County Obligated to
Clean Up DelinQuenCies

1t was learned the week at the
office of the county clerk and
recorder in Cut Bank, following
the determination of the Town
Council Of Browning last week to
collect the delinquent taxes out
standing against the property in
Browning, that the commission
ers of the county have of record
In their minutes standing instruc-
tlOns to the county clerk to reduce
to tax deed all of the property in
the county upon which no substan-
tial effort is or has been made by
the owner thereof to redeem the
same.
1t is the custom of the office of
the clerk to notify each land own
er of the intention to proceed I'M
less payment is made of some
substantial part of the delinquent
taxes.
The Montana legislature has
during the last three sessions de-
clared by law that owners of
property upon which there are
delinquent taxes may redeem the
same without payment of inter-
est or penalty thereon. The acts
are passed in the hope that home
owners may be able to redeem
their homes from taxes. By the
efforts of the Town Council and
the land owners in Browning it is
hoped that a substantial part of
these delinquencies may be paid
in order that the funds may be
available or needed improve
ments and also lower the assess-
ments now necessary in order to
raise the money needed to carry
Ion the administration of town af-
fairs.

Weather Change Is
Boon To Agriculture

An estimated quarter of mil
lion dollar wheat crop, still un-
harvested in Glacier county, is
being blessed by winds of recent
days. For several weeks snow
and rain had been threatening
the crop, moisture impairing the
nutrient part of the heads as
we'll as making prohibitive the
use of harvesting machinery.
The change of weather is a
boon to county agriculture, which
besides wheat. included substan
tial acreage in fax and mustard.

Indian Gridders
Suffer First Defeat

Browning's perfect seasons
record met with disaster at Con.
rad last Saturday night when
the local Indians met defeat at
the hands of the highly touted
Conrad Cowboys 10 to 6.
The first quarter opened with
Browning receiving and making
little gain, on third down a
Browning back fumbled on his
own 80 yd. line and this paved
the way for ConraG's first touch
down but they failed to make the
extra point and they led 6 to 0
at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter the In
dams played Conrad on virtually
even terms. Midway in this
quarter Romsa tossed a short
pass over the line to Pepion and
before he was tackled he lateral
ed to Edwards who ran unmtlest-
ed over the goal line, they also
failed to convert the extra
point.
The third and fourth quarters
were all Conrad's with the In
dams failing to penetrate their
forward wall only with short
gains. Meanwhile the Cowboys
were tallying two tOuchdowns
and one gratis point.
With Shelby's defeat at Cho-
teau last week it LEFT only two
undefeated teams in the confer
ence and they are Conrad and
Choteau. Should Browning win
the rest of their conference
games and Shelby defeats Con-
rad and Conrad beats Chcteau
there will be a tie between Con-
rad and Browning and there will
likely be a play-otf.
This Friday night Browning
entertains the Cut Bank Wolves
on the local gridiron under lights
at o. m. Last week Cut Bank
put up good account Of them
selves at Choteau before losing
l2l y. So if scores mean any
thing the Indians will have their
hands full to win over the Wolves
who will be out to avenge the
defeat handed them last year by
Browning.
