power Of Montana. lie wanted the power,
first, to operate 100 miles of railroads used
by the mines. He produced the power so
cheaply and applied it so we'll that the St.
Paul Railroad managers were impressed
with what he had done. They studied his
plant and his motors and then decided to
electrify their lines through the Rocky
Mountains. They buy their power from
him. In addition he sells power and light
to the greater part of the State.
He was charged by a congressional COM
mittee two years ago with being a monopo-
list and was summoned to Washington to
defend himself When the committee asked
him If his power company did not monopo.
LIE the business he replied:
Yes; it does 95 per cent of the business
in its line in the State. 1t has monopoly
not of the water-power resources of the
State, but Of the market, and it's a mo.
nopoly because the service it gives is so
good and the charges are so low that
there is no possibility of competition from
any other water-power company or from
any other source"

ByrneS Makes Protest.

Washington, June 1S.-Represen-
tative Byrnes has just had a confer
ence with the federal railroad Off
cials with reference to the order re-
Gently issued by the Southern rail
way prohibiting cotton buyers from
using the railroad platforms for the
purpose of weighing and marketing
cotton. Mr.. Byrnes urged that the
enforcement of the order would ne
cessitate the construction of plat
forms in every small town in South
Carolina at an expense which would
finally be shifted to the farmer and
that lumber and labor necessary to
construct these platforms could be
used for purposes more directly con-
nected with the prosecution of the
war.
Officials have taken under advise
ment the request of modifying the
order, so as to avoid if possible the
to both the farmer
and cotton buyer.
