HARLEM, THEATRE
MAN, PASSES AWAY

Harlem, Feb. 20.-Joseph Parent Ci-
cote, aged &C, we'll known Harlem
resident and manager of the Maud
Henderson Theatrical company which
has toured Montana, western North
Dakota and southern Canada the past
10 years, died Sunday afternoon from
the effects of cancer of which he had
suffered the past three years. The
funeral was held from the Presbyter-
ian church. The Odd Fellows had
charge of the funeral services.
Mr.. Cicotte first came to Montana
about 10 years ago when he toured
this country with his theatrical troupe.
When they landed in Harlem this
country was all government domain
and open to filing. Every member
of the troupe filed or a homestead
six miles northwest of Harlem and
since that time they made this place
their home. They toured the road dur
ing the winter months and the sum-
mer months they spent here cultivat-
ing their farms.
Mr.. Cicotte had the reputation for
having the best theatrical organiza-
ton on the road in Montana, and his
company was always welcome in every
city which he played and when wealth
er conditions were not adverse was
always greeted with full houses.
Mr.. Cicotte took his company out
last fall, but his health failed him
and he had to give up his work with
the result that the company was dis

NORTH DAKOTA TAX
HITS REALTY OWNER
ONE TERRIFIC JOLT
(Great Falls Tribune)


E. M. Woods, Of 1109 Second aveaue
north has just received his tax bin
from his former home in North d.
kota-and he is sore. He took one
look at the tax bill and then he wish
ed he had come from North Dakota be-
fore ne ever owned property there.
He says he is in doubt whether it
would be wise to pay the tax or pay
the county to take the property, for
he says the bill is so outrageously
high that he believes he would be les
ing money to pay the tax.
He shows his former tax receipt-
a year old-to prove the difference.
The bill this year calls for $284.A,
while a year ago he paid, on exactly
the same property, only $96.39. That,
as Mr.. Woods figures it, is an increase
OF S188.15, or more than 100 per cent.
He has been studying the problem
seriously, he says, and Mr.. Woods
now declares that if the tax bill he
just has from North Dakota may be
accepted as evidence he is convinced
the Interpretation of IN. p" in con-
nection with North Dakota politics
is wrong. 'sThere is no doubt about
it in my mind" said Mr.. Woods when

CARGO IS ASSURED
 FOR MAIDEN TRIP

It is already assured that the new self propeller, City of Birmingham, will not come up the Warrior river empty on her maiden trip, to be made in the near fu- ture from New Orleans.
 Among other items of her maiden cargo already listed for the northbound trip is carload of sugar from Louisiana for tue Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany
 Agents for the vessel ar Mobile have in terested the merchants of that city and they will have a lot of stuff brought from New Orleans for Mobile delivery. They are also arranging to furnish cargo for Birmingham from Mobile.
 Speaking of the City of Birmingham and the Warrior traffic at large, MT. De- Bardeleben said:
 All of the sugar, the coffee, the rice and the salt that is imported into the Birmingham district comes from New Or leans Every pound of it could come ad- vantageous1y by the Warrior and get the benefit of the 20 per cent freight differen- tial
 "A wholesalers freight charges on these articles amount to lot during the year. If he uses the Warrior he will save $20o in each $1,000, $20 in each $l00 In caring for the Warrior he will be most assuredly caring for himself"

 MOOSE HOME HERE
Delegation Representing Civic Bodies Goes to Chicago Monday to Extend City's
 Claims

Birmingham will go after the home for the aged to be established in the south by the Loyal Order of Moose at the cost of approximately s1,o0o, 900. The home will be erected during 1921.
 Delegations from the local lodge of the Moose, the Birmingham organiza- ton, and c. L. Harold, secretary inan- lager of the Birmingham Civic Associa- tion, will leave Saturday for Chicago to present Birminghams claims TO the institution.
 There will be a delegation of twelve of the members of the local chaoter who will go to Chicago Saturday to present the claims of Birmingham. They will be headed by Roderick Bed dow and L. A. Cain, and they take rep resentatives of other local organiza- tions with them at the invitation of M. B. Jeske, southern supervisor of the order.
 Members of the local chapter were in conference with the members of the board of directors of the Civic Assocta- tion yesterday at noon, when possible sites and the advantages Birming nam can offer the order in establishing their home in Birmingham were dis cussed
 The local delegation have three sites in mind All Of them include a large acreage, and are situated conveniently to the heart of the city.
 The home. wherever it is established, will be the same size and equal in ad- vantage to the famous children's h ome at Mooseheart. H., which for it's beauty and efficiency has attracted nation wide attention
 If the home is built in Birming lam. it will be a small city within itself, with approximately 1,500 to 1000 peo- pie living in it. The city will be model in every way, and will be an ac- quisition which Birmingham could i'll afford to do else than welcome, should the city be so fortunate as to be chosen as the location, say business men here.
 The final decision as to the location will be made by the supreme council next January, and it is before the coun- ell that the delegation will appear to lay Birmingham's claims next Monday.
 About twenty-five representatives of the city are expected to go to Chicago to meet the supreme council
 Birmingham is in competition With New Orleans, Atlanta, Jacksonville and other southern cities in bidding to have the home for the aged placed here.

WILL INVESTIGATE
 BEFORE INVITING
 CONVENTIONS HERE

The convention committee of the Chamber of Commerce has decided on new policy i'm the matter of conventions.
 It has been practically deter mined that before any convention is invited to Birmingham, the com mittee will exercise discrimination and see if the hotel accommodate tiOns and the like are such that the convention may be well ham died. Several matters will enter into consideration. One will be tO what extent n convention, by pre- empting hotel accommOda tions, will throw out the regular trade and cause travelling men and others to delay their coming to the city. It Is quite possible that n convention might work more inconvenience and entail more loss than it's enter taiDment would be worth to the city OF its people.
 In other words. the proposition of the committee is to exercise judgment and discrimination and to make investigation before con- ventions are invited. The general idea is not to have conventions that, everything else considered. might not be worth while.

 Tuesday morning residents of the sec ton came before the commission and asked that the-Fesidential zone be estab- lished. This was the direct result of a petition to build bottling works, filed recently.
