And there were many \N'teros\ ready to gloat over the torture and death agonies to be. suffered by the \faith- ful - ill - les' when they Weitild - 51; mad to to \bite the dust\ in ignominious de- feat. Thus mused the imaginative mind— but this is not a day and age for the toleration of stitch atrocious acts—and,, dm fact, this written portrayal, is only the conception of an illbusionarai mind —for behold! The setting of our -story is the peaceful little city of Moore, 'the \Arena\ is the local ball park, the \Christian Martyrs\ are our goad townsmen (as to their \Christ- ian\ qualifications I am not advised) '—those slender of form, though broad on \formalas\—none other than the \Leans.\ Pray quell your Minot of applause, that I may announioe the true identity Of the nine good men and true, whom I so unjuatly referred to as ferocious jungle beasts—What! you have guess- ed already?—of course we \n.atives\ know them, 'but for the enlightenment of readers in the outside world let me announcer --the \Fats\—against whom the worthy \Leans\ were matched in the home -talent ball game played Tuesday afternoon ,with a re- sulting score of 15 to 14 in favor of the winners. \Who were the winners?\ 'Someone asks. The \Fats\ we will admit, while 'they claim. \predestination\ made the outcome certain. Not •being a theorist or spiritualist the writer will Inca dispute the claim, bat does ven- ture the remark that of all \destina- tions\ the one already arrived at ,is the only dependable, one—thence the Untruth of the boast 'by the, \Fats\ that they \knew\ they would win. Home Run Croley led off the batt- ing with his frequent good luck , of getting hit (not a hit), \Okla.\ Jim Dawkine and Keno Wiley fanned; Elmokey Willard took it easy and got to first on balls, \Blonely\ Anders tame to bat, bringing In Craley and Willard. Parlor Curry hit safe and scored Anders, while Slim Huff fol- lowed - with a two -bag \balloon\ into center field; fielder failed to \con- nect,\ letting Carry score with Huff on second. Dr. \Lean\ David made an easy hit towards first but the 'speed \accelerator\ would not re- spond his weak foot pressure and. he \died\—making 3rd out. Following the regular comae we ehottlel now chronicle what the \Fats' did ,at first inning, but they are big men, of big deeds, and limited apace require that we be brief. The score leport on this page shows that the second inning ended with score 6 apiece, no tallies in the third; Fats ran in 4 scores in the fourth, Leans none. Leans scored 2 in 5th. Fats none ,while in the 6th the Leans ran their total up tcf 13 as against total 'of 12 by Fats. No scores made in 7th inning. As it was then past 4 -o'clock, the managers agreed to play one /more- inning. Willard, of the. Leans, being first man, up, grounded out to first, then came Anders who slammed a clean home run, the next man got three long 'drives to the catcher. Slim Huff was up and drew an easy grounder 'to first which retired the side.. The Leans then took the field with a feel- ing that they had the game cinched, and the Fat population gave up all - hoPe for their \husky brethern.\ But right here is where the balloon went !up. Taylor, first up, hit an easy one to pitcher and was thrown out at first. 4-lasman came up and binged out a safe one, landing on ,first. MoGuin hit an easy one to third, who booted It around, until Hasman landed safe on second and himself on first. Dr. Owen drew three strikes. With two 'men out and two men on bases, up ecanes \Doggie\ Winters and every-' me gave a sigh for they all expected 'him to draw three. But this is where \Doggie\ slipped one over on the natives. With two strikes on him he connected with the horse hide and it 'looked as though the fielders Were going to have to get a horse to run it down And \Doggie\ started to run 'and never stopped until he landed an the third sack, almost running over Haman and MeGuin, who cross- le.d the plate. thas tying 'the score. With two men out,. Winters on third, and Big Chief David to bat, the erieis was before them. If they fail- ed to -break the tie the Leans would surely do so and win. David knock- ed a \roller\ Just front of home plate and started to first, with Win- ters coming home. The ball Was picked v.ip by Anders who thought carrying it to first would beat throw - tug', and realized his mistake too il'ate' to put the runner out, thus mak- ing Winter's steal count number )5. Yes, the Fats won, but not with a creditable margin, and the Leans are hot after their' scalps, so guard welt your \goats.\—Contributed Bunglers entered the Farmers' Ellevator and Lewistown Steam Laundry at Lewistown, Sunday night, securing but $39 for their trouble. The Laundry safe was taken from the building, but not opened, and it Is believed they were frightened away 'before completing their wort.

