Pay Twelve Cent Tariff And
Still Get Higher Prices
In Canada

~ N@ N
dian line getting higher prices for
their products when marketed in Can
ada? This question has been asked
by producers and wheat buyers and
answered in a pamphlet published in
Great Falls last October.
The article was entitled "Wheat
Prices in Montana and Canada" and
is printed here in part for farmers
who want information on the subject
Farmers of Toole county r ex-
porting wheat to Canada" paying a
tariff of IL cents a bushel and gett-
ing higher prices than they could re-
ceive south of the international boun-
dairy line, according to recent news
dispatches.
In 1927 the writer found growers
in Blaine and Phillips counties doing
the same thing. A letter from one
Of these farmers, date January a,
1923, read as follows:
I'm reply to your letter Of the S0th
wish to state that l have hauled
wheat to Canada for some years past,
l am living II miles from Canadian
elevators and so miles from United
States points.
1.-THE price of wheat during the
time l have been selling acros the
boundary has been from 10 to 25
cents a bushel higher than on this
side, but we pay twelve cents duty
and the Canadian buyers are some
what harder on grades, usually one
to two grades below this side, which
makes from 4 to 10 cents on a bushel.
"My grain weighed 60 pounds to
the bushel this year, but due to DAM
aged kernels by hail, received No 2
and as yet they pay no premium for
protein test.
II find that after paying the duty
and getting a lower grade, it amounts
to about the same as No. / price on
this side, and w a 80 mile haul
which means a saving of Is cents
per bushel.
Tariff Raised in 1924
Montana farmers have been tolc
that a AZ cent tariff on wheat would
insure them higher prices than their
Canadian Neighbors. Six years age
a survey by the tariff commission
showed that costs of producing wheat
in Canada werer lower than those ir
in the United States . As q result OF
this investigation President Coolidge
raised the tariff from 80 cents to AZ
cents per bushel on Mach 7, 1924.
Now comes a situation when Mon
tam farmers can export wheat intt
Canada and pay the Canadians a Il
cent duty. What are the condition.
which make Canadian prices for thu
same kind of wheat higher than Mon
tana prices?
While there are those that believe
that these conditions are the result
of manipulation by large business in
terests and that the situation can b
remedied by federal legislation, it i
apparent that there r certain nat
ural market forces which play larg'
part in such price differences. Bus
mess men and farmers can well at
ford to study the situation and en-

side which increased after a time, and
on January 4th his father again brot

KUrlSOn Store
nOuflOOkSOld

Karl j. HARRISON of Outlook has sold
his large general store in that town
to Harry G. Prescott who took over
the business on January LIST.
Mr.. Prescott is we'll known in Out
look, where for several years he was
connected with the N. j. Nelson store,
and his friends are legion in the Out
look territory.
That the Karlson store will con-
tinue to prosper under the new man
agement is a forgone conclusion.
Mr.. Karlson has not divulged his
future plans, and altho he is heavily
interested in farming in the Outlook
territory, it is understood that, for
time at least, he intends to make his
home in a balmier climate.

