WILL HELP WESTERN MILLER Reductions Will Cause Shipment of Wheat to, DiVert from Customary Route East. Much Will be tiei.nt via Seattle sPort. The reduction of grain rates 'from Montana to Seattle, installed by the Milwaukee and effective Aug. 10 will start what is beiieved to he a heavy -movement ot grain to this point and greatly increase the soope of export business, in addition - to increasing the manufacture of flour and re- ducing the flour rate. The Milwaukee 'fias published its tariff and It Is annouinced that the Northern Pa- eitic and Great Northern will in- stall similar rates at an early date. The cut in these rates is f)re- liminary to the °Pealing of the Pan - ama Canal, when it is proposed by the North Coast HMIS to divert shipments of wheat from the custom- ary routes to St. Paul and the Attain; tie seaboard to Seattle, where it ;will be taken in bulk thru the Pan- ama Canal to the Uneted Kingdom and other large distributing centers. Primarily ft will heavily inorease the shipments of hard winter wheat to Seattle, which will be used as a port for over -sea shipments. Montana Takes Initiative. The initiative for the lower rates eras taken art the last seesion of the Montana legislature, when a ecamrmittee was appointed to - investi- gate rates and general railroad. condi- tions through the state. One of the painelpai subjects handled was that of interstate grain rates. This tommittee made its report to the Governor, with the ,request that the traffic officials of lines travers- ing Montana conifer with the commit tee' with a view of readjustment at rates eastbound. Westbound rate* !Were not discussed that time, the oammittee taking the opinion that the Montana farmer would profit by any reduction which sent his grain to Minnesapolis where the market prize was fixed. • The legislative committee went over the ground as to comparison of ratee in the United States as against those on the Canadian Pacific in shipping ceetens of the same relattlefe distance from the eastern markets. Rates were orcfered reduced by the (Montana railroad commisaion east- bound. As to antes weetbeun,d, the commission was silent. Milwaukee Cuts /Westbound Rate. Voluntaaliy, the Milwaukee, which took the position that it Is as tnuch interested in westbound as eastbound business, cut the rate to Seattle, it was further pointed out that it . reductions were not made to the coast the western miller wouldbe handicapped and would be forced to pay more than the Mune- spot* flour manufacturer. The new rates comprise Gallatin valley and the Judith Basin. The old rate from these points to Seat - (Continued on Page Two) SECRETARY LANE AP- POINTS SUPERVISOR I. D.

Week 4 before field work is pos- - sible every young horse intended - for service next spring should be -• broken to a dependable quantity. Except In unusual eases of rush work the tennis should cease work in time to cool off before the dampness and falling temper- ature of evening. The buyers demand style in drafters as well as weight. Farm horses that are not to be used through the winter should have a roomy paddock in which to exercise every fair day. _ One of the M081i important things is to- teach the colt to walk fast from the very start. Never hitch him up with a slow, unresponsive horse. When you begin to handle the colts keep it up every day.

Denver, Colo., Aeg. 13.(Special to the Inland Empire)..-iWith over 40,- 000 men in line General Jo.hir Chase end his committee of associate's will eonm and direct the gigantic Knight trampler parade here almost enamel ty telep.houle. A special central ewitchboand has been installed at conclave headquarters and by means Of branch telephones at short inter- vals\ along the 'line of march the committee will be kept in close touch with the movement and pro- gress of the vast army of marching 'Knights. Besides the host of Sir. Knights who are in attendance at the ° con- clave, there are over 100.000 visitors In the city and unusual and carefell plans haye been prepared for their comfort. Special plans have been arranged by the telephone company in anticipation at the great in crease in the number of telephone calls during conclave. For months past that company has been busy installing emergency telephones,, ad- ditional switchboard facilities and training the 150 extra operators who Twill be required -to assist the regtilew force in handling the pails. Over 2.50 emergency tedephoeies have been connected with the newspapers and hotels and information bureaus, and at various places along the streets telephones connected with the cen- tral -exchange have been provided for the convenience at visitors. Discussing the telephone prepara- tions for the conclave visitors an of- ficial of The Mountain States Tel- ephone Company said today;'Emer- gencies such as this require that we previde fecilities far beyond our us- ual daily need. The present conven- tion with its vast Intl= ot visitors and consequent increase of telephone calls is only a repetition of other conventions we have handled aad wild have to handle in the future. Out plant investment has always been and must always be, sufficient to take care of nott only the usual daily business, but the maximum number of calls that come to our switchboards. This le true not only of Denver and other large centers, but at each one ot our exchanges throughout our territory. Every telephone call must be handled an a unit. The provisions in Denver during the present conclave are such that each one of the daily 200,000 calls will be handled els prompt iy and es carefully as at other times. The careful study and preparation to provide tor the telephone needs of conventions and similar gather- ings ,shows quite conclusively that the business of the telephone corn papy, as welt as that of other ser- vice corporations, is unusual and 4004:414.,t, WHY FIELDS WASH.

