GREAT NORTHERN
READY TO MOVE
LARGE GRAIN CROP

In long. swift freight trains the

rolling toward the big grain con-
centration points
And before a single carload Of
the new crop has been moved by
the Great Northern Railway, the
company will have spent approx
mately S4OO0.0OO in preparation for
this years grain transportation
JOB. Great Northern officials said
that at least 10000 cars will be
available when the grain movement
gets under way.
About 1000 cars now are on Stor-
age tracks at strategic points in
Minnesota. the Dakotas. Montana
and Washington. ready for immedi-
ate service on demand by shippers.
An additional $500 will be avail
able when the poSt-harvsSt move
ment OF grain reaches its peak and
a further supply is assured if traf-
flc demands.
Preparations for crop transporta-
ton on the Great Northern. which
haulS more grain than any other
system IN the northwest, began
several months ago. The company
has purchased 1000 new boNcarS,
, and these will be in service for
the 1889 grain movement.
In addition. 200 cars will have
been reconditioned before August
/. Reconstruction OF l,400 cars be-
gan in Great Northern shops thru
out the system early in January.
and Shopmen now are at work on
the remaining 1900 cars.

freight cars: il also neceSSitateS i'm
mediate availability OF dependable
motive power. While cars were be-
ing modified and repaired for the
1899 crop transportation job, thou
sands of dollars were being eNpend-
ed by the Great Northern in re-
conditioning locomotives,
Grain now rolls east and west to
the huge reservoirs in Minneapolis.

long swift trains. Development and
operation by the Great Northern of

TEN MILLION BUSHELS
SMALLER THAN IN 80

According to a report by the fed
cral bureau of agriculture, Mon
tana's wheat crop this year will be
67,7lO,000 bushels, as compared
with 72.349,O00 listed for 1888. The
crop estimate was based on average
growing conditions between July
and harvest. Wheat harvested this
year will be raised on 4,007 900
acres, as compared with 4,458,O00
acres last year.
The 1899 winter wheat crop is
estimated at 22,3O4,OO0 bushels, as
against 24.58l.OO0 for last year.
Spring wheat is expected 10 fill 3d.
100000 bushels, as compared with
47,768,O00 in 1885,
Other crop estimates for 1889,
compared with 1888, follow:
Corn, 1.848.OO0 bushels. compared
with 2,34O,OOO last year.

Acreage planted to all crops in

Spring Wheat Hurt
BY Mid.MOnth Heat

Mid. July heat wilted spring
wheat in north Central and east
tern Montana districts. but all ir-
rigated crops were making good
progress. according to a report
by the federal agricultural stat
istics bureau at Helena. Winter
wheat and fall rye had began to
turn and harvesting was under
way in several sections.
The report said wheat on fal.
lowed ground had stood up well
under the heat. and added that
many fields damaged by early
hail storms had made good come
backs. Crops in general were re-
ported as good.

Letter Explains Problems of
Park Hiways Without Funds

The purpose of this letter is to
acquaint the public with the serious
condition of the Blackfeet highway,
which extends from Glacier Park
Station northward to the Canadian
boundary, and the Chief Mountain
highway which extends from Ken
nedy Creek Junction flour miles
north of Babb) northwestward to
the Canadian boundary. Last sum-
mer following visit by Associate
Director Demaray, an emergency
fund of $4,000 was secured for en-
Urgency improvement of the Black
feet highway and the Chief Noun
tain highway. This fund is now be-
ing expended, and I am sure that
the National Park Service is doing
good with the money. However, the
use of this road is so great unless a
large appropriation is secured soon,
the road will determine to such an
extent that it will be a serious men,
dSG, Ilot oIlly " Tic "Clldle VI Tic
Park, but to the welfare of the state.
This road is used not only by tour
lists during the three-month season
of the Park, but also by all sorts of
commercial and passenger travel
for about eight months of the year.
In any consideration of this road,
please understand that monies Sc
cured for this road will in no way
subtract from monies which you are
able to secure for other roads in
Montana, such as the Y-G Bee line
The improvement and maintenance
of this Blackfeet Highway and the
connecting Chief Mountain Inter-
national Highway is made from
funds appropriated directly from
the National Park Service. / have
learned informally but certainly
that no monies are being set up for
the improvement of this Highway
system for 1910. In other words, no
money is in sight and nothing is in
sight but deterioration. The great
trouble is that most of the money
nowadays given to the Park Service
is being earmarked for use in the
National Parks and parkways of the
southeast. refer to such Highways
as the Natchez Trace extending
from Natchez, Mississippi to Nash
vile and such highways as the APP
palachian Mountains. As much as
seven million dollars in a year is be-
ing spent by the National Park Ser
vice on such highways. This is not
said in criticism of the National
Park Service. because this money
is secured through pressure exerted
by representatives in congress from
the deep south.
It seems to ne that it is very
important for all the citizens of
Montana to do everything in their
power to draw the attention of their

LAST WEEKS GLACIER
COUNTY CROP REPORT

Hot and dry, one slight shower
Thursday night. Hot dry winds
last of week. Growing conditions
poor Prairies quite dry. Grass
turning brown. Wheat holding up
good on fallow. although some is
showing injury. Up to seven miles
north of Cut Bank. crops stubbled
in or put in on idle ground are
practically burned up. Late seed
ed feed crops seem to be holding
their own. Haying operations on
first crop alfalfa almost complete.
Grasshoppers appear thicker than
average and apparently all eggs
have been Matched. Livestock in
good shape. Some lambs shipped
and more will be shipped next

representatives in congress to the
importance of securing money to
maintain and develop this highway
system along the east side of Ola
cier National Park, with the later
ais extending into Glacier National
Park. If the word goes out in 1889
and 1910 that the Glacier Park
roads have deteriorated to such an
extent that trip over them is not
enjoyable, these reports and rumors
will seriously interfere with the
tourist traffic in the summer time
throughout Montana.
A very striking example of the
menace presented by this situation
comes to my mind In 1885, 1886
and 1887, under the social credit
government of Alberta, the roads
were allowed to deteriorate to such
an extent that American tourists
refused to go north of Glacier Park
to Calgary, Banff and Lake Louise.
The economic results of this stu
alton were most serious to Alberta.
and the improvement of the roads
became a state issue The roads are
now greatly improved and normal
traffic has been resumed, with the
result that the traffic to Canada
through the ports of entry is now
80 per cent ahead of last year, and
last year was greatly lin excess of
1887.
1t is my suggestion that all inter-
ested in these roads should see the
roads as soon as possible so that
appropriate action can be taken by
all who are interested in the de-
velopment of successful tourist
travel in Montana
