New York, Nov. 29.-Today's trading
on stock exchange was unusually active
and broad, as evidenced by sails of $780,
600 shares and turnover of about
S26,5OO,0OO par value In bonds. The lat
ter exceeded any total in several months.
Bonds were the center Of attraction,
especially government issues. No less
than seven liberty series mounted to
highest records for year or two.
Railway shares again dominated the
stock list and oils, coppers, motors,
specialties and tobacco kept more or
less even pace.
and equipments and heaviness Of mis-
cellaneous issues contributed to the
markets uncertain trend.
Sears Roebuck common and preferred
again were under constant depression
and several agricultural issues reacted.
Aside from rails which held firm, the
general list eased under liquidation
in the final hour, call moneys rise to
51a per cent causing selling for both
accounts.
Dealings in foreign exchange were
light. The demand for sterling, francs
and Scandinavian remittances were
nominal, Notwithstanding the approach
of December, which usually brings
heavy purchases of food and cotton bills
or leading European centers.
In the rise Of liberty bonds, bat South
American issues, especially Chile 8s and
Brazil IS were strong.
Many rails and industrials including
United States Steel IS strengthened
perceptibly and several new underwrit-
ings for moderate accounts were over
subscribed.

of the United States more than it's

President Alessandri in an address at
an official reception to William M.
Collier, of Auburn, n. j., the new
American ambassador.
The president said Chile was CRATE
full for the assistance North Americans
had given in it's economic development
He believed Chile had the right to be
considered as an interesting factor in
the commercial activities of the future
owing to it's 5000 miles of coast line

He described the Monroe doctrine
as concrete expression of the moral
and economic solidarity of the new
continent and the enthusiastic express
sion of our faith and our sincere inter
national friendship"
Ambassador Collier, in his response,
referred to the fact that the United
States had invested in Chile $500, ,O0O,-
600 more than in all the other South
American republics combined. He ex-
pressed the hope that there would be

The upward trend of silver has also

As an indication Of the in-effects Of

RYEGATE IRRIGATION
WILL WATER 10000
ACRES SASM|N|MUM
Papers All Ready to File With
Golden Valley Court by
Projectors.
Snecial to The Tribune.

Ryegate, Nov. 29.-Those In charge
of the south bench irrigation project
have all of the papers and details in
shape SO that they will be flied with the
judge of the district court in the near
future.
The gross amount of acreage is
around 10000 acres and this will be put
under the elimination process so that
the estimate Of the total acreage COM
ing within the proposed district or un-
der the ditch will be close to 10000.
So far little or no opposition has ap-
peared and none is looked for This
project will be in court for thirty days
after filing so that protests, If any, can
be heard. If none are Forthcoming, the
committee will proceed with the forma-
tion of the district prior to the final
survey.
1t is understood that the Rothiemay
Bench project, where it was contem-
plated in taking the flood waters of the
Swimming Woman, may be changed to
extend the government ditch now be-
ing constructed north of Harlowton and
get the water for those lands in that
way. A much larger supply Of water
could be had, it is said.

full purchase price therof with in
terest.
There can be no question but what
McTague for all brick furnished prior
the purchase in 1911 paid Conley u
to that time, and that brick made with
the prison brick making machinery
after 1909 certainly must have been
the property of the state. In any
event if Conley & McTague had any
claim they should have presented 1t IN
the lawful manner.
The records of the state prison show
the following to be in fact:-On No
vember 80, 1920, a debit balance
against the brick yard account was
charged off to maintenance. The
prison report for this year; however,
hand at $16 per thousand. ($13 per
thousand appears to be the highest
price ever obtained for prison brick.)
November 80, 1919 (Which was the
end of the administration Of John
Berne) a debtor balance against the
brick yard, S1O,533.4 40.
November 80, 1918, debtor balance
against the brick yard, $1O.979.74.
November 80, 1917, debtor balance
against the brick yard, $8.324.SO.
Reasons for Deficit.
This, however, is not fair state
ment of the brick yard business. The
above statement as to brick taken by
Conley g. McTague is one reason for
the deficit. Another reason is that no
account was kept of the brick fur
nished to the prison for buildings built
on prison property. Your committee
has had this estimate made and there
should be added to the credit of the
brick yard for brick furnished to the
prison 1,10S, 400 brick in prison build
ngs. with a possible further addition
of 717.71S for cell building No. l,
which shows the date of 1912. 1t was
in this year that the prison bought the
brick yard from Berne. The brick yard
account should be further credited with
the difference between the market
price of brick and the price at which
institutions.
At Irving lake, the property Of the
former warden, is brick bungalow

built entirely of prison brick and tile.

Of BUFFALO RAPIDS
HYDRO POWER PLAN
Frank Scotten, Montana Com
pany Engineer, Suggests
Greater Development.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Miles City, Nov. 29.-As result
Of the visit of Frank Scotten, engineer
for the Montana Power company, who
looked over the Buffalo Rapids power
project, the fact was developed that
the project will produce in the neigh
borh0od Of 80 per cent more power
than was at first calculated
The average horsepower that has
been calculated was $4,000, or 27,OOO
as a maximum during the June rise,
and 1900 as minimum, at the
lowest stage known for the river
By making certain changes in the
plans, as recommended by Mr.. Scotten
after his visit to the lower site, it is
believed that an average of 22,5OO
horsepower can be developed, which
would raise the project to one Of con-
siderable Importance in the matter of
power developm ent, though 5000
horsepower is an amount not to be
allowed to go to waste.
In these days of hydro-electric dew
elopment wherever 10000 horsepower
can be developed, the opportunity is
eagerly grasped in any part of the
country in which it may be found, so
that the people Of Miles City and the
communities and land owners along
and in the territory tributary to the
Yellowstone river may consider them
selves extremely fortunate and under
deep debt to Providence.

Farmers Harvest
Fruit When Apple
Train Is Wrecked

Until a Great Northern freight
train slipped off the rails and spill.
ed nine cars of high grade apples
from a famous western valley In q
ditch near Fowler, the folks there
abouts didn't know there were so
many apples in the world.
There were big red shiny apples
and apples bruised and brown. But
they were all apples to the Fowler
folk and they presented sight un-
heralded in that territory. The
kids asked no questions. They
grabbed all the apples In sight.
And nobody cared. The railroad
officials enjoyed watching the
youngsters-and the old folks, too
-eat of fruit that by very force Of
circumstances Is seldom permitted
them In unseiflsh quantities.
Nine thousand boxes, damaged
beyond shipping state, were given
BY the railroad to the farmers in
the community. And the farmers
have expressed their gratitude In no
uncertain terms. There are apples
in the cellar of every farm home
within 10 miles of the wreck.
