Synopsis
Excerpt from First Official Report of the State Reform School of the State of Montana: To His Excellency: John E. Rickards, Governor of Montana, December 1, 1894
When we took possession of the land it was wholly in its primeval state. The transformation which has been wrought in a single season has been a matter of wonder to all who have seen it.
The amount of vegetable products raised upon the land, as shown in a detailed report of the Director, will be an important factor in lessen ing the expense of the maintenance of the institution.
The Director recommends the purchase of additional lands for the use of the institution. With this recommendation we most heartily concur. There is a forty-acre tract immediately adjoining the one which the institution is located, owned by a non-resident, which we believe could be purchased at a reasonable price, and which we believe would be of great value to the institution; but the particular figures at which it could be purchased we have not been able, owing to the non-residence of the owner, to obtain.
