A Wec@ ago yesterday at three d
clock, the house of representatives "a
Helena, passed the Roosevelt count
bill, creating a new county out of 1
south half of Sheridan county.
The bill now goes to the senate an,

going to fool US, and prove that he
meant what he said. However it may
yet prove to be camoufage, and to
be given out for soothing syrup pur-
poses. Time will tell.
The Board Of County Commission

Then, the Poplar Standard, it is
resumed, will get an infusion of new
lood by way of the printing contract.
Veinrich knows how to arrange that,
