Ilk walinglimi•Prili711111111111 • THE BROAD WATER Devoted To Broadwater's VutlE i CREAMERY BUILDER NOW IN TOWNSEND INSTITUTION WILL BE A GRAND SUCCESS The Broadwater creamer) . is an assured success. The money is all subscribed, the builder is here. the site is located, arrangaments have been made for lumber, the work will soon be in progress and all conservative men must agree that this is a step in the right di- rection ; a long and paying step, too. One of the characteristics of human nature is doubt mixed with hesitation and this trait has encumbered man even from the first of his existence. In ancient times it was so and it is so today. The Israelites. en- cumbered, enslaved in the Egyp- tian bondage was wanting faith in their deliverer—the light that was to guide them to the promised land. When that oh l law giver had them on the shore of the Red Sea with a mountain upon the right and upon the left and with Pita- roah's army in the rear, they cried out in dimbtful . discontent that Moses had led them from the graves of their fathers and from the flesh pots of Egy -. 0141 1 7 - erish i\: - e'd Sea. But stretched forth the \ rd \ ,,,,„,/ t he waters stood back and , a clear passage was effected they ...crossed over safely ,and joined in the sohg of deliverance. M en hesitated to support Co- luinlm-. 1 / 4 in his project of disci o - - ed to fall in with the ie,egrap 1. Alone and the steamboat. and, • . 111 fat*everv step of progressioi that we have ever f made has beet bitterly fought and exactingly j ui al tcs, i•d on every CI I al- l'enges have otit mail e o w v i c _ tory more defined, and the success more safely guaranteed when once established. 1' here is not iii I ire suceessiful than genuine sue - t' RECIPROCITY AT HOME. ,so nation can prosper with a directive scheme of reciprocity. Commercially nations are depen- dent upon each other even as the different organs of the human anatomy are indispensible factors in the mechanism. Broadwater county is an epitome of the uni- verse, the interests of our people are identical whether he counts money in the bank, sells merchan- dise, keeps hotel, takes care of public office, teaches, preaches, works on a ranch, raises stock or milks cows; and the w.ell regu- lated municipality reffects from the center to circumference just as the heart propels the blood to the most remote parts of the body. The creamery proposition natural- ly recolves itself into two major interrogations. First, will it ma- terially help the rancher? Will it put $ $ $ into his jeans? The hub of the creamery is not the \man with the hoe, - but rather the man with the cow. Will it he'l l _ pz_iv his _debts? Will it t new honse? Wiil neip Weep the children in school ? The best method of arriving at a satisfactory answer is by compari- son. The best established scien- tific law is that like causes pro- duce like effects. Are ranchers making money in the dairy busi- ness where the creamery is es- tablished? Yes. Have they a bet- ter grade of cattle than we can have? No. Can we produce the proper feed? Yes. Let us turn to the facts. Montana in 1902 produced silver and copper to the amount of $38.00o,o(x). Michigan produced butter and cheese to the amount of $36,000,000. Nev York in 1890 produced creamery products amounting to $26,557,- 880. The census of two shows an increase of 84 per cent. Wis- consin in 1890 produced $20,140,- 127, while 1900 shows an increase of 189.1 per cent. In 1890 Iowa produced $15,88846,077, and 1900 registered an increase of 60.3 per cent. In 1890 Illinois produced $12,879,296, 1900 showed an in- crease of 60.9 per cent. Will it pay ? it pay in Montana? Let us see.

Land, like everything tangible, wear- out unless it Is cared for. The (lair\ I nm-ine.ss protects the land and feeds it, and builds it up. When von ship your hay it leaves the ranch v4nir grain the iry business htit the lizer is not 'beat takes trill and N41011ars ; w 0 rt ii and io- kicovrE mArbKE T. d Aliontana has a agair4 her on butter annually.

