There was a lively debate in the
lobby of the Harris Theatre the other
evening as to how stardom is attained.

Simultaneous personal triumph that

/ in, the question was decided that Miss
Yurka had become a fixed star. The
following instances were cited Of
actresses having acquired permanent
fame in a single performance:
| Clara Morris played the role OF Anne
| Sylvester in "Man and Wife which
opened September 10, 1870. The next
morning she was famous.
Julia Marlowe played Psrthenis In

/ October 20, 1887, and was hailed as
star forthwith.
Maude Adams appeared as Suzanne
in support of John Drew in "The
Masked Ball" at Palmer's Theatre, Oc-

her star was fixed.
Ethel Barrymore played Nine. lren-

NNE Of the most effective char
~ scters in "A Tailor-Made Man" IS
that Of Peter. tailor's helper, played
sv parlowe Borland. Borland Is
Scstch actor, native Of Greenock,
where they used to build famous
Tschts. At the age of seventeen he joined
Osmond Tearle's Shakespearian COM
pany, and during the following
decade played the low comedy parts,
not only with Tearle, but with MS
co, sin, Edmund, and with the veteran
lie man Vein, then in his seventeen
yea. on his golden jubilee tour.
After this, in 1895, Mr.. Borlaad
made his first appearance in London
at Tcrry's Theatre with Kate Vaughan
in a round Of English comedies, and
later played IN support Of Arthur
Roberts, one Of London's favorites,
who could never be induced to make
an American tour,
], was while with Roberts, by the
way. that Borland played his first
Scotch role in a play called DANDY
Dan, the Life Guardsman"; but as Mr..
Borlrnd is so Enthusiastically Scot, OIL
the stage as well as on, he must have
given a Gaelic flavor to his previous
parts as well Hence, probably, the
story that when he once assumed an
Irish role in a Boucicault play the
manager remarked that he might just

Coming to America in 1911, Ms. Bor-
land made his debut at the Plymouth
Theatre, Boston. with George Mac
Farlsne in The Heart o. the Heather"
and 1t was his work in that play that
attracted Sam FORESTS attention and
resulted in his present place in "A
Tsilor-Msde Man"
Perhaps the best tribute to the nat
uralness of Mr.. Borlands art came
one night recently, when he ap-
preached one Of the stage hands and
displayed the trade union button given
him when he was made an honorary
member Of the Amalgsmsted Garment
Workers Of America.
"Now what do you think Of that"
queried Borlsnd.

the question, replied: ooh, you're not

CROP
VALUES TRIPLED
WITHIN z a

Montana crop values have in
creased from $31, COG, 900 i'm
1900, to $94, 936, 900 i'm 1916, ac-
cording to a report submitted by
Seth Maxwell, commissioner of
agriculture and publicity, to
Governor S. V. Stewart, which
shows comparative figures for
the last seven years in Montana,
marking a great agricultural
growth and an enormous influx
of settlers to Montana.
Mr.. Maxwell reports that since
1909 there have been 10000
original homestead entries in
Montana, which included 49,
2S9,OO7 acres of land. During
the fiscal year ending June
80, 1916, 14,486 original home
stead entries were made, en-
bracing 3,31S,45O acres. There
yet remains i'm Montana 18,649,-
727 acres of unappropriated and
u~nreserved public land, at least
half of which, it is conservative
ly estimated, will be ultimately
farmed.
Montana's wheat value has in
creased fivefold in seven years,
from $9,364,0OO in 1909, to
$46,134,55O in 1916. As fig
ures will show, corn values have
increased elevenfold, oats and
barley have nearly been doubled,
rye has been increased fourfold,
flax threefOld, potatoes more
than doubled, while hay has
shown a large increase in value.
The same comparisons hold vir-
tually true in production, while
the acreage in all grains has
been greatly increased.

By Patrick Il. Burke.

