tim of Unfortunate Sunday
Morning Accident.
DIED AT HOSPITAL MONDAY
Hit By Car on Highway Near the
Cherry Creek Bridge West of
Glasgow. An Unavoidable Ac-
cident. Skull was Frac-
tured at Base.

An indeed unfortunate, but unavoid-
able accident of Sunday morning last,
resulted in fatal injuries to one, H. w.

accident occurred when the Ford car
driven by M. E. Stebbins, county agri-
cultural agent for Valley county, was
nearing the west end of the Cherry

ployed at the reclamation Service

and were walking from Glasgow to-
ward camp. They had reached the west
end of the Cherry Creek Bridge. when
they heard the signal horn of the ap-
preaching car, Dixon moving to one
side of the road and Nelson to the
other From statements of witnesses
of the accident, it would appear that
Dixon at the last moment had started
to the same side of the road as his
partner, and in his excitement stopped
in the middle Of the highway, just
as the car overlook him.
1t is stated that the car was not
being driven at speed to exceed ten
miles per hour, and that Dixon, in his
excitement had turned Utmost to facing
the car when he was hit, causing a
backward fall which resulted in a
fracture of the base of his skull.
Mr.. Stebbins was accompanied in
the car by J. w. Langdon, who as
sisted in administering first aid and
bringing the man to the local hospital
where he was cared for until the time
of his death, which occurred on Mon
dav evening.
H. w. Dixon was homesteader re-
siding in the Genevieve community,
and is survived by a wife and seven
children, five girls and two boys. Fun
eral services We're held at Hinsdale on
Thursday afternoon, Rev. Allen of

Roosevelt Highway Association
Directors Urge Each State
Work for Federal Aid.
A BIG PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
Budget Increased. Much Moneys Will
Be Spent on Advertising the New
Highway the Coming Season.

"The annual meeting OF the national
directors of the Theodore Roosevelt
international Highway Association,
according to L. f. Jones, who re-
turned from Duluth on Wednesday
"was one we'll worth while and a real
constructive program was arranged
and adopted for the year 1921.
Northern Montana adds Mr.
Jones, 'is fortunate, in that it is 50
situated as to constitute a part of the
territory traversed by this important
highway"
"The most important matter which
came to the attention of the meeting
was the increased budget. Under this
item, $4,000 will be raised for pub
licity and advertising purposes, as
we'll as the securing of the services of
a paid field secretary. If the amount
to be raised, Montana's quota has been
set at $1,000.
The next matter of Importance, and
the item which doubtless is of most
interest to Montanans was the con-
sideration of the opening of that strip
of road at Glacier Park, known as
Roosevelt Pass. A plan was favora0ly
indorsed by the board which had for
its aim the securing of sufficient aid
from the Federal government for the
construction of the proposed Glacier
to Belton' road. The officers of the
various state organizations, in those
states traversed by the Highway at
this meeting pledged themselves to
do their utmost to bring this particular
mater forcibly to the attention of their
congressman at Washington.
"The directors adopted the matter
of a road bulletin service beginning the
coming season, for the information
of tourists. This will include maps,
road information, etc
"The election of officers was held
with +. J. Filiatrault of Duluth, presi-
dent; Max L. Powell, Burlington, VT,

marking is complete except in those

SURVEY FOR OIL NEAR
JORDAN GARFIELD CO.

Miles City, Dec. County Survey
or H. E. Fearnall returned yesterday
from Garfield county, where he spent
ten days stalking out oil claims for the
Sinclair Oil company. This land, which
has been leased by the Sinclair people
lies about 16 miles south of Johrad
The land covers in the neighborhood
Of a township and half.
This section of the country looks
like a very likely oil territory, in the
opinion of Mr.. Fearnal.. In the Law of
the land and in appearance, the county
very much resembles the Mosby oil
field. Mr.. Fearnall brought back with
him several rocks containing fossils
which are regarded as good evidence
that oil may be found. A Northern Pa
cific geologist, who has been looking
over the land, holds the opinion that
this territory will come into it's own as
an oil producing area.
