RAILROAD CHIEFS
DISCUSS MERGER

Ralph Budd, president of the Great
Northern Railway company, and
Charles DOnnelly, president of the
Northern Pacific Railway company,
at New York, recently gave out the
following statement:
'The Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific have been cOnsid-
ering for several years the question
of still further unifying their inter-
ests, but consideration of the matter
has not yet been completed. The
plans now under discussion do not
contemplate, as has been stated, the
Establishment of a mere holding com-
pany but, in addition to control
through stock ownership, look to
leasing the lines of the Northern
companies to a single operating car
rier which it is contemplated will
also directly operate the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle, a property al
ready jointly controlled through stock
ownership. Such unified operation
will affrd exceptional opportunities
for improved service and for substan-
tial economies promising to improve
the aggregate net earnings of the rail-
roads in the Northwestern rate region,
which has made the poorest showing
of any rate region in the country.
According to the plans now under
consideration, the operations of the
Burlington, which is also controlled
by the Northern companies through
equal ownership Of over 81 per cent
of the stock, will remain separate as
at present But the vesting in a sin
gle control Of the entire 81 per cent
Of the Burlington stock will be IA
vorable to the more decisive handling
Of the development policies Of the
Burlington than has been practicable
when each Northern company voted

TO INVESTIGATE
PRICE GASOLINE

HELENA. Another investigation
of the oil industry is proposed in
resolution, introduced by Bretzke,
HOdgkiss, Burns, Nelstad, Johnson
and Dwello and adopted by a unani-
nous vote in the house, calling for
an investigation of the ~"unreasOn-
able" price of gasoline in Montana
and asking that a legislative com
mittee of three be appointed to MAKE
the inquiry.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, the oil industry is rap.
idly expanding in this state and the
manufacture and compromising of
gasoline has developed to such an ex-
tent that there is now nearly as much
gasoline refined in Montana as is
used in the state, and,
"Whereas, we, the members of the

State of Montana, believe that the
price of gasoline in Montana is ex-
~cessive and unreasonable as COM

Angeles, not only "gOt religion
but determined to ease his con-
science by paying a fine, never

more than six years ago.
According to Detweiler's letter,
in 1920 he was at Kalispell and.
although a nonresident, hunted
for a few days without taking out
a license. He asked the state
game warden what penalty might
be assessed for the Offense. The
official replied that the statute
provided a fine of from SIS to
$500, or six months in Jail, or
both. A few days later along
came Detweiler's check for $25.

SHEEP PRODUCTION
MAJOR ENTERPRISE
Marked Increase Since 1920,
President Atkinson Tells
Wool Growers at Butte

While Montana and other western
states are just beginning to find
themselves in the production of crops
and certain kinds of livestock, the
sheep industry established itself def
nitely into the production systems of
the western country many years ago,
and it is possible that sheep produc-
ton will always be a major enter
prise here, DR.. Alfred Atkinson, pres
ident Of Montana State college, told
wool growers at the annual conven-
ton of the National Wool Growers
association at Butte last week.
DR.. Atkinson pointed out that the
sheep population of Montana had
dropped considerably since 1910 when
the influx of hOmesteaders cut down
open ranges, but that since 1920 there
has been a marked increase due large
ly to the gain in small farm flOcks.
He explained hat while there would
always be a place for large sheep
ranches it also seemed that small
flocks will grow in Importance.
The world situation in sheep pro-
duction seems to be favorable, DR.. At
kinson explained, since production
still is considerably below the high
point of 10 or Is years ago. In 1923
, there were approximately 65 million
less sheep in the world than at the
time of maximum production. The
United States also is considerably be-
low it's former high point in sheer
: production although there has been &
gradual increase since 1920, he said.
Discussing the Importance of the
: present effort to develop agriculture

y of Montana, ]. G. Taylor, director O.
d the Montana Extension Service point
a ed out to sheepmen at the meeting
e Of the Montana Wool Growers asso
citation that there are between so an
so million acres of pasture land j
l. Montana and that approximately 5
per cent of this land is national, stat
or railroad land which is available 70
e grazing purposes. These facts pre-
h sent problems which are of Over-shaC

BOY SCOUTS Will
CELEBRATE FEB. 8
To Observe 18th Anniversary of
BOyhOOd's Greatest
Organization

Seventeen years Of steady progress
from the smallest beginnings will be
celebrated by the Boy Scouts of
America when it's birthday exercises
are held throughout the United
States in Anniversary week, Febru-
airy 6 to II. The seventeenth birth
day falls on February 8. On that
date, in 1910, William D. BOyce, Chi
cago publisher, filed in Washington
the incorporation papers of the Boy
Scouts Of America.
The first Scout troops under the
new organization were formed a few
days later. Now there are more than
10000 troops with 100000 boys and
volunteer leaders identified with the
movement. They have been describ-
ed as constituting the greatest group
ever united in the interest Of boy
hood.
Every Boy Scout council in the
United States-there are now more
than 900 of them-will hold birthday
exercises during the week. Many
are organizing features of elaborate
pagentry suitable to commemorate
the event and to illustrate not only
what Scouting has done for boyhOoC
but what it may accomplish in raising
higher ideals of citizenship.

OF DEMANDS and MARKETS
help TO SOLVE some farm PROBLEMS
NOT YET AN EXACT CIENC BUT RAPIDLY BECOMING
MORE RELIABLE, ASSERTS DEAN ]. M.
AMLT OF M. S. c..

has not yet become an exact science,
said the dean, but "outloOk reports
and forecasts are becoming more and
more exact and reliable. He pointed
out that the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the Montana
Extension service are now issuing
frequent publications which are of
great aid to farmers in adjusting
their production to probable demands.
The greatest risk that farmers must
assume, said Dean Hamilton, is the
risk of falling prices. The failure
properly to judge the future has been
responsible for the greatest losses in
farming as in other lines of business.
The remedy lies in being able to make
accurate forecasts. The forecast &C
curacy depends upon the ability Of
economists to discover the basic con
ditions which are responsible for
price fluctuations.
Great progress has been made in
the discovery of these basic cOndi-
lions, said the dean. He cited a
large packing house which bases its
prices and operations on forecasts as
much as 10 months in advance. The
success of the business depends upon
the ability of the economists for the
company to peer into the future, he
said.
The success of %fOrecasting in help
ing the farmer, said the speaker, de-
ponds first upon the completeness
and accuracy of the facts on supply
and demand; second, upon the proper
analysis and presentation of these
facts; and third, upon so interpreting
the information that it may be ap
piled to the farming business. With
