| led the party to the glacier afore-
| mentioned, and it was afterwards
fully described in Professor Pumped
Ily's report of the trip. To Lieuten-
ants Woodruff and Van Orsdale also
belongs the credit of being the first
persons to describe in an intelligent
manner the Glacier park country, as
well as the first recommendation
that this territory be created as a
park. IL a letter published in the
River Press of Fort Benton, Sep
TENDER 5, 1888, Lieutenant Van Ors-
dale said:
81 sincerely hope the publicity
now being given to that portion of
Montana will result in drawing at
tention to the scenery, which sur
passes anything in Montana or ad-
jacent territory. The coun-
try included in such park is not fit
for agricultural or grazing purposes,
but by placing it under the protec-
tion of the government the forests
will be protected and consequently
some of the sources of water of three
great river systems, viz: the Mis-
souri,, Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Writing in the Fort Benton River
Press, August %, 1888, Sergeant o.
C. Morrison, one of the enlisted men
who accompanied the expedition, has
this to say:
Various statements have been
made in the territorial press regard
ing the discovery of a glacier be-
tween, Coal Bank creek and the
headwaters of Flathead river by
Professor Pumpelly's party of engi-
neers. This glacier was found and
fully described by Lieutenants Wood

try, 1873, going from Fort Shaw to
Fort Collins, w. t., and as l copied

COLLECTOR EXPLAINS
STOCK DIVIDEND TAX

James A. Walsh, collector of inter
nal revenue for the district of Mon
tana, makes the following statement,
with reference to income tax due on
stock dividends:
Where corporation, being author
lied so to do by the laws of the state
in which it is Incorporated, transfers
a portion of its surplus to capital ac-
count, issues new stock representing
the amount of the surplus so trans
ferred and distributes the stock SO is
ued to its stockholders such stock is
not income to the stockholders and
the stockholders incur no liability for
income tax by reason of its receipt.
Where corporation, being there
unto lawfully authorized, increases
its capital stock and simultaneously
declares cash dividend equal in
amount to the increase in it's capital
stock, and gives to its stockholders a
real option either to keep the money
for their own or to reinvest it in the
new shares, such dividend is a cash
dividend and is income to the stock
holders whether they reinvest it in
the new shares or not.
Where corporation which is not
permitted under the laws of the state
in which it is incorporated to issue
stock dividend, increases its capital
stock and at the same time declares
a cash dividend under an agreement
with the stockholders to reinvest the,
money SO received in the new issue OF
capital stock, such dividend is sub
ject to tax as income to the stock
holders.
Where a going corporation having
a surplus accumulated in part prior
to March /, 1913, and being there
unto lawfully authorized, transfers
to its capital account a portion of its
issues new stock represents
ing the amount so transferred to the
capital account and then declares a
dividend payable in part in cash and
n part in shares of the new issue of
stock, that portion of the dividend
paid in cash will be deemed to have
been paid out of the surplus accumu-
ated since March /, 1913, and is sub
ect to tax, but the portion of the
dividend paid in stock will not be
ubject to tax as income.
A dividend paid in stock of an
'ther corporation held as a part of
he assets of the corporation paving
he dividend, is income to the stock
older at the time the same is made
for distribution to the full
mount of the then market value of
UGH stock. This ruling is based up
n the decision of the supreme court
f the United States in Peabody vs..
'isner CAT U. S. BAD which was
OF modified by the case of Eisner
S. Macomber. If such stock be sub
sold by the stockholders
ne difference between it's market
alue at date of receipt and the price
,r which It is sold is additional in
'me or loss to him as the case may
