Hauls Half of Wheat

Commenting on the crop situa-
ton, Mr.. Budd estimated that the
Great Northern will handle 25,-
900, 900 bushels of wheat in Mon
tsna this year, which he consid-
ers a conservative figure, as com
pared with 20,O0O,OOO bushels in
1925. He said that the Hill road
usually hauls about half of this
states wheat crop.

to come into the country ON the
belief that the railroad is coming
until we are sure it is coming.
In its own interests the Great
Northern would not find it good
business to build into a territory
until the available traffic justi-
fies.
"The Great Northern plans to
continue its policy of building
branch lines into new areas. The
Scobey-Opheim branch, now be-
ing completed, was the first con-
struction of the Great Northern
since the That region is
a wonderful farming country. The
people of that locality who bought
of stock to assist in fl
nancing the project have already
more than got their money back in
their savings on transportation
costs"
Mr.. Budd said that the extern
sion from Richey when built may
be about 25 miles. He indicated
that the route of the Richey-Lew-
istown gap as originally designat-
ed may not be followed in the
event of further construction, but
that any new territory will be OPP
ened that justifes it. The presi-I
dent declared that if the cutoff
is completed it will be built section
by section-there will be no
construction program to
close the gap.
Conditions Have Changed
When the New Rockford extern
sion was projected IA years ago.,
there was an anticipated need for
greater main line facilities, Mr..
Budd said. However, since that
time the physical condition of the
Northern system has been
so much improved and the trac-
ton power of locomotives has
been so much increased that long
and heavier trains are now be-
ing hauled, and are able to take
care of present and anticipated
5raffc.
Another element considered at
he time was the increase of traf-
ic from the west coast. Lumber
was a big item. The lumber bus
has expanded according to
calculations, but the Panama ca
lal has become the route of most
If this traffic, to the loss of the
'ailroads. Consequently, the ne
,essity for the subsidiary main
inc has disappeared, Nj. Budd
pointed out, and as a result the
Great Northern must consider ex-
.ensions from the standpoint of
'eeder lines and branches which
will bring traffic from newly de-
territory. This means,
lie indicated, that the line which
vas to cut through Montana
outh of the Great Northern main
ines must be justified by the bus
ness in that territory rather than
any need occasioned by
eavy traffic from and to the
cast.
Hauls Half of Wheat
Commenting on the crop situa-
ion, Mr.. Budd estimated that the
Northern will handle 25,-
$1,000 bushels of wheat in Mon
ana this year, which he consid-
RS a conservative figure, as com
AIRED with &c 100000 bushels in
925. He said that the Hill road

One of the great attractions OF
Washington for the past n hum
bred years, the garden contains
plants and shrubs that have been
gathered at huge expense from
the four corner of the earth.
Many historic trees adorn its
grounds, shadowing works of
sculpture and art that are almost
priceless. In the center of the
grounds is the famous illuminated
fountain by the French sculptor
Auguste Bartholdi, whose best
known work, perhaps, is the
Statue of Liberty which stands
at the entrance of New York
harbor.
The main conservatory of the
garden is dilapidated and in de-
cay. One plan that has not a
few supporters is to remove the
garden to the outskirts of the city
where it will have an opportunity
to grow, but there is projected
an appropriation by Congress of
about $500, 900 to purchase land
adjacent to the present location
so that its beauties may remain
in the very heart of the Capital.
Probably the most accurate
time piece in the world, varying

In a specially built room in one
of the bureaus buildings, the
clock is inclosed in an alright

movable base. The steel pendu-

Firemen Fight
Stubborn Blaze in
Zero Weather

With the thermometer registering
below zero and heavy wind blow
ing, Chief Dunn and the Gardiner fire.
men fought a winning battle against
fire that threatened the destruction
of the large three tenement building
at the junction of Brunswick avenue
and church street, Friday morning
The alarm was rung in at 10.15, and
the entire apparatus was rushed to
the scene, as the danger was soon
apparent as large volume of smoke
poured from the roof Of the building
The blaze started in the basement
and followed the partitions up through
and was burning fiercely in the attic
when the f1remen arrived. Instead
OF using the old method Of playing
the hose onto the house, they took
it to the seat of the flames, kept all
doors and windows shut, so that the
wind could not get at 1t. On all sides
were heard words Of highest praise
for the efficient manner in which the
chief and his men handled the fire.
The tenements were occupied by
Robert Nickerson, Mrs. Weeks, and
Mrs. Cooling, the latter being the
owner of the house. The fire was
mostly confined to the attic, but the
whole house was thoroughly drench-
ed with water, with damage esti-
mated at approximately $500, par
tally covered by insurance.
