An important Montana industry
is the care and maintenance Of
thousands Of railroad locomotives,
freight and passenger cars-the
flying shuttles that weave the end
less web Of transcontinental trans
portation along Montana's 1000
miles of steel.
The railroad shops Of the State
date from 1883, when the North
ern Pacific extended its lines into
and across Montana. Today this
road, the Great Northern and tho
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
have shops located in no less than
1e Montana cities and towns, their
investment totals $7,359,909, and
they spend within the State ap-
proximately the same amount an
nually. In these shops they employ
1886 men, who annually keep in
repair 1888 locomotives and 515,-
912 cars.
The Northern Pacific operates
shops at Glendive, Forsyth, Bill
hngs, Laurel, Livingston, Butte,
Helena, Missoula and Paradise.
Their investment in shops and
equipment amounts to $2,050,200.
They employ 2,026 hands, whose
annual payroll amounts to $2,4o1,-
$50. In the course Of a normal
year, 1851 locomotives and AGO.
912 cars are kept in condition
through their efforts and the use
Of materials valued at $1,S66,768.
At Havrs, the Great Northern

In addition to the Tempt shop
at Hsvre, the Great Northern op-
crates q twelve-pit shop at Great
Falls, which, with the car shops,
represents an investment of about

that of the Havre plant but has
been closed down for q year for
lack of business. The Great Falls
car shops, however, established in
1916, are employing at the present

Now the Wood and Stafford Company, like every other important insti-
tuition in Great Falls, is a part of this community, and every progressive
citizen should have a real interest in its welfare.
Therefore it is hoped that this statement will be inspected in a IN
structive spirit, rather than critical, and that the enterpriing citizen will
mainder of this year.
Here is what will surely happen:
Totals will be carried to a third of million, sales will be pushed up to
$175OOooo and net profits for the last nine months of 1922 to s9O,Oo0O0.

NEAR EAST BANQUET
SUCCESS.

The Corn and Wheat Banquet pro-
NOTED by committee of ladies, of
which Miss Virginia Lucas was chair
man and held in Rouss Hall, Tues
day night, January 81, for the bene-
fit of the Near East Relief was a
gratifying success. To the surprise
of many of the guests the entertain
ment was more than an intellectual
feast. A substantial repast was the
one number on the program not an
ticipated by many who aided the
cause out of the goodness of their
hearts, for charity's sake.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. DR.. Sydnor. In the
absence of the Hon. R. Gray Will
liams, of Winchester, who was
scheduled to deliver the principal
address, former Senator William
Campbell gave an interesting talk.
Music, instrumental, vocal solos and
duets, comprised the greater part of
the remainder of an inspiring pro-
gram.
Receipts will net nearly $3.50,
which will be used in the purchase of
a carload of grain for the relief of
famine victims in the Near East.
On the committee with Miss Lucas
were Mrs. W. H. Best, Mrs. j. B.
Brazier, Mrs. Forrest A. Brown,
Miss Catherine Baylor, Mrs. T. C.
Bowling, Mrs. Arthur Davenport,
Miss Laura Campbell, MRS. P. P.

rison, and Mrs. Theodore A. Brown.
