Beyond the parlor is the family din

the mansion. This extends through
the entire building wide and beautiful.
A lovely wide stairway leads to the
second story. On the landing there
sits an old grandfather's clock, which
belonged to Lawrence Washington. The
genuine key to the Bastile, in Paris,
presented to Washington by Lafayette
in 1889, hangs in a glass case on the
wall. Four of Washington's swords are
shown. A marble top table also that
belonged to Washington. Two doors
open from one side Of this central hall

Bargain Days For Lincoln County
Tax Payers Through New Law

paid taxes go to the greater the saw
ing.
After December | the county will
be forced to take tax title to property
on which taxes have not been paid
for five years. If they don't do this
no one will pay taxes. For two years
the hands of the commissioners have
been tied by legislative entanglements
but provision has been made in this
years county budget for taking title
to eligible property owned by people
who do not take advantage of the
present bargain days
With good crops and the large
amount of industrial activity condi-
tons justify an expectation of sub
stantial delinquent tax payments
The county treasurer estimates that
while a large amount of back taxes
will be paid before December l, about
half of the delinquency can only be
wiped out by the county taking over
the property.
Here are few actual examples OF
the saving that can be made by in
dividual property owners in Lincoln
county:
/. Owner of small farm did not
pay his taxes in 1922 which amounted
to $50.38. If he pays this bill before
December he will not have to dig
up an additional S6045 accumulated
penalty and interest.
2, Owners of mine assessed al
S13,125 owe 4 years taxes, s282372
They can save 1877, or S54868. by
payment of the original taxes this
fall.
3. Owner of small farm valued at
$500 did not pay his taxes in 1929
and 1890 He can save S1218 or $50
by paying s2189 back tax
4. Owner of $500 farm owing
S149.2O for 3 years taxes can save
1929 or 26oo.
S. Owner of small tract assessed
at $1,000 can save S13.35 or 30os by
paving the 2 years delinquent tax Of

during the past week making a house
to house canvass seeking signatures to
petition that would throw the Mon
tana highway patrol law to vote of
the people at the next general election
Provided enough signatures are OBJ
tanned, operation Of the law will be
suspended until it can be voted on by
the people.

suspend the law and put it to a vote
is backed by the labor unions of Butte
1t is also understood their chief objec-
ton to the patrol law is that they fear
the patrol force may some day be used
to suppress strikes.

That is a borrowed sentence and il
is fitting beginning for this install

full Mount Vernon we found ourselves
one lovely morning after a delightful
drive out from Washington, over wide
concrete highway that wound in and
out among pleasantly clad hills, with
the magnificent and beautiful Potomac
in sight most Of the time at our left
One cannot approach Mount Vernon
without feeling of reverence. Al
least, we were thus affected as we
found ourselves slowly vending our
way up long and curving walk to the
mansion itself Autos are not per-

termed scared soil, this place that the

One walks up from the north lodge
gate over walk to smaller gate that
leads into lawn of considerable area
called Bowling Green, and developed
by Washington in 1855. Walks vino
around both sides of this green, ulti-
mately leading one to the mansion
On the way, the walks are shaded by
large lovely trees, some of the larger
trees having undoubtedly been planted
by Washington himself
On one side of the green the walks

flower garden On the other side Of
the green one passes equally extensive
kitchen gardens. In due course one ar

One not acquainted with the plan Of
Mount Vernon might think he was ar
irving at the rear Of the house. 1t is
flat in appearance, with none of the
pillars and no hint of the wide portico
that one is accustomed to see in pic

this was the point Of approach fol

knocker
We passed through the entrance into
small hall that extended through the
building onto the main portico that
overlooks the Potomac AT our left as
we entered were Washington's library
and Mrs. Washington's sitting room
Across this small hallway we found

LESS THAN DOMESTIC NEEDS

BOZEMAN-For the third consecu-
tive year, the United States wheat crop
promises to be less than domestic
utilization due mostly to low yields
and heavy abandonment, according to
the summer wheat outlook report re-
leased by the bureau of agricultural
economics The short crops of the last
three years, together with other influ-
ences, have resulted in wheat prices
in the United States being maintained
at levels unusually high relative to
the world market price. Generally
speaking they have been 90 to 80 cents
higher than might have been expected
with more nearly normal Yields in the
United States, officials said
