al men out gathering samples of grain
and vegetables the fret part Of the
week, which be boxed up and sept TO
the exhibiting rooms of the Great
Northern in St. Paul. Some very 6ne
grain is shown in the Great Northern

not take q back seat any time. The
grain in these parts is wonderful.

some one had made targets of five
head of his horses that we're running

Chinook Opinion: The county
board of equalization will owen
next week to wind up the work. 1t
was found last week before ADJOURN
ing that the Ruby Gulch mining CON-
pany's report Of net earnings had not
been fled in this county and conse-
quently did not appear for assess
ment. The report was ordered sent In
and the board adjourned until it
should be received.
Ravre Plaindealer: The Great
Northern Railway company estimates
that five million bushels Of grain will
be shipped of the Montana division
of the road this year, and it is prob.
able that at least q fourth OF this grain
should pass through Havre. 1t Is
estimated that this additional busi-
ness. together with what will come
through Havre from the Butte-G Great
FALLS division of the road, with the
live stock business, will practically
double the present force of employees
of the road.
Conrad Independent: A number OF
the farmers have been complaining OF
late about reckless automobile drivers,
and state that accidents have been
averted only by narrow margins, and
by sheer good luck, on numerous &C.
casions. 1t is charged that some OF
the drivers run at q high rate of speed
along the country roads, and pay lit
tie attention to teams they meet or
pass. There is a strict state Law
against speeding ven OF the country
roads, and If the charges made by the
farmers be we'll founded, someone Is
likely to come to grief II more are Il
not exercised.
