Statement Need
For Tin By SalUage

The shortage of tin becomes
more acute daily. Unlike waste
paper where we have a recurring
source of supply, in the case of tin,
our sources of supply have been cut
off by the Japanese, and since Pearl
Harbor, we have been gradually de-
pleting the reserves which we had
on hand at that time. 1t is quite
obvious that sooner or later we will
exhaust these supplies of tin since
they are not limitless. Estimates
of the supply of tin available range
from seven and a half to nine
months. Nor can we expect any
improvement in the tin supply until
our chief sources of tin-Malay and
the Dutch East Indies-are retaken
from the Japanese. Expert estl-
mates of the time required to get
these territories back into normal
production range from one year to
two years.
In view of the fact that estimates
of our present supply of tin v
only a nine-months' period, we are
in a very uncomfortable position.
War requirements are u~ndiminished
and we are faced with a great need
for tin in order even to attempt
r-econversion. Where that is coming
from, Heaven only knows, since 1t
is almost impossible to divide up
shortages.
In order to conserve every posi-
BILE ounce of tin, the war production
board has amended and frightened
orders restricting its use. You
have no doubt noticed in all their
statements concerning reconversion,
war production board officials have
carefully spelled out the critical
shortage of tin. They will continue
to do so.
Now, where are we to secure at
least a part of the additional sup
ply so urgently needed? Well, the
to that is only from the
Iowly tin can-in Americas kitchens
and restaurants. Last year we
threw away seven billion tin cans
hat could have been salvaged, con-
enough salvable tin for the
making of 1890 ~destroyers or $780,
200 tanks. We salvaged less than
half the available tin ans. Our

WARNS FARMERS ABOUT
DISEASE BEARING FLIES

Farmers were given another rea-
son for a war on flies this summer
in a report just issued by live
stock health authorities at Helena.
Flies, the report states, have been
found to be carriers of the deadly
cattle disease, anaplasmosis, which
is causing heavy cattle losses in a
number of Western states.
Recent tests show that horse
flies which suck the blood of cattle
carrying this disease, can readily
transmit it to healthy CATTLE" says
the report released by the American
Foundation for Animal Health. can
aplasmosis is caused by a minute
parasite which attacks the blood
cells of cattle, causing severe
anemia. Cattle which contract the
disease remain carriers, and during
the horsefly and hornfly eason
such carrier animals can endanger
all healthy cattle in the locality.
Persons not familiar with proper
sanitary and disinfection practices
in vaccinating may also spread the
disease. There is no known cure,
rigid preventive measures are
important. A vigorous cam
paign against biting flies at this
time should be especially helpful"

URGES USE
Of LATENT RESOURCES

Survey and development of Mon
tana's natural for the
benefit of present and future gen
erations of the states citizens was
the general topic of an address de-
livered Tuesday at the Laurel Ro-
tary club meeting by A. T. Peter
son of Billings who has served in
a number of public positions. Late
ly he had been head of the Montana
OPA at Helena and continues as
president of Montanans, Inc, the
state chamber of commerce.
He said returning veterans and
war workers will in many instances
want more than a job; they will
seek an income not dependent on
fluctuations in employment, and
above all they will not be much in
terested in "made" jobs.
He urged that the state as a
whole and communities as individ-
ual sectors look themselves "
thoroughly and examine the re-
sources with which the state has
been naturally endowed. The four
easily apparent sources from which
the state has drawn and will con
tinue to draw are mining, agricul-
ture, numbering and tourist trade.
Other, strictly industrial, businesses
and occupational trades have grown
up as compliments to the four ma
jors. These latter include a great
number of services.
The speaker declared the state
which has lost population while
others gained has many u~nscratched
and even unsupported resources
which require only vision, good
sense and initiative to be made to
bloom into profitable enterprises
for a great number of individuals.
In support of his declaration he
mentioned current instances of pro-
iucts being bought in other states
and shipped to Montana when the
materials for the products are
abundant here. Of the several he
nelIlOlleu, oic was Si"'S 0eNN
revealed a better material
vas in Montana, but the b~ottleneck
vas that it was not being cut into
lies suitable for processing.
Peterson did not favor useless
duplication of services and products
being rendered OF made, but
tressed the development of pro-
Iucts and services needed here but
low being brought in. Included in
he visioned program was the ex-
,ort side-the furnishing of pro-
ucts to states unable to produce
hem.
The speaker was introduced by
H. Sterrett, July program COM
littee member.

