IS State Schools
Get $2S0,000
From Congress

AS a result of a meeting held
In Washington D. c. with members
Of the House Committee on
Appropriations, congress has
Voted a supplemental sum of
$280, $4,000 for IS Montana school
districts with Indian Education
contracts. The group of Montana
Educators headed by Mary M.
Condor had an hour long meet
ing with the appropriation COM
rnittee in the interest of the need
cd money.
The financial difficulty re-
suited from the creation Of a
set Of eriferis by the former
head Of the Billings Area
Office.
In spite of Miss Condon's warn
ing that the new criteria were
unrealistic and would require an
appropriation of $640,O 10000 al
most twice the amount of money
Formerly necessary, the former
9hSSloA oooulCo uOllLdud llldl
the money would be available.
After the budgets were set, the
Indian Bureau announced that
only half of the money would be
available.
Catastrophe would have result.
cd in all schools with Indian con-
Tracts had it not been for the eff
fectiveness of the special delega-
Ton who sought congressional
help. Schools with Indian con.
tracts always have an uncertain
time because of decreasing funds.
For the past several years the
money allotted was never equal
to the promised amount. Credit
for the success of the Washing
ton trip Is generally given to
Miss Mary M. Condor and X. w.
Bergan.

Joint Operation Of
Agency Hospital
Discussed at Meet

DR.. Duncan of Billings, area
medical officer, is scheduled to
be in Browning Friday to attend
a joint meeting of the Indian
Council, Browning town council,
Lions Club and other service or
CARNATIONS to be held in the Bar
racks Friday evening at 7:30.
Purose of the meeting will be
to discuss possibility of joint OPP
Grafton and use of the hospital
by this community when it is
turned over to the United States
Public Health Service.
While there has been some dis
cussion on the subject of turn
ing one wing of the hospital over
for use of the community, it is
believed to be unsatisfactory.
First, because it would seem to
be segregation, which is undesir-
able, and must be avoided, and
second, it would eliminate much
available and needed space for
the care of Indians.
1t is earnestly hoped some plan
can be devised whereby there can
be an expansion of the hospital
building itself. This would insure
care for all in the community and
would eliminate any question of
segregation.
The meeting Friday night may
be attended by anyone interested
in this problem. Superintendent
Charles S. Spencer of the Black
feet Agency, will attend.

1924 Top Acre
Bid at Land Lease
Sale Tuesday,

The much-heralded oil lease
sale scheduled to be held in
Browning on Tuesday of this
week came off on time, despite
the fact that raging blizzard
had marooned most of the pros
pective bidders in Cut Bank, but
the prices offered were not spec
tacular, the highest being S12.84
per acre bonus by the Union Oil
Company on land near the Morn
ing Gun we'll, and a low of $500,
and many proffered leases draw
ing no bids.
Several of the major companies
were represented, including Try
good, of Casper, Wyoming; Mo-
bile Production Company, Gulf
Oil Company, Sinclair Oil Co.,
Tidewater, Shell Oil Co, Sun Ray
Oil Co, and several independent
bidders, none of whom were sue
ceSSful in getting acreage.
There were total of $50 tracts
offered for sale, with 81 drawing
bids, and 60 on which no bids
were offered.
The sale was held at the High

-'AoiiseAie fey eiAS ih6hSok
prices in the United States for
acknowledgement brands of mer-
chandise because of diScrimina-
tory freight rates." J. G. Ihnet,
executive manager of the Mon
tana Citizens Freight Rate assoc
iation, told the United CONNER
cial Travellers at it's noon lunch
con meeting in Hotel Rainbow,
Great Falls last Saturday. Ihnet
is also the UCT president.
He presented a review of the
fight which started in 1858 to
bring about reduction in freight
rates for Montanans-as we'll as
the other western states.
The initial hearing, Ihnet said,
was conducted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in Deem
Der, 1858, and the concluding
session was held at Phoenix in
February. At that time, Ihnet
said the lCC declared the hear
ings closed, although California
asked for an additional session.
Next step in the freight rate
battle, he added, will be filing of
briefs to show why interim relief
should be given by the railroads
at the order of the ICC.
ut will be easy to show - in
these briefs - that the present
freight rate structure is discrim-
inatory against the west" Ihnet
declared.
Ihnet said the railroads already
have proposed an approximate
% per cent decrease in freight
rates affecting Montana and the
rest of the Rocky Mountain area
but proponents of the fight be-
lieve an amount larger than that
will be decreed by the ICC.

