 Attorney at Law,
 Ketchikan, Alaska.
 Dear Paul:
 We need some men in the legislature who have had some experience for the best interest of the majority of the people, be they Natives or Whites. have always believed that the whole world was made for all the people who inhabit it and that neither any particular na- tlon nor any particular race should have a cinch on any of it. True, some nations and some races may have farther advanced than others but that is simply a circumstance and an incident in the scheme of things and while an all wise Providence may be responsible for this I cannot see where any particular nation or for that matter any particular race, has any real, inherent superior qualifications. My experience and observations teach me that with equal opportunities peo- p1e of different nations and color will reach just about the same level and the late war

Wheat Grading Improves
States Market Conditions

Northern Spring or No. Dark North
ern Spring, prices are quoted for
these grades. Then since protein
premiums are commonly paid for
wheat containing IL per cent or more
of protein prices are quoted for wheat
of various protein content within the
common range.
Following is an example of the
quotation used. The figures are
used merely to illustrate the method.
Base Prot. Con. Over
Grade Price 1870 1870 149s 14q6
No. Dark Nor. LA Lac 1.48 1.51 153
No. Dark Nor. LAO 1.42 LA 1.47 LAO
The prices given are the prices at
Minneapolis for the day, and prices
for any point in the state may be de-
termined by subtracting the freight
from that point to Minneapolis and the
regular handling charge from the
prices quoted. For instance if the
wheat in question is No. Dark Nor
thern of 13 per cent protein and the
freight from the local shipping point
to Minneapolis plus the handling
charge is 80 cents, the local price
should be $1.1S, on the basis of the
figures used in the table.
The ordinary grain market quota
tion is often misleading, according
to the marketing specialists, because
many assume that the cash price
quoted at Minneapolis on a certain
day is the basis for the price in Mon
tana on the same day. Instead, the
price in Montana is based on the fu-
ture price in Minneapolis. Thus the
only part of the ordinary market quo
tation which the Montana farmer is
concerned with is the future price
Then too, there is confusion from
the fact that the future price is
based on grain No. 1 Northern
Spring. This is a. lower grade than
Hard Spring or Dark Northern and
very little of MOntana's wheat comes
in this class. Consequently it often
appears that the future price is con-
siderably lower than the cash price
However, it will be noted when a
quotation is given for a cash sale OF
No. 1 Northern Spring the price will
be nearly the same as the future
price. Thus a quantity of No.
Dark Northern Spring wheat sold
to a buyer in Montana should bring
the future price as quoted at Mime
apolis for the day plus the difference
in price between No. 1 Northern
Spring, minus the freight and hand
ling charges between the shipping
point and Minneapolis. If the wheat
contains a high protein content the
protein premium should also be ad-
ded.

ERADICATE
BARBERRY BUSHES.

(FrOm the Montana State COIIesge.N
FAVORABLE weather conditions
which started crops off early
and favored in early maturity
combined with the fact that more
than $4,000 barberry bushes have
been eradicated in the past four
years, resulted in holding losses from
black stem rust of wheat down to
the minimum this year, according to
w. L. Popham, in charge Of the bar
berry eradication campaign in Mon
tana. While growing conditions were
particularly in the farmers favor this
year, Mr.. Popham believes that the
work Of destroying barberry plants
has gone far enough to prevent
the recurrence of such widespread
losses from rust as have occurred in
other years, even under the most
favorable conditions for rust deveI-
Opment.
During the past summer II biology
students at Montana State College
have been working in Montana in the
| Darberry eradication campaign. The
effort this year was directed largely
to the central part of the state and
certain mountain valleys where
plants have escaped from cultivation
and eradication work is most diff
cult. According to Mr.. POpham, birds
carry barberry seeds, and in this
manner barberry shrubs used for orn-
amental purposes often prove the
source of infestatiOn. In one place
more than 1900 plants were found
within a radius of a few miles of a
cultivated barberry hedge Since the
common barberry is a host plant for
the fungus which causes black rust
land owners who use this plant for
decorative purposes are indirectly re-
sponsible for serious losses to farm.
ers, say Mr.. Popham.
Leaders in the barberry eradication
campaign believe that success in the
effort depends largely upon the co.
operation of the general public. There
is state law against the importa.
tion and sale of the common barberry
in the state and this law has beer
responsible for keeping out large
numbers Of tn eplants. Occasionally
however, unthinking or unknowine
individuals bring in common bar
berry plants from other states anC
use them for ornamental purposes
about the home. Such plants are
difficult to locate and often cause
widespread infestations.
| Where the barberry shrubs are de
sired for ornamental paintings, Mr.
Popham suggests that the more de
sirable Japanese barberry be USED
instead of the common variety. The
Japanese barberry has no connection
with black stem rust.

