JJU Ill xl- I ft; Fare Wars Great Prices Ca Today Must purchase ticket by Friday, Sept. 17 By BOB ANEZ Associated Press HELENA A project to assess the condition of valuable artwork in and around the state Capitol has led to an unexpected discovery, the director of the Montana Historical Society said Wednesday. While most of the initial concern centered on the huge painting by Charles M.

Russell that hangs at the front of the House chamber, a consultant is most alarmed over an 80-year-old bronze statue, said Brian Cockhill. Art conservator M. Randall Ash has warned officials that the life-size likeness of vigilante Wilbur Fiske Sanders is on the verge of serious damage unless it is moved back inside the Capitol. The statue was taken from the third-floor landing to a spot outside the south entrance to the building in 1980. The move made room for a statue of Jeanette Rankin.

The statue, dedicated in 1913, had been inside the Capitol for 67 years. Cockhill said the bronze, developing small cracks, is faring poorly in Montana's harsh climate. "It was never designed for that," he said. "The environmental ups and downs that it has to put up with damage the statue pretty significantly." Cockhill said plans are to put the statue of Sanders back inside as soon as possible, probably next year. The timing will depend partly on how difficult and expensive such a move will be.

Sanders, one of Montana's first two U.S. senators, was the lawyer for the vigilantes. Cockhill said reviewing the condition of Capitol artwork was authorized by the Legislature, which allocated $8,000 for the job. Ash, who works for the Rocky Mountain Conservation Center in Denver, has made one inspection and will return for two or three more. She is checking statues and the Russell painting, as well as paintings in the House lobby, Senate, former law library, old Supreme Court chambers, rotunda and the livestock-agriculture building.

"I don't think she sees anything heading for a disaster," Cockhill said. Some of the paintings, especially the 12-by-25 foot Russell painting in the House, need a thorough cleaning, he said. Money for that work probably will have to be sought from the next Legislature, he added. The painting depicting Lewis and Clark meeting the Flathead Indians is priceless, but may be worth as much as $15 million, Cockhill said. Ash's major concern is the effect of heat and humidity on the Travel Connection University Center UM (406) 549-2286 1-800-441-2286 M-F 9-5 FAX 549-2287 FIRE CALLS TUESDAY, Sept.
