REACH AGREEMENT ON
RAYNsFoRD CROSSING

The litigation pending before the
state railroad commission relative to
the installation of an electric signal
at the railroad crossing a mile and a
half east Of Raynesford was settled
last week without referring the mat
ter to the commission. The Judith
BASIN county commissioners some
time ago made a proposal to the Great
Northern whereby they would forego
the request for an electric signal at
the crossing in question providing
the railroad would contribute half the
expense toward building a new road
way that would permit the abandon
TneHt 0f the crossing. This PROPOSE
tion was finally accepted by the Great
Northern officials and the county
commissioners were informed by coun-
sci for the railroad that they would
pay $1,000 In cash toward the construc-
tion Of the new road rather than put
in and maintain the siignal. The pro
position wac accepted on promiseof
the railroads counsel that check for
the amount stated would be f0rthcom-
ing within thirty days.

May Delay or Cause
Abandonment of New RiCeviIIe Road

Because of the reluctance of one OF
two ranch owners along the proposed
Armington- Riceville government road
project it is just possible that the road
viii not be built this year and also
possible that it may not be built at
all, at least as a government project,
but that instead the beQch road TO
Raynesford will be improved under
government aid, according TO word
that has reached this city.
Both routes have been surveyed and
the Arlington Riceville road has been
decided upon as the one to be inn
proved, and it has been the intention
of the board of county commissioners
that this should be the first project
and completed this year.
However, some difficulty has arisen in
the matter of obtaining all the right
of-way, and unless this can be done,
the project will be dropped, at least
for this year. Walter Goodman visited

Game Department Buys
Hungarian Pheasants

The state fish and game department
last week placed cable order with
Czecho- -Slovakia for 500 pairs Of Hun
garian partridges. The purchase
price of these birds is SO per pair de-
livered at the headquarters Of the de-
partment at Helena.
According to Warden c. A. Jak-
ways, the Hungarian partridge
weighs about one pound, is especially
prolific, and is adapted to the climate
of Montana. Washington state pur-
chased 500 pairs Of these partridges
some time ago and they have increas-
ed by the thousands, it is said. The
birds have also been tried out in AL
berta. The American Game Protec-
tion association viii attend 70 receiv-
ing the Montana shipment in New
York. The money for the purchase
will be taken from the state fish and
game fund. They will be distributed
over the state and it is believed that
if given protection for couple Of
years that they will so multiply that
they can never be wiped out, as they
are smaller, faster and much harder
TO wing than are the native game
birds. The partridge is bud feeder,
eats off the tops and from he buds
Of trees and shrubs and is thereby bet
ter able to get through the winter
than birds which feed from the
ground.

Father of Mrs. John
HedriCk Dies in Butte

d. "A. Woodward, aged 78 years, and
the father of Mrs. John Hedrick of
this section, died at the home of his
son, C. d. Woodward in Butte last Sat
urday. The body was sent to Great
Falls, where Mr.. Woodward had made
his home for the past 16 years, and
the funeral will be held this afternoon

organization will be exemplified at the
chapel. Burial will be in the High
wood cemetery.
Mr. Woodward has been frequent
visitor at the ranch home of his daugh-
ter in the last few years, making ac-
casional visits to town, and through
his kindly nature had made many
friends here who will be sorry to learn
of his death. Besides his widow, the
daughter here, and the son in Butte,
Mr.. Woodward is survived by two
other daughters, Mrs. George McDon-
nell of Riebling and Mrs. John Nc

Senior Glass Play on
Friday Evening, April I

The Senior class play. "The Dear
Boy Graduates" which has been under
rehearsal for some weeks past by a
cast chosen, principally, from the
members of the class of % of the Belt
Valley High school, will be presented
to, the public week from tomorrow
evening, April 7, at the auditorium.
The play, a comedy, deals with the
school life of "the dear boy" who is
the president of his class and the idol
of his mother, his elder and younger
sisters, but about whom his grand
mother has her own ideas.
There are 16 characters in the play,
who through the four acts bring
about climax after climax that are
said by those who have been privileged
to witness the rehearsals to abound
in mirth. The first act is laid during
examination time, when "the dear
boy" ''feels like walking encyclo-
pedia, bound in calf" The second
covers the period of school athletics,
when 4'the dear boy" realizes he "is
itl., the third with his class ovation
and the fourth with the commence
ment exercises, when all are thankful
that 4the dear boy" is at last grad
uated.
The play will undoubtedly attract a
large crowd, and those who are lucky
enough 10 witness it, are going to be
well repaid.

