e ~ %* “ ™“e “ ™“ * * ~ Wor the first three Soa 41 bills have been Introduced in the senate and 90in ihe house. Of the 41 senate bills, five have been killed in committée and two have been peorek ag has senate joint memorial 1, congress to make farm units on federal reclamation projects taxable. Of the 90 house bills, 78 are now in committee, three in the senate, signed by the governor and six killed by committees. The six measures killed were house bil) Ne, 12, relating to the consolidation of the offices of School superintendents; house bill No. 13, relating to qualifications of jurors; house bill No. 21, to have all execu- tiens of the death penalty at Deer Lodge; house’ bill No, 22, concerning @chool district clerks; house bil) No. 41, relating to foreclosure of thresher- men’s liens, and house bill No. 78, re- lating to presentation of charges against anofficial by a grand jury. The three bills which have gone to the senate, in addition to the three for legislative salaries and expenses and Oxer’s bill remitting 1922 taxes until October, 1928, all four_of<which have been signed by the govérnor, are house bill No. 7, concerning redemption of property from foreclosare sales ; house bil No. 10, relating to sinking funds for public bonds; and ise bill No. 4, concerning removal of public offi- cers pending hearing of charges. The administration bill to impose a heavier tax on metals mines in Mon- tana was introduced in the house last week by Representative Strange of Rayalli county, and differs somewhat from the plan which was outlined in Governor Dixon's message to the leg- islature. At that time he asked for a tax of 12 cents a ton on gross ore production. Instead of specifying « tax of 12 cents a ton, the bill fixes the tax at 1 per cent on the gross value of all merchantable ores, including tail- ings. This would, if passed, supplant the present mines license tax of 1% per cent on net proceeds. Senator George McCone of Dawson ia preparing a bill to amend the pres- ent law which requires.the secretary of state to seni u copy of measures tn- itiated to every registered voter in the state. The proposed bill provides that whenever a constitutional amendment or other question is to be submitted to popular vote the secretary of state shall not less than 30 days before the election certify the same to each coun- ty clerk and the clerk must cause the same to be published in one newspaper in the county, and at the expense of the county. Governor Dixon has affixed his of- ficial signature to house dil! No. 1, ® measure introduced in the lower} Branch by Representative Joseph Oker of Lewis and Clark county and having for its purpose the extension of time on delinquent taxes. The measure became effective at once. The meas- ure permits the payment of delinquent 1922 taxes any time up to October, 1923, without the usual 10 per cent penalty but with Interest charged at the rate of 1 per cent a month from Nov. 360, 1922. Three members of the lower house, P. J. Cavanaugh of Butte, Mrs. Cath- erin Calk McCarty of Glendive and Mrs. W. W. Hamilton of Dodson, are champions of a bill which provides that all dance hall operators must take out state licenses, to make legal state control, and prohibits specific dances which the baekers of the bill declare objectionable. It will also bar girls under 18 and boys under 20 from pub- Hic dance halls. Cavanaugh of Silver Bow, and Loble of Lewis and Clark, have submitted bills in the house and senate which would prohibit persons from ting motor cars or vehicies while fn an in- toxieated condition and would pre- scribe as penalties for convictions im- prisonment upto six months and fines * up to $500, together with “the depriv- ing of the right of the convicted person from driving a motor vehicle for a per- lod of 90 days. Senator Church of Lewis and Clark has submitted a measure designed to control «aeronauts and seronautics in Montana. The bill follows the sugges- tions of the national conference of ee Volume Vv.

