alton of the present Lick creek road
completed by the forest service last
summer, opening up the Logging
creek country by way of Tiger Butte.
The road would continue on down Log
ging creek to Logging creek station
on the Neihart branch Of The Great
Northern railroad, and from there
would follow the canyon to Monarch,
connecting with the Y. G. Bee Line
at the later point.
A crew Of the state highway engln-
GERS are now engaged in making the
preliminary survey and have reached
point near the mouth of Pilgrim
creek. They state the preliminary
survey viii also include the proposed
route from Logging creek through
the Sluice Box canyon to Rieeville,
but as there is no appropriation of
funds yet for this project there is
little likelihood of it's getting any far
ther than the preliminary survey for
the present. II has been estimated
that there are portions of this route
that will cost anywhere from $4,000
to 100000 per mile, as the route will
require either numerous bridges or
else cutting the road in solid vertical
limestone cliffs.
The board of Cascade county COM
missioners plan, through federal aid,
to complete the present gravel road
from its present ending at Arming-
ton on up Belt creek to Rceville, the
county portion Of the funds necessary
being available from the remaining
5000, 900 Of the road bond issue. The
board also plans on improving the hill
at Riceville, and on through the Mich
iRan settlement to Monarch, which
with the new Logging creek road
would give two routes that may be fol-
lowed from Monarch to Great Falls
on the Y. G. line. The survey for
the -Riceville road has
been completed and 1t is understood
that It will be one Of the first pro-
jects 10 be started next spring.

Tax League Gives
State Body a Razz

The State Taxpayers League does
not look good to the county organiza-
ton, which met last Thursday even
ing and repudiated the state organiza-
ton, which is characterized as body
Of politicians with framed up" pro-
gram for the personal benefit of the
promoters. This at least is the gist
Of the charges against the state lea
que and the county organization voted
to have nothing to do with it The
sentiment against the state organiza-
tion was so strong that the Cascade
league was not disposed to even con-
slider it under the name of a state
organization of taxpayers.
The motion providing for the with
drawal of the Cascade county organi-
zation from the state body passed un-
animously. 1t was introduced by
Joseph Kirschwing, who said that his
knowledge of the men who partici-
pated in the organization plans had
led him to believe that the association
did not come into being for the pur-
pose of solving the tax problems of
the people His. belief was concurred
in by several of the Cascade county
league officers who attended few
of the sessions held in the Rainbow
Hotel when the state association was
formed.
H. Norskog, who was chairman of
the meeting, urged the association to
take the steps necessary to reduce
Cascade county to the rating of
fourth class county and thus elinai- +
nate a great deal of the public ex-
pense. He declared that there was
no reason why this county should be
grouped as second class county ex-
cept that some of the office holders
and politicians could profit more by
the higher classification. He sug-
gested that the association make rec
concentrations for a reduction in the
taxable valuation of the county and in +.
that manner bring about lower clas-
sification.
A resolution authorizing the com
mittee on county affairs to confer
with the county commissioners and
County Assessor Harold Mady and
demand that steps be taken to reduce
Cascade county to fourth class rat
ing, was adopted by the association. 4
The resolution proposed that the low
er classification be attained by a de- I
crease IN the taxable valuation Of the
county
Governor Joseph NJ. Dixon was
in resolution for the
stand taken by him in urging the .
abandonment OF the state fair for the !

Bringing his basket ball shooters
here evidently with the purpose OF
winning the game whether the meth
DDS employed would pass muster as
good sportsmanship or not, Coach
Harrington of the Teton County high
school, without invitation or pre-ar-
ranged understanding, went onto the
floor last Friday night to umpire the
game between his team and the Belt
Valley high, and through what is de-
cIared by all who witnessed the play,
to have been impartial decisions as an
official and bull-dozing of the referee,
succeeded in his purpose by the mar
row margin of two points.
But In spite of Coach Harington's
unfairness, it was the best game seen
on the local floor this year. and dem
onstrated the fact that under. the di-
rection of BILL" Fluhr the Belt team
is rapidly developing. The defensive
work of the Belt Valley High is now
very nearly perfect though there
still remains considerable opportunity
for improvement on the offensive. In
Choteau, Belt had worthy opponent,
without the aid of their coach, and
while it is true that without this aid
the final results would have been re-
versed, the game would have been a
very good one In the first half, the
score of which was to in favor of
Belt, Johnson was replaced by Lester
for the locals, and in the beginning of
the second half Pattsner was put out
of the game ON personal fouls. being
replaced by Gessae, thus weakening
the play of the locals. Jackson, for
Choteau, was also sent to the bench
in the second half on personal fouls, |
and O'Neill put in. However, O'Ncill
suffered sprained ankle in his first
few minutes of play, and was replaced
by Anderson. Fifteen fouls, seven of
them personal, were called on Belt, I
while only nine, eight of which were
personal, were called on Choteau. The |
lineup was as follows:
Belt Position Choteau
Pattsner r. f. Dow
Butts L. F. A Wiprud
Johnson C. Hammond
shannon F Wiprlld
Mccoy L. G. Jackson
The scoring for Belt was done by