BOHEMIAN TUNNEL
Of n. P. IS PLACED
IN USE SATURDAY
New Bore Is 5000 Feet Long
Was Begun In January IA
Cost S1,350,0O0

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 1.-On Sat-
urday, July %, without ceremony,
the Northern Pacific railway began
operating its trains through a new
3,OO0-foot tunnel through Bozeman
mountain, on the main t%ransconti-
mental line in central Montan, just
completed at a cost of approximate
ly $1,35O,000.
The tunnel was built to accom-
modate Northern Pacific's new giant
steam locomotives, thus facilitating
movement of war traffic, according
to President c. E. Denney, who said
were dispensed with to
avoid interference with hauling of
military personnel and freight.
The new bore replaces a tunnel
which was put in service in January
1884, only five months after COM
pletion of the Northern Pacific's
transcontinental line. Pending COM
pletion of the first tunnel, trains
operated on a switchback over the
The switchback was re-
stored to service temporarily in
1895 when a fire prevented opera
ton through the tunnel.
Work on the new tunnel began
Jan. 2, 1914. Ballast and ties for
the tunnel rails are laid on a CON
floor. A total Of 1860 cubic
yards of concrete was used in the
floor, lining and portals.

GRAIN HARVEST IS
UNDER WAY IN ALL
MONTANA COUNTIES
Yields Run From Good To Less
Than Last Year-HOt Dry
Weather Is Felt

The Montana weekly weather anC
crop report issued Aug. 1 at Hell
ena by cooperating federal and
state agencies said:
For three weeks hot and dry
weather has prevailed over most of
Montana, with drought effects be-
coming noticeable in some quarters.
Little or no rain fell until Monday,
when afternoon and evening thunder
showers furnished light amounts in
scattered areas
Winter wheat harvest has started
with 10 per cent of the work fin
ished in Lake county. The best
yields so far come from Big Horn
county where yields of 80 to 40
bushels are reported, with 62 pounds
test weight. Yields below those of
last year, however, are expected
from such important counties as
Cascade and Fergus, while yields
from Choteau and Teton will not
be indicated until harvest gets fur
Their along.
Spring wheat yields in most
counties have been lowered by the
crop maturing too rapidly and in
some counties, notably Cascade,
Blaine, Teton, Valley and Fergus,
many late fields have either already
been damaged to the point of fail
ures or are in danger of becoming
so. Early sown spring wheat, and
crops seeded on summer-fallow show
less damage but are in general
need of good rains. Harvest is ex
pected to begin in from two to
three weeks in Valley county and
by Aug. Is in Richland.
Early barley is being harvested
with high yields reported for Com
pana from Wibaux where combin-
ing started late last week. Flax
is in the boil stage in Roosevelt
county. The crop is suffering from
Lack of rain in Teton, and late flax
needs rain generally.
Corn improved somewhat in areas
where moisture was sufficient but
was reported drying out in Phillips
county and still late as to growth
in Dawson.
Sugar beets are making good
growth where sufficiently irrigated,
but need water in Phillips. Both
sugar beets and beans are doing
we'll in Yellowstone, although a
few bean fields there have rust.
Sweet cherry picking is in full
swing in Lake county where the
harvest is reported 40 per cent
Peas are maturing fast
in Flathead county with harvesting
Raspberry picking is under
way in Ravalli.
Grasshopper damage continues on
a rather small scale. Sawflies were
reported last week as far west as
in Toole county.
With range grass curing rapidly
early marketings of livestock are
reported from Choteau. Several
counties report ranges getting dry
and in need of rain. Some fat
cows have been marketed from
and Prairie counties
while Cascade expects an earlier
marketing of stock as a result of
The dry spell.
