The Missouri river parallels the
Great Northern for many miles in
northeastern Montana and it will be
simple matter to find suitable un-
leading point.
The movement is on also in Gar
field county. At recent meeting of
the Jordan Chamber of Commerce
the matter was discussed and Secre-
tarv Macdonald was instructed to
write the commercial bodies at Wolf
Point, Wilhston and Bismarck regard

venient docks and elevators are avail
able at the latter points, it was stated.

history Of the county to market this

Whcr spoken to regarding the plan,
members Of the Valley county board
of commissioners said that they were
in favor Of assisting any way posi-

the use Of the county boat would help,
arrangements could be made with
them to that end.

Farmers are investigating the feas-
ibility of using the Missouri river as
a means of transportation to the grain
markets this year.
Valley county grain growers whose
farms lie within Is or 20 miles of the
Missouri river, are now busily can
vassing the matter, and there is no
doubt that some definite action will
be taken soon, with regard to picking
out landing places and chartering
boats and barges necessary to trans
port this years immense grain crop
to the terminals.
The action is the result of the very
pronounced opinion that the present
railroad freight rates are prohibitive
and the movement has gained impetus
since the recent statement of State
Commissioner of Agriculture Davis

EDITORS MEET
Whitefish Annual One of Best In
HistOry-Part of What Was
Done. ~

T. J. Hooking returned from an out
ing with the editors at Whitefish.
Among the things of general inter-
says that just before breaking up the
editors endorsed the strike of the
university students against attending
the lectures of Prof. Fischer, who has
been accused by the American Legion
of unpatriotism during the war with
Germany. He adds that the meeting
was good one viewed either as
business matter or an enjoyable out
ing.
The final day had as it's best fea-

but some of the items of business were
conspicuous features, too. They in

Tribune, being made president.
Two Places Want Convention.
The place for the next state meet
ing was left to the choice of the eX-
ecutive committee, with Lewistown and
White Sulphur Springs as the only
contenders.
The convention got away for the
park tour with very happy express
sion of Whitefish hospitality and an
idea that the best was. to come on the
afternoon outing among the primeval
sublimity of lakes and peaks in the
great wilderness playground. Before
leaving, the convention passed reso-
lutions endeavoring to express the

PRETTY GAME
LAST SUNDAY
Havre Downs Glasgow With Count
of Three to One-lngers0ll Throws
Phenomenal Ball.

Most of the elete of the local con-
tingent of fans, attended the base ball
demonstration at the Glasgow expert
ment station, last Sunday. The game
was one of the best of the season and
resulted in the elimination of the home
team by a simple process of arithme-
tic-the official handwriting on the
wall showing three to one in favor of
Havre.
1t was noted early in the game that
the season and horoscope, an every
thing, was all Jake for Ingersoll, the
Havre twirler, who had them break
ing Just right. Just what his system
is, the home aggregation have not yet
found out, but Mccormack caught him
kissing the ball and others heard him
whispering to it, anyway he had it
trained to promptly dodge the many
swipes aimed by Glasgow's hardy vet
erans of many a victorious field.
In spite of Ingersoll's wizardry
Bretzke touched up the old pill, for a
three bagger, and others trifled with
the bases, only to go down with the
striker-all dying together. Bretzke
returned to the fireside with well
earned run, the only one Glasgow
made. Baechler held down the 1st
pillow, in his usual gentlemanly anc
efficient way, and many visitors
walked home from 1st. sadder and &
wiser men. Hurry simply ate ul
the foul flies, and Bardell while
not seeming to work hard, threw {
very pretty game. Ling touched W
the olive for home run, but this is
liable to happen anywhere, even il
the big leagues, and no one felt sorr!
about it, as was shown by the liberia
applause from the fans.
As whole the game was excellent
had Ingersoll allowed a few more hit
it would have been an even thing. i

PRESIDENT ASKS
PROMPT ACTION
Recommends Increased Powers to War
Finance Corporation to Help
Farmers and Railroads..

Wash, July 26.-President Hard
ing sent a message to congress today
asking legislation authorizing the
War Finance corporation to handle
funding of railroad Indebtedness and
increased credit for financing agri-
cultural exports.
That there were moral" obliga-
tions upon the government to aid in
both respects was stated by the presi-
dent who commended the war finance
corporation as an agency of great
value in restoring economic condi-
tions. Prompt action was requested,
but the president did not ask that both
features be contained in one bill.
Republican leaders, therefore adopt
ed. the plan of dealing with the rail-
road and agricultural questions in sep
arate measures. Senator Kellogg,
Republican, Minnesota, introduced a
bill drafted by Secretary Hoover of
the department of commerce and
Chairman Meyer of the war finance
corporation extending the powers of
the war finance corporation to agri-
cultural export financing. 1t also
would increase the corporations re-
volving credit fund from five hundred
million to one billion dollars.

