April 11, 1918. "Things High in Montana". -- Hoosac, Montana, April 2, 1918. -- G. M. Waterman, Sidney, Iowa -- Here's a check for $2: $1.50 for the paper and 50 cents for "smokes". Well, it has snowed the last three nights and also Easter Sunday, so I suppose according to the old sign, we are to have snow for seven Sundays. I was over to Denton and bought 120 pounds of seed corn; cost me $19.20. There was less than a two bushel sack full, and I got it five cents a pound less than other places handling same corn -- mine $13. I went to Hoosac for feed oats and got a box with a pair of sideboards on -- cost me $92. Don't know what a four horse load would cost. Seed oats are $4.30 per bushel. Oh,yes, I forgot to state I was over to Standford the 18th of March and visited over night with W. H. Norcutt. They are well, and Bill said he had paid out over $6000 this winter for hay. He has a fine bunch of Holstein cattle and is only milking 10 cows at present, but will soon be milking 25. Her had just got back from Helena with a fine stallion, a Percheron, and pedigreed-- cosst him $1,800. He has him insured for $1,000. Bill is just the same Bill as of old. -- S. W. W.
