Forestry's Receipts Make
Slight Gain Over Pre
ceding Year.
FUTURE IS BRIGHT
Prospects Are for Record
Breaking Season During
Coming Fiscal Period
The receipts from timber sales from
the national forests of district No. 1
of the forest service for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1917, will be only
slightly* In excess of the receipts for
the preceding fiscal year, according to
the semi-annual report of the depart
ment of silviculture of this district,
which has just been completed. The
delayed coming of weather favorable,
for logging operations, which has pre
vented early logging work, has had a
considerable effect on the timber sales
in the district. According to estimates
mad« in the report, the receipts from
timber sales for the fiscal year of
1918, which will end on June 30 of
that year, will he J90.00O in excess of
the receipts for the present year.
Cut Mad* in 1917.
The report gives the total estimated
cut for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1917, as 188,000,000 feet, valued at
$444,000. The estimated out for the
coming fiscal year of 1918. is given as
260.000. 000 feet, an increase of not
quite 40 per cent. A timber cut of
308.000. 000 feet in the district during
the fiscal year of 1919 is predicted.
The cost of timber sales administra
tion during the fiscal year of 1917
amounted to $62,000, an
average of ■
about 35 cents per 1,000 feet of timber j
cut. The stumpage prices received
varied from 50 cents to $6 per 1,000
feet, averaging about $2.50.
In the reforestation work done by the
department last fall a total of 2,200
acres was planted. An intensive plant
ing survey of a total of 34.660 acres
was made in district No. 1 during the.
past season, at an average cost of
seven and a half cents per acre. Twen
ty-six thousand acres were covered by
an extensive planting survey, at an
overage cost of one cent an acre.
Many Plant« Ready.
The report from the Savenac nur
sery at Haugan, which furnishes all
the plants used in reforestation work
in the district, shows that there are
1,264,000 plants^ ready to ship at the
nursery, while ' there are 2,000,000
plants ready for transplanting. It Is
estimated that the nursery production
for the fiscal year of 1918 will be about
3,000,000 plants, and for the succeed
ing year 4,000,000 plants, which is the
authorized capacity of the nursery.
Among the most important improve
ments installed during the present
year are a machine sand spreader,
which spreads sand over the seeds
after they are planted In the beds with
a saving of 500 per cent in labor, a
root pruner, and a tree lifter. The
forest service is planning to make a
number of improvements -at the nur
sery during the year, the project in
cluding the realignment of buildings,
the establishing of an arboretum and
the Installing of a sewer system.
COMPLETION OF ROAD
ASSURED TO HARBET
"Northern Pacific officials In St.
Paul assured me that reports of a
complete stop to all railroad work In
Montana are not true, so far as they
concern the Flathead branch." said
James F. Ilarbert of Poison, who
stopped In Missoula last night on liis
way home from a two weeks' trip
through the middle west. ' Work is
proceeding briskly from tioth ends of
the branch, and I am ofilcially in
formed that construction will continue
unless a labor shortage arises. The
road will probably be in operation by
September I."
Mr. Harbert is enthusiastic over the
Flathead's prospects. This year is go
ing to bring great prosperity to Poi
son, he says.
"l'ou can't rent a house there now,
and hotel accommodations aren't eas
ily secured." he said. "Poison is grow
ing so fast that you can almost watch
it come along. Now that the, lake is
open building has begun and will con
tinue."
Farmers on the Flathead, Mr. Har
bert says, may he depended upon to
do their utmost to increase the food
production this summer.
"Easterners are beginning to real
ise Montana's power, now that food is
In demand," he said. "St. Paul Job
ber* are greatly interested in this ter
ritory. That is not to be wondered at,
for this state is going to produce tre
mendous amounts of food, i don't
think a single man should be taken
from Montana for the army. Every
man in the state who can be spared
should be put on the land."
Mr. Harbert was greatly pleased
with conditions In the middle west. He
visited St. Paul, Duluth, Chicago and
other cities.
"Everywhere patriotism is evident,"
he said. "I found no one who is not
behind the president and the middle
westerners are for conscription to a

NORTHERN PACIFIC
MAY TAKE OFE
ONE TRAIN
I,ocal officials of the Northern Pa
cific yesterday refused to confirm
report that the Northern Pacific will
take off at once one of its passenger
trains between St. Paul and the coast.
It is known, however, that such a move
Is being contemplated, and will prob
ably be made In the near future, if the
war continues. It is said that the trip
recently made by George T. Slade, first
vice president of the Northern Pacific
rood, who Is in charge of tlie operating
department of the road, was In direct
connection with this matter and other
features brought on by the war situa
tion. Mr. Slade returned to St. Paul
yesterday. ,
The through trains now running be
tween the const and St. Paul, the east
ern terminal of the Northern Pacific,
are Nos. 2 and 4. ensthonnd, and Nos.
1 and 3, westbound. Nos. 41 and 42
run through to Kansas City via the
Rurlington. It is thought that one of
the former trains will probably be the
one affected by the proposed order.