JAPAN AGREES
TO CONFERENCE

ters Affecting Presidents Dis
armament Program.

Toxic, July 26.-The japanese cab
met has decided to accept participa-
tion in the proposed conference on Far
Eastern problems, The Associated
Press was informed today.
1t is understood the japanese ans
wer will be forwarded to Washington
in the near future.
According to Japan's understand
ing of the American viewpoint, as Civ
en- out here, Americas idea is to make
the basis of the conference a broad
discussion of policies and principles,
although each participant would have
the right to introduce specific subjects
if they We're germane to the principle
under discussion and IT the powers
generally in the Pacific were affected
The idea is said to prevail that ques-
tions affecting two powers should be
left, wherever possible, to the powers
concerned.

SLOGAN IS SEE
AMERICA FIRST
The Glacier Park Trail Association
Makes Its Bow With The En-
blematic Goat.

"See America first" is the slogan
of a new Glacier Trail association,
which makes the announcement of its
organization on stationery embelished
with the Rocky Mountain goat. The
new association did not get the Great
Northern's goat, but has acquired a
working interest in it, and uses the
emblem with the consent of the Great
Northern, which fully endorses the
trail associations plans.
Letters to H. B. Tyson, secretary
of the Montana division of the T. R..
highway, and circulars to the Cham
ber of Commerce, contain added in
formation regarding the new associa-
ton. 1t starts at St. Louis, goes to
Minneapolis through Missouri and
Iowa, from Minneapolis to Grand
Forks, over the southern Minnesota
route, and from Grand Forks to Gla-
cier park over the Roosevelt highway.
Claims for the route say, mo des-
erts, no dry hot stretches, hundreds
of lakes and streams alive with fish,
fine camping places; the trail that is
getting the most improvement" The
trail map shows Glasgow in large
tpye.
This association will probably re-
ceive the enthusiastic support of the
Roosevelt association, and will un-
doubtedly prove great force in pro-
curing travel over the older trail, to
Glacier park. The fact that this route
has been selected, shows, once more,
that the northern route to the parks
will be one of the most favored in
the near future, as every reason, when
the reason is understood, is in its
favor.
Bert B. Fuqua, secretary of the
Glacier association in his letter to Mr.
Tyson, says: at has been shown that
a trail having a real live association
is of more Importance towards fore
ing travel over road than the mark
ing of the road. Travel over mark
ed road will increase from 800 to 4O(
percent, when the publicity is looked
after, it increases from 300 to 5000
This organization is using its influ
ence in every way possible to create
travel over its trail and for the de
velopment of better roads and com
munities."
The Glacier Trail association car
count upon the united support OF
Glasgow business men and their or
ganizations.

FARMERS AGREE
ON WAGE SCALE
Threshing Prices Are Also Decided At
Threshermen's and Farmers
Meeting, Saturday.

More than 200 men, threshermen,
farmers and business men directly in
terested in the harvest, met at the
court house last Saturday afternoon,
in response to the call of the officers
of the county threshermens' associa-
ton, for the annual meeting. There
was much interesting discussion, and
prices for threshing, and a wage scale
was agreed on for the season.
That Valley county is the favored
spot this year, was the note which
predominated the entire meeting.
That there had been little hail; that
the loss from grasshoppers was neg
ligible; and that crops were all good
and would thresh out as high as 40
bushels of wheat to the acre, were
the basic facts of all of the discus
sion. This was conducted after the
| round table fashion, and at times was
warm, but at all times good temper
ed, the farmers and threshers finally
agreed in all essential details.
The meeting was opened by County
Agent Stebbins who talked for a few
minutes, outlining the objects of the
meeting saying that it was important
that prices be agreed upon, so that
the much needed farm help could be
secured at once. He informed the
meeting that the supply was ample,
and that other counties had suffered
entire crop failures and he could
through the farm bureau, get the
farmers from these districts, to come
in here and help with the harvest:
also he had been in communication
with the Anaconda copper company
officials. who were anxious to place
their regular employees at farm work
while their plants were shut down
Any number of these men could be
had at once. He warned the farmers
from having anything to do with the
l. w. WIS. who were going through
the country, saying that this class
could not be depended upon, and con-
cluded by taking a census of the num-
ber Of men wanted in the county.
Officers for the ensuing year were
then elected, as follows:
j. T. Rowe, President.
F. L. Belger, Vice President.
Nelson Cotton, Secretary.
At the suggestion of the president
the meeting then proceeded to the con
sideration of the rate for threshing
and threshermen and farmers discuss
ed the merits of different prices sug

will the effect be on Canada?
Canada today is in much the same
position that the United States was in
at the beginning of the nineteenth
century It's population at the COM
mencement of the twentieth century
was much the same as that of the
United States at the beginning of the
nineteenth. Its great farm areas need
settlers to grow food to feed its grow
