A GAYER holiday week New York
N has seldom known than the one
\ Just ended and the gayety that
has been crowded into the
twenty -four hours has certainly never
been excelled. Literally from "eariy
morn to dewy eve and from dewy
sve to early morn" has there been
constant succession OF entertainments.
and no one but a New York debutante
could ever have stood the strain OF
such an amount Of going out. MOI
only has there been one entertainment
after another to attend. but the amount
Of outdoor exercise that has been OBJ
lisatory would in itself have been sun
hcient to tire out the ordinary indi'
vidual.
Skating has taken up . lot Of time
and the instructors have never been
% busy. And there has been skauns
In many different places. The unoc-
cupied lot at Ninetieth street ana F1fth
avenue has been extremely fashion
able. while all the indoor places nave
been we'll attended. In fact. skating IN
the city has been far moro SUCCESSFUL
than at any nearby country place. out
now all that will be changed ana WIN
the advent of cold weather the country
will prove q most serious rival.
The girls and the young men - Wen
a. older people are working most faith-
fully to attain proficiency in this new
accomplishment. There were few OF
the fashionable set in New York VINO
did not know how to skate already. put
the skating OF the past few years ID

parison with what II demanded OF the
fashionable world to-day Therefore

site. and In some extraordinary man
ner time Is found to practice ana
fine crop Of good skaters IL being
turned out.
Much was said in the beginning OF
the season az to the early hours tnat
were to be fashionable. a. many OF the
well known hostesses OF New fork
were quite firm in their protest
against the late hours that have pre-
vailed for the last three or four years
Apparently good intentions have
counted for naught. and the late
hours that are kept make q tre-
mendous strain upon tho business
ability Of the young men who are pop
ular at dances and unpopular In tneh
offices. From two to four hours OF
sleep seem not quite sufficient even

C>omrner ciaI Club BANQUET
Held at Fifth Avenue Cafe Tuesday Evenng-Address
By George z. Meer, Secretary State Board of
Highway Commissioners
Highway Commissioners

One method was to increase the
automobile license tax SO that the
average received from automobiles
would be $1,000 each providing a
fund OF approximately 100000,
which would take care OF the feder-
al aid money received during the
next two years He also stated that
q constitutional amendment might
be adapted providing for a special
one mill road tax on the entire tax
able property of the state. This is
the system used by Minnesota. Or
il it so desired special Improvement
districts could be created and pro-
perty abutting on the road would be
assessed to pay for the permanent
roads. Mr.. Metlen brought out
some facts in relation to the expen-
ditures of the Highway Commission
which were interesting to eastern
Montanans in this statement as to
the distribution of the fund secured
FUND has not been used in building
any roads anywhere in the state,
as after maintaining the bridge de-
partment and the other necessary
expenses OF the office, there was only
a small sum remaining for distribu-
ton, insufficient to be of value for
building. Consequently this money
has been retained in the Highway
fund and is being used to make the
bridge department more efficient.
These bridge plans have saved some
OF the counties large sums Of money
having standard specifications and
expert supervision where the sizs of
the work will warrant. The High
way Commission at the present time
maintains two field men on this bri-
dge work
Mr.. Metlen closed his address
amid hearty applause and upon of
lerlng to answer any questions a
large number OF those present a.
aValled themselves OF the privilege
and Joined in the discussion. All
agreed that the meeting had been
interesting and educational.
Mr., Metlen returned to Helena on

Malta attested to the spirit Of pro
gressivesness OF its citizens on Tues
day night by turning out in large
numbers to the supper given by Geo
r. Metlen, Secretary OF the State
Highway commission. About fifty
were present and listened with much
interest to an explanation OF the i'm
portant features of the Federal Aid
Road act passed by the last Con-
gress and which became a law on
July 11th.. 1916 This act appro-
PIRATES 75,000,000 to be used in
assisting the states in building trunk
line highways of a permanent ma
ture. The Highway Commission Of
this state is now arranging to de-
finitely locate five projects in the
state and Mr.. Metlen's mission here
was to try to interest the Commls-
sioners of Phillips County in financ-
ing one of these projects. Mr.. Met
len stated that the state itself had
no funds to take up this WORK and
if Montana was to benefit from ne
distribution CT this money it would
up to the counties to meet the Fed
eral appropriation. The state
through its Highway Commission
would furnish the plans and speci-
ficatons for the different projects.
To secure one of the projects for
Phillips county it would be neces-
sary that the county appropriat
$4,000 making in all $4,000
which would be spent in this county
on roads. This according to Mr..
Metlens estiamte would build and
hard surface about sixteen miles of
road, This road would be on a min
lmum grade and would settle the
upkeep OF that particular piece Of
road for the next five years possibly
as the maintenance on such road
would be partically nothing for that
period OF time. Several methods OF
raising money for the state Highway
fund were suggested by Mr.. Metlen.

This site consists OF four lots which

Of the deed was filed with the Car

without this deed, our application
