Farming In Montana is
Repeating History of
Other States Troubles

Any person who is dubious as to
whether Montana will stage a "come
back in farming only need study
the history of other western states
to have the point definitely resolved
in the affirmative. according to a
study made by the state department
Of agriculture. Practically all other
northwestern states have been thru
the same experience big influx of
settlers, followed sooner or later by
the abandonment of some of the area
settled upon and n period of pessi-
mism. Then a second influx of set
tiers who adopted diversified farming
and made good. Prosperity returned
and land values increased.
Answering an inquiry of the Mon
tana department of agriculture, Leo
Stuhr, secretary of the Nebraska de-
partment Of agriculture. writes.
that from 1891 to 1897 there was a
gradual removal Of people from the
western part of the state and some
places were practically depopulated
From 1897 on they began to come
back and from 1900 to present date
there has been a stead growth.
"The return Of farmers to this sec
ton of the state was undoubtedly
caused by improved financial condi-
tons as well as one or two good
crops produced by the farmers who
had remained This was sufficient +
evidence 70 convince others TO return +

When Nature stocked her coal
bins in the prehistoric cellars of
the Rockies, she planned that
Montanans, at least, should never
go cold. For the u. 8. Geological
Survey tells us that our natural
deposits amount to SOC, 600, 600, 900
tons.
If we mine only one per cent of
this, it will yield, at the present
rate of consumption. enough coal
10 last us a thousand years.
But coal mining as a Montana
industry did not begin until 1880,
when John Cashier drove his pick
into a murky outcropping at Belt,
in Cascade county. That year,
Cashier mired a total of 224 tons,
which he laboriously transported
90 miles over a rough trail by
mule team TO FIT, Benton, where
the 4Missear3- River steamboats,
took it on as a dubious successor
TO cottonwood and jackpine as
fuel
Today. coal mining in Montana
emrloves 1000 men, who earn
100000 a year in wages
roughly, 70G of an annual gross
business amounting to $4,000. 900
Naturally, the railroads were
the first to develop large-scale
coal mining. to secure fuel for To-
comotives The Northern Pacific
opened up the Carbon County
field in 1885, and still operates
large properties at Red Lodge and
Bear Greek. In 1887, the Great
Northern went into Cascade coun-
ty, where Sand Coulee, Stockett
and Belt continue 10 supply its
fuel requirements. The last 10 ar

rive Was the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, which opened mp the
Roundup field, in MusselsheIl
county, in 1907.
These three railroads, together
with the Anaconda Copper Min
ing Company, which operates
mines in Cascade and Carbon
counties, constitute THE Big
Four" in tbs industry. The coal
mined is semi bituminous and the
method used is the so called
room and pillar system.
Ninety-five per cent of the Mon
tana output is used within the
State. In addition, considerable
coal is imported. For example, in
1920, the railroads mined and used
within the State 1850, 900 tons
and the Anaconda Company AGO.
600 tons. The same year, 1000, 900
tons were imported from outside.
Montana banner year was
1917, when 4,14S miners dug from
the mines of the State and shipped
to destination 1925, 600 tons.
Every coal mine in the State
except a single inaccessible group,
is operated by electric power,
supplied by The Montana Power
Company Strange to say, the
mines actually find It cheaper to
use electrical energy bought from
this public utility at regular rates
than to use power generated at
the pit mouth by their own coal.
The coal producers of Montana
paid this Company in 1920, for
electric power, 500, 634.15.
Of this amount, $40, e2s. rs was
paid In State, County and City
taxes.
