COTTON FUTURES
 BREAK lC POUND
Rains in Texas and Bear Pres sure Cause Big Decline-Was Some Active Selling For Liv- erpOOi.

New York, Sept. 4.-There was break of over a cent pound in the cotton market today, with December contracts selling off to 20.77c. or $5.90 per bale below the closing price of Friday and $27.20 per bale under the high price of last month. Reports of good rains in Texas and increased spot offerings over the holidays seem- ed to stimulate selling on the bearish view of Fridays government report, while nervousness was increased by the weakness in the stock market and beyond covering there was very little demand in evidence. The close was steady at net loss of 90 to 113 points
 The market opened easy at de- cline of 43 to 63 points. It looked as if good many selling orders had ac- cumulated over the three-day adjourn ment, partly for Southern account, which suggested hedging against the increasing new crop movement. There was also active selling for Liverpool. After the first rush of selling orders had been absorbed the market stiff fened up on reports that rains in drouthy sections of Texas had come too late. Rallies of Is or 20 points met increased offerings, however, and the market was very weak during the afternoon.
 Cotton closed steady.

RUSSIANS IN FULL RE-
 TREAT ON RIGA COAST
Germans Smelling Gulf Towns and May Seal up Slav Fleet Two Bavarian Divisions Sent to Help Hold Back Italians.

New York, Sept. 4.-F'rom Riga to the east of UXkull the Russians con- tinue in full retreat before the Ger mans. Those from Riga are making their way northeastward along the coast of the Gulf Of Riga and those from Uxkull and vicinity are endeav- bring to reach the Riga Pskotf- Petro- grad railway line.
 The Russians left Riga partly afame as the result of the German shells hurled into the town before they departed, while the smouldering remains of small villages marks the path over which the other contingents have passed, having been set on fire during the retreat.
 Along the eastern coast of the Gulf of Riga for about so miles north of the city, German warships are she'll ing various towns, possibly with the intention of covering a landing of troops whose object would be to cut off the retreat of the Riga army or turn it's flank, thereby entirely clear ing the gulf shore region and giving Prince Leopold of Bavaria a base, pos sibly at Pernau, whence to operate overland in conjunction with the na- val forces toward Reval, Russia's principal port on the Gulf of Finland, in an enreavor to seal up the Russian fleet inside the gulf.
 While the Germans were knocking at the gates of Riga from the west and southwest, hurling shells of all calibers and loosing gas waves against the town, loyal Russian troops held them back long enough to blow up the Notifications at the mouth of the Dvina and rage the bridges over the waterway. To the south, where the defection in the ranks of the Rus sans apparently was greatest, the Germans, according to the Berlin otfi- cial communication, took some thou sands of prisoners and also captured more than 150 guns and large quanti- ties of war material.
 In the Austro-Italian theater the intensive infantry fighting of pre- vious days seemingly has given way to violent artillery duels. The cessa- tion in the fighting probably is due to realignment by the Italians of the battle line after their rapid advance all along the front from Tolmino to the sea.
 It is reported that q cry of distress has been sent to the Germans by the Austrians, asking for men to aid in holding back the Italian advancee. As a result, it is said that Field Marshal von Hindenburg has sent two Bava- rian divisions to the Isonzo front and that the Germans are hastening the manufacture of guns for the protec- ton of the Hermada heights, the key to Triest.
 Italian aviators have attacked Pola, Austria's big naval base on the Ad- ratic. Nine tons of explosives have been dropped on warships in the road stead and on military works, causing great damage.

EXPLAINS SCOPE
OF FARM BUREAU
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
REPRESENTATIVE TALKS
AT HELENA MEETING.
Bureau Does Not in Any Way Con-
flict With Such Business Organiza-
tions as Grange, Equity or Farm
ers' Union, Says Nj. Il. Wilson; En-
ables Cooperation With U. S.

Features of farm bureau work in
union were explained by M. l.. Will
son of the United States department
of agriculture in talk before the
annual meeting of the Lewis and
Clark farm bureau.
He began his discussion of the
farm bureau by pointing out that one
great weakness of American farming
today is the lack of community CO.
operation in solving n ighborhood
problems. This is remedied in many
communities by the farm bureau and
it's work.
There Are Many Bureaus.
There are about 400 counties in
the United States that now have
working farm bureaus. He told Of
visiting several of such counties in
New York last fall and gave in
stances of the splendid work they did
in bringing the statewide milk strike
to a conclusion satisfactory to the
farmers. Another instance cited was
the service rendered in potato-grow-
ing counties in Nebraska, where
daily market reports were received
by wire through cooperation be-
tween the farm bureau and the Of
flee of markets of the United States
department of agriculture. This ser
vice considerably increased the cash
income of all the potato growers.
Three Groups.
Mr.. Wilson went on to state that
farming problems naturally fall into
three groups, amely-organizat
production, marketing. The farm
bureau is name given to partner
ship between the farmers of coun-
ty, the state college of agriculture
and the United States department Of
agriculture, formed for the purpose
of solving the local phases of the
above problems. He made it clear
that this did not in any way conflict
with such business organizations as
the grange, equity or farmers union

NOTED BOWER BR0S.'
RANCH TO Be SOLD

The entire holdings of the Long
a subsidiary of the j. B. Long COM
pany, which owns the former Bower
Brothers ranch, are going to be di-
vided up and sold to settlers. The
rapid agricultural development of
that section and the increase in the
value of land has made it no longer
profita BILE to use this land in the old
method of stock raising.
The old Bower Brothers ranch
was one of the best known in this
section in the days when Montana
was one great cattle and sheep pas
ture. In the fall of 1880 the Bower
brothers located on Surprise creek,
about five or six miles west of the
old stage town of Stanford. Acqulr-
ing title to 16O acres Of land they
started operations with 1900 head
of sheep. Gradually they increased
their holdings by buying from other
locators. In 1890 they purchased a
large acreage, including the ranches
of Ben Phillips and Allen Pierce on
Wolf Creek and the John Scott
ranches on Surprise creek. A little
later they added to their operations
the Wall and Allen ranches on Wolf
creek. In 1907 the Long Investment
company purchased the entire hold
ings of Bower Brothers, which con
sisted of 39,125 acres and 5000
sheep.
The nearest railroad town was
Lewistown, SO miles east, while
Great Falls, the headquarters of j,
B. Long & Co., lay rs miles north. In
1908 the Great Northern built its
Billings-Great Falls line through thu
section and the old town of Stanford
was abandoned and the present town
established at the railroad.
