 "The St. Paul contract runs for 99 years. The company now is paying be- tween 125$ and 1908 per horsepower for coal-generated power and we shall furnish it at rate of 35$ per horse power. When we finish our plant we shall have to charge up 125$ as the cost of each horsepower, this cost being the amount of bonds and preferred stock issued. Of every IS taken in by the company, 70 cents will be left for divi- dend and interest payments. The rail roads are lucky to save 20 cents on each dollar and the industrial company from 10 to 15 cents. The company now con- trols S5 per cent of the lighting business and 95 per cent of the hydro-electric business in the state of Montana. Through our operations we will pre- vent being taken from the ground l. GOO, 900 tons of coal per year.
 "The zinc industry is growing rapidly in Butte, and these companies now ship their product to Oklahoma for treat ment, because the costs for treating ores there are low, due to the fact that natural gas is so easily available.

This should add greatly to the revenues of the company"

Great Power Project.
John D. Ryan Tells of the Aims and Purpos of the
 Great Power System.

President John D. Ryan of the Mon tana Power Co. in a recent address be- fore the banking men of Boston at the Exchange club, gave an interesting re- view of the Montana power situation. During the course of his talk, MT. Ryan said:
 1.-The Montana Power Co. now has 147O miles of high-transmission lines eX- tending over the state of Montana. By far the greatest part of this wire system is in the eastern part of the state, where are located the big min ing sections, among them Butte, Ana conda and the smelling plants at Great Falls. On the other side of the state we have developed plant at Thompson Falls, from which end we expect to take care of the identification of the 43O miles of the St. Paul railway for which we have contracted. When this is completed we shall then hitch up all our lines Tn the state, and through such arrangement will have l3 different plants generating power and making it impossible to cause a breakdown in our system of operation, no matter in what part of the state we operate. With one part of the system out of order we can switch in on another.
 "The St. Paul identification is now about half completed. The company is under contract to take given amount of power each year, and pays for 60 per cent of this amount of power as minimum whether used or not. We have now developed 25O,O00 hp., and plan an ultimate capacity of $50, OOOhp. The territory now served would cover the entire New England states, yet to do no business outside of the state of Montana. We sell at the state line for power delivered in other states, but do not operate these outside lines ourselves. We have developed tre- mendous storage capacity, and even if a dry spell should last for months, through our system of damned up reservoirs and storage lakes we could generate l15, ,OOO-hp. for 100 successive days without using bit of the water now available in ordinary rivers, streams and channels. .,
 ''In our system we use water over and over again, making it serve seven different uses before it finally enterE the Missouri river.
 "We are working on co-operatHe basis with many of the companies, to/ ns and communities we serve. The Ana conda Co.,, for example, makes a con tract with us whereby we are to supply power for the life of the mine for 30$ on the average per horsepower. Prev iously the company paid the Missouri River Power Co. an average of 63S per horsepower for electricity and 85$ addi- tional average for the steam power used Now it gets all this for sos per horsepower, a sav- ing to the Anaconda of POGO, O00S per year in power cost alone. Our com pensation comes in that we have this contract for the entire life of the mine, which l anticipate none of us here will live to see terminated
 "Anaconda is now using about 40, coo hp. per year. It has plant that can

Taking Care of the Children.

No parent would consciously be care less of the children. Joe A. Rozmarin, Clarkson, Nebr., uses Foley's Honey and Tar for his two children for croup, coughs and colds. He says, We are never without Foley's Honey and Tar in the house." A distressing cough, sleepless nights, and raw, infamed throat lead to a rundown condition in which the child is not able to resist contagious or infectious diseases. Foley's Honey and Tar is truly healing and prompt in action. It relieves coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough. H. H. Watkins.

IS SURPLUS Of
POTATOES NOW
MARKET IS. OVERLOADED JUST
NOW AND FARMERS CANNOT
SHIP TO ADVANTAGE.
CONDITION SEEMS TO Be GENERAL

1t seems that a rather unusual con.
dition exists in the potato market at
Lewistown and points OH lines adj
jacent this year. Neil Bannon, traf-
fic manager of the Chamber of Com
20 or 30 carloads of potatoes in the
Lewistown territory right now and the
ranchers are unable to dispose of them
at profit on account OF market con
ditions.
Several ranchers have taken up
with the traffic department the ques
iion of getting a rate from this ter
ritory to Butte or Helena, that would
enable them to dispose of the sur
plus on hand at a profit. After going
into the question thoroughly it was
round that under the existing market
conditions there was no reduction in
freight rates that would enable the
producer to get out even. 1t is scarce
ly reasonable to ask the Transports
tion companies to shrink their earn
ings to such an extent as to offset an
unfortunate condition as the potato
market seems to be overloaded not
only in Montana but in all large east.
ern markets as well. The conditions
are to be regretted, as they will have
tendency to cause the former to de-
crease his acreage, which is not at
all desirable
Butte is offering today 80 cents per
hundredweight, sacked: Chicago. 35
cents per bushel; Kansas City, 81 to
40 cents per bushel. The freight
rates to these points are as follows:
Butte, II cents per cwt.: Chicago, 81
cents per cwt.; Kansas City. 40 cents
per cwt. Figuring the cost of hand
ling. sacking, loading and transporta
tiOn. at the present market, the pro-
ducer will balance his ledger in red
ink.
In conversation with the local mer-
chants, it is found that the average
farmer of Fergus county is not given
to sorting his potatoes when he has
them ready for delivery. and there.
fore his product is not worth as much
as the article shipped in by potato
growers who make a business of de-
livering a high grade. 1t is desirable
that the farmers of this county get
together in their respective neighbor.
hoods and arrange for the planting OF
staple seeds of like variety. and
have the matured product sorted SO
as to compete with the outside ship
per. 1t is the intention of the Cham.
ber Of Commerce to look out for the
market of Fergus county products that
will stand for inspection among big
growers and consumers of surround
ing towns and states in a competa
tive manner.
