Montana millers and the state railroad commission oppose it arguing elevators on the Pacific coast would siphon Montana flour and undermine markets in Washington and Oregon. The article notes the risk that Montana’s principal market could be lost unless export shipments can be guaranteed. A Ford offer from L F Douthett Auto Co appears in the ad snippet.

Hunters Start Forest Fire Near Lost Lake West of Livingston
A damaging forest fire started by careless hunters burned over 75 acres of timber near Lost Lake in West Boulder country about 20 miles southwest of Livingston. Firefighters, including forest rangers Kauffman and Regan, faced fast spreading flames with more than 40 men sent from nearby towns. Local hunters from Livingston and Bozeman reportedly left the scene, while ranchers aided in containment and forest officials warned about dry conditions and the need for fire safety.
