New Three-Circuit Toll Line Between

A new three-circuit toll line from

company about August 10, accord
ing to an announcement made this
week by company officials. While
telephone connection between Mon

order to keep the company's tele-
phone facilities abreast of the de-
mand for service.
Montana's telephone service al

rain For a hundred miles the line
drives through the craggy range

and six cars of wire were strung
under conditions which would have
baffled the telephone construction

Repeater stations are located at
M~issoula and Spokane, the terminal
OF the line, and engineers who plan
ned the job assert that a distinct i'm

Fifteen such repeaters now are To-
Gated in Montana. They are assem-

voice energy on a toll line to such a
degree that distance causes virtually
no diminution in the distinctness or
volume of the sound and at the same
time does not distort its character

Virtually half of the telephone
talk tracks in Montana are under

state, both long distance and local

considerable returns.
The new company's property is in

Farming Coming Back.

Those who have based their
arguments about international and
domestic economics on export Of
farm products might do we'll to
check up on some Of the figures.
Statistics show that the exports
of leading American foodstuffs in
re- months ending June 80 had a
wholesale value of similar exports
in 1918. when the export market
was normal.
OF course the scale of prices is
generally higher than it was then,
and some allowance must be made
for that but on the whole it can be
seen that the exhort trade in agri-
cultural products has picked up
remarkably since the postwar de-
preston.

For the past six years there has
been cry among certain classes of
our citizens that it was useless to
plant wheat and oats under present
transportation conditions, as an
overproduction would ruin the
home market, yet we now see
wheat selling at two and one-hall
cents a pound, and oats selling
fully as high. These prices have
prevailed with slight variations for
the past FIVE years to our personal
knowledge and there is not an
overflowing granary in San Juan
county. What San Juan county
needs more than anything else is
farmers who will farm. Our great
est trouble in the past has been
that too much farming has been
done around the freside and not
enough out in the fields. San
