ON MRS. BARKER.

/ looked curiously at the lighted
house before which we had drawn up
the house which held Claire Foster
and in which | instinctively felt

We're to avoid a scene.
IT was evidently a summer hotel OF
the ~remodelled upstate farmhouse
type, and upon its broad front veranda
were several women swathed in heavy
wraps, ostensibly enjoying the moon
light upon the distant mountains.
That some of them were genuinely

the furtive glances OF two OF the
women nearest the door that they had
been watching for my arrival n an
ticipating the pleasurable prospect OF a
possible exciting row.
Dicky stalked up the steps, looking
neither to the right nor the lett. tie

kept his hand beneath my elbow as l

Executive Committee Talks Plan at Butte FOR
Recommending Tax on Autos and Gas
oline as Revenue Measures

penditure of this tax is to restore the
roads which the automobiles use and
veal out.
Under these statutes. there will be
created a State Highway fund for the
construction of roads and d State
Highway maintenance fund Tor keeping
them in repair. It is proposed there
tore to raise the automobile license
tax to a certain extent and TO suggest
a two cent per gallon tax on gasoline
sold; From these two measures, it
is thought that perhaps $1,000 900
per year may be received. With this
money. it is estimated that the federal
funds in amount around $1,000, 900
which are already appropriated and
available for the next few years can
be matched up and the state roads
maintained.
The committee spent q great deal of
time IN an endeavor to find ways and
means whereby the counties may gain
rather than lose through the proposed
legislation. At the present time the
counties get 90 per cent of the auto
mobile license tax. Two principal
means of arriving at this end were
suggested: First, for the state to
assume the total cost of maintenance
OF the State Highway system, which
would include the present primary gov
eminent system with perhaps some ad-
ditional mileage, and would therefore
cover nearly all of the trunk lines
of Montana. This would take a big
expense off of the counties. Second.
to pay the interest upon the bonds
that have been issued by the counties,
so Far as the proceeds of such bonds
been applied to federal aid prof.
ects. 1t is possible. also, that the
state may be able to participate in
other ways upon county roads
outside of the state system.
Roads Out of Politics
The sentiment was strong in tbs
executive committee that the time has
when Montana ought to keep its
road program entirely out of politics
and that it should be made distinctly
business proposition. The commit
tee found the services of the road ex-
from Wisconsin and Oregon ex-
tremely valuable, because in those
many problems have been solved
satisfactorily which are now just o
ing up for solution in this state.
1t is probable that a third statute
will be suggested to the legislature
which will be made up of the Rules
Of the Road 20 that such regulations
may become uniform oven the state and
many rules established which will
prevent the driving of automobiles by
irresponsible persons and work strong
for the safety of the travelling pub
lie.
The executive committee which is
.andeavoring to suggest these statutes
IS composed as follows: Sid J. Coffee,
Missoula, president; r. T.. Wills, Butte,
secretary; Fl, II. Howard, Bozeman,
vice president; o. s. Warden, Great
vice president; NJ. V, Wilson,
vice president; Wilfred ;.
Johnson, I4ewistown, vice president; e.
7. Bowman, Anaconda, vice president:
Fl. Miles, Livingston, vice presi-
lent; r. D. Larabie, Deer Lodge, vice
president: George W Farr, Miles City,
'ice president; A. J. Davis. Butte, vice
president: c. H. Mcleod, Missoula,
ice president.

MIRACLE Gets
FOR
WINNETT WORK
Local Company Will Install
Sewer in East Fergus
Oil Town

Competing in a field of seven bid
ders, the Two Miracle Concrete
company has obtained a contract to
install a sewer line three-quarters of
a mile long at Winnett for 1000.
Material will be placed on the ground
this winter and work started early

Miracle, who has returned from Win
nett. During the past season his com
pany has constructed about $4,000
worth of sidewalks at Winnett.
There are q number Of large con-
tracts to be awarded in the west for
the coming year, Mr.. Miracle said.
Nearly all of them are in the larger.
towns, some running up to million dol
lar propositions.
Bids on the Winnett sewer job
ranged from $4,000 to $4,000, the
Two Miracle company being low by
$400. Other bidders were Birch &
Sons. Great Falls; Pioneer Concrete
company, Pozeman; Superior Bridge

