church and had stood there, visible
for a considerable distance from the

was also used for the purpose which

dawn TO call the laborurs, another
opened the official bureaus, II third
called the councils and the fourth
tolled out the requiem of persons who

many observations from the tower.
The campanile was begun by the
doge Pietro Tribune in the year SSS
In 1929 1t was restored. Nearly Al cen

stone top. and in 1917 the figure of
the angel was placed mt the summit

the fine colossal statue of an angel
formed of plates Of gilt bronze on n
wooden core. The campanlle was built
on a foundation of ten foot piles OF

chose the sunset hour for ascending

roundings could be obtained. Indeed.
to ascend the tower was the only way
TO understand the intricate plan of the
city, which from the top of the campa.
nile was spread out like map, with
all its spires and churches and distant
islands. while beyond could be seen
the snowy Alps. The tower was al

NO VOTING ON RESERVE
Judge LIQUIDS Decision on Grow Reser.a-
tiOn application.

Just as the NEWS was going to press
last Friday word was received here by
wire that Judge Loud had decided
that the county commissioners of Rose
bud county could not legally establish
registration or voting precincts on the
Grow reservation, therefore sustaining
the Commi ssionerS.
Brief mention of the decision was
made at the time, but the followingMiles
City dispatch will show how our rag
time contemporary was justified in
firing it's TRADE of vituperaton at the
board of commissioners when they Sc
gregated this portion from the voting
list
Judge Loud today rendered the de-
cision in the case of certain parties in
Rosebud county to compel the commits
sioners of the county to establish a
voting precinct on the Burlington right
of way across the Crow Indian reser-
walton, the court decree being adverse
to the petitioners.
The ground taken by the Judge was
THAT the strip covered by the right of
way had not been despoied of its
reservation character. In arriving at
this conclusion the court is understood
to have held that the grant of the right
of way to the Big Horn Southern rail
way was a grant of use merely. 1t
did not appear from the records that
the grant had ever been by an agree
ment with the Indians and the grant
itself does not purport on its face to be
any more than Il privilege to pass over
the reservation; that there was nothing
i'll the act to show that it was intended
to be exclusive; that the Indians were
debarred therefrom, or from any reser-
walton privileges thereof, or that it was
intended to take the strip in question
must be held to be reservation and no
voting precinct can be legally esta
blished theron.

DOES NOT LIKE LAW.
State Land Register Has Criticism to
Make

Make.
81 don't believe that the legislature
intended that the more improvements
that were placed upon the land leased
from the state, the state would receive
proportionately less price for the
land when it was sold. The present
condition of the law placing no limit
upon the amount of improvements upon
leased lands cost the state of Montana
about $4,000 at the present land sale
in Flathead county,
State Land Register T. D. Long,
who has returned from Flathead coun-
ty, where, September IL, he conducted
the most successful sale of lands ever
held in the west, gave utterance to
these sentiments.
II feel quite certain, as l have
already said, that if there had been a
limit upon the amount of improvements
to be placed upon state lands that we
would easily have received $4,000
more for the sale of the lands in Flat
head county, continued the state land
register. ''You see the improvements
placed upon leased lands by the lessee
must be paid for by the purchaser of
the land. This deters many from bid
ding as large a sum as they might
otherwise offer for the land. l think
the land should be sold upon it's merits
regardless of eXtravagant improve
ments. OF course a limit of $50 for inn
provements might be all right
Regardless of any drawbacks that
might have come from the score, Mr..
Long admitted that the land sale was
a very successful one. The state rea-
lied about 100000 from the sale,
which will probably hold the record
for several years as the banner land
sale. Mr.. Long estimates that the
average price of the land was about
$3.50 per acre. Nearly all of the
purchasers were lesses of the land and
two were familiar with it. All of the
purchasers paid 80 per cent down,
while three paid for their purchases
outright. The sale was held in the
court room, which was crowded.
Mr.. Long says that the present year
has been prosperous one with the
F1athead county crops of all kinds,
being unusually large. The county
fair that has just been held at Kalis-
pell has proved to be a great adver-
tisement of the resour ces of the county.

We have another active weeks bust

brought 55c. Fine clothing Wyomings
have sold at a clean cost of 470l SOC.
Medium Montanas have sold at q clean

largely. Short Utahs have been in
better demand, and we note a sale of
100, GOO pounds. a good deal of it in
the original bags, at 15M15Rc. A
graded lot of fine but very heavy wool
was sold at about 1oc. The fine and
