FAILURE TO CONFORM TO INSURANCE LAWS IS REASON Cancellation of 15 M.R.C. permits previously held by truckers in several sections of the state, was announced yesterday by the Montana railroad and public service commission. Orders to cancel the permits, bor.rd members said, resulted from the holders refusing to comply with state laws requiring them to be covered by public liability and property damage Insurance.

Chairman Austin B. Middleton and Board Members Horace F. Casey and Paul T. Smith said a statewide survey had been conducted by M.R.C. permit holders before action was taken.

"Holders whose permits were cancelled received the additional privilege of a warning to comply with the Insurance law within 10 days or forfeit licenses," a board statement said. Field men have been instructed to continue investigations and to report failure to comply with the law to the board. "In each case where the insurance, or any other, statute governing the operation of commercial vehicles. Is not complied with, action' will be taken," board members said. Last year the board took similar action and revoked permits of approximately 20 former holders who failed to secure Insurance.

LIBERMAN 800 Fuller Are. Fuller Paints Walker Paint and Wallpaper Store II N. Park Ph. REINSTATEMENT HE BY OFFICIAL mills The Montana land board cannot reinstate a certificate of purchase later than six years after cancellation. Attorney General H.

J. Freebourn ruled yesterday. The opinion, written at the request of Mrs. Nanita B. Sherlock, land board commissioner, added quit claim deeds convey all rights of grantors, including- mineral rights, unless expressly reserved.

Mrs. Sherlock asked for the ruling on the following question: The state took a mortgage on certain lands and later accepted a quit claim deed In lieu of foreclosure. The deed contained the reservation of the right to re-purchase before a certain date, advantage which was taken by the grantor. Because ot a default the contract of repurchase was cancelled In 1933, and the commissioner sought to know whether the contract may be reinstated and assigned to a person who wants to explore for oil and gas and whether the state secured mineral rights by the quit claim deed. In another opinion Issued yesterday at the request of Bert Kronmiller, Big Horn county attorney, the attorney general held the owner of lands within city limits may not have an unplatted strip separately assessed to permit payment of the tax on the balance without paying street improvement taxes on the un- platted portion.

Herman Weinreuter was born In Calvary, In 1863. He drifted westward and to Marysville in ISSfl where he worked as an engineer around the famous old gold mining camp and Invested his earnings in real estate and In mining property. Thrifty and conservative, Herman Weinreuter slowly accumulated a considerable fortune, enough at least to spend the winters at his old home in Wisconsin or in California or In Washington--but as soon as the spring touched Montana's mountains Mr. Weinreuter came back to Marysville and the. gold camp and the life he loved.

Old timers wlio have made the trip back and forth between Marjsville and Helena will remember that the road ran at the bottom of the canyon. There were several cyanide gold washing plants in the bottom of that canyon 30 years ago and the road was used, as well, as tin old tint ber and logging road and to haul ore from Marysville. It wasn't, in other words, such a good road but tho worst feature was that much of it was in the shade of the canyon and during the winter months it was often impassable, except by bobsled travel, for days and weeks at a time. There wero times during a hard winter when Marjsville was cut off from tho rest of the world. A few of the old-timers in the railroad business who remember the Marys- Tillo branch line can tell you that during the winter of 1917-18 the branch was so blocked with snow that it took a snow plow .10 days to break through.

You can im ine, then, what that road at the bottom of the canyon was like. stter road to Helena that became errnan Weinreuter's driving auibl- on after he had made his money. wanted a road on the south side the canyon, a road that wouldn't et snow choked and impassably during the winter, a road that ould permit contact with the out- de world all winter. The best waj get such a road, Mr. Weinreuter easoned, was to build it himsel --three miles of it along the can on's eouth side.

So, in 1920, he arted. He started with a pick and lovel and wheel barrow and hi sed his own blasting powder. Peo le said he was crazy--people al ays say those things--but it wa Is money that was going Into i what the heck. And It was to give Marysville 'Dos and Don ts' of Christmas Mailing Listed by Postmaster For 15 years Herman Welnren er worked on that project durln he summers, worked with hU whee arrow and his pick and shove ntil, In 1935, death -wrote an en 3 his -work. But during that lime had accomplished a lot.

