Marc Racicot marked Monday's holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. by creating a volunteer human rights group to help organize future celebrations honoring the slain civil rights leader.

In an executive order signed Monday, Racicot appointed 18 members of the Human Rights Advisory Council. He charged the council with encouraging appropriate ceremonies and activities marking the holiday in honor of King; providing advice and help to individuals, governments and organizations promoting the holiday; and promoting the ideals of non-violence and human rights that were the hallmark of King's teachings. The order also suggests the council should sponsor workshops on human rights for public and private groups, help develop a library of information on non-violence and human rights, and generally combat racism. The council, with the Rev. Phillip Caldwell of Great Falls as its chairman, is required to submit an annual report of its activities to the governor.

Caldwell is pastor of the Mount Olive Christian Fellowship, a predominantly black congregation.

"It's fitting that, as we mark the birthday of Canadian wheat probe begins today Canada eliminate its shipping subsidy on wheat -and limit its grain shipments into the United States. Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy talked as re--cently as Friday with Canadian officials, and the -negotiations could continue through the ITC inves-J tigation, Kinsella said. "The communications and the discussions; have been definitely worthwhile; however, we have not achieved a resolution," Kinsella said. ITC investigations typically take six to nine months. Officials at the Canadian embassy could not-be reached for comment Monday.

Canada has denied that it is selling wheat in-the United States below cost. A binational dispute, panel sided with Canada earlier this year, conclud-; ing that the transportation subsidies were allowed under the U.S.-Canadian trade agreement. The quotas would be imposed if the ITC finds that Canadian grain shipments are interfering with the U.S. farm program, a conclusion USDA officials reached last year. The department estimates rising Canadian wheat imports have cost U.S.

taxpayers $600 million in higher crop subsidies over the past four years. Although most of the nation's durum used in pasta making is grown in North Dakota, other U.S. grain growers are watching the dispute closely-American farmers claim that Canada depressed U.S. wheat prices by dumping unfairly subsidized grain in American markets after a free-trade agreement was signed in the 1980s. The Clinton administration is demanding that WASHINGTON (AP) The Clinton administration is preparing steps to impose quotas on imports of Canadian durum wheat after the two countries failed to meet a deadline for settling a trade dispute.

President Clinton gave Canada 60 days to end what U.S. farmers consider unfair pricing practices before he moved to restrict its grain shipments into the United States. The deadline was Saturday. "As of this hour no agreement has been reached," Agriculture Department spokesman Steve Kinsella said Monday night. Barring a last-minute deal, the U.S.

International Trade Commission will begin an investigation Tuesday into the dispute at Clinton's request, Kinsella said. cafeteria, 701 S. 27th St. Survivors of Incest Anonymous (women only-smokeless) 7 p.m., Bitterroot Room, St. Vincent Hospital Overcomers Outreach 7 p.m., Westside Baptist Church, 323 S.

The parties met Friday and agreed to the solution that will be presented to the Land Board. Under the plan, the fence line boundary would be used, with the Rehbergs and Hiestermans receiving a combined total of one-fourth acre of state land. Dempsey, meanwhile, would receive an easement through the state section and adjacent state land to guarantee access to his property by dirt road. Without an agreement, there would be title problems for several of the property owners, Clinch said, and state land would fall on parts of the Rehbergs' and Hiestermans' respective land and homes. A court probably will have to straighten out the tangled boundaries if the agreement isn't approved, Clinch said.

"I suspect some people will contend the state is giving up property," Clinch said. "But I'm told if we go to court, we may be directed that we acknowledge common boundaries from surveys in 1889 and 1967." Rehberg could not be reached for comment Monday. turn over a portion of state land to Rehberg and his wife, who purchased the 2.5-acre property last spring and built a new home there, and Dr. and Mrs. Dwight Hiesterman, who also own a home there.

The Rehbergs' land borders some state land being bought by another neighbor who lives on them, Steve Dempsey. A survey done for Dempsey found that the state land crossed part of the Rehbergs' property and would have put part of the lieutenant governor's house on state land, Clinch said. Dempsey's survey also indicated his property would have crossed over into the Hiestermans' property and half of their living room, the commissioner said. An earlier survey done for the Rehbergs before they bought the land determined the boundary to be the fence line between the two properties. "It's a convoluted mess," Clinch said.

The piece of land in question in the boundary dispute is an angular strip varying from 13 to 20 feet wide with no value in the marketplace, according to the lands commissioner. Clinch said the Hiestermans, Rehbergs and the Department of State Lands agreed to pay for another survey in an effort to come up with a common boundary agreeable to ev By CHARLES S. JOHNSON Gazette State Bureau Chief HELENA The state Land Board will be asked today to approve an agreement that would turn over one-fourth of an acre of state land to Lt. Gov. Dennis Rehberg and a Helena doctor to resolve a boundary dispute over real estate west of Helena.

State Lands Commissioner Bud Clinch said Monday he hopes the proposed agreement will resolve a boundary dispute among three sets of property owners and the state resulting from conflicting surveys on the land, west of the Helena city limits on the other side of the State Nursery on U.S. Highway 12. He will present it to the Land Board at a meeting at 9 a.m. in the governor's reception room in the Capitol. "It's extremely important to take it before the Land Board so it's completely beyond reproach," Clinch said.

The Land Board comprises Reh-berg's running mate, Gov. Marc Racicot; Attorney General Joe Mazu-rek; Superintendent of Public Instruction Nancy Keenan; Secretary of State Mike Cooney; and Auditor Mark O'Keefe. Racicot and Rehberg are Republicans, while the rest are Democrats. Under the plan, the state would our 6ale is and we're all and restocked for another great year of (Saving You Money!
