ATTEMPTS TO BUY
PARK HOMES
FEDERAL AGENT FINDS HIS JOB
GROWING MORE DIFFICULT
IN GLACIER PARK

E. C. Solinsky Of San Francisco,
real estate buyer for the government,
has arrived at Bolton and started
work in keeping with the govern
ment's policy Of acquiring all private
property In the park.
Mr.. Solinsky spent the first week
looking over the situation and confer
ring with a few property owners at the
foot Of Lake Mcdonald, but no deals
have been closed yet. Condemnation
proceedings have been threatened.
Mr.. Solinsky faces a tougher job
in buying this year than last, for last
year he dealt, for the most part, with
owners wishing to sell. This year he
deals with people, who, for the most
part, much prefer not to sell. Home
and summer home owners generally
feel that it is right for the govern
ment to own and control all property
in the park, but that the considera-
ton will have to be high to remove
them from their property.
Mr.. Solinsky stated that nothing
west of Lake Mcdonald creek, includ-
ing all west lake shore property, will
be touched this year. The summer
homes of w. T. Greeley, j. w. Sher-
wood, j. N. Thelan, DR.. Charles F.
Coulter, all of Great Falls. and Mrs.
Russell of Los Angeles, and others, are
on this shore.
Home owners at the foot Of the lake
on the land Mr.. Solinsky is now trying
to acquire are Mrs. Jessie Apgar-Hay-
worth, D. L. Greenwalt, William Sibley
and others. Among the owners of
summer homes and lake shore lots for
summer homes are Gov. j. E. Erick-
son, Col. Raymond S. Pratt of Wash
ington, D. c., julius Coos Of st. Paul
and Charles A. Smith of Harlem. The
latter owns the lot with the birch tree
made famous by T. j. Hileman's, Kali
ispell, beautiful picture of it and the
lake.
The removal of Lake Mcdonald lake
shore cabins sold to the government
last year to other lakes of the section
has begun. The picturesque cabin
which was the home Of Charley Howes
was torn down and erected at Half
Moon lake, n and q half miles south
OF Bolton on the new section OF Belton-
Bedrock highway now nearing compile
ton. This cabin, along with the Harry
Keith cabin occupied several years by
the Asa Powell family, was purchased
from the park by d. L. Greenwalt, who
had them. both erected on his new
location on the new highway where
he expects to operate q tourist camp
and service station next summer.
Two more cabins from the foot of
the lake, one OF them an old landmark,

MAGAZINE GIVES
MONTANA PRAISE
HILL COUNTY PAID COMPLIMENT
ON DEBT PLAN BY COUNTRY
GENTLEMAN

Hill county's debt retiring policy
Is held up to the world as an example
worthy Of following in the August is
sue Of the Country Gentleman" In
the magazines lead editorial on "Op-
prcSsive Taxation" on the subject Of
h tremendous increase of taxation
In the past quarter Of a century, GER
tain policies making for lower taxes
are discussed.
1t is in connection with these poll
cies that Hill county comes in for
mention. The general good effect OF
the Montana law compelling a levy to
retire bonded indebtedness comes in
for much praise. The portion of the
editorial referring to Hill county and
Montana reads as follows.
This situation al be cured only by
certain definite policies. One is to quit
electing or otherwise encouraging the
tax spendthrift, bureaucracy-minded
type of individual. Another is for
every person to put each taxing pro-
posal to the test of whether he him.
self can afford it, for he can be sure
that some OF this cost will be passed
along to him. And a third-which has
the virtue of being successfully tried in
one state-is to compel the setting up
of sinking funds to retire all bond is
sues by the time they fall due.
This plan is in effect in Montana.
AS a result many of the counties are
retiring their bonded indebtedness
ahead of maturity, thus saving the
taxpayers the cost of continued inter-
est.
Its fruits are cited by an official
of Hill county. In 1921 the bonded
debt Of the county was about 81 ,183, 900
with an annual interest charge of
around $50, 900. The debt has been
reduced to 1928, 900 and the annual
interest charge to $16,0 OO. None of the
bonds retired through the sinking fund
were due before 1885 and some of them
ran to 1910, SO the taxpayers will re-
alize an accruing saving
THE compulsory sinking fund law
has helped to wipe out old debts and
reformed wasteful practices of the past.
An instance is related by an official of
ChOuteau county. After nearly 48
years the Chouteau county court house
now belongs to the county, the last
bonds against it being retired. This is
a long period over which to defray
bond interest. But in times past it was
easier to make a refunding bond issue
that it was to make the proper levy
to retire them. And, no doubt, many
times money intended for that purpose
was used for other objects before the
time came to retire them, SO that fixed
have been handed down
from one set of officials to another.
The present law makes that impossible.
Without doubt it has done more for
counties and cities than any other law
enacted. as it will now only be a ques-
ton of time until we have our debts
cleared away
THE best proof of the efficacy of
such a policy is that nc less than "a
Montana counties have made conspicu-
Gus reductions in their bonded indebt-
edness, to the relief of their taxpayers"

BIG HORN AREA GETS AID
FROM SHOSHONE WATER

Water is being released daily from
the ShoShone federal irrigation project
to the Big Horn river for use by the
Two-Leggins Water Users association,
the Big Horn Line Ditch company and
the town of Hardin, according TO w. j.
Burke, district council Of the United
States reclamation service. Ample
water in the vicinity Of Powell, Wyo.,
has made 1t possible for the emergency
measure to be put into effect. Water
is being supplied for both stock and
domestic purposes from the project, MI.
Burke said. AS long as water is re-
quired it will be provided from the h-
rigation project provided that 1t does
not imperil the supply for irrigation
purposes on the Shoshone project. The
aid was extended through the authority
of the secretary Of the interior.

FANNY MAY BE
HEROINE OF PARK
DEER HAS ESTABLISHED HERSELF
QUEEN OF GLACIER PARK
WILD ANIMALS

BY leading the rescue Of one Of her
offspring, Fanny has established her
self as heroine and intelligence queen
Of Glacier National park animals.
Fanny is the tame deer that has
been photographed, petted and fed by
tourists for several years at Lake Nc
Donald hotel.
Each summer for many seasons Fan
ny has appeared with two fawns, de-
livering herself and young ones into
voluntary Imprisonment within the no.
tel corral.
But this summer Fanny returned
from the woods with only one fawn.
No sooner had she brought her lone
fawn to the corral than she turned
hoof and ran back into the woods.
Day after day the mother returned
and fed her young. Then she would
stamp around and snort and depart.
Blamed If she's not trying to tell
us something" said Nick Acuri, hotel
gardener.
Next morning she came back and
fed her fawn, then ran up to the a r
dener and repeated her strange antics
OF jumping around and making odd
sounds. The gardener decided to fol-
low her. Fanny showed unmistakable
glee. She loped ahead into the woods,
turning around every few feet, snort
ing, prancing and waiting for Nick
Acuri to catch up.
At last she led him to her secret
another fawn, hopelessly entangled In
wire. The mother had kept it alive
and strong by her daily nursing VS.
itations. The gardener extricated the
young deer.
