MARCH' 9; 1923 NUM B E R 3a ANNUAL MEETING OF LOCAL FOREST OFICIALS ., THIS WEEK : All of the Tangers on the Lewis .-and Clark national forest will be in -•Choteau next week for the purpose -of taking final action on the appli cations for grazing on the forest the ■coming season. Full consideration is given every -application by the rangers in con ference with Supervisor Myrick and is quite a problem since the demand for range far exceeds the amount -available. ~~ Each application is considered on .its own merits by the ranger and the information therein largely decides which of the three general classes of ■applications it belongs. Priority for grazing is then given to the old users of the first two .grades who have acquired preference on account of at least three years of •continuous use of the range and are commenserate fors the number of .stock for which permits are desired. No applications fn the third class ■are approved unless there is a surplus range available after the first two classes of applications are taken care -of. The final plans for the prevention and improvement work on each dis trict Will also be gone over and worked out with the rangers con vened. The conference will end with a general rangers meeting on March 14 and 15, during which the general work on the forest will be discussed \and policies of administration decided upon. Mr. Adams, the telephone en gineer for district 1, with headquart ers at Missoula/ Montana,- will-, also .give the entire Sorest personnel a course in telephone instrument and line repair work. Supervisor Myrick states that a thorough knowledge of telephone maintenance is required of all forest officers since the efficiency of the entire fire 'prevention organi zation depends upon good and quick communication.

THE LONG AGO PICTURES OF PHOTOGRAPS TAKEN IN THE TOMB OF TUTANKHAMEN Have you ever tried to picture for yourself the civilization that existed before the time of David, second king of Israel? Have you tried to imagine the kind of clothes people wore 3,500 years ago, the kind of furniture they used. Over in Egypt, in the valley of the Nile, there was recently opened the tomb of Pharoh Tutankhamen, the ruler of Egypt 3,500 years ago, and inside this tomb there was found vast quantities of things that picture the civilization of the ancient world. It is a rare privilege for The Mon tanan to present to our readers this week a series of pictures made from photographs taken inside this tomb, showing the many interesting objects which it contained. In these pictures you will see iSuCIi of the story of that ancient civilization which passed away more than a thousand years before the birth of Christ, a civila- tion that antedates the pyramids by several hundred pears. In these pictures you will find much that is of intense interest, and you will add to your own interest in the subject by talkig about them with your friends and neighbors. KINDERGARTEN KIDDIES FINISH The ending of the kndergarten class last week, which was conducted at the high school by the normal train ing class and Miss Fredrica Medley cannot go without a few words of praise. That the installing of this class was an asset ^of - incomparable ...value •both to the kiddies and the normal training girls there is no doubt, too much cannot be said of the won derful method of teaching and hand ling of this class of interesting boys and girls, none of whom were over five years of age, and one is aston ished at the knowledge gained by the little ones. The girls who are pre paring themselves for their work of teachers are fortunate indeed to have had the opportunity of learning just how to handle this class, under the able instructions of Miss Medley.
