WHEAT MOVEMENT ACCELERATED
BY GOOD ROADS AND MOTOR HELP

Notwithstanding the fact that the
wheat market is still still far from salts
factory to- the average farmer of this
section, the local elevator men note
an increasing tendency of the farmers
now delivering their wheat to sell out
right rather than hold it in the eleva-
tors for a higher price. At the first
of the season there was much wheat
stored and in Consequence the farm
ers lost heavily in the subsequent
drops.
The last week or two has seen a
great increase in the deliveries and
unless cars for shipping are imme-
diately available the local elevators
viii be compelled to stop haulage tenn
porarily as both houses were practi-
cally filled yesterday. There appears
to be a temporary shortage of cars
suitable to ship grain in, the local ele-
vators both having put in orders for
several cars which failed to arrive the
first of the week.
Tuesday night the records of the
Rocky Mountain elevator showed that
"a 40-ton cars averaging 1450 bushels
of wheat each had been shipped so
far this season. The Farmers eleva-
tor reports 81 cars shipped during the
same period and between $4,000 and
10000 bushels are now held is the
houses awaiting shipment. Approxi-
mately this means that 100000 bush
els of wheat have been handled by the
two local elevators. according to the
estimates of the elevator men, this
represents but little more than half
of the total amount of wheat that will
be marketed at this point this season.
Only a few fields of this section re-
main to be threshed and those are To-
Gated in the foothills in the outlying
districts of the valley. The Walter
Wood and Walter Mehmke machines
are operating yet in the upper Little
Belt and Willow creek sections and a
machine or two are still working in
the Tiger Butte and Evans districts.
Some of the heaviest yields are re-
corded in these districts and the ag-
gregate amount of grain from these
smaller farms will be unusually large
AS an instance, the Maxi farms at the
head of North Willow operated by
the elder Maxi and sons, Richard and
Emil, are reported to have threshed
out $4,000 bushels, and part of this
crop was injured by hail in August
For the past week there has been a |
steady stream of wheat coming in
from all directions and the elevator

yOn Road Unp0p-
uIar WithLeaguo

The proposed road through the Mis-
souri, river canyon between Craig and
Hardy to be built by aid of a special
election and bond issue seems destined
to flivver before it gets fairly started.
1t has been regarded in this section as
merelyva "GFeat Falls. project, but it
is now evident that there is really very
little support for it there and nraeti-
cally none at all in this section Of the
county.
Petitions have been received by sew
eral in this section from the Great
Falls Commercial club, requesting an
election to be had for the purpose of
voting a 100000 bond issue for the
building of this road, but so far as we
can learn, they=hage met rather cool
reception by the taxpayers of this.
locality That this view of the mat
ter is not confined 70 this end Of the
county was shown at the meeting of
the Cascade County Taxpayers Lea
que held last Thursday evening at
Great Falls, where a resolution was
unanimously passed stating that the
league was opposed to the calling of
any special election at this time. The
league at least is clearly opposed to
the scheme.
Among those taking part in the dis
cussion against the road were John
York, j. S. Stewart, John Young,
Charles Hay, Alfred Malmberg, VIM
Smell, Jack Mainland. J. 0. Selstrom,
r. j. MeDermand and several others

for refusing to use any
part of the 100000 bonds voted by
the people two years ago and still un-
sold, for the. canyon road, but to use
them only for the benefit of county
roads, was adopted.
Residents of that portion of Lewis
and Clark county including Augusta
and Stearns have expressed their op-
position to the inclusion of their terri
tory within any new county, and also !
their opposition to tse holding of an
election to vote on bond issue to
build the Lewis and Clark county part /

That the short haul by truck is a
real factor of competition with the
raifruad rs proven by events Of the
past week in the local coal industry.
Not only that, but the direct delivery
to consumers by truck haulers to Great
Falls customers from the Sand Coulee
and Belt fields has caused consterna-
ton among the dealers in that city
that eliminated in a sudden drop in
prices last Friday and Saturday of
from 80 cents to 81 IA ton. The quail
ity of the commercial coal that has
been put out by the Belt mines during
the present season is a matter that is
causing worry to the dealers who have
been handling the much touted coal

men are expectisg a still greater rush
as fall work on the farms nears COM
pletion. Road conditions were never
better and the Increasing use of motor
trucks for haulage makes deliveries
more rapid.
A number of custom trucks operat-
ed by Independent owners have been
used in this section and have clearly
demonstrated the value of the motor
truck for rapid haulage from farm to
market. The usual charge Of these in
dependent haulers has been one cent
per mile per bushel of wheat, which
appears fair haulage rate and leaves
profit for operation.
