With considerable effort the boat
was gotten up to the landing so
that it's load could drive off, but
large number of rigs were tied

able to get repairs made more

Investigation by the state and
federal government into bank rob
berries, automobile thefts and 9th
er criminal activities in north
eastern Montana will be asked by
United States Senator B. K. Wheel
er, who arrived in Great Falls
Wednesday after a stay of several
days in that part of the state.
"The situation in northeastern
Montana is serious enough to war
rant action by both the govern
ment and state authorities, Sena-
tor Wheeler declared, "and | in
tend to do what | can to cause a
complete investigation to be made.
Evidence enough was volunteered
to me while l was there to dis
close that the situation is more
grave than commonly supposed.
"There have been three or four
bank robberies and at least one
murder in that portion of Mont
ana within the last few weeks and
discovered that among a great
majority of the people there is a
genuine feeling of apprehension.
1t is a fact that business men who
declare that they never carried a
weapon before now are habitually
arming themselves as they go
about their daily affairs.
"There already has been a local
organized effort made to correct
the situation which the people rec
ognize as existing and my request
for an investigation by the state
and government will be made at
the instance of representative of
an organization which has been
active in Plentywood.
Senator Wheeler asserted that
far reaching political changes will
evidently take place in northeast
ern Montana at the 1928 general
election. He stated that public
sentiment has undergone a pro-
nounced change in many particu-
lars and that a new leadership

forward to the next election as
an occasion for correcting unsatis-

Farmers in northeastern Mont
ana are enjoying an unusual pros
perity, especially at places where
wheat growers are realizing prices
based on protein grades. The
senator found instances of a
spread of 40 cents between prices
paid for wheat at different places,
and, despite the tariff rate now in
effect and the freight differential,
many Canadian farmers are re-
ceiving more for their crop than
the Montana grower.

grower is not paid for his crop
on protein basis" said the SEN
ator, "the price is as low as 92
cents, but at other places he is
receiving as much as 40 cents a
bushel above that figure.
"There is an interesting thing
to be observed in northeastern
Montana in the fact that while
many farmers there are receiving
but 90 cents a bushel for their
wheat, their Canadian neighbors
across the line are being paid
from s1.17 to S121 This is des-

republicans claim is necessary to
bring American prices up to a
satisfactory standard.
"About ten cents of the price
realized by the Canadian grower
results from freight differential,
but even with this deducted the
Canadian grower this year is re-
ceiving more for his wheat than
the Montana farmer.

Many avenues Of escape appear

the going is mostly left to those
who have the job of enforcing the

Early Sunday morning when

warrant of arrest from Sheriff
Gordon of Cascade county asking
him to arrest and take from train
No. one L. P Jackson, described
as a tall, dark man with a kink
in his neck, wanted at Shelby,
charged with having raised a

Deputy Bannister and together
they met No. 2. Upon inquiry of
various members of the Pullman

told that the man described, ac-
companied by two others, was in
a certain state-room.
Locked, No Keys
The officers found the state

availed them nothing. All claim

USE
OF THEIR HAMMER
(Editorial)

The attack made by the Glen
dive Chamber of Commerce on all
those cooperating to further the
plans for bridge over the Mis-
souri, at Wolf Point was as unex-
pected as it is unwarranted and
selfish. The Canada to Mexico
halfway project and the plankeo
railroad bridge over the Missouri
at Snowden are all right, fine TOR
the people along that route. the
forces behind these undertakings
deserve credit for their enterprise.
The people of this city and ada
cent territory have said or done
nothing against that bridge or
route. In emergencies our people
have used the road and bridge.
But it is slightly inconVenient and
extensive to travel 16o miles to
cross the river.
In effect GIendive's attitude
means that the people of McCone,
Roosevelt, and the counties north
and south, should sit supinely by
and suffer the loss to farming and
business interests, caused by
oreat natural barrier to commerce
and development, and do nothing
to better the situation because
bridge here might take trifle OF
patronage away from a route fav-
ored by a city in another corner
of the state. The thought is sill
Iy to the point of being ridicul-
Gus. If the GIendive people will
qive the matter unbiased consld-
Grafton they will see how they
would benefit by bridge and a
circIe-WoIf Point highway to no
small extent.
Secretary TayIor's insinuation
that Mccone county is unproduc-
tive and populated mostly by
iackrabbits and coyotes is in
mighty poor taste and wide of the
facts. McCone county produced
this season in wheat alone more
than a million bushels. over hair
of this must be marketed to the
north. Mr.. Taylor is woefully un-
informed on eastern Montana.
GIendive is fine little city,
well favored, prosperous ard grow
ing, but not yet heavy enough to
tip the state or risk assuming the
role of the knocker. 1t surely can
not be true that mary Of rs c;ti-

WHEAT RUSH

MARKETING MACHINERY is
NEARLY AMPED-LOCAL
PRICES ATTRACT

Continued good weather and
roads is an inducement to grain
marketing that farmers cannot re-
sist The same condition appears
to be prevalent in most of the
wheat growing districts of the
Northwest. AS a result the ter
minal markets are being flooded
and storage and transportation fa-
cilities taxed to the utmost. The
railroads, although supposedly
we'll supplied with grain boxes,
are hardly equal to moving the big
crop in such a short space of time.
Part of the local elevators are
frequently plugged for several
hours Side tracks at all divisions
between here and Minneapolis and
Duluth are said to be filled with
wheat loads, and buyers must
wait long time for returns on
their shipments.
Affects Price
Card prices and protein prem
iums both are being crowded and
held down as a result Consider
able opinion is expressed that
farmers not compelled to market
all their grain now might do we'll
to hold a portion of it. One Of
ficial of a large concern believes
that protein prices will be higher
in January than they are now. 1t
is stated that buyers are unable
to offer as large premiums as they
have been by 10 or II cents on
the higher tests.
Buying wheat on the protein
basis promises to call for many
changes in systems, particularly
of storing. Elevators, heretofore
considered of sufficient capacity,
find themselves short of bins to
keep separate the different tests.
One buyer says that he believes
the elevator of the future should
have as many as 20 bins, each
with a capacity of a carload.
Local Markets High
The local competitive situation
has given Wolf Point the best
market in this corner of the state,
and it is stated that wheat is be-
ing trucked here from within
few miles of the Opheim branch
and from equally distant points
in other directions. This is the
result of paying the premiums

Wolf Point Is Riled
And So Is Scobey
medicine Lake WaVe)

Wolf Point citizens, especially
the town officials and the chief OF
nolice are wrought up over the in
sinuations given in an article to
the Great Falls Tribune by the
Plentvwood correspondent, in
which Plentywood accuses the bank
robbers and yeggs Of headquarter-
ing at Wolf Point.
Don't worry, Wolf Point, every
one in the state and adjoining
states know that the yeggs and
crooks seek shelter under Rodney's
protecting wing as young chickens
do under the mother. hen and ap-
parently they are receiving the
same unmolested protection.
Scobey, too, has grievance IN
that their sheriff and town police
have kent the town and county
clean of crooks, whiskey-runners,
car thieves and bawdy houses but
still they have to suffer because
this element have full sway at
Plentywood and Sheridan county.
It's tough and we sympathize
with you both. Since the thieves
have taken to robbing banks, how
ever, they are leaving cars alone,
it's only about a year ago that the
travelling men had to leave their
cars in Roosevelt county, at Froid
and make the rest of the BRAN
by train as the only stolen cars
ever recovered in Sheridan county
was the one Rodney's sheep herd
er found in straw stack.
