VOLUME ,X CHOTEAU, TETON COUNTY, MONTANA, FEBRUARY 9, 1923 NUMBER 31 FOB SETTLE! Resolutions urging relief for settlers of the Fort Shaw~dIvisioh of the Sun \River Irrigation project have been prepared by the irrigation committee of—the Great Falls commercial club and will be presented to the board of ' directors for concurrence. The resolutions are based on the alleged fact that a series of misfort unes, due to causes other than quality of land and irrigation conditions, resulted in losses to the Fort Shaw division farmers last year. They ask \hrst for temporary relief In carrying over delinquent payments with pen alties cancelled and second permanent aid in the form of 40 year payment plan as provided in the board’s bill now pending. The causes of the recent difficulty of the farmers of the Fort Shaw '-division were said' by speakers to arise from low prices on products, many of them having hardly any market whatever, such as potatoes; hail storms which resulted in severe damage to crops and in many cases to total losses, and from grasshoppers which were bad in some parts of the project The present expense of the project is in construction costs, payments now distributed over 20 years and in “water costs, or cost of maintaining the service. Delinquents pay a pen alty of 12 per cent a year.

Case TW E N T Y TIGERS IN CAST Twenty sleek, tawny, man eating tigers are unannounced members of the cast of the Paramount picture, “Above All Law.” • Their pay con sisted of three pounds of steak each per day’, and if any actors ever work ed diligently for their wages, these black and tan .felines did. They put so much pep into their work that one of the leading men, who was required to go into their den and become closely acquainted with them, will carry souvenirs of the occasion for some time to come. The animals are cast in the roles of the favorite pets of an Indian prince and figure prom inently in a revenge plan of the. Hindu’s.

S RESOLUTIONS At a meeting of the Choteato Rod and Gun Club held recently, the fol lowing resolutions were passed to show the attitude of the members toward the proposed legislation, 'to ' open the season on mountain Bheep and goats. “Whereas, we are advised that certain legislation is proposed in the Montana assembly, which,'if enacted, would open the season mountain sheep and goats,-and Whereas, the area included within the Lewis and Clark National Forest, embracing approximately 1,000,000 acres, harbors only 510 mountain sheep and 480 mountain goats, and Whereas, no other like mountainous area in Montana contains as many such animals, and Whereas, the whole of Montana’s mountainous area contains only ap proximately 1600 mountain sheep and approximately 2400 mountain goals, the above figures being in accordance ' with the estimate of the United States Forest Sercice, and Whereas, both species are practi cally at a final stage of extermination the existing herds being not more than sufficient for propagation pur poses, and ; Whereas, the ranges of such ani mals, If they are permitted to multi ply, would be far removed from that of our live stock, so as to jeopardize that industry not in the least, and Whereas, we believe the movement to open the hunting season on said animals is based upon sinister mo tives of some commercially inclined guides and packers in order that uiey may advertise an open season «n these, our most picturesque denizons_ of the wilds and most coveted and sotoght for game animalB, and- . Whereas, we believe that the pres ence of these animals in our mount ains,. protected from, 4 the hunter, _ would ' fonto an esthetic standpoint, '' attract more visitors to our state,.and Whereas, from careful ’ and exten sive inquiry and observation we know that an open season on mountain sheep and mountain goats, which are now comparatively tame, would re sult the first year in their reduction to so small a number as to mean their practically ultimate extermina tion. . Now, therefore, fie it Resolved That the Choteau Rod and Gun Club does hereby most earnestly recom mend that the hunting season on mountain sheep and mountain goats be kept closed in Montana, and We further heartily commend the attitude of conservation of our State Game Warden Mr. C. A. Jakways, and the members of the Fish and Game Commission of Montana and pledge cooperatian and support of this club to them in maintaining a general policy of conservation and protection of the game and fish resources of Montana.
