LAND FOR THE HOMESEEKER
What the Government ii Doing to
Satisfy the Demand in This Line.

I nln to settlement vast areas of lands
the Indian reservation, and the reclam
on service which haa developed water
t r several hundred thousand acrts of des
i t land haa attracted the attention of
' omesekers from all over tha United
(State.
? Tha west, which haa remained so long a
terra Incognita to most of the people who
dwell eatt of 'he Mississippi, haa suddenly
coma Into prominence aa a land of golden
opportunities and a large Influx of settlers
hns followed. An enormous amount of
money has already been expended by tha
government and by private enterprise to
make habitable many fertile valleys In
the west. New communities are springing
up in tha arid states and territories so
rapidly that It Is difficult to keep pace
with tha development. An especially In
teresting and cheering phase of the growth
of these communities is 'he splendid class
of clllaens who have established them
selves in tha new country. They are
largely tha young, vigorous and Intelligent
descendants of the pioneers of the Missis
sippi valley who have been crowded out
of the thickly settled agricultural districts
by reason of the growth in population and
the high price of farm lands. They repre
sent the ' best and most progressive citl
ii ns of the country, and their coming to
the wost predicates the upbuilding In an
incredibly short time of sgrlcultural com
munities which will be as nearly Ideal as
can be found anywhere In the world.
To neat the steadily Increasing demand
for homes on the land, the government is
extending Its Irrigation works . as rapidly
as the funds will permit. On a few of the
great projects there are farms remaining
which are open to homeseekers under the
liberal, terms of the reclamation act. For
the Information of a very large class of
homeseekers, a brief description of several
of these large projects Is appended.
Shoshone Projeot, Wyoming.
The lands in this projeot were opened to
settlement on May 22, 1909, and are rapidly
being taken up. About 100 farms are still
available. These farms, as a rule, are
level, requiring no expense for clearing.
They are near towns and within easy
distance of the railroad. In size they
range from forty to eighty acres depend
ing upon nearness to towns. The farms
have been platted in such a manner that
there are eight farm houses along each
mile of the main highways, thus contribut
ing to nelghborllness and eliminating
loneliness. In the brief period of four
months the country has taken on an ap
pearance of a suburban community. Here
is a region possessing ' an equable and
healthful climate, a fertile soil adapted
to a wide variety of crops, with coal and
oil In the near neighborhood and with ex
cellent transportation facilities. This
son's crops warrant the prediction that the
Shoshone region will become In a short
time one of the most prosperous farming
districts In the northwest
Huntley Project, Wyoming.
Situated In the southern part of Montana
In a part of the valley of the Yellowstone,
where irrigation has been practiced suc
cessfully for many years, the Huntley pro
ject offers many advantages and attrac
tions to the homeseeker and to all classes
of professional and business men and
mechanics. More than 300 families are now
established in homes on this project.
several thousand acres have been put In
crops, and the growth of the new towns Is
keening pace with the agricultural de
velopment. With two transcontinental
railroads traversing the entire valley, no
farm Is more than two and one-half miles
from a shipping station.
Agricultural experts predict that apples
aitd other hardy fruits will become im
portant wealth producers in this section,
All the crops of the north temperate sone
do well here. Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota
and Nebraska have contributed some of
the bust blood and brains to the develop
ment of this project with exceedingly
gratifying results., To the man of small
means who desires to secure a borne of his
in thA Huntley Drolect offers a most
inviting opportunity at the present time
Hlver Project, MoiU it.
Located In the northern part of the
stato, near the rapidly growing city of
Great Falls, the Sun river project is
attracting a vr.y high class of people
who are making a garden in the desert
To the man who Is accustomed to the
vigorous climate of New England, or of
Minnesota and Wisconsin, this section is
peculiarly attractive. The lands are cov
ered with bunch grass and blue-Joint tur
ntahinv excellent erasing. There is no
sage brush to clear and but little level
lng to do to prepare land for Irrigation.
