REPORT SHOWS BIG INCDEASE IN
AUGUST OVER PERIOD
o FYEAR AGO

Montana carload shipments during
August showed a so percent gain over
the shipments for the same month
a year ago, Harry B. Schaefer, traf-
fic expert for the state railroad COM
mission, announced recently.
During the month, revenue freight
loaded at Montana points and ship
ped to other state centers, or out-of-
state markets. totaled 1908 cars as
compared to 1923 cars, al increase
of $40 cars or so percent, the rail-
road commission official said.
Only one industry in Montana showed
any substantial reduction in shipping
during August, and that was mining,
occasioned, he said, by the long strike
in Butte.
In August there was a decrease of L.
OCT carloads of ore, 256 carloads of cop
per, 210 caroads of Stag and tailings,
Schaefer said. One "a of copper was
shipped in August as compared to 257 in
the same month a year ago; $50 cars Of
ore in comparison to 1,247 a year ago.;
not a single car of Stag and tailings as
compared to 40 a year ago in August,
and IS cars of concentrates as against
236 in August, 1888.
But while the mining industry suf-
fered during the month, other ship
ments showed great gains, particularly
in the agricultural field, where the gov
eminent has been purchasing surplus
commodities.
The following increases were noted
over August a year ago: Cattle, 5000
cars; hay, $40 cars; sheep and goats, 1872
cars; horses and mules, 40 cars, and
straw, four cars.
The prevailing price for wheat during
the month sent the total carload ship
ments to 1862, an increase over the
same month a year ago of 1908 cars.
Other increases were:
Farm implements, 81 cars; fruit and
vegetables, IL; dried peas and beans,
66; flour and millstuffs, 285; barley, Is;
oats, 10; wool, 20; logs, AT; lumber, Is;
sand and gravel, 619; poles, posts and
pilings, 6; wood, cord and slab, 5; stucco
and cement, 119; sugar, 1853; petroleum
crude oil, $40, and petroleum refined
oil, So.
How the monthly carloadings took
place in the leading industries is in
dicated in the following report:
Wheat, 1862; hay, 845; horses and
mules, 1853; cattle, 3,648; sheep and
goats, $50; hogs, Is; wool, So; logs, 59S;
lumber, 465; sand and gravel, $50; stuc-
co and cement, 212; sugar, 315; petro-

These cattle were driven 80 miles to

There were a great many different
owners represented in the six cars and
each overs stock was weighed separ-

is too large or too small for this firm
to handle.
In commenting upon the market Mr..
Robinson said: I'VE had $500 range
cattle on the market one day a couple
of weeks ago and 1000 the next day.
Quality was fairly good but there were
very few fat steers in the run. Killing
steers with both quality and fat were
steady to a shade strong. The better
kinds of cows were also well taken at
fully steady prices, but the palmer
grades of both steers and cows were a
shade lower"

RUNNING TO MOTHER

We can appreciate the anxiety of
Mayor Frank F. Shaw of Los Angeles,
because Of the street car strike now in
progress in his city. Labor trouble in a
utility which serves thousands of the
city's citizens naturally would be dis
turbing to and the cause of concern on
the part of the chief executive of that
city.
But we cannot see why Mayor Shaw
should have to run to President Roosevelt
with his troubles right off the bat, as the
saying goes.
The Los Angeles strike is purely and
simply local proposition. We have not
read of any efforts on the part of Mayor
Shaw to head off the strike before it was
called, yet in the past mayors, by taking
an aggressive and disinterested stand in
labor disputes have been successful in
Strengthening them out.
1t appears to US that it was Mayor
Shaw's duty as the chief executive of his
city to use every resource in his power
TO avoid the strike and if he was not sue
cessful in doing so then was the proper
time to appeal to some higher authority
President Roosevelt is an extremely
busy man, with a multitude of problems
of concern to the entire nation and not to
any one locality, demanding his close at
tention Why he should be expected to
put aside the affairs of the nation to set
tie the Los Angeles strike, would be diff
ficult to understand were it not for the
fact that in recent years our whole poll
teal system has leaned too far toward
''paternalism" in government.
Instead of individuals, municipalities
and states attempting to solve their own
problems, all are only too willing to run
Immediately to the national government.
This lamentable condition, weakening
the traditional independence of Ameri-
cans, has been particularly fostered by
the present administration.
With every bump or >bruise youngsters
get, they run Immediately to mother, de-
pending upon her to fix them up and ease
their sufferings That is what is being
done daily in our economic and political
spheres. That is what Mayor Shaw has
done.

