ORIGIN OF STATE
NAMES REVEALED
EXPLANATION OF SOME MON
TANA NAMES; SOME ARE HIS
TORICAL PUZZLES

Finding the origin and meaning Of
some Montana names Is like trying
to solve the Magyar and Aztec riddles
Of migration. Some places are named
for men, generally In appreciation
Of some service, but what the first
names OF these men were Is what
presents the difficulty. Not infre-
quently five or six Christian names
will be suggested for an individual,
all of which cannot be accepted. II
the initial J Is given, there are sew
eral possibilities as to what the let
ter stands for and sometimes there
will be supporters for each z
ton.
Mitchell gulch.-Received its name
in 1865 from j. j. Doyle, who discov-
cred gold there and named it after
j. F. Mitchell, q partner.
Mount Everts.-In Yellowstone park,

Truman c. Everts, of Helena, a mem
Der of the Washburn exploring party
in 1870. Mr.. Everts had a most adj
venturous time with this exploring
party, for he became separated from
his party and was not seen again for
81 days. When he was found he
showed the physical effects of his hard
ship. His horse had run away the
second day with his entire outfit.
New Chicago.-At one time had
hopes of becoming a big city. This
was in 1872, before the days of the
dynamic reputation of it's name

OvandO.-The name of this town in
the Blackfoot valley was given in 1885,
by Ovando Hoyt, postmaster.
HerrOn.-The name for this town Is
taken from a fish resembling a her.
ring, caught in the vicinity long ago
The name, herring, went through sew
eral changes and eventually became
Heron, the name for a creek anc
later the name for the town.
JOckO creek.-In a previous article II
was said Jocko creek was named after
Jackues Finley, which is correct; one
account Of this creek gives the Indi.
an name as Nlka.
Quigley.-A ghost town in Rock creel
valley, was founded in the COS. It.
name was taken from a man by thai
name.
Salesville. Named after z. Sales.

Fort Claggett.-For whom this fort
was named is not certain. since there

inquiries as to the existence Of such
a place were not satisfactorily an

now to support the affirmative. An

go, and Ralph Chisholm, Willmar,
Mimi, was adjourned Friday morning
to allow counsel for the defense and

that dummy notes to the amount Of
between $4,000 and 5 5000 were car
ried in the assets of the institution.
Additional records of the bank were
examined in the preparing of the
stipulations.
Attorneys expressed the opinion
that the taking of testimony would
be resumed Friday afternoon and the
hearing would end late Saturday.

.CASS FARM VALUE
TO Be DECREASED
20 Per Cent Reduction Ordered:
May Not Affect Taxes
Any, However

Fargo, April 11.-PeAssessed val
uation Of farm lands in CaSs county
will be decreased 20 per cent this
year, 1t was announced by township,
village and city assessors who met
here Friday.
A corresponding drop in taxes will
no. necessarily follow the assessment
slash, it was pointed out by liver A.
Acker, state tax commissioner and F.
F. Doherty, Cass county auditor.
First the county board of equali-
cation and the state board must pass
on the figures set by the assessors.
If the cut is allowed to stand and the
cuts are allowed throughout the
state, the action would be meaning
less, but II other counties remain at
present levels, the amount contribut-
ed to the state taxes by Cass county
would be cut by approximately that
amount.
On the other hand, If the city val
uations remain at their present levels
In Cass county, the relative amount
contributed by that class of property
to county taxes will be materially in
creased and that OF the farm lands
decreased.
