Internal Revenue Service audits are usually aimed at those tax returns showing the greatest potential for yielding substantial additional tax revenue. IRS spokesman explained their auditing procedures after a congressional report showed that a high proportion o f the 700 persons named on the socalled White House enemies list were subjected to audit probes.

And, said the source, he’ll be able to purchase less gas — probably not more than eight or 10 gallons per week. “ We’re still ridinjg off Arab oil,” said the source.

Skylab to boost output SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) — The Skylab 3 astronauts and Mission Control have reached basic agreement on how to increase the flight’s scientific output.

The astronauts agreed in a radio discussion Sunday night that controllers could schedule experiments during the daily 90-minute physical training exercises and the hour-long periods before and after sleep when the astronauts relax and discuss plans. Israel votes on government TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israelis from snowy Mt. Hermon to the sandy wastes of the Sinai Desert voted today in the most crucial election in the 25-year history of the Jewish state. Be cause of anger over Israel’s setbacks during the opening days o f the October war, a right-wing coalition called the Likud — Unity — threatened the traditional dominance of Premier Golda Meir’s socialist Labor party. Domestic platform planks were forgotten. The only issues were the unpreparedness of the government and the aimed forces for the Arab attack, and how much of the Arab territory captured in the 1967 war will be relin quished at the Geneva peace negotiations. Egypt, Israeli armies 'prepared' EL QANTARA, EGYPT (AP) — Egypt’s 2nd Army is dug ip along the northeast bank of the Suez Canal, and its deputy commander Bays it is going to stay there. “ Both sides are pre paring for something,” Brig.

There was one house in the field already which had an established trade, but feeling that there was room for another, the members of the new company decided to make the venture. The odds seemed against them, but they launched out boldly.” The stockholders of the new company named J. E. Morse as their manager. He continued successfully in the position until' selling his controlling interest to William (B illy) Phillips of Bannack. He was ranching near Bannack, operating a sheep outfit ort fire property now owned by George Shaffner. Billy Phillips continued the DI until his death in 1910 when his brother Charles H.

It was at that time that the company went under the management o f Phillip and his father Eugene Bond, who sold out the Bond Grocery store which he had operated 25 years, to go into business with his son. Eugene Bond is a native of Beaverhead County and was bom at Bond’s Station, received his elem entary education locally then became a doctor of dentistry. At his graduation, however, he returned to Dillon to take over the management of Bond’s grocery on the death of his father, Carl Bond. The father and son team then operated the DI, continuing on the originally established pattern of short credits and prompt collections, buying quality goods from original producers at the lowest possible prices and protecting good trade by getting pay for all of them. The new owners of the business, Flynn and Morstein, plan to continue the policy of the store and to serve the com munity as has been the custom \'of the business in the past. Flynn and Morstein are also owners of the Dillon Disposal Service, which they have operated together for the past three years. Flynn had been operating the Dillon service alone before, while Morstein was in the same business in Poison. This was sold when he moved to Dillon. Flynn and Morstein are both graduates of Western Montana College and Morstein taught three years at the Parkview Junior High School before moving to Poison. Morstein will be at the DI during January and February, assisted in the operation by Eugene and Phillip Bond, while Flynn fills his seat as Beaverhead and Madison County representative in the state legislature at Helena. Eugene and Hiillip Bond will continue to make their home in the Phillips building and will be doing some extensive remodeling in the near future.
