MONTANA LIVESTOCK
REPORT FOR JUNE
By GEO. A. SCOTT
Agricultural Statistician.

Alamb crop better than usual;
range prospects bright, except for fear
of .grasshopper damage; cattle and
calves in poorer relative condition
than a month ago; Sand a stagnant
wool market. These are the important
features of the livestock report issued
by the Montana Cooperative Crop &
Livestock Reporting Service today.
RANGES
Condition on June 1 is 90 per cent
of normal, decline of points during
May, due to a late spring, and drouthy
northern portions, some parts of the
central and eastern sections, and in
localities of other districts. Grass
made slow progress in May, except in
Flathead, Sanders and Lincoln c0un-
ties. Where hoppers were destructive
last year, the grass seems to be still
more backward Good rains in late
May, followed by warm weather, gives
ranges a decided boost for June. The
chief source Of worry now is the hop
pers. They are cleaning off the grass
in several localities already, mainly in
the north central district, and serious
damage to ranges as we'll as to field
crops is feared in many counties.
CATTLE
Cattle did not make normal gains
during May, owing to slow growth of
grass and too cold weather. Their
condition on June first was~ SO per
cent Of normal, compared to. 81 a
month ago. Cattle recovered from the
winter most rapidly in the northwest
counties, and in the southeast district,
! and are in relatively poorest shape in
the drOuthy sections and in Fergus
county. Present conditions promise
I good gains. The calf crop viii be con-
siderably better this year than last,
although there are localities which re-
port a short crop.
SHEEP AND LAMBS
Sheep and lambs are still in good
shape, being 81 per cent of normal,
the same a month ago. Only the late
spring prevented them from being
| above normal now. Some rather
heavy losses among young lambs were
caused by the cold wet weather of
! May, but the general loss has not been
/ heavy. Reports from many shaepmen
from over the entire state show that
the lamb crop saved this year is about
rs per cent of the number of breeding
ewes on hand. This is seven per cent
above last years average. Losses
among sheep since January Tun low
being only TWO to three per cent. A
few lambs have been contracted al
from 9 IL to II cents.
WOOL
Very little Montana wool has beer

sold during the past three weeks, due
to an apparent deadlock between the
growers and buyers. Only about II
per cent of the total state clip has
been sold, as far as can be deter
mined. Prices have ranged mostly be-
tween AZ and 50 1-2 cents. More
general selling has taken place in
other states to the south and west of
Montana, but little has been done in
Wyoming recently. On the basis of the
reported supplies of fine woods, and
their rate of consumptionS Montana
growers seem to be justified IN holding
for better prices, but there ma yDe
other factors to reckon with. Shear
ing has begun. Eleeces are heavier
than last year, and the wool is freef
from breaks.

Changes in City
Library a Great
Boon for Many

4 number OF improvements have
recently been made in the city lib
rary building which will add TO the
convenience of the arrangements
there next fall. A large room in
the basement has been fitted up for
a juvenile room. and all childrens
books viii be placed therein at the
close of the summer. The. room is
commodious, light and airy, and is
reached by new stairway imme-
diately adjoining the desk. Ivory
white has been used for the fin
ish Of the reom, and when the
small tables and chair are installed,
the effect will be very attractive.
In addition TO this, new room
in the basement was exeavated and
is now fitted with inelosed shelves
which contain the copies of valley
papers as far back as 1912. beside
numerous unbound maya zine files.
This room is light and dust proof,
and constittes quite an important
addition to the library.
As the public library is very ex-
tensively patronized, these additions
to the present equipment will make
q great Improvement III the present
crowded conditions. When the iuven-
lie department is moved te the
basement, il is planned TO take the
reference library, now IN the office,
out into the shelves now occupied by
the childrens cooks.

N Y. NEWSBOY in
VALLEY ON TOUR
AROUND WORLD
Sam Has Tramped 10000
Miles to Escape
Death

Literally walking away from
death, Sam Diamond, 81 years of
age, born and raised in New York
City and former newsboy. came into
the Press office this morning at the
end of a 10000 mile lap of journey
which will keep him going for
seven years and take him around the
world
After having been told by physic
his doom in short order, Sam start
ed out walking. That was March
20, 1922, and since that time Sam
has travelled here from New York,
by way of Canada, taking the 1000
miles through the Canadian Rockies
with their SHOWS and dangers. Sev-
eral times he says he was frozen,
and now he finds himself ut the
far famed border of Mexico.
Coming across the desert yes
terday was sure fierce y said Sam
when telling his story to the Press
reporter. Sam had the bad luck to
encounter the terrific dust storm
yesterday, and that. combined with
one weight of q 55 pound on his
back, coming at the end of five
day trek from San Diego was quite
strenuous.
But Sam looks life an AL life
insurance risk now, and has a smile
on his face that makes some OF,
the rest of us feel that we don t
indulge that way eften enough. He
is at the city camping grounds,
and will be there until Monday
morning, when he starts over what
may be the worst stretch of his
trip the desert road to Yuma. OF
course Sam would be delighted if
someone driving in that direction
were to give him lift
Sam is now on his way to New
Orleans. from which port he will
sail to South America, later return
ing to New York and starting again
from there for Europe. He left
New York II months ago with 50c.,
he had &c to his credit On arriving
here. In addition to his other load,
Sam carries a banjo mandolin and
playing this, giving small lectures,
and selling photos of himself is
what keeps Sam going. He travels
about 80 miles day, and seems
hornd to. "get there. if indomit-
able pluck and perseverance count
for anything in this world.

SCHENECTADY, Y. Y, June 16.
Recent brokerage failures have
tended to emphasize once more the
continual loss suffered by the in
vesting public. Losses from un-
sound practices in brokerage con-
Germs can be overcome by proper
regulation. Losses from investment
in poor securities cease, however,
only when the investor becomes
more skilful in the selection of his
securities, Roger w. Babson says
that the investor needs the spirit
of service.
1.-THE reason people lose money
on many of their investments is
due to the fact that they select
them with an eye only to possible
profits without considering the
service rendered, says Mr.. Bah.
son. "lf YOU will be sure instead,
to put your money whore it will
render service, profits will come
almost automatically. / have just
been visiting the sites of some pro-
posed water power developments
in the Adirondacks and water pow
er to me, constitutes the most fas-
einating field for sound invest
ment.
Power Goes TO Waste
"In New York State alone there
is 100000 horse power available
which is now going to waste. The
Panama Cana! was ten wears in
building. During this time the
available water power wasted in
New York State would have been
sufficient, translated into dollars,
TO have built five Panama Canals.
This is figuring horse power
worth $50 a year.
''Someone has figured this waste
in the terms of bread and found it
equivalent to 4,250,000 loaves of
bread day. Thus, when, this
waste in one state of New York
alone is translated into ccmmodi
ties it. is found to be sufficient to
supply the bread requirements of
that entire state.
Depreciation Small
Water powers are compare
lively permanent investment. III
the case of railroads and even
steam power plants, there is a. high
rate of depreciation. If this de-
probation is allowed to continue,
the efficiency of operation is great
ly reduced. IN water power plant
the depreciation is a comparative
lv small item. Water power plants
are almost independent of the fluc-
tuations in the labor and commodity
markets. This means that wheh
profitable rates are once fixed by
the company or Il state commission
the profits are not liable to be alb
sorbed by an increase in either
wages or commodity prices.
.There is constantly inereas-
ing demand for household electri
cal appliances, and an increasing
number of homes are availing
themselves of the conveniencies OF
electricity. Further, more and more
