 When entered the World War our expenses jumped from less than billion to over fifteen billions average per year for l918-1919-more than five billions yearly greater than the present sum-
 Most of that money went for It was blown up burned up, lent up, and otherwise destroyed

 Juneau was in state of famine, as far as fuel was concerned. The city coal bunkers to which the majority of the inhabitants looked for supply, were empty as were the bunkers of the Pacific Coast Company. There was some wood, but the supply was limited and residents and hotel owners were becoming worried about the prob lem of heating. There was little chance of an adequate shipment for several days. Mayor c. w. Car ter said the city had been unable to get coal delivered in the amount ordered and that this accounted for the shortage, and the Pacific Coast Company manager said the same thing applied there.

Rising Temperature Brings
Slight Snowfall Wednesday

Following a week of white win
ter caused from a combination Of
frost and fog which blanketed most
OF northeastern Montana, Plenty
wood and vicinity got its first taste
OF winter when snow started falling
Wednesday morning and continued
throughout the day.
The snow came following a rise iE
temperature with thermometers In
the city registering Is degrees above
zero Wednesday morning.
The combination of frost and fog
Of the past 10 days made a particular
dangerous combination for motor
lists. freezing on windshlelds and
shutting off the view of the road
and approaching motorists. Oiled
roads along No. 2 highway were as
slick as ice and were exceedingly
dangerous for travel.
Many motorists travelling from
Plentywood encountered such heavy
fog that they were forced to halt.
The blanket of frost proved costly
to Lee X. Myers and VIM. Ferguson,
Jr., of Scobey last Thursday when
they crashed about three miles east
of Scobey. The cars collided.
The weather forecast for today is
generally fair for northeastern Mon
tana.

over 1000 HEAD TO
BE PURCHASE Ed IN
CATTLE PRO NJ:
Purchasing to Start at Once
Says County Agent
Peterson

Authority to purchase additional
cattle from drouth stricken Sheridan
county was granted by the Federal
Emergency Cattle purchasing depart
ment Wednesday.
The information came following a
request made by county agent Carl
II. Peterson to the department ask
ing that additional purchases be
made after a survey had been taken
in the county showing that farmers
had more cattle than they could win
ter because of the extreme shortage
of feed.
Mr.. Petersen stated that the pro-
gram will get under way immediate
ly. Many farmers who did not have
an opportunity to dispose of cattle in
the last purchasing program because
of the buying being done on a re-
stricted basis will be able to do so
now.
1t was suggested to the federal de-
partment that approximately 1000
cattle would have to be bought here,
however additional purchases may be
made.
County Agent Peterson advises
that farmers having cattle to sell, to
get in touch with his office imme-
diately and make the necessary APP
"plications.
The method OF appraisement has
not yet been determined.

PRESENT VIEWS At
Meeting OF BOARD
HERE WEDNESDAY,
County Taxable Value Too
High to Permit Seventh
Class Designation

"A group OF men representing the
Sheridan County Taxpayers Asso.
citation appeared before the board CT
county commissioners Wednesday
launching an effort to reduce the
county to seventh class.
Sen. Lars Angvick OF Reserve, and
Edgar /. Syverud, secretary OF the
organization presided for the Tax
payers Association.
1t vas learned that the board Of
commissioners had gone into the
matter of reducing the classification
OF the county thoroughly, and il was
revealed that at the present time
the taxable valuation Of the county
was in excess Of that prescribed BY
law to allow the county to be re,
duced to the proposed classification
The taxable valuation of the coun,
ty is now s5,001,050.
In counties where the total assess.
ed valuation has dropped below
Sc, 1000, 900, the classification is in
tended to be lowered from the sixth
to seventh class. Salaries Of county
officials are reduced in a seventh
class county. Figures complied
show that the difference between
the two classifications for Sheridan
county would amount to less than
ten cents a year to the average tax.
payer.
The law provides that county com.
missioners designate the classified
tion OF counties in September OF ev.
cry even numbered year. The COM
hmissioners In their September
meeting made no change In the couI
tvs classification upon the advice
of the state examiner.
According to representatives Of
the Taxpayers Association. the
county valuation in September was
low enough to warrant the reduction.
The county commissioners ex
planned to the gathering that addi
tional assessments since that period
had increased the taxable value.
"A big portion of the assessments
came, 1t was revealed, through as
sessing Of additional cattle, which
had not been rightfully entered by
owners when assessment blanks
were mailed last March. A true
statement Of the number of cattle on
various farms was made available to
the county assessor during the time
the government was purchasing live.
stock and granting feed loans.
Due to the fact that the county
was eligible for seventh class rating
In September, the board of county
commissioners have instructed the
county attorney to have an opinion
issued whether or not 1t would be
lawful at the present time to reduce
the classification from the Septem.
Der taxable valuation.
The matter will be referred to at
torneygeneral Raymond T. Nagle.
