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 $1,102,605.99 TAXES IN 10 COUNTIES IN THE LAST 8 YEARS The principal Montana properties of this Company are located in 10 Counties.

Pof The KürmCrS - — 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, Automobile Accidents Increase - 1 Washington.—A total of 14,412 deaths from accidents during 1923 caused by automobiles ami other mo tor vehicles, excluding inutorcjcU», m shown in statistics assembled by Uk census bureau covering the death registration area of the United State*. which contains 81.6 j>er cent of the tu tai population.
