During the visit to Billings last week f the officers and the directors of the .'eat Northern, Northern Pacific andl .arlington railways, J. J. Hill, manager .1' the three great systems, had the to) - wing to :say of this section of Mon- ,thia, referring to the country at large the Yellowstone valley: • have seen in this vicinity more idences of future wealth, and I see Letter things, than I have observed \'ice we left the best parts of Washing- ton and though they have gtxxl things also in that state they are limited by t he side of yours. \You have got the things which make any community Whieh is so fortunate as to possess them, great, the soil, the Water and the climate. This broad ex- panse of farming land is the richest heritage you, your children and your children't4 chlidren mind possibly en - Soy. \From what I have seen, I should say there is no place 'in the whole country where one, could get a better invest- ment than in Yelh(watone calamity land. very acre of this land should bring , for.it is worth it, and will pay 10 canton an investnient at that price. .\11 we take the ratio of increase in pdpula.tion for the last 20 years and apply it to the next 42 years it would show that in 14450 we will have a popu- lation of 20a,000,000. In other words, it doubles .in about 80 years. Not so with our farm productions, which have inoreatied but 20 per cent in 25 years, while the population has increased more than 64 per cent in the same time'. •There must be more systematic fanning. The land must be made to yield larger returns. Converging lines mast meet somewhere,' and for that reason there will never be • any more cheap .. wheat. It must bring $1 per bushel and I believe it \The men who have built up this great •country are very largely thew who have waked with their halide and heads. The man who has his feet on the land is the anchor of the country, as 'lie always has been and will con- tinne tube. \I have seen great things here, things which I never expected to see, and it is certainly encouraging. You have the land, which produces fruit, grain and roots. You are to be con- gratulated. You and those who come after you will be benefitted. \The man who ha's a good farm and cultivates it properly is a prince, for the farmers are the foundation and bulwark of any' country which prospers. To day France is the 'hanker nation of the world. She has no mining resonreeM but her source of wealth is the frugal, industrious farmer. Compare France with Spain who was never paid any at- tention to farming. The country which depends upon agriculture Will win, therefore take good care of your farms. No man is too intelligent , to be a good fanner. \When the Baring Bros.' bankers' i stile of 1890, brought on by their specu- lation in the lands of Argentina. en- sued, the firm seemed about to lose everything. Eighty-five millions were tied up with their speculations. \ \It was then that the . bunkers of Lendon, realizing that this indebted- ness was secure(' by the rich agricul- • iral land of the South America repub- . stepped in and assumed the liabili- t It's of Baring Bros. and liquidated the indebtedness France also came for - N% ard and offered to advance $15,000,- IMO to $20,000,000. \I mention these things merely to helater up my argument, that the beet investments are agriculture lands, such as yon have about you on every aide. \Again I say, you have everything -re to make you prompemns. contented Id happy.\ rotation. Alfalfa, brome grass and bar- ley make the best forage. Flax suc- ceeds well on dry land. Feed as much stock on the farm as possible. Sell the crop in the concentrated form. \Don't attempt to plant too much ground. the first season. It will pro- duce a double harvest after a season of cultivation. Crop the land only in al- ternate years. Flax, oats, barley and vegetables may be sown to tide the set- tler over the first year, but the more land he plows and summer tills for next year'a crop the better off he will be in the long run. \Do not sow alfalfa until the second or third season after breaking, making sure of good tilth and reserve moisture; then sow the seed without a nurse crop, as early in the season as possible.\ Alaska -Yukon Pacific Exposition. The sale of V150,000 worth of exposi- tion bonds has removed the last ob- stacle to the success of the Alaska - Yukon -Pacific exposition and it is now certain that the 1909 fair will have the distinction of being the first big exposi- tion to be entirely completed in time for the opening' date. The progress that is being made on the construction of the building* and grounds is a guar- ' antee that no detail will be left unfin- ished when the fair is formally opened June 1, 1909. When it was announced that an ad- ditional $3.10,000 ,was required to curry on the work outlined by the expotitition management the people of Seattle re- sponded promptly to the call for funds amid the entire 'amount was subscribed within a Week 'after the actual canvass was commenced. With this