Mr.. Edgerton says that after see
ing the Treasure state at first hand,
inspecting its grain fields and visiting
some of it's commercial institutions,
they hold an entirely different idea
of the resources and potential wealth
of the state, and will return home
with higher estimate of it than
they could ever have gained in any
other way.
The four, mounted on saddle
horses, with their camping outfit on
pack horses, hit into the heart of the
Rockies for genuine outing that
proved delightful.
Mr.. Edgerton says that on the
basis of present day values, it is not
difficult to show that an investment
in Montana diversified farm prom
ises fully as good or better returns
than an equal investment in a Wis
consin dairy farm. He has strong
faith that with the aid of the expert
ence recently gained by Montana
farmers they will rapidly reach
paying basis, that will bring pros
perity and new settlers.

Jack Heser Victim of
Threshing Accident.

Jack Heser, a we'll known South
side farmer, emerged from an excit-
ing accident that happened at the
Linder Hanks farm Monday, with a
badly broken leg. Threshing was in
progress and Mr.. Heser was driving
a bundle wagon. AS he drove his
loaded wagon to the separator past
the engine sparks set fire to the rear
of the load. Immediately there was
great commotion and just exactly
what happened and in what order no
one is able to say. Heser attempted
to jump from his load and in doing
so fell. The frightened team lunged
and drew the wagon over Heser's
leg and at about the same moment
broke loose from the wagon. Mem
bers of the crew mounted the load,
started to save part of it by pitch
ing off the bundles, piling them on
top of the unlucky driver with the
crushed leg, not knowing he was
there. 1t was with difficulty that he
could get attention to his plight The /
fire was extinguish.ed without great /
damage.
Mr.. Heser was brought to Wolf
Point in a car and placed in charge

ow the knee, one break being long

he was taken to the home of
lis sister, Mrs. F. H. Knabe of this
ity, where he is reported as doing
S well as possible considering the
erious nature of the injury.

And gaze aoft into the endless blue,

And nothing in the wide wide world to do.

These old togs let in the mountain air?
What recks it it, conducive to my peace
These ancient brogues busted here and there
What matter if the flivver tire is flat
While here beneath this canopy I lie.
With ne'er thought for pelf dthings like that,
And watch the eagle wheeling in the sky?
What I if there's fog upon the bay,
While mountain brooklets sparkle in the glen?
If ferryboats running late today?
don't if they at all, or when.
What matter if the faithful timepece fail,
Or bells send out their monitory chime?
Nothing to me, my friend! You cottontail

ERNEST P. WALKER
 ON WAY TO JUNEAU

Mir. and Mrs. E. P. Walker arriv- ed in Seward on the Admiral Watson yesterday, sailing south for Juneau on the same boat about nine o'clock last night. Lr. Walker is chief fur warden and head of the Biological survey for the Territory with head quarters at Juneau He has been to the westward attending a meeting of the Southwestern Alaska Fur Association, newly formed organization of fox farmers with headquarters at Kodiak.
 While on his trip to the Westward MT. Walker went as far as Shuack and nearly to the western end of the is land, and was much impressed with the possibilities of the region as a game field.
 While my mission was principally to attend the meeting of the fur farm ers," said Mir. Walker, "I also looked into the advisibility of introducing valuable fur bearing and game ami mals into the Kodiak group. The res idents of the islands have nofur bear CTS in a wild state save the red fox, land otter, ermine and large brown bear. After covering practically all of the island groups have determin- ed that mink and marten would thrive in many portions, while in other musk rat and beavers would do we'll. This portion of game propagation is being worked on, and if the thing is practi- cal and advisable before next session of congress, I will submit compre- hensive report on conditions, and the Bureau will then try to get funds for the purpose of stocking the islands. Because of the scarcity of game and fur bearing animals in this favorable district, the Bureau will favor giving them precedence over other sections until such time as enough of those animals have been stocked to insure steady supply. Deer, moose and elk would probably thrive on these is- lands, and their presence would insure both sport and a constant meat supply in season."
 Continuing MT. Walker stated that he was agreeably surprised at the ac- tivity manifested in the vicinity of Ko diak, and presaged large volume of business emanating from this section.
 "Too much stress cannot be laid up on the importance of wild life as revenue producer" said MT. Walker. Tt means the spending of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future and will add greatly to the revenue of the Territory"
