VICTIM OF ASSAULT is
IN CRITICAL
AT LOCAL HOSPITAL

John C. O'Grady, who was made the
victim of a bunch of high jackers at
Raymond two years ago ON the
strength of a lie which eminated from
his enemies, that he was supposed to
be reporting on the bootlegegrs, is in
the Plentywood hospital in a precari-
Gus condition.
He lost his eye sight as the result
of the beating administered to him
two years ago.. Two of the parties
involved has since served a short term
in the Penitentiary and the third man
is still a fugitive from Justice.
Last week Mr.. O'Grady's blinded
eyes commenced to pain him so much
that he had to enter the hospital. Al
tho he got considerable relief from
the pain, it is feared now that the in
tense agony he has gone through,
coupled with the brooding over his
lost eyesight, has so far impaired his
physical and mental condition that he
may never recover
Monday evening he vas out of his
!: head, and did not know anyone and in
| his delerium about all he talked about
was his eyesight.

Scott Leavitt Obtains Action
for Development From Fed
eral Government
Special To The Herald
(By Gordon Squires)

WASHINGTON, June 30-Hope for
final congressional action on Repre-
sentatives Scott Leavitt's bill to auth
orize rehabilitation of the Bitter Root
reclamation project in western Mon
tana at a cost of s750,000, approached
certainty this week when the Senate
Irrigation committee approved his
measure exactly as it had already
passed the House.
Despite the fact that earlier in the
week the proposed legislation was bit
terly fought on the floor of the House
of Representatives by Representatives
McFadden of Pennsylvania, the Mon
tana Congressman was able to secure
a four to one vote in favor of his
measure. Mr.. Leavitt expressed the
belief that the bill would pass the
Senate and become a law before ad-
journment.
The Leavitt bill proposes that the
government finance from the Federal
reclamation fund the Bitter Root pro-
ject which is at present overburdened
with debt and badly in need of new
construction and do so in such a man
ner as will insure safety for the in
vestment. The Bitter Root project is
a private enterprise and this legisla-
ton may thus determine future gov
eminent policy toward private recla-
nation projects. An amendment by
Mr.. Cramton of Michigan sets the pre-
cedent that Federal funds shall not
be used above rs per cent of the face
value of the outstanding indebtedness.
Mr.. Cramton aided materially in the
enactment of the measure.
The Bitter Root project is located in
Ravalli county and comprises about
20, 1000 acres. 1t was constructed in
1910 at an approximate cost of $4,000
900 and includes a main canal 70 miles
long. About 10 miles of this canal is
in wooden fumes, part of which is
unsafe and must be rebuilt.
In presenting the matter to the
House Mr.. Leavitt referred to the pro
ject as one typical of many in the
country, and suggested that the Bit
ter Root proposition could well be
used as an experimental laboratory
for studying the rehabilitation prob
lens of reclamation projects.

And |. V. A.
win n. D. PRIMARIES;
|TOWNLEY DEFEATED
Independent Lead Assures
Shafer' and Sinclair Elec-
ton This Fall

Independent control of both branch
es of the State legislature Of North
Dakota has become a definite certain
ty as a result of the primary election
held in that state last week. This is
the first time since 1916 that the Non
partisan League has not controlled
one or both branches of the legisla-
ture. They have also held control at
Bismarck by ~electing Non-partisan
candidates. Some leaguers were re-
elected but the Office of Governor over
which the greatest political battle
ragged gave the nomination to Gov
ernor George Shafer, with a lead of
more than $4,000 votes over f. H,
Brant, Non-partisan league candidate,
In North Dakota the vote at the
primaries tell the story for the gen.
eral fall election and this will be. the
cas- this year as usual.
Townley went down to defeat with
a vote of 1852 as against Sinclair who
received 28361 votes. Williams County
which used to be one of the Townley
strongholds gave him only 429 votes
while Sinclair received 1902 votes and
Staale Hendrickson 324 votes.
Counties which have long been Non
partisan strongholds swung over to
Governor Shafer, were Divide, Dunn,
Grant, Hettinger, Renville, McHenry
and Sheridan. The Non-partisans car
ried only 10 of the 40 counties in the
State.
As an indication of the change in
the votere attitude, in 1916 the Non
partisans carried the state on the vote
for governor with 1884 votes; the
1919 recall election, 16,700 votes,
1920, 5,414 votes; in 1920 the N. P. l..
led by 11,070 votes; in 1924 they won
with a majority of 2,127 votes; in 1926
with 24,373 votes. In 1928 they lost
to the /. V. AS by 1908 votes, and
this time with more then $4,000 votes.
The defeat Of Townley also spells
the end of the American Temperance
League which was a money raising
scheme to further the Townley candi-
dacy for Congressman.

Rains
Turnout District
LQstFeU Weeks

The rain that fell here in Sheridan
County last Friday, Saturday and
Sunday came in the very nick of time
as it was becoming very dry here af-
ter the hot winds and extreme heat
that visited this County for such g
long period.
1t is claimed that more than 1.5C
inches of rain fell in Plentywood
those three days and the reports from
various parts of the County indicate
that more rain fell in most places
then in this immediate vicinity.
The ground is now soaked down tC
the old moisture in most places and
is enough to assure US of a crop, al
though another rain about the middle
of July would be of great aid in max
ing this crop the largest in the his
tory Of the County.

