[XI= GET MY PRICES Before Building Herdin, Mont Yearly Sum From Agriculture Imposs• ble to Imagine. In all the circle of youl acquaintance, do you know 1)1 1 a single billionaire? I don't mean - do you think.' I mean -- do you know of a single capitilist who is really a billionaire? That is a lot af men y, you know, says Agnes C. Le,nt teems of the mint. You acknowledge frankly you- don't really know of a single billianaire in the history of the world. Much less do -you - know of any group of capitalists in the . workl whose combined wealth would make 20 billions and whose 20 billions pay a yearly dividend of sev.ei A dividend of $7,000.00J,teo a year means an income . .of $580.000,000 a ononth.or $19,000,000 a day. Talk to Midas? Any capitalist or group of cap- italists who had to take cure of that much money e day would have genaia. convulsions in frenziedfinance. • Such a capitalist, collectively, Is th. United States farmer. Such u di v ideni collectively, does the soil of the' Unite.. Seates yearly hand out to the farmer' Man. By the last census the capital in vested In agr.calture in the Unite). States WILS $20,000,000,000 and by tie last report of the agricultural depart mem the pnelucts of the farm - for 190. yeilded a grand teal of 7, 000,000,000. Compare these figures to the billion dollar steel trust, over which the wa )1( world went daffy a few years ago; atm the magnitude of the greatness of Dig- Ticuitureal interests in 'America become - apparent. In tact it would be hard t., put your handon a single department of industritl life, or constructive work in the United States, which.weuld com- pare in importance to the permanent value and yearly yields of farm. Then remember, too, that of all the manufac- turing interests in the United States 75 per cent, are dependme.nt on the farm for raw products. Andrew Carnegie on Optimism* Andrew Carnegie, who, is president of the Opomiat club, has written a letter to William J. Robinson, secretary and foundea of the same organization, in wpich he says; •\The opotimist is needed these days. Never was there so Much cause for ex- ultation. .Never has any century made 8J much * piogress : as the last. Instead of moaning over our imperfections, we should take a glance backward and re, joke that man was created with an in- stinct for turning' his face towatel the sun and absorbing of its spintualizing fight, always ascending and never re- treating; no limit to his ascent short of perfection. , This is the rock of salva- tion. All is well sicne all grows better - Success to the Optimists' club.'' Building Moved. Mr. W. Tolliver has secured the contract for moving the present build- ing of E. C. Spencer. Work was start- ed early this week has progressed nice- ly. The building was raised, put on roll- ers, and moved bodily around to its present location on . 2nd street next t45 the MaoDonald & Mouat meat market. Mr. Tolliver is to be complimented on the neat and .business like manner in which the building was moved. With the evception of a few breakable articles the entire stock of goods was left on the shidves. Mr. Spencer will commence work on his new building as soon as the machin- ery for constructing the cement blocks arrives, which ia expected the hitter part of the month. Exposition Rates Not Announced. In answer to a letter written by Sec- retary Brayton for information regard- ing railroad rates to Seattle during the exposit'oa, F. V. Dunham, director of special events, has answered as follows: „Replying tq your favor of March the 1 6, I would advise that the Northern Pa - 1 &fie rates have not yet been promulga- ti-1 It is my undoretanding that they to be on the basis of one and one- third fare from Montana 'points to the coast. \ Inc special dap% are assigned to the various cities and towns of the north- west in order that they may take advan- tage of them it they desire, to exploit and advertine their section. '•The arangments of details and mag- nitude of their work must of 8008881t depend altogether on the efforts of the citizens of the individual cities and towns whose names find a place on our program. but I am moist happy to state that in most instances this opportunity is being taken hold of most actively as a means of town and local exploitation. \Should you dec:de on any special features for Billings day, my committee will lend its efforts to see that the wid eat publicity and the heartiest co -opera ation is tendered you on this ocassion.\ July 14th has been set apart by the exposition management as \Billings day,\ but so far no arrangements re- garding the matter have been made here.—Billings Evening Journal. HOW TO DRAW TRADE. Hardin Business men Take Notice. That newspaper advertising has al- .,. .... ways proved to be the most profitable mode of peblicity for retail trade, was the statement made by R. D. Baldwin, a merchant of Fitehliurg, Mass., to the Pennsylvania Retail Hardwaie aesoci- atien, in canuention in Philadelphia. \Advertise in, the newspapers . first, hest and all the time,\ said sir. Bald- win. \This is the meet effective moth - of advertieine you retail men can adopt. The In est ejective method of advertesiug is t 13 ceneenteatien of th s 'ad.' upon :4J/113 one articie to be Sold the next day.

