MRS. CORHAM TO
Get Sl6O MONTH

A hearing to show cause in the sep
arate maintenance action of Anna H.
Gorham against Prosper r. Gorham
was Thursday held before Judge w
H. Meigs in district court and ended
in the defendant being ordered to
pay his wife $3.50 alimony per month
during the pendency of the action.
An order restraining Gorham from
disposing or transferring his proper
ty was dissolved by Judge Meigs, who
assumed jurisdiction of the case at
the request of Judge H. H. Ewing.
The Gorhams were married at
Sweet Grass, June 26, 1913, and have
three children, Patricia. 10; Francis
Il, and Henri, 8. The wife alleges
that the husband deserted her on Jan
j. 1926, and has maintained improper
relations with other women. She
placed his wealth at about $4,000
and requested $3.50 monthly separ-
ate maintenance.
Testimony in the case was to the
effect that Gorham has an income Of
about $3.50 from oil royalties and
{ her sources and tras hii wits re-.
ceives about s14O month from oil
royalties in her possession. In com
menting on the testimony Judge
Meigs called attention to the fact
tsat the wife had not requested
divorce and that it was possible that
the matrimonial "bark might sail in

Through the recent action of the city

piped into the business houses and

STATE BOARD GIVES
ORDERS AS TO BANKS

Helena, June 2.-To clarity the
1928 assessment problem on state
and national banks, the state board
Of equalization, through its chairman,
James H. Stewart, has mailed letters
to all county assessors informing
them that national banks are to be
assessed on the 7 percent basis and
state banks on the 40 percent basis.
"While it may appear that both
state and national banks should be
in the same class" said Mr. Stewart
.sit must be remembered that the lat
ter are instrumentalities Of the fed
eral government and taxable only by
authority and under direction Of con
eress. while state banks are state or
ganizations, taxable under our own
state laws.
eve have Deen informed that suits
have been started by two or three
state hanks to determine whether
they shall be given the same consid-
GRAFTON as national banks, but as
vet no decision has been rendered
In the light Of the situation at
present. this board feels that it has
no AUTHORITY except as ABOVE indi-
Gated. You are therefore dirscted Tor
the year 1928 to assign stock Of na
tionaI banks to the fifth class and
the moneyed capital or shares Of
stock Of state and private banks to
the sixth class or 40 percent basis,
and personal property Of state banks
shall be assessed as heretofore and
placed in the same class as other
similar property

TWIRLER SOUTH made
KEVIN FAMOUS SUNDAY.
Pitched No-Hit Game At SunburSf
and Kevin Blanked That Team;
Home Boys Tailed But Once

Twirler South of the Kevin base
ball team performed a miraculous
stunt last Sunday at Sunburst when
he hurled nolnit, no-run game, and
the Kevin gang brought home the ba-
con. But the game was a corker, and
the Sunburst pitcher also performed
in big-Ieague fashion, which coupled
with his gilt-edge support, permitted
kevin's heavy artillery to score but
one lone tally. South worked thru
the nine spasms as though his exist
ence depended on the outcome, and
received good support from his mates.
The game was at all times in doubt,
and until the last man was down in
the last of the ninth it was anybody s
game.
AS is usually the case in our neigh
horly city, a vast crowd was in atten-
dance both in the grsndstand and in
autos. A large crowd of hometown
rooters took in the fray, and there
never was a dull moment from the
start to the end. AS was stat
ed by this paper last week, Kevin's
team has the earmarks Of a good
one, and application to the finer
points Of the game will work onders
with the outfit. At Sunburst the en-
ire team was on its toes and conf
dence in south's slants helped out

Owing to the fact that the score
book was mislafd ia sunburst, we are

we very much regret. South made
the only score in the game, and there
were not over two or three errors
made in the entire game, which we
figure was the best game OF ball
played by far, this season,

hour Of 2.sO B M, the Oilmont team
will cross bats with the Sunburst m

GLACIER PARK ROADS
WILL BE OPEN JUNE IS

Helena. All roads and most Of the
trails Of Glacier National Park will
be open by June IS, the beginning Of
the season, according to word receiy-
ed by the Montana publicity division
). R. Eakin, superintendent OF tn
park. A comparatively mild winter
and normal spring have made pos
sibIe the clearing and repairing Of
roads and trails earlier in the season
and it is thought that very shortly
after the official park opening, such
higher trails as Gunsight, Triple Di-
vide, Cut Bank and Indian Pass wi
be open.
New trails available this year are
GrinnelI, Glacier and Mt Brown A
trail from Granite Park Chatlets to
Fifty Mountain Camp and an extern
sion of the trail to Sperry Glacier
are under construction but will not BIZ
available for use until next year.
Reconstruction Of the existing
trails will be continued until all
trails are brought to a high stand
ard Superintendent Eakin announc-
ed. Twenty thousand dollars has
been made available this year, in ad-
dition to the usual maintenance
funds, for reconstruction trail
from Granite Park Chalets to Going
to-the4Sun Chalets.
Highway improvements this year
include the surfacing of the road from
Cardston to Prince of Uales hotel in
Waterton Lakes National Park, Alta.
An all gravel highway is now availa-
BILE from Glacier Park to this Cana
dian Park.
Coed roads will insure the popu-
larity Of the International Park tour, z
Mr. Eakin states. Visitors will OBJ
serve that all roads have either been
rebuilt or are in process Of being re-
built and thaht progress is the key
note OF road building enterprises
through the entire park.
Based upon inquiries and reserva-
lions, park authorities estimate at
least 25 per cent increase in visit
ors as compared with last year The
Glacier Park Transportation company
has purchased 50 new horses. brine
ng the number Of their horses to
more than $50. It is believed this is
he largest number of saddle horses
lsed in a recreationaI area in the
United States, If not in the world
The mild winter has been favorable

should be more in evidence then ever
before.
