Helena, May 18-(AP)- Mon
tana farmers pay q much smaller
percentage of the total property
tax today than they paid eight
years ago, according to the state
board of equalization. In 1923, ir-
rigated and non-irrigated agricul-
tural lands were assessed at 25.3
per cent of the taxable value of the
state. BY 1881, the property tax
burden on such lands was but 20-2
per cent of taxable values. Since
the state board already has reduc-
ed assessments in II counties this
year to the extent Of more than
$25, 00O, 900, a further cut in per-
centage of taxes paid by farmers
is certain.
@~Irrigated lands were assessed
in Montana in 1923 at $83,447,433
and in 1881 at 1854, 541, a re-
duction of more than 2 0,0O0, 000,"
says Judge John j. Green, a mem
Der of the board. 1.-THE reduction
in the assessed value of non-irri-
gated tillable lands in the same
period was much greater, from
1910, SAC, los in 1923 to ~$213,529,-
203 in 1881, a reduction of more
than $4,000, 900. Reductions for
1882, made as a result of hearings
held by the board, will bring asses
sed land values much nearer to the
true value. For example, non-irri-
gated tillable lands in Hill county
were assessed at $11,542, 1892 in
1880. After Investigation the state
board reduced the assessment to
$9,811 ,543 in 1892. Yellowstone
county non-irrigated lands were
reduced from $7,336,399 in 1880 to
$3,902, 1886 in 1882. In Sweet Grass
county the reduction was from &c.
232, 787 to $1,518,295. This year,
as in all even years, county asses
sors do not have the power to re-
duce assessments, and reductions

NEW WELL SHOWS
PRODUCTIVITY OF
DRY CREEK FIELD
Industrial No. 2 Flowing
80 Barrels an Hour;
Expect More

ANOTHER oil well joined
the ranks Of the produc-
ers in the Dry Greek field
this week, as the Montana
Industrial No. l of the Ohio
company began a heavy flow
and was hooked on to the
Bridger pipe line.
Yesterday this we'll was report
ed to be flowing so barrels an hour
thru a half-inch aperture in the
8-inch casing, the oil being the
uniform product that underlies the
field. Unweathered, its specific
gravity is said to be go. 1t is being
run thru the separator of the In
dustrial No. l, while gas is still es-
Gaping from the bore.
Several times during the drilling
of the we'll, gas pressure lifted the
casing and rotary mud. At the bot
tom of the we'll now, at $500 feet,
there is an estimated pressure Of
2200 pounds, which has been throt-
tied to 300 pounds at the top. When
the well has thoroly cleaned itself,
it is possible that the flow may
reach 100 barrels an hour.
The well found production in the
Pryor conglomerate layer, the drill
having been sunk thru the Dakota
frontier. Casing was set to a
depth of so feet in the oil sand,
estimated to 100 feet thick, to
guarantee an easy flow and long
lived we'll.
Meanwhile, the McMinn No. / of
the Carbon Oil and Gas company
is heading for a test of the second
Frontier test that will draw in
terest at the field. The Ohio car

PROPERTY TAX BURDEN LIGHTER ON
SHOULDERS OF FARMERS in MONTANA

have been brought about by the
action of the state board.
"While assessments against ag-
ricultural lands have been lowered,
assessments against public utili-
ties have been increased. In 1892
the assessed value Of public util-
tiles was 1898, $685. Az By 1881
assessments of utilities increased
to s313,570, 1888. The assessment of
agricultural lands has gone down;
the assessment of public utilities
has gone up. A clear-cut shift in
tax load is revealed. In 1923 irri-
gated and non-irrigated lands were
assessed at 25.3 per cent of the
taxable value of the state and in
1881 at but 20.2 per cent of taxable
values. On the other hand, public
utilities in 1923 were assessed at
24.3 per cent of the states taxable
value and in 1881 at 20 per cent.
Let me make the comparison even
more clear: In 1923, irrigated and
non-irrigated lands were assessed
at $394,293,538 and public utilities
at $298,968,47 The agricultural
land was assessed at almost $780,
100000 more than the utilities. In
1881, however, irrigated and non
irrigated lands were assessed at
$277,070,7 44 and public utilities at
$313,570, 1888. The agricultural
land is now assessed $25, 000,0 00
less than the utilities"

