Silver Bow Motor Car Co. **POWER COMPANY CASES FINALLY DISPOSED OF** (Continued from Page 1.) H. Boyle, chairman of the public service commission of this state,' and James H. Brennan, member of the commission, that for rate making purposes in connection with the large power companies, the original cost plus a percentage [or?] intangible values should be considered. It is evident that a majority of the board felt that there should be a re-examination of the valuations of properties in this state for rate making purposes, and it is thought the commission has been adopting the right theory if they secured substantially the same rate making department of the state. The appraisal values used for the valuation made by the public service commission in this case, the large power company cases, were those had before it which were made by the firm of Byllesby and company of Chicago. Ill. They then ordered that the physical properties and properties of these power companies, as the same ascertained by the board in the last analysis, for the purpose of covering intangible properties, be taken as the correct valuation of these companies for taxation purposes. Mr. [illegible] dissenting, voting "no." The members of the board stated that in arriving at their conclusions, based upon the fact that the board originally adopted the rule that both physical or replacement value and did not add a percentage as the other public service commission had, in organizing their previous method, and the commission decided at one session to cover both physical and intangible values. The original valuations on Falls Power company were originally stated at more than $13,600,000. The local advertiser of this, one direct, certain channel of information, is the Anaconda Standard.

In the opinion of Lieut. Gov. W. W. McDowell of the organization of the Western States Reclamation association will also have a tendency to insure that sufficient funds will be set aside for this work, he says. Mr. McDowell has returned from a visit to the capital as a member of the delegation of 50 representatives sent by the 16 western states to place before congress a request for appropriation sufficient to complete the projects which are already under way. Included in the delegation were Governors Davis of Idaho, Campbell of Arizona, Hart of Washington, Carnegie of North Dakota and Baker of Oregon. The two senators and congressman Stevens of Colorado and McDowell of Montana, state senator from the wards of Roosevelt county, a member of the executive committee of this association, was also a representative from this state. **On Special Train.** The trip east was made on a special train from Denver and was in accordance with a decision of the Western States Reclamation association to unite in an effort to secure a sufficient appropriation for the completion of projects already started. Taken by the 16 senators and the 33 congressmen representing the reclamation projects already under way with the western states, it was imposing to force favorable action by congress. "I am confident that our trip East will result in the interior states being given a larger amount than would otherwise have been the case," said McDowell. "The main argument the work of placing the matter before congress was the showing of the whole amount we asked for, $219,646,000, as the total sum needed. In congress seems to be in a mood to help the western states, and many of the representatives feel that the needs of the West before them will eventually secure a larger appropriation than would have been the case if the trip had not been made." **Not an Experiment.** "We placed the facts before congress that reclamation in the West is not an experiment. We showed that several projects completed last year had produced crops of value of $59,-250,000. Since so much of the total of the various states had been met, the facts of what has been accomplished in the West has been proved practical. As instances cited was that of the Klamath project in Washington, which last year had crops of a value of $18,500,000 and the entire cost of the project was only $18,600,000." "In placing these facts, and in showing similar facts were true in each of the other western projects of the West. We showed congress that reclamation has proved practical and all that we need is the advance of sufficient funds to complete the projects already started by the government by the water users within a few years." **Avert Damage.** "Damage to the amount of millions of dollars each year, caused by the annual floods in the arid states, may be averted by the building of reclamation projects in the states --- ## Column 3 **NEW REVENUE COLLECTOR ASSUMES OFFICE FEB. 1** James A. Walsh of Missoula will assume charge of the work of the Internal revenue bureau in Montana on Feb. 1, according to information received at the Butte office of the bureau. Announcement is made that the local office will be closed from noon Jan. 30 to Feb. 2 to permit the work of transferring records. The books of the office, supplies, supplies and records will be taken to tributary to irrigation. The swelling snow is held and used for irrigation purposes. The crop of the tributaries fed by these projects, little harm would be done that will not be occasioned by the yearly floods which have proved disastrous to the water users for generations past." "I am of the opinion that our trip was a complete success, and the projects in the West will be benefited greatly by the showing made." Mr. McDowell continued. "Speaking for myself, I am thoroughly in favor of making the appropriation and am in favor of the irrigation of semi-arid lands under government relief aid, and making hundreds of millions of acres now unoccupied productive out of the deserts." **Considers All Projects.