State land board
PLANS new LEASE

Helena, oMnt., Sept. 28.-Much in
terest is being shown in the new oil
and gas lease which has been under
consideration by the state land board.
One Of the principal features of the
new lease, if adopted by the board, is
that it raises the leasing rates on
half sections from $1OO to 5000 a
year. But the lease also gives an
option of renewing the lease for five
years upon the same terms and roy
alties. The only condition is that not
less than $4,000 must have been
spent on development and bond OF
$4,000 be furnished.
The lease calls for the installation
of standard drilling outfit and equip
ment in one year from the signing Of
the document and the beginning of
drilling within this period. 1t is also

lower wheat RATE
TO BE WORKED OUT
Congress Will Be Urged to Take
Some Action to Aid in Lowering
Cost of Delivery

Helena, Sent 28.-Just so long as
the United States raises more wheat
than it requires for it's own consump-
ton, the price of the entire crop is
fixed by the price paid for the export
surplus, and this price is fixed by the
world market at Liverpool. So the
price of wheat to Montana farmers
is the price at Liverpool less the cost
Of transporting it there.
These are the primary reasons, c.
P. Craig of the Great Lakes st. Law
renee Tidewater association told Mon
tanans at meetings held recently in
various part of the state, why it be-
hooves the citizens of this state ener-
getically to get behind the movement
looking to the building of locks be-
tween the Great Lakes and the st.
Lawrence river so as to permit ocean
going vessels to fill their holds with
grain at Duluth an other Great Lakes
ports instead of at Atlantic coast
ports.
At present out of every bushel OF
grain raised by a Montana farmer
is taken the cost Of transporting thai
bushel by rail from Montana to New
York, and from II to 13 cents addi
ton, the ocean rate for transporting
it from New York to Liverpool. Tn,
rate from Monteal to Livepol is l.
cents.
Mr.. Craig explained that one-hal
the cost of moving the wheat to Liver
pool is entailed in the 800 miles be
tween Buffalo and New York. If th
locks are built the grain can be moN
ed from Buffalo to Montreal for on
i cent a bushel.

TO GRAIN HEARING

Helena, Sept. 28.-Complaints Of
farm organizations of Montana that
the present charge of four cents a
bushel on stored wheat is exhorbitant
were heard Monday at a public hear
ing before the division Of grain stan
dards and marketing of the depart
ment of agriculture.
The senate chamer of the the capi-
tol was filled with representatives of
the farm organizations and elevator
men Of the state, who presented the
sides of the issue to Chester G. Dav-
is, commissioner of agriculture.
The elevator men declared that they
could not operate for less than four
cents a bushel and that any decrease
in the charge would be cOnfiscatory
The farmers are petitioning the de-
partment of agriculture to reduce the
rate to two cents a bushel.
