This has been accomplished in
spite of handicaps that would
have discouraged many others.
A trip through the valley
and a visit to the homes of the
new settlers will convince even
the most skeptical that
through colonization, properly
planned and managed, lies the
road to permanent prosperity
in Montana.

May, George w. Lincoln, i'm

Northern railway, visited

will admit, is pretty late to
start in to break ground for
the years crops, but the Nor
mons were undaunted by their
handicap and industriously
plowed up as much as they
were sure they could plant be-
fore too late in the season.
Much of this was put into po-
tatoes, a good bit into wheat
and some into flax. Ar
engagements were made with a
Chicago firm before it was
planted to market the potato
crop for so cents a hundred.
The Mormons use a differ
ent method of irrigation than
do most Montana farmers.
They believe that their new
farms are naturally sub-irri-
gated and that it is not neces-
saray to flood their corps. In
irrigating their potatoes they
do not let any of the water get
onto the plants. In comment
ing upon the difference be-
tween irrigation in Idaho and
in Montana, one of them said:

him that in Idaho there were
a number of families of farm

climatic and economic condi-

tablish themselves in a new
section on cheaper land where
they would have an opportuni-

under more favorable condi-

The recent years of drouth
which brought disaster to so
many wheat ranchers and
stockmen have done more than
verbal argument could have
done to convince these men
that it is no longer profitable
to attempt to farm large in
dividual holdings in Montana.
They are beginning to see
that a capable farmer can get
more from an intensively
titled area of 80 acres than
large ranchers get from an
area three or four times that
size.
SO it did not take Mr.. Ban
croft more than a few hours
to obtain options on eight
small tracts from five own
ers of large ranches in the
valley. A reasonably low
price was set on the land, it
being understood that the plac-
ing of these particular fami-
lies was an experiment, the
success of which would re-
suit in the settlement of the
valley with small farmers.

to finance their preliminary
operations upon their new
farms.
Five thousand dollars was
borrowed from the First Ma
tional bank of Great Falls,
business men of Cascade and
Great Falls guaranteeing the
payment of the sum for the
settlers. The immigrants
brought their horses, house
hold goods and some farm ma
chinery with them from
Idaho.
The Cascade Milling & Ele-
vator company, Cascade Mer-
camille company, and the
First National bank, all T. C..
Power institutions at Cascade,
and Sam Stephenson of Great
Falls guaranteed $4,000 of the
sum. Among the other guar
antors are Principal Scherf,

EAST SITE SELECTED
AT SCHOOL MEETING

1t has been long time since any
event in Viroqua has evoked quite so
much interest as did the locating of a
site for Viroqua's new high school
building. The presence of 329 voters
at the special meeting Monday even
ing was indicative of the interest
which the call for the meeting had
aroused. 1t was the largest school
meeting ever held in the city, we are
informed.
H. P. Proctor, ST., was selected as
chairman of the meeting, and presid-
ed in his usual quaint and impartial
manner. G. +. Dahl, clerk of the
board, acted as clerk.
Five sites were proposed-the block
just east of the present school block
also to the south and west of the
same, the east half of the block on
Main street west of the Standard Oil
filling station, and the property near
the park, north o. the Christian
church. As was proper, the discus
sion simmered down to the two best
sites--the block east of the school
grounds, and the location near the
park. The debate was very spirited
and embracing, lasting two full hours,
during which time all of the points
pro and con were brought out so that
all present could arrive at decision
with all the facts in their possession.
One ballot was taken in writing, the
vote standing: East site 1871, Park
site 1872, three votes scattering. Fol-
lowing this it was unanimously voted
not to wreck the old brick school build
ing, as had been proposed
Whtla fborn ie M n.1a~fS0t1 that hot u
locations have good points in their fa-
vor, yet the preponderence of argu-
ment was plainly in favor of the east
site, and the Censor is in accord with
the majority of the voters present
who believed the eastern location to
be the better of the two. We do not
believe that Viroqua is large enough
to made decentralization of our schools
either desirable or practical. We hap
pen to know of two cities-Portage
and Austin-both twice or three times
larger than Viroqua, and both have
abandoned their scattered school build
ings and all of their school structures
are now located in one group. The
selection of the Park site would also
have involved the abandonment of the
city hitehing ground, and that place

friends until all the country roads are
paved. That will not be for several
years, and until it does come the city
of Viroqua must maintain an ade-
quate hitching ground. We believe
the voters made wise choice, and
compliment them upon backing up
the Judgment of the school board,
which stood five to two in favor of the
site selected
Owing to the fact that the Censor
editor owns two lots of ground in the
eastern site, we refrained from MAX
ing any comment on the location mat
ter last week for fear that some might
feel our stand for the eastern site
was due to selfish motives, but now
that special meeting has decided the
matter we feel free to express our
views

His friends In Calhoun county saw
that he should be nominated and elect

he realizes our needs better than any

speaks our language. To substantiate
this, they point TO the fact that Sen.
Morton, as a member of the committee
which worked out the terms of the new

mental In seeing that the poorer coun-
ties were fairly treated. The proyis-
ion basing the amount of state roads

ton to receive more mileage of state
roads than many counties much more