The dairy inductry concentrates your money. • At the end of each month you get your check, then you can trade where you please and get the very best rates. HELPS THE MERCHANT. Whatever helps the farmer must help the merchant. If the farmer can pay cash or settle his bills monthly he not only gets the benefits of a cash basis but en- ables the merchant to receive the same favor from the wholesale house. The dairy business puts the community Dn a cash basis, and the system needs no argu- ment. STOP AND THINK. How many cows have you? Six, ten, twelve? What are they do- ing for vou? Five months in each Year they are raising a calf. which you sell for about $7, 1111 less it happens to he an extra good one, and then you get but $1o. The other seven months they do nothing except eat up the feed You have worked so hard to make for them. In other words, they are lady boarders of the bo- vine species, for seven months of the year, devouring your sub- stance and giving you nothing in return for it. It is time to get rid of those bovine boarders or man- age some way to realize on them. The claim of the dairymen that they realize more money from a given number of cows than can he obtained by feeding an equal num- ber of steers is very generally ad- mitted. The first use that both the cow and steer make of their food is to maintain their normal condition. The remaining nwri- tion that the cow extracts she yields up to the Owner every twelve hours, in payment for ma- terial furnished and care be stowed. Not so with the steer. The accumulation of today he puts upon his back, and for car- rying it must have an additional amount °flood for support. The best he can do is to make a will in your favor by which you shall at his death inherit his accumula- tions inure or less. The point is that the cow by daily separating her accumulations from her or- ganism keeps herself in the best possible working condition. There is no call for any increase in her food for support and she will con- tinue to work as a food converter many years with increased rather than diminished results; while the steer from the first day he is fed to the day of his death gives a daily lessened product in propor- tion to food consumed. lohn Randolph once rose in his seat in congress and shouted at the top of his. voice: \I have found the philosopher's stone. It is pay as you go—pay as you go.\ The cow pays as she goes and if given a fair chance will extract more wealth from the soil of Mon- tana than has ever been yielded by her mines. As you must agree, an industry that will enable the farmer to con- vert the product of his farm into a concentrate and that one of a high market value is a great bene- Co to die farmer, for instead of hauling his hay, corn and so 011 to market and selling it, as he is often compelled to do for less than actual cost of production, by his milk to the creamery, have it separated, carry his skim milk home with him and feed it to his pigs and calves and by so doing. the skim milk is worth more than the expense of hauling - and the only thing - that he is removing _ from his land is the butter fat, which would be of no benefit if placed back on the land, and he ;s improving his land each day, and at the same time he has the pro- duct of his farm converted into an article of :lie highest market value and one for w hich the demand is far in excess of the s; t ipply.

Th e y have ;Arra get with N , u-ton &.1 - Son for lumber, and \Ir. Miller. who comes here as an expert in his line, stated to The Citizen that the creamery would be fin- ished in about six weeks from the time of beginning. This paper is not afraid but ‘vhat the project will be a huge success—it must win— there is money in it. We are preparing - an article for this paper that will cover the ground front a viewpoint of statistics and will favor our readers with it in the near future. The matter is up to the farmers—it depends upon them. There is money in it and our people will look after the cows. FACTS AND FIGURES. 'Hie labor commissioner of Nlichig - an has been canvassing the beet sugar and butter and cheese industries throughout the state and has some interesting figures. They show that there are twen- ty-one beet sugar factories, repre- senting an investment of $12,000,- 000, yhose output for the past year was 150.0013,000 pounds of sugar. There are 350 butter and cheese factories scattered through thirty- six counties. These consumed during r9o3 an aggregate of 665,- 000,000 pounds of milk, from which was produced 15,124,119 pounds of butter and 33,374.381 pounds of - cheese valued at $36,- 000,000.—Montana Stockman and Farmer. HEAR PACE. This paper is informed that the details of the Townsend creamery have been arranged and the stock all subscribed. The builder of the Hastings Industrial company has arrived on the grounds and work will commence at once. The condition upon which the plant is being erected is that the people of Townsend are not to pay a dol- lar until the creamery is in ope- ration. The enterprise will grow and thrive, and it will not require any length of time for the ma- jority of the farmers within reach of the point to see its benefits. Mr. Hathaway, representing the Hastings company in this terri- tory, stated to the Stockman and Farmer that he would be glad to hear from the residents of any lo- cality in which a creamery enter- prise could be successfully run. He vill give the matter a thor- ough investigation and erect and start a creamery upon the plan that has been pursued at Town- send. There are a number of val- leys in this state where creameries and cheese factories can be suc- cessfully run, and Montana is as- suredly the best market in t h e country for these products. The average price in this state, the year around, is 25 cents per pound for butter, or e% en better than that.—Nlontana Stockman and Farmer. SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME.

