HUTTERISCHE -COLONY ARE THRIFTY CLASS OF PEOPLE Harvested a Big Crop This'Fall.---Ex- pect To Have In Larger Acreage Next Seasot---Fine Homes The Hotterische society of 'Baan Germans, who came Isere early dila spring and' Purchased It lie 10,000 were ranch from King brothers an Rig spring creek, have demonstrated' that they are a thillfty class of People and are going to make good money Tram their investment in Judith Ba- sin land. From ihe 6 , 00 acres of win - 'ter wheat that they had in they re- CeiV eti 18,000 bushels or 30 bushels tc the acre. They also raised some spring grain and a sufficient quantity Of vegetables of all Winds to keep them supplied until next fall. This fall they halve over 900 acres of . win- ter Wheat in and expect to sow at least 400 acres, of spring grain. tTlhe colony came here in May from Merino, South Dakota, where there is t',large .settlemetet, and consists of familie.s or about 80 people. They have erected , three large buildings, 62x90, which are used for dwelling amuses, each family 'hellos allowed n eertain number of roams. One build - lug is used for a dining room where all eat together. Besides these build- ings they have a laundry, .balterY, sheds and barns of all descriptions. They have their own, school 'with an 'attendance of about 30 pupils and avhich is tin charge , of a gentleman member of the colony while another 'member looks after the spiritual wel- fare of Ifts people and conducts ser- vices regulorlY• At the head of 'the colony is, Jacob tn,t11111, a kindly old gentleinani who as sort, of general manager over ell and who . is responsible for the ut t er isches coining to Montaii it thider him are a number of assistant Snanagere, each with a certain duty to perform). One may have charge of the horses, another look after the large bands of cattle an sheep Matte others are detailed to do the farm- ing, etc. Thei.e is a perfect system 'to everything and this Is even rieticeable in the houses where the 'women are assign( d their tasks -for the day or the week as the case Inlay be. And there seems. to be ;per- fect harmony among all. Every - Jiving about the Place is neat and tidy and every member seems to take a: pride in his or her own, per- sonal appearance as well. The build - 'lugs are situated right along Big Oering creek and no niore beautiful '.pot could passably have been select- ed. In the 'spring it is planned to set out several acres of shade and fruit trees all around the place. 'The Hutterisches are well pleased tit the Treasure State and the re - salts they obtained. from Mite first sear out here have been so ,gratifying 'hat they expect to bring more of tneir .people out from South Dakota next season and locate them on. land o.'a the Judith Basin. ati matt es, THIRTY THOUSAND ELK IN THE NATIONAL PARK The elk that winter In the Yellow- stone National park now amount to over 30,000 according to the repont of the acting superintendent of the park just made public by tae depart- me.nt of the interior, says the Hel- ene, Record. \The problem of hand- ling this large herd of elk to the best advantage,\ says - Lieutenant Calomel Brett, \has become an im- portant one, and one in which many are interested. The department of agriculture has, in the interests of the elk, limited , the grazing districts for sheep in the. national forests ad- joining the park; the states of Mon- tana / and Wyoming have set aside game preserves adjoining the porn for the protection of the elk and other game, and the latter state as well as the federal ,gov.ernment has spent money to feed the elk that winter in Jackson H.olle.\ \The buffalo in the ,park,\ says the acting superintendent, \ are in two herds—a wild and a tame one. A special effort was made during the month of July to determine as nearly as possible the exact number of buffalo in the wild heed in the Park. Forty-nine animals, including ten this year's 'calves were counte'd. This is the largest number reported for more than ten years, and the num- 'her of calves. indicates that the herd is thriving beyond expectation. \At the present time there are 143 animals in the tame herd, fifty-eight males, sixty-one females and twenty- four this year's calves, sex undeter- mined. \A disease attacked the herd in December, just after the buffalo were taken up from the range where they had 'been day hertang during th summer and twenty-two died before it could be stopped. The department. of agriculture sent a veterinarian to the park .to do what he could, and after ,examination of specimens from the (lead animals sent to that depart- ment in. Washington the .desease was pronounced to be hemorrhabie sep- ticemia, although its symptoms were at first thought to be those of blasik leg. The carcasses were burned and all precautions taken, to prevent fur- ther sure-a.d of the disease. In June veterinarian e as sent out by the department cf agriculture, who vac- cinated all of the adults of the nerd with seram prepared and' fur- nished by his department, as a pros tective measure. \Lit addition to the twenty-two ani- mals that died of disease, two bulls and four caws have died or had to 'he killed for various causes during the year. These, however, were, of but little lass to the herd, as they were old or decrepit animals and unfit to remain with the. herd. \By constant herding during the slimmer the herd has become to being driven, and as , a rule is; 'bandied with but little trouble on the range. The usual show herd of fifteen bulls was brought into the field near Mammoth. Hat Springs at the beginning of the tourist season, so they coutd be seen by travelers and was returned to the main herd on Sept.