** Mr. McDowell outlined the plan of the western reclamation association as a request for the government to issue bonds to the amount of $219,646,000, which sum would be sufficient to complete all projects now under way together with any additional ones contemplated. Sale of these bonds would raise necessary money for financing the projects and make them available to the government within a short time by the water users upon completion of the contracts. The Western States Reclamation association was organized at Kansas City about two months ago, when 1,500 representatives of the western met in conference. Mr. McDowell was chosen vice president of the association and it is headed by Gov. W. Davis of Idaho. --- **UNIONS AND EMPLOYERS COMPLETE ORGANIZATION** (Continued from Page 1.) of making a settlement, Mr. Baker said: "Every union realizes that if it is to get more than by no agreement now on wages and working conditions, and get the greatest and fullest result for all concerned," Mr. Baker said to the delegates from the 16 groups meeting here, "it would be peculiarly that any direct benefit would be better than on one issue resulting from an $1 increase in wages. Each of you would then expect your own representatives to ask for such an increase for you." Outlining the situation from the employers' viewpoint, Mr. McNally declared that the aim of the conference was first to stabilize wages and working conditions for 1920, and then to evolve from the conference a permanent conference board to function from year to year: convening again in 1921 and 1922. The employers will clear the slate for uninterrupted progress of their work. It was pointed out that each side had entered the conference with what we thought were ideal bases for bargaining. "For 10 years there has not been a single case in the trades affiliated with Butte that was not interrupted by a strike for more money. None have been brought on by one side or another. This makes it most difficult to arrive at a foundation or base of any final and definite understanding of permanent wages and working conditions." **Secretaries.** With Mr. McNally seated as chairman of the conference, Dan McIntosh, as secretary for the American Federation of Labor, and W. T. Ford for the employers side, took places beside the presiding officer, one to his right, the other aside. "Though it was first thought that both sides were hopeful that the two would expedite matters by making an agreement. The conference work was virtually concluded last night with a roll call to determine which group is to be elected tonight. Both committees will present their own findings." Each meeting of the conference will be called the same evening. Following this rule, last night's meeting was adjourned until tonight after filing upon tonight for the next evening's session. At each evening's meeting the conference continued, each group was appointed to examine all proposals this evening. After following which a roll call was called. John G. Doyle, chairman of the employers' committee counted the employees on credentials committee, which Gerdes was appointed chairman by the delegates acted for the unions. **Union Agreement.** In the course of the meeting an agreement was placed before both men and employers of the building trades and a copy of the agreement is a joint resolution of the conference declaring wage and working conditions for 1920, all to become a fullest arbitration agreement. The agreement also contains information which is subject to readjustments provided by each union at the end of the 1921 season. These agreements cannot be changed except upon unanimous agreement reached by the board, consisting of five representatives from each group as constituted by the plan. Following in the 10 building groups of the unions and employers, as was said last night, but until a solution of the arbitration agreement in each case no report will be made to the conference in general. Following the usual parliamentary proceedings, the following representing all sides met it was determined in the view of the conference or the hours appointed which they had met so far that making it necessary to transact all business in the galleries. Until the close of each meeting the time for them was agreed upon. **Union Delegates.** Carpenters: J. E. McNally and W[il?]- liam Finch. Plumbers, S. Murray and W. H. King.

Canvassing and soliciting committees were appointed and preliminary arrangements completed for the opening of the Montana work on Feb. 2. The bond campaign is important because of its significance in American communities, according to the details set by the American commission on Irish independence, of which Francis J. Walsh is chairman. St. Patrick's day has been selected as a suitable day to end the drive and celebrate the close. **Drive Plans Explained.** State Manager E. Murray of the American commission explained the details of the drive to the groups. The bonds will be sold in standard denominations of $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. They will be non-negotiable and non-interest bearing until the Irish republic has been fully established and recognized by the nations of the world. They will bear interest from six months after the republic receives international recognition and all British forces have been withdrawn from the territory of Ireland. The bonds will begin to bear interest, providing they have been confirmed, at the rate of five per cent per annum. The drive in Silver Bow county will be under the direction of Chairman John J. Coplin, Treasurer J. J. Harrington and Secretary Mrs. Martin Lenhan, acting in conjunction with two committees appointed to devise ways for the canvassing, soliciting the county, and appointed soliciting committee as follows: Mrs. M. A. O'Leary, John Grimles, Judge J. J. Lynch, James J. Dolan, Ann [Donnelly?], Catherine Harrington and Margaret [illegible]. **Liberation Is Certain.** "The question is a brief one," said E. Murray, "the liberation of Ireland is as sure of coming today, as it is and has been whether it happens today, tomorrow or years hence, it is about to happen and Ireland will then show her potential as Great Britain have fallen. Ireland will bear her share of the cost of that fall sooner." The gathering was evoked by Major Dempsey who he said: "The Irish cause is driving the wedge, the Irish republic drive is now on, and the wedge, will welcome any special support for the Anaconda army." Montana First Aid soliciting committee meeting will be held on Jan. 24 at the Meaderville gym. Refreshments and car service. Dancing from 7 to 1. **ELKS TO BUILD HOME.** ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 22.—Aberdonian Elks lodge will build a seven to eight story hotel on their present lot, to be leased to the Elk club.
