TRAINS BY TELEPHONE

Miles City, Aug. 26---A. G. Adams.
confidential clerk of U. J. Frye,
superintendent of telegraph on
the Continental and Milwaukee
systems, who has been in the city
on business with officials connected
with those systems in Miles City,
left this morning for the east after
making arrangements for the trans
fer of the local office to the Leigh
ton block, on the first floor, which
will be vacated by the saddlery.
The transfer will be effected
towards the latter part of next
month.
Concerning the telephone system
which the Milwaukee is installing
along it's line in this locality, Mr..
Adams said that communication by
that method would be established
between Miles City and Marmarth
probably within a month or six
weeks. The line has been in sue
cessful operation between Deer
Lodge and Seattle for long time.
From Marmarth eastward trains
are being dispatched by the tele-
phone method; the line between
Marmarth and Miles City has been
strung but the enstallation of the
entire apparatus is not completed.
The test panels are being put in
but the selectors, which are the
appliances by which the phonist
rings the particular = phone he
desires and cuts out others, are not
installed. The line has been strung
from Miles City to Vananda, and a
little beyond, there is a gap of
about 100 miles to Harlowton
which has not yet been wired.
The line from Deer Lodge to Har.
lowton has been strung, but will
not be in operation for couple of
months, the same absense of vari
Gus appliances, such as test panels
and selectors, ETC., which 60 with

PUBLISH CENSUS FIGURES

The Northern Pacific has Just
produced 72-page booklet con
tanning the complete 1910 consus
figures for the seven northwestern
states traversed by it's lines: Min,
neSOta, Wisconsin, North Dakota.
Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. The booklet shows the
population of all incorporated
cities, towns and villages in these
states for 1890, 1900 and 1910. In
the rear of the booklet are also
given summaries of agricultural
and industrial statistics for the
seven states. Another table shows
population of all the cities in the
country having over $4,000, to-
gether with the population of the
10 largest cities in the world
According to the booklet, the
total percentage of increase of all
the United States in the last 10
years was 81 per cent, while the
total percentage of increase of the
seven northwestern states in the
same 10 years was 81 per cent.
This shows the greater degree of
development which has taken
place in the northwest than in the
other portions of the country.
A copy of the booklet may be
obtained on request of the general
passenger office of the Northern
Pacific railway at st. Paul.

CONSERVE THIS
YEARS RAINFALL
VALUED AT $4OO PER ACRE

Washington Aug. 26. - Four
hundred dollars per acre is the
maximum price now placed on
western coal lands under the pol
icy of per-ton valuation. Until
the new plan of selling coal lands
was adopted, these areas were pur-
chasable at from $40 to $40 an
acre, according to whether the
land was within Is miles of rail
road. TO date there have been
examined and classified under the
new selling plan approximately
57,O0O,OOO acres. and all of the
coal lands withdrawn under the
Roosevelt order are being thus ex-
amined and priced as fast as the
work can be accomplished by the
geological survey.
Under the present scheme of
classifying government coal land
56,O89,214 acres of withdrawn land
had been, on Aug. 1, examined in
geologic detail and classified by
the United States geological sur
vey. The lands found to contain
workable coal beds aggregated
16,873,37O acres. These lands i'm
4O-acre tracts have been appraised
by the survey at total valuation
of $711, 1,992,537, in prices ranging
from the minimum figure stated in
the coal law-$1O or 500 an acre,
according to whether the land is
located within Is miles of the
railroad-tO figures of over S4OO
an acre, where the thickness of
the coal beds may aggregate 60,
80, or 100 feet, or even more.
At the minimum prices which
were i'm effect here before the gov.
ernor Withdrawals of coal lands
the 16,S73,37O above referred to
would have been priced at only
1926, ,652,43 the difference i'm
favor of the public revenue at the
prices being therefore $445,34O,1 JOG.
Under the provisions of the nation
al irrigation law the proceeds from
the sales of coal land are credited
to the reclamation fund" so that
government irrigation has, as it
were. considerable trust fund |
for future operations.

Montana Has been Visited With
a Fairly Plentiful Supply Of
Rain. Conditions Are Ideal
For Sowing the Winter CeraI
on Summer FaIIowed Land.
(By Thomas Shawl

Montana has been visited with
fairly plentiful supply of rain in
many localities, such visitation is
almost unheard of in the state. In
many places the rain that fell in
the first week in August, exceeded
two inches. The damage to the
crop that was being harvested
caused some loss, but the extent
of the loss is not to he compared
with the benefit that will result
from the rain.
1t is now generally conceded
that the winter wheat crop will
continue to be the great money
crop of the conditions ideal for
sowing winter wheat on summer
fallowed land and it brings one of
the few seasons when wheat may
be sowed on stubble land.
In another way, however, this
rainfall may be made to work
great good. 1t has put moisture
well down into stubble land. If
much of it could be kept from
getting away, the effect upon the
crop of next spring will be very
beneficial. How can it be kept in
the soil! In two ways. BY the
first the land will be disked as
soon as grain is cut. BY the sec
Ond it will be disked and narrowed
as soon as plowed. The land that
has been disked may be plowcd
later if Necessary, or it may go over
to the following spring in the
disked form. But usually it will
be preferable to plow it. Every
effort should be put forth as far as
this may be possible to save the
in the soil.
In many places the sod has been
wet down far enough to make it
plow nicely, could time be secured
to to do this work. This of course
does not apply to all parts of the
state, but it does in many places.
The autumn is not so good a time
to plow such land as the spring,
but it is always matter of much
moment to plow sod land at a
season when the work is not over
laborious.
The influence that the rain that
has thus fallen may be made to
may be far-reaching. 1t
may be made to give much aid to
the crop of 1912. 1t puts the
farmer in a position to prepare at
least portion of his land in way
that would not be possible in a
very dry autumn, of course farmers
are very busy with their harvest
ing at present, and because of this
they may not be able to do much
that they would to do as outlined
above. Every effort. however.
should be put forth in the direc-
ion indicated.
The rains have been generous
Dakota, both North
md South, at least in many places,
hence the farmers in both of these
states may save moisture in the
ways indicated as well as those in
Montana.
