Will Build a
Grain House
Peterson and Lewis Will
Begin Work at Early
Date

We have definitely decided TO
build an elevator in Cut Bank and
1T will be ready to receive grain in
side of sixty days" said Mr.. Peter
son of Minneapolis, member of the
grain firm of Peterson & Lewis.
Mr.. Peterson, in company with
X. L. Taft and D. B. Donahue, drove
out yesterday morning to look ov-
er the grain fields in the vicinity of
Cut Bank. The situation looked
good to Mr.. Peterson and he was
frank to say so.
Another representative of an ele-
vator company whose name the Pho.
neer Press has not been able to
learn is now looking over the crops
in the community and it is stated
that his firm has serious intentions
of building a grain house here this
autumn.
Another matter that has occupied
the attention of one or two local
business men is that of freight rates
on grain from this point to the twin
city terminals. The following let
ter from w. p. Kenney, traffic man
ager of the Great Northern Rail-
way, is self explanatory:
Mr.. Daniel Whetston,
President Commercial Club,
Cut Bank, Montana.
Dear Sir
Referring to your letter of the
21st. in regard to rates from Cut
Bank on grain.
| have written this date to Mr..
Rasmussen who also took the mat
ter up with me. Mr.. Rasmussen
stating that the rate on grain from
Cut Bank was 45 cents. Thinking
possibly you are under the same i'm
preston, would suggest that you
ask our agent to show you page III
of our tariff 22600, which he has on
file, which names a rate of 33 cents
from Cut Bank to eastern terminals.
The rate from Kalispell is 40 cents,
so you will see you have seven cents
over Kalispell.
Yours truly,
w. p. Kenney.

RetireS from
First National
G. Ed Lukens Sells Stock
to S. L. Potter of
Shelby

Alta semi-annual meeting of the
directors of the First National Bank
of Cut Bank, Tuesday afternoon, an
important transfer was announced;
the sale of the stock in the institu-
tion possessed by G. Ed Lukens to
Samuel L. Potter of Shelby, who has
been stockholder in the bank since
it was taken over by the interests
now in charge. Mr.. Potter, by this
transfer, becomes the owner of a
majority of the shares of stock in
the First National. At a subsequent
election of officers Mr.. Potter was
elected President of the board of
directors. The Pioneer Press un-
derstands that Mr.. Potter and fam
ily are contemplating moving to
Cut Bank and making their perma-
nent home here.
The First National is very con-
servative institution and the Pio-
neer Press understands that there
will be no change of policy under
the Potter regime.
The following officers were elect
ed: Samuel l.. Potter, President;
Martin jacobson, first vice president;
p. HI. Buckley, second vice presi-
dent; r. L. Taft, Cashier.

Fat Year Says Pat

Pat Buckley, monarch of all he
surveys in the Sweet Grass country.
was visitor here Monday evening
and when approached by the Pho
neer Press man delivered himself
after the following fashion: This is
fat year in this section of North
ern Montana, me boy. Whenever
you see the buffalo grass headed out
at this season you can make up your
mind that there will be good grain
crops and fat cattle and sheep for
market. / have been in this section
for twenty one years and have seen
good and bad years, mostly good;
but this is one Of the very good
ones. In our country grass is fine,
grain is promising and everybody
is feeling happy and hopeful"
Mr.. and Mrs. John Anderson of
Bombay were shopping here Mon
day.
VIM. Yunck of Kalispell looked
over his fine fields of grain north
west of town the first part of the
week.

Not a SnakeolOgist

In his innocent, artless way the
editor of the Pioneer Press last
week stated that there were no rat
tlesnakes in this section of Mon
tana. The Pioneer Press was not
in the post Office ten minutes when
Alex Munroe sought out the editor
to tell him he was an amusing ten
derfoot and offered to take him out
and show him snakes Of all colors
and sizes with from one to couple
OF dozen robust rattles.2 The news
man had about concluded that Alex
was either member of the Ana
MAS Club or that he had badly mix
ed his brand of mountain dew when
along comes Donald MacRae with
tales of big rattlers near his sheep
camp. Mac stated that the var
mints were as plenteous as fees on
a mongrel pup and Joe Crevlin was
there to back up his every state
ment, so there was nothing to do
but gracefully retract. In this con-
nection and while on the subject it
might be stated that J. P. Johnson
Mixer, is our most accomplished
snake story teller and johnson is
another to assert that the Pioneer
Press is no authority on snake mat
ters.

Showers and
Sunny Days
Weather of the Week is
Most Propitious for
Growing Grain

AS one enthusiast who has forty
acres of fine oats north of town put
it when discussing the situation, Il
tell you we have a glorious crop in
the Cut Bank country this year,
The adjective is not too strong.
The crop situation continues to i'm
prove daily. Cool days, an occa-
sional shower to moisten the grain
and the earth's surface, just enough
warm sunshine to assure proper de-
velopment and filling; these are the
conditions that have prevailed since
the last crop report of the Pioneer
Press.
If conditions continue like this
for two weeks more we shall thresh
80 bushels of oats to the acre" said
Russell Beckett to the writer one
day this week. Others are talking
in a similar VEN. Wheat, oats, fax
and other small grains are advanc-
ing rapidly toward maturity.
Perhaps the editor of the Pioneer
Press and the local crop enthusiasts
are looking thru colored glasses?
Listen to the following from strict
ly unprejudiced outside source. Let
this man talk. Who is this man?
Mr.. A. M. Shaw, one of the staff of
Great Northern Railway expert
mental farm supervisors. Mr.. Shaw
has been all over Montana this
season and is in position to speak
authoritively.

morrow and planned a personal call,

out to see the experimental farm

found it in excellent shape. In fact
it is one of the finest stations in the
state, both from crop standpoint
and the manner in which it has been
conducted. Mr. Hope certainly
should be given credit for the very
careful manner in which he has car
ried out Instructions. The outlook
at present is for large yield of all
grains grown and there also is as
fine stand of alfalfa as could be de-
sired. In fact the crops generally
i'll the vicinity of Cut Bank are bet
ter than at any other point farther
east along the main line of the
Great Northern Railway. Alfalfa,
durum wheat, white hulless barley,
Abundance oats, speltz and corn,
one acre each, are growing on the
local farm and all are looking fine.
Hope to be able to return at a later
date and to stay longer.
Yours truly,
A. M. SHAW.

drawing seven all steel mail cars
and two Pullmans, ran three miles
in one minute and 81 seconds. The
first mile was made in 38 seconds,
the second in 81 and the third in

Bank community. Mr.. Grina re-
ports big sales in haying machinery
