Rails Ready 10 Move
Biggest Wheat Crop;
Boxcar Supply Better
~ the Asseeioted Press

CHICAGO, May 2o.--Railroads
which ssoon viii start to move the.
first billion -bushel winter wheat
crop In the Nations history re-
ported today that their boxcar sup
ply situation was improved over last
year.
However. they agreed that trans
porting such an enormous amount
of grain will present a tough
problem"
WHhin the next 10 days harvest
ing OF this fabulous crop-believed
to be the largest any nation ever
produced-wiil start in Texas.
Harvesting will progress north
ward through Oklahoma, Kansas
and Nebraska, and when it is over
around mid-July a whopping store
Of wheat will have been added to the
food supply of world desperately
In need Of bread.
Some Cars Stored.
Explaining that the Association Of
American Railroads had ordered
Eastern lines to supply TIT cars a
day to Western roads, the Santa Fe
said, "the Eastern lines have been
cooperating better than last year
and we have stored some cars in
the grain territory. Last year we
had none stored.
Considering the enormous pro-
duction+all lines will have some Diff
ficu1ties," the Santa Fe said, but
we expect the crop to be easier to
handle than last year, when the
grain seemed to come from all points
at once. We expect more normal
northward harvesting movement
this year"
The Santa Fe said new elevators
had been built along its lines, while
capacity of older elevators had been
increased Most elevators now are
empty and are standing by for the
new crop" the road added
More Cars Needed.
An indication of the increase In
cars which will be needed was sup
piled by the Rock Island, which
estimated 1t would move $1,000 car
loads OF grain between June and
August % compared with 22,27S car
loads last year.
THE boxcar situation is definitely
better than last year" the Rock
Island said, "and we have more cars
available right now" The road
added it intended to move some
grain in hopper cars, of which it has
about 200 with top covers to pro-
tect the grain.
The Burlington said that, accord
ing to present indications. wheat
harvesting should begin about May
as in the Wichita Falls (TexD re-
gion.
I'VE are not too optimistic that
we can get through the season
without some shortage OF cars" the
road said, "as we will go into the
season with very few more cars than
we did last year and we expect
crop II per cent higher than in 1916
and 80 per cent above the l0-year
average"
Agriculture Department officials
estimated the crop, as of May l.,
would total l l,o25, 78s 900 bushels, but
private reports since that date have
said the outlook has further i'm
proved. sgt

Judging Ballots in
'0'Conor Seat Contest

A Senate Elections Subcommittee
today began to make decisions on
the validity OF s,624 disputed paper
ballots from five Maryland coun-
ties in the States contested Novem-
Der Senatorial election.
This group of ballots was still in
dispute after representatives of
Senator o'Conor. Democrat, and his
Republican challenger, D. John
Markey. had agreed on. the dispos-
ition of a large number from the
five counties already recounted. De-
tcision on the 5000 votes is now up
/ to the subcommittee headed by

counties.

voted to discussion of the procedure
to be followed. The ballots are to
be divided into more than 80 cate
gories, he explained, depending on
the nature of their markings.
More Money Asked.
The Senator predicted the job
might be finished in 80 days, but
observers from Maryland who have

thought the process would take
much longer.

vestigation is expected to be much
higher than originally estimated.

Rules Committee yesterday intro
duced a resolution to give the COM
mittee an additional $85 600. An

