RAILROAD LAWYERS FIND
WAY TO CUT OUT PASSES

HELENA, MONTANA. June 26.-
There is more than possibility that
the railroads, which have issued pass.
es to state officials. employees and
members of the legislature In Mon
tana, may cancel them. The lawyers
connected with the railroads have
been considering the matter and have
referred it to the interstate commerce
commission. In Colorado similar
practice was followed by the railroads
and the commission refused to allow
the railroads to advance rates on the
ground that by the issuance of passes
they had deprived themselves of reve'
nue., which would, if continued, have
gone far toward yielding the profit the
roads said they must make.

Inauguration of The Fad's big annual

season to the other. and In order to
make this rule effective prices are
cut to such an extent during these
sales that the store Is practically emp
tied in short period Of time. In this
respect Mr.. Radigan conducts his store
on the same plan followed by stores
in the big cities. The store Is closed

Butter Now Shipped In


Roundup and Tributary Camps Now
Consume Annually 10000 Pounds
Of Butter Valued at $4o,ooo-Practi.
caily All Of Which is Creamery But.
ter Shipped in from the Outside
Development Of Dairy Industry
Would Reverse Present Conditions.
With the view of establishing a
creamery in Roundup, A. D. Wilson,
formerly of this place but late OF
Waukesha, Wis.,, has been engaged
the past ftw days in enlisting the sup
port of local business men and farm
ers of the vicinity. The establishment
of a creamery here has never received
serious attention but there is no doubt
that the enterprise will receive all the
support necessary to make 1t sue
cess at this time If assurance is given
that it will be conducted properly ana
for the best interests of all concerned.
Mr.. Wilson has given it out that he
will furnish half of the capital provid-
ed the other half is furnished by the
business men of Roundup. 1t has been
estimated that about 100000 pounds
of butter valued at $4,000 are ship
ped into Roundup annually. In addi-
ton to this there is some local ranch
butter marketed. This state OF at
| fairs is all wrong. Musselshell county
should annually send out thousands
of pounds of creamery butter instead
Of importing it, and there is no ap'
parent reason why this condition
4 should not be reversed.
In order to make the creamery &c
4 it will be necessary to have at least
u 300 good dairy cows within radius
Of Is miles Of Roundup. This Will
d probably be the only obstacle to be
u overcome. Good dairy COWS sell fol
! from SIS to $125 per head. Mr.. VIII
son hopes to be able to place certain
number of COWS with each farmer OF
credit giving him an opportunity t.
pay for them out of the earnings o
the herd.
Mr.. Wilson expects to lay his pre-
position before the Roundup CONNER

Mems Association in the near future
