ROAD IMPROVEMENT
UNDER WAY
HIGHWAY TO SLEEPING CHILD
SPRINGS BEING PUT IN BET
TER CONDITION.

Hamilton, Sept. 9. Especial y
Since the board of county COM
mssioners made the Sleeping Child
Springs road II county highway,
considerable work toward putting
the road in more serviceable
condition has been done by a force Of
men under the direction of Road Super
visor Ben Oertli. The road has in the
past been a hard one to travel, even
for a lightly loaded rig. The road in
many places runs at such a low level
that the high waters of spring have
continued to wash out all road ma
terial with the exception of the larger
rocks, leaving the road i'll bad condi-
ton. These rocks have been the
source Of much annoyance to the
pleasure seeker Who was wiling to
forego a hard jolting jaunt over miles
of uneven roadbed for a few hours at
one Of the pleasant resorts of the
state.
Supervisor Oertli and his men have
already accomplished wonders in the
short time they have been at work.
While still impassable for an automo-
bile, the road has been improved to
| such an extent that a trip over ii in
| q buggy is more of a pleasure. The
work that has been done has heen
confined to the worse spots in the
road. Many large boulders have been
removed from the road, While the low
est spots have been raised BY filling
I the depressions With rocks which Wert
1 then covered With a thick coating oi
| gravel In places the road has been
Wdened as much as possible to ALLOW
| rigs to pass.
O. C.. Cooper, chairman of the board
| of county commissioners, stated this
| morning that it was the intention OF
the board to put the road in as good
| shape as possible for the convenience
| of travel, but that it would probably
| be impossible to convert it into al
| automobile road at this time, Mr.
| Oerth has a camp established in thu
canyon some distance this side of thu
springs, the camp being located neal
a fine bed of gravel and near THAI
part of the road that required TIL,
most attention.. A splendid road te

Hamilton, Sept 80 0Special)-
County Attorney II. C. Packer arrived
home last evening from Helena, where
he attended the first state convention
of the new progressive convention.
Mr.. Packer, who is candidate for re-
election to the office of county .attor-
ney on the progressive ticket, is much
pleased over the new lllrty's first con-
vention. In speaking this morning OF
the convention. Mr.. Packer remarked
that the gathering was a real conven-
ton of live, progressive, and repre-
sentative Montanans. Il think there
were a lot of people in Helena on Fri
day and Saturday who We're more
than a little surprised by the strength
of the progressive party movement IN
Montana, as indicated by the conven-
tion, and the caliber Of the men who
gathered to participate IN the work
to be done,' declared Mr Packer.
I'VE had present a large representa-
ton OF delegates from all parts OF the
state, besides many followers Of the
progressive movement. Who came to
AID IN The WOFk OIL lduIlCHlH6 liic peAA -
in state politics. The, presence OF
Theodore Roosevelt and Senator Joseph
M. Dixon on the convention floor did
much to arouse enthusiasm to the
highest pitch, although the fighting
sincerity of every one in the conVen-
tion was characteristic feature OF
the gathering.
Mr. Packer also expressed himself
as impressed with the strength OF the
ticket put before the voters OF the
state by the convention. 1T was very
apparent to me that every man named
on the ticket is a fighter from the
word CO." declared MI. Packer. When
those nominees of the convention get
back into their home districts there
is bound to be something doing ever
minute until the polls are opened in
November. They are all strong, clean
enthusiastic men, worthy of the con
fidence and vote of every voter OF the
state.''

the name of the president was spoken
they burst into vociferous acclamation.
When they heard the suggestion that
the Republican party continue its ad-
ministration they indorsed 1t by the
most emphatic utterance at their COM
mand. Why did they want another
term for President Taft? What Is 1t
