Lath Co. Dealing
for Neihart Timber

One hundred and sixty acres of for
est land in the Jefferson National for
est three miles south of Kings Hill.
above Neihart, may be sold to the
Lewistown Mill & Lath company, ac-
cording to +. j. Yoemans, assistant
supervisor Of the forest. This will
mean approximately 25,000 cords of
wood for which the government will
ask from 75 to 80 cents a cord.
This supply would keep the saw
mill company running for five years,
and il is understood that an official of
the company is already in the east
making contracts for the sale of the
finished product and financing the
job.
The timber in this district is chiefly
of lodge pole and of the age which it
is better to cut. The returns from the
sale will be turned over to the secre-
tary Of he treasury and then relayed
into allotments for schools. roads, etc.
The appraisement of the timber
was made last June by Mr.. Yoemans
and w. B. Wiley, jefferson national
forest supervisor, who spent some time
on the grounds The findings Of this
inspection have been forwarded to
the forestry office for this section
in Mssoula, and word should be re-
ceived any day.
Although it is a standing rule that
no timber should be cut for 80 days
after the decision has been made so as
to allow time for advertising the sale,
it is thought that this may be consid-
cred an emergency case because of the
season.
To take care Of this timber more
adequately, il is believed that the
Lewistown company will construct
mill somewhere near the location. 1t
now has mill erected near Neirart
where il has done some work before.
Probably 40 men will be employed
in the mill and the forest Motor
trucks viii be used to convey the logs
to the mill. II is understood that a
strip Of timber will be left along the
road so as not to destroy any of the
scenic views along the Y-G Bee line
route.

Judith Gets a 36
Pc. Tax Reduction

Judith Basin county will enjoy a SO
per cent reduction in taxes this fall,
according to the budgets fixed by the
board of county commissioners, and on
the day the budget was finally fixed
B. c. White, president of the Judith
Basin County Taxpayers association,
appeared before the board and highly
complimented them upon the showing
made.
The budgets showed that there will
be a reduction of $4,000 during the
fiscal year beginning July 1, which
together with the 25 per cent reduction
in the valuation, will permit a SO per
cent reduction in the total amount of
taxes to be raised for county purposes
this fall. Mr.. White pointed out that
this was wonderful showing for Mon
tana's youngest county, and that he
believed Judith Basin county would be
among the very lowest taxed counties
of the state.
A 36 per cent reduction, he stated
was nothing short of marvellous, in
view of the fact that times have been
hard and that % per cent of the taxes
were delinquent last year. Mr.. White
also expressed pleasure when informed
by the commissioners that there were
only two school districts in the county
that had outstanding registered war
rants, all the rest having balances on
hand.
During the discussion Mr.. White
pointed out that he had been speaking
during the winter in several counties
of eastern Montana and had taken par
ticular pains to investigate the finan-
cial condition of these counties, "a in
and, based on this iHvesti- !
CATION, he stated that Judith Basin
county had made a very excellent
showing.
He congratulated the commissioner
for the way they had handled the dis
tribution of grasshopper poison, stat
ing that the method of charging the 4
farmers one-haf the cost was certain
Iy a mark of economy and good busi-
ness and that, personally, he was OPP
posed to too much paternalism in gov
srnment.
He stated that the taxpayers were
being soaked by the disposition to
graft on the poor funds in some Of the
counties and in few of the cities, and
believed it was breeding and creating
swarm of mendicants for the tax
,syers to support. He complimented
he board on the way they had handled
he poor fund Of the county.

