Another railroading record was
hung up last week when the longest
train ever handled on the Northern

for the west. The train contained 125
cars, and with the engine and caboose,
measured nearly 500 feet over a mile
in length
No passing track on the line be-
tween Laurel and Livingston was long
enough to accommodate the string of

LEAVITT WRITES OF
TREASURE STATE IN
NATIONAL REPUBLIC

One of the latest to contribute to
The National Republic is Hon. Scott
Leavitt, the able congressman from
Montana, who has an interesting
article in the current issue of the
magazine under the title, Montana,
the Treasure State" After writing
of the states interesting history and
scenic beauty, Mr.. Leavitt tells some
thing of the commemorative natural
resources. Of its agriculture, he says !:
"In the pioneer days, the livestock
business followed the discovery of
the Mines Today the livestock in
dustry still flourishes and becom-
ing more and more closely identified
with agriculture, is the third indus
try in the state. The long g-horn of
the Texas trail is replaced by the
white-faced Hereford. Over million
head are on the Montana plains and
a fourth as many milk animals on the
farms. Of sheep there are almost
three million now. Only two other
states top Montana in the production
of sheep and wool, and they but
slightly.
"The growth and development of
agriculture in every state has been
through experiment, difficulties and
failures to the success ultimately
achieved. 1t has been so with Montana.
1t has come into commanding place
in the raising Of wheat through learn
ing the lesson of proper methods.
Drouth in the taking of it's bitter toll
has been teaching the summer fall
low and furrow drill systems and the
methods best to employ. No state is
ever without it's percentage of fail
ure, but in Montana in 1925 on 6,OOO,-
600 acres, farm failure was reduced to
five per cent"

CLOSE SEASON ON
UPLAND GAME BIRDS

Helena.-M Montana's state fish and
game commission declared the season
closed for the year on all upland game
birds, when the following motion was
passed unanimously at the quarterly
meeting at the state capitol
Because Of general unfavorable
reports on the early hatch, the state
fish and game commission hereby de-
clares closed season in the entire
state on all upland game birds to pre-
vent undue depletion and distinctions,
which would require years to correct"
Hence, ducks and geese will be the
only game birds available to Montana
hunters this year.
Action was taken by the commits
sion after thorough investigation
conducted by Chairman Thomas M.
Marlowe of Missoula, game warden
Robert H. Hill and every member of
the state board. Hundreds of letters
have been pouring into state head
quarters from sportsmen and country
clubs urging that the season be closed
because of the bird shortage. In the
canvas conducted by Mr.. Marlowe
among rod and gun clubs, in the Sc
counties of the state he received 49
replies with clubs in 36 counties fav-
orlng with closed season and bird
conservation.

0. H. P. Shelley, publisher of the Red
Lodge, Montana, News, appeared be-
fore the directors of the Commercial
club at monday luncheon here today
In the interest of the proposed Red
Lodge-Cooke City road, which will run
through Montana and Wyoming and
will reach the northeast corner of
Yellowstone Park. A report had been
circulated in Sheridan that 78 per cent
of the road was in Wyoming and that
it would paralleP the present Cody
entrance and that Wyoming forest
funds would be used in the construc-
tion of the road. Mr.. Shelley denied
these charges He stated that, the ap-
preparation Of $1,144,000 would come
as direct appropriation from the
U. S. Treasury and the building of
the road is national necessity as it
will be built primarily for the purpose
of relieving Yellowstone Park of COM
mercial hauling, as mines of Cooke
City, located just outside of Yellow
stone Park, had no outlet except
through the park at the present time.
He stated that the real purpose of the
road was not to open up another en-
trance to Yellowstone Park, but to
make an outlet for the mining inter
ests of Cooke City, adding that at the
present time the ore had to be trucked
