RICHMOND. Va, July 25.--lSoth
DR.. EnniOn G. Williams. State
health commissioner. and DIR. Harry
G. Grant, State epidemiologist, have
been conferring with health authori-
ties OF Roanoke and other sections
of Virginia in which infantile
paralysis has been causing alarm
within the last few days and have
given instructions as to how to
check the spread of the disease, it
was learned here today.
DIR. Cooke, health officer Of Lex.
ington, inquired of the State health
department as to whether to permit
the opening today Of the summer
school Of the Virginia Military In
stitute, saying several cadets from
Roanoke were expected to be pres
ent. The department did not advise
against the opening of the school.
It was recalled that infantile
paralysis at the Lexington school in
1897 caused rigid precautions to be
taken then. as cadets from several
States had become IN and 1t was
feared that there would be an cpl.
demic at the school. The situation
was soon gotten under control.

interested briefly outline the rou-
tine which a bill must take in order
to become law. We will take, for
example, a house BILL At the time
it is introduced it is read by the clerk
before the whole assembly, then re-
ferred to the proper committee by the
speaker. The committee considers
the bill and if in its opinion the bill
is meritorious measure, they report
favorably. Then it is discussed, ex-
planned and debated on the floor of
the house, in what is called on Gen
eral Order. After the discussion is
all over and the house feels it is
ready for the question they take a
vote to ascertain whether the House
is in favor of recommending the bill
to pass. If the majority vote Aye,
the bill is then placed on what is
called Third Reading, usually a day
or two later. The bill is then voted
on by roll call, every member present
is expected to answer Aye or No.
When bill comes up for third read
ing no discussion is allowed but a
member when called up to vote may
explain his vote if he desires. This
was sometimes done with the idea of
influencing some member to vote
their way If the bill receives ma
jorty of the votes on the roll call II

On my return from the Legislature
session at Helena, | was asked by
the editor of the Plentywood Herald
to write an article about some Of my
experiences and impressions and
something concerning important
legislation that was passed or re-
jected.
This | promised to do, and although
rather late in completing my story,
| trust that it will meet with the ap-
proval of the Herald readers.
No doubt the voters of Sheridan
County would like brief report from
their representative as to some of
the things done and laws enacted in
our great state. want to assure my
readers that representative, if he
attends to his work properly, is a
busy person most all Of the time. We
would be busy at session and COM
mittee meetings a good part of each
day. Several evenings we had night
sessions lasting till toward midnight.
The last day, in order to finish up all
business and adjourn, we stayed in
session until two o'clock the next
morning. No doubt many of you think
that legislator should get fat at
that kind Of job. Some do, and
some do not. / know for a fact, that

ing man lost ten pounds in weight in

about a month. His normal weight is
about $50 pounds.
The legislative body consisted of
106 representatives and 56 senator's.
Their ages ranged from % years to
II. The house introduced 348 bills and
the Senate 148.
One does not realize the vastness of
the state until he beholds the variety
of business enterprises represented
Each one proposing amendments,
changes or new measures to be enact
ed into law, which they argue will be
a beneficial law to their line.
| will name some of the main in
dustries and occupations so you will
more readily understand the wide
range of viewpoints that had to be
taken into considerations These in
dustries included: agriculture, mining
numbering, the oil business which is
rapidly increasing in Importance; be-
sides some manufacturing, etc.
To accomplish the vast amount of
legislation up for consideration, in
the sixty days, the work had to be
hurried through. Consequently many
bills were killed, not because they
lacked merit, but the time was too
precious to give them the attention
they required. This was especially
true toward the close of the session.
The result of this hurried legisa-

Max Hueth'S Home
Razzed by Fire Sat.
Fumes From Open Can Of
Gasoline lgnited From
Stove Heat

