continued, when one

ships. The Valley Is
cnf1 y4tively u~ndeveloped. and the
future wiz see q tremendous in
cFeasesM course"
The real necessity for a local port
comes through Mexican shipments
that viii travel out Of here, he ex-
plained. II Is estimated that So. 900
tons OF ore and minerals are ship
ped monthly, 10000 tons going
through the Laredo port OF entry
and thence out Of Corpus Christi.
The balance is routed TO Tampico.
Rates Cheaper
by dredging a 25-foot channel
to Brownsville. practically the en-
tire $4,000 tons will float out OF
this port. The large majority OF
the tonnage out Of Mexico is ship
ped from the Monterrey territory,
and a study OF the map will reveal
that this section Is approximately
200 miles closer that Tampico, max
ing the freight rates decidedly
cheaper"
Mr.. Blanton explained why Cor
pls Christi obtains 10000 tons a
month IN this manner: During
cotton shipping season, unusually
low rates are given on ore and lead
and the metals obtained By offer
ing these rates are used as ballast
for the cotton ships. The distance
from Monterrey to Corpus Is about
tbs same as from Monterrey to
Tampico. With a port in Browns
Vile. this tonnage will be diverted
here.
Ores to Europe
The majority OF mineral will be
shipped 10 Europe. with some going
10 New York and other American
ports in the north.
Even II the Mexican lines lower
freight rates in order to compete
with the VALLEY. there will be other
features faYoring this section that
viii make European ships prefer to
touch here Blanton said.
Most Comes Here
AT the present total Of tonnage,
Mexico ships from the Monterrey
territory alone around $4,000 tons
a year. or i248. 000, 900 pounds.
Brownsville will get most OF this.
This Mexican business will bring
added prosperity 10 the Valley. and
will result in a rapid growth. So
you see that after all Brownsville
Is the central point for a Valley

tied throughout the far Northwest
where light precipitation was also
more or less general within the last
"a hours. Temperatures were rather
low in the plains states this morning
and somewhat subnormal practically
throughout the southern and east

IMPORTANT MATTER
BEFORE STATE VOTERS

Plans for making an active cam
paign along the Northern tier OF
counties and the main line of the
Great Northern railway, from the
mountains east, in behalf of the
bond issue and millage tax meas
ures submitted to the voters at
the 1880 election were completed
this week by the organization of
the Northern Montana committee
to supplement work done by the
state executive committee of the
Millage Tax and Bond issue cam
paign.
Representatives of ten north
western counties are on the COM
mittee, which has secured R. G..
Linebarger, former president of
the state press association, as
secretary, with headquarters in
Havre, where is located the North
ern Montana college, a unit of the
University of Montana.
The Northern Montana commit
tee will supplant the work done
by the state executive committee
of which w. M. Johnston of Bill
lings is chairman, and John Dex-
ter of Bozeman, campaign man
ager.
Old Measure Expires
The two referendum measures
provide for a millage tax of three
mills to supplant the tax voted
ten years ago for the support of
the university and which expires
this year and authorized the leg
islature to issue bonds for the
construction of needed buildings
at the over-crowded state penal
and other institutions to the ex-
tent of three million dollars.
Members of the Northern Mon
lana committee feel confident the
measures will be assured of a big
majority in Northern Montana
when the voters get the facts.

camps held so far this year and
that the cooperation given by

attending the camps was espec-
tally pleasing.

gave a stirring address that was
listened to with interest by the
entire audience. AS this is given
in full elsewhere in this issue,
no attempt will be made to give
a resume of the talk. 1t was pre-
viously announced that the main
address of the day would be made
by State Commander Harold De-
Pue of Sidney, but he was forced
to cancel tht engagement about
two days before Memorial Day
on account of illness, and Wolf
Point was very fortunate in hav-
ing a speaker who could step in
to the breach on such short no
tice and make so able an address
as did Rev. Johnson. The exer-
cises were broadcast so that
those unable to be present could
enjoy them.
Following the program at the
Libety the procession, led by the
National Guard, marched to Green
wood cemetery where a brief but
appropriate program was carried
out.
In keeping with the day the
American Legion had decorated
the lamp posts with flags, while
flags were flying from the pole
in the park and the newly erect
ed pole in Greenwood cemetery.

TEXT OF RESOLUTION ADOPTED
AT FARMERS UNION CONVENTION

WHEREAS, Knowing that the United States Chamber of Com

CASH ADVANCES
ON THE new CROP

The amount of cash advances
to farmers on their 1880 wheat
crop by the Federal Farm Board
will vary and will depend on
market conditions at the time ap-
plications for loans are made,
This new policy will replace the
pegged prices established to han.
die the 1929 crop.
Loans on the new crop will be
made on a percentage value de-
termined from time to time by the
Federal Farm Board thereby max
ing the varying wheat price the
loan value basis.
AS all of the 1880 wheat crop
advances will be made through
the Farmers National Grain cor
poration which is composed of rec
ognized c~ooperatives, the govern
ment will remain in the back
ground in regard to the admins
tration of the corporations affairs.
Only qualified members of affiI-
lated c~ooperatives will be eligible
to receive loans and interference
in private business will be avoid
ed whenever possible.
A statement issued by the
Farmers National Grain corpora
ton says:
1T is contemplated that boz
rowers cooperative associations)
will arrange for primary loans
with Federal intermediate Credit
Banks, Commercial banks or other
similar financing institutions.
ION a proper showing to that
effect, the Farmers National
Grain corporation will make sup
Elemental loans in such amount or
percentage of value as may be de-
termined from time to time by the
Federal Farm Board"
Further instructions stressed in
the loan program are that as
far as possible cooperative asso-
Citations should have recourse to
the customary sources Of COM
mercial credit" and that blanks
or other financial institutions 'as
primary lenders must look to
specific collateral for repayment
of their advances"
In the making of loans the fol
lowing qualifications will be con-
sidered:
Analysis of associations fl
nancial statement, including rec
ords of associations operations
as to cost.
Examination of associations
record of performance as indicat-
ed by:
"A-Trend of volume of bust
ness handled and membership.
"B-Operating policies and prac-
tees, especially with reference to
setting up reserves and building
a sound financial structure.
Investigation of economic con.
ditions surrounding enterprise"
This statement was given out
because there vas uncertainty as
to what steps a stakeholder must
take in order to obtain loans. Ia
remove such doubts and facilitate
the orderly handling of loans, the
executive committee has develop
ed a loan program for the corpor-
alton which is now in effect, hav-
ing received the APPROVAL of the
Farm Board.
In addition to the supplemental
grain loans three other types
Of loans are also discussed. These
include effective merchandising
loans, physical facility loans and (
loans for educational purposes.
