ALASKA RAILROAD is BUSY

Anchorage, Alaska.-Uncle Sam is
finding the railroad business good on
his new Alaska line which runs from
tidewater at Seward and Anchorage,
across the mountains to Fairbanks and
Nenana on the territory's interior riv-
err system.
Traffic has been so heavy on the
line that it has been necessary to add
more Pullman sleeping coaches and
baggage cars. At present the road is
operating 30 passenger coaches, TIC
freight cars and 236 ears of miscel-
laneous nature, making a total of 7S2
cars.
In addition to the railroad, the gov
eminent also is operating two river
transports to connect the lower river
points with the road. These boats will
connect with mosquito fleets opcr
ating on the smaller ivers of the IN
terror and will serve to hook IN the
entire section in one great t~ranspotta-
ton system.
Coal is one of the big items on the
freight bills on this transportation
system. The coal is taken from the
mines along the railroad and sent to

CAR SHORTAGE SHOOTS
WHEAT TO HIGH Level

Great Falls.-Shortage of freight
cars during the last six weeks has
been an indirect mean through which
many Montana farmers have realized
an advance of from 10 to IL cents a
bushel on their wheat. A large ton
mage of wheat that would have been
shipped early last month had car
been available only recently has
moved or is still in storage, and grow
ers who have found it possible to get
cars in the interim have benefited by
the price advance.
On October 1, fancy dark northern
spring wheat was quoted at 80 cents
locally and Friday the quotation on
this grade was 95 cents. Fancy dark
hard winter wheat was listed at 70
cents locally on October 1, and Friday
this grade commanded SO cents. Since
November 1, fancy dark northern
spring has reached the 81 mark and
fancy dark hard winter has been up
to 81 cents. Both of the latter fig
ures We're quoted en- November 7.
1t is estimated at the Great Falls
offices of the Great Northern that ap-
p~roximately one-third of the wheat in
this territory has been moved to the
mills, which ear that in the neigh
borhood of $500 cars still are to be
loaded. In bushels, the wheat still
in storage on the farms and eleva-
tors at Butte division points is fixed
at 4,651 900. Seventeen hundred and
f%ifty-nine cars have been loaded out
to date.

HEARD FAMED LINCOLN
AND DOUGLAS DEBATE

While the pages of many Montana
newspapers are eagerly sought be-
cause of the sketches Of pioneer life
and incidents therein contained rela-
tive to this state, it remained for a
Montana homesteader to unearth some
real ancient history in which he was
an unconscious participant, and in
which the people of the entire nation
still cherish a deep interest. We re-
fer to the memorable Lincoln-D Doug
las debate, the witnesses Of which
are not few.
Charles J. Hamilton, a homesteader
in actual residence on one of Uncle
Sans free Montana farms a short dis
lance northeast of Milestone, is JUS
tifiably proud of a clipping from an
Illinois paper of recent date, in which
is published an interview with his
mother, now the oldest living attend
ant at that debate. Inasmuch as he
was the three months old child men,
toned in the article, and his mother
has reached the ripe old age of 80
years, it will readily be seen that
both have since been witnesses to
the whole country. The lady in ques-
ton is in wonderful possession of all
her faculties and writes a letter that
for both diction and penmanship would
do credit to m half a century young
err. That her memory is vivid and
clear is readily seen by the interview.
Not only is the article interesting
from an historical point of view, but
it also offers a contrast worthy of
note between conditions then exist
ing and the conveniences enjoyed in
the present period.
Following is her story:
Mrs. Sarah Derwent Hamilton of
Pecatinoca, ILL.,, is perhaps the oldest
woman living who was present at the
Lincoln-D Douglas debate. Born Febru-
airy 9, 1888, she vas 25 years of age
at that time.
This is an account of the memor.
able occasion which she gave, in ar
interview to a reporter for the formal
Standard:
"Going to the debate was such /;
sudden affair that l had no time t.
prepare my mind for it beforehand
My husband had gone out to work ant
suddenly, about 8 o'clock, he cam
back to the house and called, we mus
go to the debate at Freeport. Hurry.
"At that time we lived four mile.
south Of Pecatonia on our home place
and the distance from there to Free
port was reckoned Is miles. Forum
ately we had an open buggy and tn.
ride was pleasant.

old baby ready, and dressed myself

A SAVINGS ACCOUNT
FOR EVERY FAMILY

An average of more than one saw
ings account for every family in the
United States is indicated in partial
data for the country compiled by the
savings bank department of the Am
erican Bankers association, revealing
wei 10000, 900 savings depositors in
the sources of data covered. In addi-
ton, there are at least 10000, 900 9TH
err owners of savings accounts of var
led forms whose numbers cannot be
reduced to definite figures.
Complete data is practically impos-
sible to obtain under present condi-
tions in regards to savings. But even
with all figures lacking for the thous-
ands Of state-chartered banks which
accept savings in Illinois, Missouri and
23 other states and the District Of
Columbia, and with only the mutual
savings banks out of all the state
banks and trust companies in Indiana,
Ohia and New Jersey included, the
number of savings accounts reported
by the federal and state supervisors
of banks reached a total Of 26,637,831
on June 80, 1921, which is the only
data for which statistics are avail
able.
In addition there are millions of
savings depositors in the non-reporting
states above mentioned, which include
not only the south with the exception
Of the Virginias, but also the great
states between the Mississippi and the
Rockies except Minnesota. Further
more, there are, perhaps, 100000
owners of time certificates of deposit
which are used in place of savings
accounts in rural sections, also the
half million patrons of the postal saw
ings system, 10000 900 members of
building and loan associations, and
other millions who invest the proceeds
on their thrift with life insurance,
real estate mortgage and standard in
dustrial and other corporations.
The total savings deposits was re-
Gently reported by the savings bank
division of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION as amounting on June 80,
1921, to $16,618,5 95, 1000.