formula for steel-which requir-
ed "a years of court proceedings
TO defeat-brought about de-
Capitalization of the steel indus
try. AS soon as the formula was
ruled out, steel plants reached
to the sky in Utah and California,
he added
Now, Ihnet said, the same rul-
ing should be made for petroleum
products, sugar and other items.
The Tulsa plus" formula now
applies to oil, he added, with the
same net effect on the petroleum
industry-there is too much cen
traliZation.
The Tulsa plus" formula pro-
vides this result, Ihnet said:
Gasoline produced at Oklahoma
plants can be sold in Montana
for the same retail price as auto
fuel made in the Cut Bank area.
Sugar is under the same system,
he added.
AS an eXampleA Ihnet said, a
Billings wholesale grocer must
pay the same price for sugar pro-
duced in plant across the street
from him as if the sugar came
from California. This, he said, is

la.

SPRING?

After enjoying the mildest
winter weather in the memory of
the oldest Indians all through
December and January, this area
has been hit with extreme cold
spells and billiards since mid
February that also defies the re-
collection of the oldtimers to
match for severity and continual
ton into the spring season.
The severe weather of the last
few weeks reached a climax here
this week, with heavy winds and
snow that all but paralyzed traffic
on the roads, streets and high
ways, starting Monday afternoon
and lasting up until Thursday
morning. Sub-zero temperatures
prevailed during the nights, and
never got much above the zero
mark during the daytime. We'd
nesday night the temperatures
reached a low of close to 25 de-
grees below zero, but during
Thursday the skies cleared, the
wind stopped blowing and it is
hoped the arctic blast is on its
way out.
State Summary
The following story is printed
from the Great Falls Tribune of
Wednesday morning, showing
that the storm was general all
over the state:
Montana's worst spring storm
in three years continued undated
Wednesday night.
A full scale blizzard with 30-40
m.p.h. winds closed 10 rural
schools in the Flathead Valley.
Several country roads were block
ed by drifting snow.
Glacier National Park officials
at West Glacier said the worst
blizzard in several years was con-
tinuing in the park on the east
side of the mountains.
Ten inches of snow fell at St
Mary over Tuesday night Roads
to Polebridge and Many Glacier,
where construction projects are
under way, were blocked.
The Weather Bureau said in
Helena the storm will remain in
the state for the next 24-36 hours.
Bus, train, trucking and plane
schedules were maintained in
most areas in Montana Wednes-
day although airports at Helena,
Missoula and kalispell were
closed intermittcntly by low cell
ings.
The weather Bureau said an
Arctic cold front was colliding
with warm, moist front from the
Pacific Coast over the Rocky
Mountains and resulting in snow
Montana west of the continent
al Divide was receiving snow but
temperatures were mostly mild
The eastern side of the mount
ain barrier shivered under 5
below to Is above temperatures.
Snow continued to fall in Hell
ena and Great Falls at 8 pm.
r. A. Dightman of the weather
Bureau in Helena said Wednesday
night the snow would aid in build
ing up moisture for spring plant
ing.
However, Dightman said he
doubted if there would be enough
snow to alleviate reservoir short
ages in the southern sector on the
state.
This prolonged snow and cold
weather is hard on lambs and
calves" Dightman said. He point
ed out the season is still early and
lambing and calving is just begin
ming.
