leave it to congress. In his last
message he stated that If congress
did not offer some solution of the rail-
road program he would presently
have to return the roads to their pri-
vate owners.
1t is known that the president has
felt. with Republicans in power, the
best course would be to give them
vast freedom in working out their
own solutions of the domestic prob
lens. The country would then be able
to judge which party best handled
legislation while in power.

delegate authority for enforcing it.

completed. The presidents friends
have said that he will not move to
stop its going into effect (unless con-
gress acts in the interim) until DEMO-
bilization has been completed. This IS
expected to be accomplished some
time in September.
Where the president will land upon
his return home has not yet been de-
cided.
1t is believed by his friends that he
will desire no big welcome on this side

He plans to take a vacation and get
much needed rest after the peace
treaty is ratified by the senate.

The question of a national employ
ment service in cooperation with
states and municipalities and to pro-
Ject a program for. future legislation
will be discussed at the conference
One of the purposes also is to define
and establish the most effective form
of relationship between national and
state employment activities. In a gem
eral way efforts will be made to estab-
lish permanent employment service
that will meet the demands for yari-
Gus states and municipalities.
+ 1t is probable that the question of
distributing labor will be threshed out
and that action will be taken looking
to action by states and cities in meet
ing the perplexing tie-ups in construc-

Grain elevator building in the south
west within the next few months is
expected to reach a record figure. No
hesitancy in building because of high
prices of materials has been reported.
One engineering company here is
in possession of contract awards call
| ing for 100000 bushels additional
storage capacity and two other COM
panies report contracts for erection OF
grain elevators at interior shipping
points in southwestern states.
Kansas City ranks fifth in amount
of storage available for wheat, with
24,00O,O00 bushels capacity.
Activities have been started in this
city for erection of three flour mills
with 1900 barrels daily output each.
The Southwestern Milling company
had under construction a $500 barrel
mill, which will bring the total daily
output of that company to 1900 bar
rels. Smaller mills are being contem-
plated.
County storage facilities have been
increased by erection of many new
elevators in Missouri, Kansas and
southwestern states. Producers also
are building additional bins on the
farms.
Besides terminal points, there are
big grain elevators located at the
larger cities of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas.
Harvesting and storing of the rec
ord wheat crop of the southwest may
prove serious problems, but thus far
very little apprehension has been ex-
pressed. The labor problem has been
greatly simplified by returning SOL
diers and war workers
Under new arrangement, the food

ED. JACOBSEN OF FROID
RECEIVES PROMOTION

Froid Tribune: Edwin Jacobsen who
left here late in the fall of 1917 and
enlisted in the service of the govern
ment and took up work in the ship
yards on the coast where he remained
for several months, writes US that he
was some time afterwards assigned to
troop ship which was to have sailed
for Europe last September but the
day he was to have sailed his station
was put in quarantine on account of
smallpox so he missed his chance to
go overseas at that time, and by the
time the quarantine had been lifted
the armistice had been signed so he
was out of luck both times. Some
years ago Mr.. Jacobsen was in the
Coast Survey Service and his know
ledge along that line gave him speedy
promotion to Instructor in Seamen-
ship which position he now holds. Six
hours of each day Ed. attends the
Shipping Boards Training School fol-
officers and the other six he attends
to his duties as instructor, so accord
ing to that he has little or no leisure
time to while away.
Ed. states that his brother Jake is
now in Italy, while his personal adj
dress is West Seattle, Wash.

MANY MILES OF PUBLIC
HIGHWAYS IN MONTANA

Helena, Jan. 23.-The report of the
state highway commission which has
just been competed reveals the fact
that there are in excess of $4,000
miles of public highway within the
state of Montana. Other very inter-
esting disclosures are made in the
report since it makes known some
thing of the magnitude of the work
being carried on by the commission.
Standards in highway construction
recommended after exhaustive study
of local constructive materials have
been generally adopted by the several
counties; the development of stand
ards in bridge construction have adj
vanced to the point that county COM
missioners. communicate their re-
quirements to the highway commits
sion and standard design is fur
nished. AS consequence of this
practice county commissioners are no
longer at the mercy of bridge con-
signs but insist that all bids be based
upon the plan furnished by the COM
mission. To Nov. 80, approximately
so federal aid highway projects have
been initiated as consequence of the
commissions effort. The war, in
ability or failure to meet federal re-
quirements by the counties reduced
the number of active projects to 81
projects involving an expenditure In
excess of $1,25O,000.00. A number
Of the original projects which were
permitted to languish will be revived
during the ensuing year, however.
Thirty of the So so-called active pro-
jects have been surveyed and by
March first all will have been pre-
pared for consideration by the secre-
tary of agriculture to the end that
construction may be undertaken and
prosecuted to completion during the
1919 season.
Ten state aid propects involving
the expenditure of approximately
S193,00000 are either under construc,
ton or in the process. County CO.
operative, another very important
branch of the work being performed
by the commission is covered at some
length in the report, as it the WORT
of introducing uniform systems Of
cost records. The divisions for test
ing road materials, developing con
struction organizations, developing
appliances and information are being
developed as rapidly as the demand
warrant.
Taken as a whole the report is ;
highly comprehensive statement :,
the policies, aims and performance
Of this very important commission
and, too, tells something Of the OBJ
stacles encountered during the pas
year due to the very unusual condi
lions then obtaining.

they come due just after harvest, and
thereby force the farmers grain on
the market at the worst possible time.
Under the new methods, on the
other hand, the North Dakota farmer
will get a warehouse receipt for his
Grain. and If he needs money he will
he able to borrow on his warehouse
receipt from the state bank any sum
up. to ninety per cent of the market
value of the grain. He will thus get
what money he needs to pay off
banks and butchers and grocers, and
at the same time will remain the own
err of the grain until he thinks the
market is right to sell.
Because the security offered, that
lis. the grain in storage, properly in
sured, is about the best security in the
world, the rate of interest on these
loans will be very low. Private banks
will probably compete with the state
bank for some of the business once
the new system is put across. AS the
results of it become apparent the de
mand for similar service will be ire
sistible throughout the whole North
west, even if, as the kept press woult
say, it is socialistic, anarchistic, Dol
shevistic. The farmers of the North

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE TO
AID DISABLED SOLDIERS

Great Falls, Jan. 23.-That the
United States Employment Service
in Montana will render every aid pos
sible to disabled soldiers, is the de-
claraton Of Scott Leavitt, Federal D.
rector of the Service for the State of
Montana, and each of the superin
tendents in the thirteen offices of the
service in the state have been asked
to make special effort to place dis
abled. soldiers into position which will
be remunerative and where they can
earn living.
Requests for four such soldiers
have been received at the office of the
Federal Director. One of these Is
from the Public Drug Company, Great
Falls; two come from w. G. Brooks,
proprietor of a large garage at
Roundup; the fourth from Great
Falls dentist who wants a man with
labratory experience.
The Public Drug Company can use
q man to operate new device which
is to be installed, and will pay the
man a liberal commission on the bust
ness done. Mr.. Brooks can use one
man to be in charge of the garage at
night and do light machinist's work;
the other man is needed to look after
the office in the day time, keeps books
and handle correspondence.
In seeking to place disabled SOL
diers the u. S. Employment Service
for Montana is cooperating with the
Federal Board for Vocational train
ing. Montana is in the thirteenth dis
trict, headquarters of which is at Sc
attic.
In performing this service to the
Scared heroes of the war the United
States Employment Services seeks the
cooperation of the employers of labor
in Montana, and where position Is
vacant, it is the desire of the En-
ployment Service that preference be
given manned men where they can
perform the duties of the position
equally well.
