S Expects to See Geyser Grow S' R. A. Harlow Enthusiastic Over Prospects in this Part of the Judith Basin That Geyser and the country adja- cent to it are destined to make a rapid development in the next few years is the opinion of Mr. R. A. Harlow, a well known capitalist of Montana, who is heavily interested in the Montana Ranch company, which bought 11,- 000 acres of farm land in this vicinity last winter. Mr. Harlow spent a couple of days in town this week in consultation with his local agent, Mr. E. F. Cobb, and was so favorably impressed with the looks of the country and activity along farming lines that we will make an effort to acquire a much larger acreage of the land in this neigh- borhood, having made an offer to Frank Mitchell to trade his 32,000 acre ranch property near Harlowtown for all of Mr. Mitchell's farm land in this part of the country. He went from here to Raynsford with M . r.N1 itchell to look over the land in that locality, after which he expects to see parties in Helena who hold some 5.000 acres of valuable land close to Geyser. Mr. Harlow expects to be able to retail the greater part of the Montana Ranch Co.'s tract during the present season and has made , terms that make it easy for parties with little capital to get a start here, ten years being offered on installment payments, or, if the purchaser so desires, he may buy the land on a contract to give 60 per cent of the crop each year, in which event one-half the land must be put in crop each year. It is most gratifying to the people of Geyser to see the class of farmers who are coming here and buying land, as in almost every case they are aiming to become actual settlers and are breaking up large tracts of land, which means that within a few short years values in this vicinity will be nearing the $100 an'acre mark.

President Penwell was enthusiastic in speaking of the prospects of the land show at Nlinneapolis in Novem- ber, at which the outfit is to be award - the supreme court rendered about three weeks ago in an action brought by an Augusta man against the commission- ers of Lewis & Clark, by which de- cision the individual members of the board of county coimnissioners and the road supervisors may be held person- ally responsible for damages in the ev ent of accidentt or injuries sustained by persons upon the public highways. Non -irrigated lands of Montana are specially adanted to the growing of flax, which is destined to become one . of the leading crops of the northern tier of states from Nlinnesota west, ac- cording to a press bulletin issued by Prof. H. L. Holley, botanist of the North Dakota Agricultural Experi- ment station. • It is one of the very best of the dry land crops and is particularly valuable for seed to be used in the manufacture of linseed oil. Among other things, he ' that the best types of oil seeds in flax are developed in a region where there is an abundance of sun - days good acres shine, a bright clear sky, warm and cool nights; upon a soil of fertility for cereal production.
