The Fourth Dry Farming Con- gress which wille be held at Bil- lings, Mont., October 26-28 repre- sents a movement that extends far beyond the limits of,our state, be- yond the borders of the United States. In fact it is a world move- ment, and the importance of the session of the congress to be held at Billings cannot be over esti- mated. Not a man interested lit farming, whether it be as a dry fernier or an irrigation farmer, can afford to remain away from these meetings if it is possible for him to attend. In connection with this congress the Internation- al Dry Farming Exposition will be held, and this display of dry farm products should exceed even that of the state fair. This con- gress and exposition furnishes one of the best opportunities for advancing the developement of the resources of the state, for it will be attended by people from many other states; and every county in the state of Montana should have on exhibition its dry farm products and send its full quota of representative farmers. Will Jefferson county be there? Delegates -to this congress may be appointed 118 follows: By the governor, 20; by the mayor, 10; by the county commissioners, each 10 delegates; state agricultural, com- mercial, forestry. horticultural and livestock associations, each, 5 delegates; local branches of these bodies, chambers of commerce or clike r rlocal coniniercial bodies, two delegates. Those in Jeffet;son county em- powered to make these . appiiint- ments should tagrinni - teeate sc- ion if they have not already done so. Agriculture is the backbone and sinew of this nation, and a knowledge of the science of agri- culture is necessary to the great- est success;. The Billings congress offers an opportunity to add to our scientific knowledge. NOT ALWAYS TRUE An exchange says the following is a very truthful remark: \The man who grows up in his native town is regarded as a boy by his elders until he is well start- ed down the declivity of life that ends in a hole. The stranger who comes into a place is more often pushed to the front than the young man who has grown up with the town. This is the reason why so many young men become dissatis- fied with their home surroundings and long to cast their lot in other qua rtf rs. \ If that is true at all it is only true in rare instances. On the contrary, when he shows that be possesses the qualities of manhood he is recognized as a man. If he goes down the \declivity . of life that ends in a hole,\ it is usually his own fault and not that of the \straager.\ The trouble with that kind of a boy is that he never awakens to the consciousness of true manhood; that he starts down the \declivitsf\ with•the idea that any other town is better than his home town. Ile has never suceed- ed at anything at home, and he has a great longing to find some place where his ability will be appreciat- ed, so he starts down the slope and finds it \in a hole.\ Meantime the \strange: who comes into the place\ and ia'more often pushed to the front lies been making good at home; and he is pushed to the front, not because he calk looking for a better town than his own, but because he had been successful there:Slid because he had in him the elements ne- cessary to win success anywhere. Senator Nelson W. Aldrich tells his Paris friends tl at the sole re- maining ambition of his public life is to assist in endowing the United States with a financial system as solid as that of Great Britain . or France. We hope the senator will include in his endow- ment an automatic attachment for revising the system, whenever re- vision may he necessary. The Porto Festival Scarcely will the A laska-Yiikon Pacific exposition be closed before the Portola festival begins (Oct: 19th) at San Francisco. The city will then begin a five -days cele- bration to commemorate the dis- covery of San Francisco Bay in 1769 by Don Gaspar Portola and the phoenix -like resutreition of the city from the ashes. In forty months San Francisco has built a magnificent city upon the ground where, in 1906, lay the moulding ruins of 28,000 buildings, and . the new city invites the world to cele- britfe with her. England's North Pacific fleet will be there; warships from Italy, Germany and Holland will be there; a Japanese prince is on the way and the cousin of the Chinese.emperor and two cruisers will come; diplomats from France and Spain wi:1 be the.° and all will participate in the great jubilee. Sao Francisco will eyei d a half million dollars in entertaining her guests. COLONY OF POLES WILL SETTLE IN THE YELLOW. STONE VALLEY. Sixteen fhousand Acres Purchased Near Glendite. Billings, Oct. 6.