Montana Counties
Cut Their Debts
By OUer Million

A decrease Of more than 81 900 900 In
debts was made by the Sc Montana
counties during the fiscal year end
ing June 30. 1871, the state board OF
equalization reported.
They placed the total net county
debt at approximately s5,1l7,3l5, the
lowest in 80 years.
Heavy delinquent tax payments cou-
pied with good current collections were
credited by the board with making the
result possible. The figure applied only
to county obligations and not to school
district and city indebtedness. although
school districts and cities made ma
terial progress in debt reduction.
Taxpayers in the majority of coun-
ties will derive immediate benefits, the
board said, as real property taxes will
be considerably less when payments
fall due in November and May
Decreased debts, resulting in re-
duced interest and principal demands,
was a primary factor in reduced mill
levies by majority of Montana coun-
ties.
Heavy delinquent tax payments are
expected in the current fiscal year with
farm, livestock and mining activities
on the present satisfactory level and
the tax moratorium expiring May 81.
1892, the board added.

Hit Price Ceilings
For Farm Products
At Chicago Meeting

There should be no price ceilings
imposed upon farm products until ag-
riculture has attained full economic
equality with industry and labor. and
even then flexible price sterilization
should be the governments policy
not price pegging. This was the unan-
imous decision reached by 500 farm
leaders from 30 states who attended
the national emergency farm meeting
held recently at Chicago
Condemning the price limitation of
ITO percent Of parity on farm COM
modities in the administrations price
control bills now before congress, the
delegates declared that under no con-
ditions should price parity interpre-
tations be made or be authorized to
be made in any so-called price CELL
ing legislation unless a relatively per-
feet balance is established and main
tanned between the prices OF agri-
cultural products and the rates Of in
dustrial wages"
The emergency farm meeting, called
by the National Cooperative Milk
Producers federation, consumed a day
and a half studying a wide variety
of legislative and administrative prob
lens affecting agriculture, and con-
cluded by adopting vital nine-point
program. This platform Is intended
as basis upon which farm organi-
cations can not only work toward the
desired economic balance, but also pro-
tect the interests of agriculture under
the stress OF the national defense eff
fort.
I'VE consider the present methods
used by the government to determine
parity Anticipated and untitled to meet
the present needs OF farmers" the
meeting resolved. I'VE resent the con-
ception that what an American farmer
had 10 years before the world war is
good enough for today!"

LOUIS STADLR, 81,
TAKEN BY DEATH

Louis Stadler. 90. pioneer Montana
cattleman and former member Of the
famous Stadler and Kaufman live
stock firm. died recently at the family
home at Helena. where he had lived
for g. years.
The aged cattleman and prominent
Helena resident for u years, had been
Ill about 8 week. Born in Karlsbad
Austria, on June 6. l849, he came to
the United States and to Helena in
1859.
Louis E. Kaufman. the man who
was to help him build an enormous
cattle business on Montana ranges. had
come to the state from Germany three
years before when the placer camps
of Last Chance and Alder gulches were
filled with miners. Soon the two
formed a partnership to supply meat
TO the thriving gold camps, where food
was more important than the yellow
metal.
The two first acquired a small herd
OF cattle, and in 1872 bought a number
of Oregon cattle at Wolf Greek. with
which they started herd in the Prick
ly Pear valley. In 1879, the herd had
grown until more range was needed
and the men moved to the Judith Ba-
sin after forming the Judith pool.
group Of stockmen united for protec-
ton to Craze their animals In that area.
The partners made their home on
Arrow Greek in northwestern Fergus
county, and in 1882 moved their head
quarters ranch TO Utica on the Judith
river
During the winter of 1861 young
cowpuncher working for the partner
ship drew a picture of the condition
of Judith Basin cattle which strikingly
depicted the tragic losses of all central
Montana ranchers. The cowpuncher
was Charles NJ. Russell and the picture
was Waiting for a Chinook or the
Last OF the Five Thousand which
made both the artist and the Stadler
and Kaufman ranch nationally IA
nous.
The partners treasured the original
Russell drawing for years as q grim
reminder Of the enormous losses of the
winter, losses which soon were made
up by good management and hard
work. The two also were associated
in other enterprises and Mr. Kaufman
died in 1888.
Mr.. Stadler had been a member of
the Helena Masonic lodge for so years
and the Helena Odd Fellows lodge for
IS years. He also was a member of
Scottish Rite. Shrine and the Helena
B. P. o. Elks lodge No. 1893. He cele-
DRAFTED his 92nd birthday June 6, at
which time a number Of old friends
and his entire family were with him
He is survived by his widow and q
son. George E. Stadler, both OF Helena:
son, Louis A. Stadler Of Baltimore
Nd; a daughter, Mrs. G. w. Gowen
Of Ames, Iowa, and four grandchildren.

Fort MissOuLa Has
History Which Began
In Days of Buffalo

Completion Of a 5000 engineering
project at Fort Missoula by the state
highway department will sever the
posts connection with a military his
tory which began when buffalo herds
roamed the plains
An army garrison during the years
when Missoula was a rough, western
trading post, the fort is not now con-
sidered an area concerned with ma
tional defense. 1t once was the home
Of negro troops who made history in
the Spanish-American war.
The highway department was no.
titled by the United States bureau
Of public roads that the area had been
removed from the national defense
classification and that when the pres
emf project was completed additional
federal funds for such work could not
be obtained
The department said the engineer
ing work probably would be finished
soon.
Several months ago soldiers stationed
at Fort Missoula were transferred to
service In Alaska, and the highway
department began general improve
ment Of roads on the reservation.
Now patrolled by United States Gus
toms Officers, Fort MiSsoula has been
converted into an internment camp
for italian seamen seized in coastal
hafbofs.
