kinds Of insects. Most Of our shade
trees IN this city are the Canadian pop
lar, the most suitable tree for this
climate, and so far we have not yet
discovered any other shade tree that
can take its place. It grows well, has
the foliage and shape, and If properly
taken care Of will always give salts

"K your trees need pruning, have
the work done by a man who has had
experience. Many trees by severe
pruning, become diseased and die.
Most of the trees in our city are now

MAY PURIFY BELT
CREEK THIS YEAR

The members of the Great Falls
Sportsmen's association met with rep
resentatives from the outside on last
Friday night. The chief topic Of dis
cussion was the cleaning up of the
waters Of Belt creek made uninhabit-
able for fish by the slHm from the
Silver Dyke mine at Neihart. Mr..
Wampler, superintendent of the Silver
Dyke Mining company, was present
and appeared willing to assist in any
way in remedying the situation.
1t appears that the state laws give
the citizens no relief from this condi-
ton and that only voluntarily can the
corporations be induced to alleviate
conditions.
1t is said that there is man IN the
east who has invented a method. Of
clarifying streams from the slum of
mining operations. To get this man
here is expensive, but the Dyke COM
pany has agreed to pay half the ex-
pense if the Sportsmen's association
will pay the other half.
This should be done at once. The
public has been exceedingly consider
ate and=has given the mining com
pay plenty of time to get set and to
do the square thing. No one has any
desire to curb mining operations in
the state but the public has certain
inherent rights particularly when they
we're there first.
We shall always be glad to assist
IN any way to restore Belt creek to
its former condition Of beauty and
make it once more the sportsman's
paradise and recreation ground for
The farmers in this vicinity, the cit
zens of Great Falls and tourists
the state.
We have waited patiently for evi-
ience that there is an attempt in good
iaith to keep the sIum out Of Belt
.reek.

Finds Ancient Skeleton

Early this week Joe voytoski start
ed digging. in the back yard of his
fathers place at French Coulee to
learn the cause Of the sinking of the
earth over a small area. After dig
ging down several feet they encoun-
tered the remnants Of rough coffin
and the bones Of the upper part Of q
skeleton. These bones were brought
to town and turned over TO DR.. Gray
beal. An effort has been made to dis
cover the identity Of the person buried
at this place.
Nearly forty years has passed since
the burial was made but old-timers
think that the remains are those Of a
man by the name Of Hobson who kept
a saloon about where Hollis Lumber
yard now is. This man had had both
legs cut off just below the knees and
walked around on pads. Later in
fit Of dsspOndency he committed sui
eide by cutting his throat. He was
buried by neighbors at the mouth Of
French Coulee, there being no ceme-
terry in use at that time except the one
near the House ranch on LOVER Belt
It is supposed that there are two 9th

NEW NINE TAX
FOR MONTANA

Helena.-The right to tax meta
mines of Montana upon the fair and
equitable gross production basis Is to
be carried to the people Of the state
In a measure to be initiated for sub
mission to the voters at the next gen.
eral election. The work Of circulat-
ing the petitions is undertaken BY a
committee Of 100 prominent citizens
from every section Of the state.
That such a measure win receive
popular support already is indicated
by the offers Of assistance that are
pouring in TO the committees in
charge Of placing the measure upon
the ballot for decision Of the eitiaens
IN November.
The bill as to be Rsubmitted to the
people, is declared not to increase
taxation, but to equaIize the burden
Of providing revenues for the state
government among mining, agricuI-
ture, business and the various other
industries Of the Treasure state. Based
upon the production for 1928, the mea-
sure viii raise approximately s500,OOO
from natural resources of Montana
which now escape taxation entirely or
pay but small portion in comparison
with other industries.
Proceeds Of the metals mines tax
will be divided equally between the
public schools and the state treasury.
Direct benefits Of the law will be re-
ceived by every child Of school age
in the state and other taxes for school
purposes viii be reduced to the ex-
tent of quarter million dollars, II
the figures on 1925 production hold
good as basis for estimate.
The bill viii in no way work a hard
ship upon the prospector and small
mine owner. The tax is graduated
and it is only after production Of $780,
600 annually Is reached that the / per
cent tax becomes operative and col
lectable. Under the bills provisions
all mines with a gross production Of
less than 100000 annuRiiy are e=exz
empt from the tax. Mines whose
gross production exceeds 100000 and
does not exceed s250.00O are to be
taxed one-fourth Of per cent Of the
value Of the production; mines whose
gross product value exceeds 1926, 900
and does not exceed s4OO,O 900 will pay
one-haK Of / per cent; mines whose
production yields more than 100000
annually and does not exceed 100000
will pay three-fourths Of 1 per cent.

WAGE WAR on
COUNTY UNIT


Red Lodge.-Farmers Of the Pew
erty Flats district unanimously con-
demned the county unit system OF ru-
raj school administration now in sf-
feet in Carbon county, at a meeting
at the Frank Weller ranch. They
agreed that, in the event voters should
fail to abolish the aystem at the elae-
ton April 20, the residents Of sAe
four districts represented would unite
to form q second class and get away
from the unit administration IN tlak
manner. There were 75 voters pres
ct Mr.. Weller was chairman.
The assembly voted to employ W. J.
Hanna Of Big Timber 70 canvass kka
county for the abolition Of the wmlk
system. Word was received Fx1dmv
by c. 7. Oliver that Mr.. Hanna wsmaa
accept the offer. He win begin work
promptly, according 70 Mr.. OllveE.
Extravagance was the ehieg eharma
brought against the county unit avs-
tenn, said Mr.. Oliver. Some Of sass
farmers present exhibited TAX re-
ceipts which showed increases IN TIA
last four years ashigh as 500 ON q
single piece Of property. Il was urwed
that these increases were In large
measure caused by the change IN
method Of rural school administra-
tion.
A similar meeting was held at Ma-
gar last week, but those present we're
not as unanimous IN their views na
the farmers Of the Poverty Flat res
idents. At the Edgar meeting there
were those who denied the present
system was more costly and also
those who argued that IN the end sAs
county unit system Is better for tbs
county as q whole than the eaxsamR
method Of district management mmd
finance. Those who favor the pruu-
snt system argue that Il is the Only
feasible method whereby.the weIl-pop-
ilated, wealthy districts may prop
srly fulfil their obligation Of aiding
he sparBely populated, less fortunmAn
iistricts. They argue also that saaaee
many supporters Of the district plnm
agree that the unit system is good Ina
heory, that correction should be mmae
n its administration rather than con
Iemn the whole method.
Abolition Of the unit system win
orce many Of the smaller schools %
urtail the length Of their terms frun
ne to SIX months, according to coun-
y Superintendent Ellie NJ. Peterson.

d districts win probably be closed
