STATE RECEIVES PATENT TO
TWO MILLION DOLLAR TRACT
1926 Acres in Glasgow Landofficc
District invoived.-Vaiued
at 500 Per Acre

Helena.-What ranks as probably
the biggest land deal ever. closed in
Montana, in both the acreage and
amount of money represented. was
closed last week when the state of
Montana received from the United
States a patent to 97,216.23 acres in the
Glasgow land district. This land will
average in value in excess of $50 an
acre, making the total value upwards
of two million dollars.
Most of the acreage lies in what is
commonly known as the state reserve
near Scobey, in the northern part of
Valley county, which was selected by
the state in 1914 and 1915. Since the
supreme court of the United States
upheld the right of the states to take
lands in lieu of those relinquished
within the boundaries of forest re-
serves, the interior department has
speeded up issuing of patents and
several patents for large blocks of
land have been received in the last
few months by the state, but the pat
emit just received is said to be the
largest in the history of the state
office.
Much of this land has already been
leased by the state, but as it now
holds title, it will be in a position to
dispose of it at public auction.

SLEPT LATE THAT MORNING
Traveller in Sleeping Car Had His
Own Reasons for Not Wanting

A certain well-knOwn local artist

He had lower berth, and when he re-
tired he noted that there was nobody
In the berth above him.
The evening was chilly and our friend
soon perceived the need of another
blanket. He thought of the berth
above, reached his hand up and pulled
a blanket down. 1t came hard, but he
got it and in few minutes he was
comfortably asleep. But not before he
had wondered what made the blanket
so nice and warm around the neck.
There's no use in trying to work up
to climax in this yarn. The man
from whose sleeping form that blanket
had been dragged awoke with loud
complaints later in the night. And his
words were so violent that our artist
friend feared to get up in the morn
ing. until all but him had fled, as the
old song hath it.-Exchange.
