GROWTH OF MONTANA DURING . - PAST DECADE MARVELOUS RECO!ID During the pita ten years hlontana has undergone•the greatest develop- ment in hor history and indications are that.in the next few years she will make progresS that will eclipse all recorda, both in the development of her industries and the increase of her population. So rapid has been her agricultural, horticultural and live Block development that she is rapidly gaining recognition as one of the important rural common- wealths and within a short fime it generally predicted she will become the greatest of all graio-producing states. Some idea of the remarkable prog- ress that has .heen ma.de during the past ten years is shown in figures that have been compiled and compar- isons that have been made by Chas. D. Grenfield, commissioner of. agri- culture and publicity, which form the basis of information given by him to the teachers of geography in the state at the state teachers' annual meeting. In addition to being first in min- ing these figures show that Montana leadtfkin agricultural development, upon which the past decade's prog- ress has demonstrated the growth and development of the state depends to the largest degree. • Population More Than Trebled. \In the past ten years the popula- tion has been more than trebled and two-thirds of the growth has been in the agricultural and live stock diti tricts,\ says Mr. Greenfield. \Dur- ing this peried millions of acres of public land have been settled upon, towns have sprung up in sections which were supposed to be suited solely for wild game and the grazing of sheep and cattle; the school, the church, the bank, the mercantile es- tabliahments, the lawyers' and the physicians' offices have come with the settlement of the land. \According to statistics of the agri- cultural' department at Washington, in 1907 Montana produced 4,000,000 bushels of wheat, valued at $3,243,- 000. In 1917 Montana produced 25,000,000 bushels of wheat, valued at $50,000,000. The same story of increased production is told by the government statistics of every other staple crop grown in the state. \In the 10 years ust passing tens StiOE e Toren qw. the Family Ask your dealer for Mayer Shoes. Look for the trade- mark on the sole. F. Mayee - Boot & Shoe Co. Milwaukee. Wis. of thousands of acres of land, classed befores 1907 as grazing, have been plowed, seeded and added millions of dollars to the wealth of the state and nation. Other thousands of acrea have been put under water, either by the national government through the reclamation service, by the operation of the Carey land act or through pri- vate enterprises. Thriving, growing, communities have sprung up in these former uninhabited regions and the geography of many places has been radically changed. \In 10 years the production of gold, silver, copper and coal has kept pace with the demands of the world; the modern reduction plants now in operation in the state have succeed- ed those of 10 years ago as the trac- tor has succeeded to a great extent the horse on the farm, and the auto truck the 16 -horse team with trail- ers, and the branch railroad the pack horse. \In 1907 there were in Montana 40 private and state banks, with total flootings in round numbers of $24,- 000,000. At the beginning of 1917 the number of these banks had grown to 245 nith total footings of $104,- 000,000. The same proportionate in- crease in the number of national banks in the state and the growth in their totals was also recorded in the same period. Increase in Postoffices. \Ten years ago a list of the post - offices in Montana was printed by the postoffice. department in large type on one page of the official postoffice guide. No'w it takes four pages of fine type to give the list. \Hydroelectric power in Montana 10 yeara ago was but in its infancy. Today all of the larger towns in the state are lighted at night by electric power generated by ' Montana streams. A great transcontinental railroad uses the Home power to carry its trains partly through Montana and into an adjoining state, a dis- tance of almost 500 miles. The mines of Butte, the smelters at Great Falls and Anaconda, industrial and manu- facturing plants of various sorts are kept in operation by means of the white power today, where 10 years ago it was a question whether this power could be successfully utilized to half the extent it now is. \The railroads have followed and in some cases they have preceded the settlement of what 10 eyars ago were the out-of-the-way places in Mon- tana, Bo that today the iron horse penetrates sections which in 1907 were known only to the hunter and the cowboy. Schools Show Progress. \During the past 10 years a great sum of money has been expended in the education of the youth of the state. In some of the counties this year the levy for the support of the schools is one-half of the total levied for all other county purposes. \In 1907 there were enrolled in the common and high schools of the state 45,000 pupils and there were employed 1,888 teachers. These pu- pils attended 991 schools, the build- ings being valued at $3,062,065. In 1917, according to the most reliable figures there were enrolled in Mon- tana in the common and high schools 145,000 pupils, the number of teach- ers had increased to 4,371 and the value of the school property to $9,- 244,558. These figures take no ac- count of the institutions of higher learning nor of the private and de- nominational institutions.\ An open heart and a closed mouth is a pretty good combination to work with.

