Many people in Sheridan county
needed relief very badly, but they
realized that they would never get it
from Messrs. Timmons and Matkins,
in the first place, and that the pro-
posed sum of 100000 was not suffi-
cient for the demands in the second
place; for there would not have been
$40O apiece for the prospective appli-
cants, and those who asked for bread
would have gotten a stone. In the
end, a few favored one would have
gotten relief, while the rest of the
drouth sufferers would have had to
suck their thumbs.
The farmers have not forgotten
that we had a seed grain bond issue
and that the fund is over $20,O00.00
short and that while the Commission
ers and Mr.. Redmond made a trip to
Minneapolis to make a final settle
ment with the Montana & Dakota
Elevator Company, and a final settle
ment is supposed to have been made
at the time when the $4,000 was Slip
ped back into the treasury, yet that
final settlement has never been en-
tered into the records and no one
knows who got the $4,000 that has
disappeared from the county treas
ury.
The vote at the election last Satur-
day was very light. All those who
wanted the bond issue carried, how
ever, voted, while large numbers, not
in favor of the issue stayed away
from the polls. The heaviest vote for
the bonds were cast in the city of
Scobey, and small majorities We're
piled up in the west end of the coun-
ty. In the east end of the county
there were practically no votes cast
for the issue at all.
The unofficial vote as near as it can
be determined, with Coalridge, Ash
dale and Fadness, missing, is 632
votes for the issue and 957 against
the issue, or a ma ajority against of
1926, with the above three precincts
missing.
It will be observed that only 1900
or 1000 votes were cast, which is a
good deal less than the number of
registered voters.
The report in full will be given by
precincts next week.

John A. Hardc"sen, the Archer con-
scientious objectoI, whose cruel and
inhuman treatment in the military
prison at Alcatraz, harbor Of San
Francisco, California, has been set
forth at length heretofore in the COL
umns Of the Producers News, and
which stories appearing in these COL
umns have caused considerable dis
comfture - those responsible,
bringing about several Investigations
on the part of the War Department
in order to try to prove that the al
legations of the Producers News were
not true, has at last been set at lib
erty and will soon be at home with
his friends, where he can devote him..
self to useful work.
Because Of the recent agitation
among the humane element in the
United States, who have become
sickened at the treatment Of Conscien-
tious Directors by brutes who have
by hook or crook gotten into places
of authority, and have given fruit to
instructive brutality under the name
Of patriotic devotion, all conscientious
objectors in the United States are
now at liberty. This was accom-
plished quickly when such magazines
as the Literary Digest took up the
fight for the G. O.

Many canyons, wild, rugged and
beautiful, may be entered from Idaho
Springs. One of the best known is
Virginia Canyon between Idaho
Springs and Central City, with Belle
vue Mountain standing at it's head.
The drive by auto is two and half
or three miles up the mountain and
then it is down grade to Central City.
The average grade of road IS about
10 per cent all the way with 4 or 5
per cent in places, and in one spot
about 23 per cent. This is to be elm
mated shortly. This drive which is
safely taken by auto leads through the
mining district where are located
some of the Oldest and best mines in
the state of Colorado. Of the several
important mines may be mentioned
the Gem Mine, which may be reached
by going through the Newhouse or
Argo Tunnel; the Sun and Moon,
Crown Point, Frontenac in Gilpin
County, Topeka, Old Town, Fairfield,
Calhoun and Leavenworth, near Cen.
