The agricultural industry in the great northwest and the advances made in the mechanical aids to farming are shown in this film. Great tractor engines do the plowing, rolling, planting and harrowing in one operation. Enormous grain elevators are a common sight in the agricultural districts. There are scenes at the famous copper mines, showing the loading of the valuable ore, and interior views of one of the numerous smelters. Nothing seems to stop the onward march of the railroads. After leaving Great Falls, Montana, the ride is one of unusual beauty. Ahead of the train rise the blue, transparent-looking peaks of the Rockies. Passing the magnificent Gate of the Mountains the view turns into an immense amphitheater of rock which nature has painted in a beautiful combination of never-fading tints.
Released as a split reel along with Sidi Hadji Moursouik (1912).
