There will be antics and funny cap
ers galore at the big masquerade ball
to be given by the Moose on Mon

chants in town have ordered costumes
which they will rent out on that night.

NEW RATES OF
ASSESSMENT
County Assessors Adopt New
Schedule For Taxation.
BENEFITS HOMESTEADERS
Those Who Make Improvements on
Land Will not be Taxed too Heav-
lily for Their Labors.

The State Association OF County AS
SCISSORS, in session in Helena, last week
adopted the schedule of assessment
rate as submitted by the various COM
mittees. The schedules were not ad-
opted however, without an extended
discussion.
BY means of these schedules the
basis of assessment on different class
es of property is uniform throughout
the state. AS adopted they are as fol-
lows:
Banks and Merchandise
Capital stock, surplus and profits,
less real estate consisting of banking
house and fixtures as returned by the
assessor. Then assess Is per cent of
the remainder, which we believe rep
resents the actual cash value of the
property.
Merchandise
Merchandise to be assessed as all
other property based on last inven-
tory, if taken; if not, then by sworn
statement.
Telephone, Telegraph and High Power
Lines.
Pole lines, one copper wire per mile,
$85.
Each additional copper wire, $25.
Pole line and one iron wire, $50.
Each additional iron wire per mile,
S..
High Power Lines
Single pole line, without wire), not
to exceed per mile, $500.
Each wire on same per mile 1925.
Double pole line without wire), not
to exceed per mile $1,000.
Each wire on same 1925.
Tower Lines
Single tower line (without wire)
not to exceed per mile. $1,125.
Each wire on same, S225
Double tower line (without wire)
not to exceed per mile, $2,25O.
Each wire on same, 1925.
The above figures on high powe,
lines are computed on the basis OF
what is known as an 80" wire, and
smaller or larger wires are to be con-
sidered by the assessor.
Livestock
Stations, Jacks, and saddle horses
left to discretion of the assessor.
Range horses left to the discretion
of the assessor, but at not less thar
$35 head.
Work, driving horses and mules
from $50 up, depending on the grade
of the animal.

RECEIVE MANY INQUIRIES
Commercial Club Busy Answering
Letters from Eastern Farmers.

Prospects for large influx of pros
pective buyers of Valley County farm
land early this spring appears to be
very good according to the large num-
ber of inquiries being received almos.
daily at the Office of the Glasgow Com
mercial Club. Seekers for informa-
ton have written from almost every
state east and west, and the Club Of
flee has been kept extremely busy
sending out replies and booklets.
Many of these inquiries are from
farmers who are at the present time
renting the farms they are working
but who wish to own their own place.
Many of them are financially situated
so that they are able to purchase land
such as is obtainable in the vicinity
of Glasgow, where values have as yet
not taken on any very marked ad-
vance. While the land within ra-
dius of so miles about Glasgow is re-
congized as the richest and most pro-
ductive to be found in Montana and
has every ingredient wherewith the
present large yields will be possible.
year otter year with proper cultiva
ton, the price per acre is still so very
low that is furnishes an opportunity
for those with but small means to Sc
cure a desirable farm at remarkably
low valuation.
A very large portion of the inquir-
les received are the result of advertis;-
ing being done by the Commercial
Club in eastern farm papers. The
returns from this method of attract
ing attention to the advantages of this,
section of Montana are most pratlfy
ing and appears to be a most profit
able method to persue, as the secur
ing of only few of those who ASA
for information as permanent settlers,
will result in sufficient additional busi--
ness for the city to repay the outlay
and expense.
Many people of the eastern states,
are still of the opinion that Montana
is waste of undesirable land where
living is an eternal risk to live among:
the savages. All this must necessari--
ly be entered upon with the greatest
of care, the easterner thinks, and it
| becomes the duty of the Club to cor
rect the impression. Many Of the let
ters received are filled with the most
unreasonable demands for obtainable
information, while others ask for the
number of schools within the section,
the distance to water, how far from d.
railroad the city is and many other
questions requiring considerable time
and attention in giving the necessary
details that the inquirer will be able
to understand that farming in this
section of Montana is practically as
easily done as in their own locality.
The coming year should see many
new residents established in Valley
county, the population should be ma
terially increased and this will result
in the assessed valuation of the county
becoming much greater for the year
1915 than the natural increase will
tend to make it. Farm values should,
as result, take move upwards and
altogether the general results of the
years work Of the Commercial Culh
should become evident to the observer
through these conditions.

The Renick law applies only 20
the five first-class cities OF the
state. and was primarily aimed,
thru the efforts OF the Chamber Of
Commerce. against the Seattle city
council.

Mustn't Borrow Own Money
The council asked Bradford II
the city would he permitted TO use
idle funds in the banks TO pay off
interest on bond issues as they &C.
crued.
Bradford replied that the Renick
| law compels the council to make
separate budget allowances and to.
raise such money by tax levy--that
the city cannot borrow its own
money temporarily.
Altho Bradford is convinced in
his own mind that the Renick law
is unconstitutional, he says.
~ cannot shut my eyes to the

tainty attends the conduct OF judi

so foolish as to guarantee with GER

therefore advise your body to
play safe. and take no chances.
IT You follow this suggestion, you
will therefore be compelled, by rea.
son Of this law. to include in your
budget amounts sufficient To meet