Would License All
City Businesses

A short meeting of the city council
was held Monday evening, when for
the first time since the middle Of July,
it was possible to get quorum ow-
ing to the absence of various alder
men on vacations and business.
Other than allowing the bills very lit
tie business was transacted, though
two new ordinances, which have been
under consideration for some time,
were discussed.
One was ordinance No. SO, the IL
cense ordinance which has been up
several times in the recent past.
This ordinance levies license on each
business in the city having definite
location and receiving police pro-
lection. 1t provides that the money
thus derived shall go into the police
fund and be expended for police pur-
poses. The council fixed few ten
tative amounts that shall be charged
various businesses, but these are sub
ject to change and in fact 1t is certain
that there win be number of changes
from the figures as they now stand.
The ordinance would license banks,
shows of all kinds. gas, electric,
telephone and telegraph companies,
professional men,, cigarette venders,
soft drink parlors, pool halls, retail
coal dealers, dray and truck lines, trav-
cling merchants. peddlers, hawkers,
either carrying pack or using wag-
on or truck, providing the wares are
other than those raised or manufae-
tured- by himself; livery and feed
stables, dairies. creamery, restaur-
ants and public eating places, bake
shops, ETC.; meat markets, barber
shops, steam launderies, warchoues,
hotel and rooming houses, garages
and automobile accessories, delivery
automobiles or trucks, care racks,
doll racks, shooting gallery, etc; un-
dertakers, ice cream plants. black
smith shops, lumber yards, and all
other places receiving police pro-
lection.
This ordinance will probably come
up for passage at least on its first
reading at the next regular meeting
of the council

Ask Improved Road
to Silver Dixie Mine.

Plans for the erection of a 250-ton
silver concentration, a school building,
homes for miners and other construc-
ton, making substantial start to-
ward the founding of new town are
well under way with the American
Zinc company, which now CONTROLS
the Silver Dixie mine on Carpenter
creek, three miles southeast of Nei-
hart, according to information given
the board of county commissioners
by Chas. F. McGibbon of Neihart-
McGibbon filed with the board re-
quest for road improvements to facil-
itate hauling between the main Nei-
hart highway and the site of the new
concentration.
McGibbon is the operator of saw
mill and has contracted TO get lumber
for the company. improvements on
the Carpenter creek road are badly
needed in launching the company's
work, he said. Much heavy machin-
cry and large amount Of supplies
and equipment will be transported
over the road in the mar future.
The commissioners have been given
to understand that operations on
large scale will be launched at the
Carpenter creek camp as soon as
needed equipment is in place, and Sun
day Commissioners Kommers and
Boyd viewed the road and Monday the
board appropriated $1,000 toward the
road upon agreement Of Supt. J. c
Coch to expend like amount.
Very little accurate information as
to the intentions Of the American Zine
is obtainable, but all their
since entering the Neihart
field point to the fact that they will
eventually operate on a large scale.
For some time they carried on explor-
alton work with a churn drill, which
evidently proved satisfactory, and
they have fulfilled all the details of
the financial arrangements for the
property. A TOO foot tram is being
built to carry the ore from the mines
10 a chute where it will be put down
70 the concentration The tram will
work by electricity, the Montana Pow
sr now being engaged in putting in
power lines for the work Of the COM
pany.

Pi|geram's Hat In
the Political Ring

Declaring that he is opposed to the
creation of any new state, boards;
that he believes that many of those
now existing at the present time can
be consolidated or discontinued, and
that should he be privileged to serve
he win oppose all legislation which will
in any way add to the tax burdens of
the state and its subdivisions, w. p.
(Billy) Pilgeram of Armington last
Thursday SHE'D his hat into the
political ring, when he filed his petit
tion with Clerk and Recorder Moran
entering the democratic primaries as
a candidate for the legislature. Mr.
Pilgeram is the eleventh candidate
to seek one of the six legislative seats
TO which Cascade county is entitled.
Mr.. Pilgeram was born in Great
Falls 32 years ago, and with the ex-
ception of the period of the World
war, when he served with the marine
corps, his whole life has been spent
in Cascade county. He owns a ranch
at Arlington and has been actively
engaged in farming since he was a
boy. While he does not believe in
class legislation, he does believe that
the rural districts of the county are
entitled TO seat in the legislature,
and he is seeking the nomination on
the request of friends who hold to the
same belief. So far MIR. Pilgeram is
the only democratic sean8idata fEepaI
outside the city of Great Falls. He
will poll good vote in this section
If the county in the primaries, and
should he get by there will stand a
good chance of being elected.

