DIR. YORK RETURNS
TO PLENTYWOOD
Pioneer ChirOpractOr Returns After
Studying in Omaha During Winter
MOnths-Says Ray Treatment Will
RevOlutiOnize Healing and installl
Modern Instruments.

"Look who's here" These three
words were heard frequently on the
streets of Plentywood this week, be-
cause DR.. Ed. York, old time Nonpar-
tlsan League chief and organizer and
pioneer chiropractor of Sheridan
County was back. He is at his old
stand in Plentywood ready to bring
back health and sunshine to the
weary and heavy laden" as of yore.
We say sunshine advisedly because
DR.. York comes back this time with
a machine which is the concentrated
essence of the sun and has the know
ledge how to apply it. From the
earliest time, medical practitioners
and other restorers OF iaealth have
relied on the sun. From the days OF
our pagan ancestors when the Druids
healed the sick, the sun has been the
worlds greatest healthgiver.
Modern science has produced {
machine which projects a light which
IS the suns rays concentrated. Thi.
machine cures several diseases in Z
remarkably short period of time. AL
that the Abrams machine and the VI
ira Violet ray machines had, thi
wonderful invention has, plus the
wonderful rays of the sun which ca1
be colored to suit the disease and tn,
patient"
DR.. York took a course of instruc
tion at Omaha under DR.. Carl Loeb
the leading authority on Aetna Their
apy. He also took a course in Elec
tro Therapeutics and will soon install
machine for giving electro Thera
putic treatments. This machine viii
cost $1,000.00 and is now an adjunc
to every up-tO-date Chiropractic ward
81 believe a chiropractor to be O
real service to the community wher
he resides should keep up-to-date Of
the newer things in the profession
That is the reason why I went ava
and took these courses. With what
now know and the machinery whic
l intend to install, I will feel conf
dent that 1 can give my patients tn
best and most modern treatments"
DR.. York spent most of his time i
Nebraska since leaving Sherida
county. On his return he visited tn
Twin Cities and saw many of tn
Sheridan county people there. He al
rived in Plentywood Tuesday.

Our County Commissioners
By Hans Rasmussen

Leading out of Plentywood to the
north is a road which runs over part
of Mr.. Riba's land. This road has
been laid out and used for many
years. There is not a very heavy
traffic on it but there are farmers
living north of here who will have to
drive three miles out of their way in
order to get to town if this road is
closed. Three miles going and COM
ing makes six miles extra on each
trip so these farmers do not want
the road closed.
Last year Mr.. Riba appeared be-
fore the county commissioners and
asked to have this road closed. AT
ter looking it over Commissioners
Iverson and French sided in with Mr..
Riba. They are going to close the
road right away without any further
ceremony. Lundeen and I, seeing il
was nothing but a selfish PROPOSE
ton on Mr.. Riba's part, objected to
it, knowing that the road was laid
out and used by the farmers. There
was no reason why the land should
be given back to Mr.. Riba just tC
give him a chance to sell it bacl
again to the county at his own price
after the farmers again demanded
the road opened.
The two commissioners were goinG
to close the road right on the spot
Lundeen and I protested, saying i
could not be done without first cir
culating a petition, so a lawyer ha'
to be called in to settle the dispute
The lawyer said Lundeen and l wer
right, so the other two found out the,

were not so almighty as they thought
they were.
A petition was then presented by
Mr.. Riba and a date for public hear
ing was Set The commissioners and
Mr.. Riba being foxy enough to set
that date at the very busiest time of
the year, right in harvest time, not
expecting the farmers to leave their
binders in the field and go to the
hearing and register their protest.
At the day of the hearing the far
mers DID leave heir binders in the
field and DID come in, a bunch of
them come. They did not want that
road closed and they were here to
tell the commissioners and Mr.. Riba
so in plain words.
When Mr.. Riba heard about the
farmers being here he got cold feet
and did not show up at all, neither did
his lawyer.
This put the two county commits
sioners up against it. They wanted
to obey Mr.. Riba's orders and close
the road, but how could they do II
when everybody at the meeting want
ed the road open, they wanted the
hearing postponed and we objected
They simply would not find a way
out, so they had to leave the roac
open as it was.
Now Mr.. Riba is here with his peti
ton again and the whole perform
ance has to be gone over once more
No doubt the commissioners have
told him to try it again and they
would shoot it through for him thii

BILL STEPHENS PAYS
3 CENT GAS TAX
UNDER PROTEST


; Helena, May 9.-The only pro-
test against the three cent gasO-
line tax law has been withdrawn
and $2,O29.95 was added Monday
to the highway funds available
as April collections. Without
any explanation as to its reason,
the Farmers Oil company of ScO-
bey paid its April tax under pro-
test. Monday the board of equal
izatiOn was informed of with
drawal of the protest. No ex-
planatiOn was made of this ac-
ton. The protest was received
with some surprise, inasmuch as
the three cent law is almost iden-
tical in form to the 1925 law
which the state supreme court
held constitutional.

