new WRINKLE TO
STATE ROAD PROJECTS

=, Powder River county people will be
interested In a read building expert
ment now being tried out by Custer
funds and under plans and spscf fca-
sion. II the experiment is q sutcess
t r,vn. Is believed believed objections Of Powder
building with federal aid will be over
come.
Dick Richardson. chairman Of the
In Broadus on Wednesday told Of the
read building project on the Yellow
stone. nine miles In length. The state
sstmsas snd atsta for this project was '4sSo
privilege of building the road with ITS
own labor. road tools and machinery
Half of the sum is federal aid. but to
surveys and supervision by an engineer
from the state highway department
The road will be constructed Of gravel
with it's width 12 feet.
Under the old system which the COM
missioners of this county took excep-
tiOn to-, the state board Of commits
stoners let contracts for the road bull d.
firms and in fact the county had very
little to say concerning the permanent
road construction Even the money for
the project was deposited in Helena
conducted in Custer county, the money y
is carried in local banks.
One instance CT objection to state
contracts is cited in Wibaux county
where a road grading contract was let
at "A cents and after this contract had
been sublet four times the work Is now
being done at 2S cents per cubic yard
Mr.. Richardson states it is the policy
of the commissioners of Custer county
to pay for all road excavation at so
much per cubic yard rather than on
an hour or day scale and he believes
more work Is received for the money
expended.
Powder River county two. years ago
next fall voted s15O.0OQ wcrth OF "o1d
bonds with a prOvisO that the money
could not be used except with federal
aid. which matched dollar for dollar
would create fund of 100000 fer
permanent road construction. The state
engineers estimate for such road
from BrCadus to the Custer county line
would aboutconsume the entire appro-
priation. This Is the only road which
could be built in Powder River county
on which money from the road bond
issue could be expended for the road
to be designated as state highway
according to state specifications. must
connect one county seat with another
While the $15O,OO0 read bonds Were
voted in this county they have not yet
been sold and at the present time they
are not on the market. Last fall Gus

MOONSHINE AS ANTIDOTE

"Moonshine liquor is just the stuff

the result is that DR.. c. II. James,

physician and surgeon living irassthe

this kind of incidence. Some thirsty

those who are willing to take a chance