—Three thou- sand Polish families are coining to Montana to acquire homes. The greater portion of them will estab- lish a colony in the vicinity of Glendive, although some nifty take land in the Judith basin district. I. N. Hill. of Glendive, has just closed negotiations with the r 'pre- sentativcs of the coming colonists and announces that the families will arrive and occupy the lands during the Coining twelve months. Mr. Hill was in Billings Yester- day, accompanied by Rev. Theo- dore Suck, of Russian Poland, and Stanley Mankowski, of Si attle, Wash., and Posen, Germany, who have concluded the negotiation for an immense acreage near Glen - dive for the Polish colonists. They spent a day or two at Glendiye 2nd have just returned from the Judith basis where they looked over the land. Father Suck bought 840 acres in Dawson county, along the Yellowstone river opposite Hoyt station on the Northern Pacific. A townsite will be established on this. In the center of the tract, ten acres has been set aside for a site for a church, parochial school and con t vent. From this center four avenues, or boulevards, 120 feet wide will form a great cross, divid- ing the entire tract into quarters. Tress will be planted along these boulevards and on the church site and in the course of a few years, it is expected, the center of this tract will present the appearance of a beautiful park. The town - site will be ,divided into building lots 50 by 150 feet. which will be taken by the colonists. Altogether sonic 16,000 ecres is included in the deal for the pro posed colony. Mr. Hill said he expected about 8,000 families would be settled ,upon the laud within the next year. They are not impecunious immigrant*, but well to do and even wealthy people from both Russiap and German Poland. Of those who will occupy the land taken by Father Suck, that gentlemen said probably a dozen would arrive here with leas than $1500, none with less than $900, or oo i,1,.000. and the others with antounts ranging from $1,500 to as high its $50,000. many of them having about $20,000 to $25,000. Mr. 11111 said one Polish count Mici had heard of the opportunitiee for his people in Montana, had authorized the purchase of 25,000 acres for persons not Included in the colonist* mentioned above, but who will come to America in the near future. In the vicinity of the site select- ed for the proposed colony in Dawson county, dry farming land is now selling for $12 to $15 an acre. This is a region which has recorded butnper harvests this year. Five years ago this land was sold at an average of less than $3 an acre. THE BELTON CASE Secretary of the Interior Says State May Select Lieu Lands. _ A Helena special to the Standard says: Under a ruling by Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, the state of Montana hits sustained a reversal of its cunt( nt on a. to the owner- ship of sections 16 and 1;6 in all townships of the state, where they are situated within forest or other got ernment reservations. This is another phase of the question over title to these lands which has exist- ed for sonic time, which question the suite board of land commission- ers directed the attorney general to take up with the secretary of the interior, with the view of bringing about an amicable adjust- ment. In considering the so-called Bel- ton case, the secretary of the In- terior states that he is without jurisdiction. hut expresses his opinion as to the merits of the issue. The secretary bolds that where such sections are found to be within government reserves. the commonwealth may make lieu selections elsewhere and that it may take these selections even prior to the survey of the reserve where it is knots n that such lands will be contained therein. Ile holds further that the selec- tions by the state do not become final until the report of the sur veyor has become accepted by the , interior department. 'flue state land board held it meeting to consider this later opinion of the secretary and the matter was again referred to tie attorney general for an opinion as to the state's rights. The land board does not accept as final the decision of the secretary, and tl.e matter may be taken to the courts for determination. This may or may not be preceded by. the force- ful ejection of the forestry officers from the 80 acres near Belton, which forms the real bone Of con- tention, although nearly 1,000,000 acres are involved. A Miner's Inch The term \miner's inch\ re- presents a varyim; quantity in different localities. The Institu- tion of Mining and Metallurgy has recently agreed that it \miner's inch\ should be equiva- lent to a flow of 1.b cubic feet of 1 . water per minute. They advised the abandonment of the tem and NUMBER 84 that the 'peel& flow in . wafer per minute, or per second, in , cubic feet or gallons be used. --Mining Science. THE TABLE KNIFE Cardinal Richelieu Responsible for its Rounded find Until the seventeenth contu / ry knife blades had pointed ends,: as can readily be understood when the knife of those days was used for hunting and table purposes in- discriminately. The rounded end was introduced from France in a curious way. It happened that Cardinal Riche• lieu was compelled to entertain at his table a certain Chancellor Sequier- a vulgar and unmanner- ly man, who at the close of the meal proceeded to use his knife as It toothpick. This Yulgar act so upset the cardinal that he cot dered the end of every knife - in his pos- session to be rounded, and so great was Richelieu's - influence that the fashion was soon adopted all over the country. This is the vulgar but neverthelesa. interest- ing origin of the rounded knife of today.—Tit Bits. Eighty Acres of Crabs Frank Ileacpe, a large land-hold- er near Belgrade, Mont., has let a contract for the setting out and caring for eighty acres of apple trees, adjoining the eastern limits of Belgrade. An expert °rehired- ist from Colorado will superintend the business and it will be set out in the Transcendent crab variety, for which there is a growing de- mand in the east.