Cattle company at $8.25 averaging 1885 lbs.
The Faddis double wintered Texans from
the Crow Reservation averaging from 1125
to 1150 lbs. sold at $3.50 against $3.50 last
week. Range cows and heifers ruled weak
to a shade lower in sympathy with the
decline in native butcher stock. Our sales
included 132 twO-thirds finished heifers
at Sc averaging 903 lbs. for Harris &
Simpson OF MOOrcrOft, Wyoming.
Wednesdays receipts Of westerns were
$500, the quality of the offering being
poor, prices ruled steady on steers with
the bulk Of the sales from 50 to $3.50.
We sold Off the Diamond A Cattle Com
pany, Eagle Butte, South Dakota, 323 half
fat steers at $7.35 averaging 1O42 lbs. and
Isl steers at $7.25 averaging 1923 lbs. A
good proportion of the run consisted OF
cows and heifers, and prices were again
lowered in keeping with the lower tendency
on native cows and heifers. We sold fol
the G. B. Team Mule Company of Ft
Worth, Texas, % cakefed steers at $1,000
averaging 14S1 lbs, and 1O5 head at $9.9C
averaging 1461 lbs, which is the highest
price paid for the year for cakefed Texas
steers. These cattle were held back OF
our advice, and confirms our prediction
made some time ago of a. higher market
There were $1,000 cattle shipped cas-
last week, which shows a splendid demand
and a good undertOne to the beef trade
COrnfed cattle have advanced 75e to SIS

CFrOm the Montana State College.

(From the Montana State COllege.)
YITH the cooperation of the
M marketing service of the Unit
w ed States Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, the newspapers of
the state, and the Associated Press,
Montana State College has inaugur-
ated a system of quoting wheat pric-
es which will enable farmers to ar
rive directly and indirectly at the
local price of their wheat. The quo
tations will be recorded daily In the
daily papers and once week in many
of the weekly papers. They will be
based on the Minneapolis prices for
the day and will show the quota
tions on the different federal grades
which are important in Montana as
we'll as the prices paid for wheat
with different percentages of protein.
According to marketing specialists
at Montana State College the COM
parative new practice of considering
protein content as a factor in deter
mining wheat prices has tended to
confuse the farmer. The ordinary
market quotations add little enlight-
enment because they consider too
many factors with which the Mon
tana farmer is not concerned and
with which he has little contact. By
means of the new system OF quoting
prices it is hoped to give the producer
a clearer and more accurate knowl-
edge of the price of the quality of
grain which he has to sell.
At this time of the year the Mon
tana farmer is concerned chiefly with
the marketing of hard red spring
wheat of which Marquis is the most
generally grown variety. Since at
least 85 per cent of the hard red
spring wheat of the state grades

Chas. R. Forbes Begins
Two Year Prison Term!

Leavenworth, Kans., March 90
Charles R. Forbes, hero of the world
war and former head of the veterans
bureau, today became a prisoner at
the United States penitentiary. The
man who was once entrusted with
$33,000,000 to spend in salvaging the
human wreckage of the world war, be-
gan serving two year sentence for
conspiring to defraud the government.
Although only AZ years old, Colonel
Forbes appeared to warden w. |. Bid
die to be much older man. He limp
ed as he walked slowly through the
prison gate. A stroke of paralysis a
year ago has stopped the lively step
with which Forbes once marched as a
drummer boy in the marines and later
led signal battalion in France.
After physicians decide about the
state of the prisoners health, the war
den will decide what kind of work he
will assign to him.
"Forbes appeared to be in poor
health when the preliminary examina
ton was held" Warden Biddle de
clared. "How poor it really is car
only be determined by very thorough
/, examination. The man weighs onl,
, $50 pounds, while his normal weigh
, was around 225."
! Forbes had little to say except t.
! assure his keeper that he will "mak,
| the best of it." He informed prison
: authorities that his nearest relativ,
: is his 80 year old mother, who lives il
plymouth, Mass.

In this new George Walsh production
she reveals the ability which will bring
to her the stellar honors which have
been predicted for her.
Philo Mccullough in the role of
Percy Horton, social parasite, is one
of the best know Williams in screenland.
He has been constantly before the

to affix his signature to the document.
He was graduate of Harvard, a
wealthy man and courtly figure;

the splendor of the nobility. His man.

the colonists which affected a plain
