Soo,loJoD Tor the nscal
year ending June 80 is
made by General Lord, director of the
budget bureau.
When original estimates of receipts
and expenditures were made by treas
ury officials the statement was made
that deficit of as much as S7OO.o .ooO,-
300 might be faced. This was cut
down In later estimates, and in the
most recent statements the prospective
deficit was put at S1OO, 100000 to $780,
100000, the hope being expressed,
however. that ways and means would
be found to wipe 1t out and balance
the budget.
In predicting that the threatened
deficit would be turned into a surplus,
Director Lord said that this was con-
tingent upon economy in and a contin-
uance of the customs and internal rev.
enue receipts at the present high rate
until the end Of the fiscal year He
now estimates that the customs re-
ceipts for the year will total S54O.OOO,-

ceipts will reach S2,615,OOO.OOO.

~OUCHED by an unusual en-
deavor to show gratitude, Pres
ident Harding directed the War
department to ascertain the
burial place of Gen. Edward r. S. Can
by, an officer in the Union army during
the Civil war. The President acted
upon receipt of letter from Charles
Hall, an aged attorney of Bay Min
nette, Ala, who wrote that he wanted
to place wreath on the grave of Gen
eral Candy.
General Candy was in command of
the Federal army at Fort Blakely, in
man wrote the President. THE Con
federate soldiers at Fort Blakely sur
rendered TO him on April o, 1865. On
the morning of April 15, 1865, General
Candy was in Fort Blakely and on that
day my father and l went to Blakely
to see General Candy to ask him for
something to eat, as everything my IA
ther owned at that time was destroyed
by the Federal soldiers. We went into
Blakely In one-horse wagon and Cen
eral Candy had the wagon filed with
the best kind of food.

Bobcats Easy Winners
In Game With Colorado

The Bobcats of Montana State col
lege easily won from the Colorado
State Teachers college eleven at
Greedy, Colo, last Saturday, piling up
score of 48 to IL against their less
formidable grid opponents.
The bright particular stars of the
game for the Bobcats were R. Rom
ney at end, and Floyd Romney at full
back, the two forming passing COM
bination which resulted in the scoring
of five of the Bozeman boys seven
touchdowns. Halfback Hatfield made
the other two touchdowns by skirting
the Teachers field on two occasions,
once with a fine 50-yard run and an
other with a spectacular 75-yard
sprint.

"OVER-ESTIMATED"
SAYS f. |. BENEPE

Like Mark Twain's refutation of
the erroneous report of his death,
the figures of Montana wheat pro-
duction this year are being grossly
exaggerated, according to F. L. Bene-
pc, of this city, an old-timer Gallatin
county grain man.
Mr.. Benepe calls attention to the
republication in a number of news
papers throughout the state of news
items which unwittingly, or other
wise, misrepresent this years wheat
yield, some of the articles over-quot
ing the actual yield by as many as
ten million bushels.
"The great trouble about these sor1
of errors says Mr.. eBnepe, "is that
while this form of exaggeration may
have tendency to increase land
values and thereby help the rea
estate man, and may bring few
more settlers into Montana thar
would otherwise be the case and thus
tend to prove that paid publicity meI
are trying to earn their salaries, TIT

The Teachers started off with a
three-point lead in the first period as
the result of a fine 49-yard drop
kick by Timothy.
The Blue and Gold squad, composed
of eighteen men, the manager and
Coach OFT Romney, departed from
Denver Monday night for Alberquer-
que, New Mexico, where they are be-
ing given q few light try-outs pre-
paritory to the playing of the last Of
ficially scheduled game of the present
season with the University of New
Mexico eleven on Thanksgiving day.
If the Bobcats win this game it will
mean that they will then be accorded
high rating in the Rocky Mountain
Conference and thereby be entitled to
a better schedule next fall.

