MONTANA GUARD
GOING INTO CAMP
NATIONAL GUARD, COMPRISING
NEARLY 1900 MEN, TO HAVE
SUMMER WORKOUT SOON
Some Well Known War Heroes Ann
ong the Officers and Enlisted Men
of the 163rd Regiment; Encamp-
ment to he near Fort Harrison

Montana's great army of peace,
the 163rd infantry regiment, will
go into encampment at Fort Harri-
son, near Helena, on June ID.
With 81 commissioned officers
and LOO enlisted men, the ma
tional guard will hold its summer
workout near the state capital.
The regiment will be under the
command of Col Erastus Will
liams
The encampment of the 163rd in
fantry at Fort Harrison will center in
that place the military men and
equipment from many parts of Mon
tana. The medical detachment from
Poplar, in northeastern Montana
will come under the direction of
Capt. Clarence Munich. There will be
the big service company from Boze-
man, including the 163rd Regiment
band, pride of the national guard in
this state, This band now has AZ
musicians signed up under the di-
rection of Warrant officer, John
Fechter, one of the most experienced
band men in the northwest.
There will be the battalion head
quarters companies from Helena,
Bainville and Wilsal1, as well as the
regimental headquarters company
from Whitehall. With the regular in
fantry companies will be the how
itzer company from Livingston, I'M

Some we'll known war heroes will
be among the officers and enlisted
men attending encampment this sum-
mer. Captain Solomon Peterson of
the Bozeman headquarters company
was awarded the American dis
service cross and the
French croix de guerre for bravery
in France. Scores of the men saw SER
vice abroad in the World war and
not few carry wound stripes.
The two weeks of encampment at
Fort Harrison will be work, but will
leave room for some play. Already a
director of sports is arranging in
competition in baseball,
track and similar sports for the
TWO weeks of encampment. Daily par
ade and drill of the companies, to-
gether woth concerts by the 163rd
band, will draw many visitors to

pher pest. While the tax levy may
be unpopular it is in fact the cheap
est method of handling the matter
The total assessment for Carbon
county for the present year was 5000,
a sum which is quite insignificant
when distributed over all the treated
land in the county. In places where
gopher control is left to the individ-
ual it frequently happens that a
farmer will distribute poison on his
land while his neighbor fails to do
SO. AS a result the farmer who does
the poisoning is rewarded by having
the gophers from his neighbours place
re-infest his land, meaning dupli-
cation of expense and effort the fol-
lowing year. Thus by the levy meth
cd, whereby all share in the expense
and adjoining farms comprising the
agricultural lands are poisoned,
much of the possibility of reinfesta-
ton is eliminated and the expense is
considerably less.

"HE PROBLEM of successfully
financing the gopher poisoning
IL work of county is one that has
apparently been solved in a most sat
isfactory manner by Granite county,
by the assessment of a special levy
on land" All land in the county
must pay its share of the costs of the
gopher poisoning campaign and the
amounts are apportioned according
to the amount of property owned.
In return the amount of gopher poi
son received for the county is appor-
toned to the land owners in pro-
portion to the amount of land. The
fact that each pays in proportion to
the amount of land and that the ass
essment is made regardless of whe-
Their the land owner uses the poison
or not, brings about a general desire
for participation in the gopher con-
troll work.
The county commissioners and
other county officials take care of
such matters as assessments, appor-
tionment of the charges, the securing
and mixing of the poison bait and
this necessarily simplifies and stand
ardizes the work. When all details
have been arranged for and the poi
son is ready for distribution all the
farmers have to do is to come in, get
their share of the bait and to spread
it on their lands.
While this system hinger upon
that very unpopular thing known as
a tax levy for its success, yet 1t is
the only effective and practical

The courses in carpentry and in

new students, while the department

The reason for the heavy enrolment

Progress Mode In Relief
Of Shortage II, Housing
One of Most Encouraging Features Is
Large Number of Residences
Completed.

Considerable progress toward re-
lieying the national housing shortage
was made in the United States in the
year just ended, as shown in reports
iof unprecedented building construc-
| ton in all parts of the country. Many
who have, followed closely building
operations are of the opinion that the
shortage will be further reduced this
year IL there are completed the many
millions of dollars worth of eonstruc-
| tion which has been planned and
projected.
One of the most encouraging fea-
lures of the housing situation, ac-
Icording to authorities, is the large
amount of residence building COM
lpleted, under construction and plan
ned. This particularly applies to
moderate priced construction. 1t is
believed that for the most part the
shortage of the higher priced homes
already has been met. Those who
now find 1t difficult to obtain adequate
living accommodations are the people
! in moderate circumstances and those
who buy or rent cheaper properties.
There has been great deal or com
plant that houses are hard to rent
\ III All parts OIL IUS
there is an abundance of housing for
sale. although at high prices.
! The course of building prices is
| [problematic. in the opinion of build
ers, manufacturers of material and
experts who make a study of build
ing conditions. There appears little
prospect that building wages will
| fall, because, even If material prices
/ fall further, wages always are slower
! to move up or down than materials.
on account OF contracts that exist
! between employers and employees. OF
course, wages can move up faster
than they can fall, under the contract
system, on account of the fact that
when labor is scarce it is the usual
custom TO pay bonus above the
regular union rate. II Is more seldom
that labor, when building is less
! active, is paid less than the regular
union rate.
1t IS generally predicted that more
| homes will be built this year even
than were constructed last year,
