MONTANA HARD HIT
BY DROUTHAND I.W.WS
Has Grown Like a Mushroom
Having Had a Genuine
Boom
There, is a saying that ia Montana
it is either a feast or a famine. For the
past three years, beginning with the
fine crop prospects of 101.4, Montana
has beon riding on the biggest wave
of prosperity that ever struck the state.
With the high price of wheat and wool
as well as metals, the state was just
preparing itself for another wave of
prosperity that would make it the
boomingest spot in the whole country,
when two things happened that chang
ed the whole story.
The first to change the story of un
precedented prosperity was the drought
of the past five weeks. There hasn't
a drop of rain fallen in the state since
the last of June excepting in a few lo-J
cauties and these local rains were but
light showers, not heavy enough to
change crop conditions, according to C.
E. Wilson, who has just returned from
Helena.
Labor Troubles Hurt,
The other factor to interfere with the
prosperity of the past three years is the
activity of' the I. W. W. it U in the
city of- Butt, that the I. W.' W. hsu
recently beoome" active -and from that
city, this I. W. W. menace has spread
over the state like a threatening cloud.
A few weeks ago I. W. W. organizers
and agitators appeared at Missoula.
Nothing was done to prevent its agents
from intimidating working men and
now almost all the saw mills in the Mis
soula district are closed. The same story
is true of Eureka, in Lincoln county,
Montana. When tho I. W. W. agitators
came to Eureka the local authorities
felt confident they could handle the
situation. Within a few weeks all saw
mills in that section of the state were
either closed or working with a short
force, due 'to the threats of the I. W.
W. Telegrams were sent to Governor
btewart, Attorney General Ford and as
eistant District Attorney Murphy at
Helena signed by the leading citizens
of Eureka, demanding state and federal
help, as conditions were unbearable.
Like conditions prevail wherever the
I. W. W. is allowed a
footing in the!
state, .with paralyzed industries and far
mors threatened with the burning of
their crops.
Wheat Killed by Drouth.
But it is the drought that has chang
cd the prosperity story of Montana. No !
part of the state has escaped. Banking
on $2 wheat almost every farmer put
in every acre that he could reut or
manage to control figuring that a fair
crop would pay for the land,, as fine
wheat lands may be bought at from $25
to $10 an acre.
Spring wheat will produce almost
nothing and the estimate for winter
wheat is from 40 to 50 per cent of a
crop in favorable localities. The dry
land farmer has been in great luck the
past three or four years, with even lar
ger production than irrigated tracts.
This year, it is the man with an irri
gated tract that will have a chance.
The story of the drought is the same,
whether one takes the northeastern
counties, Sheridan, Hill and Dawson, or
those to the south, Custer, Rosebud and
Yellowstone counties. Up in the Kalis
pell part of the state, irrigated tracts
will produco a fair crop, but the dry
land farmer is up against it. In the
northern part of the state from Havre
to Great Falls and west to Glacier Park,
the dry weather caught the spring
wheat and left hardly a crop of win
ter wheat.
Citiej Double Population.
For the past three or four years,
Montana has been probably the most
prosperous state la the countrv. Thous
ands of people from everywhere, even
from- Washington and Oregon were af
ter, wheat lands. From every part of
the state came the story of cities grow-led
iog. Havre three year ago- claimed
3.000. Today it is one of the hustling
cities of the state with 6.000 popula
tion and also with the hottest and cold
est weather of the state, with a mean
temperature of 42. Billings is building 1
so ast that it ia difficult to walk the
streets. Great Falls claims 30,000 and
aiso- claims to oe tne metropolis of tbe.b.-idges and seizure of trains Thursday
northwest. Mile Citv, in Custer countr,
is feeling the effect of four years of
prosperity. Missoula claims 10.000.
Taking a cheerful view of the sit
uation, a real estate maa of Helena said
he supposed they would have to regard)
me crop rauure as a Dieting as nowt
the farmers will give more attention!
to irrigated lands and not boost the
dry faraong propositioa.

Many Salemites Visit
McKenzie River Resorts
McKenzie Bridge, Or., Aug. 6. It
was only a very few years ago that va
cationists looking through the columns
of thy various state papers, in seareh of
an outing place, where complete quiet
ness and rest were assured, discovered
with delight a little modest reader an
nouncing the McKenzie river resorts
McKenzie Bridge Inn, Belknap Springs
and Foley Springs each described as
possessing these very attributes.
Those who responded to those adver
tisements, and who hearkened to the
call of these places again this year,
ami conditions vastly different, so
rapidly and widely has the fame of this
group spread abroad.
But while the crowds grow larger and
larger each year and modern improve
ments must of necessity be added to
meet the growing patronage, the prim
itive charm of mountains, rivors springs
and forests remains as great as be
fure, so that those who in a way, may
miss the extreme quietness, find in
these other things adequate recompense.
Tho road which reaches these places
the Lincoln Higway is in better
condition this year than it has ever
been. Motorists from Salem and north
ern points are unable, however, to make
the trip directly through Springfield
as heretofore, owing to tho repairing
of the bridge between that place and
Eugene, and are obliged to take a more
circuitous route, by way of the Coburg
road out of Eugene, entering Spring
field from the west-
Sportsmen and vacationists began
their annual pilgrimage, for the greater
part, in May this year, but the larger
number of the former are not expected
until September, owing to the more
favorable condition of the river which
is expected about the latter part of Au
gust. There have been few catches of
importance this season. The McKenzie

Waltes, Honeymnn of Portland, who
came up here in May, remains the
champion fisherman thus far, but it is
thought that his record will be easily
broken during the coming month. Ang
lers are mainly using "Blue and

flies during August, as well as the nat
ural trout food grampus which may
bo found in quantities now that the

the "March Browns" and "Forned

true fisherman's heart.

distant, caught by sportsmen who are
enthusiastic about these fish in connec
tion with the future of Oregon's ang
ling history.
There has been some little misunder
standing this year a iout the closing of
certain tributaries of the McKenzie,
some believing that casting was to be
prohibited in all of them. This is not
the case, however, the order closing
thein effecting only: Kifrhie Creek,
Johnson Creek, Trout Creek, Driftwood
Creek, Granite Creek, Indian Creek,
Gate Creek, Ennis Creek and Quartz
Creek. Theao were closed August first
and for a period of two years thereaf
ter. This has been done so that the mil
lions of tiny fish that have been plant
ed in these streams by the state fish
commission may have a chance to de
velop. These little 'fellows have prac
tically become pet.i at the hatcheries
where they will clamor for food from
any visitor, and evidently entertain
the same trustful feeling when placed
in the headwaters of onr various rivers
and their former friendly-disposed vis
itor changes into a hungry fisherman.
