Belt Valley times. [volume] (Armington, Mont.) 1894-1977, 1923-06-21

1t is not violating confidence now if we say that the showers
of Thursday and Friday and the drenching rain of several days
the first of the week saved the day for the Belt Valley. The ex-
IRENE heat of a few days before, added to the high winds, had
sapped the moisture of the growing crops and though little was
said openly, yet there were few who did not recognize the pre-
carious condition of the crops. AS it is some alfalfa will have to
be cut soon and the crop will be short. Some wheat which was
stumbled in has been hurt but the major portion of the crop is
coming out of it better than any one dared to hope.
West of us on Thursday they had a fine shower. On Friday
Belt and the immediate vicinity had a heavy shower. Saturday
evening an old fashioned soaker started in with considerable hail
but there W no wind and the hail did no damage that we have
heard of. Accompanied with lightning the rain came down stead
lily. AT times the rain took on torrential proportions.
The storm came from the north so that all the territory north
of us came in for its share. Whiskey Flat, Highwood Greek, Little
Willow, Big Willow, Little Belt, Red Coulee and Wayne shared
equally in the moisture which is sufficient to carry winter wheat
well along toward a crop.
tented look than last week for already the fields where hay had
ceased growing because of the Unfortunately hot weather have
taken on a brilliant green which betokens a quick and succulent
growth. The hills have no longer that brownish tinge which
marks the drying up of the range and the grain crops are jump
ing. Something to be thankful for we are all ready to admit. r.
Fl. Bemis suggested that today would be a good time to sell prize
fight tickets to the farmers. Of course we are not out of the woods
yet and it is too early to crow but we are still in the ring with a
fair chance to win a bountiful crop. You may think that We editor
mixed his metaphors a little. Possibly we did but you have
grasped the fact that we are rejoicing over the prospects which
this splendid rain has opened before us.
Not everyone has been SO fortunate. In the northern part of
the state there are regions where it is the same old story of
drouth and misfortune. In order that you may realize how for
tunate we are in the Belt Valley, we are appending an excerpt
from a weekly on the highline dated June ID:
1.-THE fact is apparent that this years crop is lost, and with
it's loss, many, many of our old inhabitants will leave the country,
at least temporarily. In fact the exodus is on in full swing. This
condition is ~deplorable; but it is a condition, and we are facing it
as best we can.
"The Tribune has every hope of being able to weather through
the storm in the hope that Next Year" is the one for which we
have been waiting"

THE COAL SITUATION.

On the west side of the valley there is still coal in large guam
titles which is being taken out in a considerable tonnage by the
G. ". Merkle Coal company, but it is not of this coal that we wish
to speak.
For many years during our residence in Belt we have looked
at the East Side coal field and have wondered why such a large
and promising body of coal should be passed up by coal operators
This field extends from Arlington almost to Little Belt and en-
braces thousands of acres of proven COAL, yet while the big users
of coal have been purchasing coal lands all around us they have
nevep given the East Side any serious attention. The Cottonwood
Coal company purchased thousands of acres of coal along Sage
Creek where the quality of coal and the comparative expense of
mining compare not at all with the Belt field. The A. C. M. Co.
opened the Tracy mine and later purchased the coal rights along
Spring Greek and passed up the East Side. Why? We know of
no answer unless it is that Belt is ar established city and they
might fear the treatment they would get from this municipality.
Or maybe the difficulties of building a spur are insurmountabe.
We doubt this for we figure that the cost of sinking the shaft at
Lehigh would also construct the sidetrack to the East Side. 1t
might be that the owners of the coal rights demanded an outrage
GUS price for their holdings. We can not say. Others might think
that the quality of the coal on that side was inferior to that on the
West Side. Of that we do know and can speak. Most people think
that the East side coal without being cleaned is much superior to
the West Side coal in the same condition. Cleaned they are much
the same but this is the point we wish to make-there is less dirt
In the East Side coal than there is in the west side coal. There is
less bone, there is a higher vein and the amount of sulphur is al
most negligible.
ings where the coal can be seen from Mat Richardson's at Aiming
ton to the Wilson mine north of town. There are several places
where extensive workings might be opened and from which the
whole field might be worked with dumping ground sufficient to
last many years.
Why has this field been disregarded? Again we answer that
we can not guess but we would suggest that the owners of the coal
rights get together and make some KIND OF an agreement among
themselves so that the coal might be sold in one huge block, then
some business might be done.
There is no single piece of ground which is Indispensable
consequently any owner who does not desire to be reasonable
should be disregarded in which case he will be blocked off from the
rest with the assurance that he will have to continue to nav the
taxes for many years.
No other solution of this matter seems possible. We know
that many of the owners desire to sell. The only possible way to
sell is to get the matter so arranged that the purchaser will get a
run for his money. If they do not do this they can keep the land
until the continued payment of taxes shall have eaten up profit
md principal too.
