considerably over 10000 words. But.
OF course. the entire play is almost

5000 of them in one act, which lasts

in his present concert tour of this
country, is announced to appear
here in recital at the New Masonic
Auditorium, Thursday evening,
March 80. at $3.50 o'clock, under the
local management of T. Arthur
Smith, Inc.
1t is announced that he will use
what is considered the finest cello
in existence. 1t is the master work
of Nicolas Lupot, who made il at
the command of King Louis Philippe
in 1922, who gave il to a noted eel
list of that day. In the hands of
Mr.. Dambois, the instrument is
made to give forth such music that
in many European places where he
has played the past year the people
were SO loath to leave that 1t was
necessary to turn out the lights TO
make them depart. He purchased
the marvellous cello during his stay
in Europe In 1921.

MERCHANTS FAVOR
BUYING PUDSN NOW
To AID FARMERS
Failure to Dispose of Potato
Crop Means Heavy Loss,
One Man Says.
SpeciaI to The Tribune.

@PSNpi
Anaconda. Nov. Anaconda mer-
chants have entered into the state wide
campaign to help Montana farmers in
their efforts to dispose of their surplus
potato crop. The condition in the Deer
Lodge valley is particularly bad, ac-
cording to a survey recently made
Farmers from Gregson to Deer Lodge
have been obliged to leave their pota-
toes in the ground because the cost of
digging and sacking has been greater
thar the price offered. Unless a ma
jority Of these farmers can dispose of
the crop at cost they will suffer q
heavy loss.
Several Anaconda merchants have
already put their shoulder to the wheel
and have purchased a considerable
quantity of potatoes which they are
~disposing of at cost. One store is pay
ing IS cents per hundred for potatoes
and offering them in one or more sack
at the same price. This means that the
cost of handling the potatoes IS borne
by the store. George Remington, one OF
the leaders in the movement, has re-
ceived a report of conditions in the
state, and has addressed himself to the
task OF helping farmers IN the Deer
Lodge and surrounding valleys dispose
of their crop for at least the planting
and seeding cost.
The farmers of Montana who last
spring planted the largest acreage Of
potatoes in our history. are in trouble
right now" said Remington. "Un-
fortunately, we can not wholly remove
their difficulties but we can help and
there should be no one who holds back
when the way is shown.
Potatoes in this state are selling
for the lowest price in many years. 1t
is perhaps 4 small thing to do, but we
can do it cheerfully if we will; that is,
buy your winter supply of potatoes
now and spread the word so that the
neighbors will do the same. The people
of the United States saved the South
when the cotton market was glutted,
and the people of this section can help
the farmers of this and surrounding
valleys by taking care Of the local
surplus. We can not put the price up
to where it ought to be, but every sack
of potatoes bought now is just that
much lifted from the load that is de-
pressing the farmers"

2 YEARS OIL
STATE INCOME
IS $l2l,387
Official Says S172,S00 May
Be Expected Annually
from Now On.

Helena. Nov. Thy The Associated
Press.)-The treasury of the state of
Montana received an income of $121,3S7
from oil produced within its borders in
the two-year period which ended June
30 of this year.
This sum, represented by checks for
S43.1 6S and $7S,219 received by State
Treasurer j. n. Walker, was the states
three-eighths share of the royalty col
lscted by the federal government from
all oil production from Montana lands
on which Uncle Sam owns the oil rights.
The production which paid the state
this S121,3S7 was entirely In the Cat
Greek field, as the Elk Basin field, the
only other one in Montana producing
in marketable quantities during the two
years. has no production from govern
ment lease.
1t is figured that at the present rate
of production in the Cat Greek field,
with Il price of s. Il barrel for oil,
Montana may expect to receive q yearly
sum of $172,S00 as its portion of the
government royalty, according TO Carl
c. Adams, field assistant to the state
board of equalization.
GUsoi HWSHL d6lS vi
The federal government now receives
its royalty portion in actual crude oil
and sells it TO the United States ship
ping board which, by an arrangement
with the Midwest Refining company,
delivers 90 barrels of Cat Creek ol at
the field and receives so barrels of
crude oil on the Pacific, according to
Adams. This arrangement. which will
expire at the end of this year, provides
for payment to Uncle Sam by the ship
ping board on the basis of Cat Creek
field prices.
Because independent refineries now
operating in Montana have, according
to Adams, consistently paid from $1.75
to 1925 a barrel for oil, Governor
Joseph NJ. Dixon recently proposed to
Secretary of the Interior A. B. Fall
that Montana hereafter receive its
share of the federal royalty oil in crude
oil direct from the field, instead of
cash through the sale to the shipping
board and its transfer agreement with
the Midwest Refining company.
1t is on the basis of such an arrange
ment being put into effect, and the
state selling it's share of crude oil direct
to independent refineries within the
state. that Adams bases his calculation
that Montana may look forward to the
