EVELYN TRUD0 BADLY
BURNED ON SHOULDER

What might have been a much
more serious accident than it was
happened to Evelyn Trudo Tues
day evening. A small can of
gasoline which was near the range
caught on fire. Jack Trudo took
it to the back door, Evelyn com
ing right behind him. The wind
was very strong just at that time
and as he threw it, it was blown
back against Evelyn. Her dress
and hair caught on fire and in a
moment she was mass of flames.
Presence of mind made her throw
herself onto the ground and roll
in the mud caused by the rain
that day. The flames were quick
ly extinguished, and though she is
severely burned on her shoulder
and forehead, she is getting along
nicely. She is to be congratulated
on the quickness of thought which
prevented her from re-
ceiving much more serious burns.

STATE COMMISSION
WIRES WASHINGTON

w. L. Young attended a meet
ing of the State Highway commits
sion at Helena Wednesday to
learn the status of the highway
project connecting the Missouri
Rriver bridge with the Roosevelt
highway. The contract for this
piece of road was let last fall and
as the work has been begun by
the Lalonde & Powers company,
who were awarded the contract
Recently the work was temporari-
ly suspended as the result of
protest by citizens of Poplar to
the federal bureau of roads at
Washington. Delegations have al
so visited Helena.
AT Helena Mr.. Young placed the
exact facts of the situation before
the state commission who wired
the Chief Engineer Macdonald at
Washington. The message stated
that the action of the federal
bureau in suspending work en-
barrassed the state commission in
its plans. That the contract for
the bridge road was let last Nov
ember. That access to the bridge
from the east would be well taken
care Of by a county road. An
early decision and reply was re-
Mr. Young has no doubt that
the road will be completed as
planned. The temporary delay is
occasioned by the desire of the
highway authorities to show court
esy to the protestants.

ORGANIZE WOOL
POOL HERE SAT.
H. w. MILLER OF THE SOUTH
SIDE HEADS SELLING
COMMITTEE

The northeastern Montana wool
pool was organized here Saturday,
with H. w. Miller of Wolf Point
as president, Harry D. Crandall of
Bainville vice president and A. V.
Appelgren secretary treasurer.
About 25 sheepmen attended,
the majority of them being from
the east end of Roosevelt county.
A w Warden, county agent, who
has been interested in having
sheepmen form pool, was here.
An address on feeding of sheep
was made by special speaker
from the state extension depart
ment.
A pool of 3,100 fieeces was sign
ed and it is expected that a mini
mum of two cars will be handled
by the pool this year, as many
wool growers of northern McCone
county and from several sections
OF Roosevelt county, who were not
dicated an interest in the pool
The officers will serve as a sales
committee to have charge of the
marketing work this year. Coun-
ty Agent A. W. Warden has the
following to say in regard to the
pool in which he is very much
interested:
"The pool plans to handle wool
sales in much the same manner
as similar pools throughout Mont
ana During the next few weeks |
wool growers who are interested |
in pooling will sign an agreement |
to market through the association. |
With these contracts in hand, the |
sales committee will sell the wool |
to the highest bidder and will
make arrangements to have the
wool stored as rapidly as it is de-
ivered to shipping points. Pay
ment will be made wholly or in
past at time of delivery and the
balance will be paid at time of
shipment
"Wool pools have taken big
,lace in the marketing of Montana
WOOL during the past few seasons,
several pools now organized ship
)ing close to a million pounds.
Is wool pools seem more neces-
airy where sheepmen are scatter
d over a wide range it is believed
he newly organized pool will fill
big need in the section tributary
o Roosevelt county shipping
oints."
