Estimates 4,1 p | ace the crop on the Montana division of the Great Northern 'Mûre than 30,000,000 bushels. This does not include any of the cm marketed on the central Montana lines from Havre south or Shelby south. * : - There has been over . K „- hp u «hipped off the Montana divi 5fîp to date, of the 1927 crop There are a few desultory pieces of threshing being done north _ot the high ime which is remarkable in itself as the'quality of such grain is good In most instances, especially if it has been given some protection by being properlv stacked. There is approxi mately "three million bushels still in the country adjacent to points on tiie Montana division. Of the vast amount of grain al ready moved by the Great Northern four million bushels was from off the high line, exclusive of Havre, which point moved something over a million bushels alone. The second district of the Montana division which includes Havre station, moved 4,900,000 bush els, and the first district loaded and shipped 4,500,000 bushels. The Scobey branch shipped 0,200,000 bushels and the balance of the grain making up the 26,000.000 bushels was shipped by the Watford and Richey branches. The folowing stations have shipped over a million bushels each: Richey, Watford City, Wolf Poin, Malta and Havre, while Rudyard and Hingham on the high line are approaching the three quarter of a million mark. This crop has been moved without any shortage of cars. There having been empties at all times available and awaiting to be loaded, and during the fall when deliveries were heaviest the loads were moved without delay and so smoothly that there was no in dication that a record crop was being moved. This indicates the interest the Great Northern officials have in the communities which they serve. It was necessary that plans be made as early as last spring to move this crop such as accumulating the cars where want ed and see that they and the power was in good condition. How well the plans were laid, the results speak for themselves. 26,000,000 Another Mysterious Fire Burns Scobey Business Establishment Outlet Store Goes Up In Flames Despite Efforts of Fire De partment to Stop Destruction of Building and Goods.

Senator Bruce Asks Walsh About Sen sational Rise in Power Stock After He "So Successfully Championed the Cause of the Montana Power Co. , . . - Helena.—The injection of the name of Senator Walsh into the presidential campaign as a candidate against Al Smith has caused a split in the ranks of Montana..Democrats that may take some time to heal. All over the state democrats are discussing whether Walsh is a "stalking horse" put up by. the Me Adoo faction to de feat the New York Governor or a legitimate candidate. u Is Walsh a "Stalking Horse The great mass of progressive democrats in Butte and Helena maintain that the Walsh candidacy is "a spite campaign" instituted by the discredited ex-Secretary of the Treasury to injure Smith« whom he hates with all the bitterness of a disappointed man. On the other han <* Herbert Peet, Jos Kirschwing and John Holmes and Dr. McGreg m t _ „ . _ or > "f""* Great J all f, . democrats. say Walsh is no stalking horse' and that they will (attempt to get a delegation from Cascade county to the state Convention pledged "Walsh for President or Bust." Tom Stout of Lewistown is favorable to Walsh but not against Smith. Tom has lauded the "great statesmanship" of Senator Walsh so long and so loudly that he now finds it diffi cult to do anything but support the gloomy Teapot Dome investigator. A Modern Balaam J. Bruce Kremer, National Commit teeman and plumed knight of Montana Democracy, is back from his pilgrim age to Washington where he worship ped at the shrine of Andrew Jackson and drew new inspiration from the memorable assemblage of democratic diners at the Mayflower. Mr. Krem er was counted in the Walsh column t • . , „ r, _ , , Lieutenant McDowell relumed from trip through the south and west in on journey changed to Smith when he saw the overwhelming sentiment in favor of the New York man evident at the Jackson dinner. Like Balaam of old J. Bruce started out to curse Smith. But paralleling the scriptural example the Ass spoke to Bruce and the dis tinguished orator remained to pray the shrine of the man he intended condemn. Kremer, besides being mocracy's silver tongued orator is garded as his party's shrewdest poli tical guesser and strategist. His com ing out for Smith forecasts the way the wind is going to blow. Erickson, McDowell et al for Walsh Governor Erickson delivered speech recently in which he declared himself for Senator Walsh.

