FAVORABLE REPORT ON
THE GRAIN GRADES BILL.

A long step toward federal grain
inspection is taken in the bill for
uniform grading of grain, etc." COM
monty known as the "grain Standard
zation BILL" which has been reported
from the house committee on agri-
culture, and which has been urged by
Representative Hegensen and other
members of the North Dakota dele
cation.
"This is a bill to fix and establish
uniform grades in grain and to en-
courage trade in grain under these
uniform Standards" says the report
presented by Representative Rubey.
"For a number of years the depart
ment Of agriculture has, by direction
of congress, been making extensive
investigation Of the handling, grading
and transportation of grain and the
fixing Of definite grades thereof. In
1914 the grades of corn were estab-
lished and are now being very gradu-
ally used. The work of determining
the grades for wheat is nearing COM
pletion, and the grades for other
grains will be fixed and promulgated
from time to time.
"The passage of this act will au-
thorize the secretary of agriculture
not only to fix, establish and promul-
gate these grades, but will compel
their use wherever grain is shipped
in interstate or foreign commerce
and sold by grade"
The following is brief summary
of the provisions of the bill by sec
tions:
Section 1 provides that the short
title of the bill shall be "United States
grain grades act"
Section 2 authorizes the secretary
Of agriculture to investigate the
grading, handling and transportation
of grain, to fix and establish uniform
standards of quality and condition,
and to promulgate the same, and fix
the date when such standards are to
become effective. 1t also gives the
secretary of agriculture power to al
ter or modify such standards when
necessities Of trade may require, and
to promulgate the same.
Section 8 provides that these stand
ards shall be known as the official
standards of the United States.

A series of slides, ranging in length
from a few feet to several hundred,
completely blocked the Great North
ern tracks from Essex to the Sum-
nit last week and all westbound traf-
fic was held at Cutbank and east
bound at Whitefish. Slightly colder
weather recently stopped the move-
ment of the snow and two mail trains
were worked through.
Sam Schlisler of Woody creek, has
corroborated the story of woman
whose name is unknown, being frozen
to death on Taylor creek. Her hus-
band went to Jordan after supplies
and help. He was unable to return
on account of the blizzard. A new
born babe was found beside the moth
er, wrapped in blankets and alive.
Schlisler says another settler, whose
name is also unknown, was frozen to
death on the north side within the
past two weeks.
Montana officials in attendance on
the meeting at Salt Lake last week of
state and federal health officials,
bring back word that DR.. L. D. Frick
of the public health service announced
that he had discovered and segregated
the organism responsible for spotted
fever. DR.. Frick worked on it three
years. Guinea pigs were inoculated
with the organism and developed spot
ted fever. DR.. Frick will now bend
his energies toward discovering a
serum.
At the annual meeting of the con-
ference board of union workmen de-
pendent on the liquor trade, held at
Billings last week, steps were taken
to launch a vigorous statewide cam
paign against prohibition. One of
the features of the campaign will be
the employing of women speakers,
twelve of whom are to be used.
Strong resolutions condemning the
prohibition advocates were adopted.
Fifty-four delegates. including M. M.
Donaghue. president of the Noun
tain State Federation of Labor, were
present.
Just how good is some Of the coun-
terfeit money being passed in Butte
is illustrated by the experience of a
deputy in the sheriff's office. He
was given a handful of counterfeit
coins, which had been collected in
Butte, and by mistake he mixed them
with some genuine money. At a
cigar store he gave counterfeit $5
gold piece in trade and later discov-
cred his mistake and rescued the
coin so he could turn it over to Sc
cret Service Inspector Callahan, who
has charge of the operations looking
toward the apprehension of the men
who brought the money here.
Information, that in the opinion of
the police, may lead to the arrest of
a prominent Great Falls physician as
head of a gang peddling "dope"
about the state, was obtained last
week, when two we'll dressed young
man, who gave the names of j. Muir

in downtown rooming house in
Butte. The physicians name is being
withheld by the police until the fed
eral officials can act in the case. In
the mems possession Detectives Pow
ell and O'Donnell found an opium
layout, including can of yenshi and
a jar of gum opium. A prescription
for drugs made out by the Great
