The Dakota & Montana Tele-

begin extension work that will
add about eighty-six miles to the

permit. 1t is not expected, how

Guard Pictures
Well Attended

The pictures that were shown
at the Star Theatre on Saturday
and Sunday nights, of the South
Dakota National Guard, drew
packed houses and the pictures
were well deserving OF the pat
ronase given. The big drawing
card of the show was the fact
that the Lennon Company was
shown in action and everyone
that saw the pictures had a feel
ing of pride as the local boys ap-
peared on the screen,
The bank climbing feat that
was carried ont by the local com
pany was the feature part Of the
picture and every one of the sol
der boys showed up to advan-
tage.
In the major portion of the pic
ture it was difficult TO pick the
men that were known here, but
when the officers were shown,
Capt. Sheets, Ist Lieut.. HOLMAN
and end Lieut.. Limberger were
easily distinguishablc.
A high dive from the river bank
was one of the principal features
of the show and the irolic of the
cooks gave the performance a
touch Of humor.
Many comments are being made
by local people on the favorable
manner in which Go. X OF this
city compared with the remainder

Perkins Plans For
Good Roads Work

Over thirty thousand dollars
as county expenditure for high
ways, besides the local expend-
itures Of townships, is the propo.
sition for Perkins county for
next year. which is a good start
for one Of the new counties of
the state. Perkins is one of the
few counties of the state, which
has asked for and received as
slstance from the federal govern
ment in the way of services of a
competent highway engineer,
and is also taking up the policy
Of centralizing its road work for
the start on a few main lines to
their county seat, and principal
market towns on the railways
north and south of the county.
These main trunk lines Will bene-
fit practically every resident of
the county, by giving him a good
roadson long hau's to his market
town, and later development
will give the connecting lines
which will give every portion of
the county good roads over which
to get to market.
