Browning Election
Monday, April 4

After considerable confusion
and misapprhension, preliminary
arrangements for the regular
Town election have been worked
out during the past few days,
according to an announcement
announced by w. R. Mcdonald,
attorney for the Town Council.
Due to absence of the regular
town clerk notices of election
have not been published, and no
little confusion has resulted.
There has been some doubt as to
the time limit for the filing of
petitions for the various offices,
it being quite generally under
stood that a thirty-day deadline
before the day of election was the
requirement of the statute pro-
viding for city and town elections.
However, the attorney has ruled
that a fifteen day limit is applic-

of his educational attainments in
his private life in later years.
Racine was born at Old Agency

ing his schooling he returned to
the Blacheet reservation, and
for time was engaged as a tim

Browning Boy Scout
Leader Attends Great
Falls Meeting Friday

R. N. Christensen, Browning
Scout leader, and family, were in
Great Falls Friday and Satur.
day attending a Scout program.
The program dealt with 1.-The
Church's Role in Scouting" D.
L. Roberts, national Boy Scout
representative, was the principal
speaker. He is co-ordinator be-
tween the churches and scout
ing.
Twelve ministers were in at
tendance and discussed the vari.
Gus churches role in scouting.
Scouts from Great Falls, Fair.
field, Goldenridge, Browning,
Vaughn, and Simms, attended the
meeting.
The Scouts presented a pro-
gram of Scout skills, musical
selections and told humorous
stories.
Saturday afternoon was devot.
ed to an informal discussion, led
by Roberts, on Relations With
Sponsoring Institutions, Finding
New Sponsors, and The Response

Annual School
Election to Be
Saturday, April 2

The annual school election will
be held Saturday, April 2 at the
Browning Elementary school be-
tween the hours of IL noon and
6 pm. Two trustees for school
district nine will be elected at
that time.
In addition to the election of
trustees, voters in the Browning
high school district will be asked
to vote on a special mill levy for
three mills. Two mills of this
amount will be used to increase
the cash reserve; one mill be used
for maintenance and operation of
the new high school.
During the past several years
the reserve in the high school
has sunk to a dangerous level
largely because the Bureau of
Indian Affairs has not paid the
amount of money promised by
it. The result has been that the
rapidly dwindling cash balance
had to be further depleted to
meet the schools contractual OBJ
legations.
Unless the cash balance is
adequate TO pay the operation.
al costs Of the school until the
tax monies come in in Deeem
ber, the school has no other
alternative but to register war
rants at s per cent interest.
AS a result of a recent meet
ing in Washington with the House
Sub Committee on Appropria,
tions it is quite possible that
Congress will award an addition
al $3.50, 10000 to schools in Mon.
tana educating Indian pupils liv-
ing on federally-owned tax ex-
empt land. If the money is not
forthcoming, then Browning pub
lie schools, together with every
other school in Montana with tax
exempt land will have its entire
cash reserve wiped out and will
be registering warrants before
May l.
Browning high school district
comprises districts l, 7, 8, 9, and
SO. Qualified voters are those
residing within the district who
are taxpayers and whose names
appear upon the last completed
assessment rolls of the county.
No special levy is anticipated for
support of the elementary
schools.

the original 5000 grant that
made the school possible.

Freak Fire Damages
Water Tower Here
Saturday Afternoon

A freak fire which started about
5 pm. Saturday at Browning
water tower did an estimated
damage of about $1,000. The fire
would have caused a much great
er loss had the blaze spread to
adjoining property.
Last summer the city spent
considerable money having the
stand-pipe replaced, and a heavy
covering of insulation put next
to the pipe, and this in turn en-
closed by metal coating.
Saturday afternoon, Tom Fon-
taine, who is looking after the
operation of the water plant,
started blow torch in what is
termed the basement" to do
some thawing. While away for
his evening meal, the blow torch
flame is supposed to have set
fire to the insulation around the
stand-pipe, and it started a slow
fire that eventually spread to the
entire heighth of the pipe. When
the heat came intense, the out
side metal covering burst, and
the insulation broke into flame.
The fire department did a good
job keeping the flames from
spreading to adjoining property.
No damage resulted except to the
tower.

Svpt. chas. S. Spencer
Attends Billings Meeting

Charles S. Spencer, superinten-
tendent of the Blackfeet Agency,
was in Billings last week being
briefed on the new re-organiza-
ton program.
Spencer said the plan is to place
forestry, grazing, S. M. c., irriga-
ton, and extension, under one
department to be known as Land
Operations.
Extension may eventually be
transferred to the state.
While there is no word at pres
est as to who will head the new
department, it is believed it will
be one of the present local EN-.
ployees.