COUNTY EXHIBITS EXCEL IN ORIGINALITY AND BEAUTY OF DESIGN. Montana's thirty-four prosperous counties will don the gala attire for the Montana State Fair, Sept. 22-27, and display an array of their richest re- sources to the eyes of the Fair guests. Each exhibit will reflect the wealth of its district; in truth, it will be a veritable mirror of the county's natural production. Last year the individual exhibits in the county booths totalled 6,680, as against 1,003 ten years ago. Early indications the; year point to an even larger number, as each district is in friendly rivalry with its neighbor to make a better display. At the Northwest Products Exposition in Minneapolis last year it was Montana's county exhibits that excited the greatest admiratibn, and which marked the state as the largest and most important exhibitor at the big exposition. that the difficulties which celebrant - them are not to be judged by every day standards. WINTER EMMER. Columbus Democralt;-Among the 'new grains being produded in the 'Saltwater valley there has been late- ly introduced a grain known as - Win- ter enuner, which so tar promises to be a valuable addition to the greens grown here. The grain resembles any, bearded grain has a. head 441ce wheat, but while it is yet green, is a very dark green in color. The stalk is strong and tall, being about the heighth of an ordinarily tall man. Prof Buff man, head of the agricultural station in Wyoming, ginated the grain some years ago, and since its comIng out has proven to be one of the best grains of its kind. For feeding purposes the pro- duct is considered equal in fattening properties to corn and it grows on dry land very well. C. W. El- ton, of Shane creek, seven, miles south of Columbus, is an enthus- iast for the grain, having raised it now for two years, and states hie last year crop averaged 160 baihels to the mere. Friday morning he brought in a sample of the grain, and if his whale field bears the marks which the sample does, his representations are very conserva- tive. It will be a good crop for ever* farmer to raise as a substitute for corn, if it continues to give the satisfaction which it now gives. It Is a l grain originated in the west, aind therefore atle.pted to the cli- niate, and easily insures itself to conditions here. IDENTIFICATION OF BODY FOUND ON LOUSE CREEK STILL A MYSTERY Lewistown, Aug. 10. -The remains /found a good sized jack knife. of the body found at the mouth There were some marks on of Louse creek, .where it empties ink the Judith, a mile and a halt from the Milwaukee bridge, was brought tc town yesterday and the officers turf now making an effort at identifica- tion. There was practically nothing left of the body except the skeleton, al- though the clothing is in pretty good 'condition. The man was six feet tall and wore_ a dark suit of ex- cellent material, tan shoes and a soft black hat. Two of the pockets of the trousers were turned inside out and the other had apparently been cut away. Near the body was the skull that might have been caused by some instrument, but this Is un- certain. Sheriff Tueock is inclined to think that the body may have been that of Louis B. Sherrell, a *oung homesteader from the Mocca- sin section, who disappeared some months ago. At that time the mis- sing man's father came out from Illinois to assist the officers In an effete to locate his son. No trace of the young Irmesteader was ever found, however. Coroner Creed and Sheriff Tullock, with County Attor- ney Marshall are endeavoring to fled some solution to the mystery. 640 -ACRE HOMESTEAD BILL I Prospects for the enactment of the 640 acre homestead bill recently in- troduced by Representative hiondeil have greatly increased since the Renouncement of the secretary of the interior that he favors thd idea. The Mandell bill provides for a minimum entry of 640 acres and a maitimum of 1,284 acres, belted on the grazing value of the lands, to be determined by the secretary of the interior. Permanent improve- ment of the land wilt be accepted in lieu of cultivation on these lame tracts. It is pointed out here that the en- actment ot the 640 acre law would make for immediate available entry. very considerable areas in the west- ern states, account of the fact that the tharacter of these areas -has already been determined by the government by their examination un- der the Mondell 820 acre homestead homestead law are only allowed after an examination of the land has con- vinced , the secretary of the interior of its non mineral, non timbered and non irrigable character.. and these examinations have already covered a large area in western states. such lands would thus become Once subject to entry under proposed 6140 acre law. (While the remaining character of western lands has made it desirable to considerably enlarge even this Maiden 320 acre law, the fact that general law granting a sec- t -ion homestead would not do has preVented Its serious consideration up to this time. It has remained tor the Wyoming man to work out a plan whereby such al law may be gen orally applied, making the legis- lation practical at this time. The Mondell plan is to have the areas designated in the same manner as provided for in his 320 acre bill, SSC , now , a law, the plan - having been Entries tinder the Present 890 acre fouad to work satisfactorily. All at the THE DAIRYMAN. The manager must supply the brains of the cow machine. The herd bull can get a lot of good exercise and incidentally furnish power for the feed cut- ter with the help of a treadmill. The dairy farm that is stocked to its full capacity without being overstocked is- a pretty safe in- vestment. Poor quality in dairy products can never be cured. It must be Prevented. Winter comfort in the cow stable does not imply an air tight room. There is a decided difference between a cow keeper and a dairyman. The calf stall should be plenti- fully supplied with good clean dry bedding.

Montana will have a brand new industry, of great importance in that It will consume the entire potato crop Of the Bitter Root valley and other producing i centers„ as shown wheni articles of 'incorporation were tiled with the count y °irk by M.

Its coming will mean that the ordinary work of peel- ing and cooking Potatoes will be done away with. A handful of the flakes and a Pot of water will nikee mashed potatoes for dinners In thousands of homes in the United States. Montana has been selected - as the starting point because of the qual- ity of the Montana potato. The prepared potato to be made by th new company will keep indefinitely. Alaska alone, it is anticipated, will consume the entire output far the first year. Several yews ago in Germany the Germans suffered from a po- tato famine. The Kaiser offered a 'fortune to the man who would In - vet a plan to preserve the spud. One year -previous to the famine,: thousands of tons of .potatoes were wasted. For months inventors and scientists figured to win the prize. The object was accomplished at last and now Germany preserves .260,000 tons 01 potatoes which would otherwise go to waste. In two years 400 factories were started and Germany is supplying the whole of Europe with that important factor of life. The incorporators and others in- terested have planned this fac- tory for months. The process of manufacture is sim- ple and Inexpensive. Potatoes are first washed thoroughly, peeled and cooked by lime steam, then mash- ed and rolled on a large cylinder dryer, which takes out all the water, leaving dry, crisp flakes that will keep indefinitely in any climate. - Butte Miner.
