REPLACING HORSES AND
PRAIRIE TRAILS

Helena, Nov. montana is
..forsaking the neigh and bray for
the honk and rattle.
This great border state, with
is thousands of acres of range
lands is rapidly succumbing to a
demand for motor transportation.
A state which mounted me ny
troops of cavalry and furnished
the motive power for many bat
cries of big guns during the late
ARMED argument in Europe, finds
its horses and mules together only
half as valuable as its automo-
biles.
But there still are more of
them. Garfield, McCone, Carter
and Powder River, the four Mon
tana counties untouched by rail
roads, number their horses and
mules by the thousands and their
automobiles by the hundreds.
Where Autos Predominant
Apparently brain and Drawn
alike prefer balloons for Silver
Bow county, which is Butte, the%
center of the states great copper
mining industry, has 5000 automo-
biles and only 1,400 horses, while
Missoula, seat of the State uni
versity, has 5000 automobiles and
1900 horses. These are, as yet,
the only two of the states SIS
counties where the motor pre-
dominates.
Lewis and Clark county, of
which Helena, the state capital,
is the county seat, takes a middle
ground, with 2,70O automobiles
and 1900 horses. Ravalli oun
ty, famous not so long ago for
Marcus Days racing stables,
finds 4,317 horses and 1922 au-
tomobiles.
Cascade county, a fine farming
country, has about the same pro-
portion. So has Flathead, noted
for its Mcintosh red apples. Valley
county, in the extreme northeast,
where a vast expanse of grazing
land is still untouched by plow~
and harrow, has almost $4,000
and 1,745 automobiles pre-
senting the greatest disparity of
all regions. B~eaverhead, Mon
premier range county and
he largest in the state, has 12,-
900 horses and 1900 automo-
biles.
Autos Worth More
Records of the state board of
equalization show that the pro-
portion of horses to automobiles
S decreasing rapidly and values
nave reversed within a few years.
IN 1920 there were $4,000 horses
and 42,36O airs
On the assessors rolls this
year, there 100000 horses and
$1,000 cars.
Six years ago, the value OF the
1orses and mules was $31,664,-
)57, of the cars, S1s, $1,000 This
7ear horses and mules were val
led at only S11,369,248 and au-
5omobiles had mounted to $685. =
294,285.

Katie Home Badly
Damaged By Fire

The residence of A. R. Katie
on Benton street was seriously
damaged Thursday forenoon by
fire supposed to have started
from children playing with a
lighted candle. The fire had a
good start before an alarm was
turned in, and it was necessary to
flood the second floor of the
main part to prevent the fire
from breaking through. Most of
the furnishings were carried out,
but the damage will be heavy and
it was reported that there was no
insurance.

Following the adoption Of the

federal Inspector stationed at
Nashville, Tennessee, has notified
the department of a live4hog eX-
hibit held at the Tennessee State
Fair in September. The pigs used
in the demonstration were raised
according to the system OF SAM
tation, under the cooperative SUI
pervision of the University OF
Tennessee, State livestock off
Gals, and 1he local office Of the
Federal Bureau of Animal Indus

The local publication of photo

pigs raised with and without sam
itary measures has aroused much
interest in the plan which great
ly reduces pig losses and results
in well-grown pigs ready for mar
ket at an early age.

POWER In
CONGRESS INCREASED

New York, Nov. 3.-The shad-
ow of an insurgent hand on the
control levers of the new con-
gress took increasing shape We'd
nesday night with slowly mount
ing election returns.
As far and near districts sent
in their belated vote the demo-
cratic inroads into the working
~majorities of the republicans had
reached such proportions that it
became certain that the western
insurgents would hold the balance
of power in the senate and pos
sibly in the house.
Besides gaining sever of the
nine seats constituting the repub-
lican majority in the senate, the
democrats reduced by Is the
present republican majority of
Sc in the house.
These gains, added to the cap
ture of the governorships in two
normally republican states
South Dakota and Colorado
Fitted the banner of democracy to
the highest pinnacle it has reach
ed since the Wilson administra-
|tion was returned to office ~
years ago.
A number of senatorial, con-
.gress;onal and gubernatorial con-
tests still remained to be decided
early Wednesday night, with the
republican candidates having the
edge in the senate fights in In
diana, Oregon and California and.
the democrats far ahead in Ken
lucky.
Close Contests
Some close contests were be-
ing furnished in the fewer than
two dozen house races which still
were to be decided while demo
ratio governors in two states
Mrs. Nellie Ross in Wyoming and
Hunt in Arizona-were
hard pressed.
Republican insurgents in con-
gress not only held their own, but
hey added two new members IN
the senate in Smith w. Brook
hart of Iowa and John j. Blaine
Of Wisconsin. With the republ-
can majority whitfield to a bare
wo or three this group will hold
a strategic position in the sew
entieth congress.

