THE , EICALAKA EAALE • _ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 04 G\ BARBED WIRE IS THE -BEST \Blast Furnaces\ in Operation. Wire can be skimped in several ways, but \QO\ Barbed Wire and \QG\ Wire Fence are always kept up to the highest standard. IT PAYS TO BUY \QUALITY GOODS.' , Steel is one of the world's stables -like wheat. The Pitts- burg steel market is quoted in every daily paper --everywhere -and the price don't vary. One way to skimp wire is to put a little less steel into every rod of barbed wire or woven wire fencing -that saves two ways. It saves in the cost of raw material and on the freight of the - finished product. It needs no argument to prove that the lighter the wire, the weaker the fence. Another way to skimp is by wiping the pilot or \ , spelter\ as the cam might be, to its thinnest coat. \Spelter or the galvanized coat, is mighty coatly stuff. Put on half a coat and you cut the cost in two. Now we would like to drive this hotne: Your fenge is only good as long as the paint or galvanizing lasts and not a minute longer. \QG\ Wire is strictly \Quality Goods\ -painted or galvan- ized -it carries the heaviest always -and that means THE BEST TI1ERE IS. • It Is NEVER skimped--alwayg full gauge and weight - always the heaviest coat of paint or \spelter“ the wire will bear. • ROGERS - TEMPLETON LUMBER CO. , FARMERS' PACKING PLANT ON ROCKS WISCONSIN CO-OPERATIVE CON- CERN WILL NOT PAY STOCK- HOLDERS TEN PER CENT. The Minneapolis Tribune prints a dispatch from La Crosse, Wisconsin, as follows: \Affairs of the Farmers' Cd-ppera- tive Packing company of La Crosse, the first institution of its kind started in the United States, will be aired in court The plant is closed and the business will either be wound up through the receivership or sold. \Twenty-five hundred farmers, stockholders in the enterprise, are awaiting the trial of an action start- ed by the Langdon-Boyd Packing company against the co-operative company, to recover $124)00 alleged to be due on the purchase price of the plant. That developments in the trial will reveal in part - how the far- mers lost more than $200,000 in two years is the contention of the princi- pals in the action. 'It is said the books of tha company will show that $37,000 was spent in organizing the - co -operative company; that the spoil- ing of one batch of meat cost the company more than $20,000, and that mismanagement was responsi- -. ble for the loss of thousands of dol- lars additional. \The sale of the property, it is ex- pected, will not yield the stockhold- ers more than 10 cents on the dollar nivested.\ • Preparing for Emergencies. The adjutant general of Montana has been advised that Lteutenant Col- onel Caldwell, inspector general of this department of the United States army, would arrive in Helena, \with- in a few days,\ to inspect the arsenal and that he desired all enlisted men and officers who could arrange to be present to meet him here. A hurry up telegram was received by the state government from Washington, urg- ing that the Montana authorities wire at once a list of equipment needed to put Montana's quota of fighting men on a war basis.

Painted by the Cowboy Artist When He Was Not Ao Famous A8 He Now is; Huidekoper Proposes to Give Paintini to Montana Historical Society. You can go into a postal card stand almost anywhere in Amerfca, and from the vari-colored pictures you are almost certain to find facing you a copy of \Last of Five Thous- and,\ Montana's most noted picture and the Sketch which introduced to fame Charles M. Russell, the greatest portrayer of western life in pen and bru in sh i he library _of a Montana ranch home, in the northern extremity of• Sweetgrass county, hangs the origin- al of this famous painting, not so large as a postal eard, it looks small' indeed, in comparison with Russell's masterpiece, \Meat for Wild Men,\ which hangs on the wall by its side. Both are the property of Wallis Hui- dekoper, one of Montana's most prominent stock men. Mr. Hnide- koper also owns two other paintings by it Ru is ss a el n l. ideal setting in which is found this little picture which por- trays the only one of a large herd to survive a hard winter. It is painted on the crude end of an old 'cracker box, and the story of how it came to be made is known to nearly every school boy and girl in the treasure state. An.swers With Picture. It was 20 years ago, after a hard winter on a northern Montana ranch. The cowhoy, Charles Russell, re- ceived a letter from his eniployers asking him how the cattle had fared. His answer was the little picture showing the one lone animal that was left , a wolf only a short distance away watching it intently. No other picture ever painted of Montana life has gained such 'Wide circulation as this one. It was presented to a painter in Helena by Mr. Kaufman, one of Mr. Russell'e employers, many years ago, and by him it was copy- righted and reprints sent all over the world. A few years ago it fell into the hands of Mr. Huidekoper, who paid a substantial sum for it. Some day he expects to leave it to the Mon- tana Historical library. Naturally one becomes interested in the kind crf a man who possesses so noted a relic. Mr. Huidekoper is a staubch combination or a mixture of east and west. He combines both the vision and broad thinking of the western stockmen with the culture and refinement of an easterner of highest training. In his ideal') and ambitions he is poaitively western, in his