In 1879 work was started again and
construction pushed rapidly forward.
At the same time work was carried
on from the western end in Eastern
Washington from the Columbia River
eastward. On August 90, 1883, the
line was completed.
Completion of the railroad was

SAYS EARLY SPAWNING
MEANS EARLY WINTER

The early spawning of trout this
eason is an indication of early win
ter, according to w. e. Binko, who
vas recently a Missoula visitor from
his outing ranch in the Blackfoot val
ley. Mr.. Binko operates a private
hatchery together with his other in
terests in the Blackfoot region.
He said that the Dolly Warden
trout had already started tt go up
the smaller streams to spawn, that
they usually spawn earlier than the
native brook trout. The indications
are that the brook trout will start
spawning about the middle of Oc-
tober, he said.
Mr.. Binko states that there are
conditions of water that give the
fish warning of climatic conditions,
and that when there is an early win
ter the trout always spawn earlier in
the season.

PEANUTS ENTER LIST OF
STAPLE FOODS; USE OF
PEANUT BUTTER GROWS

A generation ago peanuts were
looked upon as a luxury, to be eaten
on circus day or fed to the elephant
and the monkeys, but had no place
in the daily diet of the nation. Today,
statistics show that the use of pea
nuts in the form of peanut butter has
reached a point where it may be con-
sidered as a staple.
A large portion of the peanut but
ter consumed in Montana is anu
featured in Seattle from nuts i'm
ported for this purpose, those being
selected which have just the right
proportion Of oil. The nuts are
thoroughly roasted, shelled and the
brown inner skin and the germ re-
moved to prevent any bitter taste
and to keep the product from becom-
ing rancid, and then the nuts are
ground.
The peanut butter as it leaves the
grinding machine is put into con-
tainers and packed ready for ship
ment. The Rogers company which is
the largest manufacturer of this pro-
duct in the Pacific northwest, packs
all of it's output in bright colored tin
containers, which are sealed so that
there is no chance for contamination
or deterioration. Their "School Boy"
peanut butter, is widely known
throughout Montana, and large ship
of it come into the state every
month.

Introduction of beans on a large
scale on the Waller Project is eX-
pected to follow a recent ~investiga-
ton into results from that crop in
the Billings irrigated territory by
r. w. Spier and U. G. Shue of
Waller. Mr.. Spier and Mr.. Shue
each will plant 40 acres of beans
next year, basing their expecta-
lions of success on the similarity
of growing conditions in the Waller
and Billings districts.
Observations of the local men in
the Billings bean district were given
in the following interview after their
return:
eve found that bean growing has
increased largely in the last few
years and, judging from the road OBJ
servation, the bean acreage seems to
be nearly as large as that devoted to
beets. Beans are recognized
generally as a clean up crop for foul
land. Summer fallow is not prac-
ticed at all on the irrigated land. We
to see a single acre in summer
beans and sugar beets, gen
orally the former, being used as a
substitute. In addition to cleaning
up the land, the bean is a legum-
nous plant and places nitrogen in
the soil, which sugar beets do not. 1t
was stated to us several times that
grain crop after beans, other things
being equal, will yield more heavily
than on beet land.
1--WE called on Martin Curtis,
about eight miles west of Billings,
who had in 140 acres of Great Nor
.hern beans and 40 acres of alfalfa.
Ill of which has been handled with
one hired man, with the exception of
one additional man during haying,

messed by 5,613. The Smith-Hughes
men were called upon to make $50
veterinary calls and they vaccinated
1870 animals.
Miscellaneous duties of the agri-
cultural instructors included the
writing of 1857 personal letters and
over 1900 copies of circular letters,
preparing 873 newspaper articles,
making 722 field trips, distribution
of 44,400 pounds of gopher poison
and 514,175 pounds of grasshopper
poison, answering 1,555 special calls
from farmers, finding work for 373
men,, testing 1908 samples of cream
and milk, inducing 1873 young men
to attend school who would other

