COMMISSIONERS CONSIDER VAL.
uATIoN OF ROADS roo LOW.
FIXED FOR HEARING
Assessment of the Railroad MILEAGE
Will Be Considered by State
Board July 80.

Helena, July 21.-The indications
are that there will be something doing
in the Office of the state board of
equalization July 30. Upon that day
the persuasive representatives of the
railroads will be expected to make
their annual talk to the board in ia
vor Of a moderate assessment of the
road beds of their respective roads.
At the same time several county COM
missioners Of Montana are expected
to be on hand and urge the board to
raise the assessment of the railroads.
The hearing will probably take up a
couple of days.
The state board of equalization met
today for the first time in the new Of
flee in the basement Of the capitol. J.
j.. Ryan, the clerk of the board, in
formed the board that he had receiv-
ed the reports of all the county asses
sors of the state with the exception
of that Of Assessor Crosby of Custer
county. The latter had t~elegraphed,
however, that his report had been
sent and it will probably reach the
board in the evening mail.
The board decided to- hear the rail
road men July 80 and instructed the
clerk to notify the tax commissioners
of the different railroads to be on hand
at that time for the annual 'big' talk.
Mr.. Ryan telegraphed the railroad
men, also wrote them to that effect.
A petition vas laid before the board
signed by six of the county commits
sioners of Montana, who attended the
meeting of the assessors in Butte,
February %, in which the state board
is asked to make a substantial in
crease in the assessments of the rail
roads operating in Montana. A sim
liar petition was also received from
Assessor Darby of Ravalli county.
The board decided to hear the COM
m~issioners' and the railroad men the
same day and let them discuss mat
tiers. The session promises to be live
ly, and far from uninteresting.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
considerable pressure will be brought
to bear upon the board to increase the
railroad valuations materially as many
people feel that since there has been
such evident prosperity in the state as
shown by the reports of the assessors,
the railroads should also be asked to
stand a larger proportion of the taxes.

SURVEYING MONTANA ROAD.
Surveyors Are Now at Ubet and Are
Working Toward Lewistown,

Helena Herald: The Montana rail
road corps of engineers is working in
the vicinity of TIBET, in the Judith
Gap, surveying the route for the ex-
tension of the railroad from Harlow.
town to the county seat of Fergus
county. 1t is expected that the line
will soon be cr~oss-sectioned and that
grading operations will commence be-
fore long. .
State Examiner w. Hudnal who re-
turned yesterday from an official trip
to Lewistown brings the good news
of the progress of the work. He says
that the people in and around Lewis
town are just on the qui vive' over the
prospects of at last havin ga railroad,
and m that will place them in more
direct communication with the Capital
city.
81 tell you they feel pretty good Ger
the idea of having a railroad said
the state examiner. "They are all
logging for it in dead earnest. It
will prove to be- a great thing for
Lewistown and incidentally for Hell
ena."
MI. Hudnal says that the Judith
Basin country never looked more pros
porous, the splendid rains have caus-
ed grass and grams of all kinds to
grow luxuriantly and he never saw
the country lcok better. There is
plenty of water and the ranchmen are
wearing happy smiles.
Lewistown is very lively, and is
generally conceded to be the best
town for it's size in Montana.

Wealthiest Young Man in the United
States Plays Recluse-Is a
Good Dresser.

Orange, N. j., July 22.-The wealth,
lest young man in the United States
is porting ver his school books in
Orange, N. J. He is Marcellus Hart
ley Dodge, aged 10, heir to $50, 600, 900,
bequeathed to him by his grandfather,
the late Marcellus Hartley. He is a
strange millionaire.
In the summer colony at Orange
there are other wealthy young men.
h play golf, TERMS, polo, ping-pong
and billiards, and who find time to
firt mildly with the pretty Orange
girls.
But young Marcellus Hartley Dodge
has his own ideas of recreation.
For golf he substitutes grammar:
for tennis, trigonometry; for polo, po-
litical economy; and in place Of ping
pong, he takes a deep breath.
AS for girls-well. a man worth s6a,-
100000 and only 10 years old can af-
ford to wait awhile. Dollars have
wings and girls have not. So Mr..
Dodge proposes to learn the basic
principles of how to manage a vast
estate before cmbarking on the more
difficult problem Of a courtship or
Irritation.
Likes to Walk.
To most men, whether rich or poor.
the method of his days would prove
monotonous. He arises at z o'clock
and takes a walk. OF course, he could
have a horse. but his preference for
shank's mare is only in keeping with
the daily regimen of his life.
After breakfast he reads and stud
les. and after luncheon he studies
and reads. He has a faculty of at
tracing little attention owing to his
simple and quiet habits. To a fellow
student at Columbia he said, shortly
before commencement:

the waters leading to the Allegash
river, and came the entire length of
the st. John river to Fredericton.
Here they saw lots of game, includ-
ing dozens of moose. 1t was the
closed season, so the tourists were
restricted to shooting with kodaks.
They enjoyed some great fishing,
however. When the party arrived in
their canoes at Churchill lake, they
came upon a gigantic bull moose en-
joying a swim in the icy water.
Sam Cole, n guide of jocular turn
of mind, offered TO bet Mr.. Libby
that he could not mount the moose's
back. Without a moments hesitation
Mr.. Libby accepted the wager. He
leaped from the canoe and landed
squarely on the back of the animal,
which, frightened by the advent of
this unexpected passenger, promptly
sank to the bottom of the lake. Mr..
Libby held on TO the ears of the
moose and was carried down with
him. Beneath the water Mr.. Libby
deemed it wise to slide off the back
OF the animal.
The moose soon came TO the sur
face again, and 20 the great relief
Of Mr.. Wake and Guide Cole Mr.. Lib
by arose a second later. The moose
swami aimlessly around and seemed
to have lost his bearing. Nothing
daunted by his failure, Mr.. Libby pre-
pared to try again, and Mr.. Wake
got the camera ready. This time
Mr.. Libby landed well forward on
the back of the moose and rode him,
holding on by the ears, Tod Sloan
fashion, for about minute. He then
slid off the slippery back Of the ami
NAL, which swan TO the other shore
and disappeared like fash into the
