MONTANA GRAIN IMMENSE.
Three Counties Will Yield 6,669, 900
Bushels,

Great Falls, Mont.-The greatest
wheat yield in the history of northern
Montana is predicted by the Great Falls
Board of Commerce as result of care
full estimate based upon statistics gath
cred from three principal wheat grow
ing counties of this section, Cascade,
Teton and Choteau.
Cascade county has more than $4,000
acres in wheat, Teton $4,000 and Cho-
teau $4,000, the greatest in the history
of those counties, and the probable
yield for these three counties is put at
1868, 900 bushels.
Scores of farmers report conditions
that indicate wheat yields of 30 bushels
an acre for 300-acre tracts. Several
Chestnut valley farmers in Cascade
county claim better than 40 bushels
average. Stevens, in Choteau county,
has 1900 acres which will yield better
than 25 bushels an acre.

j. j. HILL TALKS
Tells How to Curb the Trusts, and
Suggests a Law

st. Paul, Mimi There would be no
trusts, in the accepted meaning of the
term, - said James j. Hill, elf we had
federal law requiring every corpora
ton to prove that its capital stock is
fully paid up before it is allowed to do
business in any of our states. That
would prevent false imitation of values
and the wide sale of stock in enterprises
that are not solidly founded.
"There is plenty of money in the
country, and it is being offered at a
low rate of interest for short time loans,
but little of it seems to be going into
the creation of new business enter
prises. On the contrary, much of our
money is going to foreign lands for
investment.

explosion KILLED Il miners
AT SYKESVILLE, Pa,
SUNDAY night.
Cause Is Not Known, AS There Were
No Survivors-Among Last Were
Three Sets of Brothers and Son and
Father - Accident Occurred Mile
and Half from Opening of Mine.

Sykesville, Pa.-Twenty-one miners
were killed in an explosion in the shaft
of the Cascade Coal & Coke company IS
mine at Sykesville, 10 clock Sunday
night
All of the dead but three are foreign
ers. The explosion was slight, as evina-
ed by the small damage done in the
mine, but the deadly damp is responsible
for most of the fatalities
Three sets of brothers and father
and son are numbered among the dead.
George and John Peek, and Nick Pave.
HEX and his Is year old son were found
by the rescuers locked in each other s
arms. None of the bodies were multi
ated, and but few showed burns
Eleven of the men in one heading had
apparently made ready to escape, for
they cleared their dinner pals and were
headed for the opening.
Work of Rescue Is Delayed.
The first intimaton of the explosion
at the surface was when the safety door
on the fan blew open and the machinery
began to run wild, but it was almost
midnight before rescuers could enter the
mine. 1t took some time to get to the
scene of the accident, mile and half
from the opening, because the rescuers
were obliged to carry oxygen with them.
Can't Assign Real Cause.
Neither officials nor mine inspectors
were able to assign cause for the ex-
plosion, as there are no survivors from
which to gain an explanation, but it is
the general belief that some of the men
drilled into a pocket of gas. The shaft
is known as non-gaseous one and Fire
Boss John Brown reports he was
through the heading where the explo-
sion occurred an hour before.
Six men working in another heading
of the mine at the time of the accident
knew nothing of the explosion until the
compressor air drills stopped.
