When shippers themselves join in a
petition asking that higher freight
rates be established, the rate question
assumes new aspect. That such a
situation has been reached is indicated
by the public declaration of Walter

his opinion, desirable. Dickey manu-
features clay products in ten different
states and ships some $4,000 carloads

There is much activity among the
beet growers who are coming into the
Bitter Root valley from Colorado and
other beet producing sections. MANY
ranches in the Bitter Root have
been leased for the year for beet
purposes. and also many of the set
tiers have contracted to grow beets.
The field men of both the Missoula
and Hamilton factories are on the
ground already.
One thing that is quite noticeable
in connection with the sugar beet men
especially those from the beet grow
ing sections who have come to the
Bitter Root: They are on the look out
for good stock, and the best horses
that are on the market. The larger and
better the horses, the better pleased
seem the buyers.
Last evening one of the new men
who had Just came to the valley. stat
ed that back in his country the beet
tops were assorted in piles about the
fields and that with them on the
ground the pasture was readily leased
at S. per acre. He had looked around
the valley q. little and stated that he
believed it was an ideal beet country.
