Published Semi -Weekly THE MINERAL INDEPENDENT Tuesday and Friday VOLUME ONE. NUMBER 32 SUPERIOR, MINERAL COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1915 $2.00 PER YEAR ALBERTON ROD AND GUN CLUB W. H. Forry, one of Alberton's progressive young business men, was a recent caller at this place. Mr. Forry is secretary -treasurer of the Alberton Rod and Gun club, an organization composed of prominent citizens of that place, the object of which is for the betterment of fish and game conditions and the stocking of streams in that vicinity. E. E. Martin is . the president of the organization, W. T. Adams, vice- president, and Charles White, field captain. All are active in furthering the purposes of the organization. Mr. Adams is now engaged in the raising of Chinese pheasants, and finds that Alber- ton offers ideal climatic condi- tions for this specie of fowl. Although they are very hard to raise, he reports an exceptionally small per cent of loss. TORPEDO EXPLODES Warren Westfall Seriously Injured In Hand. Warren Westfall, the nine- year -old son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Westfall of Ashmore, sus- tained a very serious injury Monday - when he used a goo sized stone on a railroad torpedo which he had found along the Milwaukee track. The torpedo exploded in his hand which was badly torn and bruised. He was taken to the St. Patrick's hospi- tal in Missoula for treatment and every effort is being made to save the boy the use of his hand, although it is not as yet assured how successful the oper- ation will be. McNUTT BUYS OUT PARTNER The grocery firm of Vance & McNutt, doing business at Alber- ton, has been dissolved, S. J. McNutt purchasing the interest of Mr. Vance. These gentlemen came to Alberton about a year — ago and have built up quite a lucrative business. Mr. McNutt announces that the same quick and efficient service will be ren- dered as in the past, and ex- tends his appreciation to the citi- zens of Alberton for their patron- age and earnestly solicits new business. NEW TRIAL IN GLOVER SUIT DENIED The motion for a new trial, made by the C., M. & St. P. Ry. in the case of W. H. Glover against said company, was de- nied in the district court at Mis- soula a few days ago. Glover entered suit against the railway company for injuries received while in its employ and was awarded $1,500 damages in the Missoula court last spring. CONDITION OF MARKET Washington Farmer Expresses His Opinion On Wheat Outlook and Statement Is Verified By Government Reports. A. E. Brooks, of Spokane, is looking for a ranch location in this vicinity. Mr. Brooks has ranched in the state of Washing- ton for many years, and spoke at some length of the mistaken policy of the present Washing- ton wheat grower, who is hold- ing his wheat in the belief of a certain strong advance later on. By this policy the wheat la -rowers of that state have lost out for the next few years is the opinion of Mr. Brooks, who states that there is a surplus of from 40 to 50 million bushels of wheat at present in the state of Washing- ton. The following would seem to bear out the gentleman's statement: Europe needs about 550 million bushels of wheat between now and the next crop. The United States will have a surplus of 350 million bushels of wheat to sell. Canada has a surplus of 150 million bushels. The Argentine has a surplus crop of 100 million bushels. India and Australia have a sur- plus crop of 50 million bushels. --Reuentims at her ports on the Black sea, awaiting the opening of the Dardanelles, 250 million bushels. Great Britain can buy of Can- ada, Argentine, India and Aus- tralia, all of whom are her debt- ors, and pay for her purchases with sterling exchange at par. Sterling exchange between this country and Great Britain is at a large discount and Great Britain will naturally buy in markets where the rates of exchange are in her favor. If the Dardanelles should be opened in 60 days Europe's needs of 550 million bushels can be supplied without one bushel from the United States. If the farmers generally hold their wheat in the belief of a certain strong advance later on, it will be mistaken policy. The wisest course is to refuse to hold the crop back for a rise, or rush it to marlset in such quantities as to break prices. This means steady marketing by the pro- ducer as his convenience permits; so that he will, at the end of the season, have Ileceived the aver- age market price for the season. We have published the above to put you in possession of the facts. The figures are from government reports. We, sug- gest that you advise your cus- tomers accordingly, so that they may not be persuaded to either extreme, while having due warn- ing against the possibility of loss later on if there is a general dis- position to hold back their wheat now.
