Thirty persons were killed on rail
roads In Montana during the year
ending September 80, according to
advance figures from the annual re-
port of the state railroad commission
made public few days ago. Injur-
les were suffered by 353.
No railroad passenger lost his life
In this state during the year. Only
70 passengers were injured. EN-
ployes of the roads, naturally, led in
the casualty records with II killed
and 293 injured. OF persons carried
by the railroads under contract or
agreement. one was killed and four
injured. This classification takes in
mail clerks. livestock caretakers and
persons in charge of refrigerator or
other cars. Seven trespassers were
killed and 13 injured. Ten others.
not trespassers, were killed and 43
injured.
The Gilmore & Pittsburgh, the 500
line and the Montana, Wyoming and
Southern got by the whole year with
out an accident. All are small sys-
TENS, except the 500, which, however.
has only a small part of its lines
here. There were no fatalities on the
Billings and Central Montana. the
Burlington, the Montana Southern.
the Montana Western, the Oregon
Short Line, White Sulphur Springs
and Yellowstone park roads.
OF the IL employees who lost their
lives, the Great Northern had six, the
Northern Pacific four and the Mil
waukee two. The Northern Pacific
killed three trespassers, the Great
Northern two, the Milwaukee one.
and the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific
one. OF persons not trespassers or
employees, the Northern Pacific killed
five. the Great Northern four. the
Milwaukee one and the Burline ton
one.

Montana's total railroad mileage ia
1883. That is a gain of but "a
miles over the total of the recedinr
year. Main lines in the state are
5,O33.33 miles, branch lines and sid.
lngs are 1,668.O6 miles, main line
double track is 23O.38 miles and
lines operated under lease are 264.83
miles.
Leadership in railroad mileage Is
almost a tie, but the Great Northern
noses out the Northern Pacific with
2.398.25 miles to its rivals 2.384.94r
The Milwaukee is third with 1,567.601

The department OF commerce.
through the bureau Of the census, an
nounces the following figures from
the 1920 census of agriculture for
the United States.
The 1.981.514 pure-bred cattle in
the United States on January I. 1920,
according to the fourteenth census,
included 1,064,912 cattle of beef
breeds and s16.602 cattle Of dairy
breeds.
The pure-bred beef cattle were
distributed among the several breeds
as follows: Aberdeen Angus, 1885,
524; Devon, 1,194: Galloway. $3.50:
Hereford, 405.5S0; Polled Durham,
1875; Shorthorn. 416.9e5: all other
beef breeds, including animals report
ed as purebred with breed not speci-
fled, 1894.
The 916,602 purebred dairy cattle
were distributed according to breed
as follows:
Of the 231,S34 Jerseys reported,
23.842 were in Ohio. 1918 in Texas,
13,411 in New York, 1895 in Penn
sylvania, and 1O,7OS in Missouri. This
breed is more widely distributed, per-
haps, than any Of the other breeds.
In many of the southern states. in
particular. the number of Jerseys en-
ceeds the number reported for any
other one breed of cattle.
The reports of previous censuses
did not show the numbers of pure
bred live stock. so it is not possible
to make comparisons with earlier
years. It is interesting to note. how
ever. that the whole number of pure
bred cattle reported for 1920 (1.sS1,-
514 constituted per cent of the
66,625.559 cattle on farms in the
United States on the census date.

animals with breed not specified, 49,

Among the beef breeds the most
important were the Shorthorns and

Potato shipments from Montana
this fall had reached $50 carloads
on October %, according to figures
made public few days ago BY F. w.
Beier, Jr., federal crop statistician
for Montana. Last year only 272
carloads of potatoes had been ship
ped on that date.
Total shipments last year were
915 carloads, BEERS records show
He predicts that there will be 1,4OO
carloads in the 1921 movement from
this state.
Potato prices are reported to be in
a temporary decline. Growers at
Idaho Falls, one of the leading west
ern shipping points, were getting
Sis to $1.25 for Melted Gem and
81 for the Idaho Rural, a late white
potato. Idaho Falls enjoys a slight
advantage over Montana in the mat
ter of freight rates to the principal
markets, so the Montana price would
be little lower. Reports have been
received in Helena, however, of the
sale of two carloads of potatoes at
Hamilton this week at $1.35.
In Chicago a few days ago the
Round White potato was bringing
$3.50 and $40. Early Ohio pota-
toes from the Red River region of
Minnesota and North Dakota were
selling for $3.50 to $3.50.
The Kansas City price was $3.50
to $40 on Red River Ohios, and
field run spuds were selling at
around $1.25.
Los Angeles offered the strongest
potato market. Quotations there re-
Gently were $2.25 to $3.50 on Idaho
Melted Gems and 81 for the Idaho
Rurals. Freight rates to Los An
geles are far higher than to the Kan
sas City and Chicago markets.

find THREE GRAIN
SCALES CROOKED
OUT OF TOTAL OF 500 ELEVA.
TORS INSPECTED THREE
SHORT WEIGHERS
Balance Ball Made to Slide and the
Farmers Loads Weighed Light
While Wagons Weighed Heavy;
Farmers Lost Value Of Bushel Of
Grain With Each Load.

"Thimble-rigging'' Of grain scales
in Montana's 500 elevators is very
rare. but three decidedly clever in
stances Of tampering to trim the far
mer were discovered by George H.
Berry, chief Of the scale testing divi-
sion of the state department OF agri-
culture.
The balance ball on scale beams
was the point of attack by the trick
sters, Berry said. This is screwed
fast to the bar ordinarily, but In the
three instances discovered the scale
operator had taken the ball off and
made the screw socket loose. This
permitted working the ball three
fourths of an inch each way.
Lost Bushel ON Each Load
When the farmer would come in
with load Of grain, the operator
would move the ball forward. making
the load weigh light. Then when
the grain had been unloaded, the
operator would move the ball the
other way. making the wagon weigh
heavy. The farmer lost about bu-
shell of grain on each load through
this maneuver.
I'VE have had to reject a number
of scales.'' Berry said. 1.-THE princi-
pal fault Is in construction, although
we have run across some ingenious
'baling wire repairs that were more
inaccurate than anything else. Scales
sent out by the factories ordinarily
are perfect, but persons installing
them have often had trouble in erect
ing them. With the correction of
these construction faults, we will
have in Montana a pretty good grain
weighing service"
Inspected by Three Districts
For the grain scale inspection
drive, the state was divided into three
districts. Most of the work has been
completed, and within a month every
elevator will have been visited, Mr..
Berry said. He has finished up the
central Montana region and now has
the territory west of the Rocky noun
tains. His headquarters are at Hell
ena.

The main showing is about quarter of a mile west from the International boundary on the American side. This is a quartz ledge exposed for over one thousand feet. averaging about ten feet in width.
 "A road or trail should be extend ed by the government from the main road at either the five or six mile the Fish Creek district to ship their medium grade ores, instead of pack ing as at present.
 'The Riverside group, commonly known as mile seven. is situated on the left limit of Salmon river valley, seven miles from Hyder. This prop erty consists of three claims. A tunnel has been run one hundred feet lower than the old tunnel, and there the same ore chute has been found at depth that open cuts or the surface have disclosed.