Council Effects JaUln9
of ,S528.OO Per Year
Through Salary Trims

formerly s25 per month, but With the
creation of the several improvement
districts the work of the office was
more than doubled, and the salary
was increased to the present figure.
The reduction in the salaries will re-
suit in saving to the city of s528 per
year, which while not great amount
in itself yet Tighten the tax burden
just that much. The two funds out of
which these salaries are paid have a
combined indebtedness of $2,833.24,
and the saving on the salaries alone
would pay up this indebtedness in less
than three terms.
It was suggested at the meeting
that the salaries of the appointive Of
ficers for the coming year should also
be fixed at this meeting, but major
ity of the councilimen were of the
opinion that as long as these salaries
can be changed at any time during
the term, and the added fact that
there will soon be new members on
the board, it you'd be better to leave
these to be set by the incoming coun-
ell, and motion TO that effect ear
ried.

The board Of county commissioners
Of Judith Basin county spent several
days at Billings recently inspecting
and purchasing new road machinery
and equipment. They purchased from
the Billings Sugar company several
used pieces Of machinery, including
40 horse power Holt caterpillar trac-
tor, an elevator grader and ten
foot blading machine. The purchase
price for the outfit was approximate
ly 100000, and will be shipped to
Stanford Immediately for use on the
road work II is hoped to get this
work underway at an early date.
II Is planned TO put a couple large,
fully equipped crews in the field rath-
err than several small. inefficient ones,
IL being the belief that better
roads at smaller expense can be
had through this method. Grover
Brown Of the Raynesford section. will
operate the Holt tractor engine. II is
planned TO begin the seasons work In

Proper Rationing Keeps
Norbert Flock in Lead

Mrs. Robert Evans Of Norbert
again leads in the Farm Flock Egg
Laying contest now being conducted,
her flock showing a profit of so cents
per bird during January. This result
according to Miss Alberta Borthwick.
home demonstration agent, is due TO
proper rationing.
The contest was begun in November
last year, and viii continue until No
yenlber 1922 Mrs Evans hens
averaged an individual profit Of so
cents during the month Of January,
this average also being maintained
for the two months previous at an
average cost Of feed per bird per
month of $.089.
The results obtained by Mrs. Ev-
ans are due to the proper ration fed
the birds, Miss Borthwick pointed out.
A number Of poultry raisers entered
in the contest fed about the same
amount per bird, but the difference in
the nutritive value Of the feed is often
responsible for the egg pro-
duction Of the flocks The persons
who have focks entered in the contest
are kept closely in touch with poultry
Experts from the state college at Boze-
man and some remarkable records are
expected to be made in Cascade coun~
ty this yeara.

AT an adjourned regular meeting
of the city council held last Thursday
evening, salaries of the elective Of
ficers were fixed for the coming term,
a reduction from the present figure
being made in two cases, while in the
third the salary was fixed at the same
figure.
The mayors office suffered the
greatest cut, being reduced from s35
per month to $100. In discussing
the matter of this salary it was
pointed out that the aldermen of the
city, who were entitled under the law
to $500 per meeting, had always Civ
en- their services without charge, and
the present board of aldermen felt
that whoever filled the mayors office
should also have the welfare of the
city sufficiently at heart to do like
wise.
The compensation of the police
was reduced from $40 to
so per month The work of the of
flee, since the closing of the saloons,
and the laying off of the policeman,
has been very light, and where ain
other time sufficient revenue has been
derived through the office to more
than meet the salary paid, for the past
year or more there has been practic-
ally no revenue received other than
from the tax money apportionment.
The salary of the city treasurer.
which for the past term has been $35
per month, was fixed at the same fig
lre. The salary of this office was

