GOVERNORS MESSAGE


Helena, Jan. 9.-With members of
Montana's legislative assembly gath
cred in joint session in the house of
representatives, Governor John E.
Erickson at noon today delivered his
third biennial message to a gathering
of Montana lawmakers. Galleries
were packed. Folding chairs had
been placed between the chairs of
representatives. Senators, who march
ed to the house chambers in a body,
were seated with the representatives
from their home counties.
State officials from capitol offices,
business men from all parts of the
state, wives and relatives of the SOL
ons found standing room and formed
fringe. around the spacious assem-
bly, room. All the pomp and cere-
mony that dignifies the official ap-
pearance of the states chief executive
at the opening of the session, marked
proceedings. Dignity prevailed.
Among the highlights in the Gov
errors message was the following:
He stressed the prosperity and de-
velopment that has been the states
in the last few years and drew atten-
ton to new problems that have result
ed from the changed conditions. owe
are justified in regarding the present
with satisfaction and the future with
OPTIMISM" was the executives com.
ment.
Attention was drawn to increased
budget requests together with the
warning that increases care out OF
the question unless you also make pro.
vision for increased revenues"
Amendment of the classification
law to base the state levy upon the
full assessed value of property anC
the submission to the voters of pro.
posal for an increased levy upon the
present basis are suggested as pos,
sible remedies for the condition.
Recommending that sufficient reve
nue. be supplied to take up an allotted
but as yet unmatched, 100000 gov
eminent highway funds, the addition
of two cents a gallon to the state
gasoline tax is suggested as perhaps
the proper method of obtaining the
required funds.
Attention is drawn to "sorely need
ed" legislation in relation to the taxa
ton of banks.
Correction of land laws enacted a
the last session is proposed.
Minor changes in the workmen'
compensation laws are suggested.
Establishment of more protein la
boratories is recommended.
Safeguards for special improvement
districts in cities and towns are pro
posed.
Reduction of the number of distric
judges at a saving to the taxpayer
is another suggestion.
Consideration of the proposal t
construct historical building on tn
capitol grounds is recommended.
The governor favors continuance o
the appropriation for the Veteran:
Welfare commission.
Need for a centralized accountin
system is marked and earnest atten
ton is asked for the proposal.

Gasoline Engine Invention
Made By Williston Man

Williston, N. D., Jan. 9.-Charles
Van Allen, employed as an automobile
mechanic by the Reep Chevrolet COM
pany here, has invented a gasoline
engine, which he believes will have
marked effect on power production for
all purposes and especially for auto
mobiles and airplanes.
The engine is of the two-cycle type
and Mr.. Van Allen claims it will pro-
duce twice the expansion possible in
either the two or four-cycle types and
that, therefore, his machine will be
far more economical, while being at
least 80 per cent lighter in weight.
The explosion being released at a
much lower pressure than is possible
in any other type of internal combus-
ton engine, the inventor explains, a
single cylinder of given size will
produce more power than two-cylin-
der four-cycle, being at the same time
20 to 40 percent more economical.
Mr. Van Allen, who has been an
automobile mechanic for many years,
has a small model of his engine and
has applied for patent for his in
vention.

BAKER EDITOR SELLS
INTEREST In PAPER
TO MAN OF PLEVNA

Miles City, Jan. 5.-Karl R. Pleiss
ner, editor and publisher of the Plev
ma Herald, has purchased controlling
interest in the Baker Sentinel and
will continue to operate the two
plants. Mrs. Lucy R. McLemore of
Baker owned 72 per cent of the Sen
tinel stock which she has disposed of
to Mr.. Pleissner. Mr.. Pleissner is al
so owner of the Tribune published at
Baker and thus comes into control
of the printing business in Fallon
county.
In her farewell to the newspaper
business Mrs. McLeMore says she has
taken over the Travellers Inn, former
ly known as the Fallon House, in con-
nection with the management of which
she will conduct a real estate office
She also pleads for the city owning
the gas output in the city contendinq
that the income from the franchises
and operation would, in time, reduce
the matter of taxation to a negligible
item as an obligation to the citizens
of Baker.

says that Myhrvold took large guam
tity of bichloride of mercury tablets,
some of which he ate in bonbons and
some he swallowed after soaking them
in lysol. This he did on the third
floor of the Y. M. C. A where he had
engaged a room. Soon after he went
to a window and raised it, probably
seeking fresh air in the agony he must
have been suffering. He either fell
or threw himself from the window
and landed on the pavement fatally
injured. Some of those who gathered
about him say they asked him if he
fell or jumped and that he answered
that he fell. He was rushed to hos
pital but died soon after reaching
there.
At Home Christmas ..
Mr.. Myhrvold spent Christmas day
at his home in Chinook where his
wife's father, A. w. Ziebarth, resides.
Mr.. Ziebarth is prominent citizen of
the town. His friends there say
Myhrvold was cheerful and apparently
in good health. But it is their belief
that he was under the delusion that

had been suffering from sinus trouble.
Several people in Wolf Point, who
talked with him the day he left say
he was perfectly normal in his man
ner and rational in his talk. A. w.
Burgess of the First National con-
versed with him and Myhrvold told of
his reasons for changing his occupa-
ton and his plans for entering bust
ness. A. w. Huxsol had a lengthy
conversation concerning revenue mat
tiers and says he noticed nothing I'M

mean better company housing, group
