ROUNDUP OIL FIELD
is BUSY LOCATION

Roundup, Nov. 17.--Three wells
drilling in the DEVILS Basin may come
in at any time. The Van Duzen discov-
cry well in section 24-11-24 has been
cleared of distractions and drilling is
proceeding at about 1850 feet. The
Great American in 30-11-25, was re-
ported to have struck the first sands
earlier in the week but it is expected
that about 100 feet must be drilled
before production is reached. The
Devils Dome, in 1S-11-25 is nearing
the 1000 foot level and is within 200
feet of the first sands, it is thought.

We think there is another measure
that might well be considered, that is
a law making voting compulsory and
fixing a penalty for the man or woman
who fails to register and to vote. 1t is
only when a great crisis confronts
them as was the case in Montana last
Tuesday, that it is possible to interest
the whole people in the most impor-

It is indeed an inspiration to see the
Glasgow Fire Department in action.
To a newcomer in the city, it is no
small source of satisfaction to feel
that one is to reside in a city possess
ing a really effective fire fighting or
ganization ever on hand. 1t is safe to
state that there are very few like
sized cities in the entire northwest

ROADS ASK HIGH RATES
TO COVER WAGE RAISE

Washington, July 22.-To provide
the additional revenue necessary
to meet the $600,000,0O0 increase in
wages awarded by the Railroad La
Dor Board, the railroads Of the coun-
try proposed today to the Interstate
Commerce Commission that passen-
ger rates be advanced 20 per cent
and freight rates 9.13 per cent in adj
di-ion to the 276 per cent previously
requested. They also proposed that
surcharge Of 80 per cent be made
on Pullman fares. excess baggage
rates be increased 20 per cent and
milk tariffs be increased to the same
level as freight rates.
Should the increase proposed to-
day and those previously asked for
be granted in full, existing freight
rates would be advanced 269 per
cent and the nations freight bill BY
1856, S79, 675. The total which would
be added to the passenger revenue
under the railway executives plan
would be $3.50, 827, 1882 annually. Pull
man charges would go up $43, 1888, 344
year; the revenue on milk would
be increased $8,662,089 and excess
baggage charges would be advanced
by 81 APO, 1916.
The plan presented by the rail-
road executives disclosed that they
have estimated the wage award at
approximately $500, 100000 instead of
S6O0,000,000 figured by the labor
board. Alfred p. Thorn. general
counsel of the Association of Rail-
way Executives, explained that the
SIG, 100000 additional was figured on
the basis Of overtime allowances pro-
vided in the award.
The proposals Of the executives
was submitted to the commission by
Mr.. Thorn after a conference with
its members. The commission made
no comment on receiving the pro-
posal and did not indicate whether
it would order hearings.
Hearings on the billion-dollar
feight rate increase case were
conducted two weeks ago and the
general expectation has been that
the commission would grant single
increase to cover both that and the
added expenses resulting. from the
wage advances so as to permit the
filing Of the new tariffs before the
government guarantee to the rail-
roads expires on September 1, under
the terms of the transportation act.
The total increases from all
sources Of revenue in each Of the
three railroad classification terri
tories would correspond to the esti-
mated increase on wages h those
territories.

CHEERING NEWS
IN CROP REPORTS
UNITED STATES CROP REPORTS
ARE REASSURING
Great Degree of Comfort to be Elk
tracted From RepOrts-Figures
Fall Not Far Behind Other Years
in Matter of PrOductiOn-Farmers
Have Been on the Job.


R. M. Gates, Washington CORE
spondent of the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, has the following cheering
and reassuring letter in that paper
under date of July %:
Cheer up. everybody, for the farm
ers are farming. After allowing a
wide margin for an unprecedented
farm labor shortage in many sections
of the country and in the face Of
transportation complications which
for months have restricted crop
movements, American farmers have
come through this veritable maze Of
difficulties with flying colors. May
not this reassuring achievement
augur good performance for other
factors relating to crop production
and distribution?
There is ample cause for good
cheer and general rejoicing in the
governments reports from the farms.
For example, there is indicated a
wheat production of 800,000,00O BUSH
els, as against the preceding five
year average of 844,000,000 bushels.
This reassurihg showing is bols.ered
by a surplus of last years wheat
CROP amounting TO more than Az ,000,-
600 bushels. The encouraging and
very creditable feature Of this years
wheat production lies in the fact that
the farmers have Appropriated the
five-year average despite undimin-
ished complexities and a decline in
exports.
With reference to export reduction,
government reports show that for the
six weeks ended July s shipments
from the United States to Canadian
ports were Al 100000, as compared
with 50,0O0,0O0 for the same period
last year. The especial significance
of these figures is that Europe is re-
covering from the paralyzing effect
of the war and is progressing toward
its Observation-Disclosures status in the
vital matter Of food production. En-
couraging cereal production is prom
Used by France, Germany, Belgium.
Spain and Bulgaria.
Government reports as to corn pro-
duction prospects are likewise reas-
surfing in the announced expectation
Of crop of 2,779,000,0O0 bushels
approximately 45,00O000 bushels
short Of the average yield of the last
five years. Decreased E1ropean ex-
ports Of pork and beef is suggested
as the cause Of the decline in corn
production. The estimated corn crop
is still 25,OOO,OOO bushels in excess Of
the average Of the five wears prior
to 1914, when Americas big meat ex-
ports began. With plenty of corn
there should be plenty of pork the
coming winter.
In the matter of potatoes there is
an increase of 3O.00O,0OO bushels
over the crop Of last year, which
totaled 388,O0O,O0O bushels.
The degree Of comfort to be ex-
tracted from these Official figures is
equaled only by the compliment which
they convey to the farmers Of Ameri-
ca. who are doing their duty with
undiminshed earnestness and patri-
otto determination, despite the nres-
sure Of difficulties and complexities.
SO after all the ravens croak is to
be drowned in the paeans of praise
at the coming harvest time for The
triumph of the farmers of America.
