ReU. Elgln GlUen
Doctors Degree
(By A. Q. La Prade)


1t was announced at the First Bap-
tist church last Sunday night by one
of the deacons that recently one of
our eastern universities had confer
red upon Rev. T. E. Elgin the degree
of Doctor of Divinity.
He held several other degrees be-
fore coming to Winslow. He was edu-
Gated in some of the best schools in
America. He has travelled extern
siVely in this country and is a man
conversant with all questions of the
day. He is eloquent, possessing the
gifts of the finished orator as few
men do. At one time he held one
of the leading pulpitS of his denomin-
alton in the east, and now the people
of Winslow Baptist church are won
derfully blessed with the personal
touch and character Of this great
churchman. He looks the part of the
churchman. Indeed, there is little
lacking in natural endowment or edu-
cational equipment. Very few minis
ters within the state of Arizona have
had better advantages or possess even
equal natural talent.
Come out and hear DR.. T. E. Elgin
next Sunday.

who has taken considerable interest
in the protection of this forest of stone

tions of the best views of the forest

GALLATIN COUNTY HAS
HUGE SUM INVESTED
IN HIGHWAYS
Continued from Page One)
The Gallatin Way

The Improvement of the Gallatin
Way was begun a few years ago, the
work being divided into two sections,
the section from Bozeman to the
mouth of the Gallatin canyon, a dis
tarce of 19 miles, being constructed
Jointly by the federal government and
Gallatin county. This section was
completed during the past summe-
and is enc of the best pieces Of gravel
road to be found anywhere. The cost
Of this road was $4,000. and the cost
Of the bridges $4,000. The second
section Of the Gallatin Way extends
from the mouth # the Gallatin can
yon to the boundary of the Yellow
stone national park, a distance of 45
miles. When this Improvement was
started, the cost was divided between
the forestry department and Gallatin
county, but for the past two years the
entire expense has been borne by the
forestry department. The contract
for the last section of this road.
which completes it to the park boun-
diary, was let a short time ago and
no doubt will be completed the com
ing season.
Originally very little, if any, OF
the road was surfaced with gravel
but at present there are several mile
of excellent gravel surface, and i
is hoped that this good work will bt
continued until we have a graveleC
road from Bozeman to the boundary
Of the Yellowstone park.
The cost to date, including the ap
preparation for the completion of thu
road form the mouth of Gallatir
canyon to the park line is $415,OOO
Included in this is also the cost o
the bridges.

roads is the scheme of cooperation be-
tween the farmers and Gallatin coun-
ty. Under this plan the farmers in
any community may petition the
county commissioners to improve any
particular piece of road. The farm
ers agree to haul all the gravel gratis,
while the county prepares the sub
grade, takes care of the drainage
and brushes the gravel.
Originally crusher-run gravel was
used in this work, tut the present
plan is to construct these roads under
government specifications, which will
make them equal to any Of the grav-
eled roads in the county. While this
work is progressing rapidly and sat
isfactoIily, yet more of this work
would be done rad the county the
necessary funds, for there are always
d number Of petitions on the waiting
list, which certainly speaks well for
the pu~O4IC-oplIllcO Adlh4cIS OF OuI
county.
To date about II miles of gravel
roads nave been built under this plan
and the grading completed for four
more miles, which will probably be
graveled this fall.

great Improvement made in our coun-
ty roads in the past ten years, for we
hardly realize that ten years ago we

He urged the people Of the nation
to read the record Of the present ma

eide whether or not the Republican
party is to be entrusted with the ma
tons business for the coming quad
rennium.
He condemned the Republican par

that disabled veterans of the World

Of his long and brilliant career as a

counting the high points of the can

the fact that he voted against "Sched-

gress.
He PANIED the Ku Klux Khan,
members of which he dubbed "Kal-

were as bad as the 1. w. w, and that
both organizations had much in COM
