 z All of which is regarded by the trade In general as a tribute to the foresightedness of R. H. Collins and his associates, who, when they took over the control of the Peerless property in October of last year, all most immediately began to plan and build their factory resources with definite object of taking care of exactly the same situation which has come to pass this spring.
 It is true. MT. Collins says, that for many weeks the sales have been slightly ahead of production and distributors have been gathering at the factory in groups almost daily in an effort to get more cars. but, as he points out, that is simply an inevitable outcome of an un- usually healthy manufacturing con- dition.
 we are gradually expanding our factory facilities just as fast as 1t is
 
 do so in order to keep pace with the demand. We shall not permit our selves to be oversold to such point that 1t works hardship and serious disappointment to any great number of those who have placed orders for our products.
 With the demand exceeding even our most optimistic expectations. it is natural that we cant always fur rish immediate delivery, but what we can and will do Is this--we can tell every buyer approximately when his Peerless will be available and deal with him just as fairly in that respect as in the character and quality of the car we produce.
 Furthermore. we do not believe in speeding up production simply to meet abnormal demand. We are constantly increasing production as requirements exist. but we never speed it up, because that would i'm peril the quality of our workman ship, which is the best asset we have

Robert Rowell. Great Falls hay and
grain dealer, who was convicted last
December in district court on a charge
Of selling intoxicating liquors and
sentenced to 80 days in the county
iail and fined 5000, was not released
from custody Tuesday despite the fact
that it was the condition of the COM
mutation granted by Governor Joseph
M. Dixon several weeks ago that he
should be liberated on January II.
Sheriff Bsb Gordon said Tuesday
night that he would hold Rowell until
he had received official notice that
the board of pardons had confirmed
Governor Dixon's action. The COM
mutation was to have been brought
before the board Tuesday for formal
action. The governor committed the
sentence to one month in Jail and
suspended payment of the. fine for a
period of one year after hearing the
petition Of Mrs. RoweN, supported by
letters from several Great Falls people.
Rowell was found guilty December
6 by a jury that left the punishment
to be fixed by the court. Judge j. b.
Leslie pronounced the sentence sew
eral days later.

WATER USERS MAY OPERATE
fort SHAW PROJECT Unit
VIII Meet Saturday to Discuss Proposed Con
tract With Interior Department.; Believe
Big Saving Would Be Realized.

of affording relief at every point prac-
ticable. y Director Davis said in a
letter to Mr.. Sanford. However, we
would call your attention to the ex-
tremely depleted condition Of the rec
lamation fund. After giving your re-
quest the most careful consideration
we have reached the conclusion that
it would be inadvisable to recommend
to the secretary of the interior thar
you be given relief in the form IN
which you request it.
1--WE must look, therefore, into other
avenues Of possible relief. 1t appears
that on October Z. 1920, the depart,
ment approved a draft of a proposed
contract between the United States and
the Fort Shaw irrigation district de-
signed to furnish additional irrigation
and drainage works for the district
lands. Later, in furtherance OF re-
quest from your district on November
Is, 1920, the department approved
draft Of contract for the district, IN
which provision was made for the
turning over to the district the opera
ton and maintenance of the irrigation
works of the district.
Believe Saving Possible
'erhe last reports received by this
office were InaC SuIIlCltHI Hui!iOS
Of signatures had not been obtained
1t is believed that the landowners nigh,
make considerable saving in cost !,
the operation and maintenance Tea
ture were turned over to the. district.
In table included in the letter
showing the maintenance and opera
ton costs of the unit for 1920 and the
estimated cost for 1921, it is shown
that the general overhead charges OF
the district would amount to but
little more than $3.50 year if thu
contract wa smade. The general over,
head charges are fixed at one-tenth o.
one per cent of the net constructor
cost. In the event the district takes
over the operation and maintenance
and thus receives the reclamation funt
of further expense, the letter reads
recommendation would be made II
the secretary of the department Q
interior that the unpaid charges ant
1922 charges be spread over a perloe
|.of 10 years.
Announcements of the Satnrda!
meeting were mailed to all OF tn
water users Tuesday.

GOES
TO SPOKANE, IS
REPORTED HERE
Local General Agent for Great
Northern Due for Nice
Promotion.