Wo mem Now Using
Blind Baggages Vanity
Cases Find Place ON
P. Brake ssROds %

That the female of the hobo
species is becoming more and more
prevalent along the great steel
highways, is the opinion of offic-
ers of the Northern Pacific at Liy-
ingston. Within a space of "a hours
recently two trains passing through
that city gave evidence of having
passengers of the supposedly gem
tier sex occupying choice positions
where usually none but members of
the sterner sex may be found.
Perhaps the most suspicious eyi.
dence that a woman had been riding
a train was in hand when the night
officer found on the blind baggage
a woman's vanity case in which was
concealed a quantity of homemade
fudge and a dainty linen handker-
chief. Neither the vanity case MOI
the handkerchief provided marks that
might lead to the identity of the
owner.
The next call was for an officer to
go to the tunnel and board and search
an incoming freight train on which
it was suspected were two girls who
had escaped from the state vocation
al school at Helena. An officer made
the trip and his first proof that the
girls were or rather had been on the
train was when he saw them headed
across a field. The start that the
youngsters had on the officer gave
him a chase of a mile and a half be-
fore the first one was caDtured. the
second waiting and giving herself up
when the officer and her partner in
the escape returned the scene Of
leavetaking.
One of the girls was IA years of
age and had been committed from
Livingston recently because of
incorrigibility, it is said, and the 9TH
err was a 16 years old miss whose
home previously had been at Laurel.
The girls were provided with food
and warm clothing and returned to
Helena.

FENDER SMASHED WHEN AUTO
COLLIDES WITH YOUNG DEER

Deer are becoming so plentiful
in the Warland-Libby district that
motorists are warned to take I'M
usual precaution to avoid running
over them. John Wotring of War
land and his son had a peculiar ex-
perience recently. The boy was
driving and it was quite dark,
when suddenly a deer appeared in
the road directly in the path of the
car. A collision was unavoidable
and the deer was struck in such a
manner that it was hurled against
one of the rear tenders, which was
badly smashed. The frightened
deer disappeared in the darkness
and it was not known whether or
not it was injured.

Milk River Wants Sugar Factory

4lAlh 1ki'O1 fAhNo baSo
The commercial club of Malta has
been taking a farm census with spec
ial reference to sugar beet produc-
ton, in an effort to bring a sugar
factory to the Milk River valley.
Already replies have been received
showing that 1900 acres would be
put into beets in 1925, and that at
least $500 acres could be put into
condition for that crop.
c. Wilson of the Great Western
Sugar company, has been in Malta
with I. D. O'Donnell Of the Great
Northern railway, surveying the field
preliminary to making a report to the
sugar company, with reference to the
proposed factory, which it is hoped
will be located in the valley for the
1925 season.

yields about Is sacks or 1900.
pounds an acre. Anything less than
- sacks is considered a poor crop,
usually due to improper methods of
cultivation, and some cases have
been known where the crop ran as
high as 5000 pounds to the acre.
"Mr. Curtis showed us a charac-
t~eristic case of the use of beans as
a clean up crop. o n a piece of rent
ed land adjoining him he had seven
acres which had been repeatedly
farmed to wheat and oats, and it
vas described as being as foul with
wild oats as possible. He double
disced it early this spring, and fol-
lowed up by repeated civilizations,
a good deal as we handle the foul
land on the Waller project for a late
crop of barley. About the first of
June he went over the tract with a
four-horse bean cultivator with the
ditching shoyels attached. This was
Immediately followed by the four-row
drill, planting the seed in shallow
burrows thereby made, and then fol-
lowed by a harrow with the teeth
staggered. After that the land re-
ceived the usual cultivation and ir-
rigation for a bean crop. In addition
to the above he expended $40 for
hand labor in hoeing and pulling out
the wild oats, amounting to about So
per acre. The crop on this seven
acres is estimated to be close to 1900
pounds per acre. This certainly
beats our present summer fallow, for
AZ cents per pound for beans,
his crop on these seven acres would
amount to S54 per acre. Even if
both the yield and the price were cut
half there would still be a big
cash advantage over summer fallow.
He estimated his whole 140 acres to
average 1900 pounds to the acre.
Has Little Labor.
"Mr. McCracken, east of Billings,
has $50 acres of beans, which he has
handled entirely with one hired man,
expanding only about a like amount,
$40 for hand labor thereon.
1--WE had always supposed that
beans had to be intensively farmed,
like sugar beets, in small acreages,
and it was a revelation to us to find
that these men handled as many
acres of beans as we do of wheat,
with about a like amount of labor,
and producing a great deal more of
cash value per acre, at the same time
maintaining their land clean for the
next years crop.
From all the information that we
obtained, we see no reason why com
mercia1 beans of the Great North
variety, which is the standard,
could not be grown just as success
July OF our Waller and Conrad ir-
land and elsewhere in irri-
gated Montana as at Billings. At all
events we are so convinced of this
point that we intend to put in at least
acres a piece of beans next sea-

Ct Yet we know that there are men made wealthy
OVER NIGHT by an oil strike. Investigation win
show that 1t is the LANDOWNER who becomes sud

when he leases his land to an operator, he reserves
the right to 12a barrels out of every 100 barrels of
oil taken from his lands. The law requires that bis
oil (one-eighth of the total life production) be de-
