Over Job State Director
Of Publicity.

Governor Roy e. Ayers has
named John W. Nelson of Helena,
one of the outstanding newspaper
writer's of the state as Montana's
director of publicity to succeed
Charles L. Stevens, retired. The
appointment is a good one and
is assurance that the Treasure
State will from now on receive the
publicity its manifold resources,
scarcely scratched, deserve.
The new director of publicity
has had extensive experience in
both the newspaper and publicity
field. His newspaper experience
began on the Billings Gazette,
twenty years ago. Subsequently,
he worked on the Livingston En-
terprise and the Butte Daily Post,
before going to the west coast
where he was city editor of one
of the Seattle papers, and later,
publicity director for the Seattle
chamber of commerce. He re-
turned to Montana to assume, the
editorship of the western Pro-
fgressiye at Helena, in 1884 ..-
The Governor announced that
he plans to rejuvenate the Pub
licitv Department, which is I'M

I axpayers
Are Invited
To Attend Budget Meeting of the
County Commissioners on
Saturday, 10 A. M.

Taxpayer:
At this particular time of the
year, county budgets are being
drawn up for the coming year.
The board of county commission
ers feels that the taxpayers of
the county should be represented
at a hearing before the final
adoption of the budgets. at which
hearing they should feel free
to express their opinion regarding
the same. 1t Sould be of great
assistance to the board to have
opinions publicly expressed by the
taxpayers in guiding them in the
performance of this duty.
They have heretofore given
notice by publication of a public
hearing to be held on the 4th
day of August, 1887, as is ordin-
arily the case. A great many
people do not inform themselves
of these legal publications and
notices in the newspapers.
Therefore, they intend to hold
a special meeting on Saturday
August 7. 1887, at ten O'Clock
a. M, at which time they invite
all taxpayers to be present and
all are urged to attend this meet
ing and inform others of the
same.
They wish to advise, further
that August 9, 1887. is the day
fixed by law for the final deter
mination of tax levies for the
coming year, and after that date
no revision can be made in the
budgets or the levies. All are
urged to attend the meeting on
AUGUST 7th.

The Midland Empires Progressive
Daily Newspaper Says Nice
Things About Us.

Under the caption Big Horn
County's Jubilee" the Billings
Gazette Of Thursday morning last
week had the following compli-
mentary things to say about Big
Horn County,s Jubilee and Cele-
bration of Progress to be held
at Hardin Monday and Tuesday,
September 6 and z:
Enterprising residents of our
neigihboring county of Big Horn
are witnessing the realization of
some Of their long-cherished as
p%irations. The decision of the fed
eral government to 60 ahead with
construction of the $780, 900 stor-
age dam in Lodge Grass creek
probably is but a forerunner of
the irrigation development which
will follow the completion within
the next six weeks or so of the
Holly Sugar company refinery at
Hardin.
The county's sugar beet acre.
age has doubled during the last
couple of years, and this year
amounts to about $4,000 acres. A
further expansion of between 1000
and 1900 acres annually for the
next five years is anticipated.
The groundwork for such a de-
velopment has been laid and the
next few years undoubtedly will
witness increasing activity along
the valleys and on the fertile
bench land of the county. The
! n creased agricultural stability
will raise the standard of living
of present residents and provide
opportunities for new settlers.
The Celebration of Progress
which it is planned to hold on a
county wide basis at Hardin Sep
TENDER 6 and 7 is highly COM
mendable and will undoubtedly
draw many visitors from Billings
and other points beyond the
attraction it dovetails with the
annual Crow Indian fair the
previous week at Crow Agency.
There livestock and agricultural
crops will be featured, but the
highlight probably will be an
historical pageant on September
Y. depicting the Indians as they
were 60 years ago.
The Indians will share with
their white brethren the bene-
fits of the more intensified and
