1t is a matter of extreme re-
gret. says the bulletin, that Mon
tana annually ships many train
loads Of cattle, sheep and swine
to the eastern markets, while
large quantities Of fresh meats
are returned to to the state to
supply the local consumption.
Com mis- sioner SWindlehVnst
believes that with proper financial
support the. 81 npbtering, packing
and shipping of meat should and
will in the near future become an
important industry in the state.
The bulletin goes on to state
that there are now SO crean1eries
in the state, and 20 Of them are
idle at the present time. This
condition is said to be due to the
fact that this important industry
is apparently passing through the
experimental stage in Montana,
which has marked the early cs-
tablishment Of creamerics in
every other state.
While the poultry industry is
young here, attention is called to
the marked contrast between the
figures compiled by his depart
ment and the calculations recent
ly published by the bureau of la
Dor statistics of the state Of Mis-
souri, for the year 1912. These
figures estimate that poultry and
eggs to the value Of %48, ,G73, 24O
were sold by the farmers OF Mis-
souri, for that year. These record
breaking figures would apparent
ly mean that Missouri is still the
poultry queen OF the Union r.
the title bestowed four years ago
when that state took first rank
for this industry over all other
states.
The advanced cost Of meat, says
the bulletin, has created an in
creased demand for eggs and
poultry and dairy products in the
state, and with such a favorable
market as Montana affords in
every city and Village, it is CON
fidently expected that both the
dairy and poultry industries will
soon assume that Importance
which the prospects and condi-
tions of the state would seem to
warrant.

MONTANA IMPORTS
REACH MILLIONS

A bulletin issued by w. J.
SWindlehurst, commissioner of
the department of labor and in
dustry, contains many important
statistics and some very interest
ing information relative to the
years importations into Montana
OF dairy, poultry and meat pro-
ducts.
After a thorough and conserv-
ative investigation of the state,
the department places the meat
importation, including hams, ba-
con and lard and mutton, irres-
pective of live and dressed poul-
try, at 10000, 1000 pounds. The
average wholesale price Of these
products is approximately q
cents per pound, which would
give a value Of So, $40, 600 for
meat importations alone.
Another surprising condition is
the importation of live and dress
ed poultry. This estimate is given
at 81, 500, 600, while $50, 600 cases
of eggs, at 80 dozen each, were
shipped into the state during the
past IL months. At 80 cents per
dozen the egg importation would
amount to 81, $50, 600. The poul-
try products would, therefore, TO-
tai So, $50, 600.
The creamery business is an
other industry showing a lack of
growth, improvement and devel-
opment. With so creameries in
the state, Montana annually i'm
ports 8, 500, 900 pounds of butter,
and 1900, 900 pounds of cheese.
The wholesale price of butter has
averaged 81 cents the past year,
and cheese, of which practically
none is made in the state, has
sold at 20 cents per pound.
Based on these prices and add
ing thereto 300 cars, of 10000
pounds capacity each, of condens-
ed milk and cream at So, 100 per
car, which is annually sent in
from abroad, and you have ST.
Cos, 600 annually sent out of the
state for dairy products which
should be produced and manufac-
tured at home.
The total importations Of the
above products in the state would,
therefore, be as follows:
MEAT PRODUCTS
Beef, mutton, pork, including
hams, bacon and lard 81, $40, 900
POULTRY PRODUCTS

TELEPHONE INVESTIGATION
REVEALS STARTLING FACTS

The taking of testimony at
Spokane in the government tele-
phone case is bringing out some
startling facts. The testimony
of one of the Independent Of
ficials, Davies, shows that the
Bell or Mountain States company
as it is now known, has been a
large purchaser of Independent
company stock and virtually
holds a control in both companies.
1t seems that the only reason
why this was so secret was to
prevent the public from knowing
there was no competition where
it apparently existed. Such a
condition certainly needed inves-
tigaton, and the attempt of the
government to dissolve the trust
will be watched with interest.
Telephone charges at prevail
ing rates was not sufficient to
satisfy the greed of the old Bell
company so it was decided to or
ganiZe another or competing
company and enter the field al
ready overcharged for such SER
vice. Two telephone companies
in the same towns or cities has
always meant a double tax on all
business men and this method
took from them just double what
it would have with only one COM
pany. Fortunately some of the
cities in Montana got wise to
this hold up and have voted to
patronize only one company in
the future. This action has
brought about a consolidation in
one sense, as arrangements have
been made to connect the two
centrals and give a dual service
at the cost of one heretofore.
This fact should be conclusive
evidence that there never has
been any serious competition be-
tween the companies, and the
farce should no longer be tol-
Grated.
Roman had this doub BILE service
until after the fire and since that
time it has been handicapped by
reason of the two companies re-
fusing to establish central con-
nections, imposing a burden on
all long distance users by forcing
the local telephone patrons to
travel to a booth in order to talk
over the long distance. 1t seems
that this should no longer be
forced upon US, now that it is so
we'll known that both companies
are practically one and the same.

