Lumber Rates Reduced.

Under date of November q the
state railroad commission ordered
a reduction, ammounting to ap-
proximately fifteen per cent, in
lumber rates between the lumber
district in northwestern Montana
and other points in Montana along
the lines of the Great Northern.
1t was held that a reduction of
rates was necessary to enable
Montana lumber manufacturers
to compete with those of Idaho
and Washington, who enjoy an
interstate rate. Commissioner
John H. Hall dissented from the
majority decision Of the commits
sion by holding for a considerably
larger reduction in these rates.
Mr.. Hall insisted that the differ
entail of seven cents allowed to
points in the Columbia Falls
territory be increased to nine
cents, holding that this lower rate
would benefit the consumer in
eastern Montana.

the sun is not at it's greatest. If
they do not grow rapidly they

If the ground is still unfrozen

the manure is fresh it should be
under the surface rather than
on the top. If it is to be placed

OF the ground being frozen it
should be manure that is already

action of the rains and frosts at
the first awakening in the spring.
Little decomposition of manure
takes place in the winter, on
account of the cold preventing
the operation of bacteria, and
green manure will decompose
more rapidly in a pile than if

to. This fund cannot be used to
purchase any of the supplies, such
as powder, hay or grain for the
horses, etc, but must be used in
paying for the keep of the con-
victs alone. 1t costs much money
to keep the work going, as teams
must be fed, powder bought, and
numerous other items of expense.
The money is now about used up
which has been available and an
effort is being made to have other
sections of the state which will
be benefited by the road assist in
completing it.
A committee composed of Stan
ley Scarce and A. J. Brewer was
appointed to secure such money
as possible in Roman to assist in
completing the road.
From here Mr.. Bernard went
to Butte and Missoula and the
other two gentlemen returned to
Kalispell.
While here Mr.. Bernard was
asked many questions concerning
the talk he gives on Cows and
SoWs." " He answered in such a
convincing manner that an in
vitation was extended him to
return at an early date and give
the farmers of the reservation
the benefit of his knowledge on
these two important products.
Mr.. Bernard is strong on Cows
and SoWs" for the farmers and
his lecture would be of value to
all farmers who might attend the
and hear him. He has consented
to return and give us the benefit
of this talk and the Pioneer hopes
to be able to give the date of his
return in an early issue.

MISS JESSIE WILSON
WHITE HOUSE BRIDE

The east room of the White
House in Washington was the
scene of a brilliant wedding
Tuesday when Miss Jessie Will
son, one of President Wilson's S
daughters, became the wife of
Francis B. Sayre. There were
over 400 guests present, repre-
senting the entire official life of
the capitol, including members
of the diplomatic corps and their
wives.
The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Sylvester w. Beach, for
many years the presidents
clergyman at Princeton, N. j.
The maid of honor was Miss
Margaret Wilson, sister of the
bride, and the bridesmaids were
Mis- Eleanor Wilson, a younger
sister Miss Mary G. White of
Baltimore, Miss Adeline Scott of
Princeton and Miss Marjorie
Brown of Atlanta, the last rel
ative and the others chums of
the bride. The best man was
DR.. Winfred II. GrenfalI with
whom MIR. Sayre spent many
months ministering to the sick
and needy on theLabrador coast.
The ceremony took place at
400 O'Clock in the Afternoon and
all stood during the period re-
quired for the officiating clergy
man to read the wedding SER
vice. The bride and groom de-
parted at once on a honeymoon
trip which is expected to last
about month, after which they
go to Williamstown, Mass, their
future home.
The gowns of the ladies i,res-;
ent are described as being the
most beautiful and expensive
ever worn in Washington and the
assembled guests presented a
wonderfully brilliant picture dur
ing and after the ceremony and
while the reception was in pro-
gress.
This makes the thirteenth we'd
ding in the historic White House,
but it is not considered a bad
omen on that account.

