continuously and vigorously in the
pockets of property tax payers.
He cited concrete examples of
cities that now own and operate
their own power plants, furnish
ing their residents with lighting
at low rates and their treasures
with regular income.
Description of city-owned
plant was given by DR.. F. w.
Schwin, who gave the example of
his home town in Iowa, small
town of 1,1OO souls. That town,
three years ago, built a public
power system at a cost of $4,000.
At the present time, he said, the
debt on the system has been re-
duced by half, and property taxes
have been eliminated. In that in
stance, the system included a
generating plant, which made
necessary rates slightly higher
than those now in effect in Red
Lodge. (Under the proposed plan,
power would be purchased from
the Montana Power company, sup
posedly at the same rate paid by
the N. w. I. company, which no
longer generates its own power
since the decline of the local min
ing industry.)
Alderman Gus B. Foltz observed
that the amount the city now pays
for public lighting in a single year
would be sufficient to pay the in
terest, at four per cent, on loan
of $4,000.
Another observation, by F. H.
Alden, was that fire insurance
rates are likely to be raised at any
time in Red Lodge, due to the
fact that the fire underwriters as
sociation considers the danger
from poor wiring to be unusually
great in this city.
Upon Alderman w. w. Flash
mans suggestion that the mayor
appoint committee to investi-
gate, and let's get busy, Mayor
Allen appointed Aldermen Flash
man, Foltz and Ray Houtonen to
secure information and estimates
necessary for application for a
loan from the NRA. 1t was under
stood by the councilmen that ap-
plication could be filed while de-
tails of repayment, possibly the
floating of a bond issue, could be
worked out later.
"While we're at it," suggested
| Alderman Barrett, couldn't we
include an appropriation for an
airplane landing field?"
"That," replied Mr.. Shelley,
"could be possible, and another
project could be the construction
of a public automobile tourist
camp at Red Lodge that would be
second to none in the Northwest"
In recent conference with Ray
Hart of Billings, of the state pub
lie works board, Mr.. Shelley was
assured that the recovery admin
istration is not only encouraging
projects such as those proposed
for Red Lodge, but actually is
seeking them out.

WALTER LAMPORT,
CARBON SHERIFF,
TAKEN BY DEATH
Was One of Best Known of
Stockmen in the Region;
Services Today

Many of Walter E. Lamport's
friends were in Billings this after
noon to attend his funeral services,
while others in this county and
state reverenced the memory OF
the Carbon county sheriff, whose
death occurred at Billings early
Monday morning.
Taken suddenly i'll a week ago,
he was taken to Billings last Fri
day and placed under treatment.
At hospital there he underwent
an emergency operation for a
ruptured appendix, but the at
tempt was made too late to save
his life. News of his death was an
unpleasant surprise to people in
this county, many of whom had
no knowledge Of his illness.
By proclamation of Mayor E. w.
Allen, places of business in Red
Lodge were closed this afternoon,
in respect to the memory of the
deceased.
The funeral was conducted in
Smiths funeral chapel, with Rev.
Frank Durant directing the rites.
Services at the cemetery were con-
Quoted by Masons of Red Lodge
and Billings.
Walter Lamport was one OF
those men whose lives We're links
between the old West and the
new, between the era of open
ranges and great cattle herds, and
the later industrial period that
brought present day cities into ex-
istence.
He was born at Bloomer, Wis,
on March 8, 1879, and when he
was a year old, was taken by his
parents to Sturgis City, in the
Black Hills region of South Da-
kota. They lived there two years,
and in 1882 moved to Billings,
later to Red Lodge.
George Lamport, his father,
was civil engineer who helped in
the development of this territory
when many towns in the county
were new. AS boy with his
father, walt" travelled and
worked in almost every commun-
ity in this and neighboring coun-
ties, and acquired an early ac-
quaintance with places and peo-
pie of southern Montana. He
learned to know and ride horses,
to wrangle cattle on Carbon coun-

RANCHERS CAN PREVENT
GRASSHOPPER PLAGUE

Bozeman-(UP)-One way to
head off the threatened influx of
grasshoppers next year is to plow
stubble land soon after the grain
crop has been removed, agricul-
tural experts say.
The stubble should be plowed to
a depth of four inches. The crust
of ground formed by this oper-
alton prevents young 'hoppers
from working their way to the
ground surface after Matching in
May and June.
A severe infestation of grass
hoppers will occur next year un-
less ranchers take this and sim
liar preventive action, authorities
warn.

