BRIDGE BIDS
RE-ADVERTISED
HIGHWAY OMMISSION ASKS
NEW PROPOSALS On TWO
STRUCTURES

This issue of this paper carries
advertisements for bids for con-
structing a 1913 foot bridge across
the Missouri river east of Wolf
Point Also for constructing a
pile bridge over Little Wolf Creek
where it is crossed by the propos-
ed new highway leading to the
site of the big bridge. Bids are
to be opened on December 10, at
Helena
Both structures were advertised
before and bids submitted The
spread between the estimates of
the highway engineers and the
bids offered was so great that It
was decided to re-advertise. The
big difference, it was found by
checking, was in the gravel. The.
engineers had figured local gravel
and the contractors had found
shipped in gravel necessary to pro-
duce work that would comply with
the government specifications.
The bid of Alec Verdon Of Poplar
for the smar1, pile bridge was ac-
cepted but later he discovered he
had overlooked the item of treat
ing" the material. He was there
fore released from his bid

POPLAR, Dec. Sired Fear,
manager of the Frye Cattle COM

at the International. This year
they were again displayed by Mr..
Hubley, in pens tagged to show

GARFIELD Rail
HOPE REVIVED

LEWISTOWN, Dec. 13.-The
presence here until a few days ago
of a Northern Pacific right Of way
agent, with the turning over to the
Northern Pacific of the Great
Northern right of way from Lewis
town on to Winnett, has revived
hope that a railway from this city
on east through Garfield county
may be constructed before long.
The Northern Pacific branch
from Glendive to Brockway leaves
gap of but rs miles between that
terminus and Winnett From the
latter place to Grass Range juno
ton, the Milwaukee and Great
Northern held joint right of
way and from there to Lewistown,
the Great Northern grade has been
constructed for years. This in
cludes two long tunnels east OF
Lewistown, completed at cost
of s2,0OO,000.
There is also report that the
Northern Pacific has requested
the state highway commission to
withhold approval of any federal
aid highway plans through that
part of Montana until it's own
plans for a continuation of the
branch from Brockway have been
filed.

FOUR SEED SHOWS
MALTA, JAN. 9-l2
PREMIUM LIST REQUESTS
INDICATE EXTENSIVE
EXHIBITS
phillips County News)

Arrangements for the Twelfth
Annual State Utility Seed show,
Fifteenth Annual State Corn show
and Seventh Northern Montana
District Seed, Corn Potato and
Poultry show, all of which are
scheduled to be held at Malta on
January 9, 10, IL and IL are now
progressing rapidly.
The premium list is ready for
distribution and the number of re-
quests for information about the
shows that have come to the sec
retary indicates that interest in
the coming pure seed exhibition is
great. Local farmers are looking
forward to seeing samples of all
the best grain produced in the
state last season and to meeting
pure seed growers from other
counties.
Exhibits of small grain in the
seed show represent the actual
condition of seed supplies in the
hands of registered and approved
seed growers of the state. 1t is
probably the only show of its kind
where hand picking is barred and
where emphasis is really placed
on potential seed value Farmers
looking for pure seed supplies of
the standard varieties for next
years planting can rest assured
that seed of the same quality as
the sample on display can be Sc
cured. Samples of all registered
ard approved seed will have been
tested for purity and termination
by the state grain laboratory at
before the show so that
buyers will know exactly what
they are bargaining for.

CONTRACT SIGNED
DEEP TEST WELL

According to Secretary t. P.
Danielson, the drilling contract to
cover the new deep test Of the
Poplar structure being undertak-
en- by the Community Drilling
company has been signed, and is
now operative. Starting with 20
inch casing, it provides for guar
test to 1000 feet unless oil is
struck at lesser depth, and geog-
olists estimate that three possible
oil horizons should be reached
within $500 feet from surface.
Contractor E. J. Corscallen was
through Poplar last Saturday
evening, having successfully fin
ished up a contract for six wells
near Baker. He was en- route to
Stelby to check up on his mater
ials and equipment needed for the
we'll here, preparatory to ship
ping in the rig This will not be
a machine" but is made of many
separate parts, which have to be
put together. into a most substan-
tial structure by a special crew of
rig-builders. He also wanted to
make arrangements for the dig
ging of the pit under the derrick
site, which will be % feet deep,
and urged the company to speed
up its financing campaign for the
next few weeks, so that there
would be no possibilities of de-
lays on that score after the first
the year.

5 MILLION XMAS
SEALS FOR Sale

With five million Christmas
seals as ammunition and with a
volunteer army 1000 strong, eager
to throw itself into the battle
against the great white plague,
the Montana tuberculosis asso-
citation is carrying on its 18th an
nual Christmas seal campaign
which continues until Christmas.
Mrs. Margaret Inglehart, county
supt. of schools is the seal sale
chairman for the rural schools.
The Christmas seal is unusually
attractive this year with it's pic
ture of a Roman galleon flying
over the spray tossed waves, bear
ing on her mainsail the red dou-
ble-barred cross, emblem of the
fight against tuberculosis.
History of Seals
In 1916 the first seals were sold
in Montana-the same year the
fight against tuberculosis was
launched in this state. The tuber-
culosis death rate in Montana in
1916 was 1883 per 100000 people;
in 1927 it was 65.5 per 100000. The
money raised by the sale of the
seals in Montana is used by the
Montana Tuberculosis association
to promote public health nursing
service; to help the tuberculous
get proper care; to promote health
work in the schoolsi to encourage
and help finance summer health
camps; and to conduct an untir-
ing educational campaign which
teaches that tuberculosis is pre-
ventable and durable and how it
may be prevented and cured.
Origin In Denmark
The Christmas seal originated
twenty-five years ago in Denmark
with a kindly postal clerk who was
interested in a hospital for tuber-
culous children AS he was sort
ing letters one day it occurred to
him that gay little seals could be
sold to put on letters and the
money used to help children and
others afflicted with tuberculosis.
And so the Christmas seal was
born.