At high 'mon. Wedneseay, the 27th, Robert R. Seaman of Liv- ingston was married to Mary B. Linebarger at the home of her parents, a few miles out of town, the Rev. C. D. Oanner officiating. The wedding was a quiet but beautiful affair. Only the imme- diate family and John R. !•;eaman of 'tune were present:. The groom is a conductor on the Northern Pacific railroad, while the bride is the beautiful] and ac- complished daughter of In. and Mrs. Linebarger, who have lived in our midst for some time. NIT - . and NI rs. Seaman left on the after- noon train for Helena. From there they go to Butte for a short visit, after which they will be at home to their many friends at Living- ston. When Mary Linebarger was three days old Robert Sea- man. then 20 years of age, visited the Linebargers, who then lived in Nebraska. He saw the i n f an t girl and fell in love at first sight. Later all the parties to the ro- mance came west, but were sepa- rated for fifteen years. Mr. Sea- man visited the family again but went. away without. committing himself. Two years later when Miss Linebarger had grown to be a beautiful young woman of sev- enteen Mr. Seaman returned and they were engaged. He then stayed away five years and re- turned to claim her for les own, and thereby Jacob of old loses the record of waiting and Mr. Seaman is entitled to the belt. This news- paper joins in congratulations. A TOUCHING SCENE. One morning this week, about 9 o'clock, a Citizen reporter dropped into the office of the Townsend house and this is what he saw: Seated in easy chairs, with their feet upon a table, each leisurely puffing a Lord Chancel- lor, sat John Hinds, J. R. Marks, Ben Code and Andy Simpson. Surprising as it may seem, they were talking about how hard they worked whent hey were young men. Each of those gentlemen, who are well known all over the county, began doing a man's work NUMBER 1 • f.00411.000.000*************************v.::: 000 .,„ 01 , 4 , 40 . 0 , 0 • • * PRICES ALWAYS THE LOWEST QUALITY ALWAYS THE BEST •4,44444+1 14444+ 144+H6+44444 4.4.4...4444.4444.44444441. ++++++ +44+ +++++++44+4 * • BERG BROS.

Agent Brooking ordered them to leave. They refused and were ejected from the room. On last Wednesday Sheriff Munden, armed xyith the proper papers, located and apprehended voting McNaughton in Helena and brought him back to Town- send. On the same afternoon he was arraigned in Judge Abbott's court and tried on the charge of vagrancy. After hearing the evi- dence the court ordered the de- fendant released and advised . him to leave town and go to work. GETTING RICH BY SMALL INVENTIONS. The New Jersey man who hit upon the idea of attaching a rub- ber erasing tip to the end of the lead pencil is worth $200,000. The miner who invented a metal rivet or eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat and trousers pocket, to resist the strain caused by the carriage of pieces of ore and heavy tools, has made more money from his letters patent than within ten years the man who hit upon the idea has made $250,000. Buying goods at the Berg Bros. store will bring about the same results. MUSICALE AND CONCERT. .-1t the Auditorium in this city on the evening of May 6, 1904, the Broadwater High School will pull off one of the best entertainments of the season. One of the leading features of the program will be an oratorical contest between two of Broad - water's most brilliant young men, Charles P. Cotter and Vere Mc- Carthy. In this contest those two boys measure swords to determine which shall represent our county in the state contest over in Mis- .onla. With either of the contest- ants in Missonla our county will not suffer.
