task of reclaiming tens of millions OF
acres of Montana soil to the higher
and more beneficial use of agrlcul-
ture
1t is not given any one person TO
know a 1.-THE of the sacrifices which
have been made by these frontiers
men of our modern day, of the down.
right physical hardship which they
have endured, of the hopes deferred
or altogether blasted, of the heart-
aches suffered by lonely women anq
toil-bent men. Truly it has been an
epic struggle, comparative In every
element of romance and tragedy to
the adventures of the earlier argO-
nauts and stoekmen. Inevitably, there
have been not a few casualties among
those who have thus SO cOurageously
assaulted the forbidding barriers OF
grim nature. Some have fallen
while gallantly heading the vanguard
of attack, victims of conditions be-
yond human control; others have be-
come weary of the fight, and retreat
ed to positions prepared in advance
to nurse their wounds and reflect
upon their experiences. But the ma
jority of the warriors are still in the
line of battle, fighting courageously
and confidently.
Each year of the struggle has
taught them how to use more effect
lively the material at hand, how to
prepare the soil, to select the seed, to
preserve the moisture and to market
the product. It has been discovered
that nature was not so ungenerous
and forbidding as she at first SEEM
ed to be, that she did prepare here
a soil of exceptional richness and
durability, and climate for the
making of the finest grain and grass
than can be grown on the American
continent.
Victory is coming as surely as the
sun rises in the east for the farmer
frontiersmen of Montana. And in the
days to come, hundreds of thousands
of those who will study and under
stand how he toiled and sacrificed,
how he fought and won, will rise and
call him blessed.

There were millions of acres of
heavily timbered land to be cleared
for the plow; there ) were swamp
places to be drained; there were des-
tructive pests and predatory animals
to be combatted; there were no mar
kets where ready cash might be OBJ
tanned for the products of their toll;
there we're farming methods appllca-
BILE to the particular character of soil
comprising their farm to be discov-
cred by the long process of exper-
ience and failure; there were the
heartaches caused by weeks OF lone
someness in lands where neighbors
were few and far between; there was
the lack of almost every comfort and
advantage of civilized existence.
Then Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin we're invad-
ed and conquered by the men with
the plow after which another genera
ton carried the ceaseless encroach-
ment upon the last barriers of rug
ged nature into the Dakotas, Colo
rado, Montana and on toward the
setting sun until the Pacific was link
ed with the Atlantic by an army OF
twenty million American farmers.
Montana was almost the last sector
of the great American frontier to be
conquered by the frontiersmen of ag-
riculture and even today the conquest
is not altogether consummated. After
numerous accommodating operations
beginning in the sos and participated
in by outposts of the regular army
of American agriculture and result
ing in the occupation of many strate-
gic points up and down the many
marvellous valleys of Montana where
success was uniformly attained, the
main assault by tens of thousands of
embattled farmers upon the millions
of acres of level bench lands of Mon
tana was begun during the latter half
of the first decade of this century.

MONTANA WOMAN
PIONEER PASSES
HAD BEEN RESIDENT OF MON
TANA FOR NEARLY THREE
SCORE YEARS

Mrs. Mary Sharp, widow OF Col
onel Leander ]. Sharp and resident
of Montana for nearly three score
years, died at the home of her niece,
Mrs. Eugene Carroll, in Butte, last
week.
Born in Pittsburgh
Mrs. Sharp was born in Pittsburgh,
Pa, June IL, 1886. She was not
very old when she moved to Mis-
souri,. She met Colonel Sharp there
and they were married October FL,
1866. Because of the i'll health OF
Mr.. Sharp they left Missouri, going
to st. Louis, where they secured pas
sage on boat to Montana. After
a long, tedious trip up the Missouri,
they finally landed at Fort Benton,
where they secured team of mules
and covered wagon. They made
that their home for a number of
years. With the gradual improve
ment of Mr.. Sharp's health they set
tied at Deer Lodge, where he took
up the practice of law.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sharp later moved to
Butte, where partnership of Napton
and Sharp was formed with T. L..
Napton, Mrs. Carro1l's father. This
partnership was later dissolved and
Colonel and Mrs. Sharp moved to Salt
Lake. They remained there until
the death of Mr.. Napton, when they
returned to Montana, settling this
time in Missoula.
Returns to Butte
Colonel Sharn died in Missou1a in
1890, so Mrs. Sharp returned to Butte
to make her home. She had resided
in Butte ever since.