additional fund on hand the management of the exposition took- immediate steps to en- large the scope of construction. Already three of the perinanentbuild- ings are . finished and are ready to be turned over to t ington at the close of the fair. By the first of the new year the fourth perma- nent building will be completed and a number of temporary structures finished. The mining palace and the fisheries building and the hospital and fire sta- tion are in use and the Oregon building, the first state building to be completed, is ready to receive exhibits. Oregon will begin the shipment of its exhibit about January lat. The first consign- ment will be 3,000 boxes of apples, which will be placed in the cold storage plant, in the basement of the Oregon building, until within a few weeks of the opening date. Remarkable progress has been made on the construction of the California state building and this structure will be completed not later than January 1. Work has been commenmd on the Washington state building, which is to be one of the permanent structures to be turned over to the University at the close of the fair.. The plans for the United States gov- ernment building have been approved and the contract ter the construction will be awarded in about ten days. Work on the grounds is in excellent shape. The site of 240 acres has been entirely cleared anti graded and roads and paths laid out. Acres of green lawns give a refreshing appearance and the mild climate of Puget Sound will make it possible to transplant a great many of the more hardy flowers dnring the winter months. There are in all about a million plants in the • green houses and when these are set out and in bloom the ground's will be a veritable mass of beautiful dowers, clinging vines and green shrubbery.

Directors Meet and Accept Ditch— Ready for Use in Spring. The board of directors of the Big Horn Low Line Ditch held a meeting the first of the week and accepted the ditch from the contractors. On Wednee- day a final meeting was held in Billings for the purpose of settling with the contractors. It was the intention of the directors to turn water into the ditch this fall but owing to the failure of the county to get in the four steel bridges, the al - sence of which would prevent crossing the ditch with water in it, that has been deferred until spring. A short test has been made, however, which has convinced the directors that it is all right and will carry the required amount of water. • The canal is 16 miles in length and will carry water for the reclamation of 10,000 acres of valuable land north of Hardin. Actual construction work was commenced on the project in June of this year and is the arst canal along the Big Horn in Montana to be completed. Every acre of land under the ditch has been taken by homesteaders and a large proportion of it will be under cul- tivation within a couple of years. It is estimated that at lewd one half of the total acreage will he cropped next year. The completion of the ditch marks the beginning of the transformation of the country from a desert to a gar- den spot unequalled in the entire arid west. Sheridan To Miles City. A dispatch from Helena dated the 16th says: Articles of incorporation of the Mon- tana & ,Southern Wyoming Railway company were filed with Secretary of State Yoder to day. The incorporators who are supfs, a d to represent the Northwestern, re R. H. Walsh, W. G. Birkhauser, S. Robison,' E. M. Hol- brook and M. Moncrieff of Sheridan. The principal place of •busineee+ is Sheri- dan and Miles City is the.principal place of business in Montani, with H. B. Whi- lley as state agent. The capital of the !company is given at $5,000,000, and on that capitalization the state received a filing fee of $695. The articles say no part Of the capita/ stock has been Paid in, but _that the survey to , Miles City has cost $20.000 and the right of way between Sheridan and Miles City is worth $100,000. . Under the articles the company is au- thorized to build a tine of railroad from Sheridan to the Tongue river at its juuction with the Montana -Wyoming line, thence into and through Montana and\ such other states as the directors may determine. The New Fast Train. It is asserted that the visit to the Pacific coast of George B. Harris, presi- dent of the C., B. & Q., and Darius Miller, 'vice-president of the same line and traffic director of the Hill systems, was for the purpose of arranging for a fast train from Portland to Billings and from there to Chicago over the Bur- lington, this train to compete with the fast trains on the Harriman lines, be- tween the same point.; for the privilege of carrying the United States mail from the north coast to Chicago. The train should it materialize, Will be placed in operation in February March. and it ,is probable that by *eat time many other changes will have r been made by the Great Northern ,!(ul the Northern Pacific preparatory to hand- ling the vast travel expecteal into the northwest next year.
