in part:
According to an official of a prom

FALLS GAS RATE
REDUCED AGAIN
GREAT FALLS GAS COMPANY CUTS
RATES WHEN NEW TARIFFS
WERE APPROVED

Great Falls will receive a reduction
in its natural gas rates as a result
of new tariffs which were approved
recently by the public service COM
mission. This Is the second reduction
in the last six months for the COM
mission approved rates last Aug. l.
Ninety-six per cent of the gas con-
sumerS in Great Falls will fall within
the first 100000 cubic feet per month
rate. The reduction on the first 5000
cubic feet is 3.7 per cent, on the next
$4,000 cubic feet, 10 per cent or an
average of 9.58 per cent on each thou
sand cubic feet of gas for the first
10000 cubic feet.
Reductions in the wholesale rate run
from IL per cent to 20 per cent.
With a letter of transmittal, Will
liam A. Baehr, president of the Great
Falls Gas company, writes:
I'VE have secured modification of
our contract to purchase gas from the
Montana Cities Gas company and are
thereby enabled to reduce our gas rates
in Great Falls; we could not make the
reduction we are making without the
new contract with the pipe line COM
pany, and furthermore, we feel that
these rates should get us all the gas
business in Great Falls"

vides required information regarding
the deer. Possession of an untagged
carcass is a violation of law.
The California tagging system is
similar to that of Nevada. According
to a letter received from conservation
headquarters of that state approx
mately 10000 licenses have been sold
each year since the tag system went
into effect. For the season just closed
returns were received showing a total
kill of 24,131. California permits the
killing Of two deer and the law re-
quires that the tag shall be attached
to the horns of the deer Immediately
after it is killed. The postcard report
must be made at the close of the sea-
son.
In Wisconsin, If a person wishes to
hunt deer he must first purchase a
hunting license and then buy a deer
tag which must be carried in possession
when hunting. The deer tag CORE
spends to the number on the license
and must be placed on the carcass i'm
mediately after the kill. During 1880
the Wisconsin commission placed 3d.
900 deer tags and 100000 hunting
licenses in the hands of dealers, this
being the average annual sale.
Arthur L. Grover, deputy commits
sioner of Inland Fisheries and Game
of the state of Maine, writes that the
deer tagging system results in materi-
al conservation of the herds. The laws
of Maine were revised last year to
permit use of the coupon on the IL
cense in addition to the tagging. In
spection stations are located on main
highways during the hunting season
and drivers must stop for inspection
Of their kill on signal from a deputy
game warden.
Deer are not permitted shipped out
side the state Of Maine and if desired
transported within the state, the tag,
costing 81, must be attached. Another
section of the Maine laws provides that
no lumber camps, house or other build
ing used in numbering shall have
in possession at any time at the camp
or serve to any employee any deer or
moose. No hunting is allowed on Sun
day, whether for birds or game. The
use OF lights or hunting from an auto

MAN ARRESTED

Efforts of federal prohibition de-

liquors, resulted in the seizure of a
distilling plant near Lewistown re-

L. Smith, federal agent.
The plant, it was stated, was To-

Lewistown and a 30-gallon still, rs gal
Ions of mash and 8 gallons of whisky
were seized.
Fred Brockman, according to the
agent, was charged with possession of
liquor and possession OF implements
designed for manufacture Of intoxi-
cants.
The plant was the 14th uncovered
by Agents Smith and Orville Jones
since they were assigned to the Great
Falls district last November. Most of
the stills were found in Cascade coun-
ty, several being located in Great Falls.

makes it mandatory that the holder
of the license fill out this postcard
showing the sex of the deer killed,
fawn or bear, the county, where it
was killed and the dates.
One Of the most interesting of the
collection of deer tags is that produced
by the New York department of con-
servation. The buff colored license is
printed on cloth CLOSED with paper
and is about IL inches long and four
inches wide, covering the tags, return
check, the license proper and the stub.
c. E. Underhill, deputy chief warden
writes that the system has been of
vital Importance to the department,
in that it Immediately identifies a deer
as legal or illegal while the reports
made to the department give a correct
check of deer taken in every county
each season by legal license holders.
Problems of scarcity or ov~er-grazing
may be met when these figures are
known. The law requires that the re-
turn coupon be mailed to the state de-
partment not later than November 20
Immediately following the close of the
season, telling the sex of the deer,
condition, county in which killed, num-
Der of points on horns and the name
and address of the hunter. In New
York four tags are supplied, one tag
being designated for each quarter of
the deer and all bearing the license
number. Each tag likewise bears the
name and address of the license holder
and is labeled with the designation of
the quarter to which it must be at
tached. If the hunter holding this
license is found with a quarter of deer
not properly tagged, it is visible evil
dence that the deer has been Illegally
taken and prosecution follows.
The Nevada system provides for the
issuance of three joined tags, each
the size of ordinary shipping tags,
printed on heavy cardboard. The stub
retained by the dealer is attached to
the license proper giving the descrip-
ton of the hunter and then is at
tached the tag equipped with a metal
eye. This tag must be attached to
the deer when killed and remain on
the carcass. When countersigned by
a game warden the tag is authority to
ship. The return postcard, which must
be sent to the state department, pro-

game states of the
union has stressed the
fact that as long as big
game remains there will
be poachers and law vio-
lators and as long as
these miscreants are &C
tive, the methods of pro-
tecting and preserving
big game must be made
more efficient and strict,
according to a feature
article prepared for the
February edition of Mon
tana Wild Life which will
soon be off the press. AS
an aid to protecting. the
game, shielding the in
terests of the legal hunt
err and aid in law en-
forcement regarding the
taking of elk and deer,
the tagging system adop-
ted by many states has
proven unusually effec-
tive. Hence, the adop-
ton of the system has
been recommended by the
state legislature by unan-
imous vote of the Mon
tana S~portsmens' associ-
alton.
For the information of
Montana big game hunt
ers, the State Fish and
6 e commission has
made a survey of meth
DDS in use in other states
and the perusal of in
formation secured is vi
tally interesting. Such
states as Minnesota, New
York, Wisconsin, Maine,
Nevada, California and
other regions where big
game abound have adop-
ted the tagging system
such as is proposed in
Montana.
One of the most inter-
esting of the collection is
the system utilized in
Minnesota. George Nc
Cullough, Commissioner
of the Minnesota fish and
e department, ex-
plains that the system
has resulted in the con-
servation of deer. A sep
arate big game license is
required. With it goes a
metal self-locking seal
such as is used on box
cars bearing the same
number as that of the
license. The license itself
is divided into three parts
which, when folded make
it the size of a postcard.
At the right are three
tags, each of which is fit
ted with a metal eye,
which must be attached
to a deer hide, deer head
or the deer itself, when
shipped. These coupons
must be detached from
the main body Of the Ii
cense and attached to the
