Discussed County Road Mattsra


Another interesting and instructive
"get together" public meeting was
held by residents of Big Sandy last
week, the principal subject of dis
cussion being the best method of
raising funds for building roads. Com.
missioner 1hmsen addressed the meet
ing OF the question of road building.
There were present about all of the
business men and voters, who cared
to attend. The sentiment of the meet
ing was for an extensive program for
the building of new roads in the coun-
ty. A proposed bond issue for roads
was discussed and the meeting went
on record as favoring this plan. The
idea is to have a bond issue for $1OO,.
900 put to the voters of the county
as soon rs possible. The commission
ers to sell $4,000 of these bonds each
year until the money is spent. It is
figured that the attorney general
would hold this method permissible,
and it would save the county the ex-
pense of holding several elections. In
case this procedure is not legal. the
meeting petitioned the commissioners
to submit a $4,000 issue to the voters.
Several of the counties have decid-
ed to adopt the plan of issuing bonds
for road work. believing that future
residents who will enjoy the advan-
tage of good roads should pay part of
the cost of building them.

Seattle Youths On Hike

H. Stafford, Seattle high school
youths, briskly walked into Helena
today, en- route overland from Seattle
to Great Falls. They left Seattle Feb.
ruary 16 and have averaged 40 miles
a day. They were given thirty days
in which to make the trip. excluding
Sundays, and are now three days
ahead of their schedule.
"Two business men of Seattle got

Plan Parcel Post Libraries

The Montana Country Life Educa.
ton association is preparing to equip
and operate a travelling library for
rural school districts and villages.
There are many rural districts in
Montana without the necleus of a H.
brary and many others secure a few
books which are soon read and then
neglected so that the reading habit is
not encouraged.
The list of books for the travelling
library will be selected by a compe-
tent committee and will then be SUBJ
mitted to the state superintendent for
his approval. The parcels post will
be utilized for transporting the cases.
which will weigh about ten pounds
each.
Districts which raise SO or more
for the fund will receive first consid-
Grafton, and may have a case of books
every month, carriage both ways paid
by the association for at least one
year. Rural districts are urged to
raise the SO membership fee by
means of an entertainment OF by pri.
vate subscription. Many communities
will be glad to contribute to a fund
which will give them standard books
and bulletins every month. The asso-
citation also earnestly requests that
public spirited citizens contribute to
the fund. Anyone contributing SO or
more will be entitled to designate the
community to be served. Send con.
tributiOnS to Miss Jessie POindexter.
treasurer, Harlowtown, Montana.
Simple rules and regulations have
been prepared and the plans will be
published oon Distributing points
will be designated for different sec.
tons of the state having districts to
be served. Write to j. H. Hoist, Boze-
man, for further particulars.
The first cases will be sent out Sep
TENDER, 1914, but now is the time to
begin work for a worthy cause.

Montana Alfalfa Seed

When the Canadian Pacific railroad
comes to Montana for alfalfa seed, it
means that Montana seed is recog-
nized as the best to be found in the
world, and indirectly it is a most sub.
stantial tribute to the agricultural
possibilities of this state, says the
Helena Independent.
Such recognition and such a tribute
has come, and interesting, indeed, are
the incidents which lead up to it. A
short time ago a man named Jacobs
dropped into a real estate Office in the
town of Chinook in northern Montana,
While there his attention was attract
ed by various samples of seed, partic-
ularly, however, in a sample of alfal-
ia seed and made inquiries as to
where it came from and where he
could get into communication with the
man who raised it, or the person who
had charge of it.
From this information Mr.. Jacobs,
who, by the way is purchasing agent
for the Canadian Pacific department
of national resources, traced the seed
to the State Nursery company in Hell
ena, and yesterday he closed a con-
tract with the State Nursery company
for a carload of this seed, and it is
nov being loaded and will be shipped
to Canada for distribution at the var
ious Canadian experiment farms and
among the various farmers in the vi
cinity of Shatmore and Calgary.
This seed was grown by Roberts
and Brown on their farm near Chin.
ook, and turned over to the State
Nursery company in this city, the gen.
eral agents. The seed took the first
premium at the state fair here, and
was in the third place in the seed con.
contest at Dallas, Tex. In the purity
test it stood 1910.

Advantage Taken Of Weight Ruling

advantage AIKEN OF weight NuItn9
During the past 10 days Great Falls
newspapers have called attention to
the fact that the 50-pound maximum
for parcel post packages in the first
and second zones was not being taken
advantage of by shippers, says the
Great Falls Leader. The advertising
the parcel post has received through
the papers appears to have had some
effect, for yesterday ten Of the limit
packages were received at the local
postoffice from consigners in the city
BY a strange coincidence all OF
these large paroles were consigned to
M merchant who has a store on q
rural route. According to express
rates and rulings this merchandise
would bring the rural carrier about
81 per hundredweight for carrying
but under parcel post tariffs the car
rier gets nothing for his pains.
The carrier on the route over which
this large shipment was carried to
day is also the merchant at the othel
end of the line, and the merchant tt
, whom the goods were consigned.
