service Will surface remaining sections of

canyon mouth to near the forestry line.
At Salesville. just below the mouth of
the famous canyon, the Milwaukee railroad
will build a terminal. Pullman trains will

will carry park passengers from Three
Forks directly up the Gallatin canyon to
West Yellowstone, a journey of some rs
miles. The Milwaukee is advertising this
park route extensively, its 1926 business
having surpassed their expectations. The
location of the terminal at Salesville short

Wool Growers interested I'm
Economic Conferences

Changes within the sheep industry In the
state. also bring up very definite problems
which growers cannot avoid, he said. The
rapid decrease In sheep In the state dur
Ing the decade starting in 1910 was due
largely to depletion In the ranks OF the
large operators. Since 1920 these have a
very encouraging increase. Large operat-
tonors have adapted themselves to the
new conditions and have reestablished
themselves in firm positions. However,
much OF the recent increase in sheep in the
state. MIR. Taylor said, has come about
through the increase In small farm flocks.
Sheep have become accepted as a valuable
unit In diversified farming. Larger oper-
ators have a vital interest in this as II Is
certain that the gain in small flocks has
been an important factor in the general
prosperity of the sheep business in recent
years. How to maintain a sound, healthy
interest in farm flocks, how to make small
flocks profitable to the general farmer. how
TO maintain the standard of quality in the
sheep products. how TO supply small flock
owners with the necessary breeding stock.
are matters with which all sheepmen are
concerned.
To develop successful agricultural pro-
grams, these problems must be considered.
said Mr.. Taylor and sheepmen must be re-
presented at the economic conference at
which these programs are TO be formulated.

DEFINITE longtime agricul-
n tural program. in which sheep
"A men, as producers OF 15 per cent
of the agricultural income OF the
state, are vitality interested. is being
established in Montana. j. c. Taylor.
director of the Montana Extension
Service, told wool growers at the an
nual meeting of the Montana Wool
Growers association at Butte jan
uary 1920.
The state has been divided into seven
senting more or less distinct agricultural
districts, lie explained. each district repre-
conditions. TN0-d2y economic conferences
will be held in each district In February
and March. AZ these conferences special
commodity committees, made up OF repre-
sentative men and women OF the districts
will make their reports and programs Will
be drawn up from these reports.
Stockmen. farmers and business men are
Joining in this effort, Mr.. Taylor explained.
The movement was launched at a state
meeting Of several hundred representative
men aud women OF the state, Including re-
representatives. of 40 statewide ORGANIZATIONS
held at Bozeman early this month. There
is general agreement throughout the state
that the time is ripe for centralizing all
effort for agricultural development upon a
sound workable plan, said Mr.. Taylor.
Speaking Of the sheepmen's part In the
work under way. Mr.. Taylor stated that
the sheep industry is confronted with Wit
al problems. many OF which can be solved
only by uniting all interests ia the state.
He pointed out that there are more than
80 million acres OF pasture land In the state,
IS per cent Of which is outside OF farm
fences. This land is railroad land. state
and public land. national forests, private
forests and Indian lands. The wise aud
proper utilization Of these grazing areas
on a basis that will give fair returns to
stockmen and that will insure the perpet-
uation Of grazing facilities In the years 70
come, are matters of the greatest signin-
canoe to the future Of Montana, he said.
Changing conditions in rne state and ma
ton also are creating new problems for
%sheepmen, the speaker advised. The intro
duction of sugar beet production In many
parts Of the state was cited as a case In
point. Since successful sheep production
involves the profitable sale OF lamb and
mutton as well as wool, sheep met must
consider how best to utilize beet by
products and other available feeds to pro-
duce the kind of meat desired by the public.

WANTS MANAGER
FOR UNIVERSITY
CARRIER OF SANDERS INTRO
DUCES BILL ON COLLEGE
MANAGEMENT
Bill Introduced Authorizing Purchase
of Certain Pictures from Collec-
ton of l.. A. Huffman of Miles
City; Tax Title Measure in House

tBy our Helena correspondent
A business manager who shall preside
over the financial affairs of all Of the
teaching units of the University OF Mon
tana- Is proposed In IA measure by Sem
ator CARRIER of Sanders county. The bin
would amend the law relating to the
powers and duties of the state board of
education. and would authorize the APP
pointment of "a business manager, and
specify his duties and authority.
Two measures relating TO the Montana
Historical library have been introduced by
members of the house, one by Leavens, by
request, authorizing the purchase Of GER
tain pictures from the historic collection of
l.. A.. Huffman of Miles City, showing
scenes Of pioneer days in Montana. and a
bill by White, authorizing the historical
society TO adopt the use of a seal, the de-
sign Of which would be designated by the
bill.
4 lengthy bill amending the laws relat-
ing TO the taking of tax titles to real es-
tate has been introduced In the house. This
measure, which is fathered by Nelson of
Phillips and others is practically the same
measure as house bill 40 of the 10th legis-
latiye assembly. which passed both bodies
and was vetoed by Governor J. H.. Erlck-
son on the ground that 1t would entail ad
ditional cost to the land owner who desir-
ed to redeem his property, through court
costs and attorneys fees.
Otner tnHu Il rev minor changes, 10 meet
the objections put forth by Governor Eriek-
son. the bill is unchanged from its condi-
ton after 1t had ran the gauntlet Of the
judiciary committees and the committees of
whole of the two bodies two years ago. 1t
is patterned largely after the Illinois law
covering this subject.
After having been on display for many
years and having been before the eyes of
Legislators and visitors to the hall of the
house of representatives since the construc-
ton of the two wings of the capitol build
ing, the house of representatives has aw-
akened to the fact of the improper lighting
of the immense painting by the late Charles
NJ. Russell, depicting the meeting of Lewis
and Clark with the Indians in southwest
ern Montana.
The other day. in the house, Bricker, re-
publican floor leader, made a motion, which
was adopted, that the committee on state
institutions and public buildings make ar
engagements for an alteration of the lighting
effects at the speakers desk and over the
painting.
Finances for the conducting OF the Mon
tana state fair during the ensuing two
years would be provided in a bill intro
duced in the house by the appropriations
committee, setting aside $4,000 and the
earnings of the fair for each of the two
years of the biennium.
The bill, after providing for the creation
Of a revolving fund into which shall be
paid the earnings of the fair and which
shall be devoted to meeting the expenses