The farms are eighty acres each of Ir
rigable land, and in addition each home
steader may secure another eighty acres
of unlrrlgated land without charge. Con
siderlng the low price of water right only
10 per acre, payable in ten years with
out Interest, thla may be regarded as an

In Montana and North Dakota, are .000
acres of choice land embraced In a gov
ernment project While all of the land
haa been filed upon, there are oppor
tunities of purchasing from present own
ers, many of whose holdings are in ex
cess of the limit of 160 acres prescribed
by law. These lands are' held at such
reasonable prices that setttlers who de
sire to locate there, and who have ex
hausted their homestead rights, can se
cure sufficient acreage to establish a
home. A new railroad la being built
down the valley which will afford first-
class transportation facilities for crops.
Bountiful crops were the rule this year.
Detailed Information regarding these
projects and others which have been
completed or are being constructed will
be supplied upon application to the sta
tistician, United States reclamation serv
Ice, Washington, D. C. The very large
number of Inquiries which are being re
celved indicate a widespread Interest on
the part of the public. As the oppor
tunities on these projects for homeseek
ers are not unlimited, it is probable that
ere another year has parsed all the landa
described above will be taken up.
NEW OPERA FR0M MONTANA
Plot of "PoU," to D Given In Berlin,
Supplied hy Black loot
Indians.
HELENA, Mont., Oot 2. The announce
ment that the Berlin Royal Opera would
produce next season Arthur Nevtn's In
dian opera, 'Tola," naturally Interests
Montana deeply, because the material for
the 'opera was drawn from the legendary
lore of the Blackfeet Indians In northern
Montana The production of thla Montana
opera Is declared to be "the first recogni
tion of importance given by musical Eur
ope to America," as well as "the first seri
ous American opera ever produced in Ber
lin."
The possibilities of producing a genuine
American opera from the Blackfeet legends
was called to Mr. Nevin's attention by
Walter McCltntock, whose history of the
folk lore and legends of the Blackfeet
tribe is about to be published. A visit to
this state was made by Mr. Nevin, the
local atmosphere studied and. the themo
evolved from a legend. The lyrics are
ancient songs of the tribe. The libretto
was put Into literary form by Randolph
Hartley.
Pola, the leading character, Is a Black
feet brave who Is In love with Natoya, a
beautiful maiden, but she Is In love with
Swattsi, a warrior and hunter and an evil
man. To be rid of Pota, Natoya tells him
she will not have him for a lover until
the soar on his face Is removed. A medi
cine .woman Informs him that the soar was
affixed by. the Sun God and can only be
removed by him. Pola must penetrate into
the kingdom of the Sun God.
Poia sets out and endures great hard
ships before he finally reaches the court of
the Sun God, whose favor he wins by sav
ing the life of Morning Star, the Sun God's
only son. The scar is effaced, and Pola
is seen coming down the Wolf Train, as
the Indians call the Milky Way, accom
panied by Morning Star, who gives him
a magic flute, which will make the player
loved by whoever hears the muslo.
Natoya is with Swatlst when she hears
the flute and she turns from Bwatsl to
Pola He is acclaimed a great prophet by
the tribe and receives the homage due such
an one. Swatial Is furious at Pola's tri
umph and attempts to kill him, but Nat
oya receives the spear thrust as she leaps
In front of her lover.
The heavens open, the Sun God appears
and strikes down Swatial with a bright
shaft of light and calls the lovers to the
sky. Bearing the dying Natoya In his
arms, Pota mounts upward and disappears
forever from ths Blackfeet country.
Walter McCltntock, his brother and sev
eral other eastern men were at the reser
vation on July 4 last Four hundred lodge
were assembled and the tribal customs of
ancient days were rehearsed for their ben
efit. A moving picture machine was on
hand and thousands of feet of films were
obtained. These pictures, it Is understood.
will form the basis for the scenery for the
new opera. The mountains depicted will
be the tall, somber, densely wooded moun
tains of the Blackfeet country.