HIGHWAY BRIDGE AT
CULBERTSON LIKELY
TO BE CONSTRUCTED
Commissioners From Sheri-
dan and Other Counties
Visit Helena In Its Behalf
(Froid Tribune)

A delegation composed of w. Stahl
of Culbertson, Mr.. Teisinger Of Sid
ney, Mr.. Anderson of Sioux Pass,
Commissioner French of Sheridan
county, and Senator Schnitzler of
Froid, ~journeyed to Helena last week
and met with the Highway Commits
sion to present finance plan for the
proposed bridge over the Missouri
south of Culbertson.
A thoro analization of the plan was
made and proved to contain sufficient
merit to convince the Board that it
was workable and placed their stamp
Of approval upon it, and stated that
they would recommend to the Federal
Highway Board that a road leading
from either Sidney on Fairview t,
Culbertson be designated and hat the
bridge too has their recommendation
for designation.
Congressman Leavitt has introduced
a bill which provides for permission
to construction of the bridge, and Sen
ator Walsh has introduced a like mea-
sure in the Senate body. These are
only preliminary moves but the pro-
position is now well started and the
entire sections south and north Of the
proposed bridge are enthusiastic and
wish to see it done just as soon AZ
possible.

E0te Tourist Say
Roads Bum From
Canadian Line

That the Provincial highway No. 6
is now in fine condition is evidenced
by the fact that two irate automobile
lists came here Tuesday even
ing. The reason they were sore wa
on account of the road from the line
north of Raymond to Plentywood.
They said their roads were dragged
right to the line and kept up in fine
shape, and on this side it was just
one mess of bumps and ruts. They
told US further that we were not en-
titled to a particle of trade or busin-
ess from Canada unless we fixed thu.
II mile stretch by at least keeping ii
dragged so that it would be passable,
and that as soon as they returned to
Regina vigorous protests would he
made about the way we cooperate
with them in fixing the road on this
side.

CANADIAN PORT OF
CHANGES TO
RAYMOND In AUGUST

The Commercial Club received a let
ter from the Regina Board of Trade.
under date of June 28th, in which they
state that the Canadian Port of En-
try will move from Sybouts to the line
north Of Raymond on Highway No. 6,
and that a contract has been let and
the construction of buildings will
commence in two weeks. However.
they do not believe the new port will
be officially opened until the last days
in July OR the first two weeks in Au-
gust. They do not believe it can be
completed in time to sare for visitors
to the Provincial Exhibition at Re-
gina July 28th to August End.
Tourist Must Use Care
Owing to certain d~isregards Of
proper entry and departure from Can
ada, stringent methods are to be ex-
ecuted at once and penalties Inflicted
on tourists from this vicinity who do
not register at Sybouts. Such tour
ist must go by Dooley, thence to Sy-
bouts in a northwesterly direction to
register, and after proper entry has
been made to go straight north to
Gladmar and turning to left there and
follow the railroad track to Minton,
on Highway No. 6 and thence straight
north to Regina.
Canadian tourists entering the
states should turn east at Minton to
Gladmar then south and stop at Sy-
bouts, thence southeast around the
end Of the lake and then due south
into Dooley.
Until the Port Of Entry is finally
opened north Of Raymond all tourists
must go through Sybouts, or be heav-
lily penalized. However, this will be
obviated about August 1st when the
new port opens officially.

JAMES MCHAELS IS
ELECTED AS HEAD OF
LOCAL FARM union
Farmers Union Is Not a Pol
itical Organization; Only
For Farmers Betterment

The Farmers Union of Sheridan
County held their annual meeting in
Plentywood last Saturday. Delegates
were present from every local in Sher-
idan County, as well as many other
members, who took a keen interest in
all that was said and done.
Election of officers took place which
resulted in James Michaels of Reserve
being chosen as President of the
County organization for the ensuing
year; John r. Shoal of Westby, Vice
President; D. M. Machines of Red
stone, Secretary-Treasurer and the
executive Committee selected were R.
K. LELAND of Antelope, Martin Lar
sen of Dagmar and a Mn. Nygaard of
Comertown. 0. f. Wang of Plenty
wood was chosen as the conductor of
meetings and o. B. Hoven of Antelope
as Doorkeeper.
Following this election, stirring adj
dresses were made by J. T. Kelly, the
State President of the Farmers Union,
A. w. Kicker, editor of the Farmers
Union Herald Of St. Paul and l.. c.
Hart Of Williston, as we'll as Mr.. Ed
wards.
The Farmers Union is not a polit
zeal organization, backed by the Pro-
ducers News element. That has been
the belief of many people in Sheridan
County. The meeting held there on
Saturday afternoon in the Farmer-La-
Dor Temple clearly demonstrated that
this organization is a strictly non
political, non-sectarian organization,
with the aim of improving the farm
conditions. There were republicans,
democrats, farmer-laborites, social
lists and Independents present at that
meeting. The Farmers Union is quite
Identical with the old Farm Bureau
and is entitled to the support of ev-
cry business mar and firm who has
the best interests Of the farmers at
heart. There are more than ten
thousand members in the Farmers I'm
ion in Montana, and it's members
throughout the nation a be counted
