COLLINS CONDEMNS
GARRETT STORIES
SAYS MAGAZINE WRITER PUR-
POSELY KEPT AWAY FROM
PROSPEROUS SECTIONS
Made Hurried Trip Through Dry
Land Sections and Passed Up Dis
tricts Where Prosperity Is the
Rule.
BY jeremiah Collins

The series of articles in the Sat
urday Evening Post by Garet
Garrett, covering the agricultural
situation in certain northwestern
states, including Montana, attract
ed wide attention, and, as / be-
Heve, have done rank injustice to
| this state.
His journeyings and observations
seem to have been restricted to a
portion of northern Montana which
he has been pleased to call the
triangle" A perusal of these art
icles would leave the impression on
the ordinary reader that this good
state is in condition of hopeless
bankruptcy and due for an immediate
refereeship. The illustrations as well
as the letter press would warrant
such a conclusion.
1t is not intended in this connec-
tion to attempt to controvert in a
specific way the position taken or the
conclusions reached by this CORES
pondent, but only to point out the in
Justice of characterizing in this way
a state as big as Montana because of
his glimpses and observations in
limited area which he has designated
as the triangle, the locus of which
is not clearly defined.
Prosperous Beaverhead
A recent visit to Dillon, the metro
polls of southwestern Montana, has
brought forcibly to wind the point
suggested that the state should not
be generally Hbeled because of an
adverse situation in one corner of it.
Dillon was found to be a prosperous,
progressive, wholesome city AS the
center of great livestock district, it
was naturally affected by the disaster
of 191920, but the recovery has been
phenomenal, and the stockmen and
ranchers are going forward in the
even tenor Of their way, making good
and paying their debts and rejoicing
in the prospect that the former full
measure of prosperity is near at
hand. Dillon has had no bank fail
ures and the considerable needs of
the livestock industry at certain pc
riods for financial assistance have
been met, and any strain that exist
ed has now been relieved. The mer-
chants report business satisfactory,
and an air of prosperity is all-per-
vading.
Coming Back Strong
This is primarily livestock terri
tory. 1t is one of the best watered
sections of the state, and the irri-
gated area runs into hundreds of
of acres. Hay is the prin-
cipa1 crop, and it is marketed in the
form of fat beef, mutton and lamb. If
here is surplus of timothy or al
ialfa, it is drawn on bu Butte and |
)ther mining centers. Wheat, oats |
Ind other cereals are also produced. |
rhe impression one gets from a visit |
% this section is that while the |
lrought OF 1919 and the severe win
er following left its heavy impress,
his is now but a recollection OF the
assing years, and there are topics
f conversation other than the price
f hay in the spring of 1920, and the
olt received by the livestock in dus-
ry.
Beaverhead county is somewhat
The Wolf Point herald., 1924-06-05

typical of the mountain region
throughout the state, and was led
to wonder how Mr.. Garrett's articles
would have shaped up if he had a
different viewpoint. Let US imagine
his transportation was over the
Union Pacific railroad instead of the
Great Northern, and that he left his
train at Monida, to pursue his subse-
quent way by motor or train, as
should be most convenient; that he
"took in" the nearby Centennial val
ley, then followed Red Rock creek
or the Park to Park road to Dillon;
made side-trips through the wonder
full Beaverhead and Big Hole valleys
and to the Basin that bears the lat
ter name. Then let us imagine he
passed on to the valleys of the JEFF
ferson and Madison and their tribu-
taries, following these waters until
he landed at Bozeman, in the center
of the incompatible Gallatin valley
Then it is easy motoring to Butte,
Anaconda, Deer Lodge, Missoula,
Hamilton, Kalispell and other cities,
with irrigated valleys on every hand,
and evidence in view of the great
mineral, forest and water power re-
sources of the state.
What He Missed
This is just a flying trip, hitting
the high-spots, through a big por-
tion of the state where irrigation is
in large measure the basis of agri-
culture. Even then, he has missed
the new corn belt in eastern and |
southeastern Montana, which as an
infant industry has a record of TO-
100000 bushels annually; the Red |
Lodge country, Billings and the
Huntley project; Shields River val
ley, Smith river, Missouri river val
ley, Prickly Pear valley, Great Falls |
and the north slope of the Belt and |
mountains; Sun River |
project, as we'll as the empire known |
as the Judith Basin. If chance had |
directed the magazine writer over
the indicated portion of the state, in
stead of the part he visited, how diff
ferent his articles might have been?
The more enlightening viewpoint
would at least have obviated whole
sale lbel-condemnation of the en-
tire state because of what he saw in
a segment of 1t. Then, having an
inquiring turn of mind, he could /
have picked up from official sources
the information that during the year
1923 Montana produced in new agri-
cultural wealth in excess of S170,-
100000, a statement 1t would have
been hard to harmonic with his
triangle story.

mission, alleged that underhand-
ed attacks we're being made on
him by political enemies, who
are circulating the insidious
propaganda that he is affiliated
with the Ku Klux Khan and that
he held an Office in that organi-
zation. He emphatically denies
any connection, in any manner
whatever, with the Khan, says
the Nogales Herald.
Mr.. Earhart's statement fol-
lows:
Il was much surprised to find
that in my home county | have
political enemies who have
stopped to SANDER me by whis-
pering that.I am affiliated with
the Ku Klux Khan. About two
years ago, I made this same de-
NAL, at the time fully realizing
that the people of this county,
whom I have known for many
years, would not believe that /
was member of that order, but
| made the denial for the benefit
of strangers who did not know
me.
The residents of this county
knowing me as we'll as they have
for so many years, know that in
no manner have l ever, by word.
deed or thought been unfair to
any religious sect or any race.
Many of my closest friends are
of foreign birth and belong to
various religious denominations.
L wish to again state that
this undetermined attack is being
made by petty political enemies
who would very much desire to
encompass by political defeat by
low methods, fully knowing that
they cannot bring any charges
that they could substantiate, that
would injure my standing in any
manner.
Il have taken the oath of of.
fee in the State of Arizona sew
eral times in which | have sworn
to uphold the constitution of the
United States and the State of
Arizona, in which is given the
freedom of religious worship and
pursuit of happiness and | real
lied that the success and peace
of our State and nation rests
upon all Of US to safeguard our
constitution"

Replying to recent commu-
nication sent him by the w. G..
T. U. Of Nogales, Sonora, and
Nogales, Arizona, protesting
against gambling on the Mexi-
can side of the international
border, President Alvero Obre-
gon of Mexico, says:
Receiving your message of
yesterday; the undersign con-
dennis the establishment of pla-
ces where vice is commercializ-
ed, for he considers that no So
riety can progress nor has the

honest, perseverant and collec-
tive efforts, and | regret that
the legislatation of our country
permits local authorities to de-
eide these much debated ques-
tons, for in fact the Executive
can not exercise any action to
close gambling places nor do
away with the abject family of
gamblers which forms a social
cancer. This same Executive
was taking steps towards the
ordering of the closing of the
port when this measure was
taken by the American authori-
ties.