Took tbe Money and Risk.
'I was at a little station In the midst
of one of the dreariest anl dryest stretches
of the 'Frisco road," said the Oklahoma
man, "when the through express pulled In.
As soon as It stopped a little seedy-look
ing man with a covered basket on his arm
hurried up to the , open windows of the
smoker and exhibited a quart bottle filled
with rich, dark liquor.
" 'Want to buy some cold tear' I heard
him ask.
'The eyes of two thirsty-looking cattle
men In the car visibly brightened and they
eaoh paid $1 for a bottle.
'Walt till you get out of the station
before you take a drink,' the little man
cautioned, 'or you'll get ma Into trouble.'
"He sold another bottle to a big buok
Indian with the same words of warning,
and found three other customers before
the train started.
" 'You seem to have a pretty good thing
here for a bootlegger,' I said to him when
the train had disappeared, 'but I can't see
that It would make you run any more
risk If those men took a drink before the
train left'
" 'Oh, yes. It would,' said the bootleg
ger. 'I'd probably be killed If they did.
You see, what those bottles had In 'em
was real cold tea. St. Louis Times.

SINGERS' CAINS AND LOSSES
Fortunes Quickly Earned and at
Quickly Lost.
ARTISTS WHO KEPT THEIR MONEY
Speculation and Great Expenditures
Reasons Why Operatic Careers
Often End In Poverty Cafe
( the Aetors.
NEW YORK. Oct t-Mme. Melba's re
ported loss of fortune Is attributed to the
great expense of her way of living rather
than to speculation, the usual means by
which operatic savings disappear. She had
a house In Park Lane, London, which she
built without regard to cost, and a homi
In Paris. In reoent years she has assocl
ated with the titled aristocracy of Eng
land, and that costs money even in the
case of a famous prima donna.
Then she has not sung so frenquently as
In former years, although her expenses
conttuued to Increase, notably after the
marriage of her son to the daughter of an
English general, a marriage that soon
ended In the divorce courts. How much
Mme. Melba's expenditures on the BrltlBh
aristocracy helped her was shown by the
alacrity with which society established
her rival at Covent Garden.
It has always been said that Alfred
Rothschild, who did the same for Adeline
Paul, had Invested Mme. Melba's earnings
for her In the most advantageous way.
Her father, a contractor in Melbourne, Is
rich, so Mme. Melba will never know want
Her career was different from that of most
singers In that she' never knew poverty.
Mme. pattl is perhaps the richest of the
singers, although Christine Nllsson, who
sold her Boston real estate several years
ago and Invested the proceeds In Sweden,
has an ample fortune. It was surnrlslno:
to learn years ago that Edouard da
Reszkc, who received more than twice as
much as any other basso during the au
premacy of his brother, was so much in
need of money that he had begun to teach
in London. It was not unusual for Ed
ouard de Reszke to sing five times a week
at the Metropolitan, and as he never re
ceivea less man ivw nis earnings were
large. He used to threaten Mr. Urau with
lawyers when that astute manager tried
to limit his appearance to a normal num
ber.
Now he has been In financial difficulties
In spite of his economical way of life in
New York, while Pol Plancon, the other
baeBO of the company during the Grau
days, Is a man of sufficient wealth to live
with comfort in France for the rest of his
days. He was a bachelor, while Edouard
de Reszke was the father of five daugh
ters. M. de Reszke lost money In un
fortunate business speculation and In
the attempt to farm In Poland.
It was during the Russo-Japanese
war that his misfortunes in this particu
lar began. His best servants were drafted
for the army and his best horses taken
without compensation by the Russian
government which Is none too consld
erate of its Polish subjects. The result
was that he had to go to London to teach
after Oscar Hammersteln cancelled his
tentative contract with the Manhattan.
