closing out its store in Bozeman at
big sale, which began Tuesday
afternoon and viii continue until Sat-

less crowded territory.

More than 100000 will be spent
by county, state and federal govern
ments this year on highway cOnstruc-
ton and improvement in Gallatin
county, according to tentative esti-
mates made by the board of county
commissioners.
Six projects, costing all the way
from less than $4,000 to 100000, are
involved. Of these, only three, each
calling for expenditure of less than
$4,000, will be built by the county,
the others being financed by the for
est service of the state and federal
governments.
The most important is the Gallatin
Canyon road, for which 100000 was
allotted at a joint meeting of the
state highway commission and the
bureau of public roads at Missoula
last week. This meeting was attend
ed by Judge G. Y. Patten, widely
known Bozeman jurist, and John
Aakjer, chairman of the Gallatin
board Of commissioners.

"The West Gallatin project calls
for the improvement of II miles ol
highgway in the canyon" said Mr.
Aakjer Wednesday, beginning at the
north boundary of the Gallatin for

way is located, and extending up the

ly presentation of the facts and Of
the claims of Gallatin county for con-
sideration had much to do, Mr..
Aakjer aveus, with inducing the bisSss
way officials to provide the before
mentioned sum for the canyon road.
Work On the project will be begun
as soon as possible next spring.
A state-federal project to cost
around $4,000 is the road east Of
BOzeman to the mouth Of Rocky can
yon, a portion of which was built by
Galatin county last year. At the east
end of this project 3.41 miles of road
way have already been graded and the
culverts put in, leaving only the sur
facing to be done. Of the remainder,
all of which must be built and sur4
faced, three-quarters of a mile lies
within the city limits and 1.33 miles
outside. Some talk has been heard,
according to the commissioners, Of
continuing the improvement up Rocky
canyon, but nothing definite has as
yet been determined.
Three County Projects
On the county's part, three high
way projects will be initiated if
present. plans can be carried out.
These contemplate the formation of
three voluntary improvement dis
tricts, as follows:
Project No. 10, from the Joe
Gowan ranch north across Reese
creek, approximately four miles. e
Project No. IL, from the south end
of Federal-Aid Project No. Al, south
Of Manhattan and near Buell's siding
south to the Holland settlement, past
the Holland church and up Godfrey
canyon; also a branch west to An
ceney, approximately Az miles.
Project No. II, from the Northern
Pacific stock yards at Belgrade east
to the Wisner siding, about Az miles
In this connection it was announced
by the board that work on Projesi
No. 8 had been postponed because &
supply Of suitable gravel could moi
be located. This project, however
may be completed this year if the
proper material can be obtained.
1t was explained by the board, fol
the information of taxpayers, that {
voluntary improvement district, suct
as is contemplated on these projects
Is one where the county prepares th'
grade, puts in the culverts ant
crushes and spreads the gravel, tn

property adjoins the portion of high

the hearty cooperation of the farm
ers affected may be obtained for tn

FIRE DESTROYS
HOME AT LOGAN

Fire, said to have originated from
an oil stove, Tuesday night destroyed
the home of Mrs. Jennie Aldrich at
Logan. The house next door, owned
by Mrs. Olive Van Epps, was saved
by firemen from Manhattan, who ar
rived too late, however, to check the
flames in the Aldrich building.
The loss on the burned structure
and its contents was heavy, and only
partly covered by insurance. Damage
to the Epps home is estimated at be-
tween $500 and $500, covered BY in-
