OUR
County Commissioners
By Hans Rasmussen


If you read the commissioners pro-
ceedings you might have noticed that
our County Commissioners at their
December meeting handed out to Pet
ersen Drainage District two war
rants, one for $500 the other $285.
Several people have asked me what
that money was for; you have a
right to know how the Commission
ers, who some of you voted for,
spend your money.
Northwest of Dagmar is a big
slough, containing about 27O acres.
In order to drain the slough a Drain
age District was created some time
ago, calling it the Peterson Drainage
District. Judge Conner appointed a
Drainage Commission of three men
to look after the district One of
the duties of the Commission was to
estimate the amount of benefit or
| damage the surrounding landowners
would derive from the draining The
! Commission came to the conclusion
that Sheridan County would benefit
to the extent of 100000 on account of
the roads being drained, that part
was fair enough and that was what
the warrant for the $4,000 was paid
for
Last summer the county graded up
the roads in the slough, the county
outfit also spent lot of time on
digging the IL mile of private ditch;
our County Commissioners had
agreed to do this work and the work
was paid for to the county. However
lots of people were kicking because
the county was fooling away a lot of
time on private work instead of do
ing the road work which had been
promised.
In order to lead the water across
the public roads three bridges and
two steel culverts were put in, the
county delivered the material and the
work was done under the supervision
of the Drainage Commission. At the
time l called the Foreman for the
Drainage Commissions attention to
what the law said about this part Of
the work.
CHAPTER 143, Sec. 8, Highway
Lad read in part as follows:
"All persons contemplating the
: excavation of bitches across the
= public highways are required to
E bridge such bitches at once, sub
8 stantially and in accordance with
: plans and specifications furnished

kerosene. The fire spread over the

The Gar and Czarna Is In Exile Len
inc Is Dead and TrotsEzy Overthrow New Regime In
Control.
By Laura Patrick.

Moscow, March 12.-TOday Russia
is celebrating quietly the tenth anni-
versary of the outbreak of the Rom
anOffs. There are special presenta-
tiOns of revolutionary plays in the
theaters, and a general holiday.
But there are no workers pa
rades that tramp through the Red
Square past Lenin's tomb until far
into the night. This favored demon
stration they save for the anniver-
which comes on Nov. 7.
The fall of Nicholas II and his
Czarina, so intensely hated by the
majority of Russians, is taken as
matter of course. The revolution be-
gan on this day ten years ago, but
until it reached its grim and bitter
peak when the Bolsheviks took
charge, it was a mild little bourgeois
affair.
Czarina "Driven Mad
Having heard of the Cars abdica-
ton, the Czarina wrote him at Pskoy:
"Such news drives me mad. How
they humiliated you, those beastsl l
feel that the army will revolt!" It is
true that the army did revolt, but
not to save the Czar's throne.
AS the weeks swept by and the
army crumbled at the front, and
the aimless terror-struck flight of
the defeated soldiers kept on, real
revolution gathered.
Kerensky and his so-called demo
cratic government proved helpless
before that tide of cowed and hun
cry beings in the grip of power
/ greater than themselves.
