UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER
PEPPER SAYS THE OUTLOOK
is ENCOURAGING.
REASONS FOR HIS OPTIMISM
settlement OF BOUNDARY DIS
PuTEs AND EXTENSION OF
EXISTING LINES.

Washington, March 14.-Charles M.
Pepper, appointed by President Rcose-
welt as commissioner to carry cut The
recommendations of the second inter-
national American conference held in
Mexico two years ago with regard to
the Pan-American railway, has sub
mitted his report to the state depart
ment by which it will be transmitted
to congress.
The second conference created a
permanent committee with headquar-
ters in Washington, of which ex-Sena-
tor H. G. Davis is chairman and An
drew Carnegie is a member. The 9th
or members are the ambassador from
Mexico and the ministers from Peru
and Guatemala.
Commissioner Pepper spent a year
In visiting the various countries. His
inquiries covered the general subject
Of trade opportunities that would re-
suit from railroad building, as well as
actual railway construction.
The report says that the general
project of an intercontinental line
which ultimately will place New York
and Buenos Ayres in through railway
communication, is receiving much en-
couragement. At the present time
about 4,S0O miles are lacking and the
estimated cost of construction is
placed at S15O,0O0, 900. This is based
on an average of SO cents gold as a
daily wage for labor. with an eff1cien-
cy Of Is per cent, Is compared with
similar labor in the United States.
States the Specific Causes.
Commissioner Pepper gives five
specific causes which have contributed
to advance the intercontinental project
as well as railway building in general.
Some of the developments have taken
place since the beginning of the pres.
ent year. The encouraging causes as
specified in the report are:
First-Progress at both ends as
shown in simultaneous action by Mex.
leo on the north and the Argentine
Republic on the south to extend their
railway lines SO that one will reach
the border of Guatemala and the other
will pass the frontier of Bolivia.
Second-The settlement of disputed
boundaries and other questions which
heretofore have caused the countries
to be Indifferent to railway intercourse
among themselves.
In1rd-Ine law passed by the Cnl
lean congress for the tunnel through
the Andes, which will enable the LONG
deferred through railway connection
between Buenos Ayres and Valparaiso
to be made.
Fourth-Legislation by several OF
the republics with a view to offering
greater inducements for foreign CAPT.
tai to engage in railway construction
and especially the law passed by the
Peruvian congress a few weeks age
which establishes a permanent rail
way guaranty fund of $1,000, 900 an.
nuaily out of the proceeds of the to
bacco tax.
Fifth-The definite determination Of
the Panama canal question.

MoNTANA's AGRICULTURAL Ex-
HIRIT AT ST. LOUIS.
ITS POINTS OF EXCELLENCE
None Will Be More CompIete-Quality
Of Grains Shown May Not
Be ExcelIed.

II Montana's agricultural exhibit
does not win some of the prizes at
the St. Louis exposition and come
home futtering with blue ribbons, Pro-
fessor Linield of the state agricul-
tural college will be a very much dis
appointed and surprised man. The
professor had supervision of gathering
the exhibit, which was started from
Butte several days ago and upon its
arrival at st. Louis vas to be stored
until such time as the building in
which it is to be shown was ready
for it's reception. A car was required
to forward it. In speaking of the col
lection to a Butte newspaper Professor
Linfield SAID:
''The car sent forward contains
samples of the various agricultural
products of the state. l am convinced
that no other state will have a more
complete display of these products
than Montana.
I'm the a were samples of alfalfa,
timothy, olue-joint, clover and sheaf
samples of several hundred native
grasses. These were all sent in sheaf
form and include the richest products
of the state. In the matter of grains,
wheat, corn, barley, oats, rye, peas,
we're all included, and a fine display
of these can be seen on exhibit. With
each of these samples will be a brief
outline of the success in growing each
and the yield.
Results of Irrigation.
ION irrigated land the average
yield in wheat is SO bushels to the
acre; in oats Is bushels; in barley 60
bushels. On the dry land the yield
is not SO good.
"Wheat averages 40 bushels, oats
SO and barley 40 bushels to the acre,
But in size Of grain and hardness, ]
venture to say, no state in the union
cam surpass Montana.
"In preparing the exhibit have
been impressed with the nne condl
ton of the samples sent me. Fighter
counties are to be represented, and
these run from the extreme east tc
west and north to south. In this way
Montana will be properly shown as
included among agricultural states
and not entirely a mineral state.
Yellowstone Valleys Speciality.
1.-The average crop of alfalfa in the
Yellowstone valley, which is specially
adapted to it, is six to seven tons
an acre, with three crops a year. Other
hay products, as already stated, are
very satisfactory, as the grasses seen
filled with juices and in a dry state
are as valuable as when green.
MANY of the sheepmen in the east
ern part of the state 0 prefer thu
dry feed in winter for their stock tt
the range"
In closing his interview Professor
aLinfield made special acknowledgment
of the assistance he received in gath
ering and preparing the exhibit from
Frank H. Spragg, a graduate of tn
agricultural college.