Public Land Surveyed.

Estimates made by u. s. Sur
veyor General Locke show that
approximately 1000, 900 acres of
public land will have been sur
veyed in Montana at the end of
the present year, during the past
IL months. This is not as much
as was surveyed last year because
much of the work this year has
been done in the mountainous
sections. Nineteen parties were
in the field this season.

Montana Town Goes Dry.

The newly Incorporated town
of Mellstone, a division point on
the Milwaukee in Musselshell
county, held it's first election last
Saturday and the contest was
hot one between the saloon and
anti-saloon elements, the latter
winning. Wanderers from the
reservation may or may not visit
that Eastern Montana metropolis
according to their fancy.

Bagged a 200 Pound Buck

Jack Curtis and Ernest Rouil-

east of Roman last week and
bagged 200 pound buck. That
sounds much easier than trailing
around looking for game several
days and then be compelled to
travel many miles in reaching
home, and the game all eaten be-
fore arrival.

Some interesting facts are
shown. Barley irrigated yielded
as high as 60 bushels per acre,
virtually doubling the ordinary
yield; corn gave 62 bushels per
acre, something it was not sup
posed could be matured at all,
and corn fodder returned an
average of s tons per acre and
as high as Is tons; oats a max
imum yield of rs bushels, and
wheat 40 bushels.
1t lis conceded that this year
was the hardest in years to sue
cessfully irrigate and with a
normal year the results would
have been much better. AS it
was, the irrigated land gave re-
turns far in excess of the aver
age yield where no water was
used and it should be encourag-
ing to the farmers who in future
years will use the water more
extensively than in the past.

ON ROAD TRIP
PLAY IN MERIDIAN THIS AFTER
NOON AND PLAYS WILL BE
CALLED AT THE MATINEE OPP
PosITE D'LEMBERTE'S.

The Snappers left last night on a
road trip which will keep them from
home until May 29th, and the local
fans will be without baseball until
Friday, May 30th, when the boys will
appear at Naxent park for long stay.
Meridian will be the first club tack
led. The Snappers play there this
afternoon and the game will be called
at the matinee opposite D'Alemberte's
Drug Store. Play may start at $50,
but the exact hour is not yet known.
Manager Hamilton was optimistic
last night, despite the fact that the
Snappers will have to do battle with
ClarksdaIe and Jackson on their home
grounds during the road trip, and viii
play an improved club at Meridian.
From the way Clarksdale has been
going of late that rejuvenated outfit is
among the strongest in the league, but
if they beat the Snappers il will be
case of having to shut out the locals.

the action that caused Hall to declare
a forfeit. The game was going well,
and the spectators did not take kindly
to seeing it end SO unttmely and alb

After the game Manager Henry de-
clared his team would not play another
game where Hall was sent in to handle

president of the Clarksdale associat ton

effect it will have is not known. Presi-
dent Redus, of the Cotton States league

side Of the controversy.
The decision that caused all the
tIOuDIe was a question Oh TACT, and mad
nothing to do with rules or judgement.
Hall insists that Right Fielder Han

First Baseman Moore, was also after
the ball, a Texas Lacquer. The ball
was seen to bounce from Hanson'S s.
hands, the umpire claims to the ground
the players claim into Moore's glove.
Hall seemed certain he saw the ball
hit the ground and says Moore quick
Iy scoOped it up. Moore claims he

sion of the encounter between David
and Goliath as follows
Saul and all of his sons except Da-
vid went off to war; they left David Ii
home because he was only a kid. After
a while David's ma got worried. She
wondered what had become of his
brothers, because they hadn't tele-
phoned to her or sent word. So she
said to David: Dave you go right
down there and see whether they are
all right"
So David pixies off to where the war
is, and the first morning he was there
out comes this big Goliath, big strap
ping fellow about eleven feet TALL who
commenced to shoot off his mouth as
what he was going 70 do.
Who's that big stiff putting up-that