LONG LEASES BEST IS
THE GENERAL EXPERIENCE

The Inter Ocean very truth
fully defines the leasing situation
as follows:
1t is generally asserted thai
long leases are best, and, other
things being equal, they are.
But very often the so-callec
"other things" are not equal.
If the lease is a satisfactory
one to both parties, then a long
lease is best. But, in the case
of new tenants, neither one
knows for certainty that the
other one will be fair in the
transaction.
The length of the lease must
depend then on this to a large
extent. When one man is salts,
fled with the other, long lease
can be made with mutual adj
vantage.
The short time lease is destruc
tive of the up keep of the farm,
for the tenant has no incentive
to so farm that the soil conditions
will be kept at their best. Natur-
ally such a farmer cannot afford
to adopt a long scheme of crop
rotation, for he might never get
the benefit of a large part of his
labor. Nor will he be likely tc
apply fertilizers Of a kind that
will be years in yielding up
their plant food elements.
There will be small likelihood
that he will apply ground lime
rock to sWeeten the land if sour,
for that is a long lasting improv-
ment. Also he will not care
about turning under clover sod
to increase the humus Of the soil,
for that, too, means present sac
rifice for future good.
! The short-lease farmer cannot
afford to follow any plan Of per-
manent agriculture by which as
much fertility goes into the land
each year as is taken out OF 1t.
His whole temptation is to
Skin" the land and get as much
Of the fertility out of the soil as
he can.
Any community where short
time leases are common will be
found to be a community of de-
cadent farms.
In addition, such a locality will
be poorly provided with educa-
tional facilities, as a general
thing. Poor schools and poor
farming are found in the same
neighborhoods.
The long lease is an expression
of confidence. on the part of the
two men represented in it.

DEVELOPMENT Of POWER
HELP TO CONSERVATION

if the owner of the site would
agree merely to lease his proper
ty for so years, without provision
for renewal, and if he insisted
further upon inserting in the
lease a clause giving him the
right to cancel the lease at any
time after the building was COM
pleted. Building enterprise could
never be financed on any such
basis as that. And yet that is
exactly the policy Of the federal
government today in the matter
of control Of it's water power sites,
be they upon the public domain
or on navigable streams that are
acknowledged to be under feder-
al control. The government owns
innumerable power sites on the
public domain Of the west and it
controls many other power sites
on navigable streams. Public
sentiment in the country is such
that it is not to be expected the
government will relinquish this
control or turn it over to the
states. But just so long as the
federal government insists upon
impossible terms for leasing the
power sites within it's control,
just so long will those sites re-
main undeveloped, for capital
would no more think of investing
SIS, 900, 600 Or $10,000,O00 in a
power proposition of this nature
than it would of investing it's
money in a building proposition
such as outlined. The govern
ment today, under the prevailing
conservation policy, says it is
ready and willing to lease water
power sites, and it is, but the
term it exacts are such as to dis
courage investment. What is the
result? American capital goes to
Canada or elsewhere, if still bent
upon water power development,
or it goes into other fields that
offer a better promise Of profit in
the United States. American
capital will not invest in power
projects as long as it lies in the
power of a single government Of
fetal with the stroke of a pen to
literally confiscate the entire
of a power company
without compensation, nor will it
invest millions in a project for a
limited period of so years, when
there is no assurance that during
that period it can recover even
the amount of it's investment, to
say nothing of a profit"

Covering Strawberries

In the colder localities of the
North it is advisable to cover
strawberry plants to preserve
their foliage as much as possible.
The better the condition of the
foliage at the opening of spring
the more rapidly will the plants
develop.
The covering should not be
done till the cold has set in per-
manently and the ground has be-
come frozen. If, while the
ground is warm, or even un-
frozen, a covering is put on, rot
ting of the foliage is likely to re-
suit.
The idea of covering is not to
protect from the cold but to pre-
vent the thawing out of the
plants on warm days. 1t is the
repeated thawing and freezing
of the plants that destroy the
foliage and the stems and roots.
A coarse material like marsh
hay or corn stover is better for
covering than straw; the straw
packs so closely that all air is ex-
cluded, and if there is delay in
removing the covering in the
spring rotting is likely to result.
The coarser material allows the
air to get in, and, on the sunny
days in early spring, less danger
to the plants exists.
Covering should be removed
early in the spring after danger
from severe freezing has passed.