UNIV and Operators
Resume Talks; Early
Showdown indicated
By james Y. Newton

John L. Lewis United Mine Work :
ers and representatives Of the soft
coal industry outside of the South
were to resume negotiations here
this afternoon amid indications of
an early showdown on new contract
terms.
Federal coal officials. while not
taking part In the bargaining, said
it probably would be known this
week whether Mr.. Lewis and the
IS per cent OF the industry with
which he is doing. business could
get together on an agreement to
replace Government operation 'o1
the mines.
The UNIV Policy Committee met
yesterday for discussion of demands
to be made on Northern and West
ern operators and also to sdecide
whether to bargain separately with
members Of the Southern Coal Pro-
ducers' Association.
The Southern association has re-
fused to bargain on an industry
wide basis, although its members
have expressed a desire to dicker
separately with the union. UNIV
sources have reported, however, a
split in Southern ranks on the ques-
ton of a national coal contract.
Union officials refused to report
the decisions made by the policy
group.
! 1t was expected that within a few
days it would be known just what
the union expects in new contract
and how far the opera tors are will
ing to 60 in meeting the demands.
The Government has operated the
mines since the coal strike year
ago, but must return the pits to the
owners by July /, date Of expiration
of seizure powers of the wartime
Smith -Connally Act.

April Is DeadIine
For State Income
Tax Return FiIing

State income tax returns must
be filed on or before April 18th.
The Income Tax law provides for
a penalty if the tax is not paid on
or before that date.
The State Board of Equalization
at Helen state that more than
1900 taxpayers fail to meet this
April 18th dead line each year.
1t is just as important that state
income tax be paid on time as it
is that property tax payments be
made on or before November Both
each year.
The Income Tax Department is
doing everything possible to per-
suade every taxpayer is file his
return now.
T h Z imposition of penalties
was never intended as a revenue
measure. 1t is only a reward to
those who are punctual in filing
their returns.
Of the half-million men, wo-
men and children living in the
S t e of Montana, one out of
every six file state income tax re-
turns.
Payment of tax by check, bank
draft, postoffice or express money
order furnishes a perpetual re-
cord of payment. Never n d
cash by mail unless the letter is
registered.
Blank forms have been mailed
to all who filed 1915 returns. The
Board of Equalization will fur
nish blanks promptly upon re-
quest.

Norman Elected Mayor
Juveniles Returned
10 Reformatory

Two local juveniles were taken
to the State Reformatory School
at Miles City Wednesday follow
ing their attempt last Saturday
night to burglarize the Browning
Bakery.
They were part of the trio who
committed a series of burglaries
here several weeks ago when
they boldly crashed display win
dows and sought to escape to
Kalispell with their stolen loot.
They were committed to the
State Reformatory by Judge
Hattersley following an investi-
cation by Sarah Withee, District
Juvenile Officer.
Shortly after t h cir arrival
there, they were returned to
Browning for treatment for a
communicable disease.
Escaping from the Agency Jail
last Saturday night, they ap-
parently sought a "fugitive's
stake" by attempting burglary
of the Browning Bakery.
They entered through the rear
of the establishment, crawling
under an outside door and crash
ing a door panel of an inner door.
Bill Manchester, bakery en-
ployee, entered the place just as
one of them had fully gained en-
trance. They managed to escape,
however, but an investigation,
together with their signed con-
fession, identified them later.

Browning Soldier
Endures Alaskan
Classic Winter

Pfc. Archie Salois, Browning
youth, can truthfully say that he
has gone through the hardships
of one of the Far North's most
bitter winter seasons. !
Serving with the Army Ground
Force Winter Testing Unit, Task
Force "Frigid", his outfit operat-
ed in temperatures even lower
than 60 degrees below, according
to a public relations release from
Seattle.
The release in part is as fol-
ows:
Pfc. Salois will be able to boast
of having lived in the open dur
ing one of Alaska's coolest win
tiers. His friends will probably
hear tales of climbing out of a
sleeping bag and dressing in
temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees
below. They will hear how quick
ly faces and noses would freeze
and how the Buddy System" of
watching prevented serio s
harm.
A cold soldier is not an efficient
soldier. "GI Joe'' has been test
ed, too. The Army had to be sure
that the clothes worn were suff-
Gent to keep man warm in ex-
ccuciatingly low temperatures.
There is still much to be learn
ed about Arctic Operations that
will have to wait until cold wea-
ther sets in again next year. The
surface has only been scratched
in the field of Arctic Warfare
Investigations.
We must dig deeply to be pre-
pared to defend the Liberty, 50
many in the past have died for,
and protect the heritage which
we hold as Americans.
