FiCES AT HANOVER.
BUILDINGS COMPLETE JANUARY

The Three Forks Portland Cement
company Monday let a contract for
the erection OF an office building, a
hotel and two apartment houses which
will aggregate $4,000, at their town
OF Hanover. Rude Il Searles OF Great
Falls were the successful contractors
and have already telephoned for car
penters and laborers who will be on
the ground by this evening and i'm
mediately commence the construction
OF bunk houses for their own use and
for the use of the employees of the
cement company during the construc-
tion OF their plant. The contract spec
iftes that all the buildings under this
contract be completed by January l.
At the time the contract for the
buildings was let, B. p. Melchert, the
local grading contractor, was given
contract for the removal of 10000
cubic yards OF dirt from the plant
site.
The letting of these contracts marks
the beginning of construction at the
Hanover plant and it is presumed
work will now progress in an orderly
manner until the big cement plant is
completed. The company's plaster
works at Hanover is now running full

ahead with the forceful arguments con,
tanned in his address.
The senator referred to the federal
reserve act, the federal trades com
mission, the Clayton antitrust act,
and laid particular stress upon the
federal farm loan act This piece OF
legislation the senator drew attention
to as the first piece Of legislation de-
signed exclusively for the farmers, and
that it was distinctive in that respect.
Legislation had been shaped and
passed for the manufacturer, for the
bankers and monied interests. for the
railroads and for organized labor, but
this act the federal farm loan act, had
been designed for the express purpose
OF relieving the farmers who repre-
sented the bone and sinew of our econ
omic. fiber from the excessive rates
of interest which they are compelled
to pay under the present system I'm
der the new act a farmer may bor-
row so per cent of the value of his
land and 20 per cent of the improve
ments thereon. and at rate not to
exceed per cent. The farm loan
banks are to be operated at cost, and
the senator provoked laughter from
the audience when he said that loans
could be made to extend over a per
iod of forty years with mortization
payments and that if any Judith basin
farmer could not repay his loan in
that time he should quit trying to
work the soil and get into politics
where he could work the people. At.
tention was drawn to the fact that
although European nations have had
rural credit systems for many years
the republican party in their sixteen
years of power failed to make any
move that would place the farmers
OF this nation on a credit footing with
the farmers there

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 3.-The con.
tinued rise in the price OF flour brought
about an unprecedented condition in
the local market today. While sew

Officers Of large milling company
declared this condition had been
brought about by the continued rise
in wheat prices and the subsequen,