In writing this story of develop
ment in northern Montana the writer
deals almost entirely with Sheridan
and Valley counties, or more clearly,
the old Valley county before Sheri-
dan was created. 1t is well also for
the reader to keep in mind that these
two counties extend something like
100 miles in length from the Dakota
border westward, and from the Cana
dian border to the Missouri river, a
distance of about rs miles, a verit-
able empire in themselves.
Six years ago there were no branch
railroads in northern Montana. The
only railway facility was the main
line of the Great Northern, which
parallels the Canadian border about
rs miles to the south. Settlers liv-
ing north of this railroad did all of
their freighting from towns along
this line. A trip to the railroad once
a year, or twice at the most, was the
extent of their trading during the
year. b country was settled some
what by large r%anchers, and vast
herds of cattle and sheep roamed the
plains with not even the sight of a
fence to change their course.
Days of Wild and Free Life.
These were the cowboy days in
northern Montana, and old timers
tell us today of the wild and free
life these people lived. They were
the days of riders and bucking bron-
chos, horse and cattle stealing,
changing of brands and other depre-
dations, and virtually no law to in
terfere. True enough, there was law,
but it reached these people on
this wild frontier. A traveller in
those days might start in at Mondak,
the southeastern corner of the pres
ent county of Sheridan, located on
the Montana-Dakota border, and zig
gag his way between the Missouri ri
yer and the Canadian border, clear to
Havre, a distance of about 800 miles,
and he would find nothing but stock
ranches, and these were few and far
between.
Today a change, as though by ma
gic, is seen. This territory just .des-
cribed, is settled by the homesteader.
Every available foot has been taken
ny Lu6 mdH lTOm IH6 east, the LllleT
of the soil. The homesteader has
come and the cowboy has gone.
Grain Fields Displace Range.
Where a few years ago there was
nothing but buffalo grass and swarm
ing herds of cattle, today there are
growing fields of grain, white houses
and red barns, windmills, fences, fine
roads, towns, elevators and, best of
all, the iron horse-the railroad. To
illustrate the extent of this develop
ment it is but necessary to state that
at Scobey, the home of the writer,
close to 100000 bushels of grain
were marketed in 1915. Almost three
million dollars was paid for this
grain.
The first railroad building was
done in northern Montana in 1910
when the Great Northern constructed
a branch from Bainville to Plenty
wood. Bainville is on the main line
of the Great Northern about 80 miles
west of the Dakota border. This
branch extended northwest to Plenty
wood, a distance of about So miles.
brentwood was then a country post
office. With the advent of the rail-
road, however, business men came

Preparatory to becoming one
of the worlds bankers the fed
eral reserve board is making ar
rangements for such institutions
as the banks enumerated above
to become the correspondents of
the federal reserve bank. One
of the results of the war will
be the coming of all countries to
the United States to borrow
money.
If there is any commercial
war after the war, it is not
probable that the nation which
is doing most of the loaning will
suffer. The fat man financially
in any community is the banker,
and what is true of a community
is true of nations.
And Montana is producing
wealth per capita than any
other state in the union.

Great Northern's business in north
ern Montana with this new line, so
the Great Northern shifted their
plans over night and built west from
brentwood to the Scobey country.
That is why the Scobey branch runs
through such rough country and why
the Great Northern trains on this
branch have to climb a thousand f, ct
In 10 miles. This is what is known
as the Redstone hill, between Red
stone and Flaxville.
Fifty Buildings Started at Once.
When the Great Northern built to
Scobey that town was nothing more
than brentwood al at the time 1t
was penetrated with the steel rails.
but from the time the construction
was commenced Scobey started to
boom, and perhaps the most phen-
omenal growth ever witnessed in a
new town in the northwest has been
seen here. The town sprung I'D as if
by magic. Over SO buildings started
up at once. People of all occupations
and from all walks of life came to
ScoDey. In less than six months
there were five hotels, five livery
barns, two banks, eight hardware
stores, and a dozen and one other
business institutions. There had been
one saloon but the county commits
sloners Immediately granted a license
Tor a second. Four elevators with a
combined capacity of 1880 bushels
or grain were built. One of these
burned down and the company imme-
d1ately built another with a greater
capacity. Eleven track buyers came
in for the crop of 1914. Grain came
from as far west as the Opheim coun-
try, so miles west, and from as far
north, and about rs miles on the
south. The Canadian grain is a big
item in Scobey. Uncle Sam keeps
three customs officials here to col
lect ten cents a bushel duty. Today
Scobey has about 1900 people and is
putting in a $4,000 water and sew
er system. Such has been the phen-
omenal growth of one town in north
ern Montana, and where four years
ago not a living thing could be seen
or heard.
Election Figures Show Growth.
About 10000 votes were cast in
Sheridan and Valley counties at the
recent election. At Scobey there we're
515 votes cast, although there was
a registration list of close to a thou
sand. Eight years ago there were
seven votes cast in this precinct.
There is a large arr. Of state land
located just west of Scobey that is be-
ing leased and sold as fast as pros
pectlve leasers and buyers apply for
it. There are still thousands of acres
of this land to be leased. A wealthy
Chicago physician came here in
1915 and leased three sections of this
land. He sold his flax in Scobey re-
Gently and states that he has already
cleared $4,000 on the deal.
Now the Scobey people are going
to start a campaign to create a new
county out of part of Sheridan and
part of Valley, with the ultimate OBJ
ject of making Scobey a county seat
town. This idea looks feasible and
it will probably materialize this
year. The necessary valuation has
been reached. The Great Northern is
going to build another feeder the
coming summer from Poplar to OPP
helm. This line of railway will open
up one of the finest farming sections
in the west. Poplar is so miles south
of Scobey and Opheim is so miles
west Of Scobey.
