John Remley Tells About His Claims in Montana.

John Bemley and brother Will are planning to return before long to their homes in Montana, where John and two children, Opal and Estel, went a year ago and took out claims. The Republican last fall stated that they entered 160 acres each, but it should have said 320- acres each, their total holdings, being 960 acres. Two of the farms adjoin, while the third is a mile distant The land is in Dawson county, Which is almost as large as the state of Indiana, but as it Is populated it is divided into smaller counties and a plan of division is now on that will put their farms with 10 miles of a county seat while railroad surveys will put them within four miles of a road. John has 120 acres of his land fenced and will be able to raise a crop this year without having it destroyed, by range which happened last year. He has considerable land broken and tihe fall rains assure a good crop the coming season. Cows there are so high that the price is prohibitive and John expects to take tour or five head with him, as he will have room in a car he has arranged for.