SOLICITING FUNDS
FOR A HIGHWAY

P. e. Bernard, secretary of the
Kalispell chamber of commerce,
Commissioner Good and County
Clerk Perry of the same city,
were Roman visitors last Thurs
day evening and Friday morning.
They were here to solicit some
financial assistance in the build
ing of the road along the east
side of the Flathead lake, which
road is expected to become one
of the main lines along the Park
to Park highway building in
Montana. They met a number
of citizens of Roman Friday
morning and went over the
details at some length, explaining
their reason for being compelled
to secure outside assistance.
This road was undertaken in
the first instance at the urgent
request of people living along the
east shore of the lake who had
no way of getting the product of
their farms and orchards to mar
ket. The settlers came forward
with an offer of $1,000, or what
was supposed to be one-half the
completed highway. The board
of county commissioners of Flat
head county appropriated an
equal amount and work was
started. Afterwards the scope
Of the road was enlarged and an
effort is now being made to con-
struct a highway in such man
ner as to meet the requirements
of the specifications of the COM
mission having the trans CONT
mental highway under construc-
ton. The cost, in consequence
of the changes having been
made, is costing much more than
was first estimated, and the law
provides that not more than
$4,000 shall be appropriated out
of the general funds of the
county for any one road.
Last year to lessen the cost,
convict labor was secured and
much road building resulted, but
the money gave out and the con-
victs were taken off. The last
legislature appropriated $4,000
to assist in building this highway,
in that this money was to be used
in paying the cost of keeping the
convicts in addition to what the
usual cost, SOC per day, amounted

GATHERING EXHIBIT
FOR PANAMA FAIR

Hon. Frank A. Hazelbaker of
Dillon is busily engaged in col
lecting samples of Montana's best
farm produce for exhibition at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition in
San Francisco in 1915. Mr.. Hazel
baker is a member of the Monta-
ma commission and it's executive
officer. He has had large exper-
ience in preparing and installing
agricultural exhibits at state and
county fairs and big land shows
in large eastern cities and he is a
particularly competent man for
the work he is now carrying on.
During the fall Mr.. Hazlebaker
visited most of the county fairs
in Montana and arranged for the
best Of the durable sheaf stuff,
grains and grasses to be selected
from this years exhibits. He
has been meeting with splendid
success and already he has assem-
bled and stored in a suitable
place in Helena a very attractive
collection of exhibits.
In speaking of this work few
days ago, Mr.. Hazelbaker said:
Il have been greatly gratifed and
encouraged by the splendid spirit
of cooperation and encourage
ment which | have encountered
in every county which l have Wis
tied. Everywhere | go the peo-
pie express the hope that Monta-
ma will be properly and creditably
represented at the San Francisco
fair. And it will be. We are 60
ing to make a great showing l am
sure, of Montana's display. |
have just received a shipment Of
choice grain that was raised in
the Gallatin valley, and also
have some extra choice sheaf
stuff from Cascade, Park, Fergus,
jefferson and a number Of other
counties in the state. | also have
some choice threshed grain from
Yellowstone county.
1T is the intention of the COM
mission to have an exhibit Of the
products of every county in the
state. The respective counties
will not have an individual exhib-
it, but each individual product
will be marked in a conspicuous
manner with the name and ad-
dress of the grower and the coun-
ty in which it was produced, so
that people coming from the diff
ferent sections of the country will
be able to see just what is pro-
duced in every county of the
state"

GOING To THE
DEEP SEA FOR
STRANGE FISH
Coast Survey Steamer Bache
Will Garry Party Of
Experts.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 15.-Within the
service steamer Bache will leave the
Chesapeake on an expedition to gath
er specimens of fish and other sea life
in the Atlantic Ocean.
The work she will do VIII be along
the same lines as that performed for
science by the Prince OF Monaco
Aboard her, in addition to the Off
GERS of the ship, will be two experts
from the Bureau OF Fisheries, who
will classify and preserve the fish and
ether objects taken from the deep
waters.
To Correct Charts.
While the cruise will be primarily
for the benefit of the Bureau of Fish
cries and will be under its direction,
in a large measure, the information
that will be gathered as to the ocean
bottom and depths Of water Will be
used in correcting existing charts
The Bache upon leaving the Chesa-
peake will head for the Bermudas
and from Cape Henry TO the islands
dredees Will be pulled over the ocean
bottom. From the Bermudas the ship
will lay her course for the Florida
coast and specimens OF ocean life will
also be obtained on this leg OF the
cruise.
For Nationsi Museum.
Considerable dredging will be done
in the vicinity of the Bermudas and
T. is expected that specimens Of ma
rine life will be brought up from the
lower depths of the ocean that are
now unknown to science The specl-
mems obtained will be preserved with
. 10 Nd 10
will finally be put on exhibition In
the National Museum.
This expedition to gather fish and
sea life Is something rather new for
the coast and geodetic survey ser
vice, which has heretofore confined
its operations to gathering informa
ton regarding shoals and currents
for the benefit of mariners, but drag
ging the ocean bottom Is nothins
new to the officers. and they vii
doubtless be able to do It well.
