Montana, with an average of
1873 births per 1000 population
for the first three months of 1924,
has the lowest rate In the United
States. The Treasure state also
has the lowest death rate per 1 900
population, with an average of S.3.
The department OF. commerce an
nounces that provisional birth fig
ures for the first three months OF
1924 show lower birth rates than for
the corresponding three months OF
1928. Twelve thousand eight hum
dfed and twenty-seven more children
were born in the United States In
the first three months of 1928 than
in 1924.
In the first quarter OF 1923, 327,-
Gil children were born, as compared
to 314,784 in the first three months
of 1924. The average for the first
quarter OF 1924 throughout the Unit
ed States was 21.3. as compared to
22.7 in 1928, and 222 for the whole
year 1928. The highest rate for the
quarter is 2S9 for North Carolina,
and the lowest, 1873, for Montana.
Five hundred and fifty-five more
children we're born in Montana in the
first three months of 1923 than in
1924. In the first quarter of 1924,

exclusive of still births.
Death Rate Lower
The death rate, according to the
department of commerce, is lower for
the first quarter of 1924 than in
1928. For the first three months
of 1924 the average adjusted death
rate per 1000 people was 1926 as
compared with is for the first three
months of 1928. Owing to differ
of the population, the crude death
rates of states are not always com
parable. Therefore, for purposes of
comparison 1t is necessary, according
to the announcement, to use adjusted
rates based on what is known as the
standard million population. II the
ratios of the crude rates to the ad-
justed rates for 1920 be applied to
the 1924 quarterly rates, the high
est adjusted death rate for the first
quarter of 1924 is that shown for
Florida, 1876, and the lowest, that
for Montana, 8.3. Twenty-four
thousand nine hundred and twenty
two more deaths occurred in 1923
than in the first quarter of 1929. In
the first quarter of 1924 there were
1879 deaths In the United States
and in 1923 there were 177,721.
In the first three months of this
year 1906 people-392 in January,

died in Montana, as compared to
1,444-47S in January, 474 in Feb
ruary and 492 in March, in the first
quarter OF 1923. For the first
quarter of 1924 the crude average
death rates for deaths per 1000
people was III, as compared with an
average rate of SO in 1923. The
adjusted death rate for the entire
year of 1928 was SO, as compared
with an average of 8.3 for the first
quarter of 1924.

RAILWAYS OPEN N. W.
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

Plans for advertising Montann and
the northwest by the Great Northern
Northern Pacific and the Burlington
railways during the next few months
through the~medium of magazines Of
national circulation were received re-
Gently in Montana.
Unlike the past advertising which
is of the educational variety, these
three railroads plan to start COM
paign in September which will urge
the eastern business man and farmer
to settle in this section of the coun-
try. To reach the American public,
the following magazines will be used
in this manner:
The development series of adver-
tisements will appear in the Saturday
Evening Post, the Literary Digest,
Golfers, the National Weekly and
the American magazine.
The Industrial series will be broad
cast through the Nations Business,
Worlds Work, Forbes and the Ma
tional Geographic. The total circu-
lation of these magazines is 1876
l522.
1t is thought by officials of these
railways that In this manner, both
men and money can be brought to
the Pacific northwest. The industrial
advertising campaign Is intended to
impress the American business world
with the fact that this part of the
country possess important industrial
and commercial advantages. Much
data in pamphlet form is being pre-
pared by the development and emf
grafton bureaus of the three railroads
for distribution to interested parties
who write for additional material
than is furnished the magazine dis
plays.

that on August 10, when the Scouts
arrived, they found a comfortable
camp ready for them on the bank of
Yellowstone river, just above Chit
tenden bridge, where the river pours
into the Grand Canyon.
The Scouts were selected from the
Eagle rank-the highest Scout rank
1t was at first planned to bring a
larger party, but because of the ex-
perimental character of the work,
the number was cut, and 80 Scouts
from the four states participated
In addition to Mr., MacLay, the
boys were directed by A. d. Dayton.
Walla Walla, Washington; B. Blew
ms, Pocatello, Idaho, M. L. Crouch.
Great Falls, and Walter Dyke. of
Cleveland, Ohio.
They started to work on the trail
at once, and with amazing vim, they
overcame every obstacle, and in ten
days had built six miles of the best
trail in the park. In addition to this,
they repaired and built up several
other stretches of trail at the Can
yon. The Eagle Scout Trail runs
along the camp side of the Canyon
from the Chittenden bridge towards
Ribbon Falls. Eventually 1t will
run to Tower Falls.
The task the boys undertook was
not easy. The trail runs through
timber, and they had to clear away
fallen logs. grub out roots, cut down
dead trees, and build bridges. They
displayed wonderful stamina and
solid ability to stick to hard jot
until 1t was done. No more attrac-
tive stretch Of trail is to be found In
the park.
When the trail was finished, Il

