OBITUARY
MARY TURTLE

Mary Turtle, eighty years old
was found dead Saturday morn
ing near the railroad track about
two miles west of Wolf Point,
She came up from Poplar on Fri
day and attended a dance west
Of town. Nothing was seen of her
after she left the dance hall until
her body was found. The first
report was that she had frozen
to death, but the weather that
night was scarcely cold enough
for that. Mary Turtle is an aunt
of Moses Whitehorse
Mary Turtle who was a niece
of old Chief Redstone, was born
in the vicinity of Fort Union. and
was married there to r. w. Cum
minis, who was afterward station
ed at the Crow Agency as agent.
To this union were born three
children, only one of them sur
viving to grow to maturity. He is
Richard Cummins of Lodge Grass.
An attempt was made to reach
him with the message of his
mothers death but it was said
to be impossible on account of
the deep snow.
After the death of her first
husband she became the wife of
Turtle, with whom she lived un-
til his death ten years later.
Later in life she married Last
from whom she obtained a divorce
last summer. She was n of the
prominent members of st. Mary's
society of Oswego, and had many
friends, although she leaves few
close relatives.

barely been tapped. Development
Of a state or a section of a state
cannot be measured in terms OF
a single year as compared with
some other single year. Making a
comparison of ten year periods
it is to be seen that the state IS
steadily going forward. The ex-
pansion is bound to be accompan-
led by the necessity for the ex-
penditure Of more and more mon
ey, so that an appropriation which
seems ample at the beginning OF
a ten year period is woefully
inadequate at the end OF that
period. He said that Montana cit
liens pay only about half as much
taxes to the state as the aver
age for the twelve western states.

EARLY SEASON
USED CAR SALE
CAMRUD MOTORS OFFERS AN
ATTRACTIVE LIST OF
TRUE VALUES

AS part of a nationwide pros
perity movement to inaugnrate an
early spring buying season a SEN
sational sale of used automobiles
will be opened Saturday, March 8
by Camrud Motors of this city.
This sale, held primarily to as
sist in leveling the peaks Of sea-
sonal buying which recently we're
subjected to governmental criti-
cism, offers exceptional opportuni-
ties for the motoring public to
obtain unusually fine automobiles
at low cost, according to Mr.. Cam
rud.
There are several reasons why
this sale should be of particular
interest to those who desire good
automobiles at unusually low pric-
es," said Mr.. Camrud. "In the
first place there is a wide selec-
ton which may not be available
later when the rush of spring buy
ing opens. This wide selection
has been made possible by the
fine business done by Oldsmobile-
Viking dealers in this locality
since the first of the year, which
has resulted in a good stock of
quality used cars being assembled.
I'm addition to this wide selec-
ton, these cars have been care
fully reconditioned during the
past few months which, normally,
constitute the ~quietest season for
our service department. By TAX
ing advantage of this available
time the cars have been given un-
usual attention by our service
mechanics.
Price, of course, is another i'm
portant factor. Due to the deserv-
ed popularity of Oldsmobile and
Viking, we have not been required
to make undue allowances for
cars received in trade with the
result that they have been priced
in accordance with the true value
they represent"
A description Of a number or
these used car bargains will be
found in the Camrud Motors dis
play ad in this issue.

MRS. A. C. WALL

Our beloved wife and mother
was born January Z, 1878 near In
man, Kansas, Mcpherson county.
At the age of ten her mother was
taken from her by death, which
put much work and responsibility
on her young shoulders, until, by
remarriage Of her father, she re-
ceived a new mother. She was
converted to the Lord God at the
age of 10, and on June 10, 1897
she was baptised on free confess
sion of faith and united with the
Eben-Ezer church at Inman, Kan
sas. She was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony with A. G.
Wall on October 26, 1905. They
established their home on a farm
near Henderson, Nebraska. In
1911 the family moved to Litch-
field, Nebraska, where they re-
sided for a period of six years.
In 1917 they moved to Wolf
Point, Montana. The pioneers
life here was strenuous and at
times discouraging. In addition
she suffered greatly from sick
ness which tried her faith in the
Lord. She was forced to undergo
a serious operation at Rochester,
Mimi, in August, 1917 from
which she recovered in due time,
so that she could continue her
household duties.
She had been ailing more or
less since Christmas. Still she as
sisted with the Homework. Often
she wondered whether her suffer
ing would result fatally, and she
was highly resolved to be prepar-
ed to meet her God.
The last few days she was too
weak to leave her bed, although
she suffered few pains. However,
a few hours before the end, pains
set in in her chest and it was
difficult for her to breathe. Her
turned serious, and al
everything possible was
done to relieve her. she passed
to her reward at GAO o'clock in
the evening of February 20, 1880.
The deceased attained the age
of So years, / month and Is days.
To this union we're born six chill
dren of whom three preceded
her in death.
She leaves to mourn her pas
sing, her husband; one son, Cor
nelius; two daughters, Mari and
Mathilda; three brothers, H. c.
Wiens at Lustre, Montana, and
Abe Wiens at Meade, Kansas, and
Jacob Wiens at Salem, Oregon;
and four sisters, Mrs. P. e. Epp
of Lustre, Montana, Mrs. H. ".
Edegar at Farnsworth, Texas,
Mrs. P. E. Kroker and Mrs. D, P,
Edegar at Inman, Kansas; and a
host of other relatives and
friends. She remained true to her
faith in God until the end. So we
comfort ourselves with the words
she left and the life she lived,
knowing that she is now with her
Lord and Master.-Contributed by

