Is to restore the old ratio of gold and sill

out gold and receives q fixed price for !

that means the price current in New

County Clerk Howard Crosby Issu eS q
Circular on the Subject.
F, County Clerk Howard Crosby has pre-
pared a circular relative to the necessity
of filing and recording all deeds pertain
ing to real estate, chattels and stocks. He
says;
"a large majority of the citizens and
taxpayers of this young county have
still in their possession various deeds for
real estate, such as patents, warranty
deeds, mortgages, final receipts, etc.,
which remain unrecorded and fail to ap-
p~reciate the vital Importance to them
selves and their posterity of Immediately
placing these papers ON record. 1t is a
protection to their property for them
selves and heirs solely and in case Of loss
perly recorded, a certiied copy will stand
equally as strong in law as the original,
but in the event of the destruction of the
original deed, the same being unrecord-
ed, unforeseen complications will eventu-
ally arise which will cause the legal
owner Of the property unnecessary ex-
pense and litigation and perhaps hold the
same in litigation q number Of. years, as
doubtless many known from past expert
ence In losses of this nature and now
fully understand the old but terse express
sion that ignorance of the law excuses
no man."
"Many deeds on realty are allowed to
remain in possession of the legal and
present owners of the property unrecOrd-
ed, through thoughtlessness or procras-
tinatioD on their part, and consequently
when they wish to sell, mortgage or 9th
erwise realize on their property, they and
their attorneys find a stumbling block In
an %unrecorded deed and a link IN the
| chain of title missing and are compelled
to record deeds which should have been
placed on record years ago, and then they
realize the risk incurred, by previous loss
of their unrecorded Deeds"
"The loss or destruction of deeds which
have not been recorded, will in the near
future create large expenses both to the
county and general public. This can
only be obviated by care on the part OF
the citizens in recording their deeds i'm
mediately after the transfer Is made, and
by SO doing establish their records on a
firm and true basis. The county is but
little over two years and the present Ii
the time to carry out In full a complete
and correct set of county records, not de-
ferring until papers of inestlmable value
are lost which cannot possibly be re
placed"

Robert Vaughn Tells Of the Greatness Of
Cascade County and Proolaims tho
Necessity Of Free Bridges.
EDITOR TRIBUNE: Much has been said
of late by the TRIBUNE of Cascade coun-
tvs greatness, its natural resources, etc. !;
Of It's great herds, great fiocks. great
pastures, great meadows, great plains for
farms, great irrigating channels, great
rivers, great water falls, the greatest
fountain known, the great dam across the
Missouri river, great bridges, great smell
ters, great coal fields, great quarries of
building stone, great iron deposits-and
Great Falls to be the railroad center OF
the great northwest.
In all of this and these we fully agree
with you, but there is one thing you have
omitted which is a great burden to the
citizens of Cascade county, and that is our
ferries and toll bridges. Many of us OF
Sun river and in the Chestnut valley have
been paying toll tor the last quarter of q
century. We have blazed the trails and
smoothed the roads for others to come
after us and help us hold the fol- until
the railroads came, bringing general
prosperity for our section. And now
that the home-seeklng immigrant is COM
ing hand in hand with the capitalist, In
five years, in my judgment, Cascade
county will have ten inhabitants for
everyone now within her confines and in
creased wealth in equal or greater pro-
portion.
In view of this fact we should have
free highways. To accomplish this we
must have free bridges on Sun river, at
the mouth of Sun river, across the Mis-
souri, at GREAT Falls and across the Mis-
souri, at Cascade. These are all impera-
lively needed and l am glad to see that
our board of commissioners have taken
that view of the matter and that the first
step toward securing these free bridges
has already been taken. Our taxes need
not be materially higher. All that is
necessary ia to bond the county for the
necessary amount and we will soon be
wealthy enough to pay of the debt, for
no county in Montana has more promis-
ing prospects than Cascade. l have
spoken to a great many taxpayers about
this matter and they all agree with me In
the premises. There are now four ferries
and two toll bridges in the county; let us
dispense with them at the earliest posi-
bly, day. Yours truly,
RoBERT VAUGHN.

Sale OF Outside Acres and Coal Lands In
the vicinity of Great Falls.
A. K. Barbour of Helena, and ]. o.
Gregg and ]. W. Stanton of this city, have
purchased from the Largent Bros. 100
acres of coal land at Sand coulee, which
includes the well known Largent or
Wren mine. This is the largest transac-
ton In Sand coulee coal lands since the
purchase of several thousand acres by the
Sand Coulee Coal company. The COZ
sideration is private.
Messrs. Gregg and Harbour have also
purchased of G. L. Matchan, of Minneap-
oils, 800 acres of land near North Great
Falls, the consideration for which runs
away up into the thousands. These gem
tlemen have options on other tracts in the
same vicinity which they expect to soon
close. 1t is worthy of note that Mr..
Matchan, who invested about $4,000 here
less than a year ago has now realized
many times that sum from the invest
ment. What pays better than realty in
vestments in a live town?

Death of Milo X. Parks.

News has been received of the death
atDavenport, Iowa, Jan. %, of Milo
K. Parks, a native of this village and
brother of Ezra A. Parks. The
Davenport Democrat gives some
facts which we Gull: Mr.. Parks was
taken with the grippe Jan. 23d,
which developed into pneumonia
which caused his death. Neither his
family or near neighbors believed
until within the last day or two
that his illness was such as to cause
alarm, and his sudden death comes
as a shock to all who know him.
Mr.. Parks was a native of Barnet,
and was born Sept. 10, 1919. He
grew to manhood III his native town
and for years was merchant there.
In 1857 he went west with consider
able money and settled in Daven-
port, where he was a merchant for
many years. A few years ago, he re-
moved to Chicago remaining there
two years. Mr.. Parks, during his
long career as a business man in
Davenport, experienced several fl
nancial reverseS which left him in the
end in poor circumstances. He was
married three times, the last time 10
years ago to Sarah A. Denniston.
He leaves three cEildren-Isabel M.
in LittletOn, n. H., and Carrie and
Milo Kent at home.
