was no other course for him except
a harsh discipline in forgetting.
An utter loneliness enveloped him
now as he ascended the scantily tim
bered, wild mountain reaches. Over
only a short distance toward the
north, in the completely still, mys-
terious folds of the hills, lay the
Dean summer range, skirting his
own. Across deep valley, spread
over the palely green mountain-side
opposite, one of the units of the
Laird's flock was dinly discernible.
Trained though his eyes were to the
ambiguity of vast distances, it was
all Bruce could do to distinguish
the flock in that brilliant, thin at
mosphere. But across the vacancy
there came to him, piercingly sweet,
the sound of a bell. He knew that
bell--there was only one like it any,
where in the Upper Country. It
was Autumn Deans Basque bell.
The sound of it had drawn him
across the valley on his last trip,
nearly a month ago now, and he
had spent an hour of the afternoon
with the young Irish lad who was
one of the Laird's herders. He would
never forget the wistful blue eyes
of the boy and the eagerness with
which he strove to prolong the visit.
AS the sound of the bell struck
across his senses now, Bruce strove
grimly to repudiate the significance,
to himself, of that sound. It was
sheer sentimentality on his own part
that the bell seemed to chime Au-
tumn's name. He resolved that on
his next trip into the hills he would
leave home early enough to turn
aside and spend an hour with the
young herder. He would do so to-
day but that he had to get back in
time for an appointment he had
made that night with a buyer in
Kamloops.
1t was late that evening when
Bruce drew up to the curb and got
from his car before a gray, wealth
cred building that had served as a
trading post in the old days. The
structure housed a billiard parlor
now and was known locally as
"Sandy's Place" 1t had become a
rendezvous for cattle and sheep
men, ranch hands seeking employ
ment, and nondescript transients.
But despite the determination of the
years to mold it to a less romantic
form, there clung about it still some
of the pungent, zestful air of times
gone by when sourdoughs and che
chahcos drifted in for a nights lodg-
ing and game of poker. The pro-
prietor was a rugged old Scotchman
who had himself been a prospector
on Williams Creek.
There were not more than nalf
dozen idlers in the front room of the
place when Bruce entered. He
looked them over and sauntered into
the back room, pausing in the door
way to glance about for the buyer
he had come to see. He discov-
cred his man in q far corner of the

May Change Auto Tax Law

Veteran members of the Mon
tana senate predicted this week
there not onlv will be an attempt
made to change the date for tax
alton of automotive vehicles back
to the first Monday in March.
there also probably would be an
attempt started to have car Ii.
cense plates purchased on a basis
of March l to March l. rather
than January l to January /, as
IS the current practice.
The change in the assessment
date will require amendment to
an act passed two years ago rela-
tive to the assessment of auto.
mobiles for taxation purposes.
The 1887 legislature changed the
assessment date t. the first of
the year, but the plan has been
in court several times and now is
expected to be attacked again in
the assembly.

Railroads.&c.. l Taxpayer

Every American citizen has q
direct financial stake in the rail.
road industry because of the tire.
nendous taxes it pays-taxes tina,
| would have to be made up by
heavier levles on all other businesses
and individuals. if the railroads
were socialized.
In 1887. all the revenue received
during % average operating days
went to the tax collector-as against
% days in 1927.
For every dollar the railroads
paid their owners in dividends in
1887, they paid 81 "a in taxes-as
against 81 cents in 1917.
For every employe in 1887. they
paid 1922 IL i'll taxes, AS against
Sl23.i5 in 1917.
The taxes paid by the railroads
amount to more than the Federal
income taxes paid by the residents
of Wisconsin. Illinois, Indiana and
all states west of the Mississippi.
The insolvency of number of
railroads. and the economic dangers
facing the industry as a whole.
have justly worried many local
units of government. Many a
county literally lives almost entirely
on TIE tax revenue received from
railroad. And the railroads are
among the chief supporters Of school
districts. Their school taxes alone
come to more than 500, COCOON
year-enouRh to educate 100000
children. Destroy the railroads, or
make them tax exempt as they
would be under government owner
ship, and our educational system
would receive terrific financial
blow.
Taxes paid constitute just one Of
the tremendous economic contribu.
tiona made to all America by this
essential industry! It's no wonder
that economists. the press, govern.
ment officials and other thinking
people are urging that legislation to
help the rails regain their economic
feet, be framed Immediately by
Congress.

Would Put Speed
Limit on Highways

Passenger cars and trucks and
busses would be placed under
speed limits for day and night
driving under terms of a bill
sponsored by Rep. Anderson of
Phillips. His bill would permit
cars to travel SIS miles per hour
by day and cut them to As at
night.
A similar bill was defeated at
the last legislature. The present
highway patrol law sets no speed
limit except on marked curves
t40 miles per hour) and through
towns and cities (25 miles per
hour, but a driver can be arrest
ed for reckless driving at any
