DRYEST WEEK OF SEASON TO DATE RANGES SHOWING EFFECT OF HOT WEATHER BUT CROPS IN GOOD SHAPE NEWS OF THE CAPITAL CITY Livestock Shipments From Montana in 1918 Were Only One -forty-ninth of Total Shipments in the United States Helena.—Montana had real simmer weather during the last week, accord- ing to the weekly crop bulletin issued by Meterologist William T.

The summary: \The week has been the hottest and dryest of the season to date. Tem- peratures of DO degrees and above were common, the highest recorded being 97, at Great Falls, on the twen- ty-second. Helena had .04 inch of rain Thursday; Missoula, .36 Inch Sun- day; and Granite county had one or two light showers; but there are no other reports of any appreciable radn- fall. The effects of the abnormal heat, the clear, burning sunshine, and the dryness, in many sections accentu- ated by winds, .have been serious on all crops. Generous- rainfall, if it comes soon, will greatly improve con- ditions. Low Water 'is already creat- ing apprehensions.. In Lincoln county mountain streams reached . their maxi- mum flow on the twenrsgthird and are * * * State Wins Suit.

This was one - sixth of the shipments from Iowa, which stnte, with 239,803 ears, la the Union. Illinois was second with 213,- 242 cars, and Nebraska third with 179,319. Missouri was a close fourth.

Montana shipped 15,688 ears of cat- tle, 546 cars of hogs, 9,475 cars of sheep. 497 cars of horses and mules, and 78 mixed cars. * * * Would Develop Resources.

The eonvention was attended by nearly 100 mining men front all parts of the stale, representing districts around Helena, Missoula, Butte, Belt, anti the southern part of tlw state. Discussion of the project was infor- mal. F. M. Smith of the East Helena smelter announced his departure from Montana July 1, and added that the smelter would co-operate OS much as possible te aid in developing ore bodies in 11Iontana.

RAILROAD COMMISSION WOULD MOVE COAL Consumers Urged to Place Coal Orders Early That the Railroads May Be Free to Haul Grain Ilelena.—The state railroad commis- sion has issued a bulletin on the coal situation. It follows: During the past two seasons the government, this commlesion and the railroads operating in the state con- ducted a vigorims ciunpaign request- ing that where it was possible to do so, all consumers of coal should lay in their winter supply during the sum- mer months. '1'lle request was made as a war measure in order to utilize the railroad equipment during the summer, thus releasing this equipment to move grain and other vonnuodities during the fall and winter season, and to pro - Vide against a coal famine similar to the one that existed during tile periial of 1916-17. Due to the extremely mild weather during the past two seasons the con- sumptiim of coal was greatly reduceil. This condition and the short crop en- abled the mines and the railroads to supply the demand throughout the en- tire year, and present eonditions indi- cate an average or bumper crop, whieh, during the fall and winter months, will tax the railroads to move. It is therefore essential that the consumers of coal should pursue the same policy that they halve pursued during the past two seasons and lay In their supply of coal during the summer months. At present this is possible, as the void mines are operating a few days each week and are able to forward shipments prompt- ly. It is therefore intportant that every farmer, householder and busi- ness concern should give this matter careful consideration, as it is abso- lutely necessary that the coal mines should operate throughout the entire year in order to supply the demand. From an economic standpoint this request should be given every consid- eration, as government regulation of coal mines has been removed and shoulit the demand during the fall and winter months exceed the supply It will undoubtedly affect the price of coat I.
