were being taken to prevent an ice
gorge in the Jefferson river. The Mil

Has for Object Betterment of Agri-

Havre.-In an address delivered at

here, Gov. S. V. Stewart spoke in
part as follows:
In accepting place on the program
for Farmers week I did not do so
with any idea that | could shea any
specific light on the scientific side of
farming proper in Montana. In this
day and age we have found that farm
ing has been reduced to a science; in
fact, to a profession.
Il was born on farm. and more
than half the years of my life were
spent in farm work. In the days
when l was hoy farming was not
held in as high esteem by the people
generally, and especially by the ris-
ing generation, as it is today. 1t
seemed to be the object and aim of
every young man and young woman
to get away from the farm.
"All of this is changed today.
Looking back over the record of
the last legislative assembly strik-
ing commentary of the Importance
OF the dominance of agricultural in

149 general acts passed by the last

Helena.
With the constantly increasing
growth of agriculture in this state and
the long distances which farm prod
ucts must be hauled to market, peo-
pie all over Montana are waking up
to the necessity of building better
highways and bridges, according to
George r. Metlen, secretary of the
state highway commission, who, with
A. W. Mahoy, state engineer, has re-
turned from a better roads" campaign
conducted in a number of counties in
eastern Montana.
The commission planned the CAM
paign with view of carrying the
good roads movement into every coun-
ty in Montana, and taking up the
question of highway betterment with
the county commissioners, the road
supervisors and organizations of vari-
Gus kinds, and also of getting sugges-
tions from them.
Up to date the commission has Wis.,

was the intention of the commission
also to enter Fallon, Big Horn and
Rosebud, but the weather was so Sc
we're that meetings could not be held.
The commission is now on the second
lap of the campaign.

and interest in the good roads ques-

Montana Banks Prosper.

With the enormous increase in
agricultural products in Montana
in 1915, the record-breaking output of
the mines; increased prices in wool
and livestock, as well as a general
uplift in all lines of business, Mon
tana banks are bursting with ready
cash, and have extended their re-
sources s16,S9S S,252,27 in a single year.
This remarkable record, which
cannot be duplicated in any other
state in the union, is shown in a
abatement issued by Superintendent Of
Banks H. S. Magraw, who prepared
figures to prove that the resources Of
214 state banks and 21 private banks
had increased 26 per cent from Decem-
ber 81, 1914 to December 81, 1915.
The total resources of banks De-
cember 81, 1914, amounted to $780,
969,011.17, while on a corresponding
date in 1915 they had climbed to $77,-
S6754.
Not the least important item of
Mr.. Magraw's statement is the fact
that overdrafts have decreased 20 per
cent during the same period. About
a year ago Mr.. Magraw made an ap-
peal to the bankers of Montana urg-
ing them to cooperate with him to
reduce overdrafts, and that they have
Loyalty assisted him is shown by the
fact that overdrafts have been re-
duced from $3.50, ,15O.27 on December.

of $606, 6,137.61.