UNCLE wIGGJLY's MINCE PIE

Uncle Wiggily put his pink nose
out in Nurse James kitchen of the
hollow stump bungalow and twin
kled it at her. I mean the rabbit
gentleman twinkled his nose, not
the bungalow or kitchen. Nurse
Jane was busy at a table with pots
and pans and sugar and spice and
other things nice.
81 suppose you are getting ready
for Thanksgiving, Miss Fuzzy Wuz-
zy. aren't you?" asked the rabbit
gentleman.
"Yes," answered the muskrat
lady, Il am"
Are you making a mince pie?"
mo, / don't believe / shall make
a mince pie this Thanksgiving" :"
said Nurse Jane. 1T is too rich and
heavy for the bunny children to
eat. 1t might make them i'll. I'll
make some plain cakes instead"
"Oh, we must have mince pie or
it won't seem like Thanksgiving, +"
said Uncle Wiggily.
We'll" said Nurse Jane with a
laugh, IF you are so fond of mince
pie you had better make one your
self"
II Shall" said Uncle Wiggily.
Let me know when you are
through working in the kitchen
and then I'll hop out here and
make mince pie"
'T'll Show You"
Nurse Jane began TO laugh.
What are you laughing at?" ask
ed Uncle Wiggily.
"At youl' she giggled, ITO think
of you, an old rabbit gentleman,
though you are very jolly making
mince pie. You can't do it"
I'll show you whether 1 can or
notl" boaSted Mr. Longears. Just
you wait! How long before you
will be out of the kitchen so I can
come in and make the pie?"
"Oh, pretty soon now" said Nurse
Jane. you hop away and have
an adventure and when you get
back you may come out into my
kitchen and try your luck. But
Imperial Valley press., 1934-11-26

think you ought TO do, Wiggy? I
think you should go to the bakers
and buy a mince pie already made.
You can take it home under your
coat and pretend to Nurse Jane
you made it,"
so I canl" chuckled Mr.. Long
ears. But after I fool Nurse Jane
I will tell her the truth about the
pie"
That's only fair" grunted the
pig. So Uncle Wiggily hoped TO
the bakery and bought fine, large
Thanksgiving mince pie. He hid 1t
under his coat and hoped back to
his bungalow. Nurse Jane was just
coming out of the kitchen.
Uncle Wiggily went in, closed the
door and ratified the pots and pans
very loudly. Then he opened the
gas stove oven door, put in the pie
he had bought and, after waiting
while, he called "Come, Nurse
Jane. and see the mince pie I made
for Thanksgiving" And when she
looked at it she was so surprised
she didn't know what to say.
81 didn't know you could do it,
she said. But then the bunny told
her the truth and they both had a
good laugh, which is a fine thing.
So If the cellar floor doesn't go
up on top of the house to play tag
with the roof, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggilys big cake.

mendable and particularly so in the case
of man chosen to be the chief executive
of metropolitan city of some two mil

poets more leadership from those chosen

we maintain our present habit of choos-

about the "new deal,' the free

it, yet. They merely have been

Uncle Sam and forced to pay the
three cents which they tried to
save.

Others use it freely for campaign

BUILDING NOT .STAGNANT

Despite conditions not exactly stimu-
lating to additional building, Ell Centre
has not done so badly this year in the
matter of building permits.
The total to date for the year, $100.S72,
compares most favorably with total of
S165,2l1 at the same time last year. This
latter figure was inflated by the permit
for the new post office, amounting to
$4,000, giving the actual total for last
year 5 period as $55,000 in round num-
bers.
This years total has not been inflated
in any way, and represents moderate ac
tivity in new buildings, repairs and alter
ations.
Building activity will undoubtedly be
stimulated by the campaign now being
carried on under the national housing
act, and the turn of the year should see
a definite trend upwards in building per-
mits, always an accurate barometer OF
city's conditions.
