eastern summer vacationist cannot be
kept away from Montana" Mrs. Edg-
ingtOn said. 1.-THE word of Montana's
highways is known throughout the east
and understand that practically all of
the outing and dude ranches are booked
to capacity already.
I'm 1885 at Hiawatha lodge we had
the biggest season in history and the
bookings for this year are the heaviest
to date that they have ever been.
The idea of the Montana outing or
dude ranch in the east is one which is
each year attracting more attention
Eastern people have gotten tired of
travelling to Europe and have found IN
the wide open spaces OF Montana the
something different which is vacation
and rest"
Mrs. Edgington said that for years
she had been making trips east in the
interests of the western recreation
ranches, but had never before found
as much enthusiasm as the past win
ter. She has been in New York, Wash
ington, D. c., Philadelphia, Baltimore
and in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Big GAME LOSS
BELOW NORMAL
DEER THAN ELK IN SELL
WAY FOREST

Predatory animals were largely
responsible for the big game loss
in the Selway forest during the
late winter. Deer showed a larger
percentage of loss than elk.
The game count made in the Moose
creek area showed about 4,099 elk
with an approximate six percent loss.
There were 4,098 deer counted and the
loss was figured at II percent.
Forest officials regard the loss as
somewhat below normal, in spite of the
rigorous winter.
Jack Eager who was game technician
in the locality for most of four months,
has been transferred to the Bitter
Root forest for the summer. His head
quarters will be at the Camp Creek

COMMODITIES CO
DOWN UNEVENLY
FROM YEARS. TOP
Wheat Prices Swept Higher,
While Corn Encounters
Sharp Setback.
BY A. A. PATTON.

NEW YORK, September 26.-with
grain and live stock markets the softest
spots, commodity prices slid away from
the years top last week.
Numerous cross-currents buffeted
the list OF staples. Wheat and corn,
for example, parted ways. The former
rushed ahead into new high territory
for the year, the latter giving ground
sharply.
Wheat's handsome performance was
attributed by commodity men to the
world situation rather than any do
mestic developments. Demand has
been expanding steadily, they say.
while wet European harvest and wide
drought damage here cut potential sup
plies. Stocks are known to be the
lowest IN many years.
Affected by Local Faetorx
Corn, on the other hand, was affected
almost entirely by local factors. The
unusually high price commanded by
the grain recently is reported to have
caused q shrinkage in demand. At the
same time estimates of the yield were
being raised slightly Other grains
took their cues from the leaders, rye
advancing and oats dipping.
The Associated Press weighted index
Of IS important wholesale commodities
dropped to 81.16 from S147 last week
and compares with 77.43 in the same
period year ago.
The upturn in cotton was attributed
to the high rate of operations in the
spinning industry, both here and
abroad, which has raised world con-
sumption in the latest crop year to
the highest on record.
The divergent paths Of hog and
cattle prices widened. The drop in
quotations on porkers, caused by large
marketlngs. was accompanied by
weakness in lard. Rising consumer
incomes are held mainly responsible
for the continued uptrend in cattle,
beef being favored as meat when
people can meet its price. Lamb de-
clined slightly.
Food Costs Increase.
Food costs picked up, with eggs
cocoa and flour sharing the gains.
The latter was affected by a reduc-
tion in supplies as a result of the
strikes that have paralyzed Mime
apolis mills for several weeks. Sugar
fell back under pressure of trade esti-
mates that import quotas would be
considerably above actual use.
Industrial staples nudged ahead
fractionally to a new top for the
year. Heavily weighted hides, in good
industrial demand, more than offset
minor setbacks in rubber, bituminous
coal, turpentine and linseed oil.
Among non-ferrous metals, tin was
down a bit.
Textiles weakened, with wool ex-
tending its decline and silk turning
down following recent gains.

