Cattle Slaughter MayAMDai,yman

Stock of manufactured milk products which
threatened TO assume rather large proportions
have been reduced to low level These things
invite disaster for they point out cash crop
to farmers harassed by overproduction and low
prices IN other lines. The farmers might be
inclined to increase their herds and dairy
facilities. A year or two Of this and the crash
would be inevitable.
The consumer would benefit in one way
indirectly from the movement to limit dairy
herds. Heretofore the practice has been TO
butcher only the bull calves and raise the
heifer calves. The importance Of calves liver
in the diet has brought about demand which
has put the price of this food on high level.
An increased supply through the hutchering OF
heifer calves would also result in lower prices.
Whether or not the warning of the Advisory
Council is carried out remains to be seen.
With the experience of other branches Of farm
ing in which Federal warnings against over
production were disregarded, it seems that wis
dom would dictate the following out of the
advice of the dairy leaders. II, however, the
warning goes no further than to prevent expan-
sion beyond present production, the warning
win have served good purpose.

he believed, could be developed.
 But neither the Navy, the h. terrier Department nor the Alas ka Railroad has acted to remedy the initial mistake-if not a de- liberate plot to discredit the felds-despite proof on file with the Navy that the coal tested su- perior to that in use on U. s. ships.
 Coal Is Superior
 In the Navy files at Washing ton, D. C., are records of those tests. In every respect the Ma tanuska coal proved equal or su- perior to eastern. coal. It could be landed at Pacific ports cheap CT than the Eastern coal.
 The fight to have the field de- veloped was taken to President Coolidge. He replied that Secre- tary Denby Of the Navy had ad- vised him the coal was unsuit- able.
 The report of the shiptests was dug from the Navy files and pre- sented to the President. A marginal notation by Admiral Robison, chief of the Bureau of Engineers said: Tt is believed this report shows conclusively the coal is not suitable for Navy purposes.
 Later he said he referred to the price-but the price was less than that paid for Navy pur- poses.
 The report was given Thurs day, February IA, 1924, late in the afternoon.
 Development of Alaska Lignitc
 Fields Stifled
 In addition to the great Mata- ruska Valley coal fields for use by the Navy, trillions of tons of Ignite coal are to be found in the Nenana district of Interior Alaska.

 The costly Anchorage terminal later was abandoned.
 No official explanation of the action has been given.
 Lines were constructed in low lands along the rivers, where mile after mile of track was washed out and later rebuilt oa higher ground. One such incl cent alone cost $2,OO0,000. The road was blocked for miles by falling rock from bluffs.
 High Rates Charged
 And, in addition to those diff faculties, exorbitant rates were charged. Mining was paralyzed and development discouraged Alaska Coal Bottled Up; Navy
 Pays High For Fuel Deserted Model Town One of Monuments to Governmental
 Mismanagement
 Trillions of tons of coal are to be found in Interior Alaska.
 The Navy Department has ap- proved the coal for United States ships. If ' Shipment of coal from the Ma tanu~!<a fields for the Pacific fleet alc->e would give the Alaska Railroad 30O,OOO additional ton nage yearly.
 It would increase the Roads earnings $60O,oo0.
 And todey the road is losing thousan( of dollars every year it operates.

$8.50 a ton, where as the Navy was paying $11 a ton for coal from Eastern fields.
 An appropriation of $1,000,001 for devejopment of the fields was obtained and allowed to lapse, with no action being taken.
 The Interior Department at that time said the railroad was not prepared to handle the coal.
 Model Town Built
 The money was reappropriated Tn 1919 and exploration work was turned over to the Alaska Engineering Commission, in charge of the inefficient Alaska Railroad.
 A model town was built 9 town that shocked President Harding on his trip to Alaska n 1923, for it was a deserted town, without men or industry.
 WHY?
 Another question for the Sen ate Committee to answer, a2d in s5eking the answer the S.nators H1ll go through masses of records ili tho Navy and Interior Depart 1nents.
 There will he found evidence of falsehood and corruption.
 "A Monument of Folly
 After President Harding had looked at the abandoned, model town constructed to develop coal in Matanuska Valley of Alaska for the Navy and which failed entirely to become an industrial center, he said:
 "A model town built in the Chicalocn district, before we proved the accessibility of the coal, was a notable fiasco, with a deserted town as monument to folly'
 That town was seven miles from the great field of cal.

Gently received here by local stock
holders New. transmission lines have
been constructed in various parts Of
the territory served and many rural
extensions built to bring electric power
TO numerous farms and homes through
out the Northwest The following para
graphs taken from the report indicate
the progress made by the local utii

In the Kalispell division excellent
progress has been made on the con-
struction Of the new transmission lire
from ,she Big Fork plant to Kalispell.
Montana An ample and dependable
power supply was assured for Kalis-
pell upon the completion in Novem-
Der Of the new high tension transmits
sion line and automatic substation The
improvements and additions to the dam
and forebay at Big Fork generating
plant were also satisfactorily COM
pleted during November.
The switchboard at the telephone ex-
change in Whitefish, Montana has been
completed and the new telephones in
stalled throughout the CITY, changing
the system from magnetic to central
energy-a marked improvement which
should result in much better service
to customers. A new long distance tele-
phone line is under construction from
Rollins to Big Arm, the poles for which
have been set and the wiring practically
completed
A new pumping system recently in
stalled by the Great Northern Rail-
way at its roundhouse and yards in

the use Of two Is horsepower motors
1t is estimated that this pumping sys-

Another encouraging item is the
announcement of successful flotation
treatment. of Butte rhodocrosite ores
and the production on large scale
test OF high-grade manganese con-
centrate from ores which prior to this
demonstration were considered waste.
This fact alone adds enormously to the
actual and potential ore reserves of the
Butte district.
The revival of gold mining, which
should naturally follow in a period OF
hard times, has been little slow in de-
veloping.
Few changes are reported in the
technology of copper, lead, and zinc
production, the operations being char
acterized mainly by efforts to keep
down costs while reducing the scale
of operations.
In electrolytic copper refining it has
been found possible to increase the
anodes from 600 to $50 pounds in
weight, thereby reducing the proper
ton of scrap. In zinc refining metal is
being produced of 1896 per cent pur-
ity.
In the wire-mill distinctly for
j ward step has been taken in the pro-
duction of hollow core cable for cleo
+ trio transmission The cable consists of
a double layer of wire wrapped abou,
a spiral core of I-beam cross section
/ This cable is being made in special
machinery designed for the purpose
and built and placed during the year
About TOO miles of it will be used in
