ADVICE ON ROAD MAKING.

Don't drive in the ruts- Don't
drive in the tracks. Use the whole
surface of the road"
Among other things which the
state Highway Commission suggests
for workers to do on June Is, which
Governor Stewart has designated as
Good Roads Day" is to place signs
along roads which will ask people to
use the whole surface of the road
and not drive along the other fell
lows tracks until deep rut is worn
Circulars have been received by
the commercial clubs, county COM
missioners and others interested
The circulars suggest that meetings
be called in various parts of each
county, and that commissioners
should cooperate IN every way pos
sible to make the work on the day
a success by arranging in exact de-
tail the work to be done in the vari-
GUS sections throughout their coun-
ties.
Work which may be done on
Good Roads Day. includes the fol-
lowing: Grading, cutting down hills,
filling low places, grading up and
widening bridge and culvert ap-
proaches as we'll as at railroad cross
ings. Chuck holes should be the
special work of the volunteer work.
ers and they can all be filled up if
the work is we'll directed.
While the exact nature of the
work done in different parts of the
state will depend on the weather,
but here are a few things which the
Highway Committee says not to do:
Don't start more than you can fin
ish; don't haul stone or gravel onto
road which is not properly graded
don't scrape sod onto travelled road
ways and leave it for traffic to smoth
out. Don't fail to come out and
work on June Is.

GOOD ROADS DAY
TUESDAY, JUNE 18TH.

In a proclamation issued from the
executive Office in Helena, Governor
Stewart calls upon Montana citizens
to observe Tuesday, June Is, as Good
Roads day.
Better highways" says the proc
lamation, lis slogan that should
commend itself to the people of
Montana. Good roads contribute
incalcuably to the permanent peace
and prosperity of state and commu-
nifty. They bring the farmer nearer
to his selling place and put neigh
Dor in closer touch with neighbor.
1ll-kept roads yield only wear and
tear of temper, depletion of the
purse and diminution of profit on
product.
"Our state is alive to the import
ance of the question of improved
highways. Much has already been
done in this respect, but there is
much left to be done if we are to at
tain the degree OF excellence that is
so desirable.
"1n the hope of giving fresh i'm
petus to the movement for improved
roads, the Fourteenth legislative as
sembly passed senate bill No. 81, es-
tablishing good roads day" as a
yearly incident in the life of the
state.
"And do earnestly urge upon the
people of the state that they join
in making this occasion all that it's
name contemplates. Let them con-
tribute of their labor, or material or
of money, and take such active part
in the observance as will tend to
make the day memorable one in
Montana, thereby adding greatly to
the comfort of the traveller and to
their own satisfaction eovr a we'll
done deed"

GREAT NORTHERN HAULS
MANY CARS OF PRODUCE

According to a report recently
filed with the state railroad commits
sion exactly 4,237 cars of produce,
including miscellaneous shipments
were sent over the lines of the Great
Northern railroad during last month
No estimate of the value of this pro-
duce is kept by the state railroad
commission, but the fact that much
of it is ore and grain, the latter be-
ing as good as money now, indicates
that the worth will mount up in the
millions. The Great Northern
hauled over its lines a total of 865
cars of coal; 488 cars of livestock;
4O4 of lumber; 500 of lime rock;
2S2 of grain; 211 of ore; 148 Of
hay; 2O4 of concentrates; 161 Of
flour and mill stuffs; 113 of poles
and posts, the remainder of 4,237
cars being made up of miscellaneous
shipments.

to drag the car out it was nearly out

being visible. After considerable

promises to make of that thriving

Pete Snelson, secretary of the Mon

RAILROADS GRANT ONE
FARE RATE TO STATE FAIR

The Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern railroads have an
nounced one fare for the round
| trip rate, from all points in Montana
to the Montana State fair, September
1925. The Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul, Oregon Short Line and the
e. A. & P, the other railroads in
Montana which do not enter Helena,
operate with the two roads having
the terminal facilities in Helena and
will also make the one fare for the
round trip applicable over their
lines.
The fact that this low rate will
again be in effect from all Montana
points during the state fair, insures
greater out of state attendance at
the big exposition than ever before,
for several reasons. The present po-
pulation of the state is estimated at
nearly 100000. OF these, thousands
are persons who have resided in the
state for only few years and many
are expecting to visit the state fair
this year for the first time.
The magnificent distances which
many residents of Montana have to
travel to reach the fair, makes the
one fare rate particularly desirable
Montana is the only state in the I'M
ion in which concession of this
kind is made by the railroads for the
fair, and to it has always been large
ly due the big attendance at the
Montana exposition.
With every indication of bumper
crop and prosperous times in every
section of the state, it should be TAX

err extent than ever before.

soon after the alarm was sounded
on Sunday night, it appears, and
while the firemen were suppressing
the blaze in the basement of the

marched out. They were then ques-

the result that two of the young In

Further questioning forced admis-

the flames destroy the school build

In their confession they ex-

school and tired of educational rou-

caused destruction of the school

and controlled by American capital,

Ichinery."
This is but another instance of the
Democrats placing the blame on a
condition of affairs which they created.
BY placing farm implements on the
free list they encouraged American
capital to go abroad. erect mills and
employ foreign labor. after having
the number of hands employed here.

said that the International needed no
protective duties, but he hoped the
committee would give protection to
the numerous small comapnies in this
country The Republicans gave the
small men protective duty of fifteen
per cent, which enabled them to run.
Then came Mr.. Underwood, with
his bunk for farm consumption. Free
trade in farming implements would
give the farmer cheaper plough.
Witness the result mentioned. Now
the farmer! will get his plough at the
same old price, or little higher. but
the number OF men who consumed his
farm products will be reduced or their
purchasing power decreased, and the
small farm implements men will ulti-
blame the big men for going where
they can manufacture cheapest when
they have free American market.
Blame the Democratic law. It Is an
unusual Democratic tariff law which
does not work both ways to our dis