Will Gravel New
RiCevilIe Highway

Harry o. Beale, who in 1890 was in
charge of the graveling of the Belt
Great Falls road and the location of
the route of the proposed route of the
Arlington -Riceville road, and now in
charge of construction on the new Sun
River-Simms road, was in the city
Monday furthering his campaign for
the republican nomination for coun-
ty surveyor. When asked as TO the
status of the Arlington -Riceville road
Mr. Beale stated that construction
work on it would undoubtedly begin
this year and that the work was such
that it could be continued most of the
winter.
He said it was the plan of the state
highway commission, at the request
of the board of county commissioners,
to delay the calling of bids until the
cost of the Sun River-Simms road
could actually be determined and that
then what money remained from the
road bond issue would be divided be-
tween the Arlington Riceville and the
Cascade-Ulm projects and contracts
for both these and the Belt bridge let
He stated further that he believed
there would be sufficient money left to
complete both projects, the money for
the bridge being already appropriated
and set aside, and not figuring in any
of the three road projects. The Rice
vile road will be graveled, at least
part of the way, he stated, though this
is contrary to the understanding here.
He explained, however, that while the
board of commissioners had proposed
that the road be not graveled, the
state highway commission would not
approve the plan, insisting that it be
graveled at least so far as present
funds would permit. which Mr.. Beale
believes will be the greater part of the
distance and the balance later
With the threshing season at hand
and winter not far away, local people
are becoming anxious to see work on
the bridge started. For several years
it has not been considered safe for the
heavy tractor engines to cross the
present structure and with the coming
of winter and the settlement of the
coal strike the bridge will again be
called upon to bear the heavy truck
traffic from the east side mines,
which even year ago was all that
the old bridge would carry.

Hopper Poisoning
Saves So an Acre

There were All ,525 pounds Of bran
and 1861 pounds of arsenic distri-
buted over $4,000 acres of Cascade
county lands in the 1922 campaign
against grasshoppers, according TO r.
L. MacSpadden, county agent. Al
though this shows considerable more
interest in grasshopper determination
this year than last, or any other year,
there are still hundreds of thousands
cf acres on which the method was not
employed, MacSpadden said.
According to MacSpadden the poison
this year represents saving of
about SIS an acre on land where It was
used. The material for the mixture
was distributed from Great Fails,
Simms, Belt and Portage.
Many farmers are using traps as
means of exterminating grasshoppers
and the machines are recommended by
the extension service Of the Montana
State college. The traps are from 10
to Ia feet wide and are operated with
a horse. MacSpadden has in his Of
flee in the federal building a model
Of the trap, which may be made with
scrap materials.
The trap consists of wooden box
with screened sides and doors the lat
ter at the top In the front is metal
shield. When the machine is dragged
over field, he grasshoppers are STIR
red up, fly against the metal plate, I
and, because they cannot find foot
hold, fall into a trough. In making
their way 10 the hight; which comes
through the screened sides, they are
When the box has been filled with
1oppers, the operator drops 2 little I
into the inclosure and
he insects are killed within a short
.ime. The hoppers then may be sack
ID, dried and used for chicken feed IN
he winter. There is reported to be
for hoppers with chicken
yrowers. One Of the traps has been
rnown to catch 800 pounds OF hoppers

Here
To Avoid Typhoid

DR.. f. T. Foard, of the United
States health service, administered
free vaccination to the people OF Arm
| ington and Belt Tuesday afternoon IN
order To eliminate possibility OF q
typhoid epidemic along the course OF
Belt creek, which is said by the health
official to be contaminated with ty-
phoid germs. Subsequent innocuia-
tions will be given in the weeks follow
ing on Mondays at Arlington at
o'clock and at Belt at o'clock. Twen-
ty-seven persons were vaccinated for
typhoid at each Belt and Arlington
and two children for diphtheria here.
DR.. Foard expects that number Of
new persons will appear both here and
at Arlington next week, and viii
make sufficient visits to the two points
so that all may receive the required
three applications Of the vaccine. He
will also give diphtheria and smallpox
to any who apply. Ihe
state department of health furnishes
the vaccine for all these vaccinations,
which are free to all applicants.
Those who desire real protection
against any of these three diseases
viii be wise TO take the innoculations,
DR.. Foard says.
Recently signs warning persons
against the use of the water from the
,reek were posted by the department
,ut new case Of typhoid at Arm
ngton that has developed within the
asst few days has made the health
,fficials desirous of giving residents
Il the Belt creek district real protec-
ion against contamination.
Examinations of six wells have
,een made by the department and
ests IN one case at Armfngton were
,ositive, indicating the presence on
yphus germs. 1t was significant, IN
