CLEARWATER BRANCH
READY FOR GRADING

The grading work on the extension
of the Milwaukee track up the Black
foot from McNamara's landing up to
the Clearwater post office Is nearly
completed. and as soon as the frost
goes out of the ground the railway
company will start laying rails.
Work was started in April and in
July the contractors in charge of the
work started grading operations on the
22-mile stretch of road. The railroad
is built along the edge OF the Black
foot river and runs up to Blanchard
creek and to Clearwater. Conditions
for construction have been very favor
able, as only a grade of one-half per
cent on the average was encountered.
The contractors have had consid-
cradle trouble in getting sufficient
| help. as they have had over 800 men
working on the project At present a
few engineers are working on the
road. but the actual labor of grading
is completed. IT is expected that ..e
Milwaukee will start laying rails about
the first Of April and that by the first
Of May the Blackfoot branch will be
ready for travel all the way up to
| Clearwater postoffice.

COLLEGE TEACHER HERE
Bozeman Institution to Send
Instructor to Forest
Rangers School.

The suggestion of Dorr Skeels, dean
| of the school of forestry of the State
University, that an agricultural expert
from the College of Agriculture and
Mechapic Arts at Bozeman be trans
ferred to the forestry school for a
week or ten days to give course in
grazing in the short course, has met
with the approval of Chancellor Ell
lott. The chancellor wrote Dean
Skeels yesterday to the effect that he
has requested President Hamilton OF
the State College to endeavor to trans
fer an expert here.
Relative to the instruction in graz
ing in the school of forestry, l am
Chancellor Elliott wrote to Dean
Skeels
Ii the expert comes he will instruct
the men registered in the short course
in forestry, the majority of whom are
rangers, guards and other employees of
viz SclSlCts Hc
short course extends for IA weeks.
Almost all of the public domain
suitable for grazing purposes is now
included within the boundaries of ma
tional forests" Dean Skeels wrote to
Chancellor Elliott in making his re-
quest for the Bohemian expert, "and
there Is almost no other open range
left. The use of national forest lands
for grazing Is not only, next to TIM
Der production, the most important
use of the national forest. but it is
also a big important factor in the pro-
duction Of the nations meat supply.
"The administration of the grazing
uses of the national forests is being
developed more and more along scien-
tifie and technical lines. and the forest
service finds a great need for for
esters who have a proper training for
such work. These conditions lead me
to believe that we should make train
ing In our grazing courses as thorough
as possible"

UNIONS 1NeRHta WAGES.
Cost Of NECESSITIES Over
Reach Present Scale, Is
Reason Given.

Transfers. carpenters and painters
OF Missoula have made q decjdsd In
crease in the wage scale for 1917. The
raise from IS to 80 a day for the car
penters went into effect January /
and a. similar increase will be made
for the painters April /. The team
sters have announced a raise to 81 a
day for man and team and $3.50 day
for the driver Of two horse team.
The unions give the high cost of lily.
Ing as the reason for the raise. A
large part OF the member are enrolled
as married men, this being especially
true OF the better class of workmen,
and they maintain that it is physical
as we'll as a financial impossibility for
a man to provide bodily comfort for
his family under the present prices
and the present wages. They point
out that it Is the necessities rather
than the luxuries OF OF life that have
been subject to the soaring tendency
of the market.
It has also been rumored that the
common laborers are looking forward
to an increase in pay, but nothing
definite can be learned from the union
headquarters.
