Notwithstanding that the To-
cal market is glutted with po-
tatoes, Charley Ferres sold 10
tubers the other day for $500.
John Stafford, land appraiser for
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, who has been here for
some time appraising the phys
ical- valuation of the Great Nor
thern, strolled down to the Fer
res ranch the other day and ex-
amined some of the spuds that
Ferres was mining, in his patch
beside the Cut Bank. The great
size, smoothness and color of the
spuds impressed him greatly
and he purchased sixteen. The
sixteen weighed 20 pounds. Mr..
Stafford paid $500 for the pota-
toes. He secured shoe boxes
and packed them four in a box
and sent them to friends in Cali
fornia and elsewhere-to con-
vince them that the Cut Bank
section led in potato culture as
well as grain crops.

School Valuation
is Almost Doubled
Big Strip Territory Added
to the Cut Bank
District

Over half a million in valua-
ton will be added to the Cut
Bank school district as the re-
suit of a conference on Monday
of this week, at Choteau, be-
tween members Of the Brown
ing, Blackfoot and Cut Bank
school districts and the county
superintendent. The local dis
trict was represented by A. F.
Richards and j. w. Coburn.
There was some diSsension at
first over conceding this big ter
ritory, 81 miles long, lying along
the Great Northern right of
way west of this city to district

end the influence of Sen. Cow
gill, who represented district l3,
from which this territory is to
be taken, went far to bring a.
bout the desired concession. The
Blackfoot school district will
now become part Of district
fifteen, a sort of auxiliary to
the Cut Bank district, but with
local jurisdiction and the priv
ilege Of selecting a teacher, we
understand.
This important action, for
which Messrs. Coburn and Rich
ards deserve much credit, will
mean that the valuation for
school purposes will | m 0 s
double, in other words, it will
give US a valuation Of $i3l5, 900,
our present tax valuation being
7l5,000. 1t will give us ample
revenue on a much lower levy
and will be one more important
step in placing the Cut Bank
school in the lead of all other
northern Montana educational
institutions.

VIM. Henry, manager of the
Great Northern tie picking
plant at Somers, spent Saturday
here and went out to look over
his ranch holdings northwest of
town. Mr.. Henry regrets keen
Iy that he was unable to ar
range for the putting in of a
crop on his big ranch, but will
have it all broken up and sowed
to grain next year. He has a
rather novel idea about keeping
the snowfall from blowing of
his ranch and thinks seriously
of putting it into execution
that is, to ship enough material
from his town to construct a
snow fence around the west
and south sides of his ranch
He believes that by doing this
the snow will not blow away
or drift and if this can be &C.
complished it will mean as
much to him as an irrigation
ditch.

John Clark is a firm believer
in marquis wheat for this Sec
ton. Marquis was the favorite
grain crop in the section of
Canada where he formerly
resided and he believes that
there is little difference between
conditions in western Canada
and the range region of Mon
tana. He says that so bushels
to the acre was the biggest
yield he ever heard recorded in
Canada-which proves some
thing else, to-wit: That this
section is not only as good as
Canada as a wheat country
but Just a wee bit better. Fol
proof, turn to the report of the
G. T. Williams yield of Marquis
wheat-51 bushels to the acre
and running over" about 8
pounds to the hundred at the
elevator.
