Hardin. 26th, 1910 to Oct. 29th, 1910 be - The rally that was scheduled tween the hours of 9 o'clock a.m. for evening was held in the and 9 o'clock p. m., on all legal Becker hall and was easily the largest public meeting ever held in Hardin. The audience began assembling about 7:30 and the meeting was opened at about 8 o'clock with Dr. W. G. Richards presiding. After a few introductory re- marks by the chairman M. J. Lamb who is a candidate for StateSenator was introduced. Mr. Lamb gave about a twenty min- ute talk in which he told his hearers where he stood on im- portant state issues and what they could expect if he was elected. He spoke of county div- ision and said if he was elected and had the opportunity he would gladly assist in the form- ing of a new county in this sec- tion of the state with Hardin as a county seat. Following Mr. Lamb, Charles A. Taylor, who is a candidate for county attorney was intro- duced. Mr. Taylor spoke of each of the candidates of the Rep- ublican ticket, telling of their .abilities, and asking for the vot- ers consideration on November .8th. C. S. Bell, candidate for State Representative, was then intro- duced and in a few well chosen words told the voters of Hardin where he was at, asking them to consider his candidacy for the office which he seeks. Judge F. B. Reynolds was introduced and for perhaps an hour spoke on the national issue of the Republican party. He com- pared the record of the two parties, arraying the promises of the Democratic party against the accomplishments of the Republic- an party in a very striking and forceful manner. Judge Rey- nolds is a strong, logical speaker, and made a very good impression on his hearers. Each of the visitors expressed their surprise at phenominal de- velopment of Hardin, particular- ly those who have never been here before. They were all very optomistic about our future both as a town and community. Following the meeting the audience became the guests of the candidates at a dancing party where those who danced enjoyed themselves in the popular past time to their hearts content, the music being furnish- ed by the Becker orchestra.

'AN ( Indians Reported to Take Ac- tive Part in Securing Desir- ed Structure—Ask to Have Personal Funds Used The much talked of bridge over the Big Horn river to be built at or near the head gate of the Two Legging canal is report- ed to be the leading subject among the Indians at present, and if the reports are true the bridge may be built in the near future. The matter has provoked a great deal of controversy among the Indians. They all seem to agree that there should be a bridge over the river, but there is a wide difference of opinion as to where the structure should be located. The Black Lodge, the Lodge Grass and the Rotten Grass Indians are reported as favoring the bridge but want it built at or near the present Burlington railr road bridge. The Big Horn Indians also favor the bridge but want it at or near the Head gate of the Two Legging canal, the location chosen by the govern- ment, while the Prior Indians are noncommittal on the subject. We are informed that the Big Horn Indians have decided to have the structure if they can by any hook or crook obtain it. They have petitioned the de- partment to appropriate $10,000 of their personal funds, the amount necessary to secure the building of the structure. Just what the outcome of this will be, it uncertain, but it does lend a little encouragement to those who have labored so un- tiringly that these two wonder- fully fertile valleys may be con- nected. $s.00 PER YEAR.

DICKENSON The State of Montana has 30, 000,000 acres of tillable soil as yet largely undeveloped, where scientific, or so called dry farm- ing, has been highly successful. That state, however, has many large irrigation projects in oper- ation and under way. Farther west, in the Bitter Root and Wenatchee valleys, we see fruit lands selling from $500 to $3,000 per acre, and the producers are making handsome profit from their investments. Wenatchee apples sell on Broadway fifty per cent higher than California oranges. Still farther west and south in central Oregon, large tracts of virgin, highly productive lands are available. Valuable tracts lie in the Des Chutes River valley in that state, which are as yet low in price because of lack of development, making them a good investment. The eastern landseeker, un- acquainted with western condi- tions, sometimes -harbors the idea that the West is unattractive in respect to society and amuse- ments. This ma, have been true to some extent years ago, but railroad building and consequent land development have brought about a marked state of evolution. Even the Indian, reputed to possess less industry than any other type of western inhabitant, is in process of industrial evolu- tion. Crow Agency, Montana. the site of the historic Custer battle- field, is an example of this. Yesterday; in that locality we saw five thousand Indians, whose chief occupation was hunting, rough -riding or lounging about the teepee in full dancing regalia, while the feminine portion of the family were gathering morsels for the sustenance of life. To -day, conditions are reversed. The I WNW Indian has donned the more con- venient but less picturesque attire of the laborer, contributing to the livlihood of both himself and the landowner, who may be at home or abroad, enjoying more or less luxurious existance. Several hours of travel from there, as the crow or the aviator would fly, in any direction, we see aboundant evidences of prosperi- ty. The prosperous towns of Sher- idan and Billings are near, sur- rounded with rich irrigating soil, and the high character of the in- habitants is everywhere apparent. The ranches of Joseph Leiter and other capitalists are in view. All this, however, is Only typical of any northwest locality you may desire to select. The buffalo remains only in memory. Automobiles have dis- placed the western range horses. The farmer is riding his steam - plow, the range steer and the sheep herder have vanished beyond the foot hills to quarters as yet too far distant from trans- portation to be developed. Auto- mobiles are frequently, but not always, a sign of prosperity. The best eviience of the prosperous condition of the landholder was gained from a banker, who said the banks had issued seven hun- dred letters of credit in a year to the farmers of his state, who were travelling abroad. While there have been wonder- ful st6aes in the recent acquisi- tion 4nd settlenient of land, there are still large tracts to be had at reasonable cost. Go to the railroads if y9u are seeking authentic information about lands. Their interests are yours. There is no better place, not ex- eepting the governuent. (The end) AIMIN•11 , at \ A.

HARDIN TO INCLPOR- ATE !N VAR FUTURE Census Shows 311 Inhabitants Matter Will be Referred to County Commissioners Who will Set Date For Election Every indication now is that Hardin will soon become an in- corporated town. A petition signed by 75 voters living within the proposed limits was recently filed with the com- missioners and J. S. Tupper was appointed to take the census to ascertain if Hardin possessed sufficient population to incorper- ate. The census was taken last Saturday and resulted in the find- ing of 311 inhabitabitants that actually have their homes here with some twenty more who have been herf, long enough to gain a residence but who have homes elsewhere. Since the census of last Saturday the population has been added to by thirteen more wilt are to have permanent homes here. The matter will now be refer- ral to the county commissioners who will name a date for the election which will decide the question. Club Will Meet Here The Midland Commercial Club will meet here on Tuesday of next week the, guests of the la cal Chamber of Commerce.

It Pays to Advertise We have always told the people that if they would advertise those things which they wanted to sell in the Tribune that they would always find a buyer. Last week T. E. Gay wanted to dispose of a bunch of pigs which he had and on Tuesday brought the copy for the notice of sale to the Tribune office for publication. Mr. Gay says that he never saw the like the way that little ad sold those hogs. The hogs were actually sold two days before the Tribune was issued. He is convinced that it pays to advertise in the Tribune. Sanitary cots of all kinds for sale at Johnston & Tupper W. E. Fearis purchased the Ernie Addler buggy advertised for sale in last week's Tribune. H. S. Ekleberry and A. E. Callahan each purchased 320 acres of land at the land sale in Billings this week.

Qualifications of Voters A person, in order to be a vot- er, must have resided in Mon- tana one year before Nov. 8,1910, or have filed on land in Montana one year before Nov. 8, 1910, and settled on this land within six months after filing on same.
