MerkIe Mine Sets
High Weeks Mark

Last weeks production of 4,5OO tons
of coal set a new tonnage record for
the G. w. Merkle Coal company mine
here, and indications yesterday were
that this would be exceeded this
week. This means an average pro
duction of $50 tons daily for the week,
the high mark being reached last
Thursday. when 825 tons went over
the tipple. This coal is going to build
up the surplus being stored by the
Great Northern Railway company in
anticipation of a strike of the coal
miners in April, and while the mining
company has set $500 tons as the
amount that could be loaded in a six
day week, the railroad has given them
to understand that an even larger
tonnage would be accepted if pro-
duced, and so every effort is being
made to get out as much coal as pos
sible,. The new tipple machinery is
running smoothly and is aiding con
siderably in keeping up the maximum
production.
The first of this week 140 miners
were on the pay roll, bringing tne
number of men employed at the mine
up to $50. This is the largest force of
miners ever employed by the COM
pany. Additional miners are Le-
ing put on frequently and the force
win soon exceed this number mater
tally. A day and night shift is being
worked. During the first two weeks |
Of February the payroll has amounted
to about $1,000 per day, and for the 1
first two weeks Of the month will total
$4,000. The second two weeks of the
month, it is expected, will show an
even greater payroll.
The smaller mines of the city have
also been enjoying "a steady run for
some time past, the cold snap of the
past week bringing in orders from the
outside, while the local demand has
also been heavy.

Leaguers Assail Officials, Charges Disproved

Two unsubstantiated charges Of a
rather sensational nature against
county officials and the suggestion
that a grand jury session should be
called, besides few jolts handed the
Great Falls city council for failure to
adopt its suggestions, marked last
Thursday evenings meeting of the
Cascade County Taxpayers associa-
ton. Another meeting for tonight
was called upon motion and arrange
ments made for the appointment of a
delegate to the meeting held in Bill
ings yesterday for the organization of
state taxpayers league.
The first bomb was exploded by
Joseph Kirschwing, firm believer in
the old saying that this world owes
everybody living" and that his par
ticular living is due from this partic-
ular section Of the world, and who,
jpdging from the past, is not very
particular as to what kind of We
hicle he rides to the feed lot in.
Kirschwing declared that the Cascade
county sheriffs office had once been
used in forcing the payment of
gambling debt and that he could prove
il. 1t is said that Kirschwing has
desire to fill that particular office
himself after next Noyember's cleo
tion, but Sheriff Bob Gordon's reply
to the charge, at least in so far as
Gordon is concerned, would seem to
dampen any campaign powder there
may have intended to be in it. Cor
don said:
"The statement made by Kirsch-
wing may be true, but he might have
taken the trouble to state that none
Of my deputies were involved. When
| went into office in 1921, there was
an old complaint against the man on
record in justice court and when Il
was instructed to make the arrest by |
the county attorney had no option in
he matter.
''The warrant was issued by the |
shields justice court after l had as
sumed office. The sherIffs office has
1othing whatever to do with the is
,uance Of warrant for arrest That
S function of the county attorneys

.riy authorized. The governor grant

vas brought back from Spokane on

nd nothing to do with the issuance Of
be warrant or what happened prior to

The second charge was made by Fl

he meeting. who declared that he bad

purchaser of 100000 worth of road
bonds, a commission of $4,000 for
marketing the bonds. Other speakers
said they had received the same infor-
nation and one declared that the
check covering the amount Of the al
legged commission had been seen
among the county records. 1t was ar
gued that there was need of grand
jury session to probe this alleged dis
crepancy and other matters. 1t was
also argued that the county attorneys

Court Orders American Bank
TO Return Wheat TO CTarY

A two-thirds interest in 500 bushels
of wheat which A. l. Crary turned
over to the American Bank & Trust
company Of Great Falls for sale last
fall, was ordered returned to him Sat-
urday by Judge j. b Leslie in an
order addressed to A. W, Springhorn,
receiver of the bank. Crary, in an af-
fidavit, said the grain had been grown
on land belonging TO the Belt Valley
Livestock company, which he farmed
under a contract whereby he was to
receive two-thirds Of the crop and the
livestock company the remaining one
third. He said he delivered the wheat
and storage tickets to the bank under
agreement that the wheat be sold,
which he said was not carried out.

