Helena, June 6 (AP)-This week
Montana's delegates to the Republl-
can National convention r start
ing, by rail or auto, toward Chi
cago where they will participate,
beginning June IA, in the deliber-
ations that will result in selection
of presidential and vice p%residen-
tial candidates and the draft of a
party platform.
Delegates to the Democratic
convention will be making the same
pilgrimage two weeks later. Their
convention begins June q.
In the Republican convention,
Montana has eleven votes, and is
represented by that number OF
delegates and an equal number OF
alternates, selected at the state
convention last month.
Being a convention delegate from
Montana is rather 9 labor of love
While the state law providing for
selection of delegates provides that
they may be allowed 5000 each fo1
their expenses, no legislature ever
has made an appropriation for that

purpose and each delegate faces
the certainty of expending between
$500 and $500 for the privilege of
representing his party.
The privilege also is restricted
in other ways. The Republican
delegates are bound by their state
convention to support President
Hoover as the party's standard
bearer. They also we're pledged to
support a national referendum on
prohibition and to propose, intro
duce, advocate and vote for" a
plank providing for duties on cop
per, lumber and crude oil, and to

just about a year ago today,
Engineer H. E. Mitchell Of the
bureau of public roads arrived in
Red Lodge with a survey crew to
begin stalking out the Unit A
contract of the Red Lodge-Cooke
road. Since that time the Rock
Greek canyon landscape near Quad
creek has seen some remarkable
changes.
At this time last year there were
few signs of life above Richel
lodge. The cabins of M. E. Mar
tin and F. /. Johnson's pack sta
ton were the only structures at
the end of a rough tote road ex-
tending from Richel's to the jump

Hellroaring creek-the starting
point of the Highline and Sliderock
trails.
A settlement is now located

PROMINENT RANCH
OWNER OF COUNTY
DIES in The EAST
Malcolm MacKay Was Well
Known Character in
This Region

Malcolm S. Mckay, landholder,
broker, rancher, hunter and writer,
died Friday, June 8. at his Tenafly
On. j. home. News of his death
was received early this week by
George Wright, foreman of the
large MacKay ranch near Roscoe.
Mr.. MacKay was to have come west
this month on his annual summer
visit in this region.
For 80 years he had been a well
known character in this region.
Visiting Red Lodge for the first
time in June, 1901, on a western
trip for his health, he returned
at intervals, and later became own
err of the largest ranch in Carbon
county. In the years between 1901
and 1915, MacKay made hunting
and exploration expeditions in
Montana, Colorado and Alaska,
with his friend George Hoffman of
New York and Horace Mullendore
of the Rosebud region.
In 1906 he made his first land
purchase in the county-a frag-
ment of the eBarcreek coal field
which he later sold. 1t was in
1907 that he purchased 1853 acres
of grazing land situated between
the two Rosebud creeks, and it
was to that nucleus that he added
acreage until his was the largest
holding in the county. In Carbon
county he paid taxes on 1852 acres
of land.
His father was at one time pres
ident of the New York stock ex-
change, and Malcolm MacKay is
said to have held a seat on the ex-
change.
While on a summer visit to this
country, he married Miss Helen
Raynor, a niece Of the late Charles
Wright, who was q close friend of
MacKay's. To this marriage were
born three sons and a daughter,
who, with their mother, survive
him.
1t was to his children, "Bud, Pete,
Bill and Mary-E Elem that he ded-
icated a book, written of his ex-

VOLUNTEER FIRE
WARDENS NAMED
Thirteen Forest Vigilantes

Thirteen men of the Beartooth
area have been selected as volun-
teer fire wardens by the state de-
partment of the National Forest
service.

from the Custer forest district was
received at the Billings district
office last week from Ruthledge

per, all of Red Lodge; R. B. Thur

camp; Milton Waters Of Luther; and
John Branger of Roscoe. A.. H.
Croonquist of Red Lodge will serve

forests. Everyone who serves as
a volunteer warden has as his duty
the reporting of fires to rangers,
and the reprimanding of often
ders against the fire laws. In ex-
IRENE cases, volunteer wardens
have power to arrest anyone per-
petrating an abuse of the forest
lands.
The list of Beartooth volunteers
was compiled by Robert Gray,
ranger at the Rock Greek station,
with the aid of Billings forest of
ficials.

TAX COLLECTIONS
THIS SPRING ARE
LESS THAN in 1881
Returns Are Favorable in
View of Times; Lower
Taxes in Sight

Collections of the second install
ment of 1881 tax payments totalled
$183, 110.79, said George McDon-
aid, county treasurer, this week.
This amount, in consideration of
the times, compares well with the
amount of non-delinquent payments
collected last year.
When the second installment Of
the 1880 taxes became delinquent
last spring, $189, O45.61 had been
received-only s5,934.82 more than
was received this spring.
Fourteen per cent of the first
installment of 1881 taxes, which
were due last December, became
delinquent. The treasurer will be-
gin next week to write up the fl
nal delinquent list.
Helena, June 8-(AP)-While
the Montana taxpayer feels hard
pressed for funds to meet this OBJ
legation, the situation has been
worse in comparison of amounts
levied.
Tax levies made by the state,
counties, schools, cities and towns
for all purpoes in 1881 were more
than $1,500,O0 smaller than for
1880 and a still further cut is in
prospect for the 1882 levy.
| Here's how it all occurred, as
detailed by James H. Stewart,
chairman of the state tax board:
Takes levied in Montana for all
purposes, counties, schools, cities
and towns and the state totaled
$28, 100000 in 1881 and were $780,
167, 900 in 1890. The reduction is
about 81, 100000 State, county,
school and municipal officials have
the balance sheets out and, in all
probability, there will be a fur
Their reduction for the present year.
In 1928, taxes levied for all pur-
poses were estimated at $27,991,-
TAO, which is some 100000 less
than in 1881. This difference is
due to increased levies for ARE of
the poor, $846,631 being levied for
that purpose in 1923, compared
with $1y582,274 in 1881.
"Perhaps this will come as a
surprise to most taxpayers who
have read of the mounting bur
den of taxation. On the whole,
property taxes have remained about
the same in Montana for the last
decade"