Pheasants Suffer Because Of
Severe Weather-Came
Preserves Planned

At the meeting of the Isaac Walton
League held at County agent Fer
gusOn's office Monday night, amongst
many interesting matters discussed
was one which is Of paramount i'm
portance to every lover of bird life
in this territory. This was the fact
that owing to the deep snow and
lever weather our game birds, who
winter here, are becoming extinct
through lack of food. The greatest
sufferers being the Chinese, Hungar-
ian and native pheasants, which are
dying by the hundredes according to
reports brought to the League Off
GERS and to Deputy State Game
Warden, E. M. Krost. Only immed-
late relief by scattering food in the
places ~frequented by these birds will
save some of them from death
The League asks every citi-
zen of this county to protect the re-
naming flocks by throwing out
grain screenings or ar-hreshed
wheat or barley straw IN Tie spots
they frequent, and also to report to
the League or to Fred Morck at
Plentywood about the presence of any
Of these birds and how they are far
ing.
The State Game Commission have
gone to considerable expense in get
ting these game birds propogated
here and it should be our duty to as
sist this body as much as possible by
putting out a little food for the birds
and also by reporting to the League
or Mr.. Morck, at Plentywood.
If no other means can be provided
for caring for these birds, the League
will attempt to do this. The State
Game Commission have designated
several feeding places at this time,
but hundreds of birds never reach
these places; being scattered all over
the County, and some means must be
used to save as many as possible, and
it will be humane and praiseworthy
on the part Of our citizens to do what
they can to protect these birds from
humiliation by feeding them a little
now and then.
Bird Preserves
The Isaac Walton League also dis
cussed the matter Of creating several
game preserves in this County, not
only as hunting grounds, but also per-
manently protected feeding and
breeding grounds. These sites will be
recommended to the state Game Com
mission for their final consideration.
Several of the High Schools in
Sheridan County have been supplied
with subscriptions to the Outdoor
American Magazine, which is the Of
ficial organ Of the Isaac Walton
League.
Essay Contest
They will also put on a contest in
the immediate future for the best
essays On the subject "Why l should
become a member of the Isaac Wal
ton Legue," and several valuable
prizes will be distributed to the win
ners. Details of this contest will be
given in a later issue of the Herald.
We understand Supt. w. E. Stegner
will head the committe that will take
charge of this essay contest.

OWNERS
TO BE
in CITY LIMITS
Effort Made To Change City
Boundary Line Meets
Disapproval

Questioning the legality Of the pro-
ceedings of the City Council Of Plen-
tywood to incorporate a number of
parcels and tracts of land contiguous
to the City limits, four actions were
commenced in District Court here on
january 7th, by the following parties
as Plaintiffs: Anna Nelson, L. E. Rue,
A. Riba, and Riba Land Company,
with the City Of Plentywood, together
with its Council, as defendants.
Last October the City council pass
ed a resolution declaring it's inten-
ton to change the boundary lines Of
the city limits to include the lands
Of the above named plaintiffs, as well
as lands belonging to several other
parties. This resolution was declar-
ed carried upon the presentation Of
petitions signed by a number of Plen-
tywood residents who had lately &C.
quired title, by gift, to tracts Of land
in an addition which is referred to as
the Fair Ground tracts.
The plaintiffs set forth that the
lands in question r either agri.
cultural or ~pasturage in character
u~nplatted and unoccupied by any resi-
dents, and not used for other pur-
poses than for farming or pasturage
They want these lands to remain as
country property and not subject tc
city taxation, and asks that the &C.
tions of the City council be declared
set aside by the Court.
Attorney Howard M. Lewis is coun-
sci for all of the above plaintiffs.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
. ON PROFIT TAKING
Market Acts Well Despite
Heavy Realizing After
Advance.
=, BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

WALL STREET, N. Y, October u.s.
The momentum of the advance in stocks
which developed Thursday and in
creased on Friday was somewhat
checked today by profit-taking sales
and a natural disposition on the part
of the bear interest to put out moderate
new lines, in view Of the recent sub
Stantial gains.
On the whole, however, the market
acted well, and while there were q
number of soft spots and easing tend
encies in the railroad group most con-
Spicuous this week, q majority OF issues
held q good part of their gains until
shortly before the closing, when there
was an increase in offerings among the
leading shares.
Since the low level of prices was es-
tablished a few days ago, U. S. Steel
has advanced 8 points, Westinghouse
American Can IS, General Motors 4l2,
Public Service of New Jersey 612,
Standard Oil of New Jersey ga, New
York Central and Anaconda about 3
points. A fair portion of this recovery
was accomplished in the opening trad
ing today.
Additional statements from leaders in
industry. emphasizing the probability Of
an early turn in business, helped TO
SJADlllH6 Ifle IIldTkcb dLlu W CAACOuA csc
further investment buying. Equally
important has been the withdrawal OF
stocks being offered for sale by in
vestors who had lost confidence in Q
market situation that, for nearly six
weeks, had shown striking inability to
rally. It is fair to assume that the
important utteranceS made this week
from many quarters conceded with the
knowledge that the stock market had
been cleared of a number of embarrass-
ing situations that were the main cause
of its decline.
The cessation of the civil war in
Brazil, with promise Of more stable po-
Htical conditions in the republic, all
though not without immediate compile
cations in the commodity market, was
another favorable influence today.
The volume of trading was quite
heavy at the start and in the first half
hour exceeded that In the same period
in the two previous sessions, but 1t
tapered off later when prices became
more irregular. 1t is an evidence OF the
limited public interest in the market
that during the past three weeks, with
the most unsettled conditions since
Spring, the average daily transactions.
with the exception of those october 9
and october 10, have been less than
$500, 900 shares.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, October 25.-Brokerage

erably more cheerful today Many ex-
pected the rally to carry into next week

Pask g. Walbridge Indications Of
better prices for cotton and wheat be-
fore the end of the year, a surprisingly
large number of firms reporting not only
good earnings for the third quarter,
but even an increase over last year for
the first nine months, and a number
Of plants increasing their output seems
to justify the statement that a slow
improvement Is at hand Any weak
periods in the stock market from now
on should be utilized for acquiring
stocks in the belief that good securities
will not be available at these low levels
much logger"
Benjamin. Hill g. Co.: 1.-THE best
opinion Is that acute situations have
been cleaned up and that basic condi-
tons marketwiSe are much stronger"
Shields & Co.: with important
bear pressure lifted the market con-
tinues to improve and If the recovery
continues IN the same orderly manner
as in yesterdays session higher aver
age price levels should be witnessed"
Jackson Bros, Boesel g. Co.: There
was short covering yesterday from half
dozen important sources. We be-
lieve that a large part of the con-
centrated short interest remains intact,
/ however. It Is altogether likely that
new short lines will be put out on the
present rally. The technical position

week but there is good reason for be-
lieving that new investment buying
will counterfeit profit taking which will
come into the market today"
Hornblower g. Weeks: "The market
should gain in breadth in the nearby
trading, but 1t should be borne in mind
that such preliminary recovery move
ments are usually short lived"
Hamershlag, Borg & Co.: 1--WE would
not be surprised to see business slim
ulated by seasonable weather as well
as the organized buy now" campaigns
inaugurated the past week in various
sections of the country"
Redmond g. Co.: 1.-THE rally appears
to have gained sufficient momentum to
carry into next week, although there
probably will be intermittent periods
Of selling"
Smith, Graham 81 Rockwell: 1.-THE
shorts are in an uncomfortable position
and 1t looks as If some covering will
be done at higher prices"
M. ]. Meehan & Co.: with the
momentum of the past two days, it
would seem the line of least resistance
is on the upside for the time being
at least"

MANY GROWERS ATTEND
HORTICULTURAL meet

The State Horticultural Associa-
ton meeting at Wenatchee Uecem.
Der o-S allu Avln was attended ov
several growers and others working
with the 1rult industry in the Cour,,
~. Those attending were: Z. G. NC
Donald, Prosser, who is President
OF .--e Central Growers Organization
Tor the Yakima Valley; w. 5. Green,
kennewlck, representative of this
organization from the kennewick dis
trlct; w. S. Weber, large fruit
grower at Hanford; and Harry
hampton from Hover; Doyle Starch
Ell, district horticultural Inspector
Harry Linn, kennewick; and E. {.
Durule, kennewick.
The convention this year had a
very good, well-rounded, program,
covering various phases of the tree
fruit industry. While the majority
Of the speakers were from our own
State, Mr.. Eustace Of California was
present to discuss Selling and Adj
vertising;" and Mr.. Palmer of Sum-
merland, B. c. discussed the pro-
gram in the upper Okanagon foc
the control of Jonathan breakdown.
We believe these meetings are well
worth while attending and while the
distance to Wenatchee is rather
great, yet the trip to White Bluffs,
across the Ferry to Wahluke and
on up the river to Wenatchee was
4 very pleasant one at this season of
the year and the roads were in good
condition. 1t is probable that the
meeting next year will be held in
Yakima, when we feel that many of
the growers of the County could
we'll afford to attend the session.