Promotion Of J. F. Pewters, gen
eraI traffic agent for the Great
Northern at Great Falls, to the office
of general traffic agent at Spokane is
commented upon in Spokane news
papers as being a Forthcoming event
in railroad circles. The announcement
appeared at Spokane in an interview
BY w. p. Kenney, vice president OF
the road in charge of traffic.
Mr.. Pewters said Tuesday that ne
had heard rumors on the reported
change, but that he had received no
official information. He would succeed
at the Spokane office 3. 5. Merritt,
who has been advanced to the posi-
ton of assistant general freight agent
with offices at Seattle. The Spokane
general agency is one of the more
important positions in the roads west
ern traffic department.
Mr.. Pewters started with the Great
Northern as office boy in 1897 and
during the 10 years he was with the
road before coming to Great Falls he
held different positions at the general
offices. He came to Great Falls in
1916 from Minneapolis as local freight
agent and in March. 1920. was adj
vanced to the position of general
traffic agent, succeeding D. 6. Black,
who is now general agent at Tacoma.

A contract with the department Of
the interior whereby the water users
on the Fort Shaw irrigation district
would take over the operation and
maintenance of their unit of the prof.
ect, now under the administration OF
the reclamation service, will be consid-
cred by the settlers at q general meet
ing at the Fort Shaw school house next
Saturday afternoon, it was announced
of the Sun River project. The subject
to come before this meeting is by far
the most important that has ever con-
fronted the residents of the irrigation
district, said Mr.. Sanford.
Recommendations that the proposed
contract be made came directly from
A. 7. Davis, director of the reclamation
service, stated Mr.. Sanford. The pro-
posal was made in answer to res0lu-
ton that was adopted by the Fort
Shaw landowners November IL, 1921,
in which it was declared that more
than so per cent of the residents were
unable to pay their operation and
maintenance charges March l of last
year, and that these and many, more
would be unable to met the charges
that became due March 1 of this year.
Inability to meet their expenses, as
set forth in the resolution, was due to
a general depreciation in the value OF
farm products. especially alfalfa, one
of the principal products of the Fort
Shaw unit.
Plan for DeIinquencies
The resolution proposed that the
commissioners of the district enter into
contract with the secretary of the
interior whereby the delinquent opera
ton and maintenance charges and those
to become due on March /. 1922, be
made payable as supplemental con-
struction in annual installments after
the primary construction charges have
been made. Owing to the impoverished
condition Of the reclamation service
unable to agree to such contract and
a counter proposal was suggested for
the consideration Of the landowners.
"The present financial condition OF
the water users and the poor market
for farm products are fully appreciat-
ed, both by the department Of interior
and the reclamation service, and we
are in sympathy and strongly DESTROYS

citation. is endorsed and ordered exc
cuted by the city administration.
Pay With Checks
The taxpayers committee, compos-
ed Of B. J. Boorman, l.. Il. Galloway
and Andrew Thisted, contended that
the majority of water patrons PAID
their accounts by check and therefore
the removal of the office to the jail
building would cause but little lncon-
yenience. Those who pay their bills
direct at the office should not object
70 walk to the Jail building as the
exercise would be beneficial, accord
ing to the argument OF the committee;
The city council committee was told
that it was an unnecessary expense TO
employ more than one jailer. ;
Mayor r. NJ. Armour, who returned
to Great Falls Tuesday evening after
a visit to his home in Nebraska, was
present at the conference. and at the
conclusion of the meeting said that the
city council and the ways and means
committee had already given consid-
cradle attention to the proposed eco
nomy measures, especially the one
calling for the removal of the city
| water office.
| Plan Tried Once
| After q discussion of this plan, Mr..
Armour said, the city council, remem-
boring the demands that were made
! for the removal of the water office to
the business district when it was To-
Gated in the courthouse, came to the
| conclusion that the water patrons
would not be agreeable to the change
proposed by the taxpayers. However,
| he said the matter would be brought
before the council again for reconsid-
Grafton.
/ Removal of the water office to a
| city owned building would save the city
$11O in rent. Eliminating two jailers
would be a saving of $500.
