Montana so long as the railroads continue to route travelers through to the coast. If these same rail- roads are now ready to do anything for the state, the Worktfor one, is willing that they should have what- ever they deem prudent to ask for. And there is a suspicion on the STANFORD, MONT., NOVEMBER 6, 1909 part of this journal that the loudest talking done at Billings was indulg- BACK TO THE FARM ed in by paid professors from the various agricultural colleges and representatives from the depart- ment of agriculture in Washington. This paper hears with suspicion anything that men of this charac- ter may have to say. Their inter- ests are oftimes not what they pro- fess. They take the people's money and then go galavanting around the country seeking to impress people with the wisdom they possess. Not many months ago the World. had occasion to call the attention of its readers, to the fact that Montana state money which was appropriat- ed for farmers' institutes was being used to advertise and organize a state grange, a secret society, which though it may be a good thing, should have no place in the pro- gram of a farmers' institute held under the auspices of the state of Montana. - The place for these professional farmers is on the farm. Those of the state papers of Mon- tana which have seen fit to side with the theorists and cranks in re- gard to the changing of the name of the organization known as the Dry Land Farmer's Congress, show a woeful ignorance of the practical work of colonization. For years it was the hugh and cry of Montana papers and commercial bodies that the railroads were discriminating I against Montana. That they were taking settlers through the state and locating them on the coast and in other western states, when the op- portunities for these same settlers were greater in this state. The argument was a good one, and so far as this paper is aware, the rail- roads never denied the charge. To straignten the record, we refer to this. Now, however, the railroads have come to Montana, and have said that they were ready to do some- thing for the state. But that they desired that no handicap be impos- ed upon them by excessive adver- tisement of the state as a dry and arid country. The railroads were ready to undertake the task, but did not feel that the citizens of this state should impose a hardship upon them, and make the job many times more difficult than it is at present. This paper does not view the sug- gestion put forth by Mr. Hill of the Great Northern and other railway men in the light that many of the delegates present at the Billings congress professed to. It is true that the leaders, in this new and scientific method of soil culture have done a great deal for the west. But left alone, and unaided by the railroads, they could not in one million years settle the western country by their puny efforts. To be honest about the matter. the very session of the congress at Billings, which was the most successful yet held, would have been a tame affair had not the Great Northern, North- ern Pacific and the Burlington rail- roads extended support in every way known to them.

Secretary Bal- linger having in answer to petitions from the citizens of northern Mon- tana canceled the Rocky Boy with- drawal and allotment thereby throw- ing open to settlement a large tract of the best land in the state. The action of the interior depart- ment in the matter can scarcely be over estimated in its effect upon the settlement of the northern portion of the state, and relieves an embar- rassing situation. To President L. W. Hill, of the Great Northern, more than to any other single individual, is due the credit for securing the opening of the land in question. Mr. Hill and a party of his guests enroute to the Dry Land Farming Congress visited the withdrawn land and wired the --following protest to the interior department: \A party representative of the commercial and press interests of Minnesota and Montana traveled over 115 miles yesterday in the ter- ritory about Culbertson, Montana, inquiring into the withdrawal of a million acres --48 full townships and 23 part townships—set aside for Rocky Boy Indians, a Canadian band of renegade Crees, who do not speak or understand the language of any United States Indians.

Your alloting agent, Armstrong, left Glas- gow this morning for Culbertson. We strongly urge that you wire him to hold action until all parties have4 been heard from on this subject. The department evidently does not appPbciate the quality of this land. There is no better opportunity for homeseekers in America. There is no objection to this band of Indians being located in some remote moun- tainous portion of the state, that will never be required by white men for agricultural purposes and agriculture is something that does not interest this band. They have spent the last two years in begging in the large cities of Montana, !lel- ena, Butte, etc. We think that your department owes it to these cities in relieve them of the charge. The !natter has been up for a long time and the Fort Peck Indians say they will not accept these Indians as neighbors. We have the interests of the United States Indians at heart as well as the white man, but want to see a square deal.\ This petition was supplemental to many which had gone before, and which had the indorsement of the Montana delegation in congress as well as the entire people of the state. A story is going the rounds for which Senator Carter is said to be sponsor. The senator was aboard an eastbound Northern Pacifie train the other day and as usual they stopped at Garrison ten minutes for lunch. A man stepped off the bag- gage car leading a dog by the chain. Just then the lady who sounds the call for dinner on a big triangle hang- ing near the lunch room door, start- ed to beat her usual tatoo. Where- upon the dog set up a great howl. Turning with a look of disgust and planting his foot with some force in the region of the dog's tail, the owner shouted, \Shut up, you fool, what are you hollerin' about? You don't have to eat here.\ Cement brick for sale $1.50 per hundred, $15.00 per thousand. A. H. Ross. Stanford.

The long looked for opening dance at the Geyser Hotel is booked for the 12th of this month. The hall has the best floor of any in this county and the hotel is a gem from \turret to foundation stone.\ Berges' orchestra from Great Falls will fur- nish the music, which is sufficient guarantee for its excellence. The work on the new road north of town is progressing finely. Su- pervisor Swanson has put a bridge across Hay creek near the home ranch, th i at s substantial and artis- tic, and if it was nearer town would be a trysting place for lovers. There are four huge boulders at the four corners, to prevent its floating away. They are connected on each side by cedar poles, making a railing just high enough to sit on. As the poles are round of course John would have to put his arm around Mary to keep her from falling in the creek and that would be nice for both. The Old Songs of the South The lovers of the good, old time melodies will be certainly well en- tertained sext Monday night at tht Mitchell & Packard Opera House with the delightful tunes of the old southern ballads of the times,\befo' de war.\ Culligan & Hockwald's minstrels have always been a com- pany especially selected by the management for their singing qual- ity. It has long been conceded that no one can get the harmony and music out of those songs like the real darkey. There is also added to the entertainment plenty of good clean comedy, and some of the lat- est and most popular ballads of the present -time. The show is especial- ly for ladies and children. There is nothing so entertaining as a good singing show, and the management of the colored minstrels certainly had that in mind, when he selected the present company. From the time the curtain goes up, there is alwas something doing, either in singing their old southern ballads, for which the negro is noted; or some of the latest songs of the day with the entire company singing the chorus. If you can afford only one show this seasen, don't miss this one, the best of all colored shows - 18 people. E. G. Warden, lawyer, First National Bel block, Both phones 127, Lewistown, Montana.
