GROWTH OF SHIPBUILDING
United States Record Different
From Most of World.

Although world shipbuilding at the
close Of 1925 had declined to q new
low postwar level. the United States
ranked sixth among shipbuiIding ma
ton, while it was in eighth place a
year ago. This nation increased its
shipbuilding by A 900 tons, or SO per
cent, the Department of Commerce
said today
Motor ships continue to be the out
standing features in shipbuilding. The
decline in shipbuilding has been most
severe in Great Britain. Ireland and
Germany. The United States and
Italy were the only large nations to
make progress in Shipbuilding.

WOLF POINT COUNCIL
.RESCnVDS CONTRACT
WITH POWER OUTFIT
J. II. Coffee, Defeated Candidate for
Mayor, Starts Big Rumpus in
Roosevelt County Capita - High
way to Be GravelIed to Frazier
This Summer.

Wolf Point, May 12.-The action
OF the city council Monday evening
IN resembling two contracts with the
Montana-Dakota Power company was
the occasion of considerable unfavor-
able comment among the business
men along Main Street. There was a
large body of the business men pres
ent at the meeting. The vote of the
council was 4 to in favor of re-
scinding.
On April 9th, the outgoing coun-
ell entered into two agreements with
the Montana-Dakota Power compa-
ny through their representative,
Warren JennisOn of Fairview. One
agreement had to do with the fur
nlshing of electric energy to the city
at flat rate of 6 cents per ldlowatt
hour, which a committee appointed
to investigate the matter was about
the cost to the city of producing cleo
trio energy by the municipal plant.
The period of this contract was to be
two years and II months. The ma
| jOrity of the. business men along
Main street were agreeable to the
terms of the contract.
/ The second contract or agreement
made with the Montana-DakOta Pow
er company had to do with the power
cOmpany's putting up the money for
surfacing Main and Anaconda streets
with crushed gravel, the city to re-
/ pay them with city warrants issued
each month during the life of the
electric contract so that at the end
of two years and IL months, the city
would have repaid the power COM
pany for the money advanced. Wolf
Point for the last several months has
| been on a cash basis.
The stretch of the Roosevelt high
way between Frazier and the west
boundary of Wolf Point is to be gray
eled this summer. Crawling of that
part of the highway which passes
through the city could thus be accom-
/ plished at a smaller cost than other
wise if it was done at the time of
the other highway surfacing was
done. 1t was therefore necessary to
advise the highway commission at
once as to whether Main and Ana
cOnda streets were to be surfaced.
The highway commission would
stand approximately Sc per cent of
the cost of surfacing a strip Is feet
wide with 8 inches of gravel, through
the city.
It was deemed advisable, howev-
er to surface the remainder of the
street, inasmuch as the soil here is
heavy gumbo and in wet weather mud
from the unsurfaced portion of the
street would be carried onto the sur
faced section and would soon get the
latter in bad condition.
The proposal of the power company
to advance the money for this work
and permit the city to pay them back
on the installment plan offered a
solution which was agreeable to most
of the business men.
The fight to rescind the contracts
made at the meeting Monday evening
was led by J. A. Coffey, defeated in
the last election for the Office Of may
or. A week ago he was appointed
alderman to fill the place left va
cant when J. H. Appelgren resigned
as alderman to take the Office Of may
or.

$4,000 TRACTORS
Used IN SOVIET
SPRING FLOWING
s1ge25 ARE IMPORTED FROM
UNITED STATES.

Washington, d. C.-Nearly o.
700 tractors are taking part in
the spring blowing in the Soviet
Union this year, setting a new
record for Russia, according to
announcement BY the Russian In
formation Bureau. Last spring
there we're about 5000 tractors,
and before the war there were
less than 500 in the whole Rus
sian Empire. OF the tractors
1895 we're imported over from
the United States. most of them
within the past two years. The
amount paid for them was &c.
2i36l0. Since January 1, 1925,
1862 tractors have been shipped
to the Soviet Union from Ameri-
can ports, and the AmtOrg Trad
ne corporation is shipping so
more this week.
In addition to the imports of
tractors from the United States,
the manufacture Of tractors has
recently been organized in the
Soviet Union. About 1900 will
be produced in the Soviet fac
tories this year. This production
viii be steadily increased, but for
many years it is estimated that
the tractOrizatiOn of agriculture
in the Soviet Union must pro-
coed largely thru the impOrta-
ton Of machines made in Ameri-
can factories.
For generations Russia has
suffered from periodical famines,
resulting from seasons. of unfav-
orable weather plus the primitive
methods Of cultivation employed.
With the aid Of the American
tractor and extensive plans of ir-
ngation the Soviet authorities
expect to make famine years a
matter Of history. Last summer
