infantry We're outfitted with he'll
u.ets. The entire American force of
more than 1900 men was in position.
While the Mexican spokesmen ne
gotiated for peaceful surrender it
was feared by officials that the
rebels might prefer American inter
ven.ion to facing strong Mexican
detachments moving on the Mexican
city.

army officer who is said to have re-

AS JENS BRAHE
FARMER WHO FELL FROM
MACON FERRY FOUND
ON SAND BAR

Human remains that have been
identified by relatives and others
as those of Jens Brahe, were dis
covered partly buried on a sand
bar on the Missouri river near
Williston last week Coroner G..
M. Thomas of Williams county
took charge of the remains and
held them awaiting possible iden-
tification. The news story at

covered.
Knife and Clothing
John Frederickson, father of
Mrs. Brahe, went to Williston and
became satisfied after examining
articles found on the skeleton
that the remains were those of
his son-in-law, and they were
shipped to Wolf Point. Several
people here confirmed the identi-
fication A son of Mrs. Brahe
recognized a pocket knife, one of
peculiar pattern, as having be-
longed to his father. o. c. John
son examined his shoes and
clothes and found them to be the
same as Mr.. Brahe had purchased
at Mr. Johnson's store. The
shoes, in particular, were of the
last and material as we'll as size,
that Brahe had always worn.
Funeral services were held at
the Lutheran church Wednesday
at one o'clock. Rev. A. o. John
son conducted the services and |
spoke words of comfort for the |
bereaved ones. The services were |
attended by many friends and |
neighbors who brought beautiful

MONTANA AUTOMOBILE ASSN.
OFFERS LECISLATIVEPROCRAM
Suggests Temporary Increase of Two Cents in Gas
oline Tax for Four Years to Enable Montana to
Claim Millions Belonging to it in Federal Aid Fund

The directors of the Montana
Automobile association have gone
on record as approving and getting
behind movement to request the
next legislature to add a temper
airy two-cent tax on gasoline for a
four-year period.
A bill is now prepared and plans
inaugurated to carry on sensible
and reasonable campaign; pre-
senting to the people and to the
legislature just how much this
extra tax will bring to the state
for the building and maintenance
of roads.
A Means Of Catching Up
At the present time there is an
accumulation or surplus Of federal
aid funds totaling in round figures
$4,500,000 which the State High
day commission cannot reach.
The annual federal aid release"
runs in the neighborhood of ST.
100000 and this is matched by
the incoming present gas tax
which is not sufficient however to
absorb any of the $4,500,000 sur
plus.
If this extra two-cent tax
measure is passed it would mean
that it would bring in at least
$1,250,000 per year and matched
with a like amount of federal aid,
would give the state $2,500,000
over and above what they are now
getting and allow them to build
about five hundred miles of high
ways per year for the next four
years instead of about two hun
dred and fifty miles under the
present program.
Large Accumulation
This surplus $4,500,000 federal
aid has accumulated due to the
large annual sum allotted Montana
to be matched with state funds
for road building on the basis of
for every dollar spent, the state
gives "A cents and the United
States government 56 cents. 1t
was only on January 1st, 1927,
that Montana had sufficient rev.
enue to start a laudable program
of road building. This comes from
the present three-cent gas tax.
The directors of the Montana
Automobile association, urged by
many of it's members, are endeav-
oring to find way to rush the
Montana building program. If this
proposed extra two-cent tax can
be temporarily moulded into a law
at the 1929 legislature it will
create sufficient extra revenue to
advance the work and accomplish |
in the next four years what would
take eight years under the present /
gasoline income.
The matter of maintenance is
another problem that has to be
met by the State Highway COM
as the roads are COM
pleted the maintenance must be
kept up for all projects built
with federal aid funds
and also for that work completed
since initiative bill No. 81 went
INTO effect. Forestry and Indian

FARM FEATURE
LOW-COST WHEAT EXHIBITS
UNIQUE UNDERTAKING
ATTRACTS FARMERS

The Low Cost Wheat Production
Train which will reach Wolf
Point Jan. 23 is without doubt
one of the greatest undertakings
of the kind ever attempted, and
weather permitting, will be visit
ed by the majority of grain farm
ers in Northern Montana.
The train started it's forty-six
day schedule at Opheim, January
Sth, and is now visiting one town
a day as it travels over the
Great Northern lines in northern
Montana.
Snappy Program
A meeting at which extension
specialists accompanying the train
will show the latest low-cost
methods will be held while the
train is here. Motion pictures,
slides and charts will be used to
illustrate methods of reducing
cost through the elimination of
labor, reduction of loss and in
creased yield.
Progressive farmers of this sec
tion of Montana are taking a keen
interest in low-cost production and
are looking forward to the coming
of the train and the afternoon
meeting to become more familiar
with latest ideas along these
lines.
Arrangements have been made
to hold the meeting in the
