TREASURE STATE WEALTH
MORE THAN Two BILLION
New System of Assessment Increases
States Assessed Valuation Three
Hundred Per Cent.

Property IN Montana will be assess
ed at more than two and a quarter
billion dollars, according to estimates
made by John Edgerton, executive as
sistant of the state board of equaliza-
ton. Last year the total was $685.
SOP, $50. This increase of nearly 300
per cent in assessed valuation is made
under the recent legislative enactment
requiring that all property be assess
ed at it's real and true value.
For taxation purposes the property
of the state has been divided by the
legislature into seven classes, and the
owner will pay taxes On from 7 per
cent to 100 per cent Of the real value,
according to the Legislative determine
ton of the productivity of the prop
erty.
"The increase does not mean that
taxes will be greater in 1919 than in
preceding years." Mr.. Edgerton said.
"The assessment Of property has moth
ing to do with whether taxes are high
or low. Taxes will be high or low only
as the legislature, county commission
ers, city councils and school trustees
manage their affairs and spend the
public moneys"

FOE NENAGERlE CAPS
YANK SHOW ON RHINE
Germans Enjoy Wild West and Indian
Stunts in D0ughboys' Three
ring Circus.

Coblenz, July 12.-American soldiers
who captured Cantigny and scored var
ious other victories against the Ger
mans are performing in a three ring
circus this week for the entertainment
of the soldiers along the Rhine. Hun
dreds of German civilians We're per-
mitted to witness the performances
by the payment of an admission fee of
one mark.
The first division is presenting the
circus at Montabaur, and the first per-
Torrance was given today. The circus
will continue four days, with two per-
formances daily. Excursion trains
were run, today, from Coblenz to Mon
tabaur, for the benefit of the soldiers
of the second and third divisions.
The opening performances, today,
were witnessed by at least 10000 per-
sons, including Major General Henry
7. Allen, the commander of the Amer
lean forces along the Rhine, and scores
of French and British officers. There
We're sideshows and refreshment
stands and all the other accessories of
a regulation circus. The proceeds will
go to the division entertainment fund.
A parade is held daily in Montabaur.
Army trucks have been camouflaged to
represent circus wagons and rumble
over the cobblestones of the town
along with elephants, bears, camels
and ponies from the Hagenback cir
Gus. There are a number of trained
animals.
All the human performers are SOL
diers, including bareback riders and
acrobats. There are wild west fea-
lures with Indians, a stage coach and
all the fittings. The Germans appear
ed to enjoy the circus as much as the
soldiers. w..
Rehearsals for the circus began sew
eral months ago. Three hundred sol
diers of the first division took over a
village neal Montabaur and spent all
their time in training and preparing
equipment for the show. Many of the
costumes worn by the clowns and other
performers were made by German
girls, in spite of the anti-fraterniza-
ton regulations.

business section of the town, but
mainly through efficient work Of the
volunteer fire department., and the
fact that the wind "a unusually calm,
the fire was brought under control
after a hard fight, and the rest of the
block saved.
Fire was discovered about three
o'clock near the stage door entrance
in the Liberty theatre, but upon the
arrival of the fire department the
theatre building was found to be en-
tirely Quilted by flames, and the I'm
ion billiard hall, which is just north
of the theatre, burning in several
places. The firemen endeavored to
confine the blaze to the theatre, but
the fire had gained such Roadway
that it early became evident that the
billiard hall was doomed.
The theatre building had been used
for dancing Saturday evening, the
dance lasting until two o'clock and one
explanation in connection with the fire
is that one of the dancers dropped a
lighted cigarette, which coming in
contact with some inflamable mater
ial had smoldered for some little time
before blazing up, and escaped notice
until the blaze had reached such head
way that made it impossible to save
the building.
H. C. Higgins, owner of the Liber-
ty theatre, estimates his loss at $780,
900, with $500 insurance, and j. B.
Johnson, proprietor of the billiard
hall, places his loss at $4,000, with
$11, 900 insurance. Both Mr.. Higgins
and MI. johnson are already figuring
on rebuilding more substantial build
ings, and are now seeking to estab-
fish temporary quarters for the time
being.

WHEAT CROP IN NEBRASKA
NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS

Lincoln, Neb., July 11.-Nebraska's
wheat crop will not meet expectations
on yield and quality, according to the
July crop report made public today by
the Nebraska board of agriculture.
Both winter and spring wheat are ad-
versely affected. The average condi-
ton of spring wheat, the report states,
is reduced to 80 per cent, which fore
casts 12,141,O 900 bushels.
Winter wheat a few days before har-
vest had the appearance of a record
breaking crop, but the latest returns
indicate that there will be Is per cent
less wheat than expected. The de-
crease is attributed to premature rip
ening, caused by a few days of high
temperature during the ripening per-
iod, weakened vitality due to rust.

Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite. and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a sec
ond meal is taken. Then if you eat
no more than you crave and take a
reasonable amount of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When the
loss of appetite is caused by consti-
patton as is often the case, that should
be corrected at once. A dose of Cham
berlain's Tablets will do it.

