child, would be fulfilled.

County Commissioner Niels johnson
is looking after the roads in his district
in a diligent fashion. The Mott Lane
is now in good condition for winter
travel. Roadmaster John Thompson
filled in long stretches of low and sag
CIV depressions with gravel. By near

is regretted that it was not originally
made at least Is feet wider. Work on
the Brockliss Lane as far as Center

will also require quite number of
loads of sagebrush and gravel for sew
eral low places to put the whole road
in uniformly good condition. Mr..