tion, If investigation warranted il,
against the commissioners, demanding
that the amount Of the alleged COM
mission and 25 per cent penalty be
refunded Immediately.
That there is no truth to this charge
is the assertion of Ben c. Johnston,
chairman Of the board Of county COM
missioners, and he declares that the
facts in the case could have been cas-
lily learned by an investigation Of the
county records. In refuting the charge
Mr.. Johnston said:

Belt High Drops Game
TO Cascade basketeers

Belt Valley High basketball team
added another game to the list Of
those lost last Friday evening, when
Cascade defeated the locals on their
home floor by a score of % to 8.
While the Belt boys have not been
playing good basketball consistently
during the season, this was probably
the poorest exhibition put up on their
home floor, and it is possible will be
the last of the season to be played
here. though one more game, with the
Stanford High, is scheduled for March
10. The first half Of the score stood
l1-4 in favor Of the west end boys.

International ASPECTS.
At the am time, the land enforce
ment forces in Florida were augment
ed by special agents from Washing
ton and neighboring states, and it was
announced that every effort would be
made to stem the tide of illegal liquor
flowing over the southern beaches.
Many intricate questions of inter-
national law nay arise from the use
of airplanes and submarine. chaserz
by the prohibition forces, officials de-
clared, because of the. rights of ma
tionals involved in the boarding Of
ships at sea. However, it is under
stood. Commissioner Haynes has gone
thoroughly into the various legal
phases of the problem before putting
his combined forces into action.
1t was not known here last night just
what circumstances had surrounded
the, seizure Of the schooner Annabelle
which was said to be under British
registry. Seizure of a. foreign vessel
outside the three mile limit might re-
suit in international complications, If
the foreign government was disposed
to make representations to the state
department, it was said. On the
other hand, several vessels of ap-
parent foreign register, seized with
cargoes of liquor in the past few
months, have been found to be
American owned.

MOVE TO BLOCK
SALES TAX IN
THE COMMITTEE
Bonus Finance Question Re
ferred Back To Tax Sub
committee

Washington, Feb. 2o.-The question
of financing the soldiers bonus was
referred back today to the special tax
subcommittee by the majority men,
bers Of the house ways and means
committee and it was announced that
the subcommittee would attack the
problem again late tomorrowa
The trend Of thought in cloak ROOMS
and corridors was that some sort OF
a manufacturers OF wholesalers tax
plan would be drafted in accordance
with. President Harding's suggestion
that the financing be. done by a sales
AK. Whether approval Of such a tax
by the entire committee, Republicans
and Democrats, could be obtained, ap-
peared to be a moot question.
In an effort to block the sales tax
within the committee, % Republican
opponents of this kind of a levy met
and framed petitions which were free
circulated and signed before the house
for the day. Representa-
tive Dickinson of Iowa, who called the
meeting, said it was the hope to OBJ
tain sufficient signatures to convince
the majority committee members that
it would be impossible to put a sales
AK provision through the house.

Old MAN FOUND
DEAD MONDAY.
George Bruno, IS Years Old
Died Suddenly From
Heart Trouble.

Geo. Bruno, IS years old, who has
been living alone ina shack on Pills
bury avenue, was found dead on Mon
day afternoon nea the Northern Pa
cific railway tracks between MOTH
Fourth street and the round house.
He was last seen about fifteen min
utes before that, in the Bydal Mere
antile store where he had made "a
purchase of groceries. He had placed
the groceries in a sack and started for
home. According Ito Coroner H. E.
Nelson of Crookston, who was called.
the man had died from infirmities of
ole. age and heart trouble. He was un-
doubtedly on his way home at the
time he was stricken, and had the
groceries in his possession at the time
of his death.
AS far as is known he has no rela-
tives, and for the last eight years has
been a city charge, as he has been too
infirm to work. Previous to that time
he worked for the city for many
years. Very little was known of him
due to the fact that he spoke very
little English. He was German By
birth but since the world war had re-
fused to in that tongue, and
hence very little was known Of his
affairs. He took great pride in the
fact that he chewed George Washing
ton tobacco, and could not be induced
to accept any other brand. This was
his mode of expressing his patriotism
Tor his adopted country.
The funeral was held this after
noon at the Pierce Undertaking par
lors in Grand Forks.