MONTANA COAL MINES
ARE FACING A CRISIS

Montana coal mines face the prob
ability of being unable to resume nor
NAL production because the mine fork
ers, principally men of foreign birth,
are becoming disguised with the lack
of employment during the summer and
are leaving, literally in crowds, for
their native lands. This information
is included in an announcement by the
Montana railroad commission, in which
coal are warned of the i'm
pending crisis and urged to order WIN
ter coal now. In doing this they are
assured they will prevent the depart
ure of the laborers by furnishing
them employment, and also aid in
averting a coal famine. Higher pri-
ces are mentioned as a probable result
of delay.
Another serious feature of the sit
uatlon is the lack Of equipment on the
part of railways. The commission
says:
1.-The commission learns on good au-
thority that the railroads of the north
west, especially the principal lines
that traverse this state, are confront
ed with a serious shortage of equip
ment. At this time only a small por-
ton of their own equipment is lat
home) on their respective lines, and
that the class of foreign cars in tenn
porary use is of the smaller tvpe
Capacity, and hat the total equip
ment available is less than SO per cent
Of the loading capacity they actually
had on their lines prior to federal
operation. The great shortage of
equipment is due to the fact that their
own cars are now actually in use on
southern and eastern lines, and in view
of the probable great crop movement,
this equipment may not be returned to
the northwestern lines in time to be
of any assistance during the balance
of the business year,
"We have just received reliable in
formation that already a serious coal
shortage is being experienced in New
York and other eastern states that de-
pend largely on the anthracite districts
for their supply. This will be felt in
Minnesota and the Dakotas which or
d~inarily receive large quantities of an
thracite via the lakeh and Duluth.
This will mean that those states will
call on other fields for their supply,
and our Montana mines will be drawn
upon, which may result in higher pri-
ces.
eve are also confronted with the
fact that all other coal producing ter
ritory Of the United States is facing
similar conditions, and that if every
coal mine should be in operation con
tinuously throughout the balance of
the year, they will be unable to pro-
duce enough coal to meet the require
ment of an ordinary mild winter.
"The commission desires that such
facts be placed before the people of
the state, so that they may understand
the present situation in regard to the
hazard of obtaining an adequate sup.
ply of fuel during the next ter
months"

HEAD OF TURK ARMY
IS FOUND GUILTY
Enver Pasha Must Pay Penalty for
Deeds Committed During War
Period.

Constantinople, July 12.-Enver
Pasha, Talaat Bey and Djemal Pasha,
leaders of the Turkish government
during the war, were condemned to
death today by a Turkish court mar
tial investigating the conduct of the
Turkish government during the war
period.
Enver and his two leading associates
IN the young Turk government fled
from Turkey several months ago and
their whereabouts is uncertain.
Djavid Bey, former minister of fl
nance, and Alusa Melissa KAHN, for
mer sheik-ul-islam, were sentenced to
fifteen years at hard labor.
The court martial acquitted Fifaat
Bey, former president of the senate,
and Hachim Bey, former minister Of
posts and telegraphs.
Enver, then only a boy and not a
pasha, struck the spark that not
many years later was to start the
fire that finally swept Europe into
the flames of war.
AS dictator of the Young Turks, En-
e entered on two courses. One was
expressed in the word Equality" But
it was to be an equality in which the
Christian races in Turkey were to
abandon their race and become good
Ottomans.
His second ambition was to restore
the ancient glories of Osmanis, before
whom all Europe bowed.
A parliamentary government in
Turkey had been formed and Enver
in his effort to advance Turkeys dom
ination invited representatives from
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Austria
soon after annexed both provinces.
This act aroused the flame of Pan
Slavism which later shook all Europe.
The first Balkan war in 1912 broke
out as a result Of Enver's campaign
for the suppression of n~ationalities.
The government at that time was
practically solely under Enver's di.
r%ection. He was now a pasha. The
sultan was a figurehead. Enver's
plots kept the Balkans in a perpetual
state of excitement that reflected ovel
all Europe.
With the aid of German generals
he directed Turkeys entrance into the
world war. He saw visions of a new
Turkish empire, including Egypt, ir
fact all Of North Africa, and sweep.
ing n%orthward over Asia to northern
China.
Enver plunged into the world wal
with enthusiasm. For a time it look.
ed as though his armies might be sue:
cessful. He captured General Towns
ends army at Kut-el-Amara and his
armies had succeeded in driving the
British from Gallipoli peninsula ant
his forts had driven back the British
fleet from the Dardanells. But hi:
efforts to coerce the Arabs and Egyp
tians were without avail.
Successes of the allies against thu
German armies prevented German,
and Austria from sending aid to tn
sorely pressed Turks. Enver was lief
to battle the enemy alone. Day afte:
day the allies battered his armies bacl
until his soldiers, in despair, surrend
cred.
And thus Enver's dream of SOM
day ruling the great Moslem worl.
came to an end.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
UPHELD BY DEPARTMENT

Washington, D. C.-That the war
department, in the face of an advan-
cling cost of living, persistently refus-
ed to place upon the market a great
surplus Of food products, was testi-
fled to by G. w. Hare, director Of
sales.
The known surplus was 100000
pounds of bacon, 58,O00,000 pounds Of
ham, $50, 100000 worth of canned
meats and $1O0, 900, 900 worth of can-
ned vegetables, all of it in storage
suffering steady deterioration and con-
sequent diminution in value.

months" said Hare, Ito pry these sup
plies loose. l could accomplish moth

finally there was declared a surplus.

sane man expected a standing army of
more than 100000 men, the govern

cision that this actually was a sur

that it was up to the chief of staff
to decide on the size Of the army and
that it would then be necessary to es-
