Discusses Chance
For Federal Funds

Donald Boslaugh, Principal Of the
Lincoln County High School at Eur
eka. attended the meeting of the
State School Board Association al
Billings, Nov. 7 and 8, as a represen-
tative of the county high school
board
Mr.. Boslaugh reports that approx
imately five hundred delegates and
administrators were present from
all parts of Montana.
M. P. Moe, State Secretary of the
Montana Education Association, ex-
planned to the group the possibilities
of getting revenue from the Federal
Government which could be paid in
lieu of taxes on the Federally owned
lands and properties in Montana.
Calculated on two percent of the
property's taxable value for each
year this would bring to Montana
sum which has been variously
estimated from two to six million
dollars each year, and serve to re-
duce necessary tax levies. Mr.. Bos-
laugh introduced a resolution to the
group asking that they go on record
as recommending that such be asked,
or suggested to the U. S. Govern
ment The resolution was turned
over to the legislature committee of
the organization for further study.
The Montana State Board of
Equalization recently went on rec
ord as saying that there are $4,000
acres of Federally owned land in
Montana, which, if assessed at cur
rent 1eVies. would bring into the
various county treasures, $4,000,
10000 in taxes.
The Lincoln County school board
organization will make further study
of Mr.. Boslaughs report, as we'll as
other resolutions which will be pre-
sented to our next Legislature.
Seven first class districts paid
dues to the association, So of the
70 second class districts; IL of the
States 10 county high schools, and
1886 third class districts have joined
the association.

Pole FrdnninQ
Machine Saves
Heavy Labor
J. NeiIS Co. Has Valuable
Equipment for Preparing
Poles for Treatment
DESIGNED AND BUILT
HERE BY AL BECKER

Much interesting and valuable
equipment in use by the J. NeiIg
Lumber Co. has been designed and
perfected by men in the companyiH
employ. A machine which elimin--
mates most of the heavy labor con-.
nected with pole framing and load
| ing has been designed and built
by AL Becker, long time employees
with the Neils Company, having
worked for it at Cass Lake, MINI.
A Western News reporter is in
debted to Richard Neils for an IN
teresting hour spent in watching the
heavy equipment work and learn-
ing how the pole framing machine
functions. Mr.. Neils called atten-
ton to the top end of the pole in
which the framing machine drills
three holes, two through the top and
one through the side. The machine
also roofs the top of the pole to any
desired angle, and gives it a gain,
which IS a flat cut on the side 20
enable the cross arm to fit square
ly on the pole. The machine, stated
Neils, has an approximate eight
hour capacity of 500 poles.
AS tAlE pOte - DeluB framed the
equipment contains a device for
countersinking the brand tag. A
jump roll controlled by a man in
the operating tower removes cuIls
and of grade poles.
The poles are carried by powered
chains from the framing machine
to the loading machine. The load
ing machine is also handled by re-
mote control from the tower, and
loads the poles onto the retort cars
which carries them into the treat
ing watts. The machine has two
arms which will 60 back
wards and forwards, and raises and
lowers. Each arm is equipped with
a chain with shoulders attached
which hook the pole and carry it
to the retort car, easing it gently
down on the exact spot desired by
the operator.
This machine designed by Mr..
Becker is the only machine of its
kind in existence, and arouses the
admiration and envy of all pole
plant operators who watch it work.

and fawns, and 1919 were bucks
Last year with no antlerless season
1885 hunters were checked in the
area, bagging 80 bucks.
The deer which aroused the most
interest, was probably the doe shot
by Joe Ritzman of Libby while
hunting on Sterling Mountain. This
doe was unladylike enough to wear
3-point antlerS, which could easily
have doomed her to a legal death
during bucks only season. Five
deer with ear tags were taken up
to 80 miles distant from the tagging
point.
Only 253 Lincoln County hunters
checked into the doe area; Flathead
with 1874 furnishing the greatest
number during the hunt. Lake
County placed third with 1853 hunt
ers; Glacier, fourth with 106. San
ders had SO for fifth place, and Hill
held sixth with 81 hunters. Twelve
hunters were from out of state, com
ing from North Dakota, Wisconsin,
Washington and Idaho The six
counties mentioned as high on the
list furnished 1908 hunters. The re-
manning 26 of the 80 Montana coun-
ties represented sent ZIG hunters.
Every corner of the state except
Carter in the extreme southeast, was
represented.
The statistics of the hunt are fur
nished this office by Jack Schmautz
of the state game departments bio
logical staff Mr.. Schmautz states,
that of the 44O does and fawns
taken, there were 1856 Whitehall does;
l06 Whitehall buck fawns; ITO white
tail does fawns; "a muledeer does;
two muledeer buck fawns and two
muledeer doe fawns. Whitehall

.KOOtendi Trees
Go To Markets
East and West

Beginning about October / of each
year and ending about December 1,
the commercial Christmas tree har-
vest for Northwestern Montana is
in full swing. Within the Kootenai
Forest over a million trees are ship
ped annually. National Forest
Christmas tree sales furnish about
$3.50 of these trees or about $4,000
annually. This year there are 1853
separate Christmas tree sales on the
Forest with an expected gross re-
'ceipts of about $22,000.O0.
Practically all of the Christmas
trees shipped are Douglas fir. How
ever. $50 lodgepole pine were cut
on the Libby district and their des-
tination will be Wisconsin.
The records show that 3.579,37l
Christmas trees have been cut on
the Kootenai for the years 1929 to
l948 inclusive. The cut on the For
tine district, the largest producer of
trees, is not of record prior to 1884
when it was part of the Blackfeet
Forest.
Not only does this industry fur
nish seasonal employment for some
AoO 4OCdl PS0PAC, Dul II bAl4lBS III oh
income of an estimated 100000 an
nually to the people of Lincoln
County.
When trees are properly cut, the
effect on the productivity of the for
est is further aided Douglas fir,
suitable for Christmas trees, gen
orally grows on the dry sites, most |
often best suited for growing pom
derosa pine. The cutting of the fir |
released pine or opens up the stand |
to establish the pine.

One important point stressed by
Miss Mary M. Condor, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction,
was that school district board meet
ings, were the best place that people
have to practice democracy, and to
make it really work at home In
order to do this, states Miss Con-
don, the boards need to take an

to solve their own local problems,
