Public Improvements
Down At Interior

NSCh anu uulinS Il SOliNcISdtlOi
with Harlan c. Snodgrass, the
hustling banker at our neighboring
town, we learned that Castle Butte
Township, township just west of
Interior and in Pennington county,
are building roads that are worthy
of note. They have built a road
from the east line, the full six miles
to the west side of the township
that is first class in every partic-
ular. From what we learned the
building of this road is causing
much favorable comment by peo-
pie who go from Interior to Conata,
and especially is this so from
travellers from the east who have
had occasion to go over this road.
While we have not been over the
road ourselves, we feel that the
residents of Castle Butte township
should be most highly compli-
mented in being able to secure the
services of such public spirited
township officials as there's must
be. We do not known who had
charge oil this road work but under
stand that the township board is
composed of F. M. Walker, A. ID.
Sweet and George O7Bryan and
that it is due to their efficiency that
this good road is now being enjoy
ed and talked Of so far and wide.
Good roads are thing that go
no little way to show the progress
iveness Of the people of the COM
munity. Good roads mean saw
ing in dollars and cents to the tax
payer and to the community, and
we are glad that Cedar Butte town
ship over near Interior, has shown
her belief in this fact. We trust
thai !: will NOT Tie long until al our
townships will build permanent
roads and get in the game the way
the township referred to has.
The Press believes in publishing
improvements that will advertise
the community in which they are
made, and while it is not often that
we get information concerning i'm
provements OF this kind, we shall
be glad to publish anything that
Interior, or any other town or COM
munity is doing anytime, for we
feel that it is our sacred duty to
assist in every way we can, the
good work being done by our pub
lie spirited men and women. The
Press believes in boosting, we be-
leive in publishing the good that
our friends have done and are
doirg, instead of having to be COM
PEELED to ITO the cemetery and read
the inscription of their good works
upon their tombstones. 1t is
cheaper and makes everyone con-
cerned feel better and it is better.
This paper has the interests of the
west river people at heart and all
you need to do at anytime is to let
us know of any Improvement you
are making which will go toward
making us better country and the
front page Of the Press is yours.
We enjoy boosting the live wire
he is a credit to us all-and we
think the following lines are very
fitting to express our sentiments
in this regard.
"If you'd like to live in the kind of a
community.
In the kind of a community you'd like.
You needn't pack your things in a
grip,
And start on long. long hike.
For you will only find. what you've
left behind,
There Is nothing that's really new.
It's a knock at yourself, when you
knock at your community,
IL isn't your community, it's you.
Real communities are not made by
men afraid.
Lest somebody else get head,
When everybody works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise a community from the
dead
And IL while you make your personal
stake.
Your neighSor can make one too,
Your community will be what you'd
like to see.
1t isn't yonr community. its yon.'