- 18. BIG YIELD OF OATS 13141111os, Nov. 27,—A crop of oats 'which gave an average yield of 105 bushels per acre has just been threshed by Neil B. Platt, formerly of Billinrgs., but who, now resides in the vicinity of Ily,sham. The grain is of the large white variety and oot only . were the returns of the re- cording hreahipg sort, but the quality of the cereal is said tO he partionlarly good. The crop was harvested three months ago and as it stood in the shock since that time, it, is believed the yield woold have been somewhat heavier had threahing been done shortly after the Cutting. Mr. Platt NUMBER 13 of about $1,750, or meanly $22 per acre, which is virtuality as great as much of the land is priced at in that territory. According to information received 'flout the northern section, sautetically ell of the threshing is now complete cud interest is now being taken; in next year's grasp. crop. An immense area was seeded to winter Wheat mud thiis is in excellent condition. The recent rains, though a hindrance to the carrying on; of farm work, were really of great benefit to the non -irrigated districts, for it is said that the ground Is so thoroughly saturated with moisture that a good ..rop will be harvested even should the precipitation next spring be be- low normal. TIME To ENROLL Dillon, Nov. 26-1The second quar- ter of the college year will begin at the Montana State Normal College on _Monday, Dec. 2. This will be a suitable time for any to, enroll whose work Ili the scho_olroom debarred them from the opportunity of enroll- ing in September. .The continuous session system, which was adopted last year, was designed especially for the benefit of those teachers who desire 'professienal training, but find It necessary to teach a -portion of the year. As announced in, the catalogue pub- lished last June, a considerable num- ber of twelve week courses will be offered at the be.ginning of the sec- ond quarter. These will suffice to meet the various needs of students entering at that time, since they in - (\lode both the common branches, in which reviews or more thorough training may be desired, or more ae- vanced courses, in 'which credits .may be gained and accumulated for a diploma. Comfortable quarters, with board, can be secured in the spacious dormi- tories, which are located on the college campus. The social life of the students body is by no means neglected, while those desiring to combine ,selflimprovement and diver - sloe, will flan abundant opportunity the various student organizations, such as the Story-frellers League, the Oratorical Association, the Ger- man Club, etc. During the year a lecture and entertainment course gives a series of seven or eight en- tertainments of a high grade of ex- cellence. entered the land at the time the ceded portion, of the Crow reservation was thrown open to entry 6 years' ago, and he sold the farm 2 months ego to an Iowa man for $77.50 Per acre, A report from the dry farming sec- tion near Belmont is to the effect that 0. W. Jameson .has just finish- ed the threshing of oats from an 80 'acre field which showed an average of Slightly more than 73 bushels per acre, machine measure, or, a total of about 5,850 bushels. At 30 cents per bushel, which Is more than 1 'cent under the Chicago quotations, the crop would bring a gross revenue MOCCASIN TO HAVE DEPOT This week work has been Started. on the new depot for Moccasin., one of the .nedeed improvements to our 'village. The depot that is now be- ing .used is far too small for the amount of business that 'Is donei here by the railroad company and the new one will be built large enough .to do for some time. It is to he 50x90, built up-todate in every respect. A 'large office, freight room and two waiting TOOIlls Will be some of the main, co,nrventences. it will be built just a short distance east o the present depot stands, on the meth side of the track. 'The branch l f e whorewiwill T n inor the Moccasin-Lewistow be constructed so that the incoming train will run In from the east, up to the end of the depot. Between this track and .the main line a platform mill run along on the south side of the depot. The platform Neill be 400 feet long and wide enough , for con- venience. Th.o gravel for the founda- tion is already unleaded and the 'lumber for the building has arrived this week. The carpenters will com- mence workesoon. Aside from this work the short side track which runs up to the ele- vators is being extended the 'same length as the long slide track now in, which will make two side tracks running the length of about four blocks. As soon as the train schedule on the ,new branch is established(nil cf the fast trains on the main line will stop here, thus bringing to our town a big share 'of the travelling trade that now goes to other places. A decided improvement will at once, take oace in M,occaslitta business. --- Dispatch. SHIP SAPPHIRES ACROSS TO LONDON CONSIGNMENT OF THESE VALU- ABLE GEMS SHIPPED FROM MOORE FRIDAY Twelve large, boxes of sapphires in the rough were shipped from Moore Priday to'' the New Sapphire Syndi- cate at London, 141ngland. These sapphires came from the mines( above 'Utica, where large quantities are mined every year. They are ship- ped to England to , be cut and are then returned to this country, where they are, sold. 'MS consignm,ent amounted to thousands of dollars, be- ing one of the largest shipments ever made from this, point. Fergus county sapphires , are considered among the finest in the world and command high prices when Waged on the market. The manner In 'which these gems are mined is in- deed wonderful and anyone ;who has not had. 'the opportunity of witnessing the process through which they Pass before being boxed at the mines, has 'missed a wondrous sight. G. N. ROAD TO GRASS RANGE • • • • • • • • • mai • s.
