TWO WOLVES ARE
KILLED BY THEx

Two wolves from a bunch OF five
that have been preying on livestock
in the Otter creek country were killed
a few days ago by Calvin Thick. His
brother, Charles Thick, is known to
have lost at least seven head Ct cat
tie to the wolves and other ranchmen
IN the vicinity have had losses from
the same source. Whether Thex shot
or trapped the wolves is not yet know n
but his vigilance will continue until
with the assistance CT others he is
able to to exterminate these highly
predatory wild animals.
To procure bounty on coyotes or
wolves the hunter must personally
bring his pe1ts to the sheriffs office
where the head and feet are severed
and the bounty claim signed. witnessed
by at least one taxpayer on livestock
who is personally acquainted with the
hunter. The claim is referred to the
county clerks office where it is veri-
fed ani then forwarded on to the
State Livestock association at Helena.
Bounty on coyotes is $3.50 and wolves
SIS. Sometimes the bounty claims are
assigned to other parties at 10 per
cent discount but where the hunter
waits for the remittance from Helena
he is paid par value for the bounty
Claim. From two to three months is
the usual time 1t takes for remittance
from Helena to cover the bounty

now the COUNTY Vj0ulO
Benefit By FEDERAL AID

Excerpts taken from q letter from
John N. Edy, chief engineer OF the state
highway commission at Helena, to r.
F.. Sherlock. deputy county clerk, are
Interesting to the people Of this county.
"Fedral funds appropriated by con-
gress fer the construction Of highways
In Montana total s7,045.71s.13." writes
the highway chief. "Of this amount
$4.2O0.0O0 has been taken up by work
already under contract and an add.
tional amount Of $1,5OO.0OO has been
tied up by projects proposed for con-
structiCn in the Immediate future.
However, this leaves approximately
$1,:50.s00 Of fedral funds stnl avail
able for new projects. and no doubt it
will be two or three years before
this il exhausted. We expect further
appropriations will then be made by
congress so that the federal aid pro-
grams OF the serral states may go on
uninterrupted.
'Prior to June 80. 1921, it was al
ways the practice Of this department
to match federal and local funds ON a
dollar for dollar basis. but under the
lateSt federal aid read act, we are
enabled to make slightly more ia.
vorablet distribution of costs between
the counties and federal government.
Under this new act the maximum fcd-
ernl aid allotted to project varies in
different states, it being 53.0f per cent
in Montana. This means that fer every
dollar put UP by the county the fed
eral government will put up s1.13, pro-
vid ng the cost o. the project does not
average over $4,000 per mile.
cit should be noted, however. :!:::t
IN many cases the county is required
to put up slight amount in excess Of
that put up by the federal government.
This is due to the fact that on GER
federal aid is allowed. Fer example.
the federal government will not par
t.cipate in the cost of repairing exist
ing bridges nor in the purchase of
rEht of way. That such charges as "A
rule do not amount to an apprcciable
amount Is indicated by the fact that
Ct $4.439.53 worth of highway work
completed during the past two years.
the counties have paid $e.2G3.3e5 2l
and the federal government $2.116,.
1922. That is to say that for che
above noted completed work the fed.
eral government has matched s0.3S
against every dollar put up by tine
counties. This work was done on the
cid basis Of d ,,,lar TO-. dollar and SO
we have no doubt that under tn. new
system. It will be very seldom that
the county Will be required to pay
more than the federal government to-
ward the cost of any project
