THE FORESTRY HIGHWAY MONEY
lGreaf Falls Trihunel

THE news columns announce an a1ocation OF
1 1919 900 Of forestry money to the state OF
Montana These funds come out OF the regular
appropriation available for construction III the
fiscal year beginning July l. 1881 In addition TO
the regular funds for the present season, Mon
tana received an allotment Of $259,OOO OF for
estrv highway funds out OF the special unem-
ploymemt appropriation made by the last con-
oress. Therefore the total amount OF money Tor
construction in the national forests for the pres
ent season is something more than million dol
liars. Both of these appropriations on the part
of the federal government have already been
allotted to national forest highway projects by
Joint agreement through conference on the part
of the state highway commission, the bureau OF
public roads and the forestry service, as pro
yided III the federal statute governing such ex-
penditure
This is all 100 percent government money
and does not require the matching OF state funds.
Tt is to be distinguished clearly from the federal
aid money which comes through another appro-
prlation.
This state now enjoys something more than
$8OOO0O a year for the construction of forestry
highways; whereas it only received little above
100000 a few years ago The increase came
about through the earnest solicitation on tlb
part of the Western Association OF State High
way Officials, who as early as 1927, began to
call attention to the fact that the government
was not building the roads through its own for
est property as rapidly as the government anc

TO CURB CRIME

FRIENDS BLAME
BARTON SUICIDE
ON LOVE AFFAIR

NEW YORK, May 81. U.P)-The
cynical Broadway which accepted a
youthful Kansas City boy as tall
ented caricaturist and cartooniSt
nearly score of years ago, today
lived up to the predictions of Ralph
Barton in his obituary, and had
many hypothesis to explain his
suicide.
Everyone who knows me and
hears of this" Barton wrote just
before he placed .25 calibre auto
matte pistol to his temple and ended
his life, will have different hy-
pothesis to offer to explain why I
did it. Practically all of the hy-
potheses will be dramatic and COM
pletely wrong
He said that no one thing and
no person, except myself" were
responsible for his suicide. IF
gossip insists upon something more
definite and thrilling as reason,
let them choose my pending ap-
pointment with my dentist or the
fact that happened to be painfully
short of cash at the moment"
But, as he predicted, his many
friends brushed aside the reasons
he offered for his suicide and proba-
bly, the most prevalent rumor today
was that Barton shot himself in his
midtown penthouse because he had
failed to win the love of Ruth
Kresge, daughter of Sebastian S.
Kresge of Detroit, millionaire chain
store owner.
Another suicide theory was that
Barton still loved Carlotta Monte
rey, who divorced him five years
ago and later became the third
wife of Eugene O'Neill, the play
wright. Barton himself wrote in his
obituary that he had definitely
lost the only woman I ever loved"
He said that she was the one per-
son who could have saved him,
had been saveable."
Barton had been married and di-
vorced four times.
