Trip to Oil Fields by Hill and kenney
Starts CONSTRUCTION Talk

Decision of Louis w. Hill, chairman of
the board of directors of the Great North
ern railroad, and Vice President w. P.
Kenney to visit Lewistown before return
ing to st. Paul, is viewed with significance
by those who are familiar with the trans
portation situation in eastern Fergus
county and in the territory between there
and the western terminus of the New Rock
ford cutoff. Mr. Hill and Mr.. Kenney were
in Great Falls early in the week, going
from here to Butte with the intention OF
returning east over the Northern Pacific,
but Friday it was learned that their itin-
Neracy had changed to include Lewistown
and that they probably would visit Win
net and the Mosby oil field before con
tinuipg to st. Paul.
The Great Northern has a roadbed par
TALLY completed from Lewistown to Grass
Range, but construction has not been re-
sumed since operations ceased two years
ago because of war conditions. Discovery
of oil at Winnett and Mosby has greatly
increased the demand for improved trans
portation facilities in those sections and it
is considered possible that the visit of Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Kenney has a great bearing
on the Great Northern's plans for COM
pleting the line between Lewistown and
Richey.
The line would penetrate the heart of
the oil country and serve all of the i'm
mense territory in eastern Fergus and all
of Garfield and McCone counties. 1t has
long been definitely announced that the
road would eventually complete its line
through this region, but conditions fol
lowing the war have caused officials to say
that there was little likelihood of work be-
ing resumed this year. 1t is evident, how
ever, that the oil strike has attracted the
attention of the Great Northern officials
seriously and thezvisit Of Mn. Hill and Mr..
Kenney to Lewistown was commented upon
in Great Falls Friday as suggesting that
important developments may be expected.

Lurer has covered McCone county the
past week conducting meetings at
Riverside, Vida, Weldon, Circle and
Watkins and is now working over in
Garfield county.

a good sized crowd was out to hear
the speaker, and the other meetings
in the county were also largely at-
tended.
The meeting at Circle was held on
Monday afternoon when Mr.. Duncan
spoke to a large and attentive crowd.
We should judge several hundred were
in attendance and considerable inter

Mr.. Duncan is man that is getting
pretty we'll long in years but when he
gets up to address his audience seems
to have lots of pep. He is humor-
Gus and witty and keeps his audience
interested from start to finish.
Mr. Duncan's speech dealt with the
league program, and made some inter
esting comparisons of conditions az
they exist in North Dakota and in Mon
tana.

PETITIONS FILED FOR THREE
INITIATIVE MEASURES

Helena, Montana, June g. Peti
tions to initiate three new bills, one
| a license tax of percent on net pro.
ceeds of mnes, one for new method
of collecting taxes and the third the
$40, 100000 irrigation bond bill, have
been filed with the secretary off the
state.
w B. Sands of Chinook, has written
an argument in favor t thepassage
|of the bills which is part of the pc
titions for the tax collection measures.
The mine license tax measure pro-
yidesfor a tax of percent on all
mining of metals in Montana and a
penalty of so percent for failure to
make true report.
Among the important phases of the
new ak collection system, proposed in
the new measure, is the plan to cut
ly, reducing from IL to percent for
payments made shortly after the taxes
becom delinquent and graduating the
amount up to IL percent for those six
months overdue.
Delinquent System
These taxes will then become delin-
Guent on th last business day of tn fol-
lowing May. All taxs unpaid after
November 80 will carry penalty of
5 percnt if paid during the months of
December and January following.
During February and March, the PEN
atty will be 10 per cent and during
April and May will draw IL percent
interest.
On June 18th the county treasurer
will deliver the list of delinquent taxes
to the county clerk, who will hav them
published and also give notice of the
portions to be sold.
According to he argument accom-
panying the bill, the proposed measure

