task of retaining tens of millions OF
acres of Montana soil to the higher
and more beneficial use of agricul-
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 and
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 stockmen. Inevitably, there
have been not few casualties among
those who have thus 80 courageously
assaulted the forbidding barriers of
grim nature. Some have fallen
while CALAMITY 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. 1t 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 a 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.

STATEMENT REGARDING
THE SUNBURST REFINERY

Referring to the item appearing recently
in a Great Falls newspaper: 1t is regretta-
BILE that anyone claiming to represent the
AFRO Refining Company should attempt to
create the inference that the Sunburst Re-
filming Company was improperly circulating
any statements with respect to its organi-
cation, or should lack the courtesy to ex-
plain, If they know the circumstances
which we have ample reason to believe they
do, that no fault lay with this company
or any one in Its official organization in
connection with filling the SUPPLEMENTARY
of the Companys plant at Great Falls.
We desire that you publish proper state
ment which we think you will find justi-
fled by the supporting copies of kilograms,
etc, attached, though much OF the nego-
tiations and conclusive evidence of Mr..
Parker's intention and desire to join our
organization was of verbal nature, and
therefore only supportable by personal
statement, Reporters from the local news
papers talked with Mr.. Parker and had
statements from him that would bear out
the statement Of his intentions, and / wish
to state on our part that he absolutely
our one small piece of advertising matter,
and so far as we know was fully aware of
the statements published in the newspapers
and concurred therein.
1t is simply a case, which we frankly
must admit, of misplaced confidence on
our part; and we feel 1t is better to be
Tilted at the church than later. Mr.. Parker
has made no satisfactory explanation of his
conduct to u.s. which common courtesy
would seem to prompt, though it is imma
terial now as far as we are concerned
We have other equally competent appli-
cants for the job, and when we have assur-
ed ourselves as to selection, most COM
petent man will be given the position
meantime, there will be no delay whatso-
ever in our work. We are, in no way,
crippled by Mr. Parker's defections as we
have quite competent structural engineers
in our organization, and there is plenty of
time, even if 1t takes a few weeks to secure
the services of a superintendent to have
charge Of the operation of the plant.

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 we're no mar
kets where ready cash might be OBJ
tanned for the products of their toll;
there we're farming methods applica-
BILE to the particular character of soil
comprising their farm to be discov-
cred by the long process of exper-
fence 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 were invad-
ed and conquered by the men with
the pillow after which another genera
ton carried the ceaseIess encroach-
ment upon the last barriers of rug
ged nature into the Dakotas, Colo
RADIO, 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 az
riculture and even today the conquest
is not altogether contaminated. 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.

WALTER HILL IMPORTS FINE
SCOTCH HIGHLAND LIVESTOCK

The herd of thoroughbred High
land cattle, valued at $25, 1000, pur-
chased by Walter Hill, son of the late
j, ]. Hill, last fall in Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, for his 10,000-acre ranch
on Cost mountain, near Wilsall, has
arrived there. The herd is composed
of three bulls and 80 heifers. They
are short-legged animals with hair
about IL inches long and are primar-
lily beef cattle. This is the first ship
ment Of the Scotch Highland cattle
brought into this country, and it is
said that they are the hardest cattle
in the world. Hill believes that the
climate of Montana will be particul-
arly adapted to the raising of this
breed. The herd will be the NUCLEUS
of large herd, and the increase will
be registered in the first herd book
of Highlands in this country.
A. w Rose, of Lawrence Kirk,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was in
charge Of the herd, accompanied by
Norman Mcleod and Jim Chisholm,
two Highland boys of Inverness. The
two boys expect to remain in the en-
ploy OF Mr.. Hill to look after this
ifGTd at his Goat mountain ranch.
The herd left Glasgow on Decem-
Der Is aboard the Donaldson freight
er, LakOnia, and Mr.. Ross says that
1t was very hard trip, the ship
having encountered bad storms on the
voyage across the ocean as well as
severe weather from
Baltimore to Livingston, but the herd
arrived there in fine shape.

