Beaverhead County
Reduced to Sixth
Rating by Board

Special to The Tribune.
Dillon. Sept. 15.-The board of
county commissioners met in regular
session last week and declared the
county to be in the sixth class. This
declaration was made due to the fact
that in the past few years the total
assessed valuation Of the county has
been growing smaller and smaller and
finally dropped to the sixth class mark
BY the county falling back another
class all salaries of county officials Will
be decreased and the office of county
auditor will be eliminated. However,
the salaries Of those now holding
office will not be effected. nor will
they be effected during their term OF
office. Those who will be elected to
office next November and who will
take up their new duties in 1923 will

MORE HORRORS OF WAR.

THE bloody and revengeful Turk
l. has swept with his army across
Asia Minor leaving a pathway OF
devastation, fire and murder.
The flames in Smyrna have
wiped out, according to reports.
$4,000 900 pounds sterling in value.
Thousands of refugees are flying
from the fire and the sword.
While Smyrna burns, fourteen
Americans are missing.
The forces of peace in the world
are not strong enough. Probably
the horrible destruction or wal in
Asia Minor has not yet half been
told. 1t is asserted that the pur-
poses Of the Turk have within
them marching upon Constantine
pie. The allied governments look
on and wonder what is coming
next. Another horrible spectacle
is before the eyes of America as
we continue to the attitude
that we are not much interested.
Soviet Russia is a friend of the
Turk. What might be the force of
such a combination if it should get
started is only a matter of specu-
lation.
Smyrna, the city that is being
devastated, is important as we
glance back along the pages of his
tory. Situated at the head of the
Gulf of Smyrna, throsgh a long Sc
ries of years it was the sccsnd sea.

Enrolment Gains
in Belt Schools
During First Week

Special to The Tribune.
Belt, Sept. 15.-The enrolment Of
the Belt Valley High school shows an
increase of five during the past week,
bringing the total number up to l4o
for the beginning of the second week
Of school, and setting a new high record
for the institution. 1t is believed that
even this figure will be increased with
in the next couple of weeks, when
farm work is further along and more
Of the young people are able to leave
the farms for school.
The popularity of the normal train
ing course is attested by the fact that
it has been chosen by Al of the high
school students. The commercial course
has an enrolment of 80 and the agri-
cultural course of %. The remainder
of the students, "a, are taking the
general course, having the smallest
number enrolled of any of the courses.
The increased attendance is notice
able not only in the high school, but in
the grades as well, a number of new
students entering the various grades
during the week and bringing the num-
Der in some of the rooms up to very
nearly their capacity.
With school work settling down to
the regular routine. athletics have
commenced to claim the attention of
older students. Leo Spogen and Ralph
Oertli will be in charge this year and
during the past week the former has
rad a number Of boys out each evening
at Cashier park working with the pig

in this state in 1923. The only
practical way that has been sug-
gested is a Encouragement of au-
tomobile licenses and the turning
of all this money into a road con-
struction fund whereby money may
be secured to match up against
government funds ON the basis of
So per cent by the government and
AZ per cent by the state. 1t has
been suggested that this road fund
might be amplified by a small gas
oline tax.
If anyone can suggest a better
method of enabling Montana to go
ahead reasonably with its road de-
velopment, now is the time to pre-
sent the plans and specifications.
Public sentiment needs to be crys-
tallized upon this subject before
the legislature convenes. We can
not dodge the issue.
1t is probable that the officials
of this new road organization will
have conferences with the differ
emit boards of county commission
ers along the line in a cooperative
effort to see just how much can be
done next year. At any rate, a
fine start was made in the Great
Falls convention.

port of the Ottoman empire. 1t
was built up with five quarters as
to nationality-the Moslem quar-
ter with narrow, crooked streets;
the Jewish quarter, which was a
rather poor and overcrowded part;
the Armenian and Greek quarters,
we'll built and European in their
cleanliness, and finally, the Euro
pean quarter with its fine quay,
shops and hotels. Smyrna has had
! numerous schools maintained by
various nationalities. The produc-
ton for which the city has been
most famous in Smyrna rugs. 9th
er chief manufactures have been
silk, wooden and cotton goods, pot
terry and leather with some machin-
cry and iron and steel products.
The chief exports have been figs,
r%aisins. tobacco, rugs, silks. hides
and cereals.
In the old days, Smyrna COM
mandcd the route from Sardis to
the coast enabling it to develop a
rich commerce. The city had an
excellent harbor and from its ad-
mirable situation soon became one
of the fiourishing cities in Asia.
1t was treated with consideration
by the Roman government when 1t
! came within that dominion. Since
the early part of the fifteenth cen
fury the town has belonged to the
Turks until in 1921 it came under
the military occupation of the
Greeks. They have endeavored to
introduce new methods in agricul-
ture and modern machinery. Dur
ing the last year we read of a plan
for agricultural credit which had
been worked out by the Greek min
lister of agriculture.
Now comes another world
change so far as Asia Minor is
concerned with the Turk burning
and killing in that country. An
other chapter of misery. There
are lessons that Christian civiliza-
| ton yet must learn.

ment of stock from this section was
made this week. when seven cars
of beef cattle were loaded at the
Arlington stockyards, comprising
part of a pool of 80 cars going out

the local people to accompany the
shipment we're Frank Sheldon and
Arthur Hamment.
Much exceptionally good beef was
included in the shipment. though as
usual there was a scattering of poor
and aged stuff among some of the
punches. The pasture, which re
manned exceptionally good during the
summer had put the stoch III goo
condition, while later the grass had
dried out to such an extent that il
had hardened and finished to a good
degree, though possibly could they
have been held longer the cattle
would have become harder, though
putting on little additional weight.
Far from a satisfactory market il
expected, though the tendency for 6
couple Of weeks had been upward
until the first of this week, wher
it went off from Is to % cents
The shippers. however. are hoping thai
the market will again show an ad'
vance and that they may receive
fair return for cattle. based on the
market of the past couple of years
