OF INTEREST TO MONTANA.
Agricultural Report Gives Figures Re.
lating to Cost of Growing Grain.

Washington, Dec. 7.-There is much
Of interest to Montana in the annual
report of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, made public today
Speaking of the work against for
est insects, the report tells of the
methods of bark beetle control which
were carried on in areas in Montana
and Colorado. In cooperation with
private owners in the vicinity of
Columbia Falls, Mont, over 10000
trees were treated. Formerly 10000
trees died each year, but as the re-
suit of last years work only 1000 re-
quired treatment this year within All
area of more than 100 square miles.
Work done in cooperation with the
interior department on the Glacier ma
tional park resulted in the treatment
of 1895 trees in the vicinity of Nc
Donald lake, and the indications are
that the work has been successful in
arresting the spread of the damage.
AS to animal preservation, the re-
port says that as an experiment two
small herds of elk were transferred
from Wyoming to the National Bison
range in Montana, and careful con
sideration has been given to the feast
bility of moving others to the Medi-
cine Bow mountains and the Big Horn
range next winter, to prevent their
extinction from lack of food.
No damage was done to the Ma
tional Bison range by the forest fires
of 1910, although they ranged around
it only a short distance away. Fifteen
buffalo calves were born this spring
and three adult buffalo, presented by
the American Bison society, were
placed on the range. Twelve antelope
from the Yellowstone National park
and seven elk from Jackson's Hole
Wyo., were added to the range. Four
of the antelope died. The game on
the range in July was sc buffalo,
eight antelope and seven elk. The
American Bison society is planning in
cooperation with the department to
secure ground for an additional bison
range in South Dakota.
The bureau of statistics figured on
the cost of crop production, and it Is
stated that the average cost of pro-
ducing wheat in Montana was Al
cents per bushel, including rental
charges, and of oats % cents per
bushel.
Reporting on the work of the state
experiment stations, it is stated that
the Montana station observed that
where the moisture content of the
soil was good the nitrate formation
was relatively high. The great bene-
fit from summer fallow was due to
nitrates accumulated in the moist soil
during the fallow season, which gives
a rapid growth the following year, SO
that the crop usually has advanced
beyond the stage of liability to SER
lous injury before the dry period of
the year arrives

A New Weapon of Democracy

In their fight to win back for them
selves the control of their government
the people are seiZing eagerly upon
new weapon, the presidential pref
erence primary. Two years ago it
was unknown in America Today it
is in operation in five states, it's adop-
tion is probable in several others be-
fore the national conventions next
summer and there is constantly in
creasing demand for it in various Sec
tions. Yet because it is so new it
may merit word of explanation.
The presidential primary provides
that the people shall be permitted to
go to their nominating primaries and
express their preference for the can.
didates of their parties for president
of the United States. The decision
of the majority of the party in any
state then becomes binding upon that
states delegation in the national con.
vention.
The will of the people is thus sub.
stituted for the rule of central com.
mitteemen, of office-holders and in
general of that system of political
control which we call "the machine ;,
10 take a concrete example: On
the nineteenth of next April, the
/ voters OF Oregon (which, by the way.
was the first to adopt this systeml
will go to the primaries to nominate
candidates for office. They will there
be given an opportunity to vote for
their favorite candidate for president

on his willingness to accept it as part
of the governments function to regu-
late affairs of private business.

Immediately after the case was called.
Personal pleas of not guilty were en-
tered and the examination of venire-
men begun.
Richmond Dean, general manager of
the Pullman company, fellow club
member with most Of the defendants,
who was passed in the morning ses-
sion, was challenged by the govern
ment in the afternoon, in spite Of his
assertion that his friendship with the
defendants would not prevent his rem
dering an impartial verdict.
Robert Grant, an official of the Ma
tional Hinge company, was challenged
when he said he would have conscien-
tious scruples against enforcing a
penalty for violation of the Sherman
law.

ness conduct We're challenged per-
emptorily.

INCREASE REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE PLACES
Result of the Democratic Sen.
a.ors' Request for a Larger
Representation.

More places for republicans on some
Of the powerful Senate committees have
been decided upon by the republican COM
inittee on committees. This action is gen.
orally taken because the republicans have
granted the democratic request that they
may be given more places. and thus an
increase of republicans is necessary in
the opinion of the dominant party to pre-
serve the balance of power
The republican membership of the COM
mittee on agriculture will be increased
from eight to nine. on appropriations
from eight to ten. on interstate commerce
from eight to nine, naval affairs from
seven to eight.
In accordae,ce with the agreement
reached between Senator Gal niger, on
behalf of the republicans, and Senator
Martin. on behalf Of the dep.. rats the
democrats will get additionN members
on many committees
On the committee on agriculture the
democratic membership will be increased
from five to seven, on appropriations
from five to seven. on commerce from
six to seven. on finance from five to six,
on foreign relations from five to six. on
interstate commerce from five to seven,
on judiciary from six to seven, on naval
affairs from four to six and on post
Offices from five to seven.

While the ratio of four to five or seven
to nine has been observed on many of the
committees, that has not been followed
In the case of the committee on finance
which is in charge of tariff and other
revenue bills. On that committee the re-
publicans will have nine members and
the democrats six. If two of the repub-
lican members are progressives, as is ex-
pected, the democrats and progressives
will have a majority of the votes. But
should one democrat vote with the repub-
lican regulars, the regulars would be in
control. If the democrats were given
seven members on the committee.
the regulars would lose control unless
two democrats voted with them.
Both the republican and the democratic
committee on committees met yesterday
afternoon separately, and made progress
in the work OF committee assignments.
1t is believed the republican committee
will be ready to make known its selec-
tons the first of next week, and the
democratic body will not be far behind
Until the committees are announced
the business Of the Senate practically is
