among those in less than half
of Montana's principal cities and
towns who have a lighter tax
load to bear for expenses OF

Early Snow Storm
Damages Trees.
Delays Harvesting

Postponement of sugar beet
harvest and heavy damage to
trees were the result of a heavy,
wet snow which fell in this area
last Friday night.
Estimated at approximately
seven inches on the level, the
early snow caused heavy dam
age to many trees which had
not yet shed their leaves. Long
time residents of the city said
it was the most destructive first
snow of memory in this area.
The Holly Sugar corporation
weather station here recorded
III inches of precipitation dur
ing the storm and temperatures
dropped to a low of Is degrees
on Oct. 4.
City crews are busy this week
hauling broken limbs streWn on
property over the city.
The storm halted sugar beet
harvest here after one days de-
livery. Holly car stations had
opened Thursday and beet
farmers had begun to bring in
the seasons crop when the
snow fell.
Agricultural department Of
ficialS at Holly said that har-
vest was resumed on a small
scale yesterday wednesday,
afternoon and if fair weather
continues the harvest will be
in full swing by tomorrow or
Saturday.
If weather permits normal
delivery of beets, processing
probably will begin sometime
Saturday night or Sunday.

.Rippzing
OF the Rivers

National Newspaper week is
being celebrated this week
throughout the nation.
Looking back over the files
OF the Tribune-Herald we can
see that Hardin and vicinity has
come a long way since the pub
LEGATION of Volume 1, Number l
on Friday, Jan. 10, 1908.
Advertisements in the early
issues which still sound familiar
are those of the Hardin Hotel,
Finest hotel in Central Mon
tana"; Hardin Meat Market,
dealers in horses and CATTLE
and Carl Rankin, agent for Lin
coin Land Co, advertising real
estate and town lots;
The Hardin Hotel in 1908 was
managed by Robert Anderson
and the Hardin Meat Market by
Donald and Mouat.
An interesting news item in
an early issue tells of the or
ganization of the Hardin Com
mercial club with j. w. John
ston chosen as president; A. L.
Smith, vice president; Carl
Rankin, secretary, and E. A.
Howell, treasurer.
Projects of first Importance at
that time were a bridge across
the Big Horn at some point con-
venient to the town, organiza-
ton of a local company to SUD-
ply the town with water, build
ing of sidewalks, organization of
a local judicial district and the
appointment of a justice of the
peace and constable.
In regard to the building of
the bridge, the item says:
"ThiS matter is well under
way and will be brought before
the county boards of Yellow
stone and Rosebud counties. The
result. is problematical, but the
club hopes for satisfactory re-
suits, and if the outcome may
be adverse at this time there
will be found no disposition to
lay down. The effort will be
continued until victory perches
on the banner"
The present Big Horn County
Chamber of Commerce has the
same sentiments regarding con-
Struction of Yellowtail dam.
Appropriate enough during
National Newspaper Week is the
celebration of Newspaperboy
Day on Saturday, Oct. Z.
At the hour on Thursday
when our newSboys-and girls
assemble to await delivery of
their papers it becomes quite
a strain on the nerves, what
with all the noise, the arguing
for position in line, etc., etc,
but we think they are a pretty
good bunch of kids and the fol-
lowing is an appropriate tri-
butte to any one of them:
Your newSpaperboy is just a
boy Who hopes someday to
be -. A good and useful cit
izen in his community $50.
He brings the paper to your
door . In sunshine and rain
. And tries his best to show
no sign Of WEAKNESS or
He makes his collections
faithfully And keeps his
own accounts And as his
savings slowly rise His self
assurance mounts 49,.
In school he pays attention to
The lesson of the day =.
And when he has some time to
spare He turns to healthy
play ...
Your carrier is just a boy -.
Who does the best he can {.
To grow in strength and char
acter And serve his fellow
man.

Koreo Sideliehts:
BY the Associoted Press

WITH U. S. TROOPS IN
SOUTH KOREA. Aug. IAN
American sergeant who fed Red
captured Chinju said yesterday
three American tanks badly
needed for defense of the city
sat on a railway siding for four
days because they lacked fan
belts.
THE tanks never got into ac-
ton or fired a shot" he declared
"and when I left Chinju Is crew.
men were waiting in hopes fiat
cars would arrive on which they
could get the tanks out. They
were under orders to destroy the
tanks if train didn't arrive"
A general officer later confirmed
that orders had been given to
destroy the tanks rather than let
them be captured, and said he
felt sure the order had been
obeyed.
An investigation is under way
to determine why the tanks were
without fan belts despite two
emergency air shipments.
A headquarters officer said one
shipment of belts turned out to be
the wronz size and a second box
that was flown to Chinju was
found to contain pistols instead.

Macarthur Refuses
Chang S Offer Of Aid,
Warns Chinese Reds
BY the Associated Press

TAIPEI, Formosa, Aug. l.
Gen. Macarthur flew back to
Japan today after war talks with
Chang Kai-Shek that cheered
up this island remnant of Ma
tional China.
Gen. Macarthur turned down
Chiang's renewed offer Of $4,000
Nationalist troops to fight with
United Nations forces in Korea.
"Such action at this time might
so seriously jeopardize the de-
fense of Formosa that it would be
inadvisable, Gen. Macarthur
said in a statement.
But Gen. Macarthur gave a
stern warning to Communist
China, whose troops are reported
massed on the coast 100 miles
west of Formosa for an attempted
invasion of Formosa.
Such an attack would, in my
opinion, stand little chance of
success" the general said.
Coordination Planned.
Gen. Macarthur said plans
have been made to coordinate
American and Chinese forces
"the better to meet any attack
which a hostile force might be
foolish enough to attempt
American warships, under
President Truman's June 27 Or
der to protect Formosa, are pa
trolling the strait between the is
land and Red China lin force"
Gen. Macarthur noted that
"the policy has been enunciated
that this island. including the
Pescadores, is not under present
circumstances subject to military
invasion.
1T is my responsibility and firm
purpose to enforce this decision"
he said.
Gen. Macarthur. who had
patted Chang affectionate1y on
the shoulder when he arrived here,
praised the generalissimo' fight
ing spirit.
1T has been a great pleasure
for me to meet my old comrade-