R. |. PUPILS HAVE
ATHLETIC SESSION
Tony Klepich Outstanding
Contestant in Schools
Track Meet Here

More than 400 pupils Of the
Field, jefferson and Lincoln schools
at Red Lodge participated in the
track and field meet held Tuesday
on the high school field. Both boys
and girls of the first five grades
entered events.
Determination of the winning
school has been difficult, due to
the varying enrollments and the
classification of the pupils in
events. The Field school pupils
amassed the greatest number of
points, 231, while pupils of the
Lincoln school gathered 22214 and
the jefferson school 75h.
The Field school, however, has
the largest enrolment of the three
buildings, and the Jefferson school
has no fifth grade. Points earned
by fifth grade pupils of the Field
and Lincoln increased their build
ing totals. A computation of
points by percentages based on en-
rollments probably would show that
the Lincoln school placed first in
the meet.
Tony Klepich of the Lincoln
building had individual scoring hon
ors, winning first in five events
second in one, and third in one, to
earn a total of 20 points. Webster
Koski of the Field school was Sec
ond with rs points. Others in order
were Tony Zupan, Lincoln, %; Mel
Stacey, Field, 20; Donald Albert

DETROIT, July A. Manager Bucky Harris, who built a pen nant-winning baseball team for Washington out of old-timers, has changed his style.
 Today the Detroit Tigers, a con- sistent first division club this year despite early season predictions, are the youngest team in the ma- jors.
 In 1924 and 1925, when Harris put the Senators into first place in the American League, he relied on Roger Peckinpaugh, Joe Judge, Sam Rice, Walter Johnson, Tom Zachary and other veterans of the baseball profession. All that has been changed.
 Average 25 Years
 So marked is Bucy's preference for youth today that the Tigers, a team of youngsters, have an ay- craze of 25 years. The St. Louis Browns are the second youngest,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-07-14

with team average Of 26 years.
 When Harris brought his team to Navin Field to open the 1882 major league season here experts had the Tigers picked as a seventh place team. The early games did not change their opinions, but within few weeks the acquisition of the kid" of the Tiger regu- lars, Harry Davis, first sacker, made" the team
 Davis furnished the spark that has kept the club in the first di- vision and instantly became fa- vorite of the fans. He is only p years old.
 Youngsters Pack Punch
 It was Davis, with the other youngsters of the outfit, who put the punch in the Tiger squad. Gerald Walker, outfielder, whose hitting has kept him consistently among the ''big five" of the league, is only 23. Joyner "Jo-Jo' White, who alternated with Walker in oenterfield until injuries put him on the bench, is only few months older than the 23-year-old Davis.
 The dean of the regulars, ex- cluding the pitching squad, is the latest arrival, Earl Webb, right fielder, who is 32. The dean of the entire squad is George Uhle, veteran pitcher, who is 34. Whit low Wyatt, recruit hurler, is only 23.
 Win the Close Ones
 Despite their lack of stars and brilliancy, the Tigers have main- tained stubbornly a first division place most of the season, drop ping to the lower berths for only a few days at time. When they climbed into second place above the Athletics, Senators and Indians no one was more surprised and elated than Detroit's baseball fan dom.
 The Tigers margin of victory has not been large in the majority of games, and their pitching staff has not revealed any sensations, yet Bucky Harris predictions that his youngsters would stay up there" have been borne out for the majority of the season.

Ed Wray, whose St. Louis hos pitahty is as good his judgment of sporting things, favors a return to finish fights for the major fis- tic championships, by way of slim- mating the necessity of such ar guments as have grown out of the Sharkey- -Schmeling affair.
 Certainly, in this particular case, it would have very likely ended any douhiss about the outcome. The best ringside guess was that Shar- key would have been lucky to last five more rounds against the young German, who was coming strong down the stretch; so strong, tn fact, that one of the judges (al- though voting for Sharkey) scorsd seven of the last eight rounds in Schmsling's favor.
 It happens, however, thas Schmel- ing is a throw-back to a class of fighters, now conspicuous by their absence. He can go the route. But there are very few of this sort in any division. It is doubtful, un- der present day conditions, if fights in excess of 10 or Is rounds would be either popular or entertaining. In fact, even in the old days, it was oSten a monotonous proposi ticn by the time the 4Gth round was reached. with the issue de- pending on how lcng the gladiators could keep their feet.
