Judge Conner to Audit Mileage
Claims in a Sum of Over $1,000 for

County Auditor O'Grady has ap-

ing his big, elegant Buick about this
county on the peoples business is
twenty cents per mile and he is going
to collect that amount or bust some

There will be witnesses present

FARMERS or WESTERN SHERIDAN
COUNTY APPEAL FOR AID

Editor Producers News:
A petition signed by nearly two
hundred freeholders was presented
early in the week to the Beard of
County Commissioners, asking that
they call an election at the earliest
possible date and. submit to the vot-
ers the question of furnishing relief
to farmers who are unable to procure
seed grain, feed and provisions.
The, Commissioners have granted
the petition and called an election for
March 25th.
An election for the same purpose
was held on January 3rd, 1920, and at
that time it was turned down by a
large majority.
This was due largely to the fact
that most of the farmers did not un-
derstand the conditions which prevail
throughout the central and western
part Of the county. A great many
farmers also voted against the pro-
position at that time believing that
they could secure the necessary help
from the local banks. Since that
time, however, conditions have chang
ed and in great number of cases
where the farmers expected to be able
to borrow and the banks expected to
be able to loan such money, it is not
now possible to do so. For this rea-

PROPERTY OWNERS TURN DOWN

Froid Tribune: The mass meeting

brought out a fair representation of
the property owners.
A representative of a Great Falls
concern was here and furnished esti-
mates of the approximate cost of in-
stalling such systems, and after the
matter had been quite thoroughly dis
cussed and figures presented, a vote
Of the meeting was taken which
showed that the most of the property
owners were against the movement
at this time.
According to figures presented the
cost of sewerage and waterworks for
an adequate equipment would amount
to upwards of one hundred thousand
dollars, which was considered alto
gether out of the question in view of
the fact that conditions throughout
the country are in such an unsettled
way and the most of materials con-
tinually on the increase.

son the necessity for help to needy
farmers is much more urgent than it
appeared to be at the time the elec-
tion was held in January.
In the western part of the County
it is safe to say that at least fifty per
cent of the farmers need help and
unless it is furnished by the County,
these farmers will be totally unable
to secure seed or feed. It is there
fore important that all the farmers in
the County, those who do not require
help, as we'll as, those who do, should
turn out on the day of election and
support this measure. Those who are
fortunate enough not to require as
sistance should take an unselfish view
and vote to furnish help to those who
are the victims of misfortune. The
farmers of the western part of the
County appeal to those in the eastern
part to come to their assistance and
give them aid in the only way possible,
that is, by enabling the County Com
missioners to give help to those who
need it, and who without such as
sistance are placed in a position,
where they can do nothing to help
themselves.

PRONOUNCE DREADFUL
$50 MALEDICTIONS

Sheridan county now has no county
agent. The county agents office is
closed: The county agents work in
Sheridan county for the time being
will cease. The Sheridan County Farm
Bureau will not function for the time
being. The gopher determination
work will be dropped. All this be-
cause Sheridan county is cursed by
couple Of county commissioners,
both ignorant and stupid, who are
actuated, it seems, entirely by their
selfish interests and their prejudices,
rather than by any interest in the
public welfare; by men who every mo-
tive is a motive of personal prejudice
and small personal spite. That is
the reason that County Agent Ander-
son has hen .dismissed. and NO -otber.r
Tuesday afternoon, the Directors of
the Sheridan County Farm Bureau
met at Plentywood to close the Farm
Bureau business, and check in to the
County Commissioners. It seems
that Commissioners Matkins and Tim
mons had ordered Anderson to get
out Of the Court House or be elected,
and affairs had to be settled and set
tied quickly.
John Stoner for the Farm Bureau
went before the Board of County
Commissioners and informed that
august body that the Farm Bureau
had its report completed and was
ready to check out, and asked that the
commissioners or man designated by
them, meet~with a member of the
Farm Bureau and check and receive
such supplies and fixtures and other
artices Of value belonging to the
county, now: in the possession of the
Farm Bureau. -
Whereupon Commissioner Matkin
went into a rage, and with eyes bulg-
ing from his head tbs reported, and
fairly frothing at the mouth, and in
other ways performing more like a
dangerous maniac than a normal hui
man being, demanded the County
Agents report then and there, and
shouted at the top Of his voice the
County Commissioners would check in
the material by themselves and when
they pleased, and without the assist
ance of the Farm Bureau or any of
their ilk, and if they did not obey,
they, the county commissioners would
commit some untoward and terrible
punishment upon the members of the
Farm Bureau directors.
The Farm Bureau directors, howev-
er, refused to check in or to hand in
the County Agents report until the
County Commissioners went with an
agent of the Farm Bureau and check
ed in with him. u.
The farmers of Sheridan county
have had dealings with the county
commissioners before.
They know who they are dealing
with and they are not going to take
any chances on them.
The Farm Bureau Directors feel
that they owe it to County Agent
Anderson to see to it that he is pro-
perly checked out and not give the
commissioners an opportunity or a
age after the County Agent has gone,
and it is felt that it would be danger-
Gus to give the above gents chance
to juggle things.

 According to Dcgan's reports, ap- proximatcly $2O,COO,0OO worth of low grade ore is now blocked out in this district The work, which has been extending over period Of years, has been, and is being done by the cliurn-drill process, and there arc now 250 churn-drill holes in the district, varying from l5O to 900 feet ill depth.
 The ore in this district, contain ing gold, silver, lead, zinc and cop per, in varying quantities, while not high grade, exists in large enough quantities of good low grade to make development work distinctly worth while. Operations in the dis trict are being continued steadily, until such time as enough ore shall have been blocked out to justify the construction of a railroad into the district. said to be a rather difficult piece of engineering.
 The Arizona Bagdad company has expended well over million dollars in work on their property, Degan stated yesterday At present they arc at work on a good wagon road connecting the district with the Hill side road
