Named President of Sterling
Mining a Milling Co.--Will
Make Final Payments on
Property

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Sterling Mining d
Milling company, a mining corpora
tion composed very largely of Pull
man and Ellensburg people, was held
in Ellensburg on the 18th of this

F. w. RAIDER, president of this
company, who has just returned
from this meeting, reports that the
old board of trustees, namely, Pro-
fessor f. j. Sievers of Pullman, the
Messrs, w. H. RAIDER, j. p. Clymer
and Geo. b. Cooke of Ellensburg and
F. W. RAIDER of Helena, Mont, were
re-nominated, but that Mr. RAIDER
withdrew his name in favor of J, j..
Hanlon of that place. These five
men were elected by a unanimous
vote and the board organized with
F. w. RAIDER, president; f. J. Sievers,
vice president. and j P. Clymer, sec
rotary and treasurer.
The stockholders were greatly
pleased over the progress and show
ing made at the mine during the last
four months and voted to make final
payment on the property within the
next few months, so as to be ready
to open up the mine with the coming
OF spring and not be in debt to any
one
Mr. RAIDER reports the mine and
mill in excellent condition and states
that everything is ready to start OPP
erations "a hours per day just as
soon as market and other conditions
are more settled
He further states: Our COM
pany now owns 240 acres OF land
and with the $50 acres we are buy
ing. a total of 420 acres, gives us an
acreage of the choicest mineral land
in the state of Montana and promises
to rival as a producer, the famous
Butte and Anaconda mines and the
Occur dAlenes of Idaho, The cut
VII Oh IhC ShlCdCU, milwaukee, az
st. Paul railroad connecting Great
Falls with Missoula and shortening
their main transcontinental line by
several hours time, Is now scheduled
to be the first piece of construction
work begun by this company and
that just as soon as labor and other
conditions warrant. This road will
pass within three and a half miles
of our property and gives us a very
easy water grade for a spur direct
to our plant"
Mr. RAIDER says that a trip of in
spction to the Sterling Mining G. Mill
ing company's property will convince
anyone, whether they are or are not
so-called mining men, that this is
real mine and that every stock
holder can reasonably expect good,
substantial returns for years to come.

ORGANIZATION
Tri.State Grain Growers Told to
Federate for Marketing OF
1921 Wheat Crop.

Fargo, n. D.. Jan. 21.-Organiza-
tion of farmers OF Minnesota. Kan
sas. Oklahoma and North and South
Dakota to market the 1921 wheat
crop was. urged by Aaron Sapiro Of
San Francisco before the Tri-
State Grain Growers association,
which is holding its annual con-
vention here.
Organize separately in each
state. or you will get into a lefsl
mess because OF different state
laws" he said. Then federate all
state organizations. A central Es-
sociation without capital stock and
with only wheat growers is the big
thing. Representatives OF the pub
lie should be on the board Of direc-
tors. The public should have full
knowledge o. your affairs. i.
Don't speculate. Sign up SO per
cent OF The acreage for at least FIVE
years without promise of a definite
price. I don't say that you will
get 81 for s1.50 wheat. but you will
get 81 50 if that is what it is worth.
and not S1.20 or whatever Mlnneap-
oils or Chicago exchanges want to
| pay.
Prove to the banks that you are
real merchants and are merchan.
dizing wheat and they will financ,
iyou. You need a dual system,
warehouse group and . marke
group"

RELEASE
mrs. HARRISON
American Newspaper Correspond.
ent Imprisoned in Moscow as
Spy Gains Freedom.

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. q. = Mrs.
Marguerite E. Harrison OF Balti-
more, newspaper correspondent,
imprisoned as a spy by the bolshe-
Wiki at Moscow, has been released
from prison, according to letter
received by DR.. Hugh H. Young
from the secretary of Lord Beaver
brook, owner of the Daily Express
of London, and made public today.
Her release does not mean neces-
sarily that she may Immediately
leave Russia, though this is the
hope of her friends. The informa-
ton was sent Lord Beaverbrook by
NJ. Krassin, former bolsheviki min
lister of trade to England. At the
request of DIR. Young to use his in
fuence to obtain Mrs. Harrison's
release, Lord Beaverbrook took the
matter up with M. Krassin.
Mrs. Harrison entered Russia
about eleven months ago. Soon
after reaching Moscow she was i'm
prisoned for while, but was re-
leased and for a time was reported
as being in high favor with the
bolsheviki. Her efforts to leave
the country, however. were frus-
trated and she was again arrested
on Oct. "a and imprisoned on a
charge of having tried to bribe her
way out of Russia. Later an Off
c;al declaration charged her with
being a spy for the American state
department. Although this was de-
MED by Washington. all efforts to
obtain her release had been un-
successful.
