Both these kids worked in the

when the show was in re-

on the road and decided to
take a small apartment in

For some four months, Beth
and Alice shared the same
sleeping quarters. Each knew
everything the other did. And
they both spilled plenty that

Beth was seated in the booth

How About a Raise
Recently, for the first time
in his brief career, a young
singer received a break in the

hard to get somewhere. And
finally, while playing a benefit

HIGHWAY NORTH OF
MEDICINE LAKE WILL
BE Completed SOON
ENTIRH PLENTYW0OD Gull
BERTSON ROAD COMPLETION
APPEARS POSSIBLE

The Montana State Highway
Commission is this week calling for
bids fer ~gravelling the twelve mile
stretch of graded highway from Me-
dieine Lake north. The bids will be
received by the commission until
$50 a. M, Wednesday, August "A,
and it is believed that the actual
work will commence shortly there
after.
The commission requires that the
successful hlader for this project
pay a minimum wage rate of fifty
cents per hour for unskilled labor,
and for the lowest classification Of
skilled labor, with higher minimum
wage rates for the higher cIassifi-
cation Of skilled labor.
The completion Of the unimproved
stretches between Plentywood and
Culbertson are also expected locally
to be completed this fall, although
bids for this work have not as yet
been asked. The project completion
has been dependent upon securing
the necessary r~ight4of-way, and it
now appears that this will be ac-
cQmplished soon. At a hearing held
here Saturday, Judge Paul appoint
Ell a set OF commissioners, Archie
Mann, w. D. Dooley, and G. F. Me
Nulty, DO hold a later meeting for
the purpose of hearing claims of
property owners with the view of
Strengthening up all claims. These
commissioners will hold this meet
ing Friday, September 2, and part
fes interested will present their
claims at that time. Should all
right-of-way claims be Strengthened
at that time, the highway commits
sion can then call for bids, possibly
to be let on September 20. and the
+ adwerk completed this fall should
the weather remain favorable.

COUNTY budget IS
Lowered ALTHOUGH
LEVY IS INCREASED
S25s,OOO BUDGET IS DECREASE
In 1881 FIGURE OF
xI4,37O

The board Of county commission
ers, in regular session August /,
approved the county budgets for the
coming year, with a reduction OF
$14,37O over last years figures. The
1892 budgets total $258,10 while
the 1891 figure was $272,470.
Although the tax levy was in
creased to 62 mills, from COTS mills
last year, the budget figure is low
er this year because the taxable
valuation of the county has been
reduced by nearly half a million
dollars. The 1891 valuation was
SIS, 1862, 1872, compared with the pres
ent valuation Of $5,400,0 900.
A week previous to the meeting
at which the budgets were approved,
a dszen members of the taxpayers
association met with the commits
sioners and made a study of all lev
los, together with recommendations
for lowering them. The association
suggested that a ten percent reduc-
tion be made in all budgets of the
county, but it was found impossible
to do 10 in certain items. Reductions
were made wherever possible.
The attempted reduction in the
sinking fund levy could not be car
ried out because of bonds falling
due this year. Requirements by law
led to the anticipation of a consid-
cradle increase in the sinking fund
levy, but very little increase was
made. Last year the levy for closed
banks and sinking fund were IL
mills The same total levy for these
two items is in effect this year, but
they are differently divided.
A special relief fund of $5,40C
was approved. There was no RELIEF
fund hast year.
BY levies the funds are as fol
lows: General IL mills, poor 5
bridge 2, bond interest 5, bond sink
ing 7, library "a, gophr VI, warrant
redemption 2, special relief /, high
school IL, general school 6, and
closed banks 9. The approved bud.
gets are outlined below, also show

Illinois Coal Fields Are in Very Turbulent State

 Trouble Any Moment

Springfield. III, Aug 1S-(UP)- National guardsmen were ordered held ready for action to-day in the turbulent Illinois coal fields, espe- cially at Taylorville where 1,5O0 "minutemen" barricaded all roads against 1000 picketing miners who threatened to reach there at noon.
 The first serious bloodshed of the present trouble came with the staying of Joe Colbert, leader of miners protesting tower wage scale agreement. He was shot down at his home in Orient.
 Adjutant General Carlos E.. Black, fearing the projected inva- sion of Christian county by the A. 900 picketes will result inevitably in violence, ordered the 33rd Divi- sion, the Illinois National Guard. to stand by at Camp Grant.
 Orders were given railroads to be ready to transport the men to Carbondale and Taylorville on an hours notice. A cavalry unit and eight planes attached to the divi- sion were held ready.
 The march of pickets scheduled to start from here is planned as a peaceful invasion. Men were
