This ALLEGATION to various states
in 1886 may have been forgotten By
the people Of today, including oul
present-day congressman, but as ar
example of the division, it may be
stated that New York received s..
OO0,000; Pennsylvania, $2,SO0,0OO;
Ohio, $2,000,000, and Virginia, ST..
100000, and the remainder of the
participating rs states obtained va.
rious sums quoted on down to $780,.
900.
Let us suppose the government
called in this $2S.000,000. With in.
terest even at s per cent tor all these
years the sum would be greater thar
all the money ever spent by the gov
eminent on reclamation projects. So
it seems to me that the congressman
objecting to appropriations for the
reclamation of arid lands or swamp
lands, should take into account the
fact that their states away back in
1886 were favored by the depositing
of $2S,00O,0OO in state treasures,
mostly all of which had accumulated
through the sale Of public lands"
Mr.. Booth said that Secretary Fall
and Commissioner of the General
Land Office William Spry have speed
ed up the work Of the issue Of patents
on lands which were not contested
and the work should be cleaned up by
Jan. /. It has been q big job, for
Secretary Fall when he took office
found $4,000 cases pending on lands
for which final proof had been made
but no patents issued.
Solicitor Booth was accompanied
on his trip west by Mrs. Booth. Mr..
Booth was appointed solicitor in the
department of justice by President
Harding and assigned to the depart
ment Of the interior. It is one Of the
biggest legal jobs in the capital.

When Jay Gould broke into the
directorate of the Union Pacific rail-
road in the late '7Os and ordered that
the Utah & Northern line be forth
with pushed into the northern terri
tories, L. o. Leonard, an engineer Of
note, was placed in charge Of the con-
struction work. Mr.. Leonard brought
the railroad into Montana, the first
that penetrated to this wilderness.
Mr.. Leonard was for many years
resident of Butte. He Is brother Of
Charles R. Leonard, one Of Montana's
most distinguished lawyers.
After bringing the first railway in
to the territory, Mr.. Leonard also as
sisted in laying out the townsite of
Dillon. Later on when the road had
ben extended into the territory, Mr..
Leonard as chief of the freight serv-
ice at Ogden wrote the waybill for
the first shipment of freight to Butte.
In another year, 1883, Mr.. Leonard
was agent for the Utah & Northern
at Stuart, its terminus. At that time
Anaconda was a sheep ranch. There
was but one building on what is now
the townsite and flocks grazed where
the Montana hotel now stands.
Last week Mr.. Leonard made q
visit to Butte, his first in many years.
He came as the recently appointed
historian of the Union Pacific system.
He is compiling q record of the first
so years of construction and opera
ton of the Union Pacific. Mr.. Leon
ards home and headquarters are at
Omaha.
His First Visit.
I'VE brought the Utah & Northern
narrow-gauge railway to Big Hole
bridge, December Z, 1885," said Mr..
Leonard in speaking Of his expert
ences. THAT was the first railroad
in Montana. A few months earlier
we had laid out the townsite of Dill
Ion and for some time that point serv-
ed as the railway terminus. From Big
Hole bridge in the winter of 1880
stages operated both for passengers
and freight from the Big Hole via
Deer Lodge for Helena and via the
Jefferson for Bozeman.
"Soon after the completion Of the
road to Big Hole Bridge, I went back
to Ogden to take charge Of the freight
business of the new road. In the
meantime. the line had ben extend
ed to Silver Bow and finally branch
was run into Butte. I took great

HARDING STEPS IN BREACH

IN ORDERlNG that OpeIdllou ol tho coal mines closed down several weeks ago, President Harding has called for a showdown on the nationwide strike issue. Nobody will seriously dispute the presidential authority to deal with the situation. It arises from the su- perio; claim of public interest over that of either the operators or the miners ~fS
 This order is the direct result Of the failure of his proposal that operations be resumed on the old scale of wages for a fixed period, pending arbitration of the dispute.
 But union officials refuse to arbi- trate. They hedge their refusal about with a string of explanations, some oI which may have had merit, but the fact remains that they decline to &C., cede to the presidents request to both sides for the only means of getting to- gether. The anthracite operators ac- cepted the tender of arbitration, and the bituminous operators early the mast week, although not a union voted, voted by a considerable majority to accept and make a collective offer to put their properties and their services at the disposal of the government III this crisis. All, however, asserted ad- herence to the broad principle of ar bitration, expressing willingness to ac- cept arbitration on a district basis.
 In substance, then, the miners and a majority of the operators refused the presidents offer, childishly prefc' ing to shorten the coal supply to a dangerous point, where factories and public utilities must be closed, and coal rationed. as in wartime periods,
 The position of the government was well set out by the president in his statement to the operators, in when he reminded them that '|coal is a na- tional necessity, the ample supply oi which is essential likewise to common WelIdro anu lultl oldIc NoliAAAANi VI adding significantly, "The freedom of action on the part of the workers and on the part of the employers does not measure in importance with that or public welfare and national SC 'urlty.
 The operators were invited to return to their properties and resume opera tions, and that was followed later with an order for the reopening Ot the closed mines, assurance being given that troops would be used in case of necessity to keep the mines going and to protect employees.
 Ii is within the range of probability that the president is using this means to force the two parties in the dispute to get together. Yet there obviously is no element of bluff in it, for the reason that no threats were made beforehand The government acted in good faith in pleading for arbitration, and 1ov th2t thi. suggestion has been rejected nyI one faction, the president evidently sees no other course open to the nlain- tenance of an adequate supply ot na- tional necessity.
 Tomorrow's conference will see the finale of temporizing and arguments: The operators and miners will be fore ed to cease bluffing and state une- they will or will not follow the presi- dents suggestions.

EXPLAINS REASON

An official of the town. of Lincoln
wishes to explain the. reason for the
higher tax rate in that town this
year because of the numerous COM
plants which have been heard. 1t
appears that last year the levy was
$500 short of being enough to carry
on the expenses of the town govern
ment for the year and this deficiency
had to be made up the present year.
At the end of the fiscal year in 1921
there was money on hand in the town
treasury with which to run town
government, but because of the de-
ficiency in the levy this was wiped
out and the town started the year
1921 without funds If both years
had been equalized the tax rate this
year would have been as low,'-if not
lower, than a year ago.
According tc this official the valua-
ton last year was about 100000
while this year the valuation is 1924
900, while the rate for 1920 was .140
and this year the rate is .191. In
justice to town officials of the town
taxpayers should realize how the
increased tax rate came about this
year. Had enough money been
raised in 1920-1921 the town could
have started the present year with
money in the treasury and there
would have been no need for the adj
ditional rate.