tastes he represents the culture and refinement of the most esthetic art centers of the world. The two Russell pictures mentioned are only a portion of a wonderful collection of paintings which he possesses. The famous picture, naturally, appeals to him because of his interest in the livestock industry. He is one of Mon- tana's most prominent stock men be- ing vice president of the Montana Live Stock association, a member of the executive committee of five of the state live stock board, vice presi- dent of the American National Live Stock association, a position to which he has been elected on four different occasions. He comes from that stur- dy stock of Germane who settled the central portions of Pennsylvania and who have played • an important part in the development and progress of the American natiOn. His father, General H. S. Huidekoper, is a veter- an of the Bucktail Brigade at the battle of Gettysburg, where he was badly wounded. He was colonel of the 150th Pennsylvania regiment. It was natural, therefore, that his eon should rush to the defense of his country when the nation was at- tacked, and as a result he was a ser- geant in the Sixth Pennsylvania Cav- alry and served under General Miles, Porto Rico. . He Moved West. Before coming to Montana ten yeags ago, Mr. Huldekoper was for 17 years a - rancher in the little Mis- souri River country in North Dakota, running on the ranges there as high as 10,000 head of cattle he decided to move farther west and purchasd the famous Veazey ranch of 52 sec- tions in Sweetgrass county. He now owns 33,000 acres there; 3,000 of it are under cultivation and more than 16,000 are susceptible of irrigation. This winter he has fed between 16,- 000 and 20,000 head of White Faces. In his herd are more than 300 reg- istered Herefords of the \Strong Anxiety\ strain, the foundation, of which came from the pick of the old Catlin herd, from near White Sul- phur Springs. His postoffice, Wallis, is situated on the ranch and the home la In a most picturesque spot, a beautiful mountain stream flowing nearby, so close, in fact, and 80 full of trout, that it is possible to go out every morning before break fast and catch sufficient of the speckled beauties for a morning repast. This is only one of many of several ranchee in which Mr. Huidekoper is interested. An- other one situated on Tongue river, about 46 miles south of Miles City, contains 22,000 acres, 6,000 of which are under cultivation. The Tongue river flows through the ranch for 13 miles. This winter Mr. Huidekoper and his associates have fed some 4,000 head of cattle there. Has , Fax! h Money. A few years o he decided that he had amasse all the money that he should ever ant, and it was time for/f1m to ret e and enjoy life. As he said to on of his friends in 131a Timber, \I a the happiest man in the world. have all the money I want, there 1 dthing I desire I can not buy, there s no place I want to go I can not go, and my domestic re- lations are absolutely perfect, so Mrs. Huldekoper and I are going to enjoy ourselves traveling.\ He took in South Am - rica, making an extensive trip through the coun- try. Several times he has gone to Europe. He was not gone very long, however, until a lack of something to do was too much for his relentless, energy, and returning to Montana he went into the stock business on a greater scale than ever, branching out into mercantile pursuits and be- coming interested in banking. With Charles and Frank O'Donnell he or- ganized the Montana Live Stock and Loan association, with large. stock yards at Billings.. Thousands of herds of cattle have been brought in- to the state and distributed among the farmers of Montana for feeding, the operations being financed by this company. Vr. Huidekoper is a lover of west - ell! life, and, being of an artietic na- ture, he naturally secured some of Russell's western pictures. Among the number is, \Meat for Wild Men,\ considered to be his masterpiece. It shows a large number of black feet Indiana surounding a Buffalo Herd and killing the animals with their arrows. He bought it for a compan- ion to the famous little picture that scarted Charles Russell on his waY t6 greatness. NORTH DAKOTANS ARE COMING TO MONTANA \It seems to me that every man you talk to is interested in Montana land,\ writes the manager of a large real estate firm in Fargo, N. D., to Commissioner Charles D. Greenfield of the department of agriculture and publicity. This one firm announces that they Nave more than 1,000 local prospects for Montana land. \You may think this is an exag- geration.\ continues the North Dako- ta real estate man, \but if you knew the conditions that exist here in the red river valley you would not be surprised that the people are leaving and going to Montana. We have had three successiv . e crop failures here.\ The writer adds that he has had framed six representative Montana farm scenes sent him by Commission- er Greenfield and these are displayed in the windows of the firm's offices and are attracting much attention. That Montana is to receive an enormous influx of homeseekers this spring is indicated by the character of the large volume of mail daily re- ceived by the department of agricul- ture and publicity. The inquiries for Montana land come from all parts of the United States, and' embrace not only letters from people who are de- sirous bf securing homesteads, but also inquiries as to the price and location of improved and unimproved deeded lands.
