PURCHASE Of FLEET
Of HIGHWAY TRUCKS
BY CARBON COUNTY
Commissioners to Take Over Six
Army Trucks and Will Build
It's Own Roads.

Red Lodge, Dec. 6-With the expec-
tation that it may be able to build its
own federal aid projects hereafter, Car
bon county has arranged for the purchase
from the state highway commission of a
half-dozen heavy trucks that formerly
did service In the army. The board of
county commissioners took up a proposal
received from the state commission that
the county purchase one or more of the
trucks turned over to it by the govern
ment The prices quoted BY the state
highway commission were S275 each for
new "Quad" trucks and $3.50 each for
trucks with dump bodies. The cheaper
trucks are equipped with ammunition
bodies.
For the consideration the county re-
ceives the truck and while title remains
with the state highway commission the
county retains the vehicle until it is worn
out. The county commissioners decided
to purchase six Of the trucks, one of them
Of the Quad variety and the other five
with dump bodies.
In making this purchase the commits
sioners debated the possibility of the
county building it's own federal aid road
projects, which will entail an expenditure
Of 100000 in the county during the next
year. The commissioners believe that if
such an arrangement is possible employ
ment will be provided for residents of
the districts In which the projects are
laid out and the biggest part OF the ex-
penditure will be retained at home.
If the branching out of the county as
a road contractor is prohibited, the
trucks viii be available on county road
work and maintenance of roadways and
may be used by federal aid road contrac-
tors under the supervision Of the coun-
ty board. The purchase of the trucks is
q provision for an extensive campaign Of
roadwork to be launched next spring

Hill County Voters
Petition Retention
of the County Agent

Havre, Dec. 6.-Petitions are beng
circulated among the voters of the county
tural agent, which position has been ably
filled In the past by Paul F. Banker.
A large number Of signers have express
ed a desire by signing the petitions, for
a continuance of this work. and they
universally favor the retention of Mr..
Banker in the position. A point made
in the connection is that 1t would cost
the farmers only 30 cents each to retain
him in this position, after Liberty county
is detached. which they regard as a very
small matter compared to the returns
from the various activities of the office,
like procuring gorher poison, finding
improved seeds, and organizing cam
paigns OF education on seeding and crop
matters.

matter. l have sent you all several
letters and cards and l have not
heard from you all. | would have
written more and oftener, but L have
been where 1 could not get the pa

uneasy about me, but l am getting

crop by this time and fixing to start
again. l hope he made a good crop.
Wells guess I we'll tell you where
l am now. I am in Germany. l sure

home, but let me tell you, 1 like the
German people better than 1 do the
French. They sure do treat US fine.
The French did not treat us near as
good as the Germans. Well, how
has Christmas been with you all?
We have had plenty of snow. 1t
started to snow here Sunday night
and there is plenty of snow yet and
it sure is cold, too. / am in a warm

right. We have had a fine Christ
mas. 1 had a nice birthday dinner
and supper and some presents, too.
We don't have much to do; drill
about two hours a day and tend to
the horses. 1 guess l had better
close for this time as 1 have not
much to write. Give my love to all
the family. There are some good
looking girls here in Germany.
