The people Of Europe are de-

Of France in the present Franco

There is a feeling of bitterness

Would Cut County Assets Half

Should the ruling of the state su-
preme court, rendered in the Judith
Basin county Ease in the adjustment
between it and Cascade and Fergus
counties, to the effect that roads and
bridges, and cash in those funds, can
not be considered as county assets, APP
ply as interpreted in the above case,
the total of Cascade county assets,
now amounting to $2,539,638.37, would
be reduced nearly one-half that
amount. Roads and bridges carried
as assets of Cascade county, accord
ing to the last annual report of Coun-
ty Clerk John E. Moran, have a-yalu-
alton Of $1,133,287.83.
All counties in the state, like Cas-
cade county, Mr.. Moran stated, have
included bridges and roads as assets
on the assumption that they repre-
scented so much capital invested by
the counties. But the supreme court
has ruled that these properties cannot
be classed as owned by the county
because the county acts only as an
agent in spending the funds required
build the properties. Mr.. Moran
is of the opinion, however, that
bridges and roads can be called an as
set in a statement of the countyss con-
but not when an adjustment of
between counties is being
made. /

citizens OF this town is the real hero
OF All important nation picture,
The production, called In the Name

Ing at the Deluxe theatre on Wed
nesday.
In the Name OF the Law" depicts
In most vivid fashion. the dangers
with which the policeman has to
cope in the every day performance
OF his duties. That. however, is not
the main theme Of the story. The
plot has TO do with the experiences
OF a plain little family-the family
OF Policeman O'Hara who patrols
the streets of San Francisco. All
sorts of troubles beset the O'Hara's
but finally happiness breaks through
the barriers OF misfortune. The
story IS crowded with action. In
the cast are such excellent players
as Ralph Lewis, in the role of
Officer O'Hara. Ella Hall, Johnnie
Walker. Ben and John Alexander
playing one OF the leading roles
also is credited with the direction
OF the production.
