Many Opine That Porto Rican
Products Have no Effect
on Market.
San Juan, P. R — (Correspondence
of The Associated Press.)—Efforts of
sugar producers and others to get to
gather in some concerted pffort to re
lieve the present depressed sugar situ
ation so far have failed.
R. Abov Benitez, president of the
Sugar Producers' association, has been
in favor of the formntion of a selling
committee, the holding of sugars until
better priees prevail, and an ending of
the practice of shipping sugar to New
York unsold to be kicked about the
market and finally purchased at any
prices the refiners offer. Mr. Aboy
Benitez is of the opinion that unsold
sugars in New York have helped bring
about the unbroken drop in all sugar
prices during the past few weeks.
1,250,0§0 Tons in Cuba.
While there are some other pro
ducers and others interested in the
sugar business who agree with Mr.
Aboy Benitez, there are apparently a
large number of interested parties who
are convinced that Porto Rico sugars
are too small a factor in the situation
to affect the market one way or the
other. They say there are 1,250.000
tons of sugar in Cuba ready for ship
ment.
With the gradual winding up of the
grinding season in the island, it has be
come apparent that there are more
than 200,000 tons of sugar here avail
able for shipment at a time when prices
are lower than any time during a five
year period and meaning a loss on ev
ery pound of sugar sold.
Large R. R. Crop.
It is generally estimated that an av
erage cost of $6 per hundred pounds
for producing this year's sugar crop is
conservative and that any price under
that will mean a loss to most of the
producers in the island. The crop is
the most expensive ever harvested in
the island, and the low priees which
have prevailed have been particularly
hard on the actual cane growers.
J. Ruiz Soler, secretary of the
Sugar Producers' association, who lias
recently been in the states and who
sailed again on Wednesday, said that
lie did not know what the future mar
ket was going to be, but that he was
opposed to any plan for holding sugars
with the hope of a better market later
on. Conditions were too uncertain for
the adoption of such a course, in his
opinion.

Boom for Milk River
Valley Planned by
B usiness Inte res ts
Conference at Malta Sept. 6 Called by Malta
Commercial Club; Aim Is to Get Water Diver
sion With Canada Settled and Settlers in.
Malta, Aug. 27.—A great boom that will develop the
possibilities of the Milk river valley, bring about irrigation
of its fertile acres and draw there competent agricultural
Bettlers is the undertaking to the task of which the Malta
Commercial club has hitched its energies. It is to become
a land of milk and money if the club can accomplish its
ambitious designs.
A meeting of the club was held Wednesday night to
discuss ways and means to get in settlers and turn its un
developed areas into fecund farms.
The Commercial club decided to call<$>
a meeting of all the bankers and com
mercial organizations of Milk River
valley, to be held at the court house
on September G. to formulate plans as
to proper methods of procedure. Some
of the most prominent development
men of the west will participate in this
meeting.
Communications from bankers and
other commercial organizations of the
valley were read at Wednesday night's
meeting, making inquiry regarding the
proposed meeting at Malta in the near
future.
At the irrigation meeting held at
Malta August 15, suggestions were of
fered by Dr. Newell of the U. S. Recla
mation service, and Charles D. Green
field, immigration agent of the Great
Northern railroad, that some concert
ed effort be made by the reclamation

HIE RAISED
Company Ordered to So Adjust
New Tariffs as to Reduce |
Charges at All Points.
Helena, Aug. 27.—Disapproval of
the new Northern Pacific tariff on cat
tle shipments from points on the C., B.
& Q. in Montana to points on the for
mer road within the state was an
nounced Saturday by the railroad com
mission.
The commission rejected the new
rates, it was said, because, while at
certain points they effected a reduc
tion, at other points the new tariff
is higher than the present combination
of rates based on Huntley.
The towns which would suffer un
der the new tariff are Big Timber,
Wilsall, Livingston, Gardner, Manhat
tan, Anceney and Sappington. Thei
railroad commission has asked the
Northern Pacific to issue a supple
ment correcting the over-charges.

about a speedy settlement of the land
controversy of this project.
The Commercial club is making every
effort to get the farms under irrigation
divided into smaller areas, and to get
into the valley irrigators who are
skilled in irrigation work, to settle up
the farms and get the vast areas of
land under irrigation to the stage of
production where it will pay.

