OUTLINES DISTRICT
PLANNING METHOD
Mai. Brown Explains Capital
Commissions Functions
Are Largely Advisory.

The work and method of operation
OF the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission were explained
Yesterday to the heads of divisions Of
the Office of Public Buildings and Pub
lie Parks of the National Capital by
Mai. Carey II. Brown, engineer of the
commission, at a luncheon given by
Lieut.. Col II. S. Grant, Sd, director,
at the Pierce Mill Tea House in Rock
Creek Park.
Mai. Brown explained that the func-
tions of the commission were largely
advisory and it was a, necessity 10 meet
present day conditions. He pointed
out that the various offices dealing
with city improvements are SO pressed
with detailed and routine work that
they have little time for planning.
Aim Is to Obtain Perspective.
Therefore the Park and Planning
Commission was organized to get q
perspective of the whole area and
make recommendations for improve
ments to be carried out by the FED
eral and District Of Columbia agen.
cies. He also said that the Park and
Planning Commission was purchas-
ing agency, it having the duty OF
acquiring lands for park improve
chase its jurisdiction ceased, as the
lands were then turned over TO the
Office of Public Buildings ana Puolic
Parks for maintenance.
The luncheon marked the opening
of the tea house for the season. Ii
Is being operated under the direction
Of the Joint Welfare Service, a quasi
governmental institution, and it is
the desire of the Government officers
supervising it that something distinc.
tive in the way of tea houses should
be developed here.
The mill house, in which it is To-
Gated has been left in its original
condition. the old grinding stones be
ing still in place in the tea room. On
the upper floor, which eventually it
is planned to use as additional space
for serving, it still las the old ma
chinery.
Mill Erected in 1920.
The present stone min was erected
in 1920. with blue granite quarried
near the site, and replaced the origi
nal wooden structure, built in 1890
bv Isaac Pierce. The mill was in
operation as late as 1897. IN that
year the shaft broke.
The only change in the structure Is
the installation Of a lighting system
and an electrically equipped kitchen
cooking, baking and chilling all beinE
done by the use Of current.
The proceeds from this and other
similar projects i'm the parks are used
for providing additional recFeationa
facilities in the parks, and for Tho
maintenance and Improvement OF
those already in existence.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ANNOUNCES He DOES
NOT CHOOSE TORUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 1928
COOidge's Declaration Issued Tuesday Afternoon;
Friends Warn That He Must Not Be Eliminated From
Consideration Should Nomination Be Offered Him

President Calvin Coolidge dropped a
bomb in the political caldron when he
announced in a ten-word message
that Il do not choose to run for presi-

political leaders have accepted the
statement as indicating that Mr..
Coolidge will not seek denomination
others declare there is nothing in the
message to bear out that conclusion.
Many Republican leaders construe the
statement to mean that he would run
if nominated, but that if it were left
to his own personal choice he would
prefer not to run. The President was
reported to be in an unusually genial
mood Tuesday afternoon, after de-

BEARCREEK MINER
is FOUND DEAD

The sudden death of J. J. Lewis, a
well known Bearcreek miner, occurred
at 1890 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
in his room at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Tweedie in Bearcreek.
Failing to get a reply when she call
ed him to lunch Mrs. Tweedie entered
his room and found the lifeless body
on the floor. The consensus of opinion
is that Mr.. Lewis death was due to
the effects of his being overcome by
gas while at work at the mine about
ten days ago, although at that time
he seemed to rally quickly.
The deceased has lived in Bearcreek
for IL or IA years and was employed
in the M. G. & I. mine the greater
part of the time.
The remains are at the Downard
Funeral Home. Burial arrangements
will be completed upon the arrival of

FORTY COUNTIES
MAY EXHIBIT AT
1927 STATE FAIR

More counties will exhibit at the
Montana State Fair, opening this
year on September 5, than ever be-
fore in the history Of the state ex-
position, according to officials of the
department of agriculture, labor and
industry. From present indications ex-
hibits from 35 to 40 counties are con-
sidered probable. Twenty-Five county
exhibits are rated as certain. Last
year only 16 county exhibits were en-
tered. The counties already entered
are well scattered and a representa-
tive display of agricultural products
of the entire state will be on exhibit.
Every county in crop district one,
made up of Lincoln, Lake, Flathead
and Sanders counties will bring dis
plays. That district is the first to
have every county represented. Dis
tricts seven and eight, the first COM
posed of Beaverhead, Silver Bow and
Madison, and the latter of Gallatin,
Park, Sweet Grass, Saltwater, Yellow
stone and Carbon, have but one doubt
full county apiece, Beaverhead and
Sweet Grass. District two, Glacier
Toole, Liberty, Hill, Blaine, Pondera,
Teton and Chouteau, and district four,
Missoula, Mineral, Ravalli, Powell,
Granite and Deer Lodge, each have
three doubtful counties, Pondera ,Te-
ton and Liberty in the former and
Powell, Deer Lodge and Granite in the
latter. Lewis and Clark and Cascade
counties are the only entries SO far
from district five, while McCone is
the lone entry from district six. Dis
trict nine, Big Horn, Custer, Fallon,
Powder River and Carter.
will be represented at the fair by the
first three mentioned counties. Many
of the counties of central and eastern
Montana that are expected to exhibit
have not been listed as certain.
A new system of county collective
awards which will be used at the fair
for the first time this year, awards
premium money to the winning ex-
hibit in each of the nine crop districts
as well as to the best in the state,
and is proving a good drawing card.

able and stormy they will work from

Whereas, the Trustees of this
school district feel that the people of
this district should show their ap-
probation of this generous act on the
part of said companies and realizing
that the officials of said companies
by such act desire to do more than
their legal share toward contributing
in taxes for the support of our pub
lie schools, therefore be it

district No. of Carbon county, Mon
tana, do hereby go on record as ex-
their appreciation to the Of
