U. -REPORTER. 1 -1 W I I S O DPerahqN BRUEGGFR MFF CD PROPR: Seeing the Light. The Helena Record has found out through the Billings Times, that it would result in a great benfit to Montana if the big ranges, now used for stock, were reclaimed through irrigation and cut up into small farms. The Helena paper quotes spprovingly the argument, that the smaller flocks and herds are desir able results to be looked forward to. Ibis is the doctrine that The Tribune has been preaching for a long time, and because we did this, divers newspapers in the state of Montana undertook to make out that we are abusing the stock men. They declared that we were try ing to break one of the substantial legs that Montana has to stand on. One by one the newspapers of be state are coming to see the folly of such claims, and that it is only the logic of events that is depriving the stockmen of unlimited range. And it can be added that some of the owners of the big herds are beginning to take a more sensible vie# of the Situation. They are finding out that they are being Crowded-, not by sentiment on the part of anybody against their business, but by a move ment that will eventually take all of tbe land capable'of being devoted to agri culture for the'tynatl owner. There mil still be thousands of cattle and thousands of sheep in Montana. Tbe business will be conducted in different fashion. The stock production of the state will be larger than it is now. Diversified products will be the order of the day. and Montana will prosper as it has never prospered before. The plea of this newspaper has been to keep the remaining unappropriated lands for tbe farmer, so that the great movement for building up the state along this line may not be held back. Monta na will begin to approach the prosperity that is possible, and that is abiding, when its agricultural resources are deve loped. The more thoroughly the people of the state keep this much in mind tbe better it will be for them. Men who are engaged in oi her pursuits can make light of these claims if tbey will, but it will Dot be for long.—Great Falls Tribune. Great Northern New Clergymen Half Bate Permits.