0. s. Warden, of the GOOD ROADS
committee of the Commercial club, has
returned from attending the meeting
of the State Executive Road commit
tee which is endeayoring to arrange
new statutes under which Montana
may reasonably proceed with a state
highway program, in view of the con-
ditions that present themselves at
this time. He is able to report upon
the general conclusions that were
reached at this Butte conference.
There was a general meeting at
Butte on Monday which was attended
by the State Executive committee and
representatives including many county
commissioners, from all parts Of Mon
tana. The whole day and evening was
given ND to discussion so that the com
mittee might have before 1T just as
many opinions as possible upon the
question of what ought to be done IN
the way of new road laws by the com
ing session of the legislature. Then
all of Tuesday was spent by the state
committee, endeavoring to put into
shape the proposed enactments. Inc
committee was advised throughout
this session by T. A. cannon, execu-
tive secretary of the Wisconsin Good
Roads association, also by w. B. Den
mis-. chairman of the Oregon Road
LEGISLATION committee. Both of these
states have very complete laws enabl-
ing the building and maintenance of
road systems.
Auree on general Principles
General principles were agreed upon
and tentative proposals were approved.
There will probably be another meet
ing at Helena when the committee
hopes to present its final conclusions
Tor the criticism of the State Highway
commission and the state admnistra-
ton. It is hoped in this way to sug-
gest legislation which will be accept
able to all of the interests concerned
the state, the counties, and the
people who are. anxious to have the
.thoroughfares of this state properly
improved. The bills, except as to
general provisions, will probably
not be given 10 the public before
are presented to the legislature.
IL keeping with the method used
by other states that have proceeded
much further with this legislation than
has Montana, and in order to get
road work upon a permanent basis of
development, it is proposed to provide
Inc IuildS ipI tht DullttiIS anu u!uIl-
of a state road system from
two sources: First, from the sale of
automobile license tags based upon
the weight of the machine, plus per
laps one per cent of the retail selling
price. This schedule has not been
definitely agreed upon except as TO
and will be given further at
The committee reached the c~onclu-
sion that the proceeds of the automo-
bile license tags should be used for
he construction, improvement and
marking of roads and hat the automo-
bile owner, if the task of supplying
good roads is to be placed upon him,
this money to be expended for
his purpose only. The committee

of two cents per gallon on the

Land Owners Refuse
Figure Allowed for
Road by Commission

Property owners along the new Rice
vile Pennington road have served no
tice on County Attorney W. J.. Tighe
that they will not accept the valuation
placed upon their land by an appraise-
ment commission recently. The mem
bers of the commission were the late
III. Fl. Stanley, A. NJ. Hart and Frank
Mitchell. The road is 1O.4 miles long.
The ease will be tried in district
court before a jury, probably at the
next term.
This does not mean road work must
stop, according to Deputy County At
torney julius Wuerthner. The county
may put up the amount decided by the
appraisement commission and request
a court order allowing work to pro-
coed. Mr.. Wuerthner said. If the jury
decides the price is too low the differ
ence will be paid, or the reverse.

Civilian Entertains Runners Up
For Championship of
Montana

Great Falls high school football
team, runner up for the state champ
ionship. were entertained by the mem
bers of the Civilian club at their
luncheon meeting Thursday at Hotel
Rainbow.
The club serving as host for the
football team was in accordance with
the policy started last spring at the
time the club was organized, when the
club entertained the high school track
team when it had won the champion
ship of the state.
The value Of football as a sport and
as a factor in building character was
the theme of the talk by the Rev. Y.
Y. Lopez, himself a player in his col
lege days at Grinnell college, la,
Good Sportsmanship
Il have seen things on the field
when Great Falls has been playing
that are more significant than of
winning of games or the winning Of
championships" he said. There has
been craftsmanship, in tune with the
best ideals Of the game. Football
teaches many things which upbuild and
prepare one for later life. 1t teaches
you how to be a good loser and a
good winner"
He showed the development Of the
sport and its growing popularity with
the spectators, leading to the construc-
ton of the huge stadiums at many of
the schools of the United States. The
sport has, by reason Of its popularity,
he pointed out, been Il of the fin
anciaI sports Of not only the game
itself but also other sports Of the
college year.
Satisfaction in the clean game play
ed by Great Falls was expressed by
5. u. Iargent, superintendent of the
city schools. He spoke of reputation
for clean play that the Great Falls
teams have throughout the high schools
of the state. He quoted former Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the ideal combina-
ton, good scholastic standing. coupled
with sport.
Bruce Afillikin, principal of the high
school. spoke of the last game of the
season as showing the temper Of the
team in the spirit i'll which its mem
bers took defeat, the first of the sea
son.
The hard work of the members of
the team and their ability to follow
the directions of the coach were stress
ed by William Shirley, assistant coach.
