STANFORD, MONT., SEPTEMBER 25, 1909 AN APPRECIATION -- The World wishes to acknowledge the services of Eugene McKnight which were extended to it last week in preparation of the regular Satur- day edition of the great family weekly. Mr. McKnight, who has won fame throughout Montana as the editor of the \Pink Pill,\ is an accomplished newspaper mati,and is possessed of a literary style pleasing and versatile. He was the editor of the Stanford World last week while other business occupied the atten- tion of the regular editor. Being erudite, and democratic he naturally holds some ideas in advance of other people, and this is true of yours truly. Being some- thing old fashioned, the regular scribe wishes to state that he con- tinues to hold the tenets of the paper as expressed many times in its columns and has therefore, not changed the politics of the paper. Richard is himself again, which may be good news to some, while others will probilbly not be gratified. IS HEINZE COMING BACK? This week the World received in its mail from Butte a marked copy of the Butte Evening News, which as everyone knows, is the personal property of F. Augustus Heinze, containing an editorial written by the paper's brilliant editoi, Dick Kilroy. The article was written anent Mr. Heinze's vindication by the United States courts for the state of New York, after he had been under indictment for two years for infringment of the United States banking laws. The article did not give Mr. Heinze any the worst of it, as it may be presumed. If there was any wrong that F. Augustus had ever suffered which it did not relate, the World pleads guilty of knowledge thereof. But the sipifioance of the story is better to be found in what immedi- ately followed, for close upon the heels ofahe vindication story was a plea for a new political party hav- ing for its tenets the policies of Roosevelt. As a political manipulator Mr. Heinze has no superior anywhere, for to hint alone may be attributed the conditions which sent the Hon- orablePitm Andrews Clark to the United States senate. To use a gambler's, - -ixPression they were in and in. .1 - What Willie could hope to ac- complish In . Montana with a new political party, is beyond the grasp of the layman. ,but his wisdom was always beyond the grasp of the average man The World, with nothing to base its opinion on ex- cept the article in the News, ex- presses the opinion that Montana has not seen the last of F. Augustus Heinze in a political way, and when he starts in again it will be in the independent way, with the policies of Roosevelt as a slogan. This paper does not believe the people of Montana would rally to the support of the policies so enthu- siastically as Mr. Heinze antici- pates, and that he himself, although possessed of a remarkable follow- ing, will find the popularity that once made him the idol of the Butte miner greatly dissipated. Significant of the growth of the great Judith Basin in Montana is the rapid increase in the banking institutions of the territory. Not long after the World came to Stan- ford there was inaugurated in this city one of the county's best young banks, with some of the best known men of the community on its board of directors, and since that time a handsome building, which would be a credit to a city of fifty thousand inhabitants, has been erected. This week the World received from Buf- falo—by the way, one of the best little burgs in the Basin—that a bank, to be called the First State Bank of Buffalo, was organized at that place, with the Hon. B. C. White, one of the county's most popular old timers, as its president. The board of directors consists of S. S. Hobson, B. C. White, W B. Shiell, 0. W. Belden, Josiah Pope - joy, W. M. Buckles. C. A. Gageby, A. P. Greene and J. M. Miller. The town of Buffalo will be one of the best cities of the Gap country, and will make some of her older sister cities in that section go some to beat her out. There is one thing certain (octane from the Billings dry land farming congress, and that is the adnajration of all the newspapers of the state for that extremely nervy gentleman who is working them for advertis- ing space. From the dry land farm- ing congress he should be able to draw the advance man's salary of any attraction on earth, and save the management all advertising ex- penses. With Heinze mixed up in the next campaign, a great many dem- ocrats would he turned from the bitter wail which goes up at every state convention lately at the lack of funds with which to create the old time enthusiasm. It takes a lot of red fire and other things to make a good democrat, and the new party would certainly have the attractions. If this north pole argument keeps up much longer it will begin to seem plain to the most of us that both Cook and Peary are cheerful liars. Big crop yields are so common in this section that it is beyond the capabilities of any newspaper to record them. - - The Judith Basin for wheat, and Stanford for t'.e market.

