Baker of Glenburn is in the city today enroute home from a trip to Gal ata, Mont. While in the west, he had occasion to lenrn some Interesting facts about the free government land in Mon tana. One of the land commissioners explained that there would still be first class homesteads left in that state twenty years hence. The government does not intend to throw it all open to filing at one time, preferring to throw a township or two open at one time and Ui this way the homestead land will be conserved for the future generation. There will be good opportunities for many years to come, but it will be al most nocessary for one desiring to file to visit that state, select the land de sired and wait for the opening. A few filings have been made on the grazing land. The first of the year the 010 acre homestead grazing act went into effect. One cannot pick out this land promiscuously, but it is necessary to squat on the land and then make ap plication for a ruling as to whether it is grazing or farming land. Should the department decide that the land is strictly farming land .then only 320 acres may be secured, and not then un til such land is thrown open to settle ment. Curling Ice is A-l This Week.
