directory remains to be obtained, sald
Mr. Morrison. Il am confident that
in the next few days we will be able
to get that if the Importance of this
work is realized.
II have reports from Missoula, Hell

the advertising is already obtained or
has reached point where it is certain.
SO far the only city to fail to be able
to publish a directory is Havre, and
that was due to recent financial
troubles. Livingston has already pub
lished its directory.
Published Next October
II have arranged for an especially
speedy and comprehensive publishing
plan for Great Falls. The canvass for
the directory material will not be begun
before August. At that time the city
will have the advantage of the increase
in population due to the increased op-
Grafton of the smelters, oil develop

rectory is to be completed and ready to
be sent to the subscribers by October.

DOUBT CLAIM
OF "C0NSUL"
OF BULGARIA
Officials Unable to Confirm
Halacheff's Claim on
Official Position.

The claim of T. e. Halacheff, who
was sentenced Friday morning by
Judge J. B. Leslie to 80 days in the
county jail and to pay fine of 500
as the penalty for bootlegging, that he
was the Bulgarian consul for Montana.
was disputed in information received
Friday evening from several sources.
Halacheff, a confectionery store pro-
prietor, told authorities while he was
being taken to Jail that he had been
representing his country in Montana
for several years.
Legation Handles Bulgarian Affairs
Consuls of other European countries
say they do not know Halacheff as
a Bulgarian consul and he is said to be
unable to produce credentials to sus-
tain his claim. 1t has been established
that he did not represent Bulgaria IN
the years 1918 and 1920 and it is said
by those familiar with the consular
service of other countries that Bulgaria
has not established state consular
offices since it ceased to be an enemy
country. The latest congressional rec
ord says that the consular affairs of
Bulgaria are in charge of the Bull
garian legation at Washington, d. G.
Halacheff, however, when told of the
information that assails his claim, still
insisted that he was the Bulgarian
consul and that the troubles of all his
countrymen in the state were solved
bv his official wisdom. He said that
because of the few Bulgarians in the
state, his office did not carry great
deal of responsibility or Importance.
The consul was playing cards at the
county jail when he was asked to tell
about his position. The other prison
ers seemed pleased to learn of the
company they were keeping.
Guilty of Selling
The confectioner was found guilty
of selling liquor by a jury in Judge
Lesie's court Thursday afternoon, the
jury leaving the punishment to be fixed
by the court. Halacheff took only six
minutes of the courts time to deny
that he had ever sold liquor to a
deputy sheriff and another witness who
was examined in behalf of the state
He was tried and acquitted in district
court last December on a charge of
selling liquor.

Business Coming Back.

been prevalent since the beginning OF

states and will spread quickly through

Low Interest Helps Trade
Low money rates as we'll as ths
need of homes has led to demand 70,

said Mr.. Rogers. "This is the new
trend of the lumber trade, the Jap
anese trade of few months ago hav-
ing slumped recently. | expect to see
building spread down the east coast and
gradually over the country. There is not
much demand as yet for lumber ON the
middlewest farms and will not be until
the harvest time.
.'In the middlewest cities, the de-
mand for homes is heavy. There is
some building, very largely in apart
ment houses. An apartment is mighty
hard to find in the cities.
when the crops come IN you will
see the lumber business come into its
own. / expect to see the lumber trade
improve much in the later summer and
fall and the big trade will come in the
spring of 1923. The retail yards have
closed out their stocks and have not
been buying. Their surplus is low, just
about to the low limit and any build

Mr.. Rogers said that the need for
building programs is distinct in all
parts of the United States and that
California was virtually the only area
where building has been prevalent dur

are the keynote to the situation and
that the good haryests promised in the
northwest made the lumber trade look
equally attractive
