MONTANA WRITER SLAMS GARRETT Richland County Writer Says Garrett Knows Not Whereof He Speaks— Defends Treasure State. The following article is taken from a recent issue of the Sidney (Mon tana) Herald and is a forciful ans wer to an article in the Saturday. in the April 12 issue of the Saturday Evening Post by Garet Garrtt. It was with much amusement, dis gust and resentment the people of the Northwest read Garet Garrett's article Evening Post. Amusement, because of the ignor ance Mr. Garrett displayed. Disgust, because of the audacity of a man with his supposed business in sight and iiis lack of fair dealing. Amusing, well—because it is. Resentment, because of the ignor ance he displayed in quotations on ac tuai conditions, as a whole, in the states mentioned in his article. In part he is correct, but as a whole, he is absolutely wrong, and if Mr. Gar rett will come to Montana and take his observations by making a com plete canvas of all districts and com ing into actual contact with the peo pie whem he has slandered in a most brazen manner, look our great re sources over thoroughly, see what Montana and her people have done and are doing, instead of making his observations from the records of some incompetent statistician, or from a moving train, we will convince him that he is entirely wrong, or has been misinformed, and that he has done a great people and a great country a very great injustice. What has the great Northwest done for and against Mr. Garrett? For him, it has fed and clothed him and is doing so now. Against him, nothing. If one cannot speak well of his neigh bor, it seems better not to speak at Tbe Conditions which Mr. Garrett has seen fit 10 mention as existing in this territor y exists in practically every state in the Union - Whyhhas »elected the Northwest on which to vent his very dama K in 3 slander, the P e °P le cannot conceive. There are sectlons here whlc h need eastern cap a " d settlers to develop the great resources - Eastern capitalists, after reading Garet Garrett's article would naturally hesitate to invest in a ter ritory such n8 he wouId have them be!ieve this one is - Settlers would hesitate to locate and cast their lot :n a country bam P pred by conditions 88 he would haVe them be,ieve exists in Montana - ail tion to some of the products and re sources of which we (and the entire nation should be) are proud. I wish to call Mr. Garrett's atten First, the groat fruit producing dis ricts of Montana. The fruit some of which, I have no doubt, he has eaten t with great relish, for our fruit is ship ped to all Eastern states and cities, Also, he has probably eaten with great contentment many fine juicy steaks and chops from some of our Montana cattle, sheep and hogs. The bread he consumes daily undoubtedly is made of Montana wheat which, by the way, grades far better than that from any other state. The wool in the cloth , , , , mg he wears and the leather from which his shoes are made, without doubt, are made from the backs sheep and cattle that were bred and raised on the vast grazing sections of the great state of Montana.
