come in on every
freight train, and some have hooked
rides on passenger trains. Some after
becoming too friendly acquainted with
John Barleycorn have been the unwill-
ing guests Of the Hotel de Powell and
after appearing in police court the
next morning have been cordially in
vited to "beat it,"
The majority of the genus hobo who
have been in our midst are members
of the I.W.W. and some are extremely
radical in their views. They are head
ed for the sunny hillsides and green
pastures of California, Oregon and
Washington, where they will hiber-
nate until the mayflowers appear in
the spring. Butte will also receive a
plentiful supply.
An average of twenty have been
taken to the city lookup every night
and some against whom there were
more serious charges were given Jail
sentences, while the others were dis
patched westward. The city police
and sheriff's force have been working
together to see that they do not tarry
too long here and that they leave he~e
that which is not theirs, as reports
from all along the line state that
there have been holdups, and petty
robberies of every description.
The authorities are handling the
bo crop in an excellent manner and
thus far no act of violence has oc-
CURED in the city that can be ascribed
to them. Every freight train is
watched on it's arrival and it's occu-
pants given the "once over" and if
their presence is not especially de-
sired they are assisted on their west
ward travels.
A report from Bainville states that
an unsuccessful attempt was made to
rob the Walton store there by ho-
boes one night last week, and three
men protesting to be l. w W..s were
caught and taken to Plentywood to
await trial. Several other acts of
violence were also committed in that
city, and the same night one of the
gang of l. w. WIS in the city was
numerically beaten by his fellow
travellers.
Minor robberies have also been re-
ported in other towns, but with the
advent of freezing weather, the ho-
boes will probably not stop as often
as they did, but will hasten to make
rapid connections to get out of the
frigid zone and down where fur coats
IN December are out of style.

A great many of the tax payers OF
Wildwood desire that owners of prop
erty in the city express an opinion
whether or not they favor the issuance
of 800, 900 in bonds for the erection of
a high and grammar school, and $40. 600
for the resurfacing of streets In the first
ward. Property owners are urged to
write the City Commissioners at once

the propositions. One year ago a state

Commissioners VIII Soon
Grant Licenses

City Solicitor Voorhees, made the
welcome statement that this would be
the last year that Cape May County
would he listed as a fourth class county,
and that with the census of this year,
it would 90 into the third class.
The law provides that all Counties
having a population of less than 20, 900
shall be designated fourth class coun-
ties, and until this time Cape May
County had not a sufficient permanent
population to go into the third class.
The 1915 census will be taken in
August, and the report made at the
opening of the mex session of the leg
islature. As soon as this report Is re-
ceived, it becomes official. The change
to third class will mean that every city
in the County will have the power to
grant its liquor licenses, instead of their
being granted by the County Judge, as
10 the past. Until this time Cape May
has been the only County in the State
of New Jersey having a population of
less than 20. 900, and 10 the fourth class.
