DRY CREEK ROAD
RECEIVES NOTICE
Protests of Various Kinds Are
Presented in Person From
East Carbon County

The commissioners closed a three
day session yesterday afternoon, the
usual business engrossing the atten-
tion of L. E. Gard, J. B. Convery and
J. NJ. Anderson.
A contract was entered into with
John Sinko for the building of new
vaults to house the books and papers
of the county clerk and the clerk of
the district court. The old vaults are
crowded and are none too fire-proof
at the present time.
The new vaults will be two stories
in height and will be built on the south
side of the main building. The CON
struction will be of cement, hollow tile
and brick and will be IA by II feet in
size. The contract price is $2,782.00
and the work of building will be
started as soon as weather conditions
will permit.
Another matter that was entered
/ into by the commissioners was that
of the proposed road to the Dry Creek
oil field from Red Lodge This is the
road that has been surveyed by En-
gineer Fifield, of Billings, and follows
the present road leading into the oil
basin. The survey was made under
the direction of the business men of
Red Lodge and is very feasible one
according to the estimates furnished.
From the O'Conner gate to the top
of the hill, distance of 4.02 miles,
a 24-foot road has been surveyed and
the grade is from 6 to Z per cent with
the exception of about 700 feet, which
at no time reaches a grade of over
10 percent. The most of the road il
located on the south slopes, very little
running onto the northern sides. 1t is
an entirely new location as regards
the hill proper, but the balance is the
present road location leading into the
basin. The cost of the building of the
hillside road is given as $9,208.58 by
Mr.. Fifield, who has had many years
experience as an engineer.
Several petitions were presented to
the commissioners by residents of
Belfry and Bridger and several resi-
dents of that part of the county were
resent and after much encouragement
were finally prevailed upon to give
verbal reasons for the protests. The
main objection raised was that no new
roads were needed in the county and
that the country through which TIE
ighway now runs did not need to have
an improved road.
Among the men from the eastern
part of the county present were j. w.
Jones, j. NJ Montgomery, Al. Reese
Joe ALBRIGHT and H. B. Wood of Bird
ger; j. H. Bunney, Mike R. Markovich
R. E. Hall and John Romek, Of Belfry.
The county commissioners listened
carefully to the various remarks but
made arrangements to meet with Mr.
Fifield Friday morning in order to go
over the field carefully with him. The
understanding is that the estimate is
high and that the county engineer can
pare the costs down considerably.

entered the Mettle Agency to look

He seemed most interested in a

The most prominent window space,

But AS he continued to look it
over for more than few minutes
stephen came up to him and caSu-
ally mentioned a few hidden merits
OF the model.
Lefty'S interest grew and before
he left nc asked about a road test.
stephen consulted the list of names
Of persons desiring to have the car
demonstrated on the road and told
Lefty nc could take him out the fol-
lowing Wednesday,.
''All right, put me down" Lefty
said Importantly, but listen,
brother. I want a test of the car I'm
gonna buy, see?"
Stephen shook his head Sorry,

model you're interested in is from