In the second ward the term of s. A.
Remington expires, and inasmuch as
MIR. Remington has expressed a will
ingness to serve again and his con-
stituents seem to want him, it is pos
sible that a petition nominating him
will be filed. Alderman Will Millard
of the third ward, whose term expires,
had not definitely decided last night
whether or not he would accept an
other nomination, but should he decide
to do so there is little doubt of his
reelection.
Rumor has it that Mayor Spog-
en-. also has a full aldermanic ticket
ready for filing, and that there is a
possibility of at least one lady can
didate upon his ticket. However, the
authenticity of this could not be estab-
lished, any more than that of his own
candidacy.
But whatever developments the day
brings, ii is certain that Monday
will see the usual yearly interest in
the contest to see who Is going to
guide the destinics oS Belt for the
coming two years.
The school election, which comes
Saturday, has developed even less in

Mrs. Stein Dies Af-
ter Years Illness

Mrs. John Stein, one of the earlier
day residents of Belt, died last Friday
at the Columbus hospital after an i'll
ness from which she had been suffer
ing for a year or more. Mr.. Stein
was with her until the last, but her
only child, Miss Harriet Stein, who is
a student at the North Dakota Normal
school at Valley City, owing to de-
layed train connections did not reach

Hall Enters Plea
Of Not Guilty

Ed. Hall, accused Of the murder OF
George w. Bratley at Stanford some
weeks ago, and who has been held In
the Cascade county Jail since, was
taken to Stanford Sunday to enter a
plea, pleading not guilty, and then
was returned to the Cascade county
Jail to await his trial, which will be
held at the first term Of the Judith
Basin county court, which, however,
may not be until June. The murdered
man was the son of VIM. Bratley, liv-
ing east Of town. who witt be called as
one Of the witnesses for the state. Mr..
Bratley was with his son at the hospit-
al in Great Falls before the death of
the latter and was told all the details
of the attack
Hall is charged with having caused
the death of Bratley with whom he
had been living in Stanford by beat
ing him about the head and body
with a chair and the butt Of rifle
Bratley died as result Of the injuries
after he was taken To Great Falls.
The coroner's jury which heard tes-
timony relating to the death, said
that Bratley had died as a result of
blows inflicted by Hall. The alleged
assault was committed on January 10.
Hall has had but little TO say re-
garding the charge against him. He
refused TO tell his story TO Judith Ba-
sin county authorities after they had
arrested him and he has been just as
reticent with authorities at Great
Falls.

Chairman Ben C. johnson said:
The board is anxious that a right
of-way be presented to the county,
and unless that matter is fixed sat
isfactorily TO the board it will not
build the present year.
we have not enough money to finish
all Of the road contemplated this year
and will not worry about any piece Of
road over which there is any eontro-
versey as to right of way. The coun-
ty needs the money to build the roads
with, and win not spend it on right Of
ways. over which there is any contro-
versey. Not that there is on the Arm
ington proposed road so far as the
board knows, but it is just to bring
to the attention of those interested in
any particular new piece of road that
the board expects them to take up the
matter and see that the county is Civ
-en right of Way without CONTROVERSY
over it,"
This route to Monarch is said by
all to be the most practical of the two,
shortening the distance by number
of miles, and would serve section
of the county that now has very poor
roads. The present one is usually lit
tie more than passabie in the winter
months, and hard one over which to
pull loads even under the most favor
able summer weather conditions, as
well as being dangerous The plans
for it's improvement call for the elm
ination Of all the bad grades, to lsss
than per cent; cutting out the sharp
dangerous curves and its graveling.
Such improvement would not only give
hose living along road that would
handle heavy hauling at any season Of
he year, provingsa great advantage
% those living along it, but experience
1as proven that it greatly increases
he value Of ranch property in the
country through which it passes.
Deputy Sheriff J. w. Leland has
been sent the right-of-wsy agreements
and will shortly make trip over the
route in an endeayer to get the sig
natures Of all abutting property own
RS. Nearly all have agreed to deed
he county the right-of-way without
and 1t is believed that
he one or two who are hesitating will
10 so when the matter is explained
o them. The government nor the
ounty will do nothing toward start
ng the project until deeds to all the
ight-of-way have been recorded
