Freight Rate on Wheat Hardin
Minneapolis Csc Blu. More
Than From Custer.

Inc letter below written by &c
Kopac Of Hardin, one of the
largest individual wheat growers
in Montana, is published for the
information of the wheat growers
Of this community. It does seem
that if the farmers would take
concerted action in the matter OF
obtaining a better freight rate in
the manner suggested by Mr. Ko-
pac, that the freight rate on
grain from Hardin to Minneapolis
would be lowered to somewhere
near the rate from Custer, only
"a miles from Hardin. Following
is Mr.. Kopac's letter:
Hardin Tribune-Herald
The greatest drawback to this
community of any one thing is
our unjustifiable and prohibitive
freight rates on grain and kin
dred products to the central mar
kets. Here are the facts: 1t
costs CSC a bushel more to ship
wheat to Minneapolis from Hardin
than from Custer, on the N. P.
R. R., also, So more per bushel to
ship wheat from Hardin than
from Billings, on the c. B. & O.,
to the Minneapolis market.
1t costs this community from
$25,000 to $4,000 every year, de-
pending on the size of the crop,
on account of this difference in
freight rate that's eating on us
every year. This is enough to bust
any community. In ten years this
item alone, if adjusted, would
save this community at least,
$350,000.O0 Imagine, $3.50, 00O. 90,
and that isn't property inventory
Its cold cash taken out of the
producers of this county alone.
Can anything be done to save
this enormous sum for this COM
munity? It can be done if taken
up Systematically and aggressively.
This very thing has been taken
up with the c. B. & @. and the
interstate commerce commission
and state railway commission in
complaints and pleadings of un-
fairness in freight rates; but in
all cases the c. B. g. @. got the
business. Nothing can be done by
words and complaints unless sup
ported by action.
The thing to do is to further
improve the highway from Har-
din to Custer and all the farmers
bind themselves to haul all their
grain to Custer, on the N. P. R. r.
The trucking now can be done
for &c a bushel on wheat, a saving
of 2.6c per bushel over Hardin
price.
If this were done for a year or
two, the c. B. & O. would be
ready to talk and act on a down.

today became the track and
field headquarters of the coun-
try.
Since early in the week the pill
grims" have been drifting in from
Skiatook, Okla, Abbeyville, La;
Fresno, Calf, and other athletic way
stations, and their ranks were to be
augmented today by fve-man Mid
west delegation.
The late arrivals we're Glenn Cum
ningham, the Kansas miller; Iva Fu-
qua and Charles Hornbostel, Indiana
University's track co-captains; Ray
Sears Butler distance star. and Ralph
Metcalfe, Marquette's great Negro
Sprinter.

L Toppino the New Orleans wind
mill; Johnny Morriss, Abbey
tllle's high hurdler; Walter Marty
world outdoor high Jump record
holder from Fresno, and Glen Daw-
son, the Oklahoma middle-distance
ace.
Because of the cold weather, the
early arrivals did not get the expected
advantage, so far as training goes,
cold spell and then a near-blizzard
yesterday chasing them off the out
door board tracks of the local COL
leges
With the training restricted to the
armories and club gymnasiums, little
more than limbering up drills were in
prospect before they face the starter
in Madison Square Garden tomorrow.
A THOUGH = is the first all-star
~ meet of the Eastern season and
few of the athletes have had any
previous competition this Winter. the
presence of 10 national or intercolle-
giate champions spread over the nine
feature events promises keen compe-
tltion in all of them.
In addition to the individual events.
some of the fastest relay teams in the
East and Midwest will compete in
series of special and mile relays.

NAT SPIRIT TO TELL,
GRIFFITH CONTENDS
Believes His Team Will Repeat
in Race. He Says in Talk
at Cosmopolitan Club.
IF THE Washington base ball team

IF THE Washington base ball team
displays the same team spirit ex-
hibited in 1893. it will again win
the American League pennant this
year
Clark c. Griffith, president of the
Nationals, made this statement yes
terday in talk at the weekly lunch
con meeting of the Cosmopolitan Club.
The Washington team did not play
any super ball last year" Griffith de-
clared. Not one player played above
his normal average. Indeed, some of
them fell short of their general stand
ard Of playing. 1t was consistent team
work that won and I feel that the
Washington team can play as well
this year and perhaps better than in
1888, which makes it logical that it
will repeat with another pennant."
Asked about the new outfielder,
Stone, Griffith said that two years
ago he considered Stone the best
young outfelder in the league. Il
tried to trade for him then, but could
make no headway."

Only Two of "a Navy Yearlings

Strength Tests.

By the Associated Press.
4 NNAPOLIS. Md. February @
~ Coach C. S. Walsh is not worry
ing about having an intelligent
plebe crew at the Naval Academy
this Spring. but he is wondering where
the muscle is coming from.
Only two of the "a candidates re-
porting for practice passed the
strength tests required of every mid
shipman. causing him to discontinue
the piebe practice for the time being.
But Coach Walsh pointed out that
while the young niddies may not
have qualified in all of the strength
tests, for the first time in nine years
of coaching plebes. all members of
the squad came through the scholastic
tests at the end of the first period.
1T looks like the plebes will have
to capitalize on their brains" he said,
"and win their races between the
ears"
The % candidates who did not pass
the strength tests have been placed
on the weak squad" at the academy,
where they viii undergo special in
struction until they qualify.

And there must be good reasons
for releasing. We consider whether
a man can throw, whether he can
run, hit, whether he likes to play,
whether his spirit is right, and
also consider his habits. If there
is one thing at which he excels he
Is retained, regardless of faults,
unless the faults preclude the pos
sibility of his making good.
If one scout, manager or official
votes against release, the player IS
kept for further inspection. And
the best proof of the efficiency Of
our method of selecting is the fact
that while we have examined thou
sands of young players in the last
few years, we know of only two
who have made good, even in a
small minor league, after having
stccd inspection in one of our
camps and released by US.
Mind you we have lost players
who have become stars, but in
such instances one manager or one
scout did the releasing. Such
players usually reported after we
had held our camp and therefore
We did not have chance to give
