in 1899 will be no less than IS per
cent greater than the total started
during 1888.
There remains much projected
construction yet to be undertaken
by the Federal as we'll as the Dis
trict Government, the new armory,
new Census Building, new Social
Security Building, new Naval Medi-
cal Center, to say nothing OF new
low-rental housing, all of which are
now more than mere blueprints
Furthermore. there are numerous
private undertakings, chiefly in the
residential and ONCE building field,
in various stages of planning.
Allowing for funds already ap-
propriated by Congress and for
financial commitments on the part
of private enterprise, there is in
sight no less than $50,000,000 in
new construction, the bulk of which
is certain to materialize in the re-
naming months of 1899.
Mortgage Money Ample.
The conventional wells OF mort
gage money are still interested in
placing their funds on new Wash
ington buildings and it is this, more
than any single factor, that holds
the key to the nearby outlook for
private building.
Institutional investments in Wash
ington real estate mortgages at the
end of 1898 are enlightening. They
included: Life insurance companies,
$125, 900 900; building and loan as
sociations, $4,000 900; banks and
trust companies. S3s, 900: total,
$3.50, 900 600.
In 1898 alone 10 life insurance

Casey Protests
Rdilroud Measure

Horace F. Casey, Railroad and
Public Service Commissioner OF
the state of Montana, appeared
Monday, June 10, before the In.
terState Commerce committee Of
the United States Senate at
Washington, D. c., to voice
Montana's opposition to Senate
Bill No. 2444, which seeks to
grant certain discriminatory
practices with respect to tran
sit privileges by common car
rier railroads.
This bill attempts to accom-
plish by legislation the very
thing that the Interstate Com
merce commission, Washington
D. c., in a number of rate
complaint cases has found not
discriminatory.
If this bill should be passed
by Congress it would be detri-
mental to the agricultural and
milling industry of the state Of
Montana in that it would favor
dealers in grain and grain pro-
ducts in the middle west by
enabling them to ship their
products to Chicago and other
eastern markets at a substan-
tally lower rate than Montana
dealers.

Local Boy Praised.
For Pidno Solos

Minneapolis papers last week
carried accounts of two recit-
ais given by students of the
McPhail school of music, I'M
which James Anderson, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. O. E. Anderson.
took part.
His performance as a piano,
soloist was universally praised.
One paper stated, James And
erson, with metronomic precis--
ion. gave a dashing performance
of the Motto Allegro from Men,
delssohn'S G-minor symphony
Another paper described his
playing as "skillful," and COM
mended his agility. The Min
neapolis Journal commented ON
his work as energetic and
thoughtful"
James is attending summer
school at McPhail this summer,
and will have the opportunity
to direct one Of the best Junior
high school bands in the city
of Minneapolis.

Crickets Threaten
Big Horn Valley

Mormon cricketS are within
striking distance of Hardin and
the Big Horn valley, and are a
serious threat to the Hardin
bench crops Tor the first time
in the Big Horn county lnteS-
tation, according to H. Z. Heck
enlively, cricket supervisor, and
George w. Gusta1son, county
extension agent.
During the past few days
large bands of cricketS, coming
IN nom the Toluca area, have
reached the wheat fields of the
dry land area west of Hardin.
Control work has been centered
in this area for the past few
days, and though in a few pla-
ceS, the cricketS have moved in
to wheat fields, they are being
effectively stopped by means OF
tin fences that are being built.
Mr.. Heckenlively and Mr..
Gustafson have spent the past
few days assisting the farmers
of this community to arrest the
advance of the pests. So far
very little damage has been
done in this area.
Reports from other sections
of the county indicate that the
cricketS are now at the height
of the moving period, but the
control work has been effective
enough to present very. serious
damage to crops anywhere.
busting is proving very effec-
tive. Fourteen power busters
and a large number of hard
busters are in use. Oiling has
helped to stop the insects on
tine Big Horn and Little Big
Horn rivers; many small bands
of cricketS have been wiped out
by this method, and the valley
crops are protected so far.
Additional tin fence has been
secured during the past week,
so that use of this method OF
control has been increased. This
has been extremely useful in
stopping the invasion in many
places.
The Bureau of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine recently
discovered a new bait which has
proven efficaciouS and has been
used in some places in the coun-
ty. It is expected that this poi
son bait will be adopted more
generally as more Information
IS secured regarding it value.
Although neighboring coun-
ties report fewer of the insects
this year, Mormon cricketS in
Big Horn county are even more
numerous and threatening this
year than they have been In the
past.
