suggestion of Governor Haskell was
changed to slogan for action.
Immediately following, and almost
simultaneously, there were filed art
icles of Incorporation for the Wyom-
ing North & South railroad in Wyom-
ing, and the Montana Railway COM
pany, in Custer county, Montana, and
at Helena, the state capital. In De-
cember, 1922, the Haskell interests
arranged for the financing of the
new railroad and 100000 were
provided with which to pay for its
construction and completion.
Today, with actual work started
on the grading, the project contem-
plates the building of 326 miles of
trackage to extend from point on
the Union Pacific system in Wyoming
west of Casper, to Miles City, via the
Salt Creek oil fields, Buffalo and
Sheridan, Wyo., and points interme-
date. The general route south from
Miles City will be along the Tongue
river to Ashland, where to the south
of that village the line will cross

One year before this memorable
utterance on the part of Governor
Haskell, in November, 1921, w. G.
Williams, personal representative
of the builder, made an examina-
ton of the general situation and
had arranged for the building of
such an oil carrying project. The
original idea contemplated the
transportation of oil from both the
Salt Creek and the Cat Creek field
of Montana through such me-
diuTH. 1t was felt that independ-
emit transportation was necessary
for the encouragement of the in
dependent producer.
AS preliminary committee of
Miles City citizens met with the rep
of the Haskell interests
n Chicago in November, 1922. The
meeting was propitious for the fur
her development of the northwest,
,r that section of the northwest
which would be directly affected by
he construction of new north and
outh railroad. Convinced as to traf-

cesses leading to the decision to build
railroad. 1t is regarded as one of
the marvellous manifestations of the
builder. 1t is recognized as the mark
of an empire builder in the modern
and rapidly developing northwest
Governor Haskells name is associat-
ed with every movement toward the
ultimate completion of the great pro-
ject. Facing the periis of the gen.
eral demand for interference from
previously created government agen-
cies for the direction and control of
operating transportation systems, he
strikes out boldly and decides to build
a railroad. 1t is at once the stroke
of a genius and the exercise of faith
in humanity.
Sheridan Wins Place on Line

of half million horses from the
range. So wild are they that at one
big stampede there were So entries
for the championship, and during the
tryouts every man but one was dis

cent record for the Watson string.
This is the bunch of real buckers
the championship contenders will
have to work over, and believe US, the
man who scores highest will be a
real rider, Knight says. When asked
what he did between times, when not
engaged in managing rodeos, he
smiled.
IT have million acres of land in
South America and a. 10000 acre

half million acre ranch in Nevada
and a few more in other places. r

II anyone thinks there isn't q

rodeo, let him talk to Ray Knight
for q few minutes.
III you think the bucker You see

fore the grandstand is just the or

Knight, who is in Shelby making
arrangements for the biggest thing
in rodeos, stampedes, roundups, or
whatever you may want to call
them, that ever was staged in this
end of North America.
Any anyone who follows the big
wild west shows, or any cowpuncher
who rides the range and dreams of
the time when he will annex the

event and be champion of something,
and he will tell you that Ray Knight

Gently won the roping championship
of Canada, which he still holds. He
has been staging stampedes and ro-
aeos since he was kid, and has
handled either the management or
furnished the stock for the biggest
affairs ever pulled, such as the CAL
gary Stampede in 1919, the Winnipeg
show which played to as high as Co.,
600 people in day, or the Saskatoon
Stampede which the Prince of Wales
honored by his presence.
The big rodeo at Shelby will be
the first one he has ever handled on
this side of the line, and he aims to
make it his best. A string of So |

and reputation which has taken IL
years to accumulate, lead the bunch |
of stock which he has. A writer in

rangements are well under way for

ings commercial club has already ap-
pointed committees and is actively
engaged in work which will insure
the success of the meeting.
A feature of the convention this
year will be the meetings of the va
rious trade sections, more than half
the time being given to this arrange
ment. 1t is believed that one of the
greatest benefits which merchant

of exchanging opinions with others
engaged in his line.
The officers confidently expect the
most successful convention in the
history of the organization, which
has grown marvellous growth in
membership and strength and now
consists of more than one thousand
members from all the towns and cit
les of the state. A district counsel
Tor represents the association in each
county and the organization is fur

Of the last year are the wonderful
growth in membership, the vigorous

Last year he spent virtually the

MEANS GIVES ADVICE
Tells Advantage Of Diversified
Farming.

Balanced production is the cure
for weevi in Idaho alfalfa fel6s
recommended by Mark A. Means.
state commissioner of agriculture,
in statement issued at Boise.
He believes that the farmer who
raises several crops and goes into
the dairy and livestock business in
general will not have his income
impaired. A one-crop policy
keeps farmer in turmoil all the
time, he says.
"It is true" he says, "that on
all our well-balanced farms it is
necessary TO have clover and
alfalfa for rotation of crops but
these should be plowed back into
the land to keep up its fertility.
81 understand that alfalfa grow
crs are instructed by scientists to
spray their fields to eliminate
weevil This is the proper thing
70 do, | believe, and the growers
should follow the instructions but
the Idaho farmer cannot afford to
grow any more. alfalfa than can tie
sold in his home market or he can
use himself.
"What object is there in grow
ing this one crop Of alfalfa ard
going to the expense Of sprayingfit
to raise it when it is not salable
outside the state Of Idaho? Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington and
Montana have quarantined against
the shipment of Idaho alfalfa into
these respective states and WASH

alfalfa to pass through the state TO
