For years numerous forwarding
organizations have been developed
throughout the country for the more
economical and efficient handling of
various commodities in moving them
from one point to another.
These forwarding organizations
have gotten their systems down to a
point where they cover the transpor-
tation of virtually every commodity
with the exception of livestock. That
IS, when the shipper has a small guam
tity of freight in some particular
section he may take it to a designated
concentration point and have it
pooled with other small shipments
forwarding to the point which he
wishes to reach.
In the forwarding of livestock from
small producers, this plan has been
worked out to some extent through
the medium of local shipping associ-
atlOns and other endeavors along this
line but to date there has been no
concerted movement working toward
a definite goal.
Activities along this line are of pri-
mary importance to the small pro-
ducer of livestock as it has been
proved that the small producer does
net always fare satisfactorily at the
hands of the country buyer and that
he seems to have been pretty much
lett out Of the picture in the or
ganiZation Of various marketing as
SociatiOns. It is essential that this
class of producer have an outlet for
his livestock production upon a parity
with larger producers and this is not
only Of Importance to the small pro-
ducer himself but to the entire in
dustry and all channels through
which livestock and its products pass
down to the ultimate consumer.
This is true because of the constant
trend toward the development of a
supply of meat food animals from
small producers, rather than having
the production in the hands of a few
large operators as has been the case
particularly in the West, in years
gone by. Future plans for marketing
and distribution of livestock must be
built around the small producer and
the sooner this is recognized gener-
ally and followed out the quicker ar
adequate organization for the handl-
.ng Of livestock originating in this
manner will come about.
1t IS understood that a plan is nov
being formulated for the bringing
about of a livestock forwarding or
ganization which will be designed t.
cover the territory lying west of thu
Rocky mountains. In its setup, n,

1927 FARM wage
HITS HIGH Level

The average wage paid to farm
laborers for 1927 maintained for the
year a slightly upward trend and
reached the highest level since the
peak year of 1920, according to the
1927 Montana Farm Review which is
now being prepared for publication
by the state-federal departments of
agriculture.
Since the decided drop Immediately
following the 1920 high point, the
trend has been slowly upward, the
Farm Review will say. In October,
1927, the average wage per month,
with board. paid to the Montana farm
labOrer was S60.25. This figure COM
pares with $3.50, the wage paid in
October, 1926, and $3.50, the wage
paid in October, 1925.
The average monthly wage for
October this year, with board, for the
eleven western states was S56.39 and
for the United States was $35.68.
Material for the Farm Review is
gathered throughout the crop year
from correspondents living in differ.
ent parts of the state who send reg.
ular weekly and monthly reports
They report average farm wages fol
their communities quarterly, in Janu
ary, April, July and October, anC

SYNOPSIS

Enrico de Solano y Vasquez, proud
and romantic Spaniard, claims in 1776
for King Phillip of Spain the land
surrounding San Francisco bay. The
Vasquez hacienda is erected on the
broad acres of the hills overlooking
the bay, and life moves along in the
indolent and carefree manner of Old
Spain. In 1848 two grandsons and
their mother are the last of the proud
line. The discovery of gold disturbs
their peaceful existence. The eldest
grandson is cruelty slain. His young.
er brother, Don Hernandez, now the
sole male survivor of the Vasouez
line, avenges his brothers death.

WESTERN RAILROAD.
CLAIM IS REJECTED
Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Valuation Is Cut by
Commission.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
| Rejecting a claim of the railroad
for a figure OF 1000 900. the Inter
state Commerce Commission yesterday
fixed a final valuation for rate-making
purposes of $579.o57.59S upon the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road as OF June, 1916. The decision
represents the commissions last word
as to the property accounts Of one of
the country's largest railroads, made
at the end of 10 Years of investigation
and controversy.
The commissions tentative valua-
ton of S566. 296. 0S4 was protested by
the Santa Fee, which contended for
the $3.50, 100000 figure. but in today's
finding practically all of the roads
claims for an increase were rejected.
On the valuation date the Santa Fe
had outstanding capital issues OF 1884,.
924.55S. while its book investment ac-
count, representing the corporations
value of its railroad system. was
1894. 1928.
Explaining It's findings, the commits.
sion said the total represented IAN or
ganiZed, developed, we'll maintained
and seasoned property in successful
operation as going concern" Though
the Santa Fe had in cash in it's treas
ury on the valuation date $42 ,553,671,
the commission held that a cash bal
ance of SIS. 664500 would be an ade.
quate sum for working capital and in
cluded only this total in the property
valuation allowed.
1t was thought the Santa Fe vaiua-
ton. along with those of other rail.
roads. would be carried into court
for a final contest over the principles
which the commission has adopted. In
making final the Santa Fe figures the
commission adopted the price levels
of 1914 as a guide and refused to con.
cede that the much higher. levels of
prices in years subsequent to 1914
should be allowed to affect the valua.
ton of railroads.
Not only will the Santa Fe figure be
used in determining the rates which
the road and its neighbors will be al
lowed to charge, but il will serve also
as mark to enable the Government
to recapture excess earnings. Should
the valuation announced today give
the Atchison an earning in excess of s
per cent per annum upon its total, the
Government will claim one-half of the
excess, and 1t is over this claim that
litigation is anticipated.

Judging of cattle at the Minnesota
State Fair and Northwest Dairy Ex-
position, September to 10, at Ham,
line, will begin earlier than in former
years, owing to the longer time re-
quired to pass upon the various en-

judges, clerks and exhibitors at work
until late evening. Hereafter cattle
judging will begin at 9 a. m.
Junior Dairy Show calves, repre-
senting winners of county contests
throughout the state, will be judged
by Frof. j. P. Ewes of Des Moines,
Iowa, beginning at a. M, Monday,
September 5. Judging of Polled
Shorthorn, Red Polled and Ayrshire
cattle will start at l p. M, Monday.
Placing of Holsteins and Brown
Swiss will begin Tuesday morning,
and judging of Shorthorns, Milking

be completed during the morning
with judging of Shorthorns, Here
fords, Aberdeen-Angus and Guern-
seys during the afternoon. Fat cat
tie will be placed Thursday morning.
This new schedule at Hamline
means not only program of practi-
cally continuous cattle judging COW

WARNS MERCHANTS
AGAINST SWINDLERS

Merchants are warned that man
working a draft floating swindle is
believed to be planning a tour of SOU
thern Minnesota as a field for his
operations. Word of the defalcator
was received by Chief of Police Jake
Hilgers recently, says the Mankato
Free Press. He has been known in
Indiana and Illinois as Goebel Fan
min or G. H. Flannery and is wanted
by the sheriff of Louisa, Kentucky.
His method of working is said to
be to deposit a worthless draft in a
local bank and writing checks against
it. He is said to have perpetuated a
number of such swindles in Illinois,
Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa and Ne
braska, being last heard of in the vi
cinity of the Black Hills.
