STILL HOLDING GRAIN.

We understand that a number of
the farmers in this section are still
holding their grain for an expected
men report that only about fifteen
per cent of the 1915 crop has been
marketed as yet, or at rough esti-
mate about $4,000 bushels. Flax
yesterday was up to SLIT per BUSH
ell, which is about as good as anyone
could expect and with the price of
wheat lowering around the eighty
cent figure all fall, it seems like
more grain would be sold at the cur
rent prices. The theory of dollar
wheat this fall is almost out of the
question now, with war conditions
in Europe as they are, and those
who are holding out for the big fig
ure may be caused considerable
grief before the winter is over.
Frank Wild, deputy collector of
customs, who was in Malta this
week, states that the Canadians are
more than anxious to market their
grain here and pay the additional
duty of ten cents per bushel on
wheat and twenty cents per bushel
on flax, as even that is better than
they are getting in Canada.
With the roads at this time in the
best possible condition and the mar.
ket prices what they are now it
seems likely that during the next
few weeks grain will pour into the
elevators here faster than was ever
known before in the history o.
grain growing in the Milk river val

doubt, been handicapped by late
threshing, but now most of the rigs
have been tied up for the winter

TRADE COMMISSION
AND BEET SUGAR.

In letter to Ex-Governor Cox of
Ohio, some time ago, President Will
son stated it as his belief that the
authority lodged in the federal trade
commission enabled it at any time
to take up the investigation of the
cost of production at home and
abroad, and to collect other data
bearing on the question of tariff
rates. In other words, it was his
opinion that the functions of tar
iff commission might properly be
exercised by the federal trade COM
mission and that the creation of
tariff commission was unnecessary.
The federal trade commission was
appointed by the president, by and
with the consent of the senate. 1t
consists of five members-three
Democrats, one Progressive, and one
political free-lance. Joseph Davies
is chairman. Whether or ont this
commission has the power to exer-
else the functions of tariff COM
mission is moot point, but regard
less of that, on the request of the
secretary of commerce, certain in
vestigations pertinent to tariff mat
tiers have been undertaken, notably
the one on the cost of production
of beet sugar. In it's role of tariff
commission, what is the result Of
this investigation on the uart of
the commission?
The beet sugar investigation was
started in the spring of this year.
The public was promised a report by
the first of July last. Various state
ments had been made in congress,
and out, relative to the production
cost of beet sugar, ranging from
$183 according to the assertion of
Democrat senator from Colorado)
to $3.47 per hundred pounds. 'Ex-
perts, under civil service rules, were
assigned to the work. Their inves-
legations were carefully followed up
by men interested in the sugar n
dustry, who were satisfied that the
| figures presented to the investiga-
tors gave a correct statement of the
case. if correctly understood.
This report was placed before the
commission about the first of July.
From that time to the present, every
effort of those interested in the
sugar industry to get this report, or
any of the figures it contains. has
been unavailing.
If the report is not printed and
made public there is every reason
to believe it is because it shows how
unwarranted was the action oft he

CONSTRUCTION WORK
MILK RIVER PROJECT,

The Milk River Project of the
United State Reclamation Service in
this valley is now one-half complet-

from the Reclamation Record shows
what has been done on this project

the past months of September and

for the former and six bids for the
latter, the lowest on the different
schedules of which were below the

"A FOOL THERE WAS"

Malta citizens had the pleasure of
seeing one of the best motion pic
lures ever produced at the Bison
theatre Sunday afternoon and even
ing. 1t was the William Fox version
of "a Fool There Was" featuring
the great emotional actress, Miss
Therda Bara. The acting all through
thu picture was excellent and es-
pecially that of the leading man and
the little girl. Miss Bara is an &C.
tress of exceptional ability and
while in the picture Sunday she ap-
peared in the part of veritable de-
mon she was nevertheless great in
her work.
A large crowd was present at the
matinee and in the evening the
house was packed. We understand
several more of the Fox features
are booked for an early appearance
at the Bison. Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn
are to be congratulated for bringing
these high class attractions to our
city.

MALTA SCHOOL NOTES.

AS there seems to be misunder-
standing on the part of some re-
garding the terms of admission to
the Malta school from outside dis
tricts, word of explanation may be
timely The school trustees have
not ruled that tuition must be paid
either by the individual or by the
district from which he may come.
While they may deem it advisable
to collect tuition fee at some time
in the future, the trustees do not
demand such a fee now. There are
several enrolled from outlying dis
tricts, both in the grades and in
the high school. To these pupils the
same recognition is given as to
those within the district. They are
supplied with books. necessary writ
ing papers and instruction, and they
receive the same credit that our
own boys and girls receive. We are
glad to welcome these pupils to our
school. The only compensation
asked is the state apportionment
which the other district may receive
for children attending school in
Malta This pays for a very small
part of the instruction given. High
schools are expensive. They cost
fran SIS to $3.50 per pupil in Mon
tana, and our high school is neces-
sarilly above the minimum in ex-
pense. Despite this fact the people
of Malta gladly extend the use OF
their school plant to their friends in
the surrounding communities, ask
ing only in return their friendly CO.

ton. This We have received in the
