COUNTIES GET ss,OOO,OOO FUND

Announcement has been made by
George l.. Burton, chairman of the
State Highway Commission, of the APP
portionment to the various counties of
81, 000, 900 in funds from the receipts
of the Motor Vehicle Departmentfor
use in 1922 when the money will be-
come available. The amount each coun-
ty receives annually from this source is
for use in maintaining roads which are
under county jurisdiction and form no
part of the State highway system.
The apportionment was based on the
ratio each county bears to the whole
state as follows: First, as to county
area; second, as to population, and
third as to the county road mileage.
The first two factors were computed
from the 1920 Legislative Manual and
the mileage from the statement sub
mitted by the different counties in July
of last year. This is the first time that
allotments to counties have been made
by a fixed formula.
Allotment to each county is condi-
toned on the fling with the Highway
Commission of a satisfactory schedule
outlining the work to~be performed
with the money. This information
must be in the Commissions hands not
later than April 18th next year or the
allotment will be subject to cancella-
ton in the cases of derelict counties.
Following is the share each county
receives, together with the average
percentage upon which it was based:

the papers read and discussed, has
been largely instrumental in promot-
ing the proper methods Of l. anting,
cultivating, pruning, spraying, pick
ing, packing and marketing used sue
cessfully at the present time.
At the early meetings Of tn" So
ciety, when fruit growing in Mon
tana was in its infancy, the principal
topics of discussion were soils, meth.
DDS of planting and, more important
than all others, what varieties tc
plant.
Societies, like individuals. make
mistakes and the Montana HOrticul.
tural Society was no exception. The
different varieties of apples grown in
Montana were displayed and discus
sed and those most promising were
recommended. Daniel Bandmann
brought the Mcintosh before the no.
tice of the society with the result
that after its development had been
watched and discussed by the organi-
cation for a number of years it was
adopted and recommended as the one
commercial apple for Montana, con.
sequently today 80 per cent of the
apples grown in Montana are Mc1n'
tosh Red.
Those early day problems of the
society have long since been solved
and new ones, such as picking, pack
ing, marketing. ETC., along with the
proper methods of combating insec,
pests and diseases are now being dis
cussed and solved. When the Mon
tana horticultural law was enacted
the value of the societies influence
in shaping matters pertaining to hor
ticulture was recognized and the pro
vision was made for the state bOart

He made one or two fortunate

On present earnings alone the roy
alties controlled by this company
are said to be worth 100000, and
other wells drilling will increase this
value as they come in.
Mitchell's career is one of the ro-
mances of Cat Creek. Shy of money
but possessed of a million dollars

liking the color of his eye, took a

handsomely, and the other day. as a
token of his gratitude, he gave Mum

Mitchell is also interested in sink

SIGNS MINING BILL
AT ELEVENTH HOUR

Not till noon on the last day of
1920 did President Wilson sign a
bill which had been in his hands for
some time, extending the time from
January l, 1921 to July /. 1921, in
which owners of mining claims in the
United States may do their assess
ment work, amounting to 500 on
each claim, for the year 1920. Had
the bill not been signed it would have
been possible for claim jumpers to
seize any mining property to which
title had not been perfected and on
not been completed.
AS thousands of claim owners had
failed to do the work for 1920, be-
lieving that an extension would be
granted. the result of failure on the
part of the president to- sign the bill,
had he refused to attach his sigma
ture, would have been very far-reach-
ing, and particularly in Montana and
other states where there is much
mining. 1t was made clear in the
debates that this is the last extern
sion that will be granted by congress
and that no further relief may be
expected along this line.
The law signed by the president
also stipulates. that its provisions
shall In no way change or modify
the requirements of the existing law
as to work to be done or improve
ments made upon mining claims for
the year 1921" sr
This means that each claimant
before July must do assessment
work that should have been done
during 1890. and before December
81, 1921. must do another 800
worth of work to save his claim OF
$500 worth of work in all per claim
during the year 1921. -.

Cattle Decreases in State

Montana shipped to market in
1920 less than half the number of
cattle shipped in 1919, according to
figures compiled by E. A. Phillips,
secretary of the state livestock COM
mission, based upon reports received
from Montana inspectors at terminal
markets. In 1920 Montana shipped
1927 head of cattle, compared
with 499.949 in 1919. a decrease of
267,O22.
