1890 o'clock. This will be a COM

for the purpose of discussing the
growing of certified seed potatoes.

time ago with the Beartooth Boosters
Club and President Plunkett appointed
Gus FoltZ chairman of the committee
on arrangements. The chairman was
assisted by A. E. Madsen, W. J. Beans
and Ed Skoglun. Later on the COM

COUNCIL PREPARED
FOR PROTESTS VS..
OCCUPATIONAL TAX

The much talked of opposition to
the Occupational Tax Ordinance that
was recently passed by the City Coun-
Gil blew up at the regular meeting
held Tuesday night. Quite a large
audience Of citizens attended the meet
ing, thinking that the so-called citi-
zens' committee would present their
opposition to the Occupational Tax
but which did not materialize. Only
one member of the committee was
present. 1t was quite apparent after
this one member stated his views that
the Council was prepared to defend
their action. In passing the Occupa-
tional Tax Ordinance more than two
thirds Of the business people of Red
Lodge had already paid their license
and the Council went on record to pro-
coed against those that had not paid
their license by October H.
The regular business of the Council
was transacted, officers reports were
received and the regular monthly bills
were allowed. A call for bids on city
printing was ordered advertised and
bids will be opened November g.
Considerable discussion was held on
sewer connections. A motion was
made that certain parties be ordered
to make sewer connections with view
of compelling all the people who live
in sewer districts to do likewise.

SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW

In the Picket-Journal of October and the
Fromberg Herald of October there appeared an
advertisement purporting to come from John Glib
son, Democratic nominee for County Commits
sioner.
In the advertisement Mr. Gibson referred to the
News as having published an article January 7 of
this year regarding the re-surfacing of the road
from Silesia to Rockville. Mr.. Gibson charged
that the article is incorrect and for the benefit of

The Inventory

Inc inventory
He died at 6 o'clock a. m. With the
awakening life Of new day he went
to sleep like tired child. 1t was just
as the birds caroled the coming of the I
morning, just as the rosy fingers Of
the orb of day tinted the eastern skies
with sheen of glory, most fitting
time indeed for a noble spirit to take
it's fight.
Upstairs the children were asleep.
Their mother, the lover and helpmate
of his youth, had preceded him inl
death. Often in his last illness had he
thought of her and in his delirium he
travelled back over the years to the
long ago-to bright June morning
when the solemn vows were spoken
and they started in life together, to a
cottage amid the elms and little
curly head tottling to the door, to a
happy young husband returning from
his labors in the evening to kiss his
happy wife and frolic with his baby, to
a fond young mother with her dainty
foot upon the rocker lulling her child
with her cradle song into the fairyland
of dreams.
Then the scene changed and in his
reverie it seemed that as each new
Autumn came and went he saw new
silver in her hair and new signs of
coming age in her beautiful face and
her lovelit eyes grew dim and then,
there was sigh, gasp and for her
the storm Of life was hushed forever.
And now he knew that he must soon
join her in that great unknown and he
grew weaker every day until the last
evening when he lapsed into restless
sleep. The faithful doctor knew that
the end was near knew that but few
hours must pass until the long vigil
would be over and during the hours of
the long night he stood by the bedside
of the dying man whose breathing be-
came slower and slower as the minutes
passed until faint streak appeared
in the east that told of the coming
dawn. Suddenly pallor crept over
the face Of the sleeper, he stirred as
if to speak and with single gasping
breath he lay still and cold.
1t was the end of life and now-the
inventory. The nurse, her face pale in
the presence of death, turned to go but
the physician raised his hand, Don't

KEEPING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

In discussing the Red LOdge-COoke City
road at the Workers Hall Saturday night
Senator B. K Wheeler stated that Congress-
man Scott Leavitt had taken no part in the
early conferences of this road In this the
Senator was mistaken. AS the writer of this
article had charge of the measure and
knows in detail what transpired and wishes
to state that as early as December 1924 Con-
gresham Leavitt took this matter up with
the forest department and with Fred Morrill,,
district forest supervisor at Missoula, and
urged his favorable action on the road. In
December 1925 when the bill was to be intro
duced a conference between Senators
Wheeler and Walsh and Congressman
Leavitt took place in the Congressman Of
flee. It was there discussed whether or not
it would be advisable for Congressman
Leavitt to introduce the bill in the House at
the same time Senator Walsh was to intro
duce the bill in the Senate. It was later de-
cided that there was to be no bill introduced
in the House and that Walsh's bill was to be
followed through the Senate and when it
passed and was put on the interior bill as an
amendment it went to the House. Congress-
man Leavitt secured an agreement between
the conference committees of both the
House and the Senate that the amendment
was to be adopted in the House The COM
mlttees SO agreed and reported that on &C
count of a misunderstanding the amend
ment was lost in the House; through no fault
OF Congressman Leavitt's. After this con-
ferences were held with congressman and
with heads Of departments and an effort was
made to revive the amendment On account
Of the threatened early adjournment of
Congress it was deemed advisable not to
push the measure any further during that
session.
In fairness to Senators Walsh and Wheel
err let it be said that they did splendid work
for this bill, together with the cooperation
in fairness also, let it be said that Congress-
man Leavitt did everything possible for the
bill to carry out the plan agreed upon at the
early conferences and it is unfair for the
people to be lead to believe that Congress-
man Leavitt was not intellectually behind
the Red Lodge-Cooke road project
My advise to the voters of Carbon county
and eastern Montana is to vote for Scott
Leavitt for reelection.
It's idle to think that Harry B. Mitchell if
elected, could accomplish as much for east

Mr. Leavitt is chairman of one of the power
