EDY IN REVIEW OF
STATE ROAD WORK
CONTRACTS LET AND WORK BE-
GUN OR FINISHED ON $50
MILES OF GOOD ROADS
Work Started on II Projects in 81
Counties; Predicts Passage of the
Chamberlain Bill by Which Mon
tana Will Receive $S,OOO,OO0 for
Road Work.

John N. Edy, chief engineer of the
state highway commission, in re
port of road activities, says during
the year 1920 and until October 20
the commission has placed under con-
struction agreement II projects in
80 counties, representing $50 miles
of road and 26 bridges, at total
price of $5,505, 245.41. The road i'm
provements include the following:
Earth or roadside material grading
projects, 174.7 miles; gravel and
macadam surfacing projects, 354.6
miles; bituminous concrete pavement
1.37 miles; Portland cement concrete
pavement, 1887 miles.
"Of the above projects" he coz
tinues, al in 20 counties were let
by contract to road and bridge con-
tractors; 80 projects in 18 counties
were let to counties by agreement
whereby the counties undertook to-
build the improvement for the state
at the estimated cost. All contracts
were awarded with the approval of
the interested board of county COM
missioners, both as to type and price.
"Prior to Januar y 1, 1920, the
commission had contracted 20 prof.
ects in 15 counties, representing 96.5
miles of road and four bridges at a
total contract cost of S789,630.24.
Work Actually Under Way
mot all projects covered by con-
struction agreement are actually I'M
der way, for reasons beyond the con-
troll of the commission. The princi- |
pal reasons are inability to secure
labor; inability on the part of the
county to secure funds; and, in resi-
pect to some bridge projects, inabil-
ity to secure shipment of steel. No
work has been done on Is projects
let to contractors and on nine pro-
jects undertaken by counties.
However, 50 projects are today
actually under construction or COM
pleted, and monthly estimates are
being paid regularly for work done.
These state road projects actually in
the process of building represent 442
miles in % different counties. The

/ that they must have little rest.
The Seventh was therefore sent, but
| in an hour or so a courier reported
| that the Seventh was in need of aid,
SO once more the weary negroes sad
died their horses and spurred them
into lope toward the scene of the
| fight. After covering the seven
miles they attacked the Sioux and
carried three ridges in gallant style.
After sharp fighting the Seventh was
extricated and the day saved.
In "a hours elapsed time the Ninth
cavalry had ridden 108 miles-aetual
time in the saddle % hours. They
had fought two engagements and had
rested only two hours. Marvellous to
relate only one horse died from the
effects. This was the most famous
ride ever made by United States
troops. For it Henry was given his
sixth brevet-the rank of major-gen-
eral.
General Henry took part in the
Spanish-American war, and later was
appointed governor of Porto Rico,
where he contracted his fatal illness. |
Health conditions were very bad |
there at the time. One by one all of |
his staff officers were invalided to |
the United States. Henry refused to |
leave and remained at his post until |
he collapsed.
Guy V. Henry is remembered by |
his fellow officers as one of the most
figures in the history of the
army. He was beloved for his spirit
Of self-sacrifice and his deeds of Il
heroism were source of inspiration
to the men under him. No drawer
soldier ever fought on the plains of
Montana.

Work Ready to Contract

operations above noted, "a projects
