Rippling
of the Rivers
While in Helena last week at
tending a highway commission
hearing on Highway No. 8, one
Hardin resident decided to
make a call upon Governor
Hugo Aronson.
The story is told by one of
his companions that this Har
dinite went to the governor’s
office and informed the secre
tary that he wished to see
Governor Aronson.
“Do you have an appointment
with the governor?” the secre
tary asked.
“No,” replied the prospective
visitor, “but the governor called
on me last fall without an ap
pointment and I was glad to
talk with him. Now, I just want
to repay the visit.”
He didn’t get to see the Gal
loping Swede, but the reason
was that the governor didn’t
happen to be in at the
moment.
Slips that pass in the night:
It seems almost impossible
that, after diligently reading
and checking proofs, a story
can come out in a newspaper
containing a word meaning di
rectly opposite the one intend
ed. But it happened to us.
In last week’s issue of the
T-H, in an item concerning su
gar beet harvest, the Holly ag
riculturalist was quoted as say
ing that field tests on the 1953
crop indicate that average
yield and sugar content will be
well “below” average.
Well, the agriculturalist very
plainly told us that yield and
sugar content are expected to
be well “ABOVE” average, and
honest, we meant to type it
that way.
Some days it just doesn’t pay
to get out of bed.
It may be that some day
farmers of Big Horn county will
be raising weeds at a profit.
We don’t know how strong the
demand is for them, but this
week a carload of a weed we
call “rosin weed” was shipped
by rail from Hardin to a drug
manufacturing company in
Lyndhurse, N. J. The car came
to Hardin partly full and a
number of farmers in this area
completed the carload here.
We didn’t learn the exact
price being paid for the weed,
but reports have it that a fan
tastically high price is being
paid for the product. In fact
the price mentioned was so
fantastic that we wouldn’t re
peat it without confirmation,
but from what we heard, we,
personally, must have hoed,
pulled or plowed under a for
tune in rosin weed during our
several years spent as a kid on
the farm.

Following a slow first quar
ter, Lester Muhlbeier took the
ball on an off tackle play in
the second quarter and went
around right end 50 yards for
the first touchdown of the

DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF BIG HORN COUNTY
Hardin, Big Hom County, Montana
Revenue Agent Begins Work in Big Horn
County in House-to-House Tax Check
An Internal Revenue agent
has begun work in Big Horn
county in connection with a
house-to-house canvass to de
termine delinquent federal
taxpayers being conducted
throughout the state, according
to information from Thomas M.
Robinson of Helena, district di
rector of Internal Revenue.
The director said it would be
helpful if all taxpayers have
duplicate copies of their in
come tax returns available, if
such copies are handy, for the
inspection of internal revenue
agents when they call.
Robinson said the door-to
door canvass for delinquent
taxpayers recently was tried
out in some of the Eastern dis
tricts, and was later authorized
in all districts of the United
States by T. Coleman 'Andrews,
commissioner of Internal Rev
enue.
Commenting on the canvass
in Montana, Robinson said,
“While this may be somewhat
annoying to taxpayers who
have complied with all re
quirements, it is my sincere
hope that everyone will be tol
erant and cooperative with my
men, as the purpose of such
a canvass is good, and abso
lutely necessary in accordance
with instructions from our bu
reau in Washington, D. C.”
The district director an
nounced that he had recently
received a wire from Andrews
in regard to the canvass for
delinquent tax returns, in
which the commissioner stated,
in part:
“Revenue service officials
were instructed on the types
of information needed to de
cide on the best mehtods. They
also were told that programs
which had not already been
announced or started should
not be started until they had
School Enrollment

“The total enrollment of pu
pils in the schools of district
17-H is down slightly from last
year,” according to H. R. Sal
yer, superintendent of schools,
figures for the current year
this week.
Total enrollment to date is
1,377 compared to 1,390 last
year. Salyer said. He pointed
out that the Crow Agency
school is the only one in the
district which showed an in
crease in enrollment over last
year.
Enrollment figures read as
follows:
Hardin grade school, 495; St.
Xavier school, 124; Crow Agen
cy school, 265; Wolf school. 4;
Spring Creek school, 10; Har
din junior high, 259; Hardin
senior high. 220.
The enrollment at the Crow
Agency school last year was
248, Salyer said.
STUDENT TEACHER
Ed Jabs of Hardin is among
54 seniors at Montana State
college, Bozeman, who are get

end of the half.
Eugene Hauck tallied the
third touchdown for Hardin as
the Bulldogs advanced straight
up the field on a series of line
plays after the kick-off which
started the third quarter. De
vore again converted the extra
point.
Duane Tinnes tallied the
lone score for the Locomotives
on a play from the 5-yard
strips, going through the line
for the touchdown after the
Locomotiwes had advanced up
the field from the 50-yard
mark.
In the starting lineup for the