Fifty Per Cent of Assessment
Is Required From Employ
ers; Low on Conditions.
Helena, Aug. 27.—Income from as
sessments made by the state industrial
accident board will total $202,981.07
for the fiscal year of 1921, according
to Chairman Jerome G. Locke. This
sum will be only 3 1-3 per cent of the
amouut that could be assessed by the
board under the law.
During the first year of the indus
trial accident board, which began oper
ations in 1915, 75 per cent of the legal
amount was assessed against employ
ers of the state. Since that year, only
50 per cent of the maximum amount
has been required.
The 33 1-3 per cent assessment this
year is said to be based on general
conditions and cannot be taken as a
criterion for future years.

Sansome $10 to believe erroneously
that his automobile had been stolen.

been issued for a Ford. They arrested
him when he returned a short time
later to say that he had merely mis
placed the car. The police judge fined
him $10.

Special to The Tribune.
Whitefish, Aug. 27.—A specia ltrain
brought 40-odd bad order box cars to
Whitefish from Havre this week for
repair in the local shops. This will
require the addition of a number of
car repairers to the force here, and
while the work may perhaps be only
temporary, it is likely there will be
more cars sent over later on.

all suffering from lack of moisture.
Hill—Weather the past week unset
tled with local showers and dry,
days. Where wheat is being threshed,
it is yielding from six to 10 bushels per
acre, with a few reports up to lo
bushel». Oats are mostly being cut for
feed, due to the low price and grass
hopper damage. There will be_ an iü
crease in the fall rye acreage this year.
Teton— Grain is ripening rapidly.
Weather conditions favorable. One
evening .14 inches of ram fell. On the
dry lands, grain was too short to out
with a binder and it is being headed.
Will probably not yield any more than
enough to pay expenses. On irrigated
land there will be a fair crop. .
Fergus —Frequent showers during
the week interfering with harvesting
operations. Early threshing yields in
dicate that the crop will not be quite
as large as anticipated.
Cascade— Light showers; weather
generally cooler. Winter wheat is
yielding'all the way from seven to 4S
bushels per acre. Spring wheat thresh
ing not yet begun. Winter yield of oats
has been reported 100 bushels per
acre. 43 pounds to the bushel.
Stillwater— -Local showers with a
little hail. All grain crops harvested.
Summer fallowed wheat harvesting 20
to 25 bushels. Stubble wheat yield
ing three to eight bushels. Average dry
land yield is about 15 bushels. Corn
is stiil in fair conditions, but is being
damaged some by excessive dry weath
er. Range getting very dry and short.
Lewis and Clark— Weather generally
fair with several good local showers.
Harvesting is advancing rapidly. Move
ment toward the market has begun.
Madison —Some hail damage is re
ported to grain crops on the lower
Madison. Threshing is under way in
most parts of the county.
Flathsad —Cool, cloudy weather with
some rain and light showers. Winter
wheat is being threshed and yields of
25 to 30 bushels are beiDg reported.
Spring wheat will fall somewhat be
low. Only one farm has reported yield
of 40 bushels. Potatoes will yield a
better quality crop than last year and
probably a larger number of Jiusliels
per acre. Sunflowers and corn are
better than previous years.
Sanders —Some good rains fell over
the county during the week. These
timely rains are improving the pros
pects for the potato crop in the west
end of the county. Winter wheat in
the plains district will average around
25 bushels.
Ravalli —Week has been showery
with low temperature. Will help the
potato yield but delay their maturity.
Fruit prospects are better and it looks
as if the county would produce fully !
as much as last year. Livestock in
good shape. Slight shortage of labor.

What the Chandler Motor
Means to You
It means much to you. It is the exclusive Chandler motor, found
under the hood of no other car. It was designed by Chandler engineers
eight years ago, and has been developed and refined by the same
engineers through all these years.
Thousands of owners named it "the Marvelous Motor/* And it is
distinctly that. The Chandler motor is alive with power. It furnishes
all the speed that any right-minded driver could ever want to use. It
readily climbs in high any steep hill or long mountain ascent that anv
car can climb. It pulls, easily and smoothly, through deep sand or mud.
You can throttle it down to three miles an hour in congested traffic and
step away like a flash from less lively cars. Its flexibility is not surpassed.
The Chandler motor never overheats, no matter how hot the day,
how hard the pull or how fast the speed.
