WAS FINE EXAMPLE
OF COMMUNITY SPIRIT

A fine example Of the good work
citizens can do when they unite in
public improvement was given last
week when the citizens living along the
south end of Utah avenue joined in
improving that thoroughfare The three
south blocks Of this avenue had never
been thoroughly graded. One or two
of the citizens, in conference with
Mayor Switzer, worked out plan
whereby. Mr.. Switzer offered to have
the city pay for the use of the heavy
grading outfit and the men operating
it If the property owners along the
avenue would donate their services for
what other work would be necessary
All of the citizens responded heartily
to the plan, number of the members
of the First Lutheran church joined
in the good work and there were even
men who donated their labor As the
result of their labors, the steet is now
a fine wide avenue, we'll graded and
will be even better after little more
working and smoothing up.
This was such a fine example Of
community cooperation that we asked
one Of the interested property owners
to give us list of all those who jointed
in the work, and the following is the
names submitted. If any name is omit
ted it is merely an oversight as the
list was compiled from memory The
honor roll follows:
Jack Wyatt Jim Brown, Dewey

ALSO UNDER BAN

HELENA, April 4.-Montanas state
fish and game department has made
possible the payment of a bounty of SIS
on every mountain lion and wolf killed
ter April l, 1882, until further order of
the commission. During heavy SHOWS
of the last winter, many deer and elk
fell victims of these predatory animals,
and in an effort y aid in Kidding the
country of them, the bounty has been
offered by the department At the last
meeting of the commission the forrnu-
latIng of regulations to govern pay
ment of the bounty was left to Robert
r. Hill, state fish and game warden
These regulations We're today an
nounced by Warden Hill

'sTThe state fish and game warden,

Salaries Can
Only Be Lowered
By State Law
Legislature Has Sole Control of
Amounts Paid County
Officials.

A rather peculiar condition of at
fairs in some parts of the state has
called forth ruling by the attorney
general, regarding the much debated
subject of salaries paid county Off
Gals 1t appears that some candidates
for public office have announced that
If elected to office they will serve for
a salary less than that allowed by law
Those announcements have caused the
attorney general to publish statement
to the effect that such announcements
of voluntary salary cuts by candidates is
a violation of the corrupt practice act,
inasmuch as 1t Ia in effect the offer
ing of a money consideration to the
public for their votes.
This matter brings up the oft con-
sidered question of reducing the sal
aries of county and other public Off
cials. Some are contending that these
salaries should be reduced at once
by order Of the county commissioners;
others argue that officials ought vol
unfairly to take cuts in their salaries.
For the information of the public it
should be stated that the salaries Of
state and county officials are estab-
lished BY act of the state legislature
and the county commissioners have no
power to lower county salaries. even
if they desired to do so II salaries are
lowered it must be done by an act Of
the legislature, and that rs the ur1fy-
way they can be legally lowered.
For the further information of the
public we publish below the list Of
the salaries paid Lincoln county Off
Gals, being salaries paid to officials
in counties of the sixth class:
