Good Prices For Farm Products.

TWIN BRIDGES, March 16.-Farmers
and dealers are commencing to ship
potatoes out of this part of the state
In a lively manner, the high prices
paid at the present time being an in.
centive. Several carloads have been
shipped to Helena by the Ruby Valley
Irrigated Farms company of Sheridan.
Others are shipping from Twin Bridges
and other points between here and
Whitehall. The prev ailing price is
said to be from 81 to Sl.10 a hundred
weight.
Dealers report that oats are very
scarce and consequently the price has
gone soaring, from $3.50 to Sl.75 be-
ing offered. The scarcity is due to
the crop being cleaned up last fall and
shipped east for cereal purposes. Be.
cause of the early frost last fall far
mers complain that there is very little
seed wheat in this section. Gallatin
valley is able to furnish only q limited
supply of spring wheat and leading
farmers say they will have to look to
points outside the state for 1t.

Will Instruct Settlers.
Great Falls Leader,

In conformity with the plans of the
United States reclaim alton service
heretofore announced practical
irrigationist has been employed in
connection with the Fort Shaw unit
of the Sun river project for the pur.
pose of demonstrating to the farmers
who settle upon that land the proper
methods by which to cultiv ate their
land and by which to utilize the ater.
G. L. Schow, who has been in the
employ of the government for some
time in like capacity in Colorado,
has arrived in the city from Holly,
COL, and has taken up his head
quarters at Fort Shaw.
Mr.. Schow is an experinced man
and his duty will be that of looking
after the demonstr alton farms which
have been set aside and which will be
cultivated by the reclaim alton service
for the purpose OF ascertaining just
what crops are best adapted to the
soil and climate at Fort Shaw and he
will also act as an instructor to the
settlers.
Mr.. Schow will devote much of his
attention to the cultivation of sugar
beets, it being the idea that much of
the Fort Shaw land will be utilized In
the growing of this crop with the
view of furnishing material for the
operation of sugar factory which it
is hoped to establish here or at Fort
Shaw next year.

Landusky Man Faces GaIlows.

DEER LODGE, March l6.-William
Hayes, formerly Of Landusky, the
Chouteau county convict sentenced to
die on the gallows April 2, is facing
the situation with the same calm that
was displayed by Rock, who has
already paid the penalty for killing
Warden Robinson during an attempt
of several prisoners to escape from
the penitentiary.
They have no fear in the prison of
Hayes giving way when the time
comes for him to walk from his cell
to the death instrument prepared by
the state as his punishment for the
crime. He accepted the issue calmly
when told that the last effort under
the law had been made for him and
that the sentence of the court must be
carried out.
He has no grudge against any one.
Apparently this condemned man real.
ICES that the attorneys have fought for
him to the end and that he is q victim
of his own criminal intents. At all
times he is cheerful and ready and
willing to talk on almost any subject
save the crime for which he was con.
victed. In that determination he is
firm.
Hayes is now about 30 years of age.
he still carries in his body the two
bullets that were fred at him by
Warden Conley during the memorable
attempt to escape and around his left
ear may be seen the powder marks
testifying to the closeness of the wea-
pom.

INDUSTRIES ARE CLOSING DOWN

st. Paul, Dec EVERY line of in
dustry in the Twin Cities, Duluth,
Superior and all cities of the north
west dependent on the movement of
supplies are seriously affected by the
lswitehmen's strike.
II is estimated that upward Of 49,
600 men are made idle. and thou
sands of freight handlers and team
sters are losing time as the result of
the freight blockade in the terminal
towns while the continuance of the
strike will throw additional thousands
out OF work. Yards are filled with
stalled freight trains.
The railroad managers announced
that they are bringing switchmen to
st. Rul to take the places of the
strikers.
Hawley responded: LET them
come. we will not object"
The first business affected were
wholesale and commission houses,
which reported nothing moving.
The Minneapolis -four mills closed
last night. 1t is estimated that $500
mill employees are idle. The continue
ton of the strike will throw out
1900 more employed by the cooper
age allied trades.
In the stock yards 800 head of cat
tie were received where 1900 Is the
daily average.
In the iron range country the small
towns will soon face famine unless
food is brought in. In Superior 800
men are laid of at the Great North
ern machine shops.
On the ore docks at Duluth and
Superior 10000 will soon be out OF
employment.
st. Paul and Minneapolis are dis
tributing points for Minnesota. north
ern Wisconsin, northern Iowa, North

Idaho, but the most serious effect
will be in Montana, where the copper
mines and smelters are located.
Unless the railroads can carry ore
and coal to the shelters. operations
will cease. The shelters coke sup

That al hopes of settlement are
ended was Indicated by the departure
