tie, president of the school board, who
was appointed by that body to confer
with Mr.. Donahue, manager of the An
aconda Copper Mining company, and as
certain whether the company will pay
their share of the Illegal scnool tax to-
ward continuing the term, will make his
report to the board. Mr.. Tuttle has not
given out the result of his interview with
Mr.. Donahue, but it is understood the
company will pay it's share of the illegal
tax if the citizens of Anaconda will do
their share There are a great many
taxpayers who will not pay any part Of
the school tax except that which is legal.
The company, it is said. will do better,
and if tWo-thirds or half of the IL
legal tax will be paid by voluntary SUBJ
scriptions the company will pay two
thirds or one-half of their share of the il
legal tax, which would create sum suf-