The man whom people laughed at had ompleted a road wide enough to iccommodate a caterpillar tractor nd In 1934 the county commiB- ioners helped put the finishing ouches on the project by widening he road to Its present width and making a couple ol large Jills to straighten the thoroughfare In a couple ot places. The road through canyon over which people drive today between here and Marysville is Herman Weinreuter's road. FAMOUS HELENA ARTIST WILL I A 18 WATER COLORS Jack Beauchamp, famous Helena artist who has won nationwide recognition for his work, will have an exhibition of water colors and drawings at the Montana club Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, it was announced yesterday. Beauchamp, who has been at; Unionville since the first of June, will have on exhibition a powerful group of western water colors done this summer as well as two or three paintings dono in the east last year as well as a couple of portraits. A graduate Helena high school, Beauchamp attended DePaul university and studied painting with Richard Miller and Leon Kroll.

In 1935 he won the Beck medal at the Pennsylvania academy with his portrait entitled Hunter" and hai had exhibitions at the Milch galleries in New York. Forbes Watson, Washington and New art critic in his recent book, York Best American Paintings of the Last 10 Years," reproduces one ot Beauchamp's pictures. Beauchamp has also won two national mural competitions, one at Muncy, and i other at Millinockett, Maine. His canvases also hang In several important private collections. So that's the story.

Or most of It. There's just a little more to add. Mayor Jack Haytin ran across that innch of story couple of weeks ago and ho got to thinking it would be kind of nice If a few people from Marys- and a few from Helena got together and put up a little monument to Herman Welnrenter's efforts--a simple little stone at the entrance of the canyon telling briefly of the old man's efforts. When that little monument is put up--and we know there will be enough people interested to see that it's done--the end of Herman Weinreuter's story will hare been written, the last chapter will have been finished. We hope it won't be long in coming.

J. A. Woodward, history and social science teacher, and M. P. Martinson, English and social studies instructor oE the Helena high school faculty, have resigned to accept Mail early for delivery before Christmas day nml bo sure to register or insure your gifts, are tliu of caution published in a special Christmas bulletin by the postoffico department, J.

R. Wine, postmaster, said jes- tcrday. Special emphasis was placed on fact that the postofftco department has to handle 200 prr cent more mail during tho holiday season and the public must do its mailing early enough to assure of Christmas presents. This will not only mako it certain that gifts will bo received before Christmas day but nill bo a great aid to the postal service nnd (o postal eniplosccs and enable them to spend tlie holiday with their families, the bulletin stated. "DOS AND DON'TS" LISTED Special precautionary measures for Christmas mailing weru stressed by Mr.

Wine. In the parking of gifts for mailing, strong paper and heavy twine should be used and packages should be securely wrapped. Odd shaped articles should be reinforced with wood strips or placed in special containers. Articles easily broken or crushed must be securely packed, crated or boxed. Use liberal quantities of excelsior in, around and between objects to bo packed together.

All articles easily damaged or broken must bo plainly marked "fragile." Addresses should be complete, tjpert or plainly written in ink nnd on one side of the package only. So far as possible keep all seals and stickers off of the side used for the address. Stickers should not be placed in such a manner that they seal the parcel. Large numbers of Christmas greetings mailed hi unsealed envelopes at third class rate of postage, arc disposed of as each jenr because they are un- dcliverable as addressed, duo to removal of the addressee or other cause. Mr.

Wine also pointed out thnt patrons of the rural service should bo encoutaged to purchase supplies of stamps In advance and stamp all letters and other mailing matter instead of placing stamp money the mailing material In tho boxes. This practice makes it hard on the rural mall carriers who must obtain the stamps and place them on the parcels anT letters. All Christmas mail intended for tho Hawaiian islands must be placed in the postoffico by 2 p. m. Thursday, Dec.

13, as the last boat for tho Islands leaves San Francisco, Dec. 14. Air mail Intended for Hawaii should bo in the mail by Dec. 13 as the last Clipper will IcaAe San Francisco Dec. 14, Mr.

Wine, pointed out As last precautionary measure the postmaster cautioned per sons requiring stamps for business purposes should make their purchases before the Christmas rush commences or during tho earlv morning hours.
