FIRST ACCIDENT IN
PARK GRAND CANYON

ing points over the soft sandstone a
further distance OF 200 feet.
The horribly mangled bodies were
recovered two hours later from the
mass of twisted steel near the riv-
er's edge, fully 1000 feet below the
road, by Wendell Mclean, of Boze-
man, and Fred Hudson, of Anaconda,
both bus drivers for the Yellowstone
Park Transportation company who
witnessed the accident and, at the i'm
minent risk of their own lives, crawl
ed down the steep precipice and fas-
tened the ropes to the bodies with
which they were pulled to the brink
of the canyon.
The remains were transported i'm
mediately to Livingston, where they
were prepared for burial by Under
taker and Coroner G. Walter Selby
who shipped them to Hastings, Mimi,
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Nick Thill,
parents of Mrs. Dunn, where inter
ment will be made.
Just what caused the accident will
never be known, and just why the
driver backed his car on a one-way
road toward the canyon instead Of
away from it, can only be c%Onjec-
tured. Only in a few other places
along the entire canyon road could
such an accident have happened. The
two trees which the car had to pass
in its downward path were only a
few inches wider apart than the
width of the car. The machine went
through clearly without hating for
a second and with no limbs inter-
cepting its passage.
A rumOr, brought to Bozeman by
a couple OF itinerant lads, going west,
who claimed to have seen it, to the
effect that Is tourists, including the
driver were instantly killed when a
park bus dropped into the Yellow
stone canyon Monday, was found to
be absolutely false. The report was
told to Police Chief Metheny, who
later telephoned to the coroner in
Livingston and ascertained that the
story was a pure fabrication, al
though it had been given general
credence throughout the city and in
many of the rural districts of Gal
latin county.

GOVERNOR ISSUES
TAX PROCLAMATION

inserted at the instance Of the min
ing interests which, at that time
welded the balance of power and in
fluence in the state, giving metal
mines the discriminatory advantage
Of paying their taxes on a met pro-
ceeds" basis, while merchants, farm
ers, small manufacturers and 9TH
ers have to pay their taxes on an
actual, or cash, valuation, the people
of Montana have been trying for
years to either amend the constitu-
ton or otherwise insist that this dual
and unfair SYSTEM of taxation be
done ava with, and county after
county have repeatedly sent repre-
sentatives and senators to the state
legislature pledged to S their in
! fluence and vote in that direction
but always without avail.
The matter is now entirely taken
out of the hands of the legislature
and for the first time In the history
of the state the people themselves
have in their power, through the bal
lot, the opportunity to so change thu
constitutional provision that the big
mining interests will be forced tt
nav into the state treasury, partly
for ommon school purposes, a per
centage of their earnings that nov
go to maintain subsidized or out
right owned daily and weekly news
papers and for other more or les
questionable purposes.

After that, the big fellow settled
down and went to work in real earn

lonesome hit during the remaining

to 3, at the beginning of the
sixth, when Gallatin county opened
fire and put the game on ice.
Finley, the first man up, hit safe
ly for two bases. Glynn knocked
his fourth home run of the season,
clearing the bases and tying the
score, 5 to 5. With none out BOze-
man again filled the bases with safe
hits, the entire team getting two
chances each at bat. When thhe bas-

three-bagger to the tall timbers,
scoring the three ms ahead of

of Livingston's third-sacker. When
the smoke of the battle had finally
cleared away at the end Of the sixth,
the score stood II to 5, in favor Of
Bozeman. The local team scored one
more run in the eighth.

the purchase of a ticket between Jul,

Each year the railroads have bee
good enough to grant reduced rate
on this same plan, but the rate Sc
dom has been effective because bank
ers have failed to obtain certificate
at the time of purchasing tickets.

the average. July is usually the
critical period for Montana spring
wheat, and the final outturn depends
largely upon moisture and tempera-
lures during the next three weeks.
Winter Wheat
A production of 1897, 900 bushels
Of winter wheat is forecasted from
a condition OF IS on July 1. This
compares with 12,546,OOO bushels har-
vested last year, and with 9,516,OOO
bushels, the average for five years
(~1919-23). Winter wheat prospects
are generally very good in the i'm
pOrtant central and south central
counties, but has been heading short
in the western and southwestern dis
tricts, and in part of Gallatin.
Oats
Based upon a condition rating of
81, a crop Of 21,924,0OO bushels OF
oats is expected. This compares
with last years production of b.
100000 bushels and with the Swear
(1919-23) average crop of 14,672, 900
bushels. The general June rains and
the cool weather improved the out
look for oats ove most of the state.
Barley
The condition of barley on Julv |
was "a, from which a production of
2,352,000 bushels is forecasted. This
is slightly less than the 1923 crop
but $4,000 bushels more than the av.
erage production 1923. Barley
has not made normal progress in the
western and southwestern counties
and is late in all the eastern re.
gions.
Corn

timated acreage Of $4,000 acres for
1924. Last years acreage was $685.
900; two years ago it vas 228,000;
and the average for the 5-year per-
iod (1919-23) was 100000 acres. The
cold spring has been unfavorable for
corn, and with a condition of Is, a
production Of 11,461,0OO bushels is
f~erecasted. Production for 1923 was
100000 bushels, and the 5-year av-
erage 4,31S, 900 bushels. The remark
able increase in the corn acreage is
due mainly to the success Of the
crop for the past two years, and to
the general recognition of the value
of the crop in a successful farming
system in Montana, as a source of
feed and in preparing ground for
subsequent crops Of small grains.
Corn planting was delayed by the
backward spring, and considerable re-
planting was necessary. Progress up
to July was slow, but recent warmer
weather has stimulated growth re-
markably.
Potatoes
The estimated potato acreage in
Montana for 1924 is $4,000 acres,
which is 1000 acres more than for
1923. The 1922 acreage was $4,000
and the 1923 average was 10000
acres. From a condition Of 81 a pro
duction of 3,944,OOo bushels is ex-
pected. The 1923 production was
100000 bushels, Tor 1922 it was
$4,000 bushels and the average
for the 1923 period was 4,2O5, 90
bushels. Some increase in the acre
age is noted in the Flathead region
in the Milk River Valley, and in a
few other localities, while there is
apparently some reduction in the Ra-
valli and Madison county sections
Potato prospects average poor al
this time, due to a late start, fros,