M. Bryan cf Boyes and the second a tegal marriaged in which Charles B. Lewis. justice of the peace at Broadus. Gould first obtained his marriage license in Broadus about Christmas time but found no one here to officiate in the desired nuptial cer- emeny. The office of justice of the peace was vacant through™the death of Mr. Craw, and his successor had not yet. been appointed by the com- missioners. H. L. Rayner of Kingsley the other justice of the peace for Broadus tcwnship, had not qualified and there was no minister short of Miles City. Gould and his bride want- ed to get married and after diligent inquiry someone told them that prob- ably they could get “tied” at Boyes or \Piniele. Geuld is said to have con alone to Boyes to find a clergyman or an officer who could presidey at a ehurch or civil marriage. The near- est to such a personage was Cc. M Bryan, a notary public and merchant at Boyes, whe is said to haye advised Gould he would preside at a thirty-day marriage. Gould left and returned on horse back, his bride-to-be riding on the- same mount back of him. What the purported ceremony consisted cf is not known, but a $5 fee is said to have been accepted by Bryan, and the couple wént on their way rejoicing. accepting congratulations of friends, and believing themselves unified tn the bonds cf matrimony. Later on. however, someone “tipped” it of to Gould that his first marriage was not genuine and to have it assume a iegal status it would be necessary to have a minister or proper officia! preside at another ceremony. Gould, who is said to be employed as-a tender of sheep, actepted the advice and with came to Broadus a few days were accommodated by Mr. such cermony since Dointment as justice of the peace. —— slg two. . WAVED OTL FALL Cou dependent MONTANA HIST, AND MISC. LIBRARY 2owder River County Somewhere Not Yet RAILROAD. ALMOST ASSURED THIS C0 Yo quote the words of Couee though in a modified form, “Day by day and in every way the railroad project for Powder River county ts looking bet- ter and better.” The proposed Powder River route fer the north and south railroad from Miles City to Casper, was given a Substantial boost with the announce- ment at Sheridan last week that thls route had superior advantages... The route via Sheridan and Tongue river Would cost a-million and a half dol- lars more than the Pcwder River route for original constructign ; the Sheridan-Tongue River route would cost $70,000 more a year to operate and is 35 miles Ienger than the Pow- der River route.’ AN these are very essential considerations in definitely deciding the course the route is to follow. The one advantage possessed by the Sherldan-Tongue River route is through a mere populous ‘country, but this ts easily offset with the knowl- edge that lack of a railroad is the one thing that has retarded develop- ment of the Powder River country and with it the stimulant will be present to rapidly advance the country in all particulars. No definite route ‘has yet been sc- lected for the proposed railroad rut though the conclusion seems to prevail now that the route will follow the feneral course of Powder river as the Most feasivls rcute. : 5.

Jorgensen's place, Mike Gilmore's ranch, down to the Mizpah belpw Olive about six miles, then up Double Cor- ral creek past Gec. Daniels’ (formerly the Chas. A.

The survey was a short distance east of Coalwool postoffice at the source of S L creek and follow ed that creck’s course down tc Pump- kin creek and down Pumpkin eris k to Tongue river and thence on to Miles City. A reute which the railroad engin- eers- have but recently inspectd is up Tongue river past Ashland to Otter creek and then up Otter creek to its head. Getting across the divide onto Powder river is an enginering prob- term’ that can be solved should the railroad go that way, which would practically be a cirect line between Miles City and Arvada. The engineers did not seem to %e thoroughly satis- fied with leaving the divide and going to Powder river via Buffalo creek This creek flows east and empties into Clear creek about four miles above the junction of Clear creek with Pow- der river. If routed via Buffalo creek the raliroad wceuld probably follow Clear creek to the present crossing or bridge known the Dayis crossing and if via Arvada would follow the same Burlington grade Another creek could be used by the as railroad in ccming off the divide. known as Fence creek, though the construction would probably be more difficult. Fence creek joins with Pow- der river at the L X Bar _ranch. owned by Senator Kendrick. By -rivgr this is about 26 miles belcw Arvadd. The road would follow up Powdét,river to what is known as the Remington bill. where it is likely a crossing would be necessary to the east side and another crossing at the mouth of Clear creek to take the road back again to the west side and thence on to Arvada. From the Salt Creek divide in Wyo- ming there is a prevatiing dcwn grade down Powder river to Miles City, which is 2,377 feet above seal level, & drop from the Salt Creek divide of about 3,400 feet. ; epee STOCKMEN MEET RERE FER. 5.
