MONTANA LAND
DEMAND LIKELY
Good Crop Promise Will Renew Influx
of Settlers, Believes f. c.
Leedy.

Crop conditions throughout the
northwest are better this year than
they have been for a long time and
indications are that numerous people
will seek to establish themselves in
Montana and other western states in
the coming year.. E. c. Leedy, general
agricultural development agent of the
Great Northern with headquarters in
St. Paul, was in Great Falls Thursday.
He is looking over the crop conditions
throughout the western territory and
was greatly impressed with the out
look for a good crop this year.
Crop Prospect Never Better.
Things have never looked BETTER"
stated Mr.. Leady. minnesota, North
Dakota and Montana look wonderful
and it is safe to say that they have
not looked so good for years. Farm
ers of Montana must be given credit
for suffering the failure they have
experienced In past years but it looks
as though they will get their reward
this year. Coming through northern
Montana the prospects seem to be the
best. Around Coteau they are as
good as they could be and the same
is true of the n%eighboring districts.
Numerous inquiries have been, re-
ceived at st. Paul regarding the con-
ditions in Montana and it appears that
there will be a large immigration to
the Montana districts within a very
short time. The farmers throughout
the middle west, both land owners and
renters, have come to the conclusion
that there is nothing in trying to ham
| do h1pI ,,,,al f,rn, ..l ,rEn, tL>~-
is a prospect of cheaper farming land
in other places. Indications are that
there will be a movement to the cheap
er farming territories afforded in the
west and the majority of u inquiries
ask about the prospects in Montana
Inquiries as to Oil.
The purpose of our trip is to give
the travelling agricultural develop
ment agents an inspiration in their
work, and | am sure that we have
found it in this trip. We could not
have picked a better time, and inquir-
les regarding Montana land and farm
ing prospects will be easy to answer"
Many inquiries are received, asking
OF oil conditions throughout Montana,
according to Mr.. Leedy, but the prime
object of their trip through the west
is to inspect the farming conditions.
Their purpose in viewing the oil con
ditions is the acquaint the many who
inquire with the real situation.
In the party with Mr.. Leedy were
the following travelling agricultural
development agents: w. S. Weber,
Chicago; c. c. Morrison, Des Moines;
William Blonder, st. Paul; Charles d..
Greenfield, Helena, and O. d. Tibbetts
of Sioux Falls. They left Great Falls
this friday morning, with the in
tention of visiting the Judith Basin
district, expecting to go to Lewis
town and Winnett. They will return
to Great Falls the first of next week.

HARRY B.. TYSON
IS APPRECIATED
Wolf Point Herald Says that Towns
Loss is Gain for Glasgow
and ST. r."

When Harry B. Tyson decided to
move his family to Glasgow and make
that city his place of residence, Wolf
Point suffered a loss of no small pro-
portion. Mr.. Tyson recently accept
ed the position of field secretary of
the western division of the Theodore
Roosevelt International Highway, sue
ceeding l.. E. Jones who is now Sec
reary of the Great Falls Chamber of
Commerce. The headquarters of the
western division is established at Glas-
gov and MI. Tyson made the move
to have his family where he could have
more time at home.
Mr.. Tyson and his estimable wife
have resided in this city four years
and" have earned a place in the es-
teen of the general public and a hold
on the affections of their wide circle
of friends that is seldom gained in
so short a time. The debt the COM
munity owes to Mr.. Tyson is not easy
to express or even appreciate, being
made up of those innumerable intang-
ible things that grow out of broad
public sp%iritedness and constant self
sacrificing service.
AS leader of the Commercial club,
for more than two years he was the
chief dependence of the club and at
times the force that kept it going.
His address, temperament and will
lngness to service, coupled with his
experience in publicity and organiza-
ton work are such as are found COM
bined in but few men. An infant pro-
ject of such vast prospects as the
Roosevelt Highway has an important
asset in Mr.. Tyson AS the virtual
head of the division of this great en-
terprise he will be working for all
communities in common so our loss
is by 10 means total.
So the old maximum that our loss
is the gain of others describes the
situation. What Wolf Point has lost
Glasgow and other towns gain. And
it is gratifying to know that Glasgow
is of the type Of public spirited city
that will appreciate it's good fortune.

VALUE OF PUREBREDS
CONSPICUOUS

The value of purebred LIVESTOCK.
say specialists in the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture is most noticeable in those
cases in which the capability of
the animals is measured most di-
rectly. Among farm animals the
the best illustration can be found
in dairy cattle, though careful
yearly tests of milk and b~utterfat
production are relatively recent
affairs. The enormous differences
among dairy cows when given the
same opportunity have been
brought out clearly in a great
number of eases, and these dif-
ferences r strongly inherited
through both the sire and the dam.
The average production for pure
breds and grades is much above
the average of all milk cows,
which is about 1000 pounds Of
milk and 100 pounds of b~utterfat
annually.

PRICES DECLINING BUT
INDUSTRY INACTIVE

Helena, June 15.-Retail prices of
food and clothing in Montana are on
the decline, according to a majority of
the reports from half a dozen Mon
tana cities to the Department of Agri-
culture, labor & Industry. The reports
were received from labor unions, divis-
ions of the Associated Industries and
employers, in response to a request
from the Department of Agriculture,
Labor and Industry for the coopera-
ton of employers and employees for
data upon which it is hoped to issue
a monthly statement showing general
business and industrial conditions in
the state. 1t is the hope of the de-
partment that more replies will be re-
ceived from questionnaires sent out
in the future than were received the
first month.
There have been no declines in the
price of fuel, and in most cities no
decline in rent.
Both employers and employees of
Livingston report general business i'm
proving, and it is estimated as 20 per
cent better than a year ago. There
is a widening demand there for labor
in the building trades. Both employers
and employees agree there has been a
decrease in the price of groceries, meat
and clothing. The report from the en-
ployers estimate rents have declined
10 per cent a year ago. The union re-
ports rent has increased.
The report from Butte states only
5000 miners of the force of 10000
normally employed is at work, and
that there is no chance of the industry
starting again on a normal basis I'M
til October. Both employers and nm
ployes agree groceries and clothing
have declined. Employees report fuel
and rent are unchanged, but the re-
port from the employers states rents
have declined II per cent, while there
has been an increase in the better
grades of coal. Employers report bust
ness is stationary in Butte with the
labor demand widening on road work
and declining for clerks and office help.
Employees report business is declining
and the labor demand is not widening
in any lines. Four job printing es-
Establishments are tied up and 20 men
are not working because of the diff

business is stationary and that retail
prices of food and clothing have de-
clined. The price of fuel has increas-
ed there compared with a year ago,
according to the employers. One union
reports rent has also increased. The
employers report the labor demand is
widening in smelter work, while en-
pleyes report the demand is better
for farm labor. Report that labor de-
mand in the building trades is declin-
ing. From 125 to $50 transfers and
laborers in Great Falls are idle as a
result of a reduction of wages of 20
per cent there the first of June.
Havre reports general business i'm
proving with a broadening labor de-
mand in road work and building. The
most pronounced reductions in COM
modify prices are in clothing and gro
ceries.
