CHURCH Of CARS
! IS SOVIET SANCTUM
KremIin, Moscow's Holy of
Holes, CorporeaI Head of
Russian State.
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, u. S. s. r., May 27.--
kremlin, Moscow's holy of holies of
czarist days, although shorn of its spir.
ttual sanctity, is today more unap-
proachable than ever as the corporeal
head Of the present-day Russian state
Within it's walls reside the highest
officers of the government and of the
Communist party; there the cabinet Of
ficials hold their sessions and other
functionaries carry on their official ac-
tivities The entrances are strongly
guarded and the whole area is strong
1y fortified. To enter the Kremlin it
is necessary to take proper steps days
in advance.
Church Being Restored.
The famous church, which Napoleon
defiled during his occupation of the
city in 1912 by stabling his horses
within it, is being renovated and re-
stored to its former grandeur. Age
'dimmed paintings on its walls. done
by famous artists and depicting reli-
gious scenes, are being washed with
infinite pains by some special process
which brings out their original colors.
In some instances it has been discov-
cred that beneath a thick coating of
brown paint there exist other wall
frescoes, which are being uncovered.
In another church, where the coro-
nation ritual was performed in i'm
perial times, lie the bodies of several
Cars and their royal offspring. The
murdered son of Ivan the Terrible,
slain by his father in a fit of passion,
rests there beside the tomb of his au-
gust parent.
Many Relics Displayed.
There are pointed out among other
relics the immense coach presented by
Queen Elizabeth of England to EN-
peror Boris Godunov, and the "sleep-
ing sledge" in which Katherine trav.
eled down from Petrograd for her coro.
nation.
One Of the humblest exhibits Is

HIGHWAYS OILED
IN YELLOWSTONE
1923 MILES OF DUSTLESS ROAD GREETS
VISITOR TO NATIONAL PARK
OFFICIALS REPORT
Main Loop of 101 Miles All Treated and
Also Several Side Trips--Total of 300,-
900 Gallons of OIL Used in Project Was
Hauled by Trucks

The nations greatest playground, Yell
lowstone national park, now offers to
the tourist 1913 miles of oiled highway,
101 miles of the main loop having been
oiled and % miles of approach or side
roads having been SO treated.
The task Of providing this almost
dustless highway in Yellowstone park
has been one of the major road main
tenance projects in the history of the
park and will eliminate the necessity
OF maintaining a springling system.
Some idea of the magnitude of the work
and the difficulties encountered may be
gained from the figures given out by the
engineer in charge Of the project. to-
tai of 100000 gallons Of oil used for the
road was hauled by trucks an average
distance of 80 miles since the oiling pro-
1ect was begun on June II, most Of the
hauling being done over mountain roads.
The second application of oil on the
stretches already covered has now begun
and the oiled highway has met with the
approval of the travelling public to such
an extent that it is planned next year
not only to repeat the 1927 program, but
to oil as much additional road of the
park highway system as the funds will
permit.
This work has been paid for with the
money from the regular road appropria-
tion and, although costing more per mile
than the old sprinkler method is much
more efficient and in the long run will
prove to be the better method from every
angle. The success of the project may
best be judged from the glowing report
of tourists, which have been pouring into
the park administration offices since the
firts stretch of road received coat OF
oil and the congratulations received by
the park service on the improvement
have proved the results realized from
the experiment even better than antici-
pated

John Henry Freeser of Twodot, who
died recently at his ranch home two
miles east of that town, was the last
TO take the long trail of the original
settlers on the Musselsheli, which in
cluded such men as George Lyons,
Perry j. Moore, "Twod0t" Wilson, A.
Van Camp. Martin Settle and others.
His death at this time leaves Martin
Grande of Lennep the Oldest surviving
pioneer In the Musselshell valley. The
death of Mr.. Freeser. a most exemplary
character, brings forcibly to the minds
of the rising generation the transition c.
the old west and makes more acute the
realization of the loss that has been
sustained.
Mr.. Freeser was born January 9, 1843,
at st. Charles, Mo. A veteran of the
Civil war, he crossed the plains in 1864
arriving at Virginia City July is Of that
year. He was engaged for short time
there in the mercantile business and
afterward freighted from Salt Lake to
Helena, and from there to Fort Benton.
He settled on the Missouri river east of
Helena In 1867. engaging In the cattle
business. From there he moved to the
Musselshell valley In 1872 and In 1885
settled on the valuable and extensive
ranch east of Twodot. which has been

