Browning RevieW to Suspend
is Reliable Report

The Pioneer Press was informed
by DR.. Gold, who was visitor here
Monday evening, that the Browning
Review would be discontinued, the
present publisher, James Drever,
finding 1t Improbable to longer
continue its publication in that tie d.
The fault may not be Browning's;
it is quite probable that Publisher
Drever was trying to combat a
condition that is taxing the resources
and ingenuity of every publisher
just now-the extraordinary advance
in the price of print paper and
other articles necessary in the pro-
duction of a newspaper. Within the
past six months a number of week
lies in all parts of the country have
suspended and if present conditions
persist there will be others prepared
to repeat the Romans salutation tc

Last week another corpora
ton was formed in our midst
to be known as the Portable
Flax Tow company. 1t as in
corporated for $4,000. and it's
directors for the first year are:
j. E. Ritchey, Geo. Pearson and
Henry Daily. R. NJ. Hattersley
was appointed secretary and
Charley Carroll local manager.
The corporation was formed
for the purpose of making and
operating flax tow mills. These
mills are portable and the mill,
with its equipment ready to
put in the field, can be man
ufactured for about $4,000.
We are informed that one of
these mills has been ordered,
and, if such is the case. we will
soon be able to see the PROPOSE
ton demonstrated. If success
full, and the future looks very
encouraging. it will mean
another valuable industry for
this section of the state.

Aha! That Ubiquitous Old
Republican Tariff!

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE
problem of raising revenue for
the government to avoid the
threatened deficit at the end of
the next fiscal year has assumed
such proportions that admins
tration leaders in congress are
reviewing the entire free list
to consider the advisability of
placing tariff duties on other
commodities than coffee, rubber
and wool, and increasing the
present tariff on sugar.
Revenues to be derived from
these four sources will fall far
below the sum needed. unless
there is a radical revision up
ward of the tariff duties origin
ally proposed on them. Esti-
mates placed before the ways
and means committee by treas
ury department experts are
said to show that under a max
imum tariff of five per cent
these four commodities would
yield not more than $50, 100000
annually and probably not more
$45, 100000. Secretary McAdoc
estimates that approximately
195,O0O.OO0 will have to be
raised by taxation in addition
to sums to be derived from pro.
posed bond issues.

Joseph Pope, superintendent
of the Montana Anti-Saloon
league, who is now in Helena.
says that it is possible the dry"
forces of Montana will seek to
put the statewide prohibition
law into effect On January l..
1913, instead of a year later, as
the referendum passed at the
last election specified. He said
members of the league feel that
public sentiment demands the
step. MIR. Pope also declared
that he had heard that certain
liquor interests would work in
the legislature for the repeal of
the prohibition act, but he had
no positive information on the
subiect.-News Item.
The Pioneer Press does not
think that Mr.. Pope correctly
interprets the sentiment of the
fair-minded people of this state
on the question. This writer has
taken the pains to interview a
great many people who voted
for a dry Montana at the last
election and in every case he
was told that they favored al
lowing the time provided
in the initiative measure for the
: closing of the saloons of the
state. The feeling is that this
allowance will bring about the
change with less friction than il
, the saloons were made to close
, sooner. One Cut Bank business
man expressed an opinion that
: will be shared by many others
when he declared that a change
in the sheriff's office in most o1
1 the counties of the state will bt
2 necessary before prohibition be-
t comes reality, as law enforce
g ment would be winked at by
0 many of the officers now il

Reason for Move

Plaindealer: 1t is rumored
upon excellent authority that
the main line of the Great Nor
thern railway between Havre
and Cut Bank will be electrified
and completed in time for the
handling of the heavy tonnage
next fall. 1t is explained that
this improvement is made nee
essary through the great i'll
crease of business betweel the
points named, and the difficulty
the company finds in securing
suitable water for It's engines
on this district as well as the
trouble experienced in securing
coal enough to handle the pres
ent business. The contemplated
change involves the expendit-
ure of several millions.

Buys a Gas Well

Keeping everlastingly at it
brings success" is the evident
slogan of the Anaconda Mining
company in its efforts to reduce
the cost OF producing it's copper,
says the Engineering and Min
ing Journal. No sooner has
some great or small saving been
announced in the mining or
treatment of it's ore than efforts
are centered on some other cost
reduction.
The latest effort to make fur
ther reductions is in the pro-
posed use of gas in its plants at
Great Falls and Anaconda.
With this in view the company
has taken over the Montana
Canadian Oil company, which
owns a big gas well along the
Montana-Canadian boundary.
The utilization of this gas well
means the laying of a pipe line
several hundred miles long.
1t is understood that the gas
will first be taken to Great Falls,
distance of Is miles, and used
in the smelter there. Experts
for the company have thorough
ly investigated the matter and
are said to have reported the
possibility of an enormous saw
ing in fuel costs.
1t is further planned to use
the gas for domestic purposes
in Butte, Anaconda and Great
Falls.
