THE MONTANA POWER COMPA-
ny CONSERVATIVES were here a few
weeks ago and talked to all the rep
,esentative farmers and businessmen
that thew could get in touch with.
Thew wanted to know how the Mon
tana Power Company could be of
service to this part Of the state.
Tbev waited a whole day for the
Business Manager and the Editor of
the Producers News to get off the
train so that they could present
their side Of the case to them.
Thev called on all the prominent
business men and farmers they could
see in Northeastern Montana and
wanted to know how the great pub
lie utility company could be Of assist

word about them in this paper, we
have to take off our hat to their
spirit. Unlike the Great Northern
officials they are not afraid to speak
TO the public. They do not sneak

wrath Of indignant citizens. Like
true MOntanans they are prepared