simple dedicatory ceremonies on
August 81. In accepting the trail,
Superintendent Albright said frank
ly that when the work began, he did
not know whether group of Boy
Scouts could build trails as we'll and
as economically as experienced park
rangers.
But you have proved you could"
he said. THE experiment has been
100 per cent successful. Great Gre
dit is due you and the thanks Of the
park service and the people, You
have achieved something of real val
ne, and promise you, that in report
ing on your work, | will strongly re-
commend that next year Boy Scouts
be put to work in all the National
Parks making other Scout trails"
He congratulated Mr. MacLay,
whose idea the trail building was, on
having originated a new thing in
the way of national service by Boy
Scouts.
The boys presented Mr.. Albright
with an album of pictures showing
them at work on the trail. Scout
Dwight Gilchrist Of Spokane, Wash,
made the presentation.
A great deal OF credit, the boys
said, was due to another Great Falls
man, Donald Johnson, their cook.
Johnson, an experienced woods cook,
took care to see that they we're well
fed.
The excursion was not all work.
! The boys we're all taken on tour OF
the park, and went swimming in
Mammoth pool. Every one OF them
went away an enthusiastic booster
for the Idea, and some OF them told
Mr.. Albright that in a few years
they would come back to the park as
rangers.

vTy o Montana man goes the cred
it for originating an idea which
n resulted this summer In a I'M
the first of its kind in American
history and the foremost of pro-
gram which will be extended In COM
ing years on a truly national scale.
The Eagle Scout Trail in Yellow
stone Park, built in ten days this
season by boy scouts from Montana,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington, is
not only monument to the mettle,
resourcefulness, skill and ability to
work hard, Of the American boy, but
1t Is equally monument to the Wis
ion Of Mr.. A. G. Maclay of Great
Falls, Montana, president of the
Great Falls Scout Council.
Early In the present year, 1t was
suggested that Boy Scouts be used
in some way, on the great national
| highways, and that their service be
recognized by naming portions oil
these highways for Scout organiza-
lions. When this proposal reached
Mr.. Maclay, he substituted for 1t the
idea of having picked Scouts builC
trails in the National Parks. HI
submitted his idea to Stephen T. Ma
Their, director of the National Parl
Service, who at once approved 1t en-
Enthusiastically, and directed that thu
boys be given all necessary co-opera

Park, where 1t was decided to max

WILL CONGRESS RELIEVE TAX
PAYERS

Does Congress really wish to re-
duce taxation or does it prefer to
have surplus to peddle out to
greedy constituents?
That body has from now until
Saturday to answer that question.
1t protests the time is too short,
but it has had all the time there Is.
Why didn't it begin sooner?
Everyone with a grain Of common
sense knows that long delay, much
clerical labor and great expense will
attcnd the processes OF refunding-
If refunding be approved-of any
part of the tax which the public will
pay March Is.
There was plain and easy way
Of avoiding all that. Congress by a
resolution could have relieved the
taxpayer of the obligation of paying
that which would amount to
rebate Of 25 per cent on that
tax.
The money in the treasury war
rants such a rebate. Congress could
have granted it and the taxpayer
be SO much in. to say nothing of
the cost and delay of any other
method.

SURPRISING OR SPREADING
DISEASE?

The sensible haven't the slightest
excuse for being so ignorant in this
country as to suppose the govern
mental machinery runs by perpetual
motion or without a governor. The
need of public interest and coopera-
ton was never more apparent than
now. The State departments Of
health may provide safeguards of
health but the people are the ones
making use of them.
Names health department is
pleased to find that local health Gift
GERS are more prompt In reporting
such cases than they were a few
years ago. But If they do not learn
Of the disease they cannot report it..
In not a few instances people either
through negligence or unwillingness
to make public the cases which may
occur in their homes, really prevent
publicity and precaution and are, in
large degree, responsible for the
spread of the contagion.
How many Of them realize the re-
sponsibility for spreading sickness
and consequent deaths they thus as
sumo? 1t is a very serious one.
Those so fortunate as to possess con-
sciences will hesitate about assuming
any such a responsibility.