FUrmer Who Bodo Into Country in Immigrant Car, Retires to Finan- cial Circles After hiaking Record as Newspaper Man, Farmer And Secretary for hlontana Boosters. Billings is out looking for another booster to keep the world informed of the advantages, opportunities and resources of the Midland Empire in general and Billings in particular, for C. W. Fowler, who has been the live -wire secretary of the Billings chamber of commerce, has quit the job and become a real live Vanker. Fowler is what you call a go-get- ter. He has gone out after settlers for the Billings country and capital- ists for the city and he has landed them by the scores, with the result that the community is a whole lot better off than it was when he tack- eled the job of boosting, some four and one-half years ago. In that length of time he has won a position at the very acme in commercial club boosting and promotion. There were some 105 members of the organization. when he took up the reins and now he has more than 500 on the roster. They meet every week at luncheon, talk over the city and community needs and prepare to work together in behalf of their home town. In keeping them work- ing side by each and in good humor all of the time Fowler has been kept pretty busy but he succeeded Bo well that the \Billings Booster\ spirit has gained recognition all over the state. Wanted to be a Farmer. Fowler used to ba a newspaPer man. Before coming to the north- west he read a copy and wrote good Hotel Dakota stories for papers in Oklahoma and other sections of the south and west. Then someone told him Uncre Sam had a lot of land up in northern Wy- oming that he wanted to give away to the fellow, who could make a liv- ing on it. That suited him and he decided to tackle the job. lie got together his worldly possessions, some livestock, and equipment, hired an immigrant car, and started for the northwest, riding in the car with his goods, keeping warm by the side of a. stove the chimney of which was a pipe stuck through the roof. In this \Pull- man Palace\ lie went through Bil- lings, gitve the city the once over, and then and there fell in love with it to the ext , nt that he decided to re- turn later and share in its prosperity.

He had no trouble landing a job or. the Billings Gazette, and his abil- ity as a newspaper reporter was speedily recognized. Accuracy was one of his hobbies. It proved to be a dividend earlier, and a paying one, too. One afternoon he was Sent to cover a meeting and he wrote the story so well, and his account was so good it attracted the attention of some of the members of the board of trustees of the chamber of commerce, which at that time- was casting about for a new secretary. Fowler put in an aptilication for the job, and as a re- sult of his accuracy in reporting that particular meeting, he won the posi- tion To say he has made good, would be putting it midly. He has been one of the real factors in boosting eaatern Montana. Hears the Farm Call Again. Last spring he heard the call of the wild again. Uncle Sam was urg- ing that more ground be planted to grain, and while Fowler was cultivat- ing his Shoshone project ranch, he wanted to do more. He intereated Billings banker and it was decided to go into the grain -raising business. Fowler decided to sow 1,00 acres to wheat. He purchased a large tract in the vicinity of Toluca and set to work an engine and gang plow, and Sundays and holidays he made rush trips to the land to boost the workmen into speeding up work and getting evw acre possible ready for crop. His success caused the banker to give him the once over on more than one occesic.o :Ind when it was ill'elderi to open a trust department, Fowler was hit upon as the right man ,to manage it. The Opportunity to be- come a banker just suited him, for he declared he had never seen a poor banker in his life, and so he decided to change from a collector to a money loaner and he took the job. EXPECT CANDY SHORTAGE IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON There is every indication that this year there will not be enough candy to go around or rather to supply the demand for the holiday season and already the advance agents of Santa Claus are warning all to be econom- ical in candy consumption. The scarcity of sugar and the limi- tations placed on candy manufaetur- ers are among the reasons respon- sible for this condition in Montana. so that It is ilot apt to he remedied before the Yuletide spirit rei.ens this year. The sugar supply to manufac- turers ban been reduced to practically half of what It was last year. There ict no successful substitute for sugar in candy making. Corn syrup or, as it used to be called, glucose, may be used with sugar, but too much , corn syrup means sticky candy. WHERE TO EAT. SOMETHING T() READ.
