TAX AMENDMENT TO
BE VOTED ON AT
FALL ELECTION
Ls Montana to he advertised as
effectively and extensively in the
future as it has in the past two
years? This is a question which
will he decided at the polls this
fall. It is very certian that it will
not he if the tax amendment fails
which will he submitted at the fall
election, because if it does fail the
date will have practically no money
with which to conduct the adver
tising campaign through the pub
licity bureau. The amendment
provides that the state tax levy
shall remain the same as at present,
2*2 mills, until such time as the
isscssed valuation of property
within the state shall exceed $600,
>00,000, when it shall automatically
lecrease to IV2 mills. The present
'law provides that when the asses
sed valuation shall reach $300,000,
000 the rate shall decrease to l 1
mills. This year the assessed val
uation will go over that figure, and
unless the amendment carries the
state's revenue will he reduced to
$300,000or $459,000, which will he
far less than enough to run the state
government.
Nor will the publicity bureau be
the only department effected. The
ippropriations heretofore made to
the state educational institutions,
in addition to the revenue de
rived by them from the land
grants, will be lopped off. Instead
of more coal and quartz mining in
spectors, being employed to look af
ter the lives and safety of coal and
quartz miners, of necessity some,
will he taken off; instead of more
hank examiners being employed to
look after the financial soundness
of institutions in which Montana
people have deposited millions of
dollars, the force will be reduced;
and so it will go in every depart
ment, whereas the development
and expansion now manifested in
the state rightly requires that
there he increases instead of reduc
tions.
The situation in a nutshell was
explained by Governor Norris at
Billings in his address before the
Good Roads convention. "The in
come of the state for the last fiscal
year," said Governor Norris,
"placed to the credit of the general
fund was $1,260,426.15. The in
come for the present year may be
estimated at approximately $1,360,
426.15. There will be a consider
ible sum of cash on hand at the
close of the fiscal year, but except
for the decision of the supreme
court, which permits the levying of
a 2 V 2 mill tax this year, when the
assessed valuation will exceed
$300,000,000, there would have
been a large deficit.—Kalispell

WE HAD SOME REAL
REFRESHING RAIN
Rain lias been such a scarce arti
cle all over this northwest that
when we do get a little bit of
shower it is worthy of comment
the newspapers. To say that
rained" would hardly be describ
ing it properly, or doing it justice
An editor of one of the weekly ex
changes has the right idea, and
makes note of last Friday's rain as
follows: —
"After many days of arid desic
cation, the vapory captains mar
shaded their thundering hosts and
poured out upon scorching humani
ty and the thoroughly incinerated
vegetation a few inches of 'aqua

SHOULD ORGANIZE TO
FIGHT FOREST FIRES
That the forest fires of the past
month are but a forerunner of worse
to come unless people give more
active heed to warnings, is the
tenor of a review of the fire situa
tion by the Western Forestry and
Conservation Association based up
the advices from private and
official fire-fighting agencies thru
out the northwest. August has
commenced with conditions infi
nitely more dangerous, for besides
increased dryness of the forests, due
to prolonged absence of rain, al
most continuous fire fighting lias
only kept in check innumerable
fires which still smoulder to he
fanned beyond control should st rong
wind prevail.
Thruout most of Oregon and
Washington, up to the present time,
more extensive organization by
timber owners and the forest service
than has ever existed before has
fairly well counterbalanced the un
usually great number of fires.
Most of them have lieen controlled
*
promptly. Nevertheless the aggre
gate of small outbreaks in valuable
timber represents heavy loss. The
Santiam, Klamath, Wallowa and
Hood River districts in Oregon, and
the Gray's Harbor and Colville dis
tricts in Washington have suffered
seriously. Three men and four
women have been burned to death
in these two states already, and the
season is not half over.
Since all the forces are fighting
day and night, with no time to
make reports, it is impossible to es
timate the damage done in Idaho
and Montana, though doubtless
there has been much exaggeration.
In Idaho, especially, where timber
owners' fire associations are hightiy
efficient, what seems an almost
hopeless situation lias been gotten
pretty well in check. In the Coeur
Alene district but three fires re
main not reported under control,
these being on Pine and Graham
Creek, near Wallace, and on the
est side of Lake Coeur d'Alene.
In Western Montana the situation
is about as bad as it can he, all
available help being enlisted with
out any certainty of the outcome
if rain does not soon intervene.
The Association emphasizes that
the most dangerous portion of the
season is still to come. There are
fires everywhere that are barely be
ing held in leash. New ones will ! ^'
overtax all existing organizations.
Since conditions threaten under
which fire may travel long dis
tances, timber owners are urged to
extend patrol beyond their own
tracts to all danger points. Estab
lishment of citizens' fire brigades is
advised, organizing in advance for
having help, leadership and equip
ment available without loss of time.
Cities and towns are asked to take
similar steps to supply men when
called upon, with arrangements for
transportation. Every citizen is
urged to spare, neither friend or
foe in reporting violations of the
fire laws, especially by campers,
land-clears and spark-emitting loco
motives. It is pointed out by the
Associations that if the warnings
widely circulated earlier in the sea
had resulted in such steps,

been largely avoided. They still

TIIE SPOKANE DERBY WINNER OK 1909.
Horsemen of the uorthwest are confidently looking forward to see a Ion*
list of broken track records at the Spokane Interstate Fair, held this year
Oct. 3 to 9. Their anticipations are based on three important factors in the
1910 meet: the purses, aggregating $20,000. over $0,000 more than was hung
up at last year's Interstate Fair; the fact that all of the best horses of the
northwest. Including California and western Canada, will race at Spokane—
the schedule of fair dates being far superior to that of last year—and the
condition of the track Itself, covered since 1908 with six Inches of new clay
top soil, raced over last year and enthusiastically pronounced by horsemen
the fastest half-mile track In the northwest, and perfected slot'». Vast season
Into an even faster track.
For the Spokane Derby, ruu, as usual, on the fourth day o! rtie fair. a
purse of $2,000 ls hung up this year—Just double the purse captured by Dfcau
man. winner of the derby last year and whose picture Is seen above.
The automobile races, which proved such an unqualified success last year,,
will be a feature of the race program this year, and there will be motorcycle
races, novelty races, Indian and pony races. Stake books and entry blanks-,
will be furnished on application to Secretary Robert H. Cosgrove.