The Tibet Pioneers society TO which
the old timers of central Montana are
eligible for membership, is planning
the acquisition OF permanent buiiu-
ing in which meetings can be held anu
where historical treasures OF the sec
fion NAV be placed on exhibition. Ac-
cording to a resolution adopted at the
fourth annual meeting of the organiza-
tion, the building would provide an
art gallery for the preservation OF
photographs and paintings and other
souvenirs of the early days, ana conf
panion piece to 1t would be monu-
ment erected to the memory or the
frelehters of the frontier. The resolu-
tion was introduced by former State
Senator B. C. White of Buffalo, one OF
the early settlers of the judith Basin,
and a leading spirit of the organiza-
ti0n.
The society takes its name from the
old town of TIBET, formerly an important
Judith basin stage station before the
railroad was built into that section OF
the country 1t is related that Ubet de-
rived its name from conversation that
took place between resident OF the
place and the late Senator Thomas H.
Carter at the time when the citizens were
trying to bet postoffice located there.
Senator Carter had been making a
stage trip through that section of the
country and when asked by resident
who wa sa fellow traveller If postoffice
could not be located at a certain place
replied, with vigor:
you bet"
When the postoffice was shortly after
wards established, it was named 'Ubet'
In consequence.
At the meeting Of the pioneers held re-
Gently In Garneill, following the adop-
tion Of the resolution for the acquisi-
tion Of building, committee was
named to arrange for its purchase and
is composed of Senator White, B. c.
DAVIS and Hugh Gordon.
The meeting was attended by many ole
timers from miles around and was pre-
sided over by President Robert She'll
Addresses, picnic lunch at noon, early
day songs sung by Mrs. Gordon, accom-
panied by Mrs. B. c. White, pianist, and
other entertainment were features of the
days program.
Stewart McConochie, In the principal
address Of the day, emphasized the sturdy
character of Montana pioneers history
of the name of the state and the history
and tragic death of Gen. Thomas F.
Meagher, after whom Meagher county
was named, and from which Fergus. Ju-
dith Basin. Wheatland. Petroleum and
parts of other counties were formed. He
explained the necessity for and outlined
the work of early day yigilantes.
B. F. Gordon spoke of central Montana
pioneers who have died and were not
mentioned at previous meetings. These
included Robert Mead. former stage
driver of old Ubet: George Mills, Frank
Lamb. hotel proprietor of Lewistown,

e. U. Bergdahl. who recently made .
trip through Montana noting crop and
farm conditions for the Minneapolis
Civic and Commerce association, before
returning east expressed himself as
greatly surprised at the development
he found.
"One thing I like about Montana" said
Mr.. Bergdahl, lis that they all talk the
same language in every corner of the
state. Wherever one goes, the unquench-
able spirit of optimism and good will Is
evident, and the stranger within the state
is made to feel perfectly at home no
matter where he may be from"
Commenting on his mission in Mon
tana, he said:
MY mission in visiting Montana and
other sections Of the northwest is to learn
how we in Minneapolis can best serve
the northwest. We are all one family In
this great northwest. Our needs and
our problems are one. But our areas are
so large that we do not often come into
personal contact with each other. We
depend upon magazine stories, too often.
to get our information about conditions
and needs that exist. This has led to
We are devoting much time to actual
study Of conditions and needs SO that we
can properly serve this country.
II have spent nearly month in Mon
tana and am much impressed by the
greatness and the variety OF Montana's
resources. / see no reason why further
development Of this state will not make
you one Of the most prosperous states In
the union.
Development of the right sort is need
ed. More farmers, properly placed, 80
that they can succeed, not stampede
Of new settlers resulting In promiscuous
placement such as was experienced few
years ago. More diversifcation wherever
conditions permit SO that we do not de-
pend entirely upon any once source OF
income. There is great future for Mon
income. There is great future for Mon
tana and all her people.
THE railroads will be taxed to the
limit of their capacity to move the north
west crops this fall. Distributors, manu-
facturers wholesalers and retailers will
be given second consideration. Passen-
ger trains will take the sidings to let
freight trains have the right Of way. This
is my prophecy. A belt line railroad is
being built around the Twin Cities on
which westward bound through package
cars can be taken to avoid congested
transfer yards This will be opened for
use soon and will speed up service as
much as "a hours in many cases."

Claims for refund of the three-cent
gasoline tax must be made to the state
board of equalization within the 90
day limit or they VIII not be allowed.
according to an opinion handed down
today by Attorney General l.. A. Foot
I'm response TO a request by the board.
The attorney general has previously
held that counties using tractors I'm
constructing roads are entitled to q re-
fund of the tax on gasoline used in
the machines. The law, passed by the
last legislature, exempts gas used by
farm tractors, but provides that the tax
must be paid and claim then filed
for refund.
Oil and gas leases on resold mortgaged
lands will not be approved by the state
board of land commissioners unless such
leases are executed on the regular forms
adopted by the state board itself, accord
ing to I. M. Brandjord, commissioner of
state lands and investments. A number
of persons who have repurchased mort
gagged lands from the state desire to is
sue oil and gas leases thereon and in
some cases they have signed the various
leases on forms provided by the oil op-
orators and have thereupon asked the
approval of the state board.
There is a scarcity OF upland game
birds this year and sportsmen over the
state are urging closed season on them
this year.
State Game Warden Robert r. Hill has
conducted thorough survey. He has
addressed letters to his % deputy ward
ems In all parts of the state. instructing
them to make searching investigation
and to report findings. These reports
unanimously declare that there is no
ticeable shortage OF birds and recommend
that the season be closed. The loss of
birds applies particularly to blue grouse
prairie chickens, willow grouse, Chinese
pheasants, Hungarian partridges and sage
hens
| Deputy wardens also report that high
water during the nesting season destroy
| geese and that the crop of ducklings and
goslings has been materially reduced.
| Income to the state from the three
cent gasoline tax since its establishment
/ in January has reached 599,903. .15, ac-
cording to figures compiled in the offices
of the state board of equalization.
Although the taxes were paid to the
state treasurer during January and Feb
ruary the state tax board received up tc
June 80, S443 43884 and July receipts tc
date have reached &156 6,46431.
Moneys derived from the three
cent tax are placed in the funds OF the

ment of Montana highways. Collections

cause of the late spring this year, espe-

which were dry this time a year ago.
Improved farming machinery has been
a great help in recent years as compared
