Nolr ana the city. VIII turn this value
in his official capacity as Mayor: and
will bring to a successful close a pro-
ject which started in DR.. Kell's ad-
ministration and extended through
another entire administration, lack
ing Just one week.
Every incident, every milestone,
passed In the work Of bringing pure
water into this city must be sub
ordinate to that act which turns that
water into the city's mains. Even
the breaking OF ground. the passage
OF bond issues, the completion OF the
various units OF the system are less
important than that one act on the
part of the retiring Mayor. Two
weeks from today will be a big day
for the city of Rawlins.
Water now flows the entire length
of the main connecting the collection
boxes in the Sage Creek basin with
the new reservoir. This flow will be
allowed to make its way into Sugar
creek for two weeks. SO that any
flavor OF creosote which has result
ed from the use OF this chemical in
preserving the wood slaves from de-
t~erioration will disappear. Even at
the end OF h period allowed by the
engineers. there may remain some
> slight favor Of c%reosote, but this will
not be sufficient to cause any un-
p~leasantness. 1t is planned to turn
the new water into the mains not
later than May LIST. so that the scores
of property owners who have planned
to plant trees. shrubs. or lawns need
net wait beyond planting time.
And In the development of vegeta,

water. 1t is a value worthy tbs

MONTANA LIVESTOCK
Still MAKES GAINS
SOME OUTSIDE STOCK WILL BE
WINTERED ON SURPLUS HAY
IN GALLATIN COUNTY

Grasses on Montana ranges cured
we'll during August. Drouth condi-
tons persisted and caused some de-
%terioration of range feed, mainly in
western districts and in the upper
drainage e of the Musselshell and
Missouri rivers. Hoppers have dam
aged ranges in a few spots. In a gen
eral way, range feed is short in all
counties west of a park-to-park line;
while east of this line grass is more
abundant with few exceptions. In
practically all of the eastern third of
the state the grass is more abundant
than in years, according to the Sep
temhber livestock and range report
issued this week by George A. Scott
of the Montana Cooperative Crop and
Livestock Reporting service. There
is a large surplus of winter feed in
nearly all of the eastern districts

and lambs. There is a big demand
for old ewes hat will do to start a
farm flock in this and other states
east. The demand for young breed
ing stock is very good also, as it is
with feeder lambs. Recent prices for
the latter have been mostly at 10
1Oh cents.
epOrts from the six counties COM
prising the southcentral district show
a slight surplus of hay in all these
counties, especially in Gallatin and
Carbon. The range grass is generally
excellent, although a few short spots
occur il G~allatin, in the upper Shields
valley Of northern Park county and
in Saltwater county. Some outside
stock will probably be wintered or
fed in this district, where livestock,
with but very few exceptions, is in
abOve-nOrmal condition.

Births Below Average


That the birth rate in Montana is be-
low the national average Is indicated
for the figures Of 1923, announced by
L. L. Benepe, chief of the bureau Of
vital statistics for the state board OF
health.
The fluctuations show that 1O,5O7
babies wee born in this state last
ye, =, which hlsed on a population o.
L11.172 Wild give Montana a birth
rate Of - for every 1000 inhabitants.
The natl nal rate, given out recent
~ by the federal government, is -
4 thousand.
While the lower rate in Montana
generally is not viewed with any par
tiCular alarm by state officials, the
reported reproductive p%roclivities OF
some few counties are so low as to
provoke some apprehension.
That Montana people are equally
reluctant about dying is also apparent
in her death rate figures of the fed
eral government for 1923 which are
placed at a flat eight as compared tC
y out Of every 1000 throughout the
whole country.

The condition rating of Montana
ranges on September l is 90, one
point less than a month ago, and six
below a year ago.
Cattle hold a condition of 1O1, the
same as for last month and a year
ago. Cattle continued to make nor
NAL gains and to harden well on the
rapidly curing range feed. Gains
were not altogether satisfactory in
some of the western counties where
drOuth conditions had been more gen
eral, but in other sections the amount
Of weight put on and the quality Of
flesh was above normal for this sea-
son Of the year. Stock cattle will
generally come off summer ranges in
fine shape. Range cattle shipments
assumed considerable volume during
August, especially from the south
eastern counties.

InfantlIe Paralysis Improves
@@'-


The infantile paralysis situation in
Montana at the present time appears
more favorable than at any time since
the outbreak in Garfield count early
III july and that in MiSsOula in the lat
ter part Of the same month. according
TO a report Of state department of pub
lie health.
In Garfield county, where there was
* cases and two deaths reported. the
epidemic appears to have subsidized.
The number of cases in Mis,oula are
leSSening and the disease has assumed
a much milder form with but one death
out Of the last A. cases. Just how
much permanent damage will result
from those cases recovering, remains
to be seen.
Other counties have reported a total
OF 20 cases, with three in Yellowstone,
the report states. One case was in Bill
Imgs. Gallatih county reported eight
8 with two deaths. two esses &C.
curing in Bozeman, and in Butte there
we're three cases. with two Of them hav-
ing been brought in from outlying dis
tricts. Four cases in Ravalli and one
each, in Dillon and Lima make IN the
total. With coming Of cold weather, IT
is expected, the report continues, that
the cases will greatly decrease.

LIEUT.. LINN SUSPENDED
Fire Department Officer Said To Have Been Drunk When Alarm Sounded
 Saturday Night-Will Have Hearing

Lieut.. Fred c. Linn of Truck No. l., fire headquarters, was suspended yes terday morning by Chief William j.. Noble pending the hearing of a charge of being under the influence of liquor while on duty. The suspension fol- lowed an investigation into tho req son why Lieut.. Linn failed to respond | with his company to the alarm from Box 3S7 for the fire on Mitchell street shortly before midnigh. Saturday.
 Linn reported for work Saturday night, and was not drunk at that time, according to the report made to Chief Noble, but when the fire alarm was sounded just before mid night he was asleep and could not be reused out of bed by members of the departrx%nt. Failing to see him at the fire, Deputy Chief Barnes investlgat- ed when the apparatus returned to the station and found Linn in bed, In drunken condition, it is said.
 Chief Noble, who had returned to 1 his home after the fire. was notlhed, and he went to the central station and suspended Linn. It Is not thought that the charges against the officer will be placed before the fire com missioners until their next regular meeting in August.
 Lieut.. Ian Vas appointed te the fire department in 1919, having served as calIman for two years before that. It is the first time that an! charges against him have been placed before the fire commission.
