rendered it endurable, if not en-
joyable. Pioneer women knew lit
tie save drudgery, and deprivation
of most of the comforts to which
they had been accustomed in the
older, and more civilized commu-
mites from which they came. They,
also, had excitement that took the
form of constant worry for the
lives of their husbands and chill
dren. A man was in hourly dan
ger when surrounded by thieves
and murderers and if a child fell
ill, good medical service could not
be procured. 1t is well there were
but few women in Bannack while

and other causes have been almost
negligible. All reports indicate that
there are sufficient amounts of feed
to carry stock in satisfactory condi-
tion. With the exception of the high
er regions where stockmen are pre-
pared to feed their bands straight
through the winter months, only
about one month of feeding has been
necessary. There are only few To-
calities where late spring would
bring about an exhaustion of the
available feed, while many sections
apparently have more than will be

A revival of the sheep industry
in Montana due to higher mar
ket resulting from big wool de-
mands and many forced sales of
last fall is certain, thinks G. A.
Mcintyre of Bozeman, promin-
ent sheep man of that place.
Ewes are selling at a good figure
now and the price will advance with
the season, he thinks. Others con-
cur in McIntyre's prediction, and
among them is Joseph Chievis, mana
ger of the Pacific Hide and Fur COM
pany.
Many of the larger ranchers sold
off much of the young stock last
fall but to offset this loss the small
er farmers who formerly depended
mainly upon wheat are now going
into sheep raising on small scale,
said Chievis. A week ago his firm
sold a heavy consignment to Bos-
ton house on which the net was so
cents pound.
Market Gaining Daily
"The wool market is now the best
of any of the raw Materials" said
Chievis. "There is a constant SELL
ing which has kept the market up
and it is daily gaining in strength"
Another reason Mcintyre looks
forward to a good year is the excel
lent weather conditions of the win
ter which has enabled sheep men to
carry their flocks through with a
minimum of loss and at the same
time keep them in good condition.
Ranchers have managed to care for
their bands much of the winter with
out much feeding, and as result
sheep and lambs are now rated as
ITO per cent of normal
The January figure as given by
George A. Scott, statistician of the
Montana Cooperative Crop Report
ng service, was 100. The figure a
rear ago was 100.

no and IL, according to decision
reached at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee held in Bozeman.
The postponement from the Ori-
ginaI dates had been OccasiOned
by the fact that NJ. L. Wilson,
chairman of the executive commit
tee, was called to Washington late
i'm December to counsel with other
northwestern agricultural leaders
on pending farm relief legislation.
Mr.. Wilson has returned to BOze-
man.
The meeting of the congress will
be held in the senate chamber in the
capitol. Responses received from
the various organizations indicate a
lively interest in the coming meeting
and it is hoped that out of it will
evolve sound economic program and
the mechanism that will effectively
function when the reaction comes
from the present trend of population
toward the industrial centers.
Subjects on Program
The general outline of subjects un-
der which discussion will be invited
at the congress include:
The economic position of agricul-
ture in general, and specifically as
related to farming, dairy develop
ment and preference for Montana
products.
Relation of the general situation
to land settlement.
Specific land settlement and values
in Montana; terms and conditions of
sale; methods of securing settlers.
Coordination of forces interested
in land settlement, advertising and
railroad immigration.
Under the basis of representation
decided upon for this meeting each
institution or organization invited to
participate will be allowed one vot-
ing delegate and not more than five
consulting delegates. The following
organizations have been invited to

While the above are mainly
wholesale prices, some knowledge
can be gained from it not alone of
the cost, but of the kind of pro
visions that could be bought in
Bannack during 1864. Of
fresh fruit there was none, and
canned fruits were not then on the
market in the east. Vegetables
were scarce. There was plenty of
beef, and game, deer, elk, moose,
antelope, and mountain sheep could
often be bought, yet none of this
would constitute a feast for a pros
pector returning to town. He, like
Henry Edgar, would look forward
to meal of ham and eggs, as the
heighth of luxury.
There may have been wells in
Bannack, but if so, I never saw
one. Our water supply for all pur-
poses, came from the neighboring
creek, and was none too pure.

