In preceding advertisements we have shown that all the Taxes paid in Montana by this
Company were paid upon property acquired in connection with, and necessary to, its
mining operations. The natural query, therefore, is this:
What do these Tax payments amount to'/'
*(
In 1923, the State levied Taxss for its General Fund amounting to $1,560,000. Of this amount,
the Anacopida Company paid $187,821, or
$12 out of every $100 the State Collected
The same year, the Anaconda Company paid a TOTAL Montana Tax bill amounting to

Cheering News
Lewistown—The recent compara
lively steady increase in the price of
wheat, due to the world shortage, is
reflected in the publication of a new
and higher 8chedule of advance8
the Montana wheat pool according to
announcement at headquarters of the
Montana Wheat Growers' asociation.
Today pool officials are advancing
90 cents a bushel on No. 1 hard spring,
and No. 1 dark northern spring in the
eastern Montana district, and 86 cents
on the same grades in the western
district. This is an advance of five
cents over the previous schedule on
this grade. The advance on No. 1
dark hard winter, in the eastern dis
trict, is 86 cents, and in the western
district 80 cents. This is an advance
on tnis grade of wheat,
n iu ueuut u>er kue previous stueUuiO
These advances, the statement ex
plains, are only the initial payment of
the pool members, made when the
wheat is first delivered. The balance
of the price is paid to the members at
various times during the season, end
ing with a final payment when the
pool closes in the spring, that brings
^ nid P r ' ce U P t* the average for
the season for the grade delivered.
Ä The steady increase in the wheat
price this fall is going to prove the op
portunity for the greatest advance
ment of the wheat pools, say pool
by'members, because it wll enable the
wheat poolers to sustain the average
price upon a higher level than hereto
fore. The outlook, they say, is bet
ter for the wheat pools than it has
ever been before,
