GOOD ROADS
AGITATION

The Lewistown Argus is carrying
on an energetic campaign for state
legislation this winter in. the interest
Of good road making in Montana.
Here is the scheme:
'The county plan is simply to ask
authority from the legislature for
the counties to spend exactly the
the same money they are now spend
ing for road work. but to spend it
scientifically in bond Issue which
will allow the same results In two or
three years as there would be under
the present system in twenty-five
or more years. As an illustration,
Fergus county is now spending ap-
proximately $5O,0OO year OH its
roads. Used as basis for \ bond
issue, this $4,000 would be capital
lied into $500, 600 of bonds. 1t would
not add one cent to the yearly cost OF
building and repairing roads. but it
would build all the roads in two Or
three years which otherwise would
be built in twenty-five years. The
chances also are all in favor of the
same amount Of money building
much greater mileage OF roads in the
shorter time, as the legislature can
safeguard its expenditure and the
work can be contracted for in tho
townships or road districts ~ parts
Of a completed whole instead of the
present patch work method.
The proposed plan will not propose
that counties can bond themselves
Unfortunately for road purposes.
1T will not propose that they can
spend any more money through a
bond issue than each is now spending
for road purposes. 1t will in no
way interfere with any of the
existing roads nor any plan for state
wide or interstate roads. 1t will
contine itself solely to the PROPOSE
tion of using the money now raised
toward the one end Of giving pre-.
sent and prospective settlers the best
roads to their nearest markets."
The Argus has sent out 4 letter to
all the members of the legislature
ask ing for nv oninion "a to tho feasi-
bilitt of the plan Among the an.

RAINBOW CURRENT !.
INTO LEWISTOWN

Manager Simonson Of the Lewis
town Electric Il Power Co. expects
that current from the new high-ten-
sion line that has just been completed
into Lewistown from Rainbow Falls,
will be turned in, for use in this city,
by next Sunday or Monday. This
will give the company chance to
furnish this city with all the power
and current needed.
A large amount of work on rebuild
ing the local distributation system
has been carried on the past summer
and fall, and about half OF this work
is now completed. The other half of
the big job will be taken up again
early in the spring and rushed to
completion. Sinonson informed the
News that efforts would be made to
get Stanford connected up rs soon as
possible, and that current would be
supplied to Moccasin. Hobson and
other towns i'm that locality by early
spring, at least. The weather and
the opportunity to obtain men to
carry on the work will be the chief
determining s.-I.ewistown

FERGUS WHEAT
100000 BUSHELS

David Hilger. president OF the
First National bank of Lewistown,
and one Of the best informed men in
the lcountry on such matters, has
given his estimate Of tho grain pro-
duction of Fergus county for this
year. 1t is based upon personal OH
servation III every part of the Judith
basin and upon actual crop returns
from individuals and the elevators.
According to Mr. Hiiger's figures
the wheat crop amounted to 5000. 600
bushels; fax 600, 600 bushels, oats Il
5OO.0OO bushels. with 4 large produc-
tiOn Of barley and other grains. A
report circulated early in the year to
the effect that the Judith basin would
show y marked falling of in wheat
this year was based entirely upon the
fact that last fall there was a COIL
siderable shortage in the acreage
sown to winter wheat. This was be.
cause the continuous storms prevent
cd harvesting in time to pillow the
ground in many cases. 1t was much
more than offset, however, by the
acreage sowed to spring grains.
Spring wheat did splendidly in the
Judith basin this year.

THE GAPS CHANCES
GETTING BETTER

II. G.. Finch was in 1Iarlowton
Wednesday and in conversation with
some Of the prominent citizens there
learned that the county commission
ers in considering the petition to
form Wheatland county had elimina-
ted six townships in Sweetgrass
county on protest from property
owners there. There were two other
protests. one consisting Of \ strip of
territory along the west end of the
proposed new county one mile wide
and twelve miles long which protest
was allowed. The other one, signed
bv Mr.. Smart and others, the loca-
ton of which territory MIR. Finch
could not discover. was not allowed.
This elimina ion takes off abont
S3o0.OOO valuation but still leaves
enough to cover the 81 ,O00, 900 in tax
able property according to law.
But the best part OF this elimina-
tion is the fact that Iiarlowton will
be thus deprived of about fifty votes
for county seat which would reason
ably go to her.
This makes 4 much closer fight for
county seat honOrs than lIarlowton
likes. and gives judith Gap as near a
slnch on the county as anything in
this world is certain.
Ii every friend Of the Gap gets
busy The county seat can be landed
for this town.

article on good roads and it seems to
me your plun is good one and al-
though, if it is not accepted in it's EN-
tirety, it will have the effect of de-
vlsing even better one; and If so
your work will not have been in vain.
am heartily in favor Of good roads
and am in favor Of legislation that
will make it possible to construct
highways for all time to come that
will be credit to the people now
living. These roads that we build
will he used, no doubt. as long as the
human race inhabits this portion OF
the earth and, therefore, when we
build road we ought to build 1t
right to start in with.
It will be impossible to give every
farmer good road to his nearest
market at the same time, and there
fore to begin with We must all work
for the good of the greatest number.
regardless of our own individual in
terests if we ultimately want to make
the greatest SUCCEEDS.
l believe to begin with. main roads
should be built, through the section
of country where they would benefit
the largest number OF farmers and
then extend branch roads as fast as
the money will permit.
No doubt the government will soon
building highways and instead Of
squandering millions in ways that
benefit no one, use some OF this
money in upbMilding our country. in
the line Of good public highways; but
in the meantime we must not be idle.
Under the plan proposed by you.
I believe the money should be dis
tributed by districts in proportion to
the amount Of taxes paid, and that
the districts should he laid out with
q view to equalizing the work. TAX
ing the topography Of the country
into consideration.
The supervising authority should
be left to some competent man to be
appointed by the board OF county
commissioners.
l also believe in the use Of convict
labor for building roads. Not long
ago saw q gang of convicts at work
on road being built up Shields river,
and it impressed me as being = hu-
manitarian project, not alone from
the standpoint of the convict. but
also from the standpoint of the far.
mers. l believe the farmers needed
this road just little more than
the convicts needed the fresh air and
exercise. ] am not positive but that
the convicts should be paid a small
or suitable wage, this wage to be kept
in trust by the state until the prison
er is released, or, it life termer. he
should be allowed to use this money
for some humanitarian or philan-
thropic purpose. believe this would
make them take more interest in the
work and ut the same time have Il
tendency of uplifting them and to
make them feel they are not living
entirely in vain as far as their own
interests are concerned.
Sincerely yours,
A. &. GRANDE.
Senator from Meagher County.