Helena.-A winter wheat crop Of
8,916,000 bushels is forecast for Mon
tana compared with 6,272,OOO bushels
harvested in 1926 and an average
state production of the past ten years
of 100000 according to the joint
May estimate of the Montana state
department of agriculture, labor and
industry and the United States divi-
sion of crop estimates.
The final outcome of the crop will
vary above or below this estimate ac-
cOrding as how later growing condi-
tiOns vary above or below the aver
age experience of the past 25 years
in Montana on which the present es-
innate is based, according to jay G..
Diamond, agricultural statistician
However, the present outlook is rat
ed very favorable with rainfall of
May to date combined with favorable
April moisture and an excellent win
ter storage of moisture.
Winter acreage losses were less
than average, the report finding a
loss of II per cent in the seeded acre
age of $4,000 acres leaving $4,000
acres for harvest. The condition of
the crop remaining for harvest on
May 1st averaged IS per cent of a
normal which on the average expert
ence of the past 25 years between
May 1st and harvest indicates an
acre yield of about 1877 bushels. Last
year abandonment averaged about 20
per cent and the 10 year average
abandonment for Montana has been
1877 per cent.
Acreage losses were high in some
eastern and northern areas of the
state but as a rule losses above the
state average occurred in unimport-
ant producing areas. In the Gallatin

RObs Miners Bank

RObS Miners Bank
Butte.-Picking up the trail five
minutes after lone, armed and un-
masked bandit entered the Miners
bank here at LOO o'clock Thursday
afternoon and stuck up Hugo Kenick,
assistant cashier and escaped with
$1,000 in currency, police tonight had
not captured the robber.
Various clues were unearthed, one
leading Police Chief Jere Murphy to
Dillon, but all came to naught. To-
night officers were working on the
theory that the robber is still in the
city.
Lobby Lonely.
The lobby of the bank was empty
when the robber walked in. Harry
Temby and Clarence Staples, tellers
were working in stalls on each side
of Kenck; Edloe Chancellor, a book
keeper, was in the rear, and Tom
Fenlon, cashier, was at his desk in
the front.
The bandit walked to Kenck's win
dow and said in low voice:
"Give me your money" At the
time, he pushed twoards Kenck q
note, written in pencil, which said:
keep quiet, or I'll get you first. "
Kenck read the note. When he
looked up again the robber had {
pistol partly concealed by his coat, il
his right hand.
Kenck pressed the police alarm ant
of escape, looked around at thr

that he could satisfy the robber wit

On the counter beside him wer
three packages, each containing $50
in $40, $40 and $5 bills. These
Kenck showed at the robber, who pu
them in his coat.
"Now, throw up your hands," h
said to Kenck.
Kenck complied, and the robber bt

"Now put them down." the robbie
commanded, after he had taken fe
steps.
Kenck again complied.

Lights and Power Off

The light poles of the Montana Da-
kota Power Company went down like
toothplcks where the storm was
strong and nearly everywhere the
wet snow forced the wires down. The
result was that several Northeastern
Montana towns were without light or
power Sunday night and all Monday
little plants dependent for power on
the electric wires were shut down.
Seeding was impeded the early part
of the week because of the soggy con-
ditiOn of the ground and MANY peOple

were forced to stay at home because
OF the conditions of the roads. The

tywood last Monday. 1t was white
with snow. On returning from SEQ
bey In the afternoon its cowcatcher
was well coated with fresh snow,
showing that it came through some
drifts on the way back.
Reports reaching Plentywood show
that stock suffered and some cattle
were driven into cul de sacs in the
wire fences. Sheepmen report the
loss of several lambs.

session here was marked by q demon
Stration that Arizona architects and
contractors are already making special
efforts to use Arizona materials and
obtain materials through Arizona firms
whenever possible. It was emphasized,
however, that the real success of the
movement to make every construction
job an "all Arizona" one must go back
to those financing the building and
the Industrial Congress was asked to
bring to the attention of city, county
and school district officials and of
citizens and corporations erecting
buildings, the advantages of having
Arizona firms handle all the work,
from designing down to furnishing the
supplies, subject of course to compe-
titive price and quality.
Along this line it was mentioned
that many people seem to have the
idea outside architects and contractors
are better fitted to handle big con-
Struction jobs, Notwithstanding the
fact that most of the largest buildings
in the state have been designed and
built by Arizona firms, from materials
obtained from Arizona companies. Use
Arizona architects and contractors was
declared especially important in that
outside architects and contractors ma
turally tend to specify outside mate
rials and buy from outside supply firms
with which they have done business
before.