Jean de Reszke might have had little
or nothing when he retired, aa keeping up
a racing stable and entertaining Russian
grand dukes are expensive pastimes.
He came out all right however, as his
wife has some fortune, and for ten months
of the year he earns 1250 a day teaching,
Mme. Lehmann, who Is said to have
willed all her fortune to the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals In
Berlin, made her substantial fortune here,
although she haa not been in this country
for seven years. She must earn between
$10,000 and $15,000 a year by her appear
ances In Germany. After she came to
sing In this country . her success at the
Metropolitan led her to break hsr contract
with the Royal opera house In Berlin,
She lost nothing by being expelled from
the opera houses In the Cartel Vereln,
however, for her earnings In America
during one season exceeded what she
could have made In ten years at the Royal
opera house in Berlin.
She saved her money, Invested In real
estate, never speculated, and has always
lived with the greatest simplicity. So
she can well afford to give all the pro
ceeds of her concerts nowadaya to charity
This is her practice nowadays.
Emma Calve got, ahead of her relatives
by buying a fat annuity, so she will not
be one of the prtma donnas to be eaten
alive by her poor relatives. Lilll Lehmann
said that to her knowledge Lola Beeth
whose career ended muoh earlier than It
should have done, largely because she was
worried to death about financial matters.
used to support an entire village of rel
atlves In Poland.
Mme. Nordica did not get Into the list
of high priced prima donnas until much
later than many other singers. During
the later years of her career her earnings
were large.
Mme. Gadskl's four years outside the
operatlo barriers must have decreased her
earnings, although she Is a popular singer
In concert and there were never any
signs that she felt it necessary to de
or ease the number of her automobiles or
the hospitality of her home. Olive Frem
stad's earnings practically began when ahe
came to the Metropolitan opera house, an
her contract there made by Helnrlch Con
ried called for forty representations at
$1,000 each. This was one of the Conreld
contracts that it was found impossible to
carry out so Miss Premstad consented
to take half the number of her guaran
teed appearances In concert, end it is not
probable that she lost anything through
that change.
Mme. Sembrlch, who has had a long
career and was at the top of the ladde
from the start laid the foundation of her
fortune when Henry E. Abbey paid her
$150,000 and her expenses during her first
tour of this country. Since that time sh
haa been one of the highest paid of th
prima donnas and has sung every season
but one. She has Invested her money and
Is the 'principal owner of a factory In
Germany that turns out thousands of pos
tal cards and other prints that are ex
ported to all parts of the world.
Emma Eatnes repaid the money ad
vanced for her musical education, and
stayed off the stage altogether for several
seasons, but she had been so well paid
for the two or three seasons preceding her
retirement that she will always be beyond
the need of singing again unless she want
to. And she declares she does not want to.
It is not the singers who receive th
highest salaries, haggle and scrap with the
managers over every penny and squeeze
out the last drop that end with the largest
amount of money. Sofia Bcalchl. the con
tralto, was never one of the high priced
singers of the opera house, but she man
aged to save enough to live in comfort In
Turin and educate for the bar her son,
who Is a successful attorney now.
Victor Maurel, who had always received
the largest salaries paid In Europe, bega
to teach as soon as he had lost his voice
That used to be the wsy of all the singers.
as Mme. Marlmom, Etelka Gerster and
others of their day proved. Clara Louise
Kellogg saved ample money for her needs
nd now passes her time In comfort at he
Connecticut hums and In Europe. Minn!
