Interesting Letter From Republican Subscriber.

Hilger, Mont., June 29, 1917. Dear Sirs: Enclosed you will find $2 for all the news you can put in the semiweekly papfcr. It is surely a treat to get the paper and hear all the news and still be a little ways from home. The weather has been pretty cool this spring. The wheat is about four inches high and some are still sowing flax. It was surely some winter. Our first snow came Sept. 10th and the last one on the 14th of June. The coldest it got here was 46 below, lasting about a week. There was quite a loss of cattle and sheep. We have fine health and getting good wages, S9O a month and board. That has the old Hoosier state beat for wages, I think. Well, I will close, hoping to get the Semi-Weekly as usual, I remain, ARLIE ROWEN.
