Convicts Work on Roads

Kalispell, Nov. 10.-A total of 100
prisoners from the state penitentiary
are now at work on che wagon road
on the east shore of Flathead lake,
and If the weather continues favor
able the work will be entirely com
pleted this fall. Under adverse con-
ditions, it is thought that everything
but the rock work will be completed.
Se%venty-ive men have been at work
for a month or more, and a new party
of IS joined the ranks today. They
were transported from Deer Lodge to
Ravalli, where County commissioner
Laux met them with Is teams, and
they were driven to the camp at yell

MAKE BETTER TOWNS
Municipal Improvements Will Benefit
Every Member Of Community


The work Of municipal improve
ments YES the subject of an inter-
esting discussion at a meeting held
in the city hall Friday evening, at
which a number of property owners
were present. The matter was pre-
sented by A. l.. Jacqueth, of Kalis-
pell, a civil engineer who has had
charge of improvement work in Chi
nook and other Montana towns, and
whose experience covers a period of
about twenty years.
Some instructive information was
given in Mr.. Jacqueth's remarks. He
discussed the methods adopted and
the extent of the work undertaken by
various municipalities in which inn
proved conditions have resulted
The work included sewerage systems,
grading and paving or matchmaking
the streets, installation of efficient
street lighting systems, and other i'm
provements from which the general
public has derived benefit. In ad-
lition to making these towns more
desirable places in which to live, Mr..
Jacqueth submitted figures to demon
strate that the improvement work was
a profitable financial investment, as
it added largely to the value of prop
erty located in the district affected.
A general discussion followed Mr..
Jacqueth's remarks, in which a num-
Der of property owners participated.
The d~esirability Of adopting q uni
form and comprehensive plan of tnl-
provement work in Fort Benton was
urged by several of the speakers, the
construction of sanitary and storm
sewers, and grading and macadami:-
ing the streets, being features to
which special attention was directed.
Mr.. Jacqueth offered to prepare a
rough sketch of improvement work
| along the lines favored by the citi-
zens present, and to submit the plans
at a meeting to be held Monday ev
ening, Nov. II. This arrangement
met with approval, and it is hoped
there will be a large attendance of
| citizens at the meeting on the date
above mentioned.
1t was remarked by one of the
| speakers that a town is like a bust
ness firm in some respects-it can
not stand still. It must either ad-
vance or fall behind. Municipal i'm
provements are an important factor
in the growth and development of any
community, and it is hoped the citi.
zens of Fort Benton will keep step
with other Montana Gowns in the
march of progress.

State GRANGE at 1ozeman

A bulletin issued from the state ag.
ricultural college announces the date
of the annual meeting of the state
grange at Bozeman on Tuesday and
Wednesday, January 20 and 21, with
the state college grange.
State Lecturer F. S. Cooley is pre-
pairing a program for the occasion
that will include men of national rep
utation. Hon N. P. Hull, of Michigan,
lecturer of the national grange and
chairman of the congressional COM
mittee, is expected.
Farmers organization is one of the
most important rural problems of the
day, and much attention is being be-
slowed upon its solution. A helpful
organization of farmers that will &C
operate with business organizations
to mutual advantage rather than an
tagonize other enterprises is desired.
The grange is ar organization that
has stood the test for two generations
and has eliminated features which ex-
perience has shown to be impractical.
Its great benefit has come through So
cial and educational work, the latter
tending to s~elf-teaching which en-
dures. 1t is the most conservative,
the largest and the best farmers or
%ganization in the world.
Farmers week at the agricultural
college at Bozeman begins on January
21, following the grange meeting. A
great gathering Of rural leaders and
farmers is expected and a program of
surprising interest is being prepared.

More than forty growers met last

That the contract agreement of The
Roswell Seed company be accepted
in getting crates at $11.25 per carload
lot, or Is cents if the grower wished
to buy by the wagonload lot, or if
100 was bought at a time, 10 cents.
It was suggested that the growers
buy in carload lots.
Growers should figure on it taking
100 standard to the acre
The executive committee also gave
notice that they could not agree to
take care of the over-ripe or yellow
markets The growers must take
care of all stuff that can not be ship
ped to the eastern markets. They
will, however, try to place the melo'
ons, but on no promise. They will
endeavor to get cheaper express
rates to west Texas and west New

Pohl came through with his dia-
mond ring, valued at $3.50.
On the day appointed for the dig
ging of the treasure, the madame in
vited Pohl to remain to luncheon with
her. she was very kind to him; and,
as Pohl says, didn't charge him a
cent for the dinner" Before Pohl
left she postponed the time for the
unearthing Of the treasure and had
arranged for him to make a garden
for her.
The next day, the madame received
hurry-up message from Silver City,
to direct the digging for certain other
buried treasure. The madame explain
ed her predicament to Pohl. 1t was
absolutely necessary for her to go to
Silver City. No one knew of the ex-
istence of his treasure. She would re-
turn soon and show him where to dig
She also promised to send for him in
three days and have him work in Sill
yer City digging for the treasure there
at $40 a day.
The postponement was agreeable tc
Pohl. He waited patiently for the
letter that never came.