Maloney has backing *)£ the y ? u ". ger aad aggressive- jw^on of his party. Judge Bourqum, lead mg progressive democrat, who is spoken about for the Senatorship in every part of the state, does not hesi täte to declare himself in favor of Yorke J* * ¥T i Wheeler on the Fence As Usual Senator Wheeler is doing some tight rope walking these days. He is re ? s « V t. St poc J et . ap Y® nda S of Walsh. He has to be for him be cause he gets his^gmdan^on national problems, such as the World Court, etc., from the senior senator. Walsh to his rescue whenever some more agile debater,on the Senate floor sews him up. Anillu. teation in point is when recently Wheeler wa? speakl ? « ia fav ° r ed by the Montana Power Companj lease the Flathead dam, La Follette shot the junior senator some embar rassmg questions that had the ffect of forcing him into aculde sac. WaJ. came to his rescue, got him out of the trap and then led the fight for tne leasing of the dam. Wheeler told the This or comes few as bad Methodists he addressed on his recent trip that he was not in favor of Smith. However, he was a Smith man in the populous wet centers like Butte, Helena and Great Falls. On account of the delicate situation and the fact that he is up for reelection he will probably assume an. ostrich like attitude and hide his head in the sand. Or he may go back to his old: Nicaragua trench and help to "Save the Marines" from Sandino's men am bushed in the Bulrushes. From tan Independent Source The usually well informed Martin Hutchins, editor of the Butte Miner, in an editorial entitled "Can Walsh Win" says: The senator is gambling for a large stake. If he loses, his ca reer in politics may be at an end. Whatever the outcome of the presidential ambitions of Senator Walsh, the certain result is a wide open split in the democratic party of Montana that will not be healed before the expiration of the sena tor's term, a little more than two years hence. The clever politician is the one who plays a waiting game. If there is a republican ambitious for sena torial honors in the election of 1930 he should be interested in this situation. He may be servir" Mon tana under the administration of President Walsh. Either that, or the senator may be in political re tirement engaged in the writing of memoirs of a life of noteworthy service to his state and country. Campaign Funds Careful observers say that Walsh must capture the Montana delegation if he is to have any standing in the convention. There is little chance now that he can get it by the "Complimen tary delegation" route as suggested by Mr, McDowell and received with such loud guffaws by the Smith men. It is conceded that Walsh is a rich man who is not stingy with his money when his own interests are at stake. It is rumored in Helena that he made a .. bi stake .. on the ris e uf Montana ^ Power during the passage of the Flal^ head rumor not confirmed the following inter change between Senator Bruce of Maryland and Senator Walsh as re ported in the Congressional Record of March 14, 1928, is interesting: Mr. President, I want to ask the Senator from Mon tana whether it is true., as 1 have seen stated, that immediately after tne Senator from Montana so successful , cha mpioned the claims of the Mon tana Power Co with reference to the Flathead Reservation, the stock of the Montana Power c went M t recollect> from 105 to 168. MR. WALSH of Montana. President I am unable to -advise the with respect to the matter to which he alludes. I am able, however, to advige him that for M)rm , time prior to the time when j S() SUCCESSFUL LY CHAMPIONED THE CAUSE OF THE MONTANA POWER CO., as re lated b the senator, the stock reached rather unusual proportions. That rise, so £ ar ag m information goes, ante dated b gome months the discussion to which the Çenator But I might also atdd that the explanation ( , u ^ e easy, because since that time it ig reported that a combination and consolidation between the Montana p ower Co. and the Washington Power ^ have been accomplished, and it is now po pu | ar i y believed that the rise j n p r i ce Q f the stock of the Moiv tana p ower Co. was occasioned by the prospect of that consolidation, MR BRUCE . Perhaps, however, the previous rise in the value of its s t 0 ck was due to the anticipation of Senator's success with reference to the Flat head Reservation. MR.