HASKELLINTERESTS'
BACK OF NEW ROAD
WYOMING MONTANA RAILROAD
WILL RUN FROM SALT CREEK
TO MILES CITY
Governor Haskell and His Associates
willing to Expend $4,000, 900;
Ask Section Benefited to Stand
One-Tenth Cost.

Now that the definite proposal in
regard to the building of railroad
from the Salt Greek oil fields in Wy
oming to some point north in south
eastern Montana to connect with the
transcontinental lines has been fully
presented, the question remains as to
definite route to be taken.
The Haskell interests which are be-
hind the railroad building project
have stated that they are ready to ex-
pend a sum of approximately $15,-
100000 for the cost of construction.
Their proposal includes a provision
that they will furnish all the money
to pay the entire cost and complete
the railroad and when so completed
will ask the people in the cities and
country directly benefited to reim-
burse them to the extent of 10 per
cent of the total cost.
Raise 81, 500, 900
This means, as it is understood,
that Miles City, Sheridan and Casper
and the intervening locations will be
asked to raise million and a half
approximately, this sum to be
equitably distributed and spread over
the territory.
So far as it has been possible to as
certain, the announcement of the def
mite proposals has met with favor
able comment. 1t is not expected
that the communities expecting to be
benefited would hesitate in bearing
their proportion of the burden i'm
posed.
With these facts settled and clear
ly;in mind, the people of Miles City
are proceeding with the solicitation
of pledges and have reached $780,
eco as a bonus offering, in which
will be included the 400 acres of
land lying in close proximity to the
city which the Haskell interests in
timated they would like to acquire
for terminal sites and for other uses.
Route Indefinite
However, no announcement is
made of the route to be taken. Sher-
idan, Wyoming, is making strenu-
GUS bid for the location in spite of
the fact, as previously announced, the
road would be 81 miles longer and
would cost $1,500,000 in addition,
and appears to be willing to make
the necessary sacrifices to cover at
least a part of the additional cost.
The concensus of opinion is that
the new railroad, work on which will
begin in June first with every detail
of survey and examination of land
and heavy cuts out of the way, will
be completed by the first of Septem-
Der. Furthermore, it is felt that the
cities which will be designated as the
principal locations will be Miles City
as the northern terminal and Casper
for the southern by way of Sheridan.
The enthusiasm shown for the new
railroad project increases daily and
the climax will have been reached
when the definite announcement is
made as to the route, which an
nouncement it is expected, will be
very soon.

SUGAR FACTORY
FOR MILEST0WN
THAT is THE LATEST DEVELOP
MENT OF THE HASKELL
RAILROAD PROJECT
Conditions There Said to be Ideal for
Growing Sugar Beets and Agent
of the Holly Sugar Corporation is
Looking Over the Ground.

Miles CITY may secure a sugar fac
tory. which will add another consid-
erable Industry and aid in the devel-
opment and growth of population in
the territory. The Holly Sugar cor
poration may come into the field Win
a factory, and negotiations have been
held with an agent OF the concern,
G. L. Ammon. The business men OF
Miles City and farmers and stock
growers in that area are hopeful that
the project will be established, since
conditions seem to indicate its as
sured success. A Miles City item
says:
"Mr. Ammon has met many land
owners of the Yellowstone and the
Tongue river valleys and has dis
cussed with them the probabilities
of encouraging farmers of irrl-
gated tracts to grow sugar beets.
He intimates that should the north
and south railroad be built from
Miles CITY to Salt Creek it would
open up tremendously large ter
ritory, the development of which
will be natural result. This
might induce the Holly corporation
to establish sugar factory mere
miles City is an important stra-
tegic point and its railroads offer
large distribution facilities. The
livestock industry here is another
large factor, offering as it does
ready market for pulp and, beet top
pasture during the fall months.
Sugar beets are certain crop here,
add richness to the soil, mean cash
to the farmers, and factory en-
pIoys many workmen and is per-
manent industry, once establish
ed"
The success or failure of sugar
factory depends upon several conal-
tions. The soil must be such that
it produces a beet with certain SUI
gar content. A market for the pulp
and tops, such as that afforded by
the livestock in the Miles City terri
tory. fayors the project. Shipping /
facilities of adequate, character are
needed. Miles City has those Local
and nearly demand for sugar some
times is an important feature. II
these requirements are met, and the
beet farms are sufficiently productive
so that the prices fixed for beets Dy
the factory remunerates the farmers
on a satisfactory basis, the success OF
the farms and manufactory are both
assured. -
The question of factory labor, how
ever. is also vital, and it probably
can be taken care of at Miles City
1t is likely that, if the sugar ranches
were started in the Miles City coun-
try, the same foreign labor Woula

