PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
MAY GO SOUTH FOR
VACATION THIS YEAR

Calvin Coolidge believes in variety
One year he spends his vacation in the
Adirondacks, next he goes to the
Black Hills and now for the coming
summer he is considering the South
ern Appalachians down in North
Carolina, in the vicinity of Asheville.
Asheville and surrounding country
IS beautiful place to visit and en-
JOY. The town itself is situated in a
lovely valley between the Great
Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains and
IS the center of scenic western North
Carolina. A person who has never
been in the Southern Appalachians
has treat in store. The highest
in eastern America is near
Asheville, namely Mt Mitchell, Gill
feet high. From the SUBMITS of many
mountain tops an unbroken forest ex-
tends as far as eye can see. What a
picture when the dense forest clad
slopes take on their fall coloring. The
Great Smoky Mountains are being
considered as suitable to be made into
4 national park.

WHEAT SHIPMENTS
26,000,O00 BUSHELS IN
NORTHERN MONTANA

Estimates place the 1927 crop on
the Montana division of the Great
Northern at 3O,OO0,00O bushels or
more, with 26,000,00O bushels shipped
to date. This does not include any
crop marketed on the central Mon
tana lines from Havre and Shelby
south.
The record crop has been moved
without any shortage of cars. Plans
were made as early as last spring to
transport the wheat, such as accumu-
lating the cars where wanted and see
that they and the power was in good
working condition. The result of the
plans was that there were empties at
all times available and ready to be
loaded and when deliveries were
heaviest the cars were moved smooth
ly and without delay.

SENATE PASSES THE
SCOTT LEAVITT BILL
ON GRAZING LAND

Early development on cooperative
basis of 108,804 acres Of rough graz.
ing land, between Mizpah and Pump
kin creeks, south of Miles City, is pro-
vided for in one of Congressman Scott
Leavitt's bills which has just passed
the senate and gone to the President
for executive approval.
Of this land 1854 acres are owned
by the federal government, inter-
mingled with the rest in such a way
that use of the entire area by local
stockmen upon the range is greatly
hampered, and the value of the entire
tract therefore seriously reduced, ac-
cording to Mr.. Leavitt. At present,
authority exists for the leasing of the
lands privately owned, and belonging
to the state of Montana, but there is
no law under which the dependent
stockmen may obtain leases upon the
20 per cent owned by the United
States.
After spending two days in the
saddle, riding over the area with in
terested stockmen, Mr.. Leavitt intro
duced the bill which has just been
passed, authorizing the secretary of
the interior, on behalf of the federal |
government, to enter into cooperative |
agreements for the use Of the land.
According to Mr.. Leavitt one of the
results will be that stockmen having
ranches and hay lands on the two
creeks between which the grazing
lands lie, may acquire leases of long
enough duration to justify develop
ment of water and such range control
as will restore and increase livestock
capacity The area is but
short distance from the range live
stock experiment station at old Fort
Keogh, so that the trained men on
duty there may easily carry on studies
and compile data as to methods of [
grazing and handling the public
ranges. u
