GREAT FALLS, Mont, Dec. 90
The Great Falls Labor Topics is now
appearing regularly as the successor
OF Town Topics, formerly the property
OF the Great Falls Federal Labor
Union. Efforts OF the almost extinct
local democratic party to'boost their
candidate for congress resulted in the
temperance of Town Topics until
after the election, but It has now gone
under.

Railway Bosses Organ
Hits Board for Giving
Increase to Employees

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The neutral
azbitrators of the National Board of
Mediation which awarded a tx per
cent increase in wages to railroad
conductors and trainment are attacked
In the current issue Of Railway Age,
because they failed to give reasons
tor granting the increase" The
bosses magazine declares that the
RaAlroads are embarrassed by the
award" and have a right to know on
what basis It was given.
The magazine says that now the
railroads will be open for demands for
further increases from the employees
and attack the award because Of this.
1t laments the fact that the increase
will give the workers more than even
the railroad labor board did in 1920. .

Last year the Christmas seal sale
amounted to $23,644.17 and from
this amount the budget for the en-

association has no means of support
other than the seal sale funds, this
the amount Of work undertaken de-
ponds upon the response to the sale.
OF the $23,544.17 worth of seals
sold last year, $1l,722.O8 was re-
tanned for city and county work in
the communities where it was
raised. These funds are used in
providing food for undernourished
children and in local health building
programs.
$500 Worth of Seals Sold Here
The Woman's Community Council
was in charge Of the sale in Bis
marck. More than 5000 worth of
seals were sold Of which more than
$4OO remained in Bismarck for use
among the children at the public
schools of the city.
Miss Madge Runey served as
county chairman. About $500 was
raised in the county and about $3.50
remained for use in the county.

perity that comes to the farm. It
should not be difficult to grasp the
fact that. from 4 purely economical
standpoint, our future prosperity and
well-being rests almost entirely upon
how many more farm settlers Of a
good class we can bring into the
state within the next 10 or Is years.
That is our states need and present
problem. In its vigorous, persistent
effort to obtain these new settlers
lies the best answer to the states
tax question. No greater problem
faces our state than the utilization
Of it's vast, nonproducing acres. The
only solution and remedy Of that
question is, good farmer on every
100 acres or more Of good farm land.
Rapid Progress in Diversified Farming

and sweet clover we are producing 40

STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT ENDS
GREATEST YEAR in ITS HISTORY
HEAVIER SEASON PLANNED FOR 1927

about So per cent finished and
ranges from mere beginning on
some work to 80 per cent compile
ton on others. This involves an
outlay Of $2,SO9, 131.17 Of which al
ready $824,5s7.62 has been paid on
preliminary estimates. The Sanish
bridge will cost $423,938.61 and is
about 0ne-third finished, while the
Willist0n structure, to cost $685.
O63.0 3, is over half completed. The
unfinished jobs will cucumber the
1927 highway finances to the tune
of 1904 ,O58.41. No actual con-
structiOn work was commenced on
the DesLacs bridge, and the bridge
across the Red River between
Fargo and Moorhcad is being held
up because no agreement can be
reached by the two communities as
to the location of the structure.
Provision was made during the last
legislative season for both of the
bridges. In addition, the state
highway department and the war
department are jointly engaged in
revetment work on the west bank
Of the Missouri river between the
N. p. Railway bridge and the Lib
erty bridge which will cost approxi-
Inatelv $4,000 and will be borne
equally by each. This work is
rendered necessary bv the vagaries
of the Big Muddy, which has been
trying to carve out new channel
and which If not prevented would
endanger the safety of the Liberty
bridge and ultimately destroy that
structure.
First Year State Road Maintenance
The department is also winding
up it's first year Of. entire RESPONSE
bility for the maintenance Of all
improved state roads. Previously
this work had been done by and
through the counties with state
supervision only. but the last legis-
lative assembly imposed full charge
upon the state highway commission
and now It has complete control
and must also pay all bills. Dur

With the compilation of mass
of statistics and cost data, the
State Highway Department is fin
ishing the work of the greatest
year of it's history and is looking
forward to even heavier season
for the coming year. This is both
true of the construction Of new
roads and, also. the maintenance
and upkeep of those highways al.
ready improved. New construction
during the past year was com.
Dleted and accepted by both State
highway commission and IT," hui
reau of public roads in 40 differ
ent counties of the state, which
affords some idea of the widespread
activities of the department and the
ever increasing demand for better
roads coming from all sections. In
addition construction work ut va
rious stages of completion in 80
counties is being carried over into
1927. Bowman, Emmons, Hetting-
or and Oliver are the only four
counties out of u total of 81 coun-
ties in which no new highway work
was undertaken during the season
Just completed, and in several of
these improvements will be made
during the new year.
During the past year, AS miles
of earth grading and drainage
structures were completed, 600
miles of gravel surfacing done, e.
miles of paving and "a miles of
clay surfacing were added to the
state highway system ct total
cost of $2,734, 964.28. This brings
the improved portion of the 7.434
miles comprising the state highway
system up to 2,764 miles, of which
I 1895 miles are gravel surfaced and
nearly 10 miles paved.
During 1925, 426 miles of state
road were earth graded and 26C
miles gravel surfaced at q total
cost Of $2,300, 692.O3 which is $425,.
372.26 less than expended during
1925. Highway records show that
in 1929, $40 miles Of earth grading
and 24l miles Of gravel surfacine
were completed or "finaled," which
means accepted by the department
On the face Of the records that
year would be the biggest year, but
the apparent high record is not q
correct picture Of the actual condi.
tons because IN 1922 but little &C.
tual work was completed and ar
immense amount carried over into
1923, being accepted early in the
spring of that year. Department
engineers believe that in actual &C.
complishments 1895 really leads ali
other periods.
