Our County Commissioners
By Hans Rasmussen

Last year our county commissioner.
Frank French, was a busy man for
while; he did a lot of talking in
Antelope and Reserve wanted to oet
the people in the two towns interest
ed IN straight road between the
two towns. He wanted each town
TO appoint a committee to go before
the county commissioners and Frank
would do the rest. Finally he had to
give it up because he could not get
any OF the towns interested.
Most of you people know that there
IS half mile jog in the main road
between Antelope and Reserve. I
suppose the road was built there in
the first place because it was the best
place they could find for it. The road
IS graded and a big steel bridge
pullt across the Muddy besides other
bridges and culverts. A good many
thousand dollars have been spent on
this road by the county. There is no
gram hauled over the road and no
oody seems to object to the one-half
mile detour except Frank French.
In order to build the road where
Frank wanted it, it had to run across
peoples land who absolutely objected
70 II, furthermore another big steel
bridge had to be built across the

Muddy only one-half mile from the
one that is there now, but the cost
did not worry Frank any.
Frank lives in Medicine Lake and I
sometimes wondered why he was so
interested in this road up by Ante
lope. Why should he worry about the
road as long as nobody else did? 1t
is not very often he is using it any
way. Or was it the STEEL BRIDGE
he was so interested in?
One bridge across the Muddy cost
the taxpayers $8,479.52 and others of
the same kind have cost less than
S3,000.00-so building bridges could
be made interesting if you know how
to handle it and would take advant-
age of it.

Froid Woman Has
Oldest Sewing Machine

F'roid, May 21.-What is believed to
be the oldest sewing machine in the
United States was recently discovered
at Froid by L. L. Bogut when he
called on Mrs. David Gunderson to
try to sell her new sewing machine
The machine bears the serial num-
Der 123,505 and the Singer Sewing
Company found, upon checking its
records, that it was made IA wears
ago, and was the oldest machine in
use in the United States. Thev at
once presented Mrs. Gunderson with
a brand new machine in exchange for.
the quaint little hand power affair
that is attracting much attention in
the display window of R. J. White
jeweler.
No more will the little machine ba

Papers Filed with Clerk & Recorder
The papers were filed with Clerk
q Recorder Niels Madsen Wednesday
evening and were certified by him to
Clerk of Court Olson, Thursday, June
End. The date of hearing has not
yet been set, but the law provides
that the judge of the district court
must hear an appeal from the board
of county commissioners within ten
days after the appeal is filed.
There were two appeals filed as
the Board paid for the tractors with
warrants, and appeals were taken on
both actions, as the two warrants ac-
tually constituted one act and were
issued for one purpose, namely the
purchase of these tractors.
The appeal is based on that section
of the Constitution of the State of
Montana which prohibits the expen-
diture of more than $4,000 for any
one purpose without first submitting
the proposition to a vote of the cleo
tors.
AS the warrants in question have
already been issued and signed and
presented to the county treasurer and
paid, there is considerable speculation
as to just what sort of a predicament
the Commissioners will find them
selves in, providing the Judge sus-
tains the appeal of Rasmussen.
