FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT
OFFICE AT BAINVILLE

With the arrival of c. NJ Upton
to take charge of the Federal en-
ployment office at Bainville, farm
ers of northeastern Montana are
assured of the same efficient ser
vice in furnishing harvest men
that has been given by this agency
in past years. Mr.. Upton will en-
deavor to supply men to districts
where laborers are needed and
will direct men away from ter
ritories known to be over sup
piled.
For the past five years the U.
s. Employment Bureau has main
tanned an Office in Bainville to di-
rect the men to sections needing
help. This has been of great ben
eft to the farmers of this section
of the state and as this is the
third year for Mr.. Upton in the
Bainville station, his experience in
placing men will enable him to rem
der highly efficient service.

TEMPORARY ROAD
TO FERRY TOUGH
McCONE COUNTY BUILDING
NEW ONE THAT WILL
SOON BE READY

Extremely heavy traffic made up
of grain haulers and cars and wag
ons on various kinds of business,
is now crossing the river at the
Wolf Point ferry. The improvis-
ed temporary road leading from
bank to the graded county road is
in very bad condition and is the
object of a large amount of kicks
and criticisms. Farmers are right
in the midst of harvesting one of
the best crops they ever raised
and naturally are peeved at any
thing that delays them and causes
them extra expense.
An investigation of the road
Wednesday proved that it was
very bad in spots, the worst of
it being across the sand right at
the south ferry landing. 1t would
seem as if it would be to the
financial interest of the ferry op-
orators to put this short portion
of the road in better condition.
AS for the temporary road that
winds through the timber over pri-
vate land, it is not reasonable to
expect that it can be made into
a good road The McCone county
commissioners have been putting
forth their best efforts to secure
a right of way and build a road
from the ferry approach to the
highway. They were delayed in
securing the right of way, but this
matter has now been adjusted.
The brush has been cleared away,
the stumps are being blasted out
and the county road machinery will
Immediately be set to work.
Thomas Horsford, the commits
sioner in charge of the work has
been here for several days direct
ing operations. He said Wednes-
day that the right of way strip |
was already in condition to offer
a better route to the highway than
the road through the timber, and |
that some cars and trucks were
going that way. He said
the plows and graders would be /
set to work to build road and
that the work would be pushed as
rapidly as possible. It will be
loose dirt road that will take some
time to pack, but it will improve
with use and dragging. No special
blame can be attached to anyone
for the condition of the road which
was the direct result of the acres
cut by the unusual high water.
The river is narrow at the cross
ing and the ferry is getting rigs
back and forth with good speed.

Ferry Boat "WoIf"
On Way To Frazer

The power ferry, Wolf, which
has been in service at Williston,
came up the river this week and
is at present anchored here. 1t is
said that the boat will be taken
to Frazer and put into service
there. The opening of the Lewis
and Clark bridge at Williston re-
duced the ferry business to point
where it was Improbable, although
the bridge is five or six miles
west of the city.

Last Gap Of Roosevelt
Highway Being Built

The contractors have begun
work in the one remaining gap in
the Roosevelt highway which is
the IA mile stretch between Poplar
and Brockton. Chas. Howe has
the bridge and culvert work. The
new road goes straight east out OF
Poplar past the old court house
and the fair grounds for several
miles and runs parallel to the
Great Northern track most of the
way to Brockton. When this work
is finished there will be an un-
broken stretch of excellent high
way, nearly all of it graveled, from
Nashua in Valley county entirely
through Roosevelt county, eighty
miles and more, and on to Willis
ton and beyond.

FEDERAL AGENTS

POPLAR AND MEDICINE LAKE
JOINTS ARE VISITED; PRO-

went to Medicine Lake where they
made two raids on Monday. Chas.
Brown, the proprietor of the Cozy
Cafe, was arrested and arraigned
before United States Commission

appearance before the federal dis
+rict court were placed at $500,
which he furnished. The propri-
etor of the other place raided, a
soft drink parlor, was not present
and his arrest will take place later
At all three places raided on Mon

Schedule Rewards Effort

Up to now Miss Strachan has
certainly shown that she is the
best hustler, or else she has some
loyal friends. She has a long lead
on the face of the returns now in
but there are signs that certain
girls are holding ballots in reserve
for Garrison finish.
The schedule of ballot values,
reprinted this week, was made with
the purpose of rewarding effort
by the candidates and loyalty on
the part of their friends. It's
fair, free race for all. Just note
the high values of new subscrip-

in advance of a year; also out of
the state subscriptions. There
are many people who do not take

intend to subscribe. All that is
needed is to call the matter to
their attention.
