CONDITIONS Bet
TER, SAYS SHAW

Crop conditions in Montana are
taking a more favorable turn, Presi-
dent Coolidge was assured by Leon
Shaw, general manager of the Billings
Gazette. Mr.. Shaw, who has been
in the east on business trip. pointed
out that the Montana wheat crop this
year will amount TO 51,000,000 bush
els as compared with 100000 in
1922.
The situation in Montana is not
different from that of other states OF
the northwest, President Coolidge was
told by Mr.. Shaw and Julius Barnes,
president Of the chamber Of commerce
of the United States. Mr.. Barnes
laid before Mr.. Coolidge compilation
of reports to show that steadily in
creased buying power Of the coun-
try's urban population is having a
beneficial effect upon the condition of
the farmers.
Business conditions throughout the
country are on fairly stable basis
except for the existence Of two ''sore
spots" according to Herbert Hoover,
secretary Of Commerce. One of these
is due to the low price being paid for
grain in the west, the other to the un-
settled condition resulting from the
unsettlement involved
in the French German struggle.
Notwithstanding, the area in which
stability exists is much greater, so
far as the United States is concerned
than that which is affected by either
German conditions or the grain grow
ers' plight" Secretary Hoover said.
General satisfaction is expressed
with the course Of President Coolidge
In sending Eugene Meyer and Frank
w. Mondell Of the War Finance cor
poration into the northwest on fact

COMING NOV. is

Charles William Paddock, "The
Human Streak" the fastest man of
all time will be heard here on Friday,
November 10th, at the Auditorium.
in his lecture on "The Spirit of
Sportsmanship." Paddock is the su-
per athlete of modern times, an in
ternational figure in the world of
sports and holder of exactly 23 world
records on the cinder path. He is
county, state, United States and the
world champion sprinter, and at the
last Olympic games in Europe he de-
feated all comers in the dashes.
With Paddock, however, his re-
markable track record is of secondary
importance. This popular young CAL
ifornian, just % years old, represents
the highest type of citizenship. He is
a student, a gifted writer, a speaker
of unusual ability, and above all a
fine Christian gentleman. He is a
splendid example of what honest
sportsmanship and correct, clean liv-
ing can do for the well-endowed and
strong-hearted American.
He is not novice on the platform.
During the past two years he has
spoken in practically every town of
any size in Southern California. For
years he has been a leader and
champion" in debate. oratorical work
and dramatic work in Technical High
school and then in his college, the
of California. During the
past two years he has been fire.

COMPLETION OF
BELT BRIDGE

The wagon bridge is taking form
but as to its ultimate comeliness peo-
pie are not SO sure. The iron is in place
and this week the rattle of the pneu-
matte riveter sounds like the rat-tat-
tat of machine gun throughout the
city as the red hot rivets are being
placed and riveted down. After this
is done the 10 inch concrete flooring
must be placed. The weather is grow
ing very cold and it is possible that
the engineers will forbid the pouring
of the concrete this fall. Should this
prove the case, the little old tempor-
airy bridge will have to be used all
winter. Expressions on every side are
to the effect that this bridge ought to
be able to carry any load which it
may be called upon to hold up.
K. w. Burnett, who has been erect
ing oil tanks in the Kevin-Sunburst
and Wyoming oil fields, with the help
of TEX Harper, is doing the rivet-
ing during a lull in the threshing
work while a crew Of men are heat
ing bolts and going ahead with the
work preliminary to the installation
of the floor.
e. H. Blakeslee was here last week
and says that the different bridge
jobs are going ahead nicely but that
the short season is interfering with
the completion of the projects in some
instances. The contractors expect to
be able to finish the local bridge, how
ever.
