Montana Income Tax s2,2se.114

When the Helena revenue office
for the district of Montana closed its
doors on the last day of filing in
come tax reurns-it was found that
the total collections for the period
from June 80, 1928, to March Is.
1924, totaled, 2,236,114.57, against
the sum of s2,269, 265.58 for the cor
responding period last year; or a re-
duction from last years figures of
S33,1151.01, or loss of approx
mately only l 1-2 per cent.
1t is the opinion of Collector Chas.
A. Rasmussen that when the total
collections for the entire fiscal year
ending June 80, 1924, are completed,
it will be found that the receipts
from the district of Montana will
exceed those of last year. A much
larger number of taxable returns
were filed this year than last, but
in many instances the earnings were
smaller. This was especially true of
the business firms, partnerships and

FOR MEMORIAL.
Former Montana Argonaut Making
Campaign In Effort to Induce
Congress to Mark Grave of Famous
Explorer.

Proof of the fact that the few sur.
viyors of pioneering days in Montana
are still interested in the west, par
ticularly Montana, is contained in a
letter recently received by The News
from David B. Weaver, pioneer pros
pector in the early days in Emigrant
gulch, now living at Saxton, Pennsyl-
vania, last survivors of pioneering
days made famous by such men as
James and Granville Stuart. David r.

Mr.. Weaver is now engaged in cam
paign to interest United States sena-
tors in the passage of bill to erect
national monument over the I'M
marked grave of Patrick Gass, one
of the three sergeants with the Lewis
and Clark expedition in 1804-5-6.
Extract of Letter
OF interest to Livingston residents
is the following extract from Mr..
Weaver's letter:
ION the Fourth of July, 1906, Cap
tain Clark divided his party at the
three forks of the Missouri, leaving
Sergeant Patrick Gass to descend the
river below the falls and to meet
Captain Lewis at that place. Captain
Clark, guided by Sacajawea, then
went up the Gallatin valley to what
is now known as the Bozeman Pass,
across the divide, and down to near
where the city of Livingston now
stands and encamped. That was on
the 18th day of July, 1906. Fifty
eight years later, and so years ago
this summer, the writer of this let
ter camped on that same historic
spot.
"There are, at this writing, but
two living relatives of Patrick Gass,
who died at Wellsboro, w. Va, in
1870, IA years ago, and who lies in
an unmarked grave. They are his |
two daughters, one living in Cal
fornia, and the other, Mrs. Rachel

River Falls Is Well Equipped To
Make Impressive Showing

Flag day, June IA, was proclaimed
Saturday by Gov. Blaine. He urge
general display of the flag and APP
propriate exercises in public places.
His proclamation in part says:
"On June IA, 1777, congress en-

as Flag day. 1t is the birthday of
our flag. Into our flags gracious
folds are woven the story of the birth
and growth of the nation, with all
our national ideals and aspirations.
"Our flag is symbolic. Each stripe
and each star sends the memory back
to an honorable page in history. The
red and the white and the blue thrill
our hearts with lofty and patriotic
ideals of courage, purity and loyalty.
When we look upon our flag and
think of what it means we cannot
fail to dedicate our lives anew to its
service"

GILMAN LUTHERANS WILL
BUILD A NEW CHURCH

At the annual meeting of the Gil
man Lutheran congregation held
Tuesday it was voted to build new
church on the site of the present
structure, which is one of the oldest
in this section.
The new church will be of solid
brick, the main part "a by 70 feet,
with 16-foot posts, and an addition
at the rear s by 20 feet. There will
be a square tower in the southeast
corner. There will be full base
ment, ten feet high, containing
kitchen, dining room, and the usual
arrangement of an up-to-date church.
The auditorium will have gallery,
and will seat three hundred people.
Total cost of the bare building is
to be less than $4,000. On account
of the season being so far advanced,
the building will probably not be put
up till next year.-Spring Valley
