"This ALLEGATION to various states
in 1886 may have been forgotten by
the people of today, including our
~present-day congressman, but as an
example of the division, it may be
stated that New York received S4,-
100000; Pennsylvania, $4,000, 900;
Ohio, $4,000, 900, and Virginia, ST.
100000, and the remainder of the
participating 26 states obtained va
rious sums quoted on down to $780,
600.
Let us suppose the government
called in this $28, 100000. With in
terest even at S per cent for all these
years the sum would be greater than
all the money ever spent by the gov
eminent on reclamation projects. So
it seems to me that the congressman
Directing to appropriations for the
reclamation of arid lands or SWAMP
lands, should take into account the
fact that their states away back in
1886 were favored by the depositing
of $4,000, 900 in state treasures,
mostly all of which had accumulated
through the sale of public lands"
Mr.. Booth said that Secretary Fall
and Commissioner of the General
Land Office William Spry have speed
ed up the work of the issue of patents
on lands which were not contested
and the work should be cleaned up by
Jan. 1. 1t has been a big job, for
Secretary Fall when he took office
found $4,000 cases pending on lands
for which final proof had been made
but no patents issued.
Solicitor Booth was accompanied
his trip west by Mrs. Booth. Mr..
Booth was appointed solicitor in the
department of justice by President
Harding and assigned to the depart
ment of the interior. 1t is one of the
biggest legal jobs in the capital.

Bertha M. Sinclair, known in the lit

of Chip of the Flying 'U'" and other
western novels, were recently married
in southern California. They are
spending the winter months at Ell Pi-

miles from Las Vegas, in southwest

Word of the marriage leaked out
with the announcement a few days
ago of a rich silver strike on the Ell

ago by "B. M. Bower" while search

Cowan was formally a familiar fig

He was also a sheriff of Chouteau

That a portion of the money
saved in the country by disarma-
ment will be devoted to retaining
arid lands of the west and swamp
lands of the south, is the hope of
Secretary of the Interior A. Ii. Fall,
who is a firm advocate of reclama-
ton, according to Senator Edwin 5.
Booth, solicitor for the department,
who was in Helena en- route to
Washington from Butte, to which
point he escorted Marshal Foeh,
following the ceremonies of the
marshal being made a chief of n
Crow tribe at the Indian agency.
Mr.. Booth believes hat at least
25 per cent of the money will be
used for reclamation, as Secretary
Fall and other western men in public
life at Washington favor it.
The secretary has been recently
making an investigation of the field
service of the reclamation depart
ment and it is believed he will be
able to reduce the expense of opera
ion. The overhead, which has SEEM
ed high to the critics of reclamation,
las been unavoidable in the past be-
;ause it was based on the belief that
congress would appropriate money

been slow to do this. In fact, CON

drought have opposed appropriations

''They protest that their constit-

taxes for retaining arid lands and
that the government should not ap-

when, as a matter of fact, the gov
eminent has in effect only loaned
money on reclamation projects, to be
paid back by the settlers later said
Solicitor Booth. "They forget, too,
that their own states in 1886, by con-

In 1885 Mr.. Leonard gave up his
railway connection and moved to An
aconda where he purchased the Ana
conda Review, which had been estab-
lished a few months before by John
S. Mills. This paper had been print
ed in Butte, but MI. Leonard bought
a Washington hand press in Helena
and proceeded to get out his paper at
home with hand power. With his
brother, Frank M. Leonard, he was
engaged in running off his first edi-

death of General Grant. In a few
minutes they had torn down their

Mr.. Leonard did not remain long
in the newspaper field. The lure of
the railroad business was too strong

travelling freight and passenger agent
for the Missouri Pacific with head
quarters in Butte. Later he served
in a similar capacity for the same
road for II years in Salt Lake.
1t is but a fitting recognition of his
services in the early days of railroad

from Washington, by Max Goodsill.
secretary of the Helena commercial
club.
Collins reviewed the negotiations
had by his associates and himself,
representing Helena, with federal Of
ficials in regard to the enlargement
of the public health service hospital
at Fort Harrison and the establish
ment of a federal vocational training
school for disabled veterans which
resulted in assurance that these two
projects will be realized.
Collins states that there is some
hopes of getting the Helena sub-of-
flee of the United States Veterans
bureau enlarged to the status of a
regional office, but that Helena will
be in a much better position to ask
for this after the enlargement of the
hospital and the establishment of the
training school here.

cent home that had been discussed
as the federal government has no
projects of this character under con-
sideration and no funds provided for
such projects. In regard to the es-
Enlistment of a tuberculosis hospi-
tai at Helena by virtue of the excel

Ware, Students Who Ride Beams

President Craven of the Montana
School of Mines has received formal
notification from railroads entering
Butte that h~enceforth students who
steal rides to places where athletic
contests are being held will be treat
ed as ordinary "hoboes."
The complaint of the railroads re-
cites that large delegations from
Butte took surreptitious transporta-
ton to Spokane and Seattle, Wash,
Moscow, Idaho, and Bozeman and
Missoula, during the past year and
that one delegation was forcibly de-
trained at Bonner, Montana, recently.

MISSOULA COUNTY LEADS
THE STATE IN BACHELORS

Missoula county is the garden spot
of Montana for m-ate-seeking females,
according to County Assessor Cuth-
bert Peat.
Missoula's returns in paid-up bach
elor taxes are higher than any other
county in the state, he declared after
checking up his receipts. Approx
mately $50 bachelors have paid their
immunity assessments, Peat an
nounced. These, he said, are the less
shy ones. He estimated that at least
1900 other eligibles were in hiding
within the county's borders, and al
though they may be inaccessible to
process-servers, might still be in
weighed into the open by the proper
approach of persons in petticoats. His
deputies are all of the masculine sex,
however.
While pleased at the record made
by Missoula county, the assessor said
he would continue efforts to round up
the untrammeled ones. About 1000
men in the county, he estimated, are
eligible to pay a marriage license fee
but 500, he believes, are exempt from
provisions of the bachelor tax because
they now are supporting one or more
dependents.
Strangely enough, listing and tax
ing of the greatest number of bach
elors in a single county in the state
has failed to be reflected in the mar
rage license receipts. Either the
females are less predatory than in
the usual season, or the males are
more wary this year. The fact re-
mains that November's total of mar
riage permits has fallen far below the
usual marriage season records.

resident of Butte. He is a brother of
Charles r. Leonard, M of Montana's