Roosevelt county again demon
strated its ability to produce high
quality corn when it took the
corn banner for the second sue
cessive year at the Northern Mon
tana Corn Show. With an exhibit
which included practically every
variety of corr listed, Roosevelt
county walked away with the
awards in many classes, and cap
tured the banner by a good mar
gin. Competition in many classes
was very keen and the awards
won should be especially crafty
ing to Roosevelt county corn men.
The fact that Roosevelt county
won nine frsts, four seconds, four
thirds and six fourths on corn in
dictates that Roosevelt county is
producing corn of recognized
strains of high excellence. In ad-
dition to corn honors Sid Blair
won first on Victory oats and

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Money and Non-diyidend Stocks,
By GEORGE 4. HUGHES.

So far we have been considering
the relation Of rate for call money to
tho purchase OF dividend paying
stocks, The case with non n.dividend-
paying shares Is quite different. II a
Speculator can borrow money at b
per cent and buy Il stock which pays
dividends high enough to give him
better than per cent on the mouey

and the income ON the security,

merely remains stationary in market

because he has to take into account
the cost Of the borrowed money. rms

periods, but when money is tted UP
III this way for . matter OF Inohths
the money cost becomes important
In other words. nou-diVidend-pAy"
ing stock bought as speculation on
margin must advance or the buyer
has loss.
IN an actively rising market, how
ever, the speculator does not care
how much he has to pay for money
as the cost is absorbed in the ad-
vance. This explains the paradox of
prices for stocks advancing stimuli
taneously with rising rates for cali
money.
Eventually, though, there comes
time when a market rise is brought
10 an abrupt halt because the eN-
pense of borrowing is too great so
that while there are intervals when
the market ignores fluctuations IN
the charge for money, in the long
run this is one Of the most influential
of factors And it is one the average
small speCulator needs constantly 10
bear in mind. Even when he buys
his stock outright, pays for it in full
and takes his certificate home he

he holds it, assuming it pays no divi-
dends. from the loss of interest on

BANK is OPTIMISTIC.
Good Business in Prospect for First
Half of 1927.

CHICAGO, December 13 F).-In q
statement discussing the trend of
business, the Continental and Com
mercial Bank today says: Good busi-
ness is in prospect for the first half
of 1927"
There is no reason to expect other
than the usual seasonal variations in
money rates" the statement adds.
The January rate should ease off a
bit. Likewise the February rate. In
March there will be a seasonal firm
ing, but the April rate should recede
again. Not until JUL should the
rate begin TO show signs of working
up toward the Autumn peak.
THE opinion that something like
the usual seasonal variation In money
at an easy level may be expected
this is one of the main reasons for
expecting business activity, good busi-
ness. during the first half of 1927"

. BALTIMORE, December 13.-More
Christmas goods were imported
through the port of Baltimore the
past few months than ever before, ac-
cording to John A. Janetzke, jr., ap-
praiser of customs.
There has been a great volume OF
Christmas goods through the port
this season, said Mr.. Janetzke. 1t has
been the largest season he has known.
More goods are being imported now
than ever before, probably due to the
fact that Baltimore is becoming the
distributing center of a great terri
tory, he says. And at the same time
there are more American-made toys
on the market
American.built toys are of better
quality, he believes, than imported
toys. There was a time when cases
and cases of dolls were imported from
Germany, he stated, but the number
has greatly decreased. Those made
here are supplanting them.
