TWO MEN NABBED
ON STILL CHARGE.
William Phillips and Harry Burns in
Jail at Wolf POnit-One of
Pair in Trouble Previously

WOLF POINT William Phillips
and Harry Burns are held in the
county Jail here without bonds on
charge of unlawful possession and
manufacture of intoxicating liquor
When arraigned in district court
they pleaded not guilty. Their hear
ing has been set for October 2.
They were arrested at Culbertson on
charges of operating a mammoth
still. Phillips was one of the three
men arrested at Snowden in Septem-
Der 1925 when the largest still taken
in northeastern Montana up to that
time was discovered.
Like the one seized a year ago the
still discovered last week was hidden
in the brush along the Missouri, but
the equipment and liquor seized in
the Culbertson raid is considerably
in excess of that taken in the Snow
den raid. Phillips was sentenced in
February to 60 days in Jail and a
fine of S400 on two counts. He paid
the fine and served the senmece.
Should he be convicted a second
time for a like offense his fine may
be anything between $500 and $4,000
and his sentence from six months to
two years in the state penitentiary

ly become an operating unit of the
Great Northern system, it was an
nounced here Tuesday by w. R.
Smith, general superintendent, on
receipt Of information to this effect
from the St. Paul office. This will
mark the completion of one of the
most interesting railroad projects
In the northwest and the only new
Grea tNorthern has done in Mon
tana in some years.
Interest attaches especially to the
ScObey-Opheim branch because the
people of the region subscribed some
100000 for the building of the line.
More than a month ago freight
in carload lots began moving over
the line, which is 40 miles long. At
that time, the contractors were still
at work and freight was handled at
the convenience of the contractors.
Announcement that on October 1
the branch will be turned over to
the operating department means, Mr..
Smith pointed out, that freight tar
tariffs for carload and less than car
load lots will be in effect on that
day. Grain has been moving out
of the territory as has been live
stock, but other traffic has been
hampered while construction was be-
ing completed.
The station at Peerless, the point
to which the line was built last year,
has been completed and work is pro-
crossing on the Opheim station.
Agencies have been established at
Peerless, Opheim, Glentana and
Richland. The telegraph line has
just reached Opheim, and Western
Union service will be available to

Finds Protein Wheat
Varies With Rainfall
Highest Content Discovered in Drier
Sections, Says County Agent
A. w. Warden.

CULBERTSON, Sept. 23.-The pre-
liminary protein survey conducted in
Roosevelt county by the Montana ex-
tension service indicates that Roose
welt county spring wheat will aver
age about 14.74 percent says A. w.
Warden, county agent. This is the
average Of samples taken from fields
in all parts Of the county, an effort
being made to secure representative
samples in average fields.
The purpose of this preliminary
survey is to show the general run of
protein in wheat throughout the
county. A considerable variation has
been found due to a number Of caus-
es; however, it seems where there
has been an abundant rainfall the
protein content runs lower than the
dryer sections. A spread of five or
six percent is found between high and
low samples.
With range in protein content in
wheat from the same county, it is to
the farmers best interest to know
the exact protein content of his
wheat before marketing. The pre-
MUM range cn No. dark northern
wheat based on protein was quoted
Saturday, September 10, as follows:
II eper cent? cents to 6 cents over
September price; 13 per cents
cents to 10 cents over September
price; IA per cent cents to IA
cents over September price.
Due to- the high quality of the
large crop in the winter wheat belt,
premiums for protein have this year
been far below those of last season.
It is estimated that Montana spring
wheat will average approximately IA
per cent based on the 500 samples
of grain received from 80 wheat
growing counties. In general, the
samples from the northern, eastern
and central counties of the state
have the highest average protein
content, while those from the west
ern and southern counties have the
lowest.

The noted young German is deeply

northeast of Berlin. He is touring
the country and visiting the larger
holdings to get pointers on power
farming. While here he visited the
Senator Schnitzler corporation farm
and interested himself in the prog
ress of other large operations.
On his farm in Germany every
thing is done with oxen and horses
and every acre titled is made to pro-
duce the maximum through the lib
eral use of commercial fertilizer and
diligent and intensive tillage. He
has four villages on his holdings and
5000 acres in forest. AS trees are
fclled for timber and fuel others are
planted to take their place. Records
show that these acres have been till
ed for over 700 years and they still
produce enormous crops. Mr.. ,HOll-
veg has made a thorough study of
the soil, and said that here in north
eastern Montana there is more wealth
in the soil than the people realize
and that it will feed in years tc
come a dozen families where it now
feeds but one.
