She was born In New York city,

BENNION NOTES
TAXLEVY CUT
SAYS THEY'LL BE LOWEST FOR
DECADE IN EASTERN AND
NORTHEAST AREAS

Secretary Fred Bennion of the Mon
tana Taxpayers association says coun-
ty tax leVieS in eastern and north
eastern Montana will be the lowest in
the last decade, with cash balances
greatly increased at the same time.
Levy reductions have been made
possible due to heavy collections of
delinquent taxes and the sale of tax
deed land and the fact that most
counties are keeping budget expendi-
lures within normal revenues" he
said.
1.-THE counties are eliminating pro-
visions for the purchase of new equip
ment and other capital outlay expen-
ditures during the coming year.
More counties will operate ON less
than 6-mill poor fund levy this year
than ever before. While representa-
tives for old age assistance and aid to
dependent children have been in
creased, general relief shows a sub
stantial cut and WPA Is practically
out of the picture.
1.-THE counties are spending for poor
fund purposes amounts practically
equal to what would be derived from
normal revenue, but surplus cash OBJ
tanned from delinquents and other
sources is being used to reduce levies
and build up reserves.
Daniels county has proposed a levy
of 28.5 mills this year compared with
80 last year and so the preceding year.
Last year the Daniels county school
leVies were so percent less than the
preceding year. Further reduction win
be shown this year.
Tin Dawson county the levy for all
purposes, including the county high
school and general school levy, in 1910
was As mills. 1t dropped to AZ mills in
1871 and is expected to be IS mills
for 1942-1943.
'NcCone county cut its levy from
% to 25.5 mills, but the largest re-
duction was made in school levies.
The high school levy was cut from
los mills to less than s. Most school
districts will not require any levy.
Phillips county, on the other hand,
will require about the same levies as
last year. If it were not for extra cash
on hand, the county would need to
make big reductions in various budget
items"

Flaherty, Jack Clarity, Hec Cyre.
Fanny Hunting, Mel Ingram and other

BEAVER BROUGHT
FIRST SETTLERS
INTO NORTHWEST

Continued from Historical Page)
guns that were unusually long, were
provided for the fur traders.
1t did not take long for the enter
prising Dutch and Yankees to virtual
ly exterminate the beaver in the east,
and trade followed it westward. OF
our American traders, Manuel Lisa
was the first to realize that the north
west was richer in beaver, and he
profited by acting on this knowledge,
as did those who came after him
There was no better beaver country
than that controlled by the Piegans,
and which was in Montana. From here
went countless peltries to the markets
Of the world. But little of the wealth
they brought returned here, and that
little was in form Of pay to traders
and trappers, Indian goods, and al
cohol to debauch the natives.
The fur trader had no interest save
In exceptional cases, In this country
outside of its value as a fur-producing
locality. He looted it, and moved on.
1t was mgch the same with the miner.
Those who first came here had but
one purpose, to speedily make a for
tune and spend it elsewhere. The
Jesuit fathers were more far-seeing.
They at once began to develop the ag-
ricultural resources of the country and
Travelled hundreds Of miles to obtain
seed for their experiment.
1t was thought, because Of the cli-
mate and the altitude, that nothing
would grow here, and the pioneers
were as skeptical on the subject as
those Flatheads at st. Mary's, who
perched on the fence about the grain
field to see if the wheat would really
sprout
Nothing to Draw Settlers
AS the population of the country
increased In the course of time Mon
tana would have been settled, but not
at so early a date as it was. Up to
the Rockies extended the great Amer
lean desert. Over this desolate waste
roamed many tribes of hostile In
dams Innumerable wild animals were
there and long, serrated range of
mountains extended north to south
across the continent. There was moth
ing here to attract settlers. The fur
traders were the first explorers. and
these made the task more easv for
the government explorers who came
later.
Was it not a United States senator
who said he would not give a pinch
Of snuff for any Of this country west |
Of the Mississippi" And jefferson |
great statesman that he was, claimed
that there would be no settlements IN
This section Of the country for a hun
dred years.
Lewis and Clark, Bonneville. and
Fremont, helped to tighten the ignor-
ance Of the people regarding the west
All OF these expeditions were greatly
aided by what they learned from the
Tappers. The discovery OF gold
brought many to Montana, some of
whom made it their home, but gold
might not have been found here so
early, had it not been that fashion
1ecreed beaver hats should be worn
