Commenting on the results shown

911.39 of equalling the cost OF ma
terials used in the manufacturing Of

values as used in the closing lnven-
tories at the mill from month to

paid for the wheat by the mill. A
fair market price is also allowed Tor
the mill feed extracted from the
wheat, which averages S24 per ton,
. instead of S21 per ton, which was
the actual sale price Of their feed
during the time the flour was man
ufactured.
s'Ihe freight from Grand Forks
to Minneapolis amounts to ~ cents

wheat cost, wheat prices used be-
ing on the basis Of Minneapolis.
The freight from Minneapolis to
Boston amounts to Sc cents rcr bar
rel. In comparing the price re-
ceiycd f. @. b. Boston and the local
price quotations it will be noticed
that the flour was sold t. o. b. Bos-
ton at from one to two dolls S less
Der barrel than it could be bought

kota.
.sAdding the manufacturing and
overhead cost Of 81 per barrel, and
interest on construction bonds OF 30
cents per barrel, which was the av-
eraRe for the year 1926, it makes
the sale Of the $4,000 barrels OF

BLIZZARD SWEEPS
GALLATIN VALLEY
Raw East Wind Drives Fine
Snow Before It-Mercury
TumbIes to 5 Below

Preceded by OminOus signs Of a
drastic weather change, a healthy
little blizzard swept down upon BOze-
man and the Gallatin Wednesday and
sent the mercury tumbling to well
below the zero mark.
Starting from the northwest, a cold,
raw wind worked around until it was
blowing from the east and carrying
clouds of fine snow before it. During
the afternoon the snow drifted badly
and until long after midnight it hOwled
around corners and sent pedestrians
scurrying to cover. Thursday morn
ing the thermometer stood at five be-
low and snow was still falling, al
though the wind had moderated con-
siderably.
Indications Thursday afternoon
were that the cold snap would con-
tinue. Reports from Miles City re-
corded 18 degrees below zero; from
Havre, &c below. It was warmer in
Yellowstone Park Wednesday, the
maximum being reported at 20 above
I and the minimum at zero.

No Arrests Made

UnscrupulOus jOyriders caused a
night of worry for P. E. Tinker of
Butte, representative of Howard.

tributinlg concern, last Sunday when
they stole his new HupmObile straight

and drove it 123 miles before aban.

avenue south.
Mr.. Tinker had just driven in from
Butte and went to the pcstoffice tC
mail letter. He was inside only 9
few minutes, but when he returned
to the street his machine was gone
The matter was reported to the au,
thorities and a search, that continued
throughout the night, was begun.
Early Monday morning Mr.. Tinker
and not the sheriff as was previousl.
reported, located the missing automo

The simple ceremony took place on
a pole Immediately in the rear of the
telephone office at % Tracy avenue
north, and was witnessed by a num-
Der Of persons. A Bozeman photOg-
rapher snapped a picture of the his
torical event.

per wire, and the total cost Of the
project is said to have been about
$38,000,0O0. Seven hundred fifty
miles of the line, which cost 81, $780,
900 and required the labor of 1000
men, are in Montana, and were built
in record-breaking time.
With the completion of the prof

Der of circuits been increased, bur
the most modern transmission equip
