Requests for approval Of reductions

initial carriers or their agents, by ap-
plication to the interstate commerce

It is not expected. however, that any
changes will be made in rates or charges

retary Schiller, as the roads will not
have had time before then to make a
final check on all accounts and charges
Nothing has been definitely determined

WATERWAY To EAST

Better Shipping Facilities to

ed by Association.

AS means of securing better #l.upinc
improving the waterways from the Great
Lakes to the Atlantic coast by way of
the st. Lawrence river. the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence Tidewater association has
been organized with Montana as a mem
ber, according to a communication re-
ceived by the Great Falls Commercial
club.
The organization includes Montana.
North and South Dakota, Idaho. Wyo-
ming, Colorado, Nebraska. Iowa, Indiana
Ohio. Minnesota. Wisconsin. Michigan
and Illinois. H. G. Gardner of Chicago
is president and Charles B. Craig Of
Duluth is executive director.
An Educational Plan.
The association has been formed for
the purpose of informing the public
and submitting the facts to the interna-
tional joint commission and to CON
greSS.
1t is claimed by the association that
the annual shortage of cars during the
crop movement from Montana and other
western points amount to structure in
the free flow Of commodities. The re-
suit is that the farmer often makes a
sacrifice in price in the local glut. while
the consumer at the other end pays in
creased prices due to the shortage in
grain movement. In one case it is said
that III periods of car shortage the mar
gin between farm and consumer in the
price of potatoes broadened 100 per
cent. 1t is also claimed that the middle
man did not take the whole margin as
profit. as he was subject to unusual
risks and losses
Profit is Feasible.
The association advances the claim
that Il partial remedy for the situation
would be the improving of the waterways
from the Great Lakes to the Atlanti:
to pass full seasoing cargoes. The pro-
ject is said to be feasible and the cost
comparatively moderate.
1t would place every port on the
Great Lakes on the seas. and would
take off considerable portion Of the
peak load from the trunk line railways
during the great crop movement sensor.
and would give the railroads the beue
fit of better average load, association
officials declare.

Montana is becoming one of the best
markets for airplanes in the northwest,
: according to NJ. A. Northrop, Of Min
neapolis, sales manager for the Curtis
Northwest Airplanc company, who is in
Great Falls in the interest of his COM
pany.
Mr.. Northrop has already sold num-
Der Of machines in this state, and has
prospects lined up for many more. He
has just returned from Livingston.
where he has negotiated to sell a high
powered machine to the Yellowstone
Park Aviation company. recently incor-
pOrated with capitalization of $4O,-
600.
If present plans are carried out, the
Livingston company will have 10 pas
senger airplane, with two 400 horse
power motors. developing 500 horse
power in all, and will be able to make
124 miles per hour, and keep in the air
for $50 miles without landing.
With this airplane, passengers could
be transported from Yellowstone Ma
ti0nal park to Glacier park, over Great
Falls, in approximately three hours.
Popular for Business.
Not all the machines which are being
sold by Mr.. Northrop have been pur-
chased for commercial purposes, how
ever. Several bankers have negotiat-
ed for the purchase of airplanes. to be
used in business. Industrial concerns
are also buying now, in order that Off
cials may make quick trips to various
points
Il have been investigating conditions
in Montana for the past few weeks, and
I find them excellent" said Mr.. North
rop. with a good crop this year, this
state will be prosperous. AS it is, l
have done an enormous amount of busi-
ness in Montana, and expect to do much
more.
Last year, from July to September.
we sold 40 airplanes in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Montana.
This year we will pass that record.
There have been about Is sold up to
the present time this spring.
"A great many are buying machines
now for pleasure purposes, in the same
manner that many purchase automobiles.
Airplanes range in price about the same
as good cars, from $1,000 to $4,000
. for the largest The machines vary in
size from the little two passenger 10
horse power to the 10 passenger, 500
horse power ships. The three passen-
ger $50 horse power airplane is proving
popular in the northwest. 1t will make
100 miles an hour. and will travel 44O
miles without alighting.