COUNTY Will Soon
APPRAISE PROPERTY
UNDER NEW LAW, COMMISSION
ERS WILL PUT VALUATION
ON COUNTY PROPERTY

Under the provisions of a new law,
passed during the last session of the
state legislature, the board of coun-
ty commissioners of Gallatin county,
composed Of James E. Moore, chair
man; George w. Darlinton and John
Aakjer, will begin this week on the
work of re-appraisement of all coun-
ty property. A special time has not
been set for the completion of the
re-assessment, which will be done
from time to time by the commission
ers on their trips of road and bridge
inspection throughout the county.
To aid them in their valuation sur
vey, all road supervisors will be asked
to take a careful and accurate inven-
tory of all the county property in
their possession, such as road graders,
scarifiers, drags, plows, fresnos, roll
ers and machinery, equipment and
tools of all kinds, and send their lists
to the commissioners office, where
the items will be compared and tabu-
lated by the clerk, Miss Mary Cal
laghan.
The results Of the re-appraisement
work will then be used by the coun-
ty officials in accurately charging off
the varying depreciation of county
property, as now required by statute.
Under the old system blanket or ar
bitary depreciation figure was used,
but it was found that where a 10 per
cent depreciation figure for instance
was used the property which accord
ing to the depreciation figure should
have been worn out in ten years, was
apparently as good as new and still
doing good work or service due to
careful repairing and safe storage.
The new system eliminates all guess
work in the actual appraisment of
county property.
The extent Of this work will be ap-
preciated when it is pointed out that
there is now total of over 1900
miles Of county road actually in use
and subject to maintenance and up
keep expense, as we'll as from four to
five thousand small culverts, or about
five to the average mile.
Besides this, there are large num-
Der of wide bridges and large con-
crete culverts, all of which must be
appraised and q value placed upon
them by the commissioners.

MRS. IVA DANNER
WEDS BAKER jim"
FORMER WIFE OF CONVICTED
MURDERER WEDS MAN WHO
BEFRIENDED FAMILY

While her divorced husband, cousin
and step-father, Seth Orrin Danner,
an itinerant automobile mechanic of
part Cherokee Indian blood, lies in the
Gallatin county Jail in Bozeman under
sentence of death, awaiting the date
Of his execution, which was pro-
nounced upon him last month by a
jury in the district court, for one of
the most cruel and cold-blooded murd-
ers recorded in the criminal annals
Of Montana, the killing of Mrs. Flear-
ence Sprouse, and her husband, John
Sprouse, travelling and hunting COM
paniOns of the banners, on Novem-
Der IA, 1920, at Central Park, Mrs.
Iva Bertha Danner, largely upon
whose testimony her former husband
was convicted, was married Monday
in Butte to Jim Troglia, aged SO years,
of Three Forks, the man so frequently
referred to throughout the Danner
trial as "Jim, the baker"
While the defense in the Dannel
trial attempted to incline the minds
of the jurymen toward the reception
of the theory that Mrs. Danner wa:
enamored of another man, presumably
"Jim, the baker," Danner going 81
far as to accuse his former wife o.
intimacy with other men and tina
she killed Mrs. John Sprouse in self
defense, every bit of testimony intro
duced at the trial, in which Trogli;
was mentioned, merely tended to prov
that the baker was the only rea
friend that the banners had. 1t wa
shown that whenever Danner wa
away from home and left his wife an
four children in actual want, or wa
in Jail serving time for various petit
crimes, Troglia was the Angel Q
Mercy who supplied coal that tn
family would not freeze in their ter
or in the crude shacks in which the
lived, and that there would be foo
for hungry little mouths, and clothin
for weak, emaciated and under-noul
ished little bodies.
Those in the best position to kno'
all the facts are a unit in the belle
that the marriage of Mrs. Danner an
Troglia is the elimination of road
side romance which had it's inceptio
in the time-honored theory that "Pit
Is Akin to Live" The belief is ais
held that it was Troglia who induce
