To Benefit the Public.

The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha railroad, ever mindful for
the comfort of its passengers has start
ed a sort of a school for the enEghten-
ment of it's agents and for the comfort
of the people. Questions covering every
phase of train service and travel
have been sent to agents and they are
expected to learn their lessons so they
can answer any question regarding
travel and also to answer cheerfully
and pleasantly. Under General Pas
senger Agent Teasdale there will be
no surly agents hereafter or any excuse
for passengers to go astray.

John O'Donnell, state labor commits
sioner, has compiled figures showing
the increase of business and wages in
the large cities of the state, in the
past ten years. In Minneapolis wages
have increased an average of S.9 per
cent in that time; in ST. Paul, SO, and
in Duluth, 22.6 per cent. The value
of manufactured products increased
1873 per cent in Minneapolis, 1877 in
st. Paul, and 2O.6 in Duluth. Capital
invested in manufacturing increased
35.3 per cent in Minneapolis, 25.4 per
cent in St. Paul, and 66.4 per cent in
Duluth.
The average wages paid male en-
ployes in ST. Paul are $49163 a year;
to female employees $266.71, and to
children under 16, $144.40 year. The

FLOUR MILLS
OF MONTANA
Twenty-one of Them Are Grinding
Our Wheat.
PROSPECT FOR MORE COMING IN
Is Good and the Demand Tor Their
Product Is Constantly Increasing
Over the State-first Mill Was in
the Bitter Root.

According to the annual report of
the state bureau of agriculture, labor
and industry, the first flour mill
erected in what is now Montana was
at st. Mary's mission, in the Bitter
Root valley, near the town of Stew
ensville, the Jesuit fathers, DeSmet
and Ravalli, having the work in
charge; and the first mill on the east
side was built at Bozeman in 1865.
known as the Meadow mill. Both
of these mills are entitled to be
classed as pioneer industries, though
it is perhaps needless to say that the
figures here given do not include
their products. They have long since
passed into history. From these
small beginnings has grown a thriv-
and equipments, exercising great in
fuence over the grain production of
the state. In fact, the facilities for
flour manufacture have far outstrip-
ped the supply of wheat.
There are 81 flourng mills in Mon
tana, representing an investment of
$75O,OOO They employ total Of SO
persons. pay in wages and salaries
nearly $4,000 year, and their year.
ly output is valued at more than ST.
100000. The great bulk Of the wheat
ground is grown in the state, al
though some is shipped from Dako-
to to keep the mills running. Only
two. of the mills are operated 50
weeks in the year. The plants are
classed as to capacity as follows:
Less than 100 barrels a year 80. 1
100 barrels to 499 barrels ........ l
500 barrels to 500 barrels ........
1000 barrels to 1899 barrels -. 4
5000 barrels to 1899 barrels -.
10000 barrels to 99,999 barrels. 49,. 4
As to the character of the work
done, they are divided as follows:
Merchant only. 10; custom or ex-
"hange only, 3; both merchant and
custom, 5.
During the past year it is estimated
that 1,275,455 bushels Of wheat were
made into -four and feed, slight fall

to the destruction of large plant by

made from each bushel of wheat
ranges from 1872 to A, with an aver
age of ALB pounds, making the total

which has value ranging from $1.40
to $205 per hundred. besides feed,
amounting to 23,5S5,917 pounds,
worth an average of II cents per hun
bred, Montana flour enjoys an envia-
hle reputation among the citizens of
the state, and with proper facilities
for more extended irrigation this
product must undoubtedly increase
sufficiently to furnish flour for eX-
port, while stock feeding will make
a market for all other mill products.
Among the recent additions to the
splendid milling properties of the
state is that of the Western Milling
company of Mlssoula. owned by Sen
ator W. A. Clark This mill has an
elevator, with a capacity of $4,000
bushels, and is operated by electri-
city. It's present capacity will be en-
larged and will undoubtedly largely
increase the wheat acreage of Mis-
soula county, and insure the farmers
a ready cash market for all the grain
they can grow.
Aside from the wheat -four, Mon
tanas mills ground $500 bushels t
corn, 5.485 bushels of rye, 81 bushels
of buckwheat, and 2,195 bushels of
barley.
The increase in the production of
cereals in Montana has led to very
material changes in the facilities for
handling it, and the number and ca
pacity Of the grain elevators in the
state have kept pace with all neces-
sity, and today they are sufficient to
meet every demand. BY far the
greater number of these are along
the line of the Northern Pacific rail-
way, as that line passes through the
older agricultural regions of the
state, where the greatest develop
ment of irrigation has been accom-
plished. Located on the main line
or branches of this road are some of
the finest mills and elevators in the
Northwest.
At Billings, the Babcock Hardware
company has an elevator with a ca
pacity of $4,000 bushels, which is
well equipped.
At Big Timber, the Montana Trad
ing company's mill has a warehouse
with storage capacity Of 1000
bushels.
At Livingston, the A. w. Miles
warehouse will accommodate 10000
bushels.
Bozeman, located in the famous
Gallatin valley, has several capacious
elevators, and is without doubt the
best equipped in this direction Of
any city in the state. The Benepe-
Owenhouse company elevator has a
capacity of 100000 bushels. The
farmers and Merchants Elevator
company's will hold 10000 bushels /;
the Nelson Story mill elevator, 100,.

New York. some $6,OO0,0OO will be
spent in Pittsburg, and $5,OOO,OOO
