BOARD IS FOR
SHORTER ROAD
TO BIG FALLS
County Will Share Cost of
Construction With Power
Company.

A new road along the Missouri river
between Rainbow falls and the Big
Falls dam has been approved as a
county road by the board of county
commissioners and will be constructed
this fall, following a survey to be made
by County Surveyor r. 6. Day.
The expense Of the road will be
divided equally between the county and
the Montana Power company, estimat-
ed roughly, previous to the survey, to
be about $1,000. The new road will be
approximately five miles long, cutting
about seven miles from the present
road from Rainbow falls to the Big
falls.
The proposed road, which has been
up for discussion a number of times
before, will provide an unusual scenic
view Of the river which winds through
a canyon of varied colored rock walls
between the two falls. The board s
decision to appropriate funds for the
road is the elimination of an idea
originated several years ago.

STATE COAL Mines TO OPEN
WHEN AGREEMENT IS SIGNED
Operators Plan Resumption Immediately After
Meeting at Billings Friday; Stocks
Replenished Before Winter.

many miners had left the coal camps.
the next l. hours will see them hurry
ing back and that there will he Jobs
for as many as return. Coal miners,
the operators said, even though dur
ing the strike they have taken up
other work. are never satisfied with
labor outside the mines and will be
ready to return to their former jobs.
A few of them had taken their families
on jaunts to former homes in Europe.
but some of these have returned in
anticipation of a fall settlement of the
strike and others will come quickly on
the news of plentiful work.
1t is not anticipated by coal ope-
rators that the railway strike will
prevent the maximum output of the
mines, although some delays in obtain
ing cars is expected. There will be
little difficulty in getting the coal to
the consumer. The first orders to be
filled are expected to be those from
the retailers and the winter coal sup
ply for homes will be placed at once.
Price May Advance
Regarding the price the consumer
will pay, the operators and dealers
alike were not so confident. The pre-
valent opinion was that the price will
be about the same as last year, with
the possibility that it will be higher,
due to the fact that wages are to be
the same. hat there will be a ire
mendous demand, and that the expense
of the strike months must be met.
On this point, some of the operators
showed that the expense of maintain
ing the mines has run into several
thousand dollars a month for pumping
and repair of c~aveins and the like.
Something of the seriousness which
the coal situation had taken in the
city is shown by the fact that some Of
the apartment house of the
city were already making arrange
ments to turn the gas under their fur
mace boilers, the gas company man
aging to keep its fuel supply by the
use Of fuel oil and coke.

IT1buneS daily circulation now
exceeds that of its closest contender
in Cheyenne by approximately 1000
paid subscribers daily.
By average daily circulation II a
meant that h total net paid distribu-
ton OF tho paper for a year Is divided
by h number OF publications. in that
period. thus giving tho for
each day. The total average cfstribu-
ton for tho IL months ending March
81 was e.1s1, according to the audi
tors figures. although the present
daily distribution Is in excess Of $3.50
copies per day. There Is some varia-
ton in the total distribution due to
f~luctuation of street sales, some days
the Trfbune's circulation having
jumped as high as $500 to 1000 and
never any lower than $3.50 in many
months.
In the audit Of the Tribune's clrcu.

a subscriber was over six months in
arrears, nor vas credit given for
papers sold to dealers and not paid
for. Until all papers solo to dealers
are actually paid for. the bureau al

A striking feature OF the Trbune's

present numbers without a premium
of any kind ever having been given
to a subscriber. No contest has ever
