Every Iowa county has its Farmers
Institute. Usually 1t is held in the
county seat and is a gathering of
farmers for the purpose Of listening
70 Improving discussions and addresses
both instructive and entertaining. The
Woodruff district was interested In
ehe institute, however, because OF the
iact that a rural-school exhibit was
one Of It's features that year and that
Colonel Woodruff had secured an
urgent invitation to the school to take
part In II.
Such exhibits are now so common
that II Is not worth while for us TO

class of children testing and weighing
milk. examining grains for yiability

MILES CITY DUE
FOR SPRING BOOM
MUCH INTEREST BEING MANI
TESTED THROUGHOUT STATE
IN OLD COW TOWN
Due to the Fact that it is to be the
Northern Terminus of the Haskell
Railroad Which is to be Built from
Casper.

Miles City is receiving a great dea
of publicity in all parts of the north.
west since announcement that thai
place is being favorably considered
as the northern terminus of the Mon
tana Railway company's proposed
line from the Salt Creek oil fields.
and every mail is bringing to the
chamber of commerce, business men
and others letters from all over the
state which request information re-
garding work, business opportunities
and other activities.
Travelling statesmen arriving in
Miles City report that the railroad
south and the good fortune of Miles
City are the two topics of CONVEX
satlon now being heard in hotel lob
b1es and on trains, and without ex-
ception they all incline to the belief
that this will be the greatest year in
the history of the former cow town,
which has been gradually developing
into greater business center and in
dustrial community.
That New Depot
The announcement made here be-
fore the chamber of commerce meet
ing by ]. E. Squirting, division freight
and passenger agent for the Northern
Pacific, that the long hoped for new
depot will actually be completed and
in use before the end of this year,
has also brought cheer to the city,
and above all others, to the old tim
ers who have for more than 20 years
believed that some time a new pas
senger station would be built which
would be credit to the new Miles
City, now embarking upon a new era.
During the hard times of 1919 tol
1921, Miles City, more than any
other town or city in Montana, per-
haps, felt the depression which fol-
lowed the disastrous winters and
lean summers, and on top of this
nearly million dollars was sub
scribed by local people, who showed
their faith in the state and its nat
ural resources by investing in lands, |
oil, and by making loans to farmers
and stockmen in an attempt to help
them back on their feet financially. |
Confidence Justified
Not only Miles City people, but the
farmers and stockmen themselves,
who, with the abiding faith of their
faced adversely and mis-
fortune with smale, certain in their
belief that things would come out
all right, are at last beginning to
the belief that that time
has now arrived and that during the
next few months this part of the state
will have completely recovered from
the adverse conditions which at one
time almost, but for the faith and
determination of it's people, spelled
the finish of this budding empire.
Now, with the surveyors in the
field, pushing their stakes further
south toward the Wyoming line daily,
and this end of the state eagerly
awaiting the arrival of those who are
expected to announce that the rail-
road will adopt Miles City as its nor
thern terminus, the city is aroused
as 1t has not been in years, and it is
with pardonable pride in the start

clusion of description of the va
riety of cowpunchers that abound
in Santa Barbara, and is contained
in letter to his friend, "Bill' E.
lott of Great Falls.
Captioned by a vivid drawing OF
a movie cow puncher, the letter
reads:
There's lots of punchers like
this one in this country Some diff
ferent from the kind you worked
with in the old days. This one
never slept where he could see the
stars. He can rope and ride, but he
never smelt burning cow hair and
hide in his life. He buys his sun
burn in a drugstore, sleeps on
springs, and his chuck wagon is a

"The horse he rides is top that
never smelled dust, heard a bell or