RAIL EQUIPMENT
ORDERS INCREASE
Sharp Rise in Earnings Laid
to Recovery in Durable
Goods
enseial pispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK. September 26.-Rail-
road equipment manufacturers have
been booking an increased volume OF
business due to the rapid Improvement
Of rail earnings and credit, which may
be traced to the recent speeding up
of the recovery movement, particular
ly in heavy goods.
According to a new survey OF the
railroad equipment industry issued by
Poor's Publishing Co., maintenance Of
tracks and roadbeds is the railroads
first consideration.
Replacement of car and locomotive
parts and accessories is second in i'm
portance. Finally, comes the purchase
Of new cars and locomotives to re-
place obsolete and inefficient rolling
stock.
Profits in the first two of these d.
visions have already reflected improv-
ing general railroad conditions" states
the survey. Despite sharp Increases
from depression lows. orders for loco
motives and freight cars, although suf-
ficient to reduce losses substantially,
still fall far short of the capacity to
which this division Of the industry Is
geared.
Orders Sag Sharply.
"In 1929 the railroads ordered 1912
locomotives. Aggregate orders in the
following six years numbered only
995. Freight cars ordered during the
six years subsequent to 1929 amounted
to only 100000 as contrasted with
Ill 900 bought in 1929. Recently the
trend of equipment purchases has
been upward. Purchases of new
freight cars so far in 1886 have
amounted to 34,254-more than in any
full year since 1880. The 134 loco
motives purchased this year through
August 81 represented a larger total
than in any full year Of the last four.
except 1884.
Competition for equipment busi-
ness is intense, owing to the excess
capacity and the long period of starva-
hungry for new business.
Use Own Shops.
'"The large proportion of equipment
manufactured and repaired by the
railroads in their own shops apd the
entrance Of other companies into the
field make the position of the 'old-line'
manufacturers even more difficult. In
creasing use of Diesel and electric en-
gines and adoption of new alloy steels
in construction designs have at
tracted numerous concerns into the
railroad equipment field.
I'm spite of keen competition and
narrow profit margins, the outlook
for railroad equipment manufacturers
in all fields must be considered
brighter than at any time since be-
fore the depression. Further increases
In the volume of orders for railroad
maintenance are to be expected"

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR OIL FIRMS AS
DEMAND MOUNTS
Consumption Likely to Hit
3,05O,000 Barrels a Day
During Next Year.
BY J. G. DONLEY.

special DISPATCH 70 ! No CtaI.
NEW YORK, September 26.-The
oil industry is one Of the enigmas OF
recovery. Oil shares have not joined
whole -heartedly in the big recovery
parade on the stock exchanges, and
the man in the street seems to be
bit fuzzy in his mind as to whether
oil is still in the dumps, stationary, or
on the mend.
One reason for that, perhaps, is
that, in the depression years, the
slump in oil prices was laid by those
who did not trouble to look under
the surface to the same sort Of de-
cline in consumption that tsok the
joy out of other industries. But the
fact Is that at. its worst, in 1882 or
1888, the demand for oil was within
80 per cent Of the aill-time peak. That
strong trend Of consumption, however,
was belied by crude oil prices.
Flood Of Oil Recalled.
The trouble with prices was produc-
ton. A food Of oil came from the
east Texas fields where, in 1880, Dad
Joiner had discovered the largest oil
field in the world. When coslsump-
ton did decline. the weight Of that
new supply did funny things to prices.
1t is almost unbelievable now that in
April, 1888, East Texas crude sold for
q dime a barrel.
In the Summer of that year, the
sharp price crack having done more
to throttle wide open production than
any thing else, East Texas crude got
back to around so cents a barrel. In
late September one barrel brought as
much as 10 barrels had brought in
April, and the price held around the
dollar-level until January of this year,
when it was raised to $1.15.
Meanwhile, following its temporary
dip, oil consumption has been moving
steadily upward. reaching a new all
time peak for the daily average this
year. In q survey Of the progress in
petroleum from 1888 to 1896, just
published in booklet form under the
title Three fruitful years." j. Meyer,
jr. g. Co., Inc, have drawn some very
interesting comparisons.
Crude Storage Drops.
During the first seven months of
1885," says the survey, I'VE have pro-
duced an estimated average Of 2,991,-
900 barrels of oil every "a hours. Yet,
as of August /, 1886, crude oil in
storage had decreased by nearly
5000, 900 barrels since the first of the
year, and was about 100000 bar
rels less than on corresponding date
in 1898.
Installation of the extent of the
improvement in the petroleum indus
try since 1888 is made easy by four
significant comparisons, as of July in
that year and July, 1886. Oil in stor-
age has decreased 11.7 per cent; con-
sumption Of oil has increased 27.2
per cent; production has increased
all per cent, and the price Of oil has
risen 1870 per cent.
Looking ahead along the curve of
consumption, the survey finds that
1t should increase to . daily average
Of 3,050,000 barrels in 1887 and
100000 barrels in 1888. For the