Miles CITY may secure sugar fac
tory. which will add another consid
cradle industry and aid in the devel
opment and growth OF population II
the territory. The Holly Sugar cor
poration may come into the field witt
a factory, and negotiations have beer
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 lrri-
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 a tremendously large ter
ritory, the development of which
will be a natural result. This
might induce the Holly corporation
to establish sugar factory here.
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 a
ready market for pulp and beet top
pasture during the fall months.
Sugar beets are certain crop here,
Il all 90 c
to the farmers, and a factory en-
pIoys many workmen and is a per-
manent industry, once establish
ed"
The success or failure of a sugar
factory depends upon several condl-
lions. 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, favors 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 flied for beets by
the factory remunerates the farmers
on a satisfactory basis, the success OF
the farms and mandatory 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 would
have to be used there that is prev
alent throughout the sugar-growing
areas of the west.

HASKELL INTERESTS
BACK OF NEW ROAD
WYOMING MONTANA RAILROAD
WILL RUN FROM SALT CREEK
TO MILES CITY
Governor Haskell and His Associates
willing to Expend $15, 900, 900;
Ask Section Benefited to Stand
One-Tenth Cost.

Now that the definite proposal In
regard to the building of railroad
from the Salt Creek 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 sum of approximately $751;
100000 for the cost of construction.
Their proposal includes 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 REIN
burse them to the extent of 10 per
cent of the total cost
Raise 81, 5000 900
This means, as it is understood,
that Miles City, Sheridan and Casper
and the intervening locations will be
asked to raise a million and a half
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,
900 as 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 a strenu-
Gus bid for the location in spite of
the fact, as previously announced, the
road would be 81 miles longer and
would cost s1,500,000 in addition,
and appears to be willing to make
the necessary sacrifices to cover at
least 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
it is expected. will be
very soon.

HOW ANACONDA MAN MAKES
HANDSOME POULTRY PROFIT

How one man with small poultry
farm near Anaconda made profit
in a few months which would have
been a handsome income for year
is related in the Montana Develop
ment association bulletin just pub
lished.
The bulletin tells how H. s. Crosby
of Anaconda during the dull winter
months netted profit of from $40
to $25 per day from his poultry
which he keeps on a small plot OF
ground which he has leased. Last
spring he purchased 1900 White Leg
horn baby chicks. AS his cockerels
grew large enough for market he sold
them as fryers at from so cents to
so cents per pound. AS fryers at this
price they netted him more than they
would have If he had kept them I'M
til fall when they would have been
larger and would have brought a
much lower price.
After disposing of his eockerels he
had 700 pullets left. He completed
a house 20 feet by loo feet by Octo-
Der ] and the first day after his pull
let's were moved into 1t they laid 129
eggs. BY November ] they had in
creased this to 400 eggs per day and
through the months of November and
December they laid an average Of
from $50 to 460 eggs per day. Dur
ing these two months he received an
average price of 75 cents per dozen
for his eggs. His feed averaged six
dollars daily.
Mr.. Crosby is no wizard, but he
made it a point to get acquainted
with Biddy and her requirements. He
is well satisfied with his first venture
in poultry raising and has ordered
1000 baby chicks for delivery in the
spring.

DISPUTED CABLEGRAMS
 MUST BE PRODUCED NOW
No Decision, However, As To Whether Grand Jury Will Be Given Con-
 tents of Ward Messages

White Plains, N. r., June 29.-Su- preme Court Justice Warner today an- nounced his decision that the contest ed cablegrams that passed between George S. Ward, president of the Ward Baking Co., and his son. Ralph, relative to the blackmail plot for which Walter S. Ward claims caused his staying in self defense of Clar- ence Peters, should be presented to the extraordinary grand jury investi- gating the staying.
 Justice Wagner's decision. however. did not pass upon the question of whether the messages might be plac- ed in evidence before the grand jury merely directing that the Western Union and Commercial Cable Co. pro- duce their copies in the grand jury room.
 Justice Wagner said he could find no precedent in law authorizing court to decide in advance that wit ness might or might not be within his rights in refusing to produce before grand jury subpoenaed records. Once a witness has appeared and refused to yield documents subpoenaed, or once he has refused to appear at all. however, the court pointed out, the court would be in a position to con- pei production of evidence or sustain the witness in his refusal to testify
 Final decision on the question whether the cablegrams are admissi- be as evidence now will be sought by a test" refusal of the cable com panies to permit inspection by the grand jury of the messages, it was indicated.
