Praises the Plant
(Independent)

C. E. Miles, a government
flax fibre expert, was here last
week and spent several days
looking over the Conrad flax
fibre mill and the flax crop in
this section. Mr.. Miles was most
enthusiastic in his statements
concerning the future of the
flax fibre industry here, and
stated that the Pearson process,
used by the local concern, was
one of the very best in the
United States, and in fact was
producing much peter results
than any orher method of which
he knew. The Flax Fibre
company this week have an
expert here operating pulling
machine, which is said to work
very satisfactorily. This ma
chine will add very materially
the value of the crop.

Meet the Nezv Time in Montana
BY I. c. KARTACK

The reunited Republican Party
of M Montana met in convention as
sembled at the Placer Hotel, in
Helena, at noon Saturday last. 1t
was a meeting of tremendous inn
portance for it brought together
upon a common meeting ground all
former factions of the Party In
harmonious conference. 1t welded
aud merged those great forces that
believe unequivically i'll the prin-
ciple that government was es-
ablished to protect for all time the
rights and opportunities of every
individual, whether on land or sea;
forces that advocate vIrile
Americanism that will tolerate no
violation of the inalienable rights OF
mankind.
The voice of the people of Mon
tana was heard in the Republican
Convention at Helena. 1t rose
above the voice of organized Cap
ital; it drowned the voice of the
Brewery and Distillery Interests; it
hurled defiance in the face of Cor
ruption and Greed; it dealt a telling
blow upon an administration which
refuses to put into operation law
| that is of vital interest to the far
mers Of the State of Montana; it re-
verberated and swelled in volume
until it dominated the Convention
Hall; it worked It's way into the
Platform and crystalized there the
promise of Greater and Better
Montana. Thus did the voice Of the
People speak.

PARTY of Montana advocates: thu

Mass Meeting
Monday Night

Electric lights were the main
topic of conversation at the
council meeting Monday eve
ming. An application and pro-
posed ordinance presented by
Lewis & Albin was read and
discussed. This proposition if
adopted as submitted would
give grantees a twenty-year
franchise and contract the city
to purchase all current for
lighting and power purposes
from them. The proposition
fixed maximum rates for COM
mercial and residence lighting,
heating, etc, and contained a
clause allowing the city to par
ticipate in the profits of the
plant whenever the net profits
exceeded a certain amount.
S. M. Hawver also made ap-
plication for a franchise, on
similar terms, except that he
offered a sliding scale of rates,
becoming one cent per kilowatt
less each year for three years,
with a final rate of 15c, the
fourth year, and thereafter.
AS the council did not feel
justified in, taking final action
upon this matter with the in
formation at hand it was de-
cided to hold a public meeting
at the council chambers next
Monday evening, in order to
ascertain the sentiment of the
people in regard to the pro.
positions submitted and the
advisability of calling an elec-
ton at which to decide whether
or not such a franchise shall bt
granted.
Reports Of the police magis.
trate, town treasurer and waite
department were read and ap
proved, and the board of healtl
was granted the use of tht
police department for enforcing
sanitary laws.

Mis- S Rankin Is
Coming Saturday

Miss jeanette Rankin, re-
publican nominee for Congress
from Montana, will speak in
Cut Bank Saturday evening; in
Browns hall.
The visit to Cut Bank Of Miss
Rankin is eagerly awaited by
people of all political persua-
sions. Miss Rankin, by her
spectacular lead of over a half
dozen aspirants for congress on
the republican primary ballot,
has jumped into national prom
inence. In fact Miss Rankin
had attained national prom
inence in a measure before her
nomination, having been acti-
vely identified with the suffrage
and temperance movements in
the state and nation tor the past
few years.
Towns and cities all over
Montana are clamoring to Sc
cure the little lady for speaking
engagements, besieging the state
committee. So Cut Bank is
rather fortunate in being favor
ed by a dating so early in the
campaign.
Regardless of your political
belief, come out and hear Miss
Rankin Saturday evening.

Visit is Brief But
Very Pleasant One

The Great Falls Trade ex-
cursion train made a stop of
nearly an hour in Cut Bank
last evening and during the
brief time allotted the business
men of the northern Montana
metropolis had an opportunity
to learn of the cordial feeling
for that city that exists in Cut
Bank and the genuine good
wishes for the attainment of it's
ambitions to be the marketing
and distributing point for this
territory. There was no set
program. Band music, auto
rides about the city and suburbs
and a closer cementing of good
fellowship consumed the time
that the delegation remained
here.

ten Thousand travellers visited

last year when there was heavy
travel to the San Francisco and

conventions held in Seattle,

record for rapid popularity in

Dry Special
Here Monday

Cut Bank had a presidential
candidate as it's guest on Tues
day afternoon. j. Frank Hanley
ex-governor of Indiana, pro-
hibition candidate for president,
his running mate for vice pres
ident and a gentleman named
Stewart, together with their
wives and other members of
the party, came in on a special
train at 2:10 and while the train
crews were changing short ad-
dresses were delivered. The
speakers exhorted those who
assembled to renounce the dem
ocratic and republican parties
and vote the prohibition ticket.
The talks were listened to at
tentatively but few if any con-
verts were made. There is no
need for a prohibition party in
the nation. The big political
parties are falling in line for
prohibition. The question is all
but settled in Montana. Both
political parties have come out
for a dry" state. So a vote fol
prohibition is a vote wasted, as
we see it.

Thresher Begins
to Tell The Tale
Splendid Reports from the
Marias Slope Section
Coming In

The first threshing report of
1916 that reached the Pioneer
Press office came from the Mar
las Slope country, south Of
Ethridge, Ten acres of spring
wheat on the farm of Alfred
Hallenbar, south of Ethridge,
yielded As bushels. Alfred has
AZ acres Of wheat on his bone
stead. Threshing operations IN
his homestead were prevented
by rain.
The crops in the Fthrihge
Valley this year are the best
since farming began in that
section. The Marias Slope
country, southwest of Ethridge
and south of Cut Bank has
harvested a record-smashing
crop. That section was favor
ed with a heavy rain last spring,
about ten days before the rainy
season set in north of Cut Bank.
Therefore the crop matured
much earlier and threshing
operations down there are now
under way.
Harvest is general in the
north country. The wheat is
not so rank as last year and
probably will not yield as
heavily, but the big difference
in price will more than offset
the possible lower yield. The
flax crop is the best ever seen
in this section and the acreage
is the biggest hy hundreds of
acres since farming began here.
The season of 1916 is, all in
all, the most favorable that this
section has ever seen. The
grain and flax harvest will
bring more money than the
record harvest of last year.
The big ranchers north of
Headlight have gone into the
stock business on quite an ex-
tensive scale end butterfat
cattle in large herds can be
seen on all sides. In the old
cattle days the wealth de-
rived from stock was for the
most part absorbed by absentee
owners at Helena and else
where. Today the herds are
not so large but the collective
number if probably >as great
and owned by men who make
the Cut Bank community theil
home.
This section is now in an ex-
ceptionally prosperous condition
Wise judgment and caution il
planning for the coming years
should temper our enthusiasm
If We build wisely now ou'
stability as great grain ant
stock region is assured.

irrigation but is capable Of
growing forage crops. Persons