A disastrous fire occurred here last
Saturday when Mr.. and Mrs Max
Hueth has the misfortune to lose all
their furniture and personal belong
ings.
Mrs. Hueth had been cleaning
cloths in the kitchen with gasoline
and left an open can of gasoline on
a bench near the kitchen stove while
she went over to the neighbors on an
errand and the escaping fumes from
the gasoline were shortly ignited and
the entire interior of the house was
a mass of flames when it was dis
covered and the alarm turned in.
The ,Plentywood fire department
responded instantly but the interior
of the house was all on fire when
they arrived, but they managed to
put it out with the chemical engines
as it was 1400 feet to the nearest
hydrant. Hose was laid to The house
without delay and fire broke out a.
gain twice but was checked at once.
The furniture was fairly well COW
cred with insurance and small
policy was carried on the house which
is owned by David Fleenor, but the
loss in personal belongings of the
Hueth family can never be replaced
with money.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hueth were very
fortunate in obtaining another house
without delay, considering the hous-
ing shortage in plentywood at this
time, and they are now busy obtain
ing new household goods and will
shortly be settled in there home. Mr..
Fleenor intends to repair the fire
damaged house as soon as the in
surance adjuster has been here and
paid the loss.

tion was that the meritorious measur-
es. especially if they were short, were
passed, but many bills of undesir-
able length, especially if they were
new were given the "ax" Ito use the
current expression) by the senate
and also by the house.
Most new ideas, proposed in the
form of measure to be enacted into
law are more likely than not, to be
killed in the first session they are in
troduced. Then, in subsequent ses-
sons, the same measures, slightly
changed, stand a much more favor
able chance of being passed. This
seemingly slow process Of making
laws has it's good points. 1t gives
the legislature time to think the mat
ter over and to consider the ques-
tions from various angles. The spon-
sors of the bills, have no doubt Civ
en- the matters they sponsor deep and
thorough thought, but most Of the
members have not The difficulty,
then, IS to get majority to support
the measure. If some radical change
is called for the majority in favor of
postponing the question till some fu-
ture time and give it time to soak
in They argue: "We have lived a
long time without making this change
and there is no hurry"

To Place Drilling Equipment
On Plentywood-Redstone
Acreage By May |
County Will Be Benefited
If Tests Prove To Be
Good

A number of financiers who have
interested themselves in drilling
three test wells for oil and gas in
this territory on acreage acquired by
the plontywood -Redstone Holding
Company have spent several days
here checking over the acreage to be
turned over to them, and it is their
intention to test out the field in a
thorough manner if the acreage can
be blocked solid, and from reports
received, the land owners in the ter
rtory desired, are cooperating to
their fullest extent by turning in
their leases to the Holding Company
who are turning them over to the
syndicate that will drill here.
One rig will be here not later than
May lst, but do not know just where
it will be placed but will be west of
Plentywood in the Redstone territory.
The drillers will be prepared to
make thorough test and drill 6000
lctl IL HeCeSSdly.
The efforts of many of our local
men and those who have given them
a great deal Of assistance in the Out
look and Redstone territory in block
ing up this acreage will see their
hopes fulfilled of getting the terri
tory tested out. If oil is found it will
mean a tremendous business boom
and land values will increase in leaps
and bounds. On the other hand, should
these test holes bring in part of the
Pacific ocean it will put at rest all
talk of oil here, and our land values
will remain as they are.
The Holding Company has leased
$500 acres from Sheridan County
this week, upon which the County has
acquired title, and if oil is brought
in it will benifit every property own
er here as the County will receive
one-eight of any oil or gas which may
be produced and saved from any wells
drilled on its holdings.
- That tire is no selfishness on the
part of the officials of the Holding
Company IS clearly indicated in that
they are turning over the entire
block of leases to the drilling syndi-
cate and not retaining any interest
in this acreage, nor are they receiv-
ing one penny of remuneration for
their efforts, and if good fortune
smiles upon this county by bringing
in some gushers, we will owe these
men considerable.

Northeastern Montana Hit
By Million Dollar Snow

Springs work started out with
considerable encouragement ear
ly last week when the farmers
found but very little moisture in
their fields, and many who had
planned on extensive operations
decided to curtail this as they
found no moisture in land which
they intended to break and seed
to flax.
However, with better than a
foot snowfall beginning last Sun
day morning and continuing off
and on for several days. and the
snow being wet and heavy. it
has put new impetus into the
farming operations as this mois-
ture will soak right into the
ground and not run into the Big
Muddy, and it is believed it will
soak up and put the ground in
equally as good condition as it
was last spring.
1t might be interesting to
know that our total rainfall last
year was only 10 inches. where
as the average for many years
past has been 1870 inches, but
with the moisture in the ground
and the rain coming at the right
moment it carried the crops
through the best ever. Our last
rain in 1928 was on August first,
and it is with much qualification
that farmers now refer to this
as 'the million dollar snow"
