ABOUT MONTANA

j. w. Moore writes from Bowbells,
North Dakota, to Veteran Thos. Ady,
about conditions in that neighborhood,
as follows;
The crops look better than / ever
saw them in this country. We have
had plenty of rain since you left, had
one hot day, which turned the leaves
of the grain somewhat yellow. But
since that, we have had about inches
of rain. Mr.. Phelps said we had over
four inches, and it has rained about
another inch since his report came out.
Looks as if we would have more rain.
suppose you are having the time
of your life with your old friends.
Well you just have good time, as
you only live once. Take care of your
self. Give Jim and Aunt Mary and
all the folks our best regards. They
had a very successful day at the old
settlers meeting at Flaxton-a big
crowd. Outside of the crowd there
was nothing doing.
Business is about The same as when
you were here, but we expect to see
things move as the big crop comes
along. We feel very sure of crop
now. Of course we have the hoppers,
hail, and rust to fear, but if we are
favored with protection, we think we
have plenty of rain for a long time.
The rye is almost ready to harvest,
and never saw crop of rye so good
as this one. Weather is cool, and a
fellow can sleep at night.

 CASE IS DROPPED
High Grading Case Peters Out Court Instructs Jury in

Prosecution Of the alleged Thane high grading" cases came to an abrupt end this morning when on motion of counsel for H. c. Trimmer man, one of two men charged with the crime. Judge T. M. Reed in structed the jury to bring in yer dict of not guilty. Among the grounds recited in the motion was the failure to prove that the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company had lost any concentrates through theft and that if any theft had been com mtted the evidence presented by the government had failed to connect Zimmerman with it.

Question: would value your opinion on
Chicago X North Western Railroad. Why
is stock on this selling so low Also.
would YOU advise exchanging stock IN New
York Central for Chicago 4 North Nest
ern stock; also Pennsylvania stock for
southern Pacific stock? Arc Chicago q
North Western and Southern Pacific roads
likely 70 have better earnings than New
York Central and Pennsylvania at present 2
II l.. G.
Answer-Chicago & North Western
has been considered one of the strong
est railroads of the West The present.
price of the stock reflects the general
uncertainty surrounding the railroad
business. The New York Central and
Chicago & North Western are allied
both through common financial in
terest and through traffic arrange
ments. Until you can see more clearly
the trend of railroad conditions we
would not recommend shifting from
one to the other. We think that a
shift from Pennsylvania Railroad to
Southern Pacific might be advan-
tageous. The Pennsylvania Railroad
is faced with many difficult operating
conditions that would still be impor-
tant even if great increase in bust
ness should take place, while increa scd
business would mean probably increase
net earnings to the Southern Pacific.