Washington. - NeWspaperdOm in
Washington gets a blow to that pos
session which high-browed gentlemen
sometimes speak of as amour propre.
There was not newspaper correspond
ent in this town who had any thought
whatsoever that any man other than
Edward L. Clark was to be appointed
as secretary to the President.
1t follows just as thunder comes
after lightning, therefore, that there
was a distinct surprise and something
of chagrin, because no one had guessed
it, when the announcement was made
at the White House that former Repre-
sentative Campbell Bascom Slemp of
Virginia had been appointed secre-
tary to the President and had accepted
the office.
1t is, of course, impossible always to
analyze correctly the motives of men,
but the politicians in Washington, nOta-
bly, those members Of the two political
parties who are charged with the work
of directing campaigns, think that en-
ployment Of Mr.. Slemp means Presi-
dent Coolidge wants political adviser
as well as a private secretary and that
he wants one who was not raised in
the New England school and has not
been an active participant in political
dealings in any section Of the country
in which there are party troubles. OF
course there may be Republican trou-
bles in the place in Virginia from
which Mr.. Slemp comes, but they are
isolated and local. Campbell B. Slemp
knows the political situation in all
parts of the United States as they af.
feet the Republican party and it's aims
but from the beginning he has been
no party to the differences between
the factions, wherever they may have
had their being.

SEEKING KIND HUSBANDS
Young Women of Holland Understand
That Americans Treat Their
Wives Well.

Thirty-fve young women from Hol-
land stepped foot on American shores
the other day admitting they are
seeking kind husbands because they
heard that American men are good to
their wives" Some American wives
may be inclined to enjoy a silent laugh
over this innocence displayed by the
Hollanders, but after the first humOr-
GUS aspect of the situation has passed,
most of those who have enjoyed the
comedy will be einclined to believe
after all that there is much merit in
what these foreign women say about
the husbands of America, observes
the Bangor Commercial.
When one sits down and considers
the lot of women in many countries of
Europe, and reflects upon the limited
opportunities which they possess for
enjoying life, it ought to be a source
Of mutual satisfaction both to hus-
bands and wives in America that they
are living in a country where a higher
standard of marital relationship OBJ
tains than in many foreign nations.

Clark Is the Private Secretary.

Edward T. Clark will remain as
President Coolidge's personal private
secretary. There are some politicians
here who see in the dual arrangement
a condition necessary for the Presi-
dent, If he has further political ambi-
tions. Mr.. Clark knows all about the
party troubles in New England. He
was for years the secretary to Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge. New England is
likely to make Calvin Coolidge it's ia
vorite son candidate for the presidency.
Mr.. Clark will fit into the personal sec
retaryship situation admirably; or, at
least, so it would seem.
In the other and outer office, the
more public office, Mr.. Slemp will be
in evidence. He knows every member
of either house of congress. He knows
all the governors of states, Democratic
or Republican, and he knows probably
what they have been thinking about
politically for the last decade.
In other letters from Washington
something was said about former Pres
ident Harding'S Office aids. It was said
specifically that Mr.. Harding had a
public secretary and also what in the
most specific sense can be called prl-
vate secretary. One was George B.
Christian and the other Judson G. Wei

Coolidge may take a leaf out of the
book of his predecessor. If he tries
to carry out the Harding policies he
