INCREASE IN MARKET PRICE
OF POTATOES Is REPORTED

Quite an advance in the market
price of potatoes has been exper-
fenced in the past months and the U.
IS. bureau of markets reports an in
crease of from Is to rs cents in the
price of Melted Gems, the variety of
which many carloads were raised dur
ing the past season in the Prickly
Pear valley adjacent to Helena.
Up to December "a, of the past
year, Montana had marketed 873 cars
of potatoes as compared with 592
cars marketed up to the correspond
ing date in 1920. Total shipments
of Montana's 1919 crop was 932 car
loads.
Though the 1921 potato crop in
the United States is estimated at
346,823,0OO bushels, compared with
428,638,000 bushels in 1920, and the
U. s. department of agriculture esti-
mates that 1921 production is 3d.
100000 bushels short of the normal
consumption Of this country, p0ta-
toes have moved to market much
more rapidly than they did in 1920.
According to the weekly summary OF
the bureau of markets showing car
load shipments, the leading late crop
districts had marketed to December
"a, 1921, 94,710 carloads compared
with 1909 carloads to the same date
a year ago when the crop was IS,
100000 bushels larger. Total ship
ments of the 1920 crop were 14O,63$
carloads.
The potato market has shown wild,
| fluctuations this season. When dig
ging began in Idaho some sales wer'
made at $2.15 a hundred. Prices de
clined to $1.85 and then as digginl
became general in the potato district
and growers rushed their crops t.
market, prices steadily declined. TIL
i low point was around 80 cents hun
dred. The most abrupt decline i
prices occurred when the Dakotas i
one week last fall shipped to the CHI
cago market more carloads than wer
marketed during the entire seaso

Montana Lumber Market

Lumber shipments for the past
month show a marked decrease in
stocks in the manufacturers hands,
due to the excess of shipments over
production. The monthly report OF

shows the total shipments amounted
to 532 carloads or 14,393,2S7 feet,
as compared to 433 cars or 1O,346,-
597 for the same month In 1920.

MONTANA MINING

BY Raleigh Wilkinson

MOntana's output from the mines
for the year 1921 was about &c.,
$4,000, according to the report of
c. M. Gerry, of the United States
Geological survey, department of the
interior. This report shows large
decrease from the output of 1920,
which was $65,573,047.
The report serves to emphasize the
fact that the metal output in Montana
is one of the most important and the
constant operation of the mines ne
cessary to keep up the maximum out
put and at the same time afford en-
plOyment to many wOrkmen, as we'll
as in disbursing millions to the COM
munity at large.
Everyone has noticed the depres-
sion soon following the shutdown of
the Butte mines in February, 1920,
and which has continued uninter-
ruptedly for period verging on IL
months.
Change is Noted
But a great change is notable at
this time and following the announce
ment of the officers of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company that all of
its mines in Butte and the smelling
are to resume operations. A feeling
of elation has followed the announce
ment and an optimistic view now pre-
walls, whereas the contrary was the
case only short time ago. This
optimism is based on solid grounds,
because the people as a whole know
that the Anaconda company is in a
position to make good. The company

ond to none in its output during the
y past year. Its totals are consider.
u ably above those of Colorado and

1921 as follows:
Colorado's total for the period al
given by the United States geological
survey was $13,678,O00.
Nevada's total output, which Il

Robert Ingersoll once said that

(1), That the teeth would not de-

There is a third change now be-

the germs of aspiration and self
preservation should be torn from
the breasts of the miners and rail-

1t should be realized that the Ia

man with these germs.
They were placed in man by ma

cut out by surgery, they cannot be
shot out by the militia and they
cannot be legislated out by law.

his complaint to the Celestial Tri-

did not agree to amend the franchise
Of the Duluth Street Railway company
because that company never came

with the commissioners it held some.

withheld information about itsi depre-
citation charge. Its operating account
wasn't clear. 1t stubbornly refused to
improve its service, and there were
a number Of apparent discrepancies to
arouse the suspicion Of the people. In
plain it was not good sport. It took
all the fat in good years and was not
willing to be satisfied with the lean
in poor years.
The street railway company is but
a temporary winner at the best. The
fight of the people has only started.
City officials may quit if they will,
but there are forces in Duluth that
will not surrender so readily. They

like the way the street railway off,
cials play the game.
They question the courts right to
make law and they look with suspi-
cion on a decision from a court, about
which the company had advance in
formation, which is evident from the
fact that 10000 pennies were taken
from local bank and "six-cent fare'
signs were printed before the decision
was rendered.
Now that the court by its six-cent
fare decision has in effect admitted
the correctness of the company's val
uation claim, we wonder if the city
assessor or the county board will IN
crease the valuation of the company's
property for taxation purposes accord
ingly? Surely that is not an imperti-
nent question.
