II BY bold and rapid strokes the leu
tonic invaders apparently have con-
dtsSed a large section of north west
ern Wallachia from the Rumanians.
Petrograds official bulletin today
announces a Rumanian retirement in
this part of the battle front as to the
region of Filliash, forty miles north
west of Craiova. Judging from the
resent reports of the operations this
means that converging attacks by
Austro- German forces moving south
ward In the jul valley and eastward
along the railway from Orsova have
compelled the Rumanians to with
draw from the Orsova region and
execute a rapid retreat in the jul
valley.
Whether even the rapid retreat in
dbrSted has been in time to save the
Rumanian armies in this region is
rendered doubtful by the German an
gnouncement that Teutonic troops are
now before Craiova. The railroad
running through Craiova to Bucharest
affords the only convenient line Of re-
tirement for the Orsova and jul val
ley armies. While the Rumanians
have evidently reached the junction
point of the jul valley road with
the main line the loss of Craiova
would effectually bar their way east
ward except across country.
Further eastward in Wallachia the
arrival of Russian troops seems to
have strengthened the Rumanian de-
Tense. The Russians took the often
%Ne north of Campulung, according
ito Berlin but were repulsed.
In the other chief field Of present
military activity, the Macedonian
front, French and Serbian troops are
making progress.

LAND SPECULATION

From eastern agencies comes the
word that Montana will be the des-
tination next year of more than the
average number of settlers and that
the state also will attract very
large number of investors who will
seek opportunities to place their idle
capital at work. For both home
seekers and investors there should be
a hearty welcome. Perhaps no state
in the union offers so much to either
class as Montana.
In the settlers who find homes in
Montana the state will gain a perma-
nent asset. The state has immense
areas of land not yet touched by a
plow, and everything should be done

GIRL LOST IN BAD LANDS

The daughter of Sam Biron, a Rus
sian who lives three miles northwest
of Roanwood mysteriously disap-
peared Monday afternoon, and no
trace was found of her the next day,
although the whole neighborhood
searched the country around her
home, says the Opheim Optimist.
The girl, who is about IL years old,
could not speak word of English,
and had never been off the homestead
in the two years the family have
lived there. She went out to the barn
to do the milking at about o'clock
that day, and when she did not return
her father went out and found the
milk pail in the barn and one of the
horses gone.
Wednesday the searching parties
who We're securing the country fol
her, found the girl in barn IL miles
west of her home. She became lost
while looking for the cows and drift
ed over towards Rock Creek, finall,
finding shelter in a barn, where sh.
spent two days and nights, protected
from the below-zero weather by moth
ing but straw. Fortunately she es
capped with slightly frozen hands ant

an article written by President Hill
of the Great Northern, appearing in
the current issue Of Realty, published
in Newark, N. J.
The policy is summarized by Mr..
Hill as follows:
ITO build branch lines where there
is a promise Of freight and passenger
development.
ITO ascertain the agricultural and
other possibilities Of the country by
actual experimental work in advance
of its settlement.
ITO conduct experiments to make
clear to the farmers in the older
wheat growing sections what benefits
will arise from careful cultivation and
fertilization.
"To bring in and distribute live
stock Of superior merit, with view
to encouraging the farmers to grow
better class Of stock"
Mr.. Hill continues:
"Our problem is two-fold-frst to
bring the settler to our country; after
that to show him how to grow the
crops best adapted to that particular
section as a necessity, that crop rota-
ton must obtain if we are to hold the
soil in a satisfactory physical condi-
ton.
"If the railroad is to be highly
prosperous the agricultural lands
along its lines must give each year
economic maximum returns. To aid
best in obtaining this condition we
are soliciting the practical farmer to
settle upon the land and assisting him
in quickly arriving at the production
of maximum crops"

ANOTHER MILESTONE

Goodbye to 1916. There are only
a few days left of period of time in
which many changes have been
wrought. It has been year of trial
and stress. The war continues over
in Europe and we have had our own
little fun watching Villa make faces
at Uncle Sam across the border. The
business world has been more upset
than ever before due to increased
prices and the shortage of raw ma
terial.
Our own little city has itself
changed greatly since the year began.
There have been many improvements,
substantial new business blocks and
manufacturing plants have been
erected and it is becoming known as
a city of fine homes.
The coming year holds much in
store, and it is beyond human power
to predict whit will take place. But
as this is the season when we look
back over the year in a spirit OF
thanhulness for the many good
things it has brought US, we hope
that the year soon to begin will bring
its full share Of Peace, Prosperity and
Happiness to all.

On Saturday afternoon he said to
his friends at his bedside while gasp

"God is love; he has made us in his

Plan; nothing can harm u.s."
On Christmas Day he grew weaker,
and though he tried to talk, he could
not make himself understood, but
when asked if he had any fear, he
said "no" with smile that lighted
his whole face. At half past six on
Christmas Day he quietly went to