He certainly had done we'll for a

There was very little money in
circulation. When miner made
purchases he threw down on the
counter the stout buckskin purse
that held his gold dust, and the
merchant weighed out the amount
due him, and quite frequently more,
for he had every opportunity to
cheat, if he so desired. Gold was
then at a premium; but this was
not allowed the purchaser. If an
article was worth five dollars in
greenbacks, five dollars was paid
in gold.
Provisions, clothing, ETC., were

North Dakota citizens must pull

for the benefit of their state, NJ.

president, Northern Pacific Rail-
way, told the North Dakota Retail
Merchants here yesterday.
He urged daily half-dozen' for
North Dakotans as follows: Opti-
mism, Confidence, Enthusiasm, Com
mon Sense, Hard Work and Cooper
alton. Speaking on cooperation he
said:
Never was cooperation more es-
sential than now. All progress has
sprung from it. Cooperation has
displaced the prairie schooner by
the steel train; it has displaced the
canoe by the ocean liner; it has
displaced the scythe and the sickle
by the reaper and binder; it has dis
placed the town crier by the daily
newspaper. The Northwest has been
developed by cooperation and it's
future development depends upon
the same kind of team work. Bust

gained by attacking and destroying
railroads or any other vital indus
try. Farming, transportation, bust
ness, working together, create pros
perity and progress.
Under the head of cooperative
advertising, many suggestions may
be made. | would like to urge all
communities to issue, and have for
sale, attractive picture postal cards,
which tourists, visitors and home
people can mail out to the world
Today in North Dakota there are
very few mailing cards of this kind,
which do the state justice, which
really represent favorable publicity.
The mailing card situation is easy
to work out, with the help of your
local photographers, professional or
amateur, plus the application of a
state standard or uniformity of
design.
Mr.. Goodsill also proposed plans

ted to the Director of the Budget
yesterday. 1t is estimated that the
cost of administration alone during
the first year will total $l.l88,O00.
Approximately SS,0O0,00O will be
needed for cash payments.
General Hines stated that he ex-
pcctcd to utilize the present organi-
zation Of the Veterans Bureau in the
field to the fullest extent possible in
carrying out the provisions of the
Adjusted Compensation Act. He
advised all veterans to keep in touch
with their local postoffices and with
cx-scrvice organizations and news
papers in order that they might
learn exactly how to proceed in get
ting their claim taken care of. The
details Of procedure have not as yet

The appointment of Major Clark to
take charge of the new Service left

ION.

David Grew, author of number
of highly successful stories of the
Northwest, on his way to Northern
Canada is visiting with his sister,
Mrs. Ira c. Frendberg of Bismarck.
Mr.. Crews best known story Of the
Northwest, Beyond Rope and
Fence" is book which has had a
phenomenal success in England
France, and Holland as we'll as in
the United States and Canada. This
story of Wild Horse was universal
w hailed as another Call of the
Wild" In most Of the states of the
Union it has been accepted by the
state reading circles and in the cit
les of Boston and New York it has
just been accepted for the schools
as supplementary reader.
"The Two Coyotes" Mr.. Crews
second story of the Northwest has
just been published here and in Eu-
rope. This book like Beyond Rope
and Fence" is a story Of life on the
great prairies.
Mr.. Grew who was brought up on
the prairies of North Dakota loves
the West as it really is and has made
it his aim to tell about it truthfu]ly
so as to destroy the ludicrous con-
ception that the fasteners have ac-
quired of it by reading the sensa-
tional, blood and thunder stories that
have had such wide market in the
past. He says they think out East
that all through the West, Dakota
not excepted, men live by raising
cattle and stealing them from each
other, doing so with the ceascless ac-
compartment of war-likc gun fire.
