the proposed state and federal aid pro-
jects, totaling II miles, thus not only
speeding up the work, but relieving
the State Highway Commission of
the expense that the Commission is
not able to stand at this time. 1t was
also determined at the conference that
just as fast as the projects could be
surveyed, the plans drawn and adver-
Using for bids could be done, that the
balance Of the II miles would be
built.
In addition to securing action on
the highways of the county, Ward
county was also assigned ten army
trucks, which will be equipped with
dump bodies. Bids for the dump body
equipment will be opened at Minot,
June 10th. These trucks will be used
continually this summer and fall for
crawling roads and using them for
dragging all the roads of the county.
Much progress is being made with
the building and maintaining Of roads
in Ward county. Just recently the
County Board ordered road planer,

WILL GET STATE AND
FEDERAL AID ROADS
County Assured Of Several Projects
"a Being Built This Summer-Se-
cure Ten Army Trucks

Ward county is going to get some
more state and federal aid road this
year despite the fact that the State
Highway Commission is short Of funds
and men. Chairman A. 8. Spicher Of
the county board, and Will E. Hol-
bein, secretary of the Minot Associa-
ton of Commerce, called on the State
Highway Commission at Bismarck,
Saturday and after talking the mat
ter over for some time the Commits
sion assured these men. that at least
fourteen miles, or two projects, would
be built this year, the bids to be open
ed about the middle of June.
Messrs. Spicher and Holbein were
armed with a resolution from the
County Board of Commissioners Of
fering to use the County Surveyor
and his force of engineers to make

a scarifier and roller, and just as
soon as this equipment arrives, which
should be within q few days, the road
planer will be started at work on
the roads and kept at it until snow
flies, to the end that Ward county
will have the smoothest highways Of
any county in the state. Two trucks
have been at work all last week drag
ging the roads-one in the western
part of the county, and one working
on the roads leading into Minot.
These trucks will be kept at the work
of dragging the roads until the other
equipment arrives.
Several members of the county
board have in mind a comprehensive
county road building program. which
if put into effect will assure this
county of the best roads to be found
anywhere. AT the present time the
$4,000. 1t is figured that at least
built in each township in the county
during the next four years from this
highway levy, and at the end of four
years the levy can be cut down to
around $4,000 for upkeep, thus saw
ing the county an immense amount
of money in the years to come. All
these roads would lead towards some
town, and each section of the road
would connect up with the others.
County Surveyor Frahm has made
draft of the proposed roads, and it
certainly looks feasible and sensible
to the man who wants good roads.
The townships could then use their
road money in building substantial
highways to connect up with the coun-
ty road system.
Ward county is definitely pledged
to state and federal aid highways,
and the man or men that attempt to
stop this good work will have only
criticism for their pains.

poison. The county commissioners
have agreed to finance the gopher cam
up campaign. All supplies will be
purchased by the county and furnished
the township officers at cost. The
gopher poison will be mixed under
the supervision of the county agent.
Burke county officials are going after
the gophers Systematically and are
planning on making thoro clean.

A heavy wind carried an immense
lot of thistles and tumbling mustard
into Van Hook and piled them up
against the garden fences, just after
the citizens had cleaned their town
up nicely. Near that town a high
wind piled weeds up against half
mile fence, tearing out the posts.
