To PreUent HOLLyhOck
Rust for Next Year

While it is too late TO protect this
years crop Of hollyhocks from holly
hook rust. homeowners can take q few
simple steps this fall that win pre-
vent the disease from coming back
next wear, according TO Fl. < Morris
plant pathologist for the Montana ag-
ricultIral experiment station.
Morris says hollyhock rust made its
appearance again this year and has
spread into most of Montana. The
rust Is easily recognized, he said. It
Is q ftlngous disease and appears as
reddish spots ON the under side of the
older hollyhock leaves. The spots spread
to the younger leaves, giving the plants
an. unsightly appearance. Once the
disease has thoroughly infested a
planting, 1T cannot be stopped that
year. However, it can be controlled in
the early stages by spraying with a
Bordeaux mixture, 1850 at to 10
days intervals
Because it is too late to spray the
plants this year, Morris makes the
following suggestions for preventing
the return of the rust next year. First,
rake I'D all dead leaves and refuse
late this fan after all the leaves have
fallen. Burn this refuse and 1t win kill
most of the rust spores. AS q rule,
he said, this one treatment Is ef-
fective.

The more you use from clump of
pieplant the more it will grow. The
more you cut it back, the more crowns
it sends up to open out into leaves.
It is a quick growing plant, throw
ing out its "elephant-ear" leaves early
in the spring before other plants show
signs of life. But, left to itself, it win
produce a few leaves and then send
I'D seed stalk, and quit growing. The
leaves on 1t get old and tough, and the
whole plant just goes to seed and dies.
Give 1t suitable soil and keep 1t cut
back, and 1t will produce and produce
and produce. Instead Of a few leaves,
there gets to be a great bush of stalks
coming up all around the root. And the
root itself grows and expands until 1t
Is like the root system of great tree.
when the plant does finally send up
a seed stalk, 1t will be a fine strong
one. 8 beauty to behold.
People do not like to have their
plans interfered with. When they start
anything they want to accomplish great
results In short order.
But those that really make a success
OF what they are doing are those whose
progress was not always fast or easy.
Their first seed stalks were cut back,
not once but again and again. They
had TO start anew with what little
strength they had left, and build their
foundations deeper, and try new angles
OF reaching out.
Where they had failures for a
while, they so gained Ia knowledge
and ability that their final effort sur
passes, often, their original expecta-
tons.

STATE TAX LEVY
SET AT 5.5 MILLS
TOTAL FOR THIS YEAR SLIGHTLY
LOWER THAN AMOUNT OF
LAST YEAR
Dropping 4/I2 Mill Charge On AS
sessed Valuation, Rather Than Tax
able Valuation for Educational Bond
Interest, Sinking Fund, Difference.

The state board of equalization
has set a 5Iz-miIl state tax levy
on all Montana property for the
year 1899. E. A. Dye, board chair
man, explained the 1889 mill levies
appeared higher than for 1888, but
were in reality lower because a
Alp mill levy on the assessed
valuation, rather than the taxable
valuation, of all state property for
the educational bond interest and
sinking fund had been dropped.
The levy of 4/12 mill on the as
seSsed valuation equalled more than
mill on the taxable valuation, he
said.
The total general property levy last
year was Al mills.
The board also set levies totaling 4
mills on livestock.
The levy for the state general fund
was set at mills, and for the uni
versity millage fund at mills. In ac-
cordance with an act of the 1889 ses-
sion of the legislature, the board levied
ing bonds sinking and interest fund.
Livestock levies were divided as fol-
low:
For the livestock commission fund,
l mill on sheep and Ii mills on all
other livestock.
For the livestock bounty fund, Ii
mills on sheep and mill on all other
livestock.
For the state livestock sanitary
board fund, II mills on all livestock
AL levies we're made on the taxable
valuation of property.

DAM
BIDS ARE RECEIVED
TWO CROW COUNTRY CREEKS TO
BE LINKED BY
CANAL
Reservoir When Completed VIII Have
Storage Capacity of $4,000 Acre Feet
and will Supply Ample Water for
Irrigation Needs.

Bids for construction of an earth
filled dam on Willow creek on the
Crow Indian reservation, located
about 100 miles south and east of
Billings, were received July / in
the Billings office of w. S. Hanna,
supervising engineer of the irri-
cation division of United States
affairs, and have been sent to
Washington for approval and Sc
lection, Mr. Hanna reports.
The dam site is located about half
mile above the point where Willow
creek joins Lodge Grass creek. When
completed the dam will be 113 feet
high with two bikes at the west end.
The storage capacity of the reservoir
is $4,000 acre-feet which will be avail
able to supplement the natural water
flow for over $4,000 acres Of irrigable
land
There will be 1,75O,0O0 cubic yards of
dirt in the dam and bikes, MIR. Hanna
says, plus $4,000 cubic yards of rip
rap on the front slope Of the dam to
protect it from wave action.
Started In 1888
The project was started In the sum-
mer of 1888 with government forces
working to complete one mile OF feed
er canal The canal will divert water
from Lodge Grass creek and lead 1t to
mately one and one-half miles of adj
ditional feeder canal is now under con-
struction.
The main outlet conduit, constructed
of concrete, is now completed and the
area where the dam is to be built has
been cleared of brush, trees and debris.
Seventeen miles of telephone line
from Lodge Grass to the camp site
where the men are working and living
have also been constructed. The camp
is equipped to handle a force of about
rs men and when the bids are award
ed, it is expected that this number Of
men will be employed on the project,
MIR Hanna reports.
The crew is now at work on q fresh
rack which when finished will keep
brush from clogging and obstrIlcting
the gate. Gates are being installed to
complete the flow Of water at all
times.
VIII Assure Water
Excavations for building the concrete
spillway are practically complete. The
entire section of the dam will be con-
of earthWork.
Although no new land viii be brought
under cultivation as q result Of this
reservoir of water, the completion of
the dam should assure farmers in the |
area an adequate water supply for I
crops throughout the season. Mr.. |
Hanna points out that In the past, |
there has been yearly crop loss which |
mas resulted in considerable financial
oss to the farmers. The land at pres
snt is watered by means of irrigation |
bitches for which the water supply has |
1een insufficient during the latter half /
If the irrigation season.
Principal crops in the area are al
alfa, beans, grains and sugar beets.

For Brenda Disclosed
Dy the Associated Press.

Fate has dished out double portion
of security-a possible choice of
either $4,000, 900 or $4,000, ,0OO-for
Brenda Frazier, 1885 dazzling deb
utante, q trustees action in Supreme
Court has disclosed.
Her stepfather, the late Frederic
n. Watriss, oil magnate, had set up
q 1000 900 trust fund, to revert to
the 18-year-old glamour girl on the
death of her mother, Mrs. Watriss,
the action revealed.
Mr.. Watriss provided, however,
that she gets the estate only if she
does not accept an 10000 in
heritance from her father-and if
Mrs. Watriss does not direct other
wise in her will.
Brenda's father, Frank Duff Fra
xier, who died in 1894, provided the
girl was to get an 100000 Inherit
ance-if she didn't live with her
mother. This spite" clause was
thrown out in court, when Mrs.
Watriss had herself appointed her
daughters guardian.
The trustees action asked a de-
Termination Of the shares Of Mr..
Watriss' five children and three
grandchildren In his estate.