Hauck, first of the Carmens to make a
furor In New York, has her summer home
In Lucerne and usually spends her winters
traveling In Eflvnl or th Orient
Oeraldlne Farrar paid KMOOO last season
o her former benefactor and thnt probably
used up a Isrgs part of her earnings for
the year. She lives economically, takes her
meals In the public rare of the hotel In
whlcJi she lives, and shows no tendency to
extravagance.' Mary Garden also settled
ome similar Indebtedness last winter, and
she Is probably beginning just now to earn
enough to save money, her salaries in
Paris before she came to this country hav
ing been very small In comparison to the
$1,100 that Oscar Hammersteln pays her.
robably the largest outlay that the
great singers have Is for their personal
costumes, and there are few of them that
do not have big bills with the Paris dress
makers. Slgnor Caruso's earnings are enormous
since he sings with the Metropolitan Opera
company, and his contract calls for ap
proximately $100,000 every year. Yet he has
recently complained bitterly of the large
amount he was compelled to disburse on
his family and his more remote relatives.
It Is a characteristlo of the high priced
singers to be always waiting for the time
when they have paid all their outstanding
obligations and are going to start in to
save money. Somehow this time never
seems to arrive until after their voices
have begun to go and they are compelled
to crowd all the available possible engage
ments Into the short time left to them.
Contraltos never receive as much as
the sopranos, but both Mmes. Homer and
Schumann-Helnk have lived prudently
enough to save their money. Invest It In
real estate and buy homes In which they
are rearing their families. Another singer
who has accumulated a comfortable for
tune Is Slgnor Scottl, who has not only
been prudent In his expenditures, but well
advised In his Investments.
Andreas Dippei never had a salary like
Caruso's, but he was always very well
paid and had put aside a comfortable
fortune by the time he stepped Into a
salary of $.X),000 a year as conductor of
the Metropolitan. ,
Angelo Malsinl, the great Italian tenor.
who came Into European Importance first
In 1876, when he created Rhadames In the
production of Verdi's "Aida" In Paris,
went back to St. Petersburg to sing two
years ago, although he was well over 60.
The reason was the entire loss of his large
fortune, which he had Intrusted to a friend
for Investment only to see It fade away
within a few months. Italo Campaninl,
who earned a fortune here, lost It in
unsuccessful operatic speculation, largely
through his production of "Othello" here,
and Stegmund Mlerzurnskl, who died the
other day In Paris, spent all his money In
his way of living and was all but penniless
when his voice suddenly failed him. Yet
for a while he was the highest paid tenor
in Europe.
Emello di Marchl had almost the same
experience and for the years from 1803 to
1900 received enormous sums in South
America and Spain, where he sang with
Hercla Darclee. He got $2,000 a night when
he was here with Colonel Mapleson in 1896.
Nowadays, however, he is singing In ob
scure companies at an obscure salary.
Francesco Tamagno probably left a for
tune, as his compensation had been largo
the world over and his economies were
remarkable. He had his brother for a
valet, used to try to sell the two orchestra
seats that went to him by his contracts
on the nights he sang, and was threatened
with suit by a hotel for the damage he
did to the bathroom when he cooked
macaroni there. He never lost any of his
money through extravagant living.
The actress of an older generation seem
to have been much more fortunate In their
investments than some of those who suc
ceeded them. Maggie Mitchell has lived
for more than twenty years In retirement
on the fortune she made and kept while
an actress. Lett a Crabtree Is Just as rich,
and Henrietta Chapman, who died on her
New Jersey farm the other day, had kept
her fortune.
Mrs. Barney Williams, who died In her
home on the upper West Side a few years
ago, left the fortune that belonged to her
and her husband. Mary Anderson had
when she retired from the stage to marry
rich New Yorker most of the thousands
she had earned during her career.
Fanny Davenport used to be - accounted
the richest of American actresses, but she
left nothing. Richard Mansfield's fortune
was much less than It was supposed to be.

Fannin the Villain.
Lawrence J. Anhalt, business manager for
David Warfleld, brings In from the road
the story of the manager of a thrilling
melodrama. In one scene of which a hue-
band enters one door an Instant after an
admirer of his wife haa made his exit from
another.
During a run of a week In one elty th
manager noticed that one man, obviously
from the country, went In every night.
Finally he remarked to the man that he
must enjoy the performance.
"Tolerably so," replied the playgoer, "but