Red Lodge city council Tuesday
night listened with apparent fav-
or to the proposition that the city
borrow money from the govern
ment's national recovery fund to
build a city-owned, self-liquidating
light and power system. They
discussed the feasibility of the
plan, and set committee to work
to investigate costs, ways and
means, in order that an applica-
tion can be made to the NRA for
a loan.
After routine business of the
council had been disposed of,
Mayor Allen invited discussion of
the proposed project, the matter
having been previously brought to
the attention of the various alder
men by O. H. P. Shelley, who was
present at the meeting. City At
torney John G. Skinner explained
the method by which the city
could borrow funds to build a mod
ern, efficient system that would
deliver power to Red Lodge con-
sumers, that could be built with
out the levying of any additional
taxes.
He explained that the constitu-
tional limit to the city's indebted
ness would not prevent the city's
securing the loan, pointing out
article No. 8 of the provisions for
public works under the NRA,
which states that the president
may extend the benefits of the
act to public bodies, notwithstand-
ing limitations of indebtedness.
Repayment of the loan, it was
said, could be amortized over a
period of 80 years, and no pay
ment of either principal or inter-
est would be necessary for the
first four years. Through the gift
clause of the national recovery act,
30 per cent of the loan would be
donated by the government. The
interest rate would be four per
cent.
Preliminary estimates placed the
cost of building the system at ap-
proximately $4,000, but even
should the cost run as high as
$4,000, it. was pointed out, the
loan could be secured just as cas-
lily, and could be repaid without
burden of any kind to taxpayers,
while, at the same time, consum-
ers would be paying less for more
satisfactory power service.
Asked whether such project
by the city would cancell the pres
ent franchise of the N. w. /. COM
pany, Mr.. Skinner said that the re-
lations of the city with the N. w.
|. would not be altered, except
that the city, if in possession of
its own power system, would not
have to purchase current for street
lighting, that the N. w. |. might
continue operation of its system,
or quit, as it saw fit.
Mayor Allen remarked that the
city Of Red Lodge this year has
already exceeded it's constitutional
limit of indebtedness. This, said
Mr.. Shelley, was good reason for
the institution of a revenue pro-
ducing system that might help to
pull and keep the city out of in
debtedness, without digging so

GOVERNMENT PORK
REPORTED WASTED
Large Part of Pigs Killed
Under Federal Plan
Dumped In River

Buried in the inside pages of
daily newspapers Tuesday was the
story of how $4,000 worth of
hog meat was thrown into the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers
under the governments pork re-
duction program.
"a large part of the pigs
slaughtered at st. Joseph, Mo-,
and East st. Louis, ILL.,, under
government program has been
thrown into the rivers, while
those purchased at Kansas City
are being converted into edible
meats and fertilizer" said an AS
sociated Press news story.
1t was estimated that about
$322,OO0 of the $4,000 paid by
the government at East st. Louis
in the premium hog market, was
expended on meat that was thrown
away. The estimate was verified
by Frank Hunter, representative
of the American institute of meat
packers. A major part of the pigs
killed at st. Joseph has been
turned into tankage and dumped
in the Missouri river.
Observation-Disclosures ship
ping pigs to Spokane, Wash, for
sale under the emergency hog
marketing program, or to any
other marketing point must OBJ
tain permits authorizing shipment
and present such permits to the
authorized receivers, the agricul-
tural adjustment administration
announces.
Purchase of pigs will not be
made for the account of the secre-
tary Of agriculture unless the per-
NIT for shipment accompanies
each consignment of pigs, it was
said.
Permits must be obtained
through commission firms, or di-
rectly from authorized packers
where the pigs are to be shipped
directly to the latter. Permits are
not to be issued to anyone other
than the original owner of the
pigs, and in no case are the per-
mits to cover more than 200 head.

Home Owning Aid Success
OF Child's Development

A child's character and the en-
tire emotional tone Of his life,
and therefore his success, are
determined as much in the home
as by all outside agencies com.
bined. This is also true Of the
man and woman, as it is Of the
child.
Home is the place where
nearly all fundamental attitudes
toward life are developed. The
school, church, club, and the
business office do their best, but
they can never do what the fam
lily and home can do, for either
good or i'll in educating the emo
tions and attitudes, this has been
proven not only by personal
opinion, but by a study Of this
subject made on a very large
scale.
This study has proved that self
reliant men and women are able
to stand on their own feet and
meet an imperfect world with
high ideals Of their own, this is
the broad general attitude toward
life and about life that are taught
in the home.
Never before have furnishings
been so reasonable. The Sturdiest
Of oak and walnut, the beauty of
maple and mahogany, chestnut
and beech, are all used in good
furniture with true designs. Woods
are being treated in a manner to

resist the wear and tear that all
children give them, so that shabby,
ugly pieces should no longer be
used about a home because small
children are in it. Children should
take pride in good furniture that
has been in the family since their
birth or years before.
Glazed chlntz curtains Of flow
cred patterns brighten up the
home, and sticky fingermarks can
be covered with a bright washable
wall paper or paint that is water
proof. Don't paint the woodwork
a dark color; white makes a
brighter room and the right kind
of paint can be wiped clean Of
spots.
Don't wait, for by the time the
children are grown, buying fur
nishings and having home won't
be worth while if they are not
there to enjoy them with you.
