The Cavalier people will insist that il
is possible to make building fund ou,
OF remaining balances in five funds tha,
have nothing in them because three
have no existence, and the other two
are hope]essly+in debt.
They acknowledge however, that
there is no way making an "extraordin.
ary expenditure without vote of the
people" except by the way of this same
"building fund.-"
But they say that by some hocus.
pocus money may be taken from the
county general fund and then by calling
it sinking fund" that such "sinkinR
fund.- may beput into building fund.
You can't. Why? Because the 1903
law that provides for the transferring a
remaining balance from q certain
''sinking fund" specifies what that
sinking fund is, it is the balance from .
sinking fund created to pay bonded
debts, that's all, no other is named.
There isn't word in that 1903 law
which they quote that authorizes any
money to be transferred from the gener-
a fund evenin the form Of sinking
fund to the building fund. The law
does say however that these same
moneys, SO specified, can be transferred
to the county general Misunderstanding
goes from the latter to the building
fund. They have sent copies OF that
1903 law to most every taxpayer, read
1t. and see il the sinking fund there
named has anything to do with the
money in the county general fund even

MONTANA LOSES
TO Utah TEAM
Agricultural College Wins the Third
Straight Victory in Treasure
State.

Bozeman, Mont. Nov. 9.-The foot
bell team of the Utah Agricultural
college rushed the Montana "AgGics'
eff their feet in the first few minutes
II play at the local grounds today and
won their third straight victory In
Montana. The final summing up was
10 to 0, the result of three touch
downs, field goal and a place kick
nom the thirty-five yard line Three
braces by the locals and two place
kicks that went bad prevented The
Mormon players from swelling the
score. The visitors were never threat
ened during the entire contest and
kept the ball In "Aggie" territory for
the greater part of the time
The first score came in the first
minute OF the play, when Paddock
dropped back and booted the ball over
from placement from the thirty-fivo
yard line. A few minutes later Crook
ston WAS sent over the "Aggie' line
for a two-yard gain and a touchdown,
md before time was called for the
fist quarter the "Aggies" took a de-
cided brace and neither side was able
u score, although the Utahns had all
the better OF the argument,
The local team did not play its us
Gal game. but at their best they
could not have done better than hold
the Mormons TO one or two touch
downs
The visitors played like a well,
handled machine. fast. consistent and
sure. while the "Aggie" line PLAYED
straight up and could not stop the
man advancing the ball Time and
again the Utah backs would slip past
after two OF three men had tackled
them. The speed and team work of
the visitors enabled them to gain
through the back field almost at
will, and they were forced to punt
only few times.
THE field was wet and slippery
and anything bu, straight football was
out OF the question.
