kinsen, président of Montana State
college. Thu story of Montana is
being told in the advertisements of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads and appears in 16 of the
leading farm ojumals ci" the country.
Land Prices Low
Dr. Atkinson points cut that the
day of free land is past, that from
now cn the ration will see a gradual
advance in land prices, and that in
many agricultural areas of the coun
try prices have already become al
most prohibitive for the man who
wants to start farming 1 . In Montana
prices of good agricultural land are
the lowest of any place in the United
States, and therefore Montana offers
the greatest farming opportunity in
the cour.tr>* at the present time. He
cautions that the increasing popula
tion and the tremendous development
%
that is taking place in the United
States will be reflected in an upward
movement of land values in Montana
and that the opportunity of today may
not be here a few years from now.
28,000,000 Acres Open
In mentioning Montana's advan-
tages and resources, Dr. Atkinson
tells cf the vastness of the state with
92,000,000 acres, 36,000,000 of
which are classed as farming land.
At the present time only about eight
million acres are under cultivation

irrigated land in the state with the
possibility of irrigating three or four
million acres more.

Crop Perfection
The article calls attention to the
fact that many of the farm crops
grown in Montana reach a very high

apples, potatoes, sugar beets and
vegetables are known for their high
quality on the nation's markets and
often bring substantial premiums.
In mentioning the possibilities for

tells of the vast deposits of coal in

{SPLENDID 1XING
CARD SCHEDULED '
FOR DECEMBER 3
In Main Event, "Scotty" Mc
Donald, Local Favorite, Will,
Meet Womack, of Ennis
What premises to be one clT the
most entertaining and exciting exhi
bition of boxing ever staged in the
Gallatin valley is scheduled for
Thursday evening, December 3, at
Manhattan, when "Scotty" McDonald,
local favorite, will meet Emmett
Womack, of Ennis, in the main event
—a 10-round bout at 170 pounds.
The card is being put on, under the
direction of Promotor Harry Alten
orand, as a benefit for the Manhat
tan public schools, and is expected
to draw a capacity crowd.
No less interesting will be the semi
windup, in which Max Carlson, the
shifty, hard-hitting Livingston lad,
will clash with Frank Wine, of Round
up, a boxer with a justified reputa
tion. These boys tip the scales at 170
pounds, and will mix if for eight
rounds.
Interesting Prelims
Four preliminaries, all of which
seem tr be matches of unusual merit,
will keep spectators on tiptoe until
the principals appear. In them Jules
Benton, of Bozeman, will face Thomas
Burden, of Livingston, in a .three
round go at 125 pounds, and Louis
Krauss, cf Ennis, will have as an op
ponent Ralph McMullin of Boezman,
for four rounds at 130 pounds. The
other two will be four-round events
at 140 pounds between Frank Sus
tello, of Manhattan, and Robert Wells,
of Bozeman, and Ralph Muchow, of
Bozeman, and Earl Warwood of Bel
grade.
Both "Scotty" McDonald and Em
mett Womack, principals in the main
event, are too well known in the val
ley to need especial mention. "Scot
ty" is one of the fastest, cleverest,
ahrdest-hitting boxers in these parts,
and Womack has a long list of vic
tims to show that he is no man to be
trifled with. Opinion as to the result

37 FOX HOUNDS
DO THEIR STUFF
AND COYOTES DIE
This was an unlucky week for Brier
Coy cite, for with nearly two-score
classy fox hounds ranging the hills
in quest of prey, things moved, and
moved fast, for him.
The occasion was Bozeman's dog
show and field trials, to< which fox
hound owners from many parts of
the state brought highbred and well
trained animals for entry. The event,
according to Dr. T, W. Symmonds,
local fancier, was a great success.
Seven Coyotes Bagged
In all seven coyotes were bagged by
the hounds, the chases furnishing
sport for the spectators and proving
the value of the breed for; such work.
The first field trials were held Sun
day morning, starting at a peint four
miles out on the Sour Dough road,
and resulted in the death of five coy
otes, the initial kill being made with
in 20 minutes of the time the hounds
were turned loose. At dusk three of
the dogs were «till missing, having
probably followed trails until
hausted or having joined some farm
eris pack. Fully 100 persons wit
nessed the exhibition.
On Monday the run was repeated in
the same neighborhood, with the re
sult that two more coyotes were tak
en. The unfavorable traveling condi
tions in the fields and hills proved
hard on the hounds, some <sf which
were put out of commission for sev
eral days with severely injured feet.
The trials were witnessed also by R.
E. Bateman, predatory animal inspec
tor for the United States biological
survey, who brought sin dogs along
with him, and by R. E. Bodley, coun
ty agent, who was instrumental in
bringing this state meet of dog fan
ciers to Bozeman.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
LISTENS TO PLAINTS
AGAINST OFFICIALS
\
Holds Several Conferences and
Takes Matters Under Advise
ment—Quite Unexcited
fy
To investigate certain matters in
connection with the administration of
Gallatin county offices. Attorney Gen
eral L. A. Foot stopped in Boezman
Friday, and that evening and Satur
day held several conferences. The
mo$t important of these and which
was attended by several taxpayers,
the county attorney, the county com
missioners and., the sheriff and one
of fiis deputies, occurred Saturday
morning.
I.
ft
News Hounds Excluded.
These meetings were strictly ex
ecutive ones, and the names of most
of those who participated were not
made public. It is' understood Mr.
Foot listened to various complaints,
suggestions, and arguments advanced
both by taxpayers and by county of
ficials. When seen as he was about
to board a train for the Capital city
j Saturday afternoon, Mr. Foot said:
" l st °PP ed in Bozeman, by request,
^ and".™
tion any documents that might be pre.
sented. I ha\e the matter under ad
4
visement, and there is nothing more l
can say at this time.
'Twas Lively Session
Apparently the attorney general,
who had just ccme from what is said
to have been a most lively and some
what inharmonious session, was not
much excited. He tactfully but none
the less determinedly sidestepped all
leading questions, and would express ,
no opinion whatsoever.
County Attorney E. A. Peterson
likewise declined to discuss the issues,
Although admitting he had attended
the meeting. He said Mr. Foot, who
had been in Livingston on a similar
errand and was enroute heme, had
merely stopped off here to listen to
what everyone concerned had to say.
Any further information, he averred,
must come from Mr. Foot.
An Airing Needed.
Among the matters considered at
Saturday's conference were certain
allegations of irregularities in the
sheriff's office, rumors of which have
been heard upon the streets frequent
ly of late. Just what these allega
tions are, or whether they are of a
serious nature, is not known. There
has been manifested a growing opin
ion, however, that in justice to Sher
iff James Smith and in fairness to
all concerned, some sert of an airing
should be had.
When seen Tuesday by a represen
tative of THe Courier, Sheriff Smith
did not hesitate to declare that the
accusations against him were inspired
purely by personal and political an
tipathies. He added:
Mr. Smith's Statement
There is no foundation for the al
legations, which are most petty in
character, that have been made
against me by personal and political
enemies. I have explained every one
of them to the attorney general. I
am perfectly willing at any time to