A young man there Was who wanted a wife, , Even as you and I, tie looked far and wide as he pondered on life, And ere and anon breathed a sigh. 'To Hardin he came on the Burlington line, And pounded the keys on the ticker. But still for a wife this young man did pine, While smoothing the ireefeibekieker. • e The girls of the valley were many and • bright, . And each would have made him a partner, But to him the matter just didn't seem . right, ' For (*kith was soon out of the mart, sir. \I'll his to the West,\ said this young man, \full sure, And. there will I find me a maiden, Of loveable nature, though possibly. poor, And will ne'er be with grief heavy laden.\ The maiden he found and straightway was married. They are coining hack soon to Hardin. By Burlington special they both will be carried, And the home will be happy they'll land in. The husband's well known to us all as Steve Tupper. But now he will be a changed man, sir. Every night after labor he'll come home to supper, And will no longer be pale and wan. sir. The Hardin Near -Poet Another New Road. At the Tuesday meeting of the Board of County Commissisioners the viewers rereport on the road petitioned for by V B. McComb amd others was again pre- sented to the Board, and the Board, up- on motion rejticted said report and de- clared said road a county road and pub- lic highway. and awarded damages for the right of way for said road and for the building and moving of fences. as follows: A.

We all know that dry farming it4 aim - ply the following out of certain well demonstrated methods of soil Prelairae tion end cultivation which will conserve the limited moisture and insure reason- able crop production under certain semi arid conditions. But the movement, while fairly muccesefal, is still in its in- fancy and years of earful experimenting will be necessary in order to fully dem- onstrate its great 'possibilities. .In this work the state is vitally inter- iested, for the state is a large land i!aner, holding title to several mil- lion acres. If these lands can be sue- Ossfully rattled upon and cultivated, then the value Zif state lands will be in- creased tremendously, and the state will be the richer by many millions of dollars. o meetinently our legistature, purely WI a business proposition, willingly-appropri- ated a reasonable amount of money for the purpose of encouraging dry fanning investigations. Then again the question of leasing the w mole public domain has been system- atically urged for several years, add. many of our \ stockmen enceurage dry farming developments, believing that we must either detn mstrate that these prairie lands are valuable for settlement end use or elee the federal goverment will lease them, and they prefer gradual ev dafem rather than the revolution. which would follow government leasing. Oar farmerf entourage the dry farming irtateinent because they like neighb.as and low, that every additional acre ol oath efied incrce the -value of their own holdings. Our merchants. hankers and all ba4ini'44 and prefessi ;n - al men encourage the mevement, be- cause they know it meanS more people and more business, and tnat the cities, ti gr iw and presper, must hey° the ag- rieultand country back of them. Considering the length of time that this mevment has been agitatad, studied, and encoerege I, the result 4 so sar have been truly amazing. Ten yeers ag) it Was a joke, but. to - v eveiy th miehttal p3rsen who has given the subject - any study. believes there is something in it, and th iiesandis of actual farmers have in a. measure demonstrated its possibilities. The werk is purely educational, hut -to be success- ful it will be neecearary to educate not only the people but the plants. By the means of systematic experi- went(' conducted under. state and federal authority, and by -the exchange of ideas by. practical farmers, the people can be educated in methods of agriculture which in a high degree will ebnserve the moisture, but to educate the plants to be drouth resistant will require many years of careful selection' and perseverance. There can be no question, however, as to the final results: It is a _question of time, for successful farming all over the west is a certainty isomer or later. The -Coming Metropolis. While in Billings Wed. L. J. Gilli- land did setne goel work this commun- ity, as is very plainly shown in the following, article from the Billings Ga- zette. There is more truth than poetry in several of his statements: L. J. Gilliland, a business man of Hardin, the new town on the Burling- ton 00 miles east of this city, was in Billings yesterday and while here (lid some very earnest boosting for his home town. Mr. Gilliland says that Hardin is growing at a phenomenal rate and that it is destined to be the largest and best town on the Burlington east of this city. He declares that the country at filling up with the right kind of peo- ple to make a prosperous and aggressive community and confidently expects that the place will more than double in size within the next few months. Mr. Gilli- land said: \Among other things we are going to have a new school building and it is going to be a good one, too. At a recent election the p3ople voted to issue bends for $7,000 for the building of a new school house. They are also building some Model roads in oar community. \ Three new irrigating ditches are being opened up in the vicinity of Hardin and It is expected that all of them will be in working order within a few weeks and in time to irrigate this -year's crops . Some of the more enthusiastic citizens are even talking county division with Hardin am the county sent of new coun- ty and it is siad that an effort to introduce such a bill into the next legislature will h, in iii.
