DAD laws which have been on the
statute books Of various states
N for more than 100 years win
probably be repealed as a result OF
the movement which has been inau-
gurated by the American Highway as
ISOLATION i'm conjunction with thd
American Bar association. The COM
mittees appointed by the two associa-
tlons have had prepared through the
cooperation Of the U. S office of pub
nc roads a complete literal complIa-
Ilon Of the road laws Of ali the states,
as well as the laws relating to IN
debtedness, the use Of convict labor
and various other subjects which have
hearing upon the management Of the
public roads. An index chart for these
various laws is now being prepared,
and as soon as it is completed the COM
mittces viii determine upon the lines
along which revision viii be sought
The governors Of the various states
will then be asked to recommend to
the legislators as they meet, the ap-
pOiUtmcnt OF special committees to
confer with the committees OF the
american Highway association and the
American Bar association, with view
to adequate revision Of existing road
laws
The first step in the revision Of the
state road laws viii be to recommend
ehat all obsolete, useles or upneces-
sary road laws be repealed. The next
step win be to simplify and arrange IN
logical order the existing necessary
road laws. The committee has found
that I'm some of the states an accumu-
Iation Of road laws running back over
100 years exists, thus creating almost
hopeless confusion. Certain basic fea-
lures of good administration viii be
urged by the joint committees, such as
the payment Of road taxes in cash: the
elimination Of q multitude Of unneces-
sary road officials now characteristic
OF many of the states; the require
ment Of skilled supervision in the ac-
tuaI construction and maintenance Of
roads by providing qualification tests;
the constant employment Of highway
engineers or superintendents: the
adoption Of the appointiVe rather than
the elective method for such officials;
the substitution of continuous main
tenance for the present intermittent
method; the proper utilization Of con-
vict labor where climatic and other
conditions warrant its use on the pub
lie roads for the preparation Of road
materials; the general adoption of the
principle Of state aid and supervision;

Married in Helena.

Monday evening at Helena occurred |
the marriage of Susan Grace Jones |
and DR.. Charles Z. Blank enhorn,
both Of this city, the Rt. Rev. Bishop |
Brewer officiating. The pretty and |
impressive Episcopal ceremony WAS
used and only the immediate relatives
of the contracting parties We're pres
ent.
The bride is the daughter of Marvin
Jones, one of the best known sheep
men in northern Montana, and is
purely Montana product, having
been born in Chinook and with the
exception Of her school life, has lived
here and at Chinook all the time.
She Isl young lady of refinement and
rare ability and is held in the highest
esteem and respect by the entire
community. Her friends are limited
only by her acquaintances.
The Doctor has been in Malta since
the early spring in partnership with
DR.. Clay. and has made friends as
fast as he could meet with the public.
He is a Wisconsin boy having gradu-
ated from the medical school at Ann
Arbor, after which he spent year
in the hospital at Butte. He spent
one summer here several years ago
when attending school, the guest Of
his schoolmate, DR.. Jones. Since his
location here he has had a heavy
practice, and in every case been very
successful. lie is a man with a very
bright future and if honest and hard
work count for anything he will be
found at the top in short time.
The young couple will spend a sew
eral days honeymoon in the western
part of the state, after which they will
return to this city where they have
a modern bungalow under construc-
ton i'm the Suryant add ition, where
they will be at home to theirnnmerous
friends. We join in wishing them a

tic touches. The new entrance way
with facilities for the fast selling of
admission tickets proved a boon, while
the additional space between the old
gate and the new served admirably
for the parking of the many autos.
The crowds are filled with the proper
spirit of fun-making and to date there
has been no trouble encountered by
Major James Keown, the state fair
chief of police. A band of regular U
S. militia is encamped on the grounds,
and the soldiers are proving to be fine
guards, and are likewise getting ;
chance to view the attractions of the
fair. The boast that the state fai1

Petitions Beirlg Circulated.

Last Friday morning a number OF
the petitions asking for the creation
Of Phillips county out of portion of
Valley and Blaine counties was cir
culated, and since then the committee
has been busy getting signatures.
Even the most enthusiastic boosters
for the new proposed county have
been surprised at the returns and the
way the voters are signing the petit
tions. In almost every precinct they
have been unanimous in signing the
petitions, and only in very few cases
has any one refused to sign. In the
country south OF Wagner and Dodson
there were but one or two who failed
to get on the petition, and in the
country north of these two towns the
result was the same. In the country
north of here there was not man
who failed to sign, as well as III the
south country. The town of Dodson
responded correspondingly as we'll as
the country tributary to that point.
In Saco the results have been about
the same with those who have had
the petition presented to them for
their signatures. When the petitions
are all in the latter part of this week
they will show that at least 95 per
cent. of the voters have signed them
for the creation of the new county, if
not more. The law requires but SO
per cent, and the way the people are
signing up for the question to be put
up to the voters at a special elec.
tion there is no doubt but that the
proposition will carry by an enor