Development of a carefully handled

"Continued service," said Mr. lilod
gett, "is the answer. We have given
ourselves to the farmers in the
Judith Basin. We have not been con
tented with words; we have given
time and money to them. We. have so
impressed them by proving our
neatness with facts that we have brok
lown that barrier which
to lie found between urban and rural
populations. The. result is that we
have made Fergus county one great
big neighborhood, have made the city
of Fewistown a prosperous place and
a mighty fine place to live in, and
have made the Fewistown Chamber of
Commerce a real power."
Charles Millionter, manager of (be
Palace hotel and a chef of 23 years'
experience, won close, attention and
warm applause with a short discus
sion of economy in food. Not limita
tion of use. said Mr. Millionter, but
elimination of waste is the sort of food
economy needed in this country.
For example Mr. Mullemer made one
or two suggestions concerning the
preservation of vegetables and the tise
of left-overs. He volunteered to make
available for Missoula housewives all
that he has learned about food econ
omy In a quarter-century of practical
experience.
Officers of the chamber of commerce
said last night, that some way of pre
senting Mr. Mulleiner's valuable in
formation to Missoula women would
surely be found.
Following these speeches came short
general discussions of relief, food
speculation and a Decoration day ob
servance. Cpon motion by Professor
William Aber of the State University
the meeting authorized President
Stone to appoint n central relief com
mittee to take charge of the collection
of all relief funds. Otto Benson was
the author of resolutions unanimously
passed, calling upon congress to put-a
stop to food speculation and placing
the chamber of commerce back of an
appropriate observance of Decoration
day.
President Stone, at the close of the
meeting, announced the personnel
committee to direct "Ruy-at-llomc"
campaign. On the committee are
Walter Manson, local manager of the
Rtone-Ordoan-Wells company; Fester

and William N. Dixon of the firm of

Government's Call for
Met With Hearty Response
Banks Unwilling to Give Exact Amount of Subscriptions
Made—Several Large Applications Made
and Others Pending.
Missoula pocketbooks were opened
wide at Uncle Sam's call yesterday.
The announcement, made through The
Missottllan yesterday morning, that
subscriptions would be received by
local banks for federal 316 per cent
bonds of the $2.000,000.600 issue author
ized Thursday, brought immediate and
generous response.
Focal hankers were unwilling to say
last night exactly how much had been
subscribed, but they Indicated that
Missoula's contribution on the first
day was in the neighborhood of $100,
000. One of tile city's four banks,
while not making known the sum of
its subscriptions, announced that one
purchase of $13.000, another $10.000
and a third of $5,000 worth of bonds
had been handled over Its counters
dining the day.
From Country at Largo.
Washington, May 4.—Subscriptions
to the Fiberty Foan poured into the.
treasury department today at the rate
of nearly $20,000,000 an hour. The
greatest outpouring of national wealth
in the history of the world was fore
shadowed by the first day's response,,
to the offering of the loan.
The sheaf of telegrams from every
section of the country grew larger ns
the day progressed despite the undi
vided exertions of a staff of clerks as
serting and classifying the offers of
subscriptions. Five hundred tele
grams, less than 2 per cent of the. total
number of banks, from which replies
are expected, had been classified by
states and tabulated when the office
clbsed at 4 p. m. These 500 responses
carried offers of subscriptions to the
amount of $138,674,000.
The greatest flood of responses came
between 4 and 6 p. m„ after the offices
had closed. It was estimated that 300

more banks were heard from within
the two hours.
The $138.674,000 of subscriptions tab
ulated tonight representing less than
2 per cent of the banks alone, indi
cates that the $2.000,000,000 offer will
be oversubscribed at least 100 per cent.
With all other agencies of subscription,
such as department stores, express
companies, newspaper and patriotic
societies yet to be organised and to
exercise their efforts in obtaining sub
scriptions, the over subscription may
be much larger. Should the ratio of
the first responses be maintained in
replies from the other banks, the banks
and their customers alone would offer
subscriptions totalling approximately
$7.000,000.000.
One subscription of $20.000,000 was
received from a. bank In New York,
another was for $5,000,000. The small
est subscription was $5,000. New
York led the list of states with sub
scriptions aggregating approximately
$72,000,000, more than half the total
amount.
Among amounts subscribed by the
first banks to respond, grouped by
states, were;
Iowa, $710,000; Minnesota, $160,000;
Montana, $25,000; Nevada, $25,000;
North Dakota. $170,000; South Dakota,
$75,000; Wisconsin, $510,000; Wyoming,
$175,000.
PATRIOTIC TEA IS SUCCESSFUL.
The patriotic tea given at Craig hall
yesterday afternoon by the ladies of
the faculty of the University of Mon
tana and leaders of the patriotic or
ganizations in the city, proved not only
a social, but also a. financial success.
The net proceeds of the function
amounted to $67. This money will find
honored place in the treasury of the.
Missoula Red Cross society, of the
University Hod Cross society and of
the Woman's Patriotic league.
