Grading Is Finished
On Road Near Froid

Froid, Aug. 11.-That portion OF
the Culbertson-Plentywood road
project which extends from Pi-
oneer school south to the Luther
an cemetery of Froid has been
completed by Stevens Brothers,
contractors, who were on the job
of construction work day and
night for several weeks. The only
part now unfinished is the gray
cling, which is on the program
for next summer after the road
bed has been packed down in
shape for the final touches. When
this is done travellers from this
point will have a complete grav-
eled highway through to Wolf
Point and on west for a consid-
cradle distance.
At a special meeting of the
town council Stevens Brothers
were given a contract to grade
the road from the Great Northern
tracks west to meet the new
highway.

from the Pacific to che Atlantic
every few days in winter and al
longer intervals in summer. These
storms cause moving areas of low
pressure; the low pressure draws
winds both from the north and
the south; these winds mix; the
cold north winds precipitate the
moisture from the warmer south
ern ones. That, in a sentence, is
the cause of Americas rain.
Ordinarily these recurring
storms follow a path which eros
e the northern third of the
United States. Since July 20 not
n of these storms has done so.
They have not vanished, inspec-
ton of Canadian records show.
They merely have been swinging
farther north than usual, crossing
the Hudson Bay region and pro
viding the more ample rains
which Canada has received. The
wheat and corn belts of the Unit
ed States have been left south
of the storm track untouched by
the mixture of winds which might
have brought rain.
A step back of this lies another
question. Why has the storm
track swung farther north? Here
differ. but Mr.. Herbert
Janvrin Browne, weather fore
caster of unofficial status but of
success, has an idea
The ultimate culprit, he believes,
is the moon, which in it's swings
southwark and northward in sue
cessive decades affects the tidal
equilibrium of the oceans and thus
the winds on land. The cycle of
moon motions which now is &C.
curing repeats, Mr.. Browne points
out, that of 1874, and 1874 was
also a year of drought. AS a sci
guess, this is perhaps the
best now available. But much re-
remains to be made before
a certain conclusion can be
'eached.

Cigarettes Prove
Drought Fire Hazard

Carelessness with lighted match

the excessive drought. A lighted

may leave a prairie fire in it's
wake. Several small fires have
been reported from that source

distinction as Montana's lowest
taxed municipality during the
year, it is believed, though the
levy was increased one-half mill
by the city council.
The total levy for the ensuing
year will be 16 mills, as compared
with 1875 mills last year. In 1929,
the city with the next lowest tax
levy was Big Timber, with 20
mills. Dillon also had the lowest
