committee.
200 Deaths Monthly Seen.
Plans for the anti-grade crossing
accident campaign were stimulated,
according to the association, by the
fact that in 1924, 1t is estimated that
not less than $500 persons, or more
than zoo a month, will lose their
entirely TO automobile accidents,
while approximately 5000 persons
will be injured, or about 500 month. !"
The figures are based on an esti-
mate that there will be some 20 per
cent more automobiles on the roads
this year than last, or approximately
1o,00o,00o cars in use.
The railroads are annually doing
everything possible to reduce the
number Of grade crossing" the an
nouncement said. ITO eliminate all
grade crossings, however. would be
not physical, but a financial inn
possibility on the part of the rail car
rierS.
:58,362 Grade Croxsfnss.
Reports to the Interstate Commerce
Commission show that in 1922 there
were 256,362 grade crossings, and to
do away with these would mean an
expenditure of approximately $1,000
100000 more than the tentative valu-
alton by the Interstate Commerce
Commission Of all the railroad prop
critics used by the carriers for trans
portation purposes"
The announcement declared that
1O6 grade crossings were eliminated
in 1922 at a cost of about $40, 900, 900.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 7-Quibbling

before the Chicago Sunday Evening
Club on the "Perils Of Inaction."
He said that there is now a great
spiritual awakening Of the public
that has made men. more interested
in religion than any other single sub

be thrown aside, Bishop Freeman
said, to bring greater simplicity.
reality and tenderness into the wor-
ship that people are seeking.
Snug indifference. self-satisfac-
ton and conceit" on the part of a
nation or individual were condemned
by Bishop Freeman as evidence of
moral and spiritual stagnation.

FEEDING CENTER
GREAT NORTHERN MAY ESTAB.
LISH CATTLE FEEDING
YARDS THERE
Idea is to Encourage the Production
of Corn in Northern Montana; May
Route Stock From Calgary to
Malta and Feed so Days.

In ~furtherance of the campaign
to encourage the production of
corr in northern Montana, which
has proved to be one of the most
valuable agricultural crops in
Phillips county, arrangements are
to be made next fall with the Great
Northern railway for the establish
ment at Malta of feeding yards for
stock before shipment to eastern
markets.
These plans were announced by the
executive board of the Malta COM
mercial club during conference with
the irrigation commissioners of the
Malta irrigation district and l.. C.
Gilman, vice president of the Great
Northern railway. 1t is proposed that
stock shipments from Calgary, Can
ada, be routed over the Great North
ern, stopping at Malta for 80 days
feeding, thus assuring we'll condition
ed stock on arrived at South st. Paul
and Chicago.
With this section of the state par
ticularly we'll adapted to corn, it is
thought that the prospect of a feed
ing market near at hand will serve
to increase the acreage devoted to
that crop. Montana corn, in a brief
time, has proved its fattening quail
ties and corn fed Montana stock has
more than once topped the eastern
market.
Plans were also perfected at this
meeting to obtain a large signed up
acreage for sugar beets, the trial
acreage of last year proving that this
IS another crop that can be grown to
great advantage in the Milk river
The labor problem attendant
with the production of beets was dis
,ussed and plans wer laid for ac-
I~uiring of Mexican and Japanese la
oorers for contract work on the
Mr.. Gilman with G. D. Greenfield,

government involved the mainten-
nee charges of class n land, which
he committee recommended should
% left at SO cents per acre, instead

WILL HONOR RED
RIDERS OF PLAINS
ALBERTANS TO CELEBRATE THE
FOUNDING OF NORTHWEST
MOUNTED POLICE
Fort Mcleod Was Established in
1874, When All Western Canada
Was a Wilderness; Mcleod Will
Celebrate Jubilee.

All the romance of the great
west of so years ago will be recall
ed at the jubilee celebration of the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police,
which will be held at Mcleod,
Alberta, this summer, for which
preparations n now being made
by the united public bodies of this
famous frontier town. 1t was in
1874 that the vanguard Of the
Mounties reached the spot where
Fort Mcleod was established. 1t
was then bald prairie, the home of
the Blood and Piegan tribes, the
haunt of the buffalo, for these
monarchs OF the plains had not dis
appeared when the Red Coats be-
gan the construction of the log de-
tachment.
Great transformations have taken
place in that span of SO years. The
government still maintains the old
post but it has lost it's old-time gla-
NOR. With the coming of civiliza-
ton much of the picturesqueness has
been destroyed, and today only a
handful of men are stationed at the
post, perhaps the most famous
Mounted Police post in the west.
Mcleod citizens are proud of their
own, the oldest town in Alberta.
They are proud of the traditions of
I'D Fort Mcleod, and they are going
make good use of the opportunity
live again for a few days, at least,
he life that was enjoyed before the
wire fence came in.
1t will be a roundup of the famous
from all quarters of the globe.
There will be a pageant, Indian war
lances, horse racing, stampede events
md roundup dinners, dancing and a
ist of other stunts carrying the
lower of the west of long ago. The
own council, the board of trade, the
gomen's organizations and the r. c..
P. veterans organization are all
United in the undertaking.
There are several men in Montana
Who served with the Royal North
vest Mounted Police, including Col.

Stanford, after receiving his
.onorable discharge, came to Mon
ana, and became identified with the

ture by adopting the dairying indus
try, according to George, w. Gustaf-
son, county agent.
Through the cooperative organi-
cations of the county, including the
county extension service, farm bu-
reau and commercial organizations,
all efforts are conferred toward the
development of the dairying indus
try" County Agent Gustafson said.
Sentiment in favor of dairying is
county. Farmers and business men
alike of Blaine county fully appre-
ciate the Importance of the manufac-
turing enterprise conferred about the
milk COW. What the dairy cow has
done to such states as Wisconsin and
Minnesota can easily be duplicated
in the Milk river valley, where an
abundance of high quality dairy feed
can be produced, as in no other place
in the state. From Blaine county,
trainloads of alfalfa hay have been
shipped to dairy centers of Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, where, after pay
ing a big price for the hay, besides
high freight rates, it is fed to the
dairy COWS at a profit.
"Never has there been the interest
in dairying in Blaine county that
there is now. 1t is not unusual to
find farmers milking 10, Is and 20
and hauling cream 20 and 80
miles to creameries or shipping sta
tons. A large number of farmers
for their cream $500 or more
per annum and depend on this source
Of income for their living during the
year. Some farmers realize $4,000
and $4,000 from dairy products.
Farmers of Blaine county are
1ow especially interested in securing
better stock to replace their ordinary
lows. Several farmers are shipping
n dairy calves from Tillamook, Ore,
whose dairymen boast of the highest
COWS in the United States.
are shipped into Blaine county
rom COWS that have been tested and
.ulled for 10 or IL years, under the
Erection of the COW testing associa
ions. The dams of these calves have
PRODUCED from 800 to 700 pounds of
fat in n year.
''These calves will furnish the
lairymen of Blaine county with high
.rade stock which will develop into
Ugh producers at a very low initial
ost and low risk"
1t is expected 40 or SO such calves
7ill be shipped in during the spring
lonths.
