Lula Cobb Jones,
Hardin, Montana,
Dear Mrs. Jones:
thank you for yours of March
30th, relative to copper license
plates for the state of Montana. I
read your article with a great deal
of pleasure and think you r en-
tirely right, that some emblem
! should be adopted for these plates
| that is characteristic of the State
of Montana, and the profile of
an Indian Head would be most
appropriate.
For your information, will say,
that at the last directors meet
ing of our association, we passed
a resolution for the use of copper
for these plates, however, we have
been informed that the steel for
the 1899 plates has been contract
ed for, prior to that time, and
therefore, we must endeavor to
| obtain this change for 1910.
Yours very truly,
L. J. Onstad.
E. B. Winter, secretary of the
Southeastern Montana Counties
Association replies to Mrs. Jones:
Miles City, Montana
April 6, 1888
Dear Mrs. Jones:
Mr.. Onstad has just forwarded
me your article on the copper Ii
cense plates for the State of Mon
tana. 1t is very good indeed. I have
turned it over to the Commercial
Committee for this organization
and they are working hard to
bring about some results on this.
The contract had been let for
the steel plates for 1889 and I
presume that it will be necessary
for us to get a bill introduced
whereby the old plate, that is cop
per. would have to be turned in
in making the purchase of a new
plate.
On behalf of the Association we
solicit your continued support in
this matter and feel that we may
bring about something of perm
anent value to the State.

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

Carl Nyberg, contractor on the
Belton-Avalanche Creek surtaclng
project in Glacier National Park,
has a crew of ten men at work
setting up his crushing plant and
expects to be in full operation
within two weeks.
The major items of the contract
call for placing of 126.50O tons OF
crushed rock on the sixteen miles
of roadway and the application OF
845 tons of liquid and cutback as
phalt. Minor items include 7,15o
lineal feet of rustic log guard rail,
300 square yards paved culvert in
let's, $1,000 lineal feet of log grlds
for slope sterilization, and 1900
square yards of dry rubble slope
pavement. The bid price for the
Job was $185 ,933.
Work is expected to be complete
by early fall. The operations vii
interfere with summer traffic only
to a minor extent as the contract
provides that the completed pave
ment must never be more than
three miles behind advance oper-
atiOnS.

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

Writing about dogs, it is dan
gerous business, and you are on
thin ice. Some folks who have
dogs, they will not like what you
say, and other folks who do not
care for dogs, maybe they will
also not like it-but the dogs will.
Dogs in the country, they need
no spokesman-so I campaign only
for the city dogs.
A dog in the city, he is mostly
on a rope-or locked up-and is as
happy as a person in jail or on a
chain gang-and as useless. And
people in the city who have a dog,
they are not shootin' square with
him. But in the country, you can
not have too many dogs-one dog
per acre, it is not too much-and.
they are useful there, and your
best friend. One acre, one dog
that is my slogan.
And the old saying-he leads a
dogs life-it did not get started
by any country dog. It got start
ed by the Teller in the city who
leads the dog for the Mrs.-and I
feel sorry for the feller-also the
dog.
Yours, with the low down.,
JOE SIERRA.

Editorial

We have seer a good many dogs
in a good many towns, but we are
forced to admit that we never saw
a town with o dogs than Har-
din Now we are rather soft-heart-
ed (some might call it soft-head-
ed about dogs, and we really
don't mind seeing a lot of them
about, but we do object to seeing
a good many Of them lifted, Grip
pied and sick.
We have shed a few tears over
the sad tale of the little newsboy
losing faithful Rover to the dog
catcher, but we honestly feel that
some of the poor creatures on the
streets of Hardin would be better
off out of their misery. We are
glad that the city has made ar
engagements to pick up all stray
dogs.
There are many beautiful and
well-bred dogs here, and of course
we do not advocate picking up
dogs Unfortunately. But we do
feel that a family which cannot
afford to get a dog license cannot
afford to feed a dog properly.
One thing must be kept in mind.
There are dogs which have the
bad habit of losing their license
tags. A few of these will chew,
scratch and pull at a collar until
it is dislodged, and we feel that
any dog that shows evidences of
having had any care at all should
be identified if possible before it
is done away with. Most dog own
ers are aware of the fact that II a
dog will not wear a collar, he will
SOMETHING'S wear a harness, and
we suggest that this is tried in
cases where the family pet is for
ever losing his license tag.
We must make one more state
ment before we close, and that is
in reference to poisoning dogs.
Many persons who have gardens
or attractive lawns and flower
beds object to dogs in the neigh
borhood, because sometimes they
do damage the appearance OF the
front lawn.
In fact, we had a pooch once
which insisted on dragging de-
funct fish, very old bones, and any
other sort of trash that was val
liable in his eyes right up to our
front step. He meant for the best,
and we couldn't help being
touched that he wanted to give
us a present, but his taste was
far from perfect.
However, careful training will
often break a dog of bringing TO
the neighbor's lawn, or your own,
such tokens of affection, and an
intelligent pet can also be trained
not to roll in the tulip bed next
door. /
So if you don't own a dog. and
you find that several seem to think
your lawn and garden was espec-
tally created for their amusement,
try to find the owners and explain
the situation. When you put out
poison, you will probably kill an
imals that have never done you
any harm.
. + you have ever watched a dog
die from poison, you will under
stand why the poisoner is consld-
cred the most despicable OF crea-
lures by dog lovers. If a dog can
not be trained to leave things al
one, if he is too much OF a NUS
ance to be tolerated, at least let
him be sent away, or give him the
benefit of an easy, painless death.

One healthy sign merged out
of the fight over the bill to re-
organize the Government and put
more power in the hands of the
Executive branch-John Public is
still very much concerned about
the destinies being shaped for him
by Congress.
And that rosy-cheeked outlook
is not based upon the quantity of
protesting letters and kilograms,
which deluged congressional desks
in unprecedented number, but up
on their quality" They were
spontaneous protests from the real
grass roots. Here is the proof:
Observers who checked the Or
iginal source of the kilograms
found that a large majority had
originated from private homes and
had been telephoned to telegraph
offices.
Needless to say, there was o n
siderable sleep lost in congression-
al bedrooms during the heat of the
fight. And instead of counting
sheep most of the sleepless ones
were counting votes.
An indication that a new gov
eminent spending orgy is likely in
an effort to put a prop under COL
lapsing recovery is evident again
in the Capital. 1t is reported that
so-called conservative" inner =
circle intimates of the adminiStra-
ton have been won over by those
who want more spending and that
the relief spigots on the Treasury
vaults will be turned on to great
err flow. The conservatives" how
ever, deplore the use of the term
renewed spending" for, they
point out, the spending has never
yet stopped.
The extent of this new spending,
is of course, dependent again on
how much money the government
can borrow-since spending within
its income ceased to be a Federal
fashion long ago.
And that leads observers here to
predict the National debt, which is
now nearing the thirty-eight bill
lion dollar mark, will soon pass the
forty billion figure.
