In a contest in the American Maya
zine for an article on why l Like MY
Own Part of the Country" the third
prize was won by -. e. Lincoln OF
Montana. His article, entitled, 1.-The
Land of Shining Mountains" is as
follows:
Montana, The Land of Shining
Mountains!
Eight years ago the tenth of Aug
ust, l rolled off the top of a coal car
right into the middle of more coun-
try than l had imagined existed. 1t
was Montana, and it looked good to
me. My total assets hat day were
$14, a decidedly sketchy suit of
clothes, and a very real feeling of
disgust for the city in which l had
spent 26 years of my life. Montana
has treated me better than / deserve.
Tidy Sum of War Chest.
"See the log house up at the head
of that coulee? It's mine. Wouldn't
stack up very big beside some OF
those city places you see in the Sun
day papers, but it has four rooms and
a real bath. Around the house lie
" hundred acres of the finest
ranch land in the U. S. A. We had
three hundred acres planted to winter
wheat this year. 1t threshed twenty
five bushels an acre-with wheat at
$1.35 a bushel. That lifted the last
of the mortgage and left a tidy sum
for the war chest.
"Waking up on a fall morning in
our country is just al near going to
heaven as m earthly experience can
be. You 60 to the back door to look
at the weather. Your chest swells an
extra two inches to take in every
possible atom of the spruce-tanged,
champagne air. Your muscles tight
en- to the sense that you were born
for a great endeavor-daring deeds
and marvellous accomplishments. God
comes down from the mountain top
to shake hand with you, and you
laugh together at the rising sun.
Neighbors Eager to Aid.
"Our nearest neighbor is two miles
away. When our outfit burned to
the ground five years ago, he took us
in for six months. 1t nearly brought
on a neighborhood row, for all the
other neighbors wanted u.s., too.
"Our amusements aren't as simple
as you might think: We have
couple of blue grass saddle horses
the coulees all over the ranch are full
of prairie chicken; the little creek is
stocked with trout; the first snowfall
sends the deer down from the hills
For winter evenings we have thu

we grow lonesome, the city is onl.
20 miles off, and we can easily reacl
!, it by riding the five miles to the rail
road.

1t is suggested that the garage
owners along the Yellowstone and
Glacier Park trains form an organiza-
ton when they go to Great Falls to
attend the states first automobile
show.
At Thermopolis, Wyo., an associa-
ton was formed and incorporated a
week ago establishing a line of asso-
ciated garages along the Yellowstone
highway to be known as the Yellow
stone Highway Garage association.
The object of this association is
to insure better service to the auto
tourist and local automobile owners.
Name Grief Men.
A grievance committee has been
appointed to adjust all grievances or
complaints reported to the association
by it's patrons.
This means service and efficiency
at prices within reach of every auto
mobile owner, and the fact that the
leading garages along the Yellow
stone highway are members of this
association ssure the public of bet
ter service in the automobile BUSH
ness.
The officers of the association for
the first year are: Gus Holms of Co.
dy, president; Hosea M. Hantz Of
Thermopolis, vice-president, and R..
M. Lamont Of Cheyenne, secretary
and treasurer.

STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST GOPHERS TO BE
WAGED COMING SPRING

A campaign of determination
against gophers, prairie dogs and
ground squirrels is to be undertaken
in the spring by the county agricul-
turalists with the cooperation of the
farmers. C. H. Warrington, the new
ly appointed Custer county agent,
who for several years has been con-
nected with the government biologi-
cal survey, has been advising state
and other county officials regarding
the methods to be adopted.
Oats soaked in a strychnine solu-
ton will be placed near the holes of
the animals. incubation with des-
tructive disease germs has not been
successful, but has created a source
of danger in the possibility of the
transfer of disease to other animals
or wen to humans.
The destructive qualities of the
mammals is shown economically by
the federal estimate to the effect
that 80 prairie dogs consume as
much grass as a sheep, and 200 prai-
rie dogs as much as a COW. These
figures were compiled in Colorado
but apply in Montana.
In North Dakota in 1910 the loss
from mammals was estimated at
$4,000, 900 and in 1914 at $4,000, 900.
In Montana there are some districts
in the Crow Indian reservation and
the Custer forest that are almost use
less because of the prevalence of the
prairie dogs.
The Richardson ground squirrel is
prevalent in northern Montana east
of the continental divide and in the
eastern counties of the state. The
Columbian ground squirrel is more
prevalent in the western slope but
is found on most slopes of the state
that are heavily wooded or foraged,
The prairie dogs are found mostly
east of the continental divide and are
numerous in southeastern Montana.

