At a meeting of the board of coun-

of this week, March 22nd was named
as the date on which the electors of
the county will decide on the issuance
of bonds not to exceed the sum of
100000 for the purpose of purchas-

other necessary supplies for those far

procure them.
The petitions had previously been
presented to the board signed by a
large number of representative far
mers and business men throughout
the county.
That part of the election proclama-
tion pertaining to the purpose of the
election reads as follows:

SECRETARY URGES AID
In WESTERN ROAD WORK
Advocates Provision for Continuance
of U. S. Activities Under Fed
eral Aid Act.

, Speaking February II before high
way representatives from western
states, Edwin T. Meredith, secretary
of agriculture, stated his belief that
in the western states, where large
areas Of government lands are To-
Gated, the federal government should
adopt system of financial cooper
alton more liberal to the states than
is the case in the rest of the country.
81 think we must recognize the fact
that the existence of these large
areas of government lands places
these states in somewhat different
situation from the remainder of the
country" said Mr.. Meredith, "and that
it would be only equitable for the fed
eral government to increase it's per-
centage of cooperation over the pres
ent basis. I am also heartily in ia
vor of continuing the appropriations
for the building of national forest
roads. These forests constitute great
natural resource and their develop
ment is a national responsibility which
ought to be met in full measure"
Mr.. Meredith advocated active con-
tinuation of federal and state cooper
alton in connecting state road systems
of adjoining states in order that the
working out Of an adequate highway
program for the whole United States
may proceed in an orderly manner.
He also advocated the continuance of
work now going on under the federal
aid road act.
"As 1921 is the last year covered
by the act" he said, "it would be high
ly desirable, in my opinion, for con-
gress to make provision as promptly
as possible for the continuation of the
work under the present system by an
appropriation of at least $1OO,OO0,-
600 for each of the four fiscal years
beginning with 1922"

ROAD MEN BOOST
ROOSEVELT ROAD
Big Meeting at Williston Yester-
day Wants Quick Action on
Roosevelt Highway.

A large number of delegates from
Montana and North Dakota met with
l. w. Lee, secretary of the nationa
organization of the Roosevelt High
way association, at Williston or
Thursday, March 4th, for the purpose
of working out plans for marking and
advertising that stretch of the road
passing through northern Montana
and northern North Dakota, which was
recently designated as the Roosevelt
highway.
Two state organizations were Gre
ated at this meeting which will be
known as the Theodore Roosevelt
Highway Association of Montana and
the Theodore Roosevelt Highway AS
sociation of North Dakota. C. R.
Hauke Of Chinook and L. E. Jones OF
Glasgow were elected president and
secretary of the Montana association
and Will E. Holbein of Minot was
selected president and Henry F. Doo-
ley of Williston, secretary for the
North Dakota organization. Montana
had four times as many representa-
tives at this gathering as the North
Dakota town did, which only expresses
the interest in this great intemation-
al highway by the northern Montana
towns. Practically every town in nor
thern Montana sent a representative.
The establishing of this route over
northern Montana will be a great fac
tor in the upbuilding Of the various
communities.
The marking of the route will be-
gin as soon as weather conditions per-
NIT. The cost of marking will be in
the neighborhood of So per mile which
will be taken care of by the various
counties along the route. County COM
missioners from Blaine and Roosevelt
counties have already pledged them
selves to go ahead with this work, as
a state law provides for the marking
of highways within the counties.
The national organizations will fur

total vote in the state cast for the
governor at the last election is re-
quired.
In dismissing the proceedings the
court upheld the contention that the
petitions are sufficient and that the
certificates of county clerks are all
that is required for the secretary of
state to proceed upon when fraud
is not involved and that the court
cannot go behind the certificates of
county clerks.
The case is decided upon its mer-
its and not upon technicalities.
BY this decision the voters of Mon
tana will pass upon the "closed" pri-
mary law at the regular election in
the fall, similarly as upon other ref
erendum measures enacted by the leg
islature, to become effective on ap-
proval by the voters.

NORWAY WANTS ID PUT PNEUMAT|CS
 ON ITS TRUCKS First Country to Propose National Legislation to
 Specify Motor
 Equipment

Norway is the first country in the world to propose national Legislation that will specify that motor trucks up to two tons capacity, must be equipped with pneumatic tires so as to prevent damage to roads and to cut down the excessive cost of highway repairs due to the use of solid tires.
 Cable advices to the Goodyear Tire &Rubber Company, which have been foremost in advocating the use of pneu- matics for the purpose of saving roads. indicate that the proposed Legislation vii be adopted in the near future. In fact, motor trucks shipped abroad by American manufacturers have already been refused admission because they did not confirm to the new wheel and tire specifications.
 All mobiles used for commercia purposes must be equipped with tires of at least five inch tread ons all four wheels. This means up to two tons trucks must be pneumatically equipped from two to three and half tons either pneumatic or solid equipment of more than five inch tires is permissible while trucks of over three and hAia tons weight may run on solids.
