out first class work the paper did not
want special consideration because of
that fact, Mr. Wallace said. 1t only
desired that its bid be considered
long with the others and if the others
showed a saving to the taxpayers they
should be given the contract. "Be-
cause two members of this Board had
been directors of the Peoples Publish
ing Company and Mr.. French is now
a stockholder and every preventative
voter in the county, from Bill Hass,
the richest man, 30 myself the humbl-
est in Sheridan county are also stock
holders, is no reason why the Produc-
ers News should get preferential
treatment. If Mr.. Dolin's bid is low
er than our then he should get the
contract. The interest of the tax
powers should be the first concern of
this board"
Mr.. French interrupted by saying
that the contract was already award
ed to Joe Dolin and that Mr.. Wallace
knew that the bid of the Producers
News was lower than that of Mr.. Do
lin. Mr.. Wallace replied that he had
not even read the bid of the Producers
News nor Mr.. Dolin's proposition but
was there to ask the commissioners 10
consider it in fair and impartial
manner, having an eye 10 the interests
of the Taxpayers"

Appeals at San Francisco Today

The case is reviewed on points of
law only. If the county wins in the
Circuit Court it will end the case; if
the company should win it would send

The attorneys for the county feel
very confident of success.
This is the first time the contract
under which Sheridan county funds

Surety company, has been dismissed
by that company as a result of his

Wolf Point, June 4.-Seven reser-
vation Indians were brought to the
county Jail by Sheriff John Anderson
Tuesday morning when they inter-
fered with the crew of the Lalonde
Construction company working on the
federal highway connecting the Wolf
Point bridge over the Missouri with
the Roosevelt highway. Agency Su-
perintendent Eggers and an attorney
employed by the Indians were sent for
and an armistice of two days was
agreed to while the attorney goes to
Helena to argue with the highway au-
thorities.
Several weeks ago citizens of Pop
lar and reservation Indians entered a
protest against the route surveyed for
the connecting highway. An attorney
representing Poplar went to Washing

The protest was mavailing and the
route proposed by the state commits
sion was approved by the federal en-
gineers. The Lalonde company, whicf
was awarded the contract last NO

the octopus. He was naturally sore
and gave instructions to the then edi-

truth. So the company started al

This job was too big for Hobbins anC

build me a hedge over against it and

when the time of the first fruits was
at hand he came to the garden and
looked upon the vines and the trees
and the herbs of the ground and
found no fruit thereon. And he cried

gs6adowed my garden; it hath
grown so tall with the richness of
the earth that it hath sheltered this

Weeks ago this column predicted
that the price of wheat would drop
next fall to IS or IS cents. Just as
Kansas starts its wheat harvest the
price is at that stage now. What will
it be when all the winter wheat is
CrOwding the market and Northwest
spring wheat arrives? Will you, lik'
many others, blame Congress for its
delay in passing the Farm Relief
bill? Will you say, as some do, II
President Hoover had his way this
neyer would have happened? Do not
deceive yourself or permit yourself to
be deceived. All that Hoover offers
had it been in effect now would have
made not the slightest difference. 1t
was not calculated to. A generous
rain in Canada or widespread
drOuth would have more effect upon
the price than all the cooperation
and stabilizing corporations that
Hoover offers sarldOnically as the
cure for farm ills. The farmer thOt
he had rough going when he was de-
tlated in 1921. That was a mere in.
cldent compared to that which is be-
fore him now. This will be the real
