WHEAT PRICES DROP, ELE-
vATORS RECEIVING GRAIN

Wheat prices Monday went off
again, winter taking a three cent
drop, from 19 TO rs, and spring five
cent drop, from so to "a cents. Tues
day the market rallied a little and
winter was quoted locally at 70 and
spring at 61 cents. Since last week
the Farmers elevator has been able to
obtain and load out five cars, reliev-
ing the situation somewhat and en-
abling them to receive wheat for prob
ably the balance of this week. The
Rocky Mountain elevator has had but
one ear set in. and is rapidly becom-
ing filled, with a prospect Of reaching
its capacity within the next few days
if cars are not received Both the
Great Northern and Milwaukee hope
to have cars this week. Elevators at
other points are in an even worse con-
dition than the local houses.

CRAFTS SEEDLINGS ONTO
NATIVE ROOTS, GETS FRUIT

The Belt valley has never been
rated as a promising location for
vineyards, but an inspection of the re-
suits attained by Andrew Mosell, who
lives on the flat south of Castner
Park, show at least possibilities in
that direction. Mr. Mosell is some
thing of an horticulturist and has
been experimenting with more or less
success for years with various fruits,
and this year has several baskets of
ripe and luscious grapes to show as
proof of what can be done in that hne
in this locality Mr.. Mosell at one
time operated ranch near Riceville
and while there also experimental
with grapes, but found the seasons
too short for full success. although he
found no difficulty in raising thrifty
vines and was moderately successful
with exceptionally early varieties. His
method here is to graft the standard
grapes upon the Wild roots.

NEW WHEAT WITH LARGE
KERNELS PROMISES WELL

At the State Bank of Belt there is
on display a sample of Poland wheat
raised by Fred G. Nelson Of the Tiger
Butte section. This is new variety
to this country and is said to be very
prolific yielder, having been known to
go as high as 100 bushels to the acre
on irrigated land. 1t is hard wheat
and of good milling qualities, 1t IS
claimed. Mr.. Nelson threshed 10
bushels off from three-fourths OF an
acre after it had withstood the ravish-
es of the grasshoppers and hail and
with practically no rain during lta
growth. The berries are exceptionally
long, averaging about 7-16tb inch IN
length, while none are under quaxtsr
nch. Mr.. Nelson win give the wheat
another trial next year. seeding the 10
bushels he grew this year, and using
about q bnshel to the acre. The ex~
pertinent will be watched with eonsad-
srable interest.

Belt is Badly WAL
lOpGd, Falls Came

In its first football game of the sea-
son, and about the fourth game In
which any of the members of the team
had ever participated, the Belt Valley
High school was defeated by the Great
Falls High school last Saturday at
Great Falls by a score of 103 to o, a
result which was anticipated by Coach
Leo Spogen and his men from the time
the game was first arranged, though
it had been hoped that the locals
would be able to make some showing
against their opponents.
Though from the first kick off it
was apparent that Belt had absolute
ly no chance against the Blue and
White aggregation, the locals really
put up better offensive game than
the score would indicate and on a
number of occasions succeeded in not
only slowing down the play of their
opponents, but on a few occasions
holding them for only small gains. In
defensive work the locals were wholly
inadequate and seldom were able to
get the ball into the Great Falls
territory and at no time did they have
chance at scoring.
The game was arranged, according
to Coach Spogen, purely for practice
purposes and to show the boys that in
reality they knew much less about
football than they thought they did
A weeEfrem Saturday, the f4th, a
game has been arranged with St
Mary's High school of Great Falls, to
be played here, and with this team the
locals will be on much more equal
footing, since st. Mary's has no more
material to draw from than has Belt
and has played the game no longer
With these facts good game may be
expected, and it should be we'll at
tended.

Grand Old Man" has suddenly gone
camera crazy. It's just way by
which he is sending a counterfeit
presentment of himself into many
congressional districts to help re-
elect his friends. Probably no other
member of Congress will take part in
as many local campaigns for Congress
as will Uncle Joe" in this way. He
is getting too old to stand the cam
paign travelling. but the photographs
now being taken daily will show how
fond he is of these candidates. 1t is
very conservatively safe to say that
no man ever about to leave Congress
was so besieged by his colleagues to
have his picture taken with them in

CARRIED SECRET TO GRAVE
Canadian Prospector Refused to
Divuloe Location Where Gold
Cropped Out.

A man who kept his secret to the
end was the Canadian hunter Gilbert
son. Sixty years ago, when he was
making canoe trip up the Wapshe
river the New York Evening Post
states. he struck camp for the night
near what later discoveries indicate
must have been large body Of gold
bearing ore. Without knowing what
this ornamental stone was, he took
home big piece to use for door
weight. A while after this geolO-
gist who was visiting Gilbertson identi-
fed the ore, and a rush to stake
claims along the Wapshe ensued. But
the unwilling prospector would never
tell where he made his great find. In
later years he became insane and died,
still refusing to reveal the location.
This season a systematic search of
that country Is being made in hope
Of rediscovering "the Gilbertson lode"
