900 and the committee will endeavor |
to bring the 1921 expense account |
down to the revenue figures. In |
this connection he states that the ex-
penses Of the judiciary and of the
portion Of pay Of county attorneys
which the state bears was increased
last year $198,OOO over the preceding
year due largely to the increase in
number Ct counties. Consolidation of
departments is also being looked into
by the committee.
At the same time the senate has
passed a bill introduced by Haley
providing for the creation of state
purchasing department with an agent
in charge to draw a salary of $5,-
900 per year. While this is an added
expense it is in line with a recon-
mendation Of the governor and it IS
hoped by the creation of such de-
partment that saving to the state
Of many thousands Of dollars may be
affected in a years time.
Several other bills for the elimina-
tion Of positions and offices through
consolidation with ether departments
have already been introduced and are
being put to the test in the legisla-
tive hopper.
SO far none of the measures re-
lating to the enforcement Of the pro-
hibition laws have gotten very far

MARGARET NJ. BOLINGER
DIES IN WASHINGTON

Miss Margaret VI. Bolinger, the
seventeen year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry A. Bolinger of this
city, who has been i'll since the first
of the year with endocardities, and
was taken by her mother and a nurse
to Dashongal, Washington last Sat
urday, in hopes that the lower alti-
tude might benefit her, died Monady
afternoon. She apparently stood the
trip to Washington very we'll and her
pulse being slower and stronger as
she got into the lower altitude, it
was hoped that she would regain her
health and strength, but she suddenly
collapsed Monday afternoon.
Margaret was born, May 6, 1903 in
Colorado, and when she was only a
few months old the family moved to
Bozeman from Butte and they have
since made their home here, Margaret
growing to womanhood and making
many friends being loved by her
teachers and school mates and esteem
ed by all who knew her. She was a
senior in Gallatin county high school
and had won place on the high
school debating team.
The body arrived early this morn
ing, accompanied by the mother and
the nurse Miss Bradley, and funeral
services will be held this afternoon
at the Christian church by the Rev.
A. l.. Chapman. Interment will be in
the Bozeman cemetery.

SPORT FANS ENJOY
TWO FAST GAMES
Bobcats Tie for HOnOrs in two Games
With the University of Montana
Team. Wins First Game 19 ea IS

The Montana State college basket
ball team won a game and was de-
feated a game in the two conflicts
with the quintete from the University
of Montana The Bobcats had the
big end of the score of 10 to 18 the
first night, and the second night were
defeated 20 to 5. Both games were
fast and the first one especially, was
much cleaner than a game usually is
between these two teams. The visit
ors were easily the better of the two
teams, being heavier more experien ed
at the game. The locals were badly
crippled from previous games and
were not able to play up to their
usual form. Considering these factors
it makes the first game seem much
more Of victory and the defeat in
the second easy to explain.
Hollister, although hurt from the
game with the School Of Mines and in
no condition to play, was the stellar
performer of both conflicts. His pas
sing game was good and his defense
was the most impregnable proposition
seen on the floor this year. McCarren
did most of the scoring, but an in
jured knee and elbow slowed up his
usual fast performance. Whitney, al
! center, outjumped his opponent On
every toss-up. Richards, BObcat
guard, is showing Improvement ir
every game and played good consis-
tent ball throughout. Garvin and
Robertson alternated in the other for
ward position.
Larkin, forward, and Baird, guard
were the outstanding men on the Mis-
soula team. Adams and Levin made
all of the field baskets in the Satur-
day game. Larllin shot all OF the
free throws during both games ard
only missed one shot in each game.
The visitors eXcelled in passing, short
shots and a steadier defense. The
pre-game dope was all in their fovor
They decisively defeated Whitman
college, winners of the conference
championship last year, in two comes,

Helena, Feb. Although the Seven
teenth legislature is now well into
its fifth week and the session is now
half gone not one of the big reve-
nue. measures has emerged from COM
mittee and very few Of the promised
economy measures have made their
appearance.
Most Of the revenue bills, as pre-
pared at the behalf of Governor Dix
On, are still in the hands of the house
committee on recenue and taxation
with no indications of ust when they
can be expected on the floor The
revenue bills of the governor are be-
ng looked at with alarm by many
of the legislators who think their
figures have been placed too high and
that they viii prove burdensome TO
] the taxpayers or the interests which
they are expected to apply and as a
! result oneoor two dual measures are
already in preparation at the hands
I Of republican members which viii soon
! be introduced for consideration along
side those OF the administration.
The governors tax bills were de-
signed to place charge Of one and
a half percent upon the net proceeds
of metal mines, an increase of one
half percent over the existing license
tax, tax Of 10 cents per ton on
the production of coal mines, a tax
, Of one cent per barrel upon the out
put Of cement and gypsum plaster
mills, q tax equivalent to three per
cent Of the production Of oil wells

