year the tax rate is l8 mills. and the

the increase in the tax rate with al
arm and considerable surprise.

interesting facts. The gross debts

plus S3298. over estimation state ap-
portionment; and if we disregard the
other over-estimates, the difference
herein stated would require a tax

Torrance County should have had
a levy of Is mills last year. Had
such a levy been established. there
would have been on hand the same
balance of $37,585 for use of the
schools during the months of Sep
tember, October, November and Dec
ember. Instead there is balance OF ap-
proximately $4,000. This balance will
have to be used, together with the
produce of the l8 mill levy contem-
plated this year, in order to conduct
the schools for a period of 9 months
The total gross requirements for last
year was sol 900, and this year $l9l.-

few years 1t had its ups and downs.
but the past few years developing
into one OF the most prosperous
farming in the state.
The season Just closed has been
the banner one for the Miami Valley.
The farms have produced abundantly
of corn. wheat alfalfa, oats. rye and
forage crops. Barns and graneries
are filled. huge stacks of feed can
be seen on most every farm, all of
which spells prosperity and content
ment to those people.
During the past few years, the
farmers have been raising hogs.
growing the feed for them. and have
made a success of this branch of
the farming industry.
The past two years these farmers
have gone extensively into the dairy
business, and now hundreds of gal
Ions of cream leaves there every
week for the nearby markets. In
1920 a hundred head or more of
dairy cows were shipped
into the valley and distributed to
the farmers.
Many orchards have been set out.
some OF them at the bearing age.
Most every farm has an orchard,

CHINAMAN'S TREASURE
 IS BELIEVED CACHED
 IN GOLD COIN GULCH

ANACONDA, March 2.-Removal of the bones of Lem Chung. Chinese miner from the Anaconda cemetery for shipment to China has revived the story of treasure he is supposed to have buried in Gold Coin gulch, near here, many years ago Lem Chung died July IS, 1908.
 For several years before his death Lem Chung was employed in the Gold Coin mine, at that ime one of the greatest gold producers in Montana. He is alleged to have stolen several thousand dollars worth of gold and to have cached it in the vicinity of his cabin. He is even declared to have confessed to close friends before his death that he had taken and hidden the ore against the time when he would return to China. Fire destroyed the cabins of Gold Coin gulch, how ever, and efforts of seekers to find the buried gold have been fruitless.
 Many old-time mining men in Anaconda believe Lem Chung hid the gold, which according to rumor, is valued all the way from $2,OO0 to fabulous sums. Every so often an attempt is- made to locate it but so far no trace has been found.

NAVAJOS RETURNING TO ANCIENT INDUSTRY
 OF BLANKET-MAKlNG

.PEOENIX, Ariz., March Nav aio Indians are the first of the tribes living in this vicinity to feel the effects of low prices. As a re- suit of present prices, the Navajos arc turning from the modern pur- suits they have adopted in recent years to. their. more ancient indus tfyLthe making of. the far-famei Navajo Indian blankets, according to information brought to Phoenix. Of. late years the Navajos of northern Arizona have. engaged ill wool growing with great success. sven the squaw was called from her blanket weavipg to more profit abie duties in connection with wool growing. But the price of wool has dropped and has forced the Indians back to blanket making3
 So the squaws once more take their places by the doors of the "hogans' and work out the wool de- signs that brought fame to their tribe. The Navajo sqnaw is past master in the art of working out blanket designs She often keeps a design in her mind for several weeks before starting work on it. Some times when asked to copy some other design, the squaw studies the model for hours, then departing for home without the model. Later she will return with an exact copy.
 Other tribes have not yet been forced back to their old pursuits. A tribe of Maricopa Indians, living eight miles south of Phoenix, famed as makers of pottery, have taken to cotton growing. Their income from the crops and from the Government hss brought So much prosperity 'that in the past year they- made only twenty per cent as much pottery as they did five years ago.
