MONTANA FARMS
ARE IN DEMAND
MANY BUYERS OF WHEAT LAND
COMING FROM WASHINGTON
AND THE WEST.
Land Selling Here for $40 Will Grow
as Much Wheat as Washington
Land Which Brings as High as 500
Per Acre; This Condition Brings
Buyers to Montana.

Real estate men are quite cheerful
over the general land situation in all
parts of the state. One leading fac
tor in the demand for Montana land
is the assured high price of wheat for
several years to come. A remarkable
situation is the immigration from the
west. In the past the settlers have
come from the east almost exclusive
ly, and while the great bulk of home
seekers and land buyers still come
from the west is assuming proper
tions of consideration.
People are coming into Montana
from eastern Washington and the
country around Spokane. These far
mers are looking for land where
there has been some development. 1t
seems that in eastern Washington
farming does not show any great
amount of profit, considering land
values.
Montana Land Values Low.
The Montana land which sells at
from $50 to $50 per acre, will pro-
duce as much wheat, and in some in
stances more, as the land of eastern
Washington, which sells as high as
$50 per acre.
Another factor in calling attention
to Montana is the fact that the rail
roads are now beginning to realize
the advantage of bringing farmers
to Montana, now that the demand is
So great for wheat land. Heretofore,
the railroads were after the long haul
and the coast states were boosted to
the detriment of Montana.
High Yields Factor.
But it is the wheat lands of the
state that is calling the farmer espe-
cially those of the central states
Statistics show that on an average,
the Illinois wheat lands produce only
II bushels to the acre, while in this
state the acre average is 1913 BUSH
els. And in addition to this, wheat
lands in the central states are selling
from 500 to 1925 an acre, while
fertile. land for wheat pro-
duccing may be brought in Montana
in the neighborhood of $50 an acre.
It is long lane that has no turn.
Wheat has the call and Montana has
the land.

Looking for Grave; Found Husband.
A woman who gave her name as
Mrs Johnston, wearing widows
weeds, called on Mayor w. H. Malon-
ey of Butte to ask the mayor to help
her locate her husbands grave. She
said he was lost in the Granite Noun
tain mine disaster Instead of a
grave she found live husband who
had been drunk for two weeks and
afraid to go home.

WHEAT $3.50 PER
BUSHEL

1t is being proposed that the Govern
ment fix the price for wheat this fall
at $3.50 per bushel. At this price, there
will be a splendid profit to the farmer.
The demands of this country for grain
and foodstuffs of all kinds is going to
be unprecehented--we not only have to
feed our own people but the allied Eu-
ropean countries as well. 1t is u pa
triotic duty and not a single acre
should be allowed to remain idle.

MONTANA, Helena, Montana, with it's

F T: ound 4 .: ]. Hanging i
From a Rafter

Dickinson, N. D., Mch. Carl
Eckstein, a homesteader residing on
Biccegel creek, about SIX miles west
of Grassy Butte. committed suicide
by hanging.
The body was discovered by Ray
mond Hayes and Tom Farley, neigh
ors living In sight Of the Eckstein
buildings. Not seeing anyone
about the place for some time they
concluded to ride down on Sunday
evening and ascertain ii anything
was wrong. The door of the house
was unlocked. and as there was no
one there they went to the barn.
was guarded by the homesteader's
dog. which was watching just our-
side.
The door was forced and upon
examination of the dark interior
the body of Eckstein was found
hanging from rope attached to
rafter. Three large pieces of coal
were evidently used by the man to
stand on while adjusting the moose
about his head. A deep cash in
one wrist denoted that the desper-
ate man had first attempted to take
his life by severing the arteries Of
the arm. This first act was COM
mitted in the house, as a razor was
found lying in the sink and pair
nearby contained a large quantity
of blood.
AS a coroner could not be sum-
moned owing to the almost impass-
able roads, Justice A. e. Lawhead
and Constable John sMarucheck
were called and held an inquest
over the remains, deciding that the
man had come to his, death by sui
eide.
Eckstein had acted in a peculiar
manner for several months past
and had frequently threatened sui
eide. He had made attempts at
taking his own life 1pon former oc-
casions, but was prevented by
neighbors. He frequently COM
planned Of being lonesome ana
maintained that he was tired of life..

along nicely untif they arrived where
the road crosses the : Milwaukee

The rig passed over the first rail
but when it hit the sesond the story
was d;f.erent. The runner Of che

pretty good rate, the occupants were
thrown clear of the rig. In landing
Mr.. Beeman's head came in contact
with the hard rail, knocking him un-
conscious Immediately. Mr.. Auer
who passed through the accidant
without mishap, carried the uncon-
scious man to the rig and hurried
him to his home where the injuries
were treated. h. .ss
