ROOSEVELT HIGHWAY
BEST ACROSS STATE

Missoula.-With more than 300
miles of graveled road, the Roose-
welt highway in northern Montana
offers better travelling most of
the way han southern routes,
such as the Yellowstone trail, E.
M. Hulce, bureau of public roads
engineer, said on return from an
inspection trip.
Construction jobs are now be-
ing completed over 20 miles be-
tween Wolf Point and Glasgow
while three other jobs are start
ing. They will provide graveled
highways from Poplar to Nashua.
The stretch from Glacier Park
to Cut Bank is graveled, as is all
of Toole county. The road from
Rudyard to Dodson is also gravel
ed. Only from Dodson to Nashua
and across Liberty county is there
lack of improved highways.
Engineer A. c. Clark, bureau of
roads, announces the Sheep
Creek road on the Y-G Bee line
will be re-advertised with estima-
ties to be opened at Missoula
offices Aug. Is. Both Of the bids
received were 20 per cent OF more
than engineers estimates.

500 Combines In Use
Throughout Montana

BOHEMIAN, Aug. 15.-As a re-
suit of the efforts of farmers of
Montana to cut production costs
and increase efficiency in wheat
production it is estimated that
more than 500 combine harvester
threshers are in operation in the
state during the present harvest
season. Since grain threshed with
the dual purpose machine is TAX
en- directly from the field to ele-
vators, loading stations or storage
bins, the Introduction of the com
bine has created a number of new
problems in connection with the
shipping, handling and storing of
grain.
Probably the greatest problem,
according to the extension service,
is the one of handling wet or I'M
evenly matured grain. Wheat with
more than IA per cent moisture
cannot be handled without danger
If spelling and reduction of grade.
Farmers are advised to have grain
.ested for moisture content before
cutting with the combine harvest

MOBILES VISIT FRIENDS

Dan Noble, formerly extension
agent in Roosevelt county, accom-
panied by Mrs. Noble, spent a few
days in the county this week and
we're guests at the A. c. Corbin
home at Poplar. They drove from
Poplar today, accompanied by Mrs.
Corbin and Miss Dorothy Cosier,
and called on Wolf Point friends.
Mr.. Noble is one of the leading
extension men at Lewistown. He
is greatly pleased to learn of the
generally good crop in this sec
ton. He says he believes Mon
tana farming has reached a point
where good farming, which in
cludes right methods and pure
seed, practically insures at least
a fair crop any year.

Capt. Edward Blount, skipper of the
Tidal Basin Swan Boat, Is puzzled by
the mysterious disappearance from his
trim craft of the beautiful bird which
sat on the prov and pointed the way
for each cruise.
This metallic mascot, for which the
good ship was named and which was
it's most distinctive marking, migrate
to points unknown some time over the
week end.
Sunday night Capt. Blount anchored
his popular craft well out in the Tidal
Basin, patted the big white swan af-
fectionate1y on the neck and rowed
ashore to close up business for the
week. He secured the rowboat to the
wharves and locked the oars up in the
boathouse before departing for home.
