Another feature of the present bill which has been protested by western states is the division of funds OL. a basis of one-half population, and one-quarter each for area and post road mileage, instead of one-third for each factor.

Montanans, at its annual meeting in Helena this month supported the state highway department in protesting such a division, terming it "discrimma- tion" against less densely populated western states. of Garfield county at Jordan on July 1, while Agriculture School Dean Clyde N.

Standley Files for Commissioner Well-Known Rancher Outlines Policy On County Business Paul A. Slandley, a and stockman, today filed for reelection as Lewis and Clark county commissioner from district No. 3.

His nnme will appear on the Republican ballot in the July 18 primary. In filing with Clerk and Recorder Jerry Sullivan, Standley gave reasons for his not meeting with the county commissioners six days a week. "As I see it there is no necessity for the Lewis and Clark county commissioners meeting six days each week," Standley stated. "All of the business of the commissioners can be done efficiently in from four to six days each month at a saving: to the taxpayers. "County commissioners are paid $8 for each day they spend transacting the county business and do not receive a monthly salary.

"In 52 of Montana's 56 counties the commissioners are able to meet a few days each month and transact their business. "While we are fighting a war for our very existence, I deem it necessary for everyone to devote as much time in assisting the war effort as he can. Consequently I spend a part of my time in looking after my ranch in Lewis and Clark county and only so much time at the courthouse or in looking after county affairs as is necessary. "The county commissioners do not have jurisdiction over the business affairs of either Helena or East Helena, except to sit as a board of equalization in July." City Briefs Mr. and Mrs.

F. Cashmore Says Wildlife Croup Will Have Greatest Meeting In History Here Sunday and Monday Heavy Fall Marketing Program of Stock Predicted for State Heavy fall marketings of livestock are predicted by northern Montana stockmen on the basis of good calf and lamb crops coupled with the generally excellent condition of rangelands. The federal agricultural statistician reported only a few scattered spots remain in the state where feed prospects are uncertain. The best range condition in years was reported in southeastern Montana. Stookgrowcrs expect heavy fall marketings, the statistician observed, as a i of "a general movement to bring cattle bers and feed resources into better balance hy next winter." Rains i the latter part of May and early this month improved ranges in most sections of the state.

geological survey, said today. Above normal temperatures and rains contributed to rapid snow melt in. the mountain areas, he said. The average daily flow of the Yellowstone was 4,338 second-feet during May, compared to the normal flow of 5,058 second-feet based on records since 1911. The was 134,500 acre-feet from a drainage area ot 2,630 square miles.

Since Oct. 1, 1943, the runoff has totaled 714,200 acre-feet or 88 per cent of normal. Records for the Judith river show the average flow during May was 195 second-feet or 10 per cent greater than normal This was probably due to the early snow melt from the mountain areas above the station, Tuttle said. The was 11,980 acre- feet from a drainage area of 331 square miles. Since Oct.

1, 1943, the total has been 14,223 acre-feet or ill per cent of the normal for a like- period since records were begun in 1920. by a banquet Sunday OTenInc ftt 6 o'clock In the Montana club rathskeller when A. T. Petmon, president of Montanans, and Dr. Cashmore will be the principal speakers.

Tom Megselt of Great Falls, secretary of the state federation, was here yesterday to complete arrangements for the meeting. Dr. Cashmore is very anxious to build up the Helena association, pointing out many advantages to be gained through the efforts of a large membership.

At present, about 400 sportsmen belong to the association here and it is highly desirable that the number reach 4,000 members, he said. "The average sale of hunting and fishing licenses in Lewis and Clark county Is 8,000 and we would like to have every hunter and fisherman in the Helena area belong to the association," Dr. Cashmore said. "Concentrated effort on the part of three or four thousand sportsmen can accomplish much beneficial legislation and concrete development toward making the state and our own county a sportsman's paradise. We have the natural resources In great abundance and we also have a number of postwar projects In mind for the development of this area.

Give us the weight of a large membership and we can really accomplish things."