MOORE, MONTANA. Young Woman Succeeds as Dry Farmer in Montana At Miles City, Montana, the prin- cipal cafes are being supplied with corn and vegetables from a dry farm i operated by Miss Anna C. H. Christensen, a young trained nurse, who gave up the practice of her profession in New York City to take tip a homestead ten miles from Fal- lon no Spring creek. Practically alone and unaided she has made her improvements and put in her crops, studying thoroughly dry farm meth- ods of cultivation. Miss Christen- sen recently told the story of her success to a member of the Montana Roan! of Control of the Fourth Dry Farming Congress which will hold its session at Billings, Montana, Oc- tober 26-28. She said : I came from New York last year because I found the work of my profession too confining. Having heard of the opportunities for secur- ing homestea s in this state. I canoe here to in tigate and located may homestead on Spring creek. It limked very much like an uphill task, but I have kept at it pretty , persistently and iny health has been good. The rest did not matter so much. Of course I have seen something of what my iieople would call hard- ships, but I believe now I can see success, and I feel that I shall have a home and a business and, most of all, good health. \I have tried to make a careful study of dry 1:11 . 111illg Methods and when I was in doubt I have gone t o the books for assistance. Most of my work has necessarily been on a limited scale. but it has been broad enough so that I feel sure that it will pay well when I get my plans in operation Of iliurse I am very notch gratified to find that the pro- duct I am trying to market is of a superior quality and the prices are very good. Would I advise women to under- take forming? Not as a rule. Un- less it woman has a special liking for it and a whole lot of courage to take bold of the difficulties that COMP up she had better not try it, Many women could make a success of it undoubteu Ily. but it means a lot of hard effort to win. Contractor Talks About Work on B. & N. Cutoff A. Cook of Helena. who has the contract for the building of the cut- off from Belt to Gerber, on the Bill- ings & Northeru m. and who is now in Great Falls looking after the work of transporting his machinery and equipment to points along the line where it will be used. has been in- crvied by the Tribune, and furnish - a representative of that paper with the following information: Mr. Cook stated that he would have his principal Office at some L,mvenient point along the line that N to be followed , . Farmers oiBranch Lines May Compete for Prizes --- — J. H. Hall, commissioner of agri- culture,labor,industry and publicity, says the Montana Record, is in re- ceipt of a reply to his recent letter to *lathes J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern railway, in which the state official sought a broader scope as to the area from which farm exhibits might be taken to compete for the prizes offeredly Mr. Hill, which are to be awarded at the Omaha expo- sition, soon to be held. The letter is from Thomas Shaw, to whom the letter was referred by Mr. Hill for reply. It says: \With reference to limitation of the prizes to within twenty-five miles of the Great Northern railway, I may say that the statement will be given the most liberal interpre- tation in making the awards. The intention is to have exhibits brought for competition for these prizes to come within the zone, so to speak, proper to the Great Northern road. \Exhibits may come from areas along the Montana Central and the Billings & Northern lines. While Montana products will not be al- lowed to compete with other states in this particular competition, they will have a chanCe to compete at Omaha with all the states of the division to which they belong, if so entered. Parties should be careful to enter them properly. I hope to attend your fair at Helena and can then give any further information wanted.\ Mr. Hall informed the donor of the prizes for the displays of farm products that Montana feared not competition with other states, and quoted statistics to show the greater fecundity of , Montana soils.

Osness was in town from his ranch near Knerrville last Monday. M. H. Poole was in from his plow- ing job in Fergus county last Sun- day. Miss Nora Lane is assisting Mrs Hedman, in the hotel, for a short time. Miss Heisey our popular school teacher, spent last Sunday in Great Falls. Mr. and Mrs. Win. Skelton went to Great Falls Tuesday, to complete the sale of their ranch. %Vim Skelton has sold the ranch on which he lives to a - party from Idaho, who will move on this fall. Mrs. D. Richards of Kendall, who who has been visiting Mrs. S. C. Purdy, returned to her home last Monday. A Mr. Montgomery, from Illinois, was looking over the Shannon ranch the first of the week with a view to purchasing it. Miss Georgie Lane, who hasj been visiting Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Benecict, returned to her home on upper Otter creek last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. William Kernegan came into town Monday in an auto, as the guests of Rich. Bodkins and Mr. Conrad of Great Falls. C. H. Cobb went to Stanford last week and filed on an additional homestead adjoining his present lo- cation but in the other county. Peter Van was] in town Monday. from his ranch at the foot of the mountains, and reported that the season is a little backward there. John Burns, the assistant road - master of this division, was here Monday, looking for land. It is re- ported that he found what he wanted. Oscar Swanson has just received a new road machine, a sort of a cross between a sulkey plow and a scraper, They say it will do very good work, though. The county attorney has filed in- formation against Jack Ervin for the burglary of Purdy's store. The prosecution of the case for robbing the postoffice has not been started yet. Dr. Finfrock went to Lewistown and filed on the eighty south of his original entry, and the two home- steaders on section six each made an additional homestead filing last week. - Flue county commissioners have accepted the survey of the new road from section 18, through this town and north, to connect with the Cora road, and they have ordered it built. This means very much to this town, as good roads always help the towns as well as the farm- ers. Canary Seed Grass Grown By Fergus County Farmers A nice crop of canary seed grass was grown by Dr. Haycraft at his ranch near Straw this season, says . • the Lewistown correspondent of the Dudley Axtell i Montana Record, and samples of it have been secured for the Fergus county exhibit at the state fair. The crop yielded 16.5 bushels of seed to the acre, and this finds a ready market in St. Paul At from '$4_50 to $5.00 per hundred. This 1 makes the crop quite a profitable one, and the seed may be cultivated ;on a larger scale in the future.