Writes of Farming and 0 portunities In Treasure State Because for the same amount of. tabor Montana's soil will yield a larg- er return, because hera farming is 'new and therefore progrsesive, be- eause a wealth of other resources and industries make certain a constant un,d profitable market, beeaase land. values here are low and are certain /to increase, and because living in Montana is invigoratingly delightful, the prospective settler and purchaser wed colonizer of land should turn to :this state. ft is difficult to speak of Montana .without using superlatives. It is like- wise difficult for us of the Treasure' State to discuss the wonderful pos- sibilities of our commonwealth with- out causing our hearers to believe the, we are given to unmitigated ex- aggeration; that we have allowed our fudgment to be warped by extreme tenth uisiasm., And yet, reduced to cold facts, the most amazing statements with regard to Montana are amply fortified by th unemotional statistics issued under 'the authority of the federal govern- ment. I fancy that most people fend the year book of the department of egricalture rather too dry for enter- taining reading, and yet there is no pu.blication to which we in Montana ;ook forward with more eagerness Year :by year . In its pages we annually find the story of Montana's agricultural tri- umph, unadorned by catchy headlines, unsupported by decorative rhetoric. The story is always there, entertain- ing and instructive tied inspiring to those who appreciate and understand the magnificent significance of com- parative average yields per acre. A 'Oahu table of plain facts, but coming from an authority which is never dis- 'pute'd, serves to place Montana's egriouatural supremacy in a position *of absolute security. Farming in Montana is a profitable industry, and with the continued ap- plication of scientific principles to agriculture it will continue to be so. In this connection it is interesting to note that the ten-year average per acre yield of , wheat in the United /State (1903-1912) was 15.9 bushels, 'while the ten-year avreage per acre 'for Montana for the same period was 26.85 bushels; that the ten-year aver- age yield per acre of oats for the 'United States (1903-1912) was 29.84 ibushels, while the ten-year aveliage or Montana for the same period was 44.63 bushels; that the ten-year aver- age per acre yield of barley in the United States (1903-1912) was 25.51 bushels, while the ten-year average eor Montana for the 'same period was 64.01 Matteis; that the ten-year aver- age per acre yield of potatoes for the United States (1903-1912 was 96.3 'bushels, while the ten-year average of Montana per acre for the same 'period .was l49.4 bushels. • Li is not only in quantity of yield that we claim supremacy for Mou- 'Lana products. In quality they like - 'wise distance all competitors.. As fee back as the .World's Coluna tbituit exposition in Chicago in 1893 *Montana products began winning prizes, and this state has led the avocession ever since, its 'most recent aohievem,ent being the' capture of anactically bait of the grain prizes offered at the national corn exhibit at Dallas, TeXais, February 12 to 24, 1914. At this exposition, , held 2,000 Mlle* 'away from this state and against the 'competition_ of thirty-seven states and the dominion of Canada, Montana's /winter, spring and durum wheat and barley were proclaimed the best in the world, while Montana oats won against all entries from the United Otates. It can truly be said that in an agricultural way Montana's resources 'have .been scarcely scratched. Of a total land area of over 93,000,000 aches it is estimated that at leak 35,- '000,000 acres are availble for success - (el farming operations, and of this vast 'area at least 6,000,000 acres ,can be successfully irrigated. During the year 1913 the most re- liable reports indicate that not to eit- Antoci 2,564,000 acres were under 'culti- vation, this cultivated area being as (follows: Corn 28,000 acres Hay 060,000 acres Wheat 870,000 acres Oats 500,000 acres Potatoes 36,000 acres Rye 10,000 acres Barley 60,000 acres Flax 400,000 acres Aeoordi•tig to the report of the United States d pantanent of Agri- culture this small acreage, less than tone -fourteenth of the total available tbarm area of tile *gate, produced in '1913: Corn .... 882,000 bushels Hay ..... 1,188,000 tons Wheat .. 20.673,000 bushels Oats .... 21,750,000 bashels Potatoes 5,040,000 bushels Rye 210,000 bushels • Barley 1,860,000 bushels ) Flax 3,100,000 bushels With such a record we of Montana Teel .6a:trident that with the settle- ment of our public domain and with the :breaking up of the millions of acres of virgin soil yet remaining in 'this state, the Treasure State will soon take its place in the front rank at the great agrictiltural empires of the world. The settler who conies into Mon- tana to secure a home on a portion of the 15,40,000 acres of good farm- ing land yet netuainiag open to entry has a wonderful diversity of sail and topography team which to select the laud he desires Ito cultivate. He oan obtAtin his home in the beautiful tim- berod valleys of the western portion of the state, or he can turn to the rolling prairies which constitute the eastern tweetiliirds of our common - :wealth. He can begin his honie-building operations high in the hills where 'snowfall is abundant and only the 'mast 'hardy 'glasses and plants will thrive, or he can find a suitable loca- tion at an elevation of less than two 'thousand feet above sea level, where 41e can suoceselltaly raise practically any env indigenous to the temperate, zene. He can locate his home in the dry land ark a, Where a generous eovern•ment mllows llttn to appropriate half-siction of land, or he can se- cure a foothold under one of the er.at reclamation projects .where his holding's may be limited to as low as forty acres. The prospective purchaser, the man 'Who is able to dispose of his :!'arm in an eastern 'fisate at a high price ean find here anaotically an unlimited Variety 'of lands and farms in every stage of development, being restrict- ed only to a seleetion which will ap- peal to this purse and to his taste. He can, 'purchase tlatge income,yield- ing fruit lands at prices whiold range as high as $1,000 or $1,200 per acre; be can purchase beautiful stock and bay ranchos with adludicate,d..waletr rights of baronial proportions; he can Purchase, Weill developed and well 'equipped farms, or at a price much lower he can purchase state or rail- road lands at a cost which will make their 'development and operation of much 'financial profit to .himself. The •colonizer in Montana 'can, find opportunities which seem to have been created especially or his bene- fit and profit. Many of the, large stock ranches, some of them embra•c- ling scores of thousands of acres, are ideally fitted for farming operations, and a 'amber of these can be pur- ehased by those who desire to cut them up into farms and dispose of diem to actuall settlers. The state of Montana is alive to the importance of not only obtaining new settlers, but of seeing that they are successful after their location here. Montana is an empire in- the making, and the public-spirlted peo- vile of this generation are. anxious 'to see the state developed as rapidly (Continued an page two.)
