Coach Harrington Wins Belt-Choteau
Basketball Game tor His Home Team
Bringing his basket ball shooters
here evidently with the purpose of
winning the game whether the meth
ods employed would pass muster as
-* good sportsmanship or not, Coach
Hamngton of the Teton County high
school, without invitation or pre-ar
ranged understanding, went onto the
floor last Friday night to umpire the
game between his team and the Belt
Valley high, and through what is de
clared by all who witnessed the play,
to have been impartial decisions as an
official and bull-dozing of the referee,
' succeeded in his purpose by the nar
row margin of two points. ,
But in spite of Coach Hanngton s
unfairness, it was the best game seen
rection of Bill 1 luhr the Belt team
is rapidly developing. Ihe defensive:
work of the Belt Valley High is now
very nearly Perf^-t. though there
stiU remains considerable opportunity
for improvement on the offensive. In
Choteau. Belt had a worthy opponent.
without the aid of their coach, and
whlleiti. M that without tbi.. id
the final results would have been re
versed, the game would have been a
very good one. In the first half, the
score of which was 7 to 5 in favor of
Belt Johnson was replaced by ^
»« for the locals, and in the beginning 0 f
(kp «fsrond half Pattsner was nut out
of the game on personal fouls, being :
replaced by Gossac, thus weakening.
the play of the locals. Jackson, for I
Choteau. was also sent to the bench j
in the second half on personal fouls, j
and O'Neill put in. However, O'Neill
suffered a sprained ankle in bia first j
few minutes of play, and was replaced
by Anderson. Fifteen fouls, seven of
them personal, were called on Belt,
while only nine, eight of which won j
personal, were called on Choteau. The i
lineup was as follows: I
Belt— Position Choteau
Pattsner R. F. Dow

The State Taxpayers' Leajrue does
not look good to the county organiza- j
tion, which met last Thursday even -1
ing and repudiated the state organiza -1
tion, which is characterized as a body î
of politicians with a "framed up" pro-,
gram for the personal benefit of the
promoters. This at least is the gist
of the charges against the state lea
gue and the county organization voted t
to have nothing to do with it. The
sentimerlt against the state organiza
tion was so strong that the Cascade
league was not disposed to even con
sider it under the name of a state
organization of taxpayers.
The motion providing for the with
drawal of the Cascale county organi -1
ration from the state body passed un- I
animously. It was introduced by

did not come into being for the pur
pose of solving the tax problems of
the people. His belief was concurred
: in by several of the Cascade county
, league officers who attended a few
ol the sessions held in toe Rainbow
Hotel when the sUte association was
u hi , ,
formed.
H. Norskog, who was chairman of
the meeting, urged the association to
take the steps necessary to reduce
Cascade county to the rating of a
fourth class county and thus elimt
nate a great deal of the public ex.
nate a great deal of the public ex.
vroue. He declared that there was
no reason why this county should be
grouped as a second class county ex
cept that some of the office holdere
and politicians could profit more by
t 8UK '
geated that the association make rec
^Z d * U Zl tOT a ^ educt, ® n ln , the
. taxable valuation of the county and m
that manner bring about a lower clas
sification.
A resolution authorizing the com
. mittee on county affairs to confer
with the county commissioners and
Cuonty Assessor Harold Mady and)
demand that steps be token to reduce '
Cascade county to a fourth class rat ,
mg, was^ adopted by the association,
The resolution proposed that the low
er classification be attained by a de
, r*»* 8 « » taxable valuation of the
county. - _— - -—
(governor Joseph M. Dixon was
commended in a resolution for the;
stand taken by him in urging the,
abandonment of the staU- fair for the

It is expected that the Belt Valley

On Friday night they will play a re

St. Paul offices of the railroad com
pany. The firm has had assurance
that the permit will be issued and it
is expected at any moment, and upon
j its arrival work will be immediately
begun upon the chute, the completion
i of which will require about 30 days,
| it is estimated. The material and
equipment for the chute are upon the
g r o u nd . Addrttmrtl mtnc care have•
been ordered and delivery of the first
shipment is expiectod in ample time,
for the beginning of operations on a
more extended scale.
It is not expected that production
can be greatly increased at once,
rather the operations for the present
will be toward a greater future pro
duction. The property has b«n taken

iextending over a two year period,
When asked as to a market for the
coal, Messrs. Wilmot and Griffith
were non-committal, but did say they
had « market that would insure the
employment of a large force of men
and require consuderable equipment,
The firm ha^ taken a year's lease
on the entire upper floor of the Chas.
Dahl building on the comer of Bridge
and Main streets which will be used
for office purposes, while the
rooms will be utilized for sleeping
quarters, kitchen and dining room, it,
being the intention of the members
of the firm to make a home as well
as office out of the leased quarters,
Water is now being piped to the
rooms and a cess pool to care for the
sewerage constructed. Office equip-1
ment and supplies have already ar-j
rived here for the equipment of the
rooms. It is expected that when ac-j

Wilmot and Griffith will spend most
of their time here, while Mr. Hoyt
will be in charge of the Great Falls

The building was owned by Ben J.
Kennedy of Belt and Walter Kennedy
of Missouls, and was occupied by the
Ross Mercantile company on the
north side and the post office and
Public l>rng store on the south stdw. j
Fire soon spread to the Freseman I

and both were completely destroyed,
By heroic work of volunteers the
fire was confined to these buildings, !
although re

Oeor je Westrum and family was
badly burned on the south side. That
the building was saved was due to he-i

side, fire breaking out several times
but was kept under control with but
slight loss.
