Extract From Record
1.-THE boards activities and parti-
cipation in the investigation of the
general level of, freight rates in in
terstate commerce commission docket
No. 1928 were rewarded by a uni
form reduction of 10 per cent on
practically all classes of freight, eff
fective July 1, 1922. We are ex-
tremely gratified with the results.
We realize that the general public
does not understand freight rates,
but in order that any one may know
the result of this investigation, the
following comparison of advances
and reductions in freight rates in the
various groups are submitted, from
which it will be noted that Montana
has Jared admirably throughout the
entire transaction.
Southern and Mountain-Pacific
group, advanced September /, 1920,
Is per cent; reduced July 1, 1922, so
per cent of previous advance.
Inter-territorial group, advanced
33 1-3 per cent, reduced 40 per cent
of previous advance.
Western group. advanced 35 per
cent, reduced 38 IL per cent of pre-
vious advance.
Eastern group, advanced 40 per
cent, reduced 35 per cent of previous
advance.
Montana Reduction, so Per Cent
The Mountain-Pacific group in
cludes Montana, and it will be seen
that the advance in rates effective
/, 1920, in that group,
was the lowest of any of the groups
comprising the entire country, while
the reduction of July /, 1922, was
the greater in the Montana section
than in any other district
1t should be understood that the
reduction in Montana, which really
amounts to 10 per cent of the rates
in effect prior to July 1, 1922, applies
to all freight whether moving be-
tween points within the state or to
or from interstate destinations. The
saving thus accruing to the public can
only be Appropriated, but applying
this to the total freight revenues of
all carriers operating in Montana for
the calendar year 1921, the people
have been relieved of the payment
Of an annual sum for the transporta-
ion of freight of $5,460,614.63,
which figures are based exclusively
IN Montana earnings of the railroads.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
BITTER ROOT SEED PEA CROP
is A VALUABLE ONE

The Keeney company's holdings
we're established in 1918, though the
work of hand-packing was not be-
gun until three years ago.
Warehouse at Bozeman
A large warehouse is also main
tanned at Bozeman and there the crop
from the Gallatin and Ruby valleys
are sorted. Experimental planting is
done every year to select the best
varieties. This company plants 80
acres, known as trial ground, to test
out the different varieties of peas.
Each year the trial crop is shifted
to a different field to prevent volun-
teer growth and mixture of seed
The company expects to operate the
plant until late in the winter, as sort
ing for the market is being added
this year to the seed picking for
spring distribution.
Sorting is Begun
The work of sorting this years
crop of seed peas began at the West
ern Seed company's plant few days
ago. The crops from the $500 acres
contracted by the company are pour
ing into the big warehouse, about
$4,000 bushels being stored there last
week. Twenty cars are yet to come
in and the work of Manipulating the
peas will probably last until spring.
Eventually the plant will employ
IS women and eight men, and will
provide a pay roll of 500 per day
Tor Hamilton workers.
Not all the peas handled in the
Hamilton warehouse are grown in
he Bitter Root valley. Some are
shipped from Manhattan in the Gal
attn valley, and some from the vi
Unity of Helena. The company's
at Missoula is now prac-
ica1ly full.

Aid SnOWbOund
North Michigan Shut OFF
From Supplies by
SnODdriftS.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. March l.
Airplanes from Grand Rapids are being
used here today In an attempt to carry
relief to the surrounding districts, cut
OF from all communication by the huge
snowdrifts and which are believed to be
in danger OF serious food shortage.
At Sutton's Bay the reservation Indians
are eating their dogs. Settlers nearby
are subsisting on the flesh OF cattle
killed by the blizzard.
Traverse City faced q food shortage,
but a relief train forced its. way through
the drifts yesterday, fcs first train since
the storm. In communities nearby there
Is little chance Of RELIEF for days to
come. Fears are expressed especially
for communists near here reached only
by small railroads. In Leelanau and An
trim Counties many towns Will be cut
of from civilization for days. No word
has been heard from communities In
either Of these counties and today bust
ness men here were planning on sending
relief expeditions to the larger places.
Such an expedition would have to hike,
as It is impossible for either wagons or
sleighs to push through the drifts, some
of which are Ike boul6ers, SO solidly are
they frozen.
Last year these same districts were
isolated for a month and the privation
resulted in a number OF deaths.
