Along the New Line to the Pacific CoastOpportunities on the Chicago, Milwaukee & StPaul Railway . who has a school for tlie winter, pooledour issues in these teams. They pay me $50 per month to run the outfit,freighting our lumber and supplies to our claims. We shall hire our breakingdone at $2 per acre, cheaper than horse po\ver. Two of our men are car-penters, earning their $4 per day from the railroad. Our total earnings are$350 per month. By the time the six months that the government gives usbetween filing and occupying our claims comes round, everything will be inshape to put in our first crop, so we all gain about a year by pulling together. At Marmarth, at Lorraine, on the Sandstone, at Ismay on Fallon, atSaugus on the Yellowstone, at Melstone, on the Musselshell, at Antwerp onthe Great Porcupine, and not a few other places, now marked only by gradedside tracks, flourishing towns will be building by the time trains are running. As a result of successful dry farming during the past eighteen months,on the Beach flats just north of the extension along the Montana-Dakota Starting the Days Work on a Dakota Farm there is a bright town—a side track a year ago. Today it boasts of im-provements of $300,000 for the past year; among these, a 75 barrel rollermill, four elevators, with a capacity of 160,000 bushels, three hardware andimplement stores. The last named sold within the year 150 wagons, 60 self-binders and 100 mowers. And this is to be repeated again and again along the extension of theChicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Eailway across Montana. At no less than threeplaces I can name, far more wonderful stories of growth than this wall betold and fortunes made in lands and village property, before the end of 1908. Things move fast now. One may not deliberate leisurely. Who de-cides quicTciy, ivho gets in line at the Miles City or Terry Land Office, or driveshis stake in one of these new towns, stands to win the Ug prizes. Huffman.
