talked freely ot hta sickness In the south ,
his arising from bed to start on the lone

quinine and other medicine. Ho recall !
every Incident of his trip. An Impractical
Joke led to popular misconception of his
sickness from the start , which misconcep

an Injury and Injustice.

great trouble Is land Is too plenty. .Land
owners , to use a 'Yankee ' expression , have
"bitten off more than they can chew. " Un
der Irrigation the profit Is In working a little
land well. The best potatoes exhibited at
the Yellowstone county fair last fall
were grown on soil that had .been worked
twelve years , and this soil has never had
any manure or fertilizer , and had the water
. turned upon them but once. As to the
11 climate of this valley , the government record
at Billings for the month of November shows
the lowest temperature during the month , 9
degrees ; highest , 70 degrees , and a mean
temperature of 30 degrees. One snow on
the 15th , halt an Inch deep , that did not
r- lay on the ground twenty-four hours. There
la ample room here for men ot brawn , brain
and ambition. Such men can buy an eighty-
acre farm , fence , Improve , and pay for It In
five years with the crops. This valley grows
the finest potatoes and gives the greatest
yield per acre ot any part ot the United
States.
The opening of the B. & M. to Billings
will Insure us a market to the cast , and
the thousands of mines in the mountain :
give us the same In the west. The great
cattle feeders are obliged to graze away
from the railroad lines , leaving all Irrigable
grounds open to settlers. For manufactur
ers , too , there Is plenty of room. This is
th ) finest open location In the country for f
manufactory of agricultural machinery.
The freights on such machinery from the
eastern location , on account ot Its bulk , woulc
bo a handsome profit , and the demand foi
such machinery Is great and constantly In
creasing. A foundry and machine shop wouli
be necessary adjuncts. No better chanct
was ever open for builders than the pres
cnt at this place. There is not a vacant
de house of any description , and at least fort ;
ig families are crowded Into small rooms wait
111 Ing for houses. Lots are plenty and a
111a reasonable prices. It is claimed that flvi
a , to so fen room houses will pay 10 per ocn
iny profit to the owners. There Is no boom li

S.y. . I say to all hearty , healthy , ambltlou :
y.ill young men come on and struggle with us

to the top ; there Is no land that grows yoi
