ROAD FUND QUESTION YET
TO BE HEARD FROM

No word has been received from the
State Highway commission regard
ing the outcome of the meeting Mon
day at which time the claim OF Grant
county for reimbursement Of road
funds amounting to between $1,000
end $4,000 was to be presented.
Attorney X. ID. Jones, representing
the Booster Association of this city.
made a tri, 80 Pierre last week. but
due to mix-up on the part of one Of
the clerks. telegram stating that
the governor and commissioners would
be there was mis-stated and they were
out of the city.
Attorney Jones took the matter I'D
at the state commission office, giving
all details and information regarding
the claim, which was to be given at
the meeting. While it appears that
a decision in favor or Gran. county
VII! be given, it is by no means GER
tain, as has been stated. and a new
phase Of the matter may be brought
| up which will turn the decision against
the county As the matter stands at
the present time and as stated in last
| weeks issue of tire Herald Advance,
the state has charged against the
county road fund, amounts for the
construction of the grade on the yell
lowstone Trail between this city and
HI" Stone. This contract was let be-
| fore the state highway commission
! was created and it has had no juris-
,iction over the construction except
in the matter Of such changes as it
has made since it came to life. This
construction work was paid by FEEDER
al and county funds, and the highway
| commission have second charge a
! gainst the county for this same con-
| struction work.
The Booster association took the
J matter up after the county official,
had failed to secure any satisfaction
or recognition of the claim from the
state department. The commissions
ers assured the association that should
it succeed in getting the money re-
funded, it would be spent in the con-
struction of several more niles Of
road on the Trail between here and
Marvin, the contract for part of which
is to be let within short time.
Word is expected from The High
way commission within. q. short time
and further action will depend upon
! the word received.

BASEBALL TALK STRONG

"Snider" A. G.. Yost, a baseball
player and manager, who started ne
gotiations to land berth here, ar
rived Thursday afternoon tc look
over the field and find out whether
or not it is as promising as ne hopes
it is, according to-information receiv-
ed from him.
While all oa sebali fans have express
ed their desiSe to see baseball team
mere this summer, no one wants to
take the responsibility of starting the
proposition off and all are convinced
that a ba seball team must be run
under different rules than in former
years. Whether or not Milbank can
support baseball team by the gate
receipts without the usual contribu-
tion and donation paper making it
rounds for the benefit of the deficit.
is a question in the minds Of MANY
fans
According to little information re
ceived Mr. Iost is an experienced
manager who i; looking for per-
manent location in city that will
support a yearly baseball team. He
has played and managed teams in the
now IN Faiifax, MINI. He has a sub
stantial record behind him and thinks
that he COULD put thing over here.
Being a pitcher. as we'll as a general
utility man, he will fit in we'll with the
team of ''home guards" here who
lack pitcher to make the team.
Golf has been claiming The atten-
ton o. its many followers, despite
the cold weather. Many have taken
TO the practice Of arising two hours
earlier in the morning and spending.
this time on the course. which alone
is laudable a >set Of the game.
+. Tennis has started off, a few of the
fans limbering up their muscles and
! joints. New tapes for the court have
been secured and it is now in fairly
good shape. The bad weather Of last
week DELAYED the laying out of the
courts on the Congregational church
grounds which have been planned by
the younger members OF the church.
All in all Milbank is pretty well sup
piled with means for physical activ-
ity.. The need of a gymnasium and
shower baths is quite evident and sport
lovers are hoping that the proposed
| Community building will soon be
under way SO that thesesmay be had.

of the Niger Minstrel Colonel oe-
ing particularly appreciated
A "work extra" was called for the

ran to suit themselves, music being
furnished by the famous Fox orches-
ira and Paul Emerson Miss Gladys
Grove presided at the piano. MI. Wylie
