McHeffey is in charge of the work at Deep creek I grade which is progressing nicely. The crew is now, however, wait- ing for cribbing to be shipped in from the Henderson mill. The Milwaukee railroad has agreed to stop the train near the scene of action, thereby allowing the logs to be unloaded on the ground, saving the county considerable expense of hauling the timbers several miles from the nearest station.

The report shows as follows: Three billion bushels of corn, one and a half billion bushels of oats and a billion bushels of wheat are in prospect for this year's American harvest. Record crops of rye, white and sweet potatoes, tobacco, rice and hay are also predicted for the farmers who have planted 310,546,- 000 acres or 10,000,000 acres more than last year, to their principal products. Greatest Ever Known The wheat crop, the greatest ever known in any country, will be worth more than $1,000,000,000, while the corn crop's value may reach $2,500,000,000. Estimates of the principal crops announced today by the depart- ment of agriculture based on conditions of August 1, show that all crops will be greater than last year. Improvement Shown Interest centered on wheat and corn. Both showed improvement over July conditions though excessive rains and cold wyather in the central states interferred with threshing. Oats also suffered in these states, but in other sections the improvement more than off- set this. Corn Prospects Increase Corn prospects increased about 100,000,000 bushels, the prin- cipal gains being Illinois, 30,000,000 bushels; Kansas, 24,000,000; Oklahoma, 26,000,000; Nebraska, 15,000,000; Iowa, 14,000,000 and Texas, 10,000,000. Kansas showed a loss of 12 million bushels in winter wheat; Okla- homa, six million; Nebraska, four million and Missouri three mil- lion, while Ohio and Indiana showed an increase of three million bushels each. Potatoes Will Break Record White potatoes promise to exceed their former record production by 103,000,000 bushels and sweet potatoes by 4,000,000 bushels. Other increases over record crops indicated include tobacco twenty- eight million pounds; flax, 4,200,000 bushels; hay, 2,400,000 tons and rye, 1,300,000 bushels. Corn prospects fell 206,000,000 bushels and oats 16,000,000 bushels below the records. Northwest Crops Good The winter wheat forecast for Montana averages 25 bushels to the acre and exceeds the A 9 I iLpioduction by 5,137,000 bushels.. The `crops in North Dakota and Minnesota are reported by experts to be the largest in five years.

FEDERAL LAWS TO BE ENFORCED The state game wardens have received a circular letter from the U S. department at Wash- ington, calling attention to the migratory bird law and announc- ing the intention of the depart- ment to see that the law is strict- ly enforced this year. In some respects the federal law does not conform to the Montana law, but in such cases the department will insist on the enforcement of the federal regulations. In the western counties the state law says that there shall be no shooting of ducks and geese until Sept. 1.5, while the federal law says that the season opens for these birds on Sept. 1. In the eastern counties the open season begins Sept. 1 under both the federal and state laws. The Montana game law allows the open season for water fowl up to Jar. 1, but the federal law closes the season on Dec. 16. There is also a good deal of the same confusion with reference to snipe, plover and shore birds. The federal authorities have shown a disposition to listen to recommendations in regard to thern conflicting laws, but there will be no public hearing, nor will the regulations be amended prior to, [Oct. 15. RACE MEET A FEATURE AT FAIR Western Montana's Second Annual Show Program Is Rapidly Veing Com- pleted. Will Sur- pass All Previous Events. LARGE PURSES OFFERED Missoula, Aug. 27. —The announce- ment of W. G. Ferguson, secretary of the racing association, which is in charge of the racing program, carries with it the assurance that the racing program at the Western Montana Fair this year will be away above the aver- age of such meets held here for several years. Although the racing committee has been rather reserved in its an- nouncements this summer, due to the unsettled condition of the racing game in Montana since the bill prohibiting race-track gambling was passed, a careful canvass of horsemen has been made with the result that assurances have been given that many of the beet strings of horses, both saddle and har- ness, will be in the state for the fall fairs, especially at the state fair. In fact the committee filled four of the harness races as soon as the entries were open, one a day for each of the four days of the fair, Sept. 29 to Oct. 2. This is more than any other racing association filled at the opening of the entries. The plans contemplate two harness events daily, one daily race and one an over -eight affair; a relay race with a two-mile lap each day, and all of the running races that can be put on the program. The relay will undoubtedly be a thriller. It will be for a purse of $600. Because the state fair is offering $1,500 for a similar -event it la likely that all the strings attracted to Helena will c6rne to Missoula after the extra $500. A number of inquiries have already been received from owners of relay strings and enough promises se- cured already to make the event one that will surpass the relays of stampede week here. The general preparations for ,the big Western Montana show are advancing rapidly. Secretary Lawrence reports that he has on hand three times as much produce as went into the state and county exhibits last year. The big posters will he put up this week.
