Montana Grain Rates.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-The inter.
state commerce commission today of.
ficially recognized depressed market
conditions" in deciding a case involv-
ing grain rates from Montana to east
ern destinations, begun by the rail
road commission Of that state against
various northwestern roads.
The commission held that "the rea'
sonableness or unreasonablness OF
freight rates cannot be guaged solely
by the ability or inability of shippers
under depressed market conditions to
market their products with profit un.
der existing rates."
1t was further held that the rates
assailed were not unreasonable.
Violations of the long and short
haul provisions of the law found to ex
list on the Great Northern railway be
tween Grea; Falls and Billings. Mont.
were ordered corrected.

Billings, Oct. 22.-In what is believ-
ed to be an effort on the part OF the
Billings Sugar company to forestall a
demand from growers for higher pric-
es for their beets in 1915, Japanese
agents of the company are securing
leases on many hundreds of acres in
the Yellowstone and Clark Fork val
legs. AS high as $40 per acre with
privilege accorded the owner OF re-
tanning beet tops is offered. and in n
instance an advance cash payment OF
81 900 for the lease of $50 acres was
refused. The Japanese are particular
ly active in the vicinity of Fromberg.
Bridger, Silesia ami Joliet. Officials
OF the Beet Growers association have
warned members not to sign leases
without the provision that they and
not the leaser shall contract the 1919
crop with the company.

SCHOOLS MAKE GOOD SHOWING

1t is noticed that President Craig
head of Missoula university and other
consolidationists frequently complain
that the number of enrolled students
at the various educational institutions
Of this state is not as large as it might
be, and is much smaller thar that ut
like schools, that have been establish
cd anywhere from so years to mora
than a century.
1t would seem that the remarkable
thing is that the attendance at the va,
rious colleges in Montana is as large
as it is, considering the short time
, that they have been established, SAYS
the Butte Miner. 1t always has been
this newspapers view that these in
