Home Markets Necessary.

yt HOME Markets necessary .q
"The question which will bother us,
is not the question Of productivity by
dry land farming or otherwise, it is
the question Of home markets. How
are we going to dispose of such large
amounts of grain? VIZ are going to
be embarrassed by our own prosperity.
One hundred million bushels Of wheat
thrown IN the market within the next
five years will lower the market value
Of wheat perceptibly. Railroad rates
are already prohibitive. At present
these rates will not allow the Montana
farmer to ship his products at a profit.
What will he do when the price Of
wheat is lowered by his own produc-
ton? That 100, o 10000 bushels Of
wheat must be disposed of locally. Al
ready some Of u yields per acre aver
age much higher than those of the far
famed Mississippi valley. How are we
going to meet these exigencies, the
conditions that will arise?
"At the present time the business Of
stock fattening, s~laughtering and pack
ing, known as stock finishing which
has heretofore been done largely in
tChi-bronspd
Chicago and the east Is travelling
westward. Nebraska and Dakota are
rapidly becoming the largest stock
finishing states. This is caused by
the fact that the stock raiser, who
for many years Thought that the only
ration for his cattle was corn, that
corn was king for feeding purposes,
Is finding that grass and foods OBJ.
tanned on the western prairies makes
a far better finishing ration. He is
finding that his cattle no longer take
the prizes at the fat stock shows, and
moreover he is learning that he can
dispose Of his corn at q better price
over the scales than he a by feed
ing 1t to cattle and selling beef. Corn
is becoming too valuable for use as 9
finishing ration.
"And above all western states now
superseding the eastern states az
finishing states Montana is especially
favorable for such work.
Best Range Cattle.
He said that Montana grass alone
produced the finest range cattle in thu
west. But the passing Of the oper
range will force Montana into the fin
fishing business, or force the farmers
out Of business altogether.
"And this is not because Of lack o
grass or lack Of quality" he SAID.
1.-THE grass Is still here, but the set
tiers are rapidly appropriating thu
water. Every water hole, every spring
every creek is settled upon by som.
homesteader, and the result is tina;
our range cattle are thin, not becaus.
OF lack Of grass, but because Of lacl
Of water. We can no longer produc'
fat sheep and cattle on the presen'
range.
"steps should be taken now to ed
, tablish packing plants in all our cen
trail cities. We have the advantage
Of two markets here In Montana, th'
eastern markets and the western mar
kets In Seattle and Tacoma. Even tn,
central states are yearly shipping
their beef right across Montana Il
, Seattle and Tacoma. The western
market should be ours. And this stat
: could produce cattle enough to over
come the %difterential in freight rates.

CITY PAYS FOR
NOTHING
FOURTH WARD SEWER KNOCK
ED OUT AND COST OF WORK
ON PLANS Is THROWN AWAY

The assessment rolls for the
Fourth ward sewer, against which
there were several hundreds.pro-
tests, were not confirmed by the
city council last night. The rea-
sons for the objection were chiefly
that many homes are built from
the streets and the cost of con-
Meeting with a sewer in the street
would be. greater than to connect
on the alleys, and that most prop
erty owners are financially unable
to bear. the burden of tax. These
rolls, Councilman Dalke stated,
were prepared at an engineering
cost of about $500. Thus that
money is wasted.
The wasting of money in such
manner is question which sever
al councilmen are working on with
the view of saving the expense.
By resolution recently the council
caused publication of dates when
improvement plans may be seen
in the. engineers Office before the
expense of preparing assessment
rolls has been contracted. When
this rule is finally working the
needless expense will be overcome.
But there are still a large number
of assessment rolls unconfrmed
under the old plan.

finance committee reports that
there is liberal response to the
fund that is being raised for the
construction of the tabernacle for

that all money paid in is loan

In accordance with the decision

for the election next Tuesday will

appear on the left and the superior
court nominees on the right. 1t will
be necessary to place an X after
each mans name on the judiciary
ticket, as the absence of a party
emblem removes the possibility of