WOLF POINT FLYING
CLUB OPENS SESSIONS

The Air club had it's first meet
ing in the ]. o. Garden building
on West Main Tuesday night. II
was the first of a series that will
continue indefinitely in the study
of ground school work. These
meetings will be held Tuesday,
Friday and possibly Wednesday
of each week.
The first meeting was well at
tended, the subject taken UP was
meteorology and will be given con.
tinued study until it is thorough
ly covered. Here is your chance
to do something about the wealth
or.
Primarily the club is composed
of members who are deeply in
terested in aviation. Men and
women who expect some day to
own their own ships and to fly
them either as a means to earn
a living or for sport, but this is
only because of their deeper in
terest. Any one who is interest
ed in flying or anything related
to flying is invited to come. If
your desire is nc greater than a
wish to intelligently understand
news reports that is sufficient
reason for your being here.
Jim Cook, who has spent con-
siderable time in Detroit studying
all the phases of ground school
work, is in charge Of the classes.
Any subject taken up in any
ground school course in the coun-
try, will be covered. When the
course is completed it should be
possible FOR any one who has at
tended the meetings to pass the
department of commerce examin-
ations for a pilots license.
The subjects to be covered are
navigation, meteorology, aeredy-
namics, engines, rigging, and de-
partment of commerce regulations.
Besides the data and information
gathered by the instructor, the
club has purchased books and
magazines that will make it pos
sible for anyone so inclined to go
as deeply into any subject as
they desire.
1t is also hoped that enough in
terest in gliders IA be aroused
so that a glider club can also be
formed and a glider purchased.
Gliders are fast becoming a ma
tional outdoor sport. If you can
get off the ground in a glider
you can get a third class license;
add a few curves and you become
a second class glider pilot; stay
up five minutes and you are ready
for a first class license. All that
is needed to form a glider club
is a few people who will build
or buy a glider, and a hill. 1t is
hard to find a sport in which so
much is offered at so small risk.
This article is published for the
purpose of clearing up some
things about the nature of the
club that are not clearly under
stood by many local people.
Whether or not you + interest
ed in taking up actual flying
makes no difference, you are new
ertheless cordially invited to at
tend the meetings and see what
the club is doing to promote in
terest in aviation in this terri
tory

Why did the 1929 legislature
submit these two referenda to
the voters in the 1880 election?
Because
0)-The present fiscal condi-
ton of Montana is in vital need
of the serious and intensive study
of every loyal and intelligent cit
izen of the state. Note
(a)-the present registered war
rant Indebtedness of Montana is
approximately $500, 100000.
b)-limitations placed on levy
ing taxes for state support (Con-
stitution, Art. XII, section 9, and
Laws of 1919, Chapter SD
(2)-Expiration in 1890 of the
IL mill initiative passed in 1920,
and results.
(3)-Housing needs Of state in
situations both non-university and
university.
(4)-Responsibility rests wholly
the voters of Montana.
The referenda submitted by the
1929 legislature to the 1880 vot-
ers of Montana necessitate an in
-ensive campaign of information,
ID relative to the housing needs
IN the various state institutions,
University and non-university, and
~ relative to financing the State
If Montana. There is a rapidly
growing population in the state
Institutions that has no housing

and proper institutional care.
These needs must be made known
and studied in order that Mon
tanans may meet their patriotic
and humane obligations. The in-
formation will be submitted in de-
tail through the press Of the
state and in public discussions
in the course of the 1890 am
paign.
In the year 1928 the state tax
for general fund purposes was
az mills. On December 81, 1880
this tax will automatically become
2h mills unless the referendum
provided by Chapter 1873 of the
1923 Session Laws Is passed at
the autumn election of 1880. It
may be well to remind ourselves
that the last session Of the legis-
lature appropriated $1,074,430.00
for the support of the work at
the six teaching units Of the
Greater University and the work
Of the Experiment Stations and
Extension Service. This mount
of money is equal to the income
of a 2R mill levy on the taxable
value of 192S-s42S, 381, 209. 90. The
proposed 8 mill levy named in
Chapter 1873 of the 1929 Session
laws would add practically "
mill for the support of the rap
idly growing service demanded
by Montanans of their Greater
University, composed of six teach
ing units and the Agricultural
Experiment Station and Extension
Service, u twenty-seven schools,
colleges and divisions. Surely, a
small additional provision for the
next ten year period.
In passing to a discussion Of
the referendum s it may
be we'll to remind ourselves that
the members of the legisture faced
two definite and imperative re
strictions relative to taxing real
pCioOhdi plOPCl ~ III HioiiIdId~
Article XII, Sec. 8 of the Con-
stitution reads as follows:
1.-THE rate of taxation on real
property for state purposes, ex-
cept as hereinafter provided, shall
never exceed two and one-half
mills on each dollar of valuation; y
and whenever the taxable propT
erty of the state shall amount
to six hundred million dollars
($600, 900, 000.00) the rate shall
never exceed two (2) minis on
each dollar of valuation, unless
the proposition to increase such
rate, specifying the rate proposed
and the time during which the
rate shall be levied shall have
been submitted to the people at
the general election and shall
have received a majority of all
cast for and against it at
such election"
Also statute known as the
old~SolllCdIlOu Law pdSStQ AZ
1919 automatically reduces the as
Sessed value Of real and personal
property in Montana to approx
31% for taxable purposes.
With these two limitations Of the
Constitution, Article XII, Section
and the Classification Law OF
1919 positively limiting and g
,tricting legislative power with
'eference to raising revenue from
PERSONAL and real property tax,
efforts were made to in