Who is the well-built, handsome man
In suit of blue or sometimes tan,
Well known to every motor fan?

To pass the time and earn his pay?

Whether you are to blame or not?
(Verse l, line A.
Who makes you stop, then makes

To let a mere pave-pounder pass?

Amazing Advance of the Motor Car

Ohio, president of the Willys-Over-
land company, at the session of the
tenth annual convention of the AS

awakened us to their more efficient
development. Europe must be re-
built after this war ends. We will
have the trained men as never before.
1t will be our work, The profits will
be ours. There is warrant only for
optimism. But if we are to realize
our commercial ultimate, there must
be a minimum curbing of Individual
aggressiveness. The amazing ad-
vance of the motor car industry

Optimism has reaped it's rewards.
Look at the changes the motor car
has wrought in our daily life. 1t has
bettered it in every factor, urban and
rural, social and commercial.
Patriotism of Business.
"There is no greater error in our
national life than failure justly to ap-
praise the patriotism of the American
merchant, manufacturer and finan-
cier. I genuinely believe that the hope
of our country lies in the efficiency
that we have developed in so-called
Big Business and in the patriotic
willingness of the men who contro,
this efficiency to devote it's full power
to the safeguarding of the nation. In.
dustrial efficiency in this country
goes far beyond governmental eff.
cheney. This can be said without any
lack Of patriotism. The very nature
of our institutions, the working ou'

eminent methods that permanency 81

Potatoes for the Poor.

The people of Red Lodge made a
most unique contribution to charity
recently. Every man, oma and
child who attended church on a GER
tain Sunday took with him to the
pastor a single potato, to be given to
poor families. AS Red Lodge is a
church-going community, and there
are a number of churches in that
thriving town, the contribution was
considerable. Tom Pollard of the
Pollard hotel has the distinction of
having carried the largest tuber to
church.

by the Willys-Overland company, to
be known to the automobile world as
the WHY'S six. In body design it
shows certain radical departures
from accepted standards, the 1875
inch wheel base being accentuated by
the straight lines and roll edge of
the body, giving the car a pro-
nounced long, low appearance. 1t is
built for seven passengers and is fin
ished in a deep French blue, with

pressed with same. If a good strong
! company takes hold of this mine there
. will soon be another mill in line for
! the camp.
The Buster Con. Mines Co. closed
its mill when the conditions of the
road made the expense of hauling in
| fueloil too great, besides, the cold
weather made 1t hard to hold the tail,
ings and there were other expenses
and losses that made it advisable to
close the mill until the weather condi.
tons were more favorable and it being
considered more advisable to install
the cyanide addition TO the mill before
treating more ore and thus save much
of the loss that has been accommodating
in the failing pond. Development work
has been prosecuted in the mine right
along and some rich ore has been en-
countered in the new workings.
The lessees on the Pick and Shovel
after making very successful short
run with their mill, closed the mill
down owing 10 the difficulty of haul
ing the ore from the mine down to the
mill; the development work in the
mine has been pushed and several ore
chutes are well opened up so that a
very satisfactory amount of ore is In
| sight ready for the mill when il be-
/ comes practicable TO start it again. a
snow slide occurred on the Bonanza
creek slope and took away the ore
bin at the lower tunnel. but fortunate
| ly there was little ore in it at the
time.
4 new strike has been made on
! Pine creek by George S. Sweeney, who
| has opened four foot vein which
shows values in the pan.
This has been the most severe Will
! ter experienced in the camp, a heavy
snow fall ana exceptionally heavy
! winds, but there has been very few
snow slides owing TO the fact that the
wind swept the snow off from the
bare hill sides and accumulated it in
the hollows and on the protected
! slopes where there is considerable tim
Der; il is therefore probable that there
will be less slides than usual, and an
advantage will accrue from the fact
that the snow will melt very slowly
and keep up the supply of water late
into the season.
