Bond retirement signals cautious fiscal footing in Montana
The Butte and Silver Bow county board of commissioners report progress in reducing bonded debt and warrants. The final $250,000 5 percent courthouse bond issued in 1910 will be retired January 1, with $113,000 remaining in 4.5 percent bonds from an earlier issue. A $250,000 6 percent highway bond issue from 1920 is ahead of schedule, saving taxpayers thousands in interest. The highway bonds will have the second installment retired under the treasurer’s call. The article argues 6 percent serial bonds inflate costs, noting improvements costing $431,500 to taxpayers and $181,500 in interest, with $75,000 already paid in interest since 1920. It concludes Montana voters are moving away from bonds for public works, predicting a steadier fiscal future if counties persist.

He urges teachers to make subjects engaging, emphasize nature’s ascent and adaptation, and present evolution directly from natural facts before Darwin or Mendel, avoiding philosophical framing for younger minds.