A UNITED AMERICA

Lord Shaw, famous British jurist,
who in the summer addressed the
American Bar Association convention,
upon his return to Britain wrote his
views of America for the London
Times. He said he was impressed
with three different Americas, n in
the east, n in the west, and one in
the middle west. Professor Turner,
of Harvard, in the current Yale Re-
view notes this same tendency toward
sectionalism, and discusses the sec
tions as potential nations. 1t is all
very interesting; but the American
union is a reality which cant be dis
solved my merely taking thought.

with other forms of cropping is an
indication Of what may be expected
next year," says w. A. Selvidge, pres
ident of the Montana Development as
ISOLATION.
"The big campaign of the Montana
Development association had added
thousands of acres of summer tillage
for 1923 and with the principles of
good farming applied, we are assured
of profitable returns.
"The estimate of this years wheat
crop in Montana is placed at 100000
900 bushels, a comparatively small
part of which was grown on summer
titled lands.
"With the greatly increased acre
age of properly prepared tillage we
can consistently anticipate materially
increased production in 1923.
"The summer tillers of 1922 are en-
thusiastic supporters of the program
Of the Montana Development associa-
ton and confidence is being rapidly
restored in Montana dry lands.
"The Montana Development ~associa-
ton will follow the summer tillage
program very carefully during 1923
and will compile statistics on results
obtained on some 4,4O0 farms of the
state. The statistics so arrived at will
be valuable as a truthful exposition of
Montana's ability to produce. In
creased demand for Montana lands
will result.
"The business outlook for 1923 is
much brighter in Montana than for
some years past and Montana is safely
on the high road to prosperity"

the acre from his 100 by application
of summer tillage.
John Baumgartner of Fife on 24O
acres seeded showed a yield of 18 bu-
shells to the acre from stubble and 35
from summer titled land. His ex-
perience was typical of many reported.
The survey covered a wide territory
and in many instances recorded strik-
ing comparisons of results achieved
by the same man on adjoining tracts,
.affording precise, parallel, conditions
of soil moisture and other factors be-
ing alike.
From as far west as Poison P. F.
Hern reported yields of Is bushels on
the acre OF fall plowed land and AZ
bushels to the acre on that which he
had summer titled. A. S~toutenberg of
Hysham garnered 16 bushels to the
acre from land which had been disced
as compared with 33 bushels to the
acre from summe titled land. T. A.
Norton of Red Lodge reported yields
of IA bushels to the acre from stub
BILE and 20 bushels to the acre from
summer titled land.
In no instance does the survey show
a crop yield from spring or fall
plowed, stubble or disced land which
equals the lowest yields reported from
summer titled land. Yields as low as
eight bushels were reported from
seeded stubble land.
Average yield for so tracts select
ed at random in various sections of
the state ranging from 20 to 1000
acres of summer titled land was 35
bushels to the acre.
Average yield on % tracts, spring
plowed, fall plowed, stubble or disced

tions Of the state, was 17h bushels

With a good supply of coal at rea
sonable prices it will be possible to
mine large areas of. frozen ground
which, it is believed, contain gold
bearing gravels. Geological survey
officials estimate there is $500, 600 600
in gold in these gravels.
Nome, n of the distant points of
Alaska, will benefit by getting coal
at lower prices. At present coal is
$45 a ton in Nome. By taking it
down the river and across an arm OF
the Boring sea to Nome it is thought
coal can be sold there for half the
present price.

n prohibition law il sumptuary

which IL fundamentally wrong "a a.
moral proposition.
| Two good examples are the customs
law and the law. against murder. 1t
Is unlawful to smnggle dutlable goods
into the United States because the
statutes say that all persons must de-
clare such goods and pay a tariff on
them. However. Il Is rot. of itself.
morally wrong. to bring goods across

ashore from a boat without payment.
IL is wrong only because IL liz forbid

murder but II IL an entirely different
sort OF law. Everybody. from tho
most unleticred savage To the most
polished scholar. knows II is wrong
10 commit a murder. II Is Mt wrong
merely because the law says Il is
wrong; it is morally wrong as a
fundamental fact.
The analogy drawn by officials al
Washington is that there appears Ia
be a danger that people will lose
sight Of these differences The Gus
toms law and the prohibition law are
both Il sumptuary nature. II Is
wrong To smuggle and II is wrong "a
drink because the law forbids these
ictlons. Both laws are frequently
violated hut most OF the violators dc
rot feel that they have committed any

and II Is wrong To swear TO "A false.