included the best methods used
by other areas, so that new
programs would get the maxi
mum results.
“Unfortunately, this was in
terpreted to mean that the
canvassing program had been
stopped.
“This is not the case. On the
contrary, the results already
obtained and the experience
and knowledge gained from the
different types of canvassing
have shown conclusively that
well-organized and well-direct
ed canvassing is necessary and
highly productive from the
standpoint of tax revenues.
Consequently, the canvassing
programs will be continued,
and begun where none have
already been started, as has
been previously announced.
“Far from being halted, the
canvassing program will be
stepped up and intensified on
the basis of the techniques
that have proved to be most
effective,” the commissioner
said.
Big Horn County Stockmen Vote to Ask
For Federal Price Support on Livestock
A representative group of
stockmen of Big Horn county
voted in favor of asking the
federal government to begin a
program for the support of
livestock prices, when a poll
was taken at a meeting in Har
din last Saturday night.
The meeting was called by
the Big Horn County Livestock
association officers and direc
tors for the purpose of dis
cussing the situation. Archie O.
Wilson of St. Xavier is presi
dent of the association, and
Bert W. Kronmiller, secretary
treasurer, acted as chairman
for the open discussion at the
meeting.
A petition asking for cattle
support prices, submitted at the
meeting, was modified to ask
that cattle prices be supported
only until supports on feed
products expire in 1954, at
which time the stockmen rec
ommended discontinuing sup
ports on both stock and feed
products.
A major spokesman for
those opposed to asking for
support prices was Pete Hanks
of Kirby who pointed out that
price supports would inevitably
lead to government control of
the livestock industry. He sta
ted that he does not favor such
control, and said it is his be
lief that falling cattle prices
will soon level off and supply
and demand would adequately
govern prices in due time.
Stating that he was also op
posed to government control of
the industry, M. H. Tschirgi
pointed out that livestock price
supports are the only solution
to the stockmen’s problem so
long as the price of feed pro
ducts is supported by the gov
ernment. He said that cattle
support prices should be im-

Highway 8 Boosters Heard
^“Commission in Helena
A delegation of 33 residents
of this area were told by the
Montana Highway commission
in Helena last Thursday that
10 miles of Highway No. 8, from
Custer Battlefield east, are
now in the process of program
ming for immediate construc
tion, and that it is the inten
tion of the commission to con
tinue on the balance of the
road as early as possible.
The delegation, which attend
ed a hearing before the com
mission, was composed of resi
dents of Lame Deer, Birney,
Kirby, Crow Agency, Lodge
Grass, Hardin and Billings, and
the surrounding communities.
Included in the group, in addi
tion to those who acted as
spokesmen were Mrs. Jack Ar
nold of Birney, state represen
tative from Rosebud county;
State Senator W. B. Spear, Jr.,
of Kirby; Clyde Hawks of St.
Xavier, state representative;
Geo. R. Pierce, Yellowstone
county state representative, and
the Big Horn county commis
sioners, Cary V. Mabe, Clyde
Dygert and C. S. Starina.
Bert W. Kronmiller of Har
din introduced those who spoke
for the delegation.
Mrs. Gerald Williams of Cus
ter Battlefield antique shop
presented petitions containing
1,500 names asking for sur
facing of 104 miles of Highway
No. 8, between Custer Battle
field and Broadus.
Mrs. Arnold stated that rural
electrification in the area is a
step toward development of
the natural resources, includ
ing lumbering and coal min
ing, but that further develop
ment now awaits adequate
transportation facilities, which
completion of Highway 8 would
furnish. Dygert told the high
way commissioners that the
road now is in poor condition
and stated that the need is
great for a surfaced road for
transportation of livestock
raised in the area. He said
that his trucking company
alone trucked 1,500 head of
livestock from the area last
season. Senator Spear also
commented on the livestock
transportation problem.
Al Schaar, sales agent for the
Buckingham Transportation
Co., advised the commission
that his company has an MRC
permit to haul freight to all
towns along the incompleted
section of Highway 8, but that
the company had to discontinue
such service due to the poor
condition of the road.
i He pointed out that High
way 8 is 90 miles closer from
Rapid City to Billings than by
the Wyoming route. The trans
portation rate is based on
mileage, with a minimum oper
ation of 42c per mile. Comple
tion of Highway 8 would make
possible a definite saving to

and grey tile covering.
Large cutouts of nursery fig
ures have been placed on the
walls and new diraperies carry
ing out the grey and flamingo
motif in a block print are at
the windows. Attractive light
ing fixtures have also been
added to the children’s room.
Additional shelves and tables
all scaled to miniature size for
the use of children have been
built with main attractions
listed as the slant top table
and bench for small “browsers”
and the upholstered circular
seat built around one of the
pillars. The table and seat were
designed and built by Walt
Sawyer while the upholstering
was done by Mrs. Earl Marsh.
The children’s room also
boasts a new American flag re
cently donated by the American
Legion Auxiliary.
The stacks formerly blocking
off the children’s department
on the main floor have been
removed and replaced by the
magazine files resulting in a
large reading room. Another
feature of the reading room is
an “all-Montana shelf” con
taining books on Montana his
tory. A large oxen yoke has
been placed above the shelves
housing these books.
Much credit is due the librar
ians, Mrs. Laura Carter and
Mrs. Cecil Holland, for their
work in painting and arranging
the new rooms. Miss Marian
Russell also assisted the li
brarians with the painting.
Mrs. Holland has been placed
in charge of the children’s room
and the basement entrance in
to the room has been opened,
permitting youngsters to enter
their domain directly without
disturbing adult readers and
students on the main floor.

and other points in Montana,
Scharr said.
Carl Pearson, of Lame Deer,
superintendent of the Cheyenne
Indian reservation, expressed
the opinion that Indians and
other residents of the area
would derive major benefit
from employment in mining
and lumbering activities which
would be developed if the high
way is completed. Lyman
Brewster of Birney, chairman
of the Montana Livestock Com
mission, spoke on behalf of the
livestock industry, describing
the pressing need for trans
portation facilities in the area.
Hawks also commented on the
subject.
The meeting was opened for
general discussion during
which time others of the dele-

In summing up, Kronmiller
pointed out that the federal
government is responsible for
construction of highway in the
area which traverses reserva
tions and national forests. This
constitutes approximately 80
miles of the road at the pres
ent time, he said. He called to
attention the fact that fee pa
tents now being issued to In
dia lands decrease the percen
tage of federal funds for con
struction and make necessary
a greater amount of state
matching funds.
