LIST YOUR ROOMS!
With from 10,000 to 15,000 vis
itors expected here for the Eighth
Annual Roundup and the big
Shrine Ceremonial, sleeping ac
commodations for Bozeman's
guests are urgently needed.
The committee in charge of ac
commodations is on the job, but
for obvious reasons has not been
able to reach everyone.
All persons having rooms which
may be used for the accommoda
tion of visitors during Roundup
week and who have not already
listed them with the committee
are urged to register them at the
Chamber of Commerce without
delay.
This is regarded as a civic duty.
Bozeman has been put upon her
honor properly to entertain her
guests. Every resident should do
his or her part towards that end.
Have you done yours?

Robert E. Mowery left. here for
Washington under the urge that all
of us have, at times, to seek greener
pastures. Writing to The Courier
from EUensburg, Wash., Mr. Mowery
subscribed for the home town paper
and added:
I have bad (enough
Washington already. The old Gal
latin valley would look gbod to me
about now. lit is a darn good

DEVELOPMENT OF
CROPS IS HALTED
Last Week's Growing Conditions
Were Unfavorable, State
Reports Show
Temperature and climatic condi
tions were mostly unfavorable for
crop development during the week
ending July 17, says the repost is
sued by the United States and Mon
tana departments of agriculture in
co-operation with the state extension
service.
Eighteen of the 26 counties report
ing recorded warm, dry weather, with
hot winds in some instances. Local
shower^ w/ere reported in Gallatin,
Phillips, Sheridan, Blaine, Cascade,
Pondera, Lewis and Clark, and San
decs counties. Reports of county
agents indicate that generally the
soil contains a fair amount of mois
ture at depths of about three inches,
but small grains have already been
injured by excessive heat in some lo
calities. Thene has been some cut
ting of grain crops for hay, especi
ally in Custer and Toole, where fields
are said to be spotty.
Winter wheat harvest is in full
swing. Spring wheat harvest will be
gin in Sheridan about Aug. 1. Rye
in Phillips has been cut. Barley anil
oats in Fiahead, due to drouth, will
be short.
Com, beets and potatoes have been
making rapid growth. The canning
pea harvest in Gallatin county start
ed this week, with prospects favor
able. A break in the Yellowstone ir
rigatm canal in the early part gf the
week caused a temporary shortage
of water mi the Billings bench and
Shepherd jteUritory.
Livestock generally is in fair con
dition with abundance of feed.
labor supplies are generally ade
quate with a slight demand for men

per share, the company in its recent
offering was literally overwhelmed
by eager purchasers whose subscrip
tions exhausted the available supply
of securities in practically one week's
time.
As heretofore, the stock was sold
exclusively through employees of the
company, all of whom, from linemen
and office boys to managers and
auditors, employed all over the state,
were given an opportunity to benefit
themselves through their efforts as
sales people.
The stock was offered on a partial
payment plan whereby one fifth of
the purchase pric^i was payable at
once and the balance in monthly in
stallments covering a period of forty
months.
Officials of the company, partie

record of achievement a new mean

"This is probably thé most remark
able expression of public confidence
tfcalU the people of Montana have ever
given one of their public utilities, '
said Mr. Kerr,
We fed that in making our pa
trons partners of the business," he
continued, "we ar© gradually bring
ing about public ownership of public
utilities in the very best sense of
the word." „
Like other large industrial con
cerns, the Montana Power company
in this and all previous sales, did not
put out a new issue of stock, but
buoght these securities in the open
market and then offered them for re
sale on çasy terms exclusively to
residents of Montana."
"To those who are disappointed in
not being able to participate in this
sale, we dan only express our regrets
and hold out the hope that at not
too far distant date another offering
of Montana Power securities may be
made."
