Some people scott at the magni-
tude of predictions made for "a city
on the prairie" but others who have
watched the rapid growth since its
founding and who appreciate the
value of the natural resources of the.
territory contiguous to Great Falls
and such advantages as its geograph-
ic position relative to the great
northwest, base their comments on
wider plane and of equal scope.

That is the way the pioneers came,
but their means of earning living
were just as dubious as the course of
their westward journey. The lives of
some shine out as grand examples of
prosperity and success achieved
through one or more of the various
channels of industry; of wonderful
and extraordinary accomplishments
in the sphere of scientific research;
in the forum, or through the medium
of special qualities which leave a
marked impress upon the tablets of
memory and history both of which
will live forever Others did not per-
form such successful careers to pros
perity, some were unfortunate, but all
worked equally for himself and his
fellow comrade in such times of
stress. They did not emblazon their
deeds for personal satisfaction, or
from motives of ambition to commit
some act which would mark them for
a time as central figures. On the
contrary, the greater majority of
these home seekers were those who
were ever recognized as that splendid
type of manhood which the Creator
made it possible for all men to be.
In their presence one can feel that

1t is from stock such as this that
younger generations are able to pre-
serve the integrity and life of state.
Montana was settled by these hardy
frontiersmen who came here for sew
eral reasons. Primarily, they were
hunters and trappers who were in
spired by the legend of Lewis and |
CIark's travels which was issued in
book form by the government. These
came to different parts of the state,
of routes, for there were
no established routes other than the
rivers, and instead of settling down
in any one particular location, they
were accustomed to roam over the
country. The first white settler in
what is now known as the state of
Montana was man named Dixon.

cries. The men given the credit

Some day, not far distant, there
will be nobody to teach boys and
girls the language of these first
Americans. 1t is even now a rare
accomplishment and it seems too bad
that we have no way of preserving
it. The men who traded trinkets for
pelts, who braved the perils of the
wilderness and blazed the trails for
a wider civilization are fast passing
out.
There is an eloquence in the un-
spoken word that no vocal chord can
convey, subtle sense that the tongue
is not able to interpret. Perhaps it
is impractical to speak of perpetual
ing these primitive vehicles of com
munication, but at least, it would
serve to preserve much of the his
tory, as well as the traditions of prim-
tive America, picturesque and ro-
mantle phases of life that has dis
appeared, of race that, driven by
one of Natures memorable forces,
must soon vanish from the earth.

With few exceptions, says the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture, there Is enough feed wasted on
every farm in the country to make the
pork and pork products consumed on
that farm. The hog is more efficient
than other farm animals in making
use of the farm by-products. With
tho hen, the hog will select and utilize
the wholesome parts of unsound and
unmarketable grains, refuse from
truck crops, and by-products from the
dairy. This is one reason why hogs
are used on such large proportion
Of our farms But the hogs principal
article of diet is corn, and the Secre-
tary OF agriculture has remarked that
"our hog crop serves as 4 slow absorb
er for the variation in production of
our corn crop year by year, thus iron
ing out the irregularities in corn
prices"

SCATTERED THE BULLS

Grand Junction News
Delta one day this week lost six bulls
that were being shipped from the
Holly factory ut Delta to this city.
In some way the door broke open, and
one by one the bulls tumbled out.
Three fell out just above the tunnel
and two other just after the train had
pulled out of the tunnel, the sixth
one at another point. If they had
fallen out in the tunnel ther certainly
would have been bad wreck and lot

that he had struck any cattle Then
they looked for the car where the bulls
were and found il empty. Later five

"Ih" principal argument In fayor

the industry could rchabllitate itself

issued
The Department Of Agriculture
agrees with this argument, and, in
keeping with its policy to give Ill pos

du-try Of the country, It has been de-
cldcd to issue ten-ycar grazing pet
mits for the ranges within the Nation

1925.
These permits will be subject, of
course. to such provisions that will
amply safeguard the government in
securing surplus range at the end Of
five years for the admission of new
applicants or Increases of small

are cleaned daily and the yards are
kept reasonably clean. There Is no
necessity for keeping n rooster unless
the owner intends 10 hatch chicks. and
in that case the rooster should be dis

BARN PAINT

Country Gentleman
From the advertising boards We
are constantly advised to let the Gold
Dust Twins do our work. Apparently
this admonition extends also to the
painting of barns. At any rate a
foreign visitor passing by train thru
some of our best farming sections,
might well conclude that, except for
the patent medicine advertisements, "A
great many of our farm buildings
would never be painted at all.
Yet, if the barn is painted with
pink pellets, why not cataleptic cap
sules for the house? Or is there a
line beyond which a mans self re-
spect refuses to go? And if a
mans self esteem were large enough,
might not it include his barn, his to-
bacco shed and his piggery.
Who painted your barn?

RIOT WITNESS
MAY BE DYING

The states case against the three
alleged night riders. accused Of riot
following near-hanging and kidnap.

day, as j. r. Hale, one Of the chief
witnesses for the state, fought for
his life in a room of the Medford no.
tel. at Medford. near here.
Late yesterday. shortly before the
last Juror had been definitely seated.
Hale was attacked by hemorrhage
Of the stomach and was quickly put
under the care Of physicians. who
apparently despaired OF his life.
The state had admittedly depended
upon Hale TO bear the burden Of the
case in the witness box. Hale having
professed to have recognized several
members OF the night riders band
which kidnapped him. took him into
the hills near here last March. and
after hanging him and cutting him
down several times, ordered him to
leave the county He did so. but re-
turned for the trial