months grace, with graduated inter-
est charge for being tardy and is de-

WANTS
 ORIGIN OF NAMES
 OF ARIZONA POINTS

Col. James H. McClintock, state his- torian, is turning his attention to the nomenclature of Arizona, and in this research work has called upon the club women of the state to assist him upon arriving at the derivation and | meaning of the names of Arizona l towns, mountains and rivers. The investigation now undertaken is at the suggestion of Mrs. w. A. Guild, president of the state fedora ton of women's clubs, and is in line with the special study of Arizona his- tory which many clubs have taken up this year. With 1000 or more club women of the state cooperating in this extensive research, the state his torian believes he will be able to se- cure wealth of accurate information which will be of inestimable value in enriching the store of historical data on Arizona, which he is now collecting.
 The idea is more fully explained in letter which McClintock has sent to the president of all clubs. It reads as follows:
 January 30, 1920. My Dear Madam President:
 This, office has started upon com pilation of the nomenclature of Ari- zona, with hope that the results can be made available to the general pub lie.
 The place names of the state are of more than usual significance, yet too often their origin and meanings are unknown to other than "old- timers" or students of local history.
 In this emergency am turning to the women's clubs of the state in this supported by expression of the most cordial interest from your state presi- dent, Mrs. Guild.
 May 1 ask that you and your club, or the special section to which such historical matters are referred, to send me lists, or card files, of names of local places, districts, mountains, highways, streams, tribes, etc, with added information covering the mean ing (especially if Indian or Spanish), |, the circumstances and significance of the naming and it's actual or approx innate date and by whom, and any other pertinent data that might be considered historically valuable or in teresting.
 If there could be immediate &C., tion on this it would please me very much, as l hope to make early pub lication of the compiled work.
 am informed that the women's clubs of Arizona already have taken up, very generally, the study of Ari- zona's wonderfully interesting history. There is much reason for congratula- Tko f,,llnef cooperation of this office is extended in forwarding the good work.
 Very sincerely,
 JAS. M. M'CLINTOCK,
 State Historian.

STATE HIGHWAY THROUGH FLAGSTAFF WILL BE
 PAVED ABOUT APRIL 1

Construction work on the paving of the state highway through the towns of Flagstaff and Winslow will be started as soon as the season opens, about April 1, according to an an- nouncement made by State Engineer Thomas Maddock. Plans and speci- fications for the Flagstaff contract were forwarded to that city for con- sideration by the town board of trus- tees preparatory to the issuance of a call for bids. The plans for the Wins low paving will be ready in about a week, according to Engineer Fred Holmquist.
 The work at Flagstaff will cover more than one mile and the estimated cost is placed at approximately $65,- 900. A portion of this sum will be met with federal aid. Federal aid will also be obtained for the Winslow pro- ject. It is proposed to construct reinforced concrete bridge over the River de Flag, near Flagstaff, as part of the construction work.

M'CULLOUGH'S LIBEL SUIT AGAINST CITIZEN
 PUT OFF TO MARCH &

Judge Stanford continued the $1O,- 900 libel suit brought by P. H. Nc Cullough against the Tucson Citizen, until March 8, on application of the plaintiff after hearing in the su- perior court at Phoenix. The case had previously been set for trial. The de- fendant objected to the continuance on the ground that 25 witnesses were being summoned for the defense and the defendant had prepared and was ready for trial. Thomas w. Healon, appearing for the plaintiff, pleads engagements in the courts at Tucson and Tombstone.
 On application of Healon, the order entered week ago, requiring the plaintiff to give security for the costs was vacated and the matter set down for argument. Healon stated that he had an understanding with the court that no proceedings would be taken in the case during his absence and the order was entered while he was away. The defendant is asking that the cost bond be fixed at 5000 on account of the large number of witnesses. Judge Richard Sloan, of Phoenix, and Kin gan and Campbell, of Tucson, appear ed for the defendant.
 Mccullough is suing The Citizen for $10,000 for stating in an editorial that he was member of the I. w. w. The Citizen is standing on the truth of the charge.

PROTESTS LIMIT OF BIDS TO ONE STYLE
 OF PAVING MATERIAL

That the state improvement act as amended in 1917 limits the call for bids to one type of paving, and that there should be change made in the law to permit competition between concrete and bitulithic are the points called to the attention of the gov ernor in letter from Burt H. Clin- gan, representing the cement associ- ation.
 Through some mishap, says Clin- gan, the 1917 legislature in amend ing the act of 1912, dropped those words put in by the 1915 legislature, permitting bids on alternate types. Since this time no paving has been laid in this state under this act ex- cept patented Warrenite- -Bitulithic.
 "The last few years has seen a tremendous demand for concrete paw ing" continues the letter. More of this type is being laid than all others combined"
 The results of competition was shown in the Tempe state highway job, which being done by the state was not under the improvement act. The cost of two inches of Bitulithic on a five-inch concrete base in Tempe is $2.39 per yard and $2.80 for two inch es of Bitulithic on four-inch base in Mesa, bid under the improvement act of IA per cent reduction for 16 per cent thicker pavement. Clingan. asks that this matter be included in the call for the extra session.
