MAY ESTABLISH
STEAM LAUNDRY Y

Arrangements are being made for
the establishment of steam laundry
in Red Lodge. Correspondence was
started last fall by the Beartooth
Boosters club with number of laun-
dry owners in the state with view
of interesting some one to begin the
operation of laundry here. At pres
ent several interested parties plan to
visit Red Lodge to look over the 81
tuation. For many years Red Lodge
has been badly in need of a laundry.
A great deal of linen from the hotels,
cafes, barber shops, and family wash
has been hauled to the Billings laun-
dries by trucks, to detriment to the
county roads. Establishment of a
steam laundry in Red Lodge will
eliminate two trucks that are consid-
cred a nuisance.

ARMY CUTWORM HAS
MADE APPEARANCE
IN CARBON COUNTY

The army cutworm has made its
appearance in Carbon County and has
been found in some of the winter
wheat fields near Boyd. All farmers
with winter wheat or early spring
wheat should watch their fields
closely and if the cutworm appears
prompt means of control must be TAX
en- or great amount of damage will
be done.
The worm has a gray or brown ap-
pearance and is about an inch in
length. They are usually found about
an inch below the surface of the
ground. The worms can destroy a fie' d
of wheat in a very short time.
The state college recommends the
following remedy to poison h e
worms: 1 pound Paris green, "a
pounds coarse bran, II pound salt, |
pound molasses. This mixture should
be spread over the field in the late
afternoon or evening.
Any farmers having difficulty with
the army cutworm should consult F
|. Peterson, agricultural instructor a
Carbon county high school.

hearings in recent years was held
here Tuesday afternoon by naturaliza-
ton examiner Frederick G.. Emmer-

completed Tuesday night. Out of the
40 applicants 81 were admitted to
citizenship. But one applicant was dis
missed and the remainder were con-
tinued until the next hearing which
will be held October 81. Most of the
continuances were because of lack of
knowledge of the principles of Ameri-
can government, but those who were
admitted without exception showed a
knowledge of government as we'll as
of current events and it is doubtful if
any former class ever exceeded them
in those particulars. The hearing was
presided over by Judge Robert G.
Stong Many of those admitted had
been instructed by Mrs. Sam Turner
bf this city and to her credit be it
said that her students made a splen-
did showing and everyone of them

SADIE MAY PUUTlO
RECEIVES DAMAGES

Another victory FOR Sadie Mae
Puutio over Steve Roman was the
result of the decision of the Montana
supreme court handed down April 2e
when it affirmed the decision of the
lower court giving Miss Puutio a
judgment of $4,000 damages against
Steve Roman.
A jury gave Miss Puutio verdict
for $4,000 damages when the Puutio-
Roman case was tried in this city on
June 2, 1926. Judge ]. H. Miller, who
was called in to preside over the case
by an agreement with Miss Puutio's
attorney, John G. Skinner of Red
Lodge, reduced the verdict from $780,
900 to $4,000. Roman appealed to the
supreme court from the decision of
Judge Miller. The supreme court
stated that Judge Miller had not
abused his discretionary power.
This is the second case Miss Puutio
has won in the Montana supreme
court against Roman.
The first trial Of the Puutio- Roman
case was tried June, 1925, when the
presiding judge dismissed the case
and Miss Puutio appealed to the su-
preme court. The higher court re-
versed Judge Miller's decision, who
was the presiding judge in the case,
and sent the case back for re-trial. In
the meantime Mr.. Roman filed deed
giving all his property to his wife,
Liberty Roman. Miss Puutio contest
ed the validity of this deed. The case
was tried before Judge Geo. Bour-
quin of Butte. A decision was handed
down by him setting aside all of the
deeds as illegal and void. c. C. Rowan
of this city was attorney for Steve
Roman.

NEW ROUTE TO
PARK is NEEDED

Missoula.-A survey is to be made
this summer of the Cooke City-Red
Lodge route through south central
Montana, opening up the Cooke City
mining territory and affording new
entrance into Yellowstone park. Dis
trict Engineer Fred Theme of the
forest service said on his return from
Billings.
This prospective road, the route of
which is 68 miles long, may be built
at an estimated cost of $1,144,000, it
is said. Those supporting its construc-
tion expect that special appropria-
tion will be made by congress at it's
next session to cover the project. The
survey is to be made by the bureau Of
public roads, so that everything will
be ready for construction if the money
for building is advanced for 1928.
The secretary of the interior has in
dicated that the road will be- needed
sooner or later in Yellowstone park
travel. During the summer season it
will be possible to use it for truck
ing into the mining district of Cooke
City. If built, it will be the highest
road in the state the, the altitude at
points on the Beartooth plateau, which
it crosses, being more than 100
feet.

EFFORT TO STOP
TRUCK HAULING
CREATES INTEREST

In a recent issue of the News an
editorial was published with refer
ence to the use of Carbon county
roads between Red Lodge and Bill
lings by large trucks. A great deal Of
interest is being manifested over the
attitude and action taken by the News
in an effort to put a stop to the
trucking traffic on this county's high
ways. The damage to the roads is an
nually costing the county large sums
of money.
A letter addressed to ]. B. Convery,
county commissioner, signed by Mr..
Fred Brastrup, of the Northern Paci-
fic railway company at Livingston is
published below:
Northern Pacific Railway Company
Office of Division Superintendent
Livingston, Montana,
May 2, 1927.
Mr.. j. B. Convery
Silesia, Montana.
I have your note of April 9th, sub
mitting clipping from the Carbon
County News, an editorial with re-
ference to the general subject of
truck and traffic and bus haul versus
railway service.
I think the attitude of the editorial
writer is consistent, and in the inter
est of all the people. Surely our peo-
pie do not want to dispense with rail
road service on these branch lines and
on the other hand, certainly that is
what it is coming to if decreases are
continually being made into the earn
ings of the railway company on ac-
count of the business being diverted
to bus and truck concerns.

In the fall of 1928 our members
first entered the doors of c. c. H. S.

were "razzed" by the upper classes

Freshmen feel their lowly position.
After session of tangled classes. we
settled down to train our brains into
new channels; and many of us found
these channels very new indeed and
somewhat refreshing therefore.