half cent per gallon on distillate, anC
a motor vehicle license tax which
= would greatly increase the present
rate. In addition to this a bill has
been introduced, as coming from th'
governor, placing an increase tax up
on inheritances.
What attitude the house committe
/ on revenue and taxation VII take up
on these measures has not been in
dicated but it is believed that the com
: mittee will recommend a reduction
, from the figures Of the governor i
numerous instances. Already Repre-
l sentative Dodds, speaker pro TEN, ha
given notice Of an opposition bill
which would fix the motor vehicl

George Jarvis, the 19-year-old bur
glar was sertczced Monday to a term
of not less than four nor more than
eight years in the state penitentiary
at Deer Lodge by Judge Ben B. Law
of the district court.
Judge Law hesitated about passing
sentence on the lad until he could get
additional information and he put the
boy through a series of questions that
had him in an uneasy frame of mind
before it was over.
The youthful appearance, the al
most childish face and the innocent
manners of the lad turned cut to be a
veritable camouflage to his real char
acter when additional facts were de-
veloped.
The defendant stated that he was
19 years old and was born in New
York city. He has a father and moth
er and a 14-year-old sister living in
Peterborough, New Hampshire. His
father is a painter.
He said he left home seven years
ago at the age of 12 years and since
then has travelled all over the United
States.
The boy said that most of the time
he had been travelling in the west in
the states of Montana, Wyoming.

This is the third time, he declared,
he had beel in trouble. Last Febru-
airy, nearly year ago, he was ar

FIRE DESTROYS
PROPERTY IN PONY
Crewes Block Raced to Ground and
Several Houses Completely De-
stroyed by Flames Last Week

In a fire which destroyed the
Crewes block and several other small
er structures, the little town of Pony
barely escaped being wiped out last
week. The fire had received a good
start and the volunteer fire depart
ment had a great deal of difficulty in
stopping the spread Of the flames to
the business section Of the town.
Clarence Farrell, & well known
ranches and formerly cashier Of the
bank at Pony, was very badly burned
about the fact and army and for a
time twas feared ne would lcse the
sight of one Of his eyes. Latest ad-
vices last night from Pony stated,
however, that his face was not burn
ed as badly IS supposed ct first and
that he will not lose his eyesight.
His sister, Mrs. Fred Smith, was
also burned about the arms but is
not seriously injured.
The loss is estimated at $4,000
The Old Charles Morris residence
which was owned by Mrs. Sam Men
denhall, and was occupied by the
Smiths, was burned to the ground
A number of other houses, most Of
/ them unoccupied, were also burned. A
building used as . garage by Fred
Smith was also destroyed.
The fire was started by an ex-
( plcsion Of gasoline. Mrs. Smith and
her little son had been i'll and Mrs.
Smiths brother, Charles Farrell, went
over to their home to start fire
about $3.50 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Whether be got hold OF the gasoline
can by mistake is not certain. AS he
cured little cf the liquid into the
stove there was a binding roar and
IN an instant he was. enveloed by
flames. With his clothes aflame he
rushed into the adjoining room where
his sister was lying in bed. She had
been Ill with pleurisy for the past ten
days and was just recovering.
! With rare presence Of mind she
jumped from the bed, seized COM
forter and threw it around her broth
er. She succeeded in smothering the
flames that enveloped him but not
until she herself was painfully burn
ed about the arms.
In an instant the kitchen had be-
come a roaring furnace and without
attempting to save anw of their be-
longings, Mrs. Smith hurried Farrell
cut OF the house. Her young son.
who was in an adjoining room in bed
recovering from an attack of influenza
jumped out of the bed room window in
order to escape the flames.
Neighbors hurried to the assistance
Of Mrs. Smith and Mr.. Farrell. and
they were taken to the home of Mrs.
M. l.. Connors, where their injuries
were attended to They are still at
the Connors home.
4 In the meantime the flames had
secured a good start. Volunteers rush
ed into the house and carried out
as much of the furnishings as they
could before the flames stopped their
work. The old buildings adjoining
the Crewes block were soon blazing
fierceiy and the volunteer fire de-
partment devoted its attention to
stopping the spread of the fire to the
business section of the town.
The Isbell Mercantile company's
store caught fire several times but
the watchers stopped the fire there
Immediately.
All of the contents of the drug
store situated next door to the Mer-
camille company were moved to q
