AS SEEN IN MONTANA


Present Blockade Declared the Most
Complete of All.
Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, April 1.-The traffic
east from Montana over the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern has been COM
pletely suspended on account of high
water in North Dakota. The only east
ern outlet Montana has is by the Bur-
lington from Billings and the Oregon
Short Line at Butte. The tie-up is the
most complete in the history of north
western railroading, even exceeding that
caused by the recent blizzard.
Local officers of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern say, however, they
will be able to send passengers out to-
night and land them in the twin, cities
about on time by making transfers across
the North Dakota waters, but the bulk
of the eastern travel is going by the Bur-
lington. Many towns along the Great
Northern are threatened with a food
famine unless the situation is speedily
relieved

Canadian Wheat Likely to
Spoil if 1t Is Not
Marketed.
The G. P. RS Refusal to
Haul 1t Causes Stagna-
ton of Business.

Floods in Manitoba and other portions
OF western Canada have reopened the
question OF transportation for Canadian
wheat Rivers are going over their banks
in some sections and the melting Of the
recent big fall of snow, together with the
fact that the frozen ground will not abb
sogb the water, threatens the entire prai-
RE section with a wet season continuing
for several weeks. Canadian business
men predict that as a result large guam
titles of wheat awaiting Transportation
will be spoiled unless it can be moved at
once. 1t is also believed that the ex-
IRENE conditions will again force a de-
mand from the Canadian farmers and
business men for relief by sending more
wheat to American terminals
Local grain men are watching the stu
alton with much interest They have be-
come convinced that for time at least
there is no use In endeavOrng to bring
Canadian wheat here unless the condi-
lions force the Canadian farmers and
business men into a protest for relief
which the Canadian Pacific and Canadian
Northern must heed. The threatening
floods have injected a new feature into
the situation. The Canadian roads and
elevators have been relying upon the
early opening of navigation to relieve the
terminals at Fort William and Port Ar
thur and thereby enable them to handle
the situation alone without the interven-
ton Of American roads The prospects of
a wet season and that coming on fast
with big wheat loss in sight as a result
may force the Canadian roads into new
concessions.
Canadian Business Injured.
Transportation is king in the Canadian
wheat situation and the velvet glove COW
ering the mailed fist is thin. The farmer
Of western Canada is unable to realize
on his crop and business in the various
towns Is stagnant as result. The combi-
nation formed by the line elevators, COM
mission men and the railroads to keep
Canadian wheat locked up in Canada un-
til the Canadian roads can pull it east
has worked successfully. Local elevator
men who sent buyers to Canada to nego-
tiate for wheat from the independent eIe-
vator companies could secure the wheat
at reasonable price, could furnish the
cars, but the Canadian Pacific refused tc
pull the cars In or out Of the congested
districts. The millers who went to the
line elevators to make purchases could
secure the cars from the G.. P. railroad
but the line elevators Immediately raised
the price Of the grain TO a point which
was prohibitive. This, along with the
fact that Canadian cash wheat has
strengthened in price, made it discour-
aging proposition for the millers. If con-
dtions force the Canadian roads to allow
q movement of wheat this Way the Elec-
trio Steel Elevator company and the
Washburn- Crosby company are in a po-
sition to handle considerable quantitie:
of it. ...-

vOcates the OleO Bill.
Washington, April 1.-The senate to-
day resumed consideration of the oleo-
margarin bill. The debate was opened
by Mr.. Heitfeld Qdaho) in opposition to
the measure, the real intent Of which,
he said, was to destroy the oleomargarin
industry
He did not believe that oleomargarin
ever would displace butter in the market.
as those who could afford it would always
purchase butter, but he charged, not
withstanding, that an effort was being
made to drive the oleomargarin industry
to the wall. 1850. ~
In advocating the bill Mr.. Spooner
(Wis.) admitted that oleomargarin was a
healthful product and therefore a legiti-
mate article of commerce. If the bill
were enacted into law, he believed that
the production of olaomargarin under
the flag Of fair play" would increase
rather than diminish. He maintained. in
a legal and constitutional argument, tina
congress was justified in the enactment of
the proposed legislation.

CLAIMS UNIQUE RECORD.
George Burns Believes He is the Most
Patched-Up Man in the World.

The man who claims to be the most
patched-up person in the world is in
Cleveland searching for his long-lost
brother George Burns is his name, and,
according to his story. he is a walking
testimonial to tie ability of the modern
surgeon to patch up the human frame.
The catalogue of Burns Affections and
physical disa bilities reads like list of
the casualties in a mine disaster or
subway explosion.
Burns says that the entire top of his
skull is gone, being replaced by silver
plate which is attached to his right
jaw; five ribs on the left side have been
removed, forcing his heart to the right
side of his anatomy, a portion of his
right hip is missing; one of his legs has
been fractured in three places the other
in two; his elbow joints are a thing of
memory: he is blind in one eye; one OF
his kneecaDs is situated midway down
his shin, and in all thirty-seven pieces
of bone have been removed from his
body Burns says that at one time he
was thought to have passed to the great
beyond. TIE shroud had been prepared,
the coffin was ready, when the supposed
dead man rose to protest against the

Princeton Defeated Columbia.

Princeton, N j.. Oct. 27.-The Columbia
football team was defeated here by the
Princeton eleven by the score of q to @
in the hardest game that Princeton Eas
played this season. Immediately after the
kick Princeton started in on a series ef
heavy line attacks and after zen minutes
of this style of play, supplemented with
a few brilliant runs, FOulke got by Column
bias right end for the first touchdown.
Both teams played hard and fast through
out this half. and at times Columbia made
big gains through Princeton's center and
left. but the latter always forced the Yis-
itors to punt before their goal was en-
dangered.
In the second half the first touchdown
was secured two minutes after the start
a brilliant run around Columbia's right
end by Foulke for As yards. and a 2-yard
plunge by him through left guard. Short
~ after this touchdown Columbia's line
weakened and S. McClave and Moore, who
replaced Hart and Foulke. and r. McClave
carried the leather down the field to the
2c-yard line. S. McClave then circled the
opponents left on difficult and clever
run for the next touchdown. about six
minutes before time was called. During
the remaining time the ball was in Co
lumbia territory most of the time. Dut the
visitors held them down at critical per-
iods and kept Princeton from crossing the
goal again.
