1t was reported at the Great Falls
offices of the road that $50 men were
added to the Havre shops Friday, and
figures available indicate hat the
forces there and Mt Wolf Point. Cut
Bank and Whitefish are about 80 per
cent of normal. Disturbances have
not been reported at any point on the
main line since the early days of the
strike.
Wheat is beginning TO appear in

Several cars have been loaded out at
Swift, two more will be loaded there
today and one car at Fife. The first

Saw Mill Operator Petitions
for Road improvements
for Hauling.

Plans for the erection Of a o50-ton
silver concentration. a school building.
homes for miners and other construC-
ton will make a substantial start to-
wards the founding Of a new town arc
well under way with the proprietors of
the Silver Dyke Mining company at a
point on Carpenter creek. three miles
southeast of Neihart. according to in
formation given the board of county
commissioners by Charles F. McGib-
bon of Neihart. McGibbon filed with
the BOARD a request for road improve
ments to facilitate hauling between the
main Neihart highway and the site of
the new concentration.
MctIlbbon is the operator Of a saw
mill and has contracted to get out
lumber for the company. Improve
mentS or the Carpenter creek road
are badly needed in launching the com
pany's work, he said, and the commits
sloners will make an inspection of tho
route with an idea to deciding whether
the county will pay all or a portion
of the expense. Much heavy machin-
cry and a large amour of supplies
and equipment will be transported over
the road in the nea future.
The commissioners have been given
to understand that operations on a
scale will be launched az the
creek camp as soon as need
ed equipment is in place. The Silver
Dyke company is one Of the older OBJ
Grating concerns in the Neihart district
and the opening of the camp is a fore
of a material increase in the
output of ore, it is understood.

G. N. Officials Say Strike Outlook Brightest of
Any Time Since Shopmen Went Out;
Wear Says Grain to Move.

With Great Northern officials hold
ing that the strike situation on that
system Friday morning was the best
it had been since the walkout of shop
employees on July 1, the assertion was
made by Superintendent Fred Wear of
the Butte division that the road conf
IDENTIFY expects to move the crop from
it's Montana territory without serious
delays. Where a few days ago there
was no surplus of cars in sight for the
Butte division, Friday there were 800
cars en- route from the east to this
section of the state, and the roads
facilities for repairing equipment were
considerably improved as compared
with the first of the week.
Add New Men Everywhere
That the strike situation on the
Great Northern was better Friday
than at any previous time was the in
formation furnished Superintendent
Wear in a telegram from Vice Presi-

ranging in numbers from / to 20 were
added to the working forces at all ter

The sheep industry in Montana has

the old time sales between stockmen

are being made by a number of ranchers
at the present time and the outlook il
good for the contamination of several
sales of consequence.
This situation aas affecting sheen
this fall from the last year or
two in that there is both a demand
and a means of buying" said Mr..
Schwingle. I'm a large majority of
cases it will be possible for ranchers
with credit to buy sheep if they are
on the market. This is a reflection of
the improvement in the money market.

of the sheep industry.
Good ewes now are bringing $40
and S12 a head and from the informa-
ton | have been able to gather are
not likely to advance much further, if
at all. 1t is even possible that there will
be something of a reaction from the
abrupt advance of the last year, but if
this comes about it will probably be of
consequence. Considerable profit
has been made on sheep in the last
year and some sales are being made
as profit taking measures"

Farmers Study Crop
Conditions to Learn
of Tillage Methods
Special to The Tribune.

SpeclaI 10 Inc tribune.
Scobey, Aug. 4.-Acting under the
leadership of Ross Farmer. crop COM
mitteeman in the West Fork commun-
ity. a number of farmers spent a prof
liable half day July 90 studying crop
conditions.
The route travelled reached all of the
variety demonstration plots which are
being conducted under the direction of
the Montana extension service in that
community. At each stop a short talk
was made by the extension workers
who accompanied the party. The tour
was made on schedule. with definite
time set for arrival and departure
from each stopping place, so farmers
who did not care to make the entire
trip could join. The season is not well
enough advanced to make very salts
factory comparisons of varieties, but
results of tillage practices could well
be seen. In every instance good work
shows advantageously over shotgun
methods.
Plans are being laid to hold an all
day tour next year.
