TAX EQUALIZATION
ORDERED DONE BY
co. commissioners
Clerk and Recorder Employ
Old Assistants to Do The
Work

The County Commissioners had
tnelr regular monthly meeting on
March Bird, 4th and 5th, at which time
they decided to have Neils Madsen,
the Clerk and Recorder look after the
work of equalizing delinquent taxes
between Roosevelt, Daniels and Sher-
idan counties.
This is the same matter which was
advertised last fall and for which
Fred lbsen submitted a bid of $1,000
w. However, the Board found that
under the budget law this money
could not be appropriated and as
County Treasurer HOLMAN had offer
ed to do the work if the Board would
furnish him with two assistants. af-
ter thoroughly considering the matter
and believing that this work should be
done by the Clerk & Recorders Of
flee, the Commissioners instructed
Mr.. Madsen to employ two clerks to
work on this, the salary to be paid
out of the Commissioners budget
fund, as there was no other fund
available for paying for such SER
vices. Mr.. Madsen employed Gordon
Peterson, son of Viggo Peterson and
Ida Erickson, wife Of ex-county at
torney A. c. Erickson to do this
work.
Considerable criticism of the way
this work had first been planned has
been expressed by many residents of
Sheridan county who felt that the
price was exhorbitant, and that in
stead of following the plan used in
the 100000 contract for figuring up
the back taxes on the various tracts
which the county had to take over
for taxes, which was let to Mr.. Ibsen
and later on sublet to f. S. Koser, the
Court reporter, this work should
have been done by people who really
needed it, and who are equally capa-
BILE rs KOser and Ibsen.
By having the work done in the
manner now designated, it should not

The Commissioners also decided to
advertise for the services Of a Jam
tor for the Court House, library and
attorneys Office, and notified
Frank Dionne that his services as
such janitor would expire on April
18th, but he will be permitted to put
n a bid for the new contract. We
understand this position is we'll Jay

SIGNED BY PRES. HOOVER
Relief to Be Distributed to
Needy Farmers in Approx
imately Is States

WASHINGTON, Mar. l2-Presi
dent Hoover has already requested
Congress to appropriate the $1,000,
900 authorized by the federal seet
loan law which he has just signed
and arrangements probably will bt
made Immediately to distribute the
loans, according to information re-
ceived today by Congressman Scott
Leavitt.
The appropriation will be distribut.
ed among Is states, and Montana will
come in for its needs. AS soon as the
appropriation for the loans is made il
is proposed to establish an Office a
some central point in the northwest
probably Grand Forks from which ap.
plications will be handled for farmers
of Montana, North Dakota and Min
nesota. This procedure will be work
ed out, Congressman Leavitt is ad-
vised, through the establishment OF
smaller local committees, which will
make recommendations of applica-
tions. In this connection county agri-
cultural agents will be asked to sug-
gest the personnel for the various
local committees.
Each applicant will be required to
file an application showing the acre
age he proposes to plant in 1880,
quantity of seed required for this
acreage, the amount necessary to
purchase this seed, the amount re-
quired for feed for work stock, the
acreage and yield of crops grown by
him in 1923 and 1929, his present in
debtedness, and other information
which will be useful in determining
his need for assistance. He will al
so execute a note and seed lien, or
crop mortgage together with a vou-
cher on which payment will be made
to him if the loan is approved. All
this will be done under regulations
issued by the Secretay of Agicul-
ture, in accordance with the terms Of
the authorizing resolution, according
to Mr.. Leavitt.

POST OFFICE DEF.
SEEKS OTHELIE OLSEN

Does anyone know the whereabouts
of Mrs. Othelie Olsen who is supposed
to get mail at Plentywood? A letter
is awaiting her at the Plentywood
postoffice, and it has been delivered
to different parties who do not claim
it.
The letter is from a relative living
at Finmark, Ontario, Canada, and it
is apparent this party had received
information that Mrs. Othelie Olsen
had moved into the Plentywood ter
ritory.
Postmaster Jack Bennett has made
numerous inquiries but is unable to
locate this party, and asks the Her.
aid to give the matter publicity, the
same as it did in the issue Of Febru-
airy goth when an inquiry was receiv-
ed by our postmaster to locate one
Phillip Wettlin. The very next day
Mr.. Bennett received letters from two
parties informing him that Phillip
Wettlin had been a resident of Gull
bertson for many years and had died
there some time ago. The letters
we're both sent on to the brother in
New York State who made the in
quiry.
If anyone has information that will
assist Postmaster Bennett to get this
letter into the hands Of Mrs. Olsen,
such person is requested to write him
as soon as possible.

DR.. Cook had reached. at SIS, an
other climax in a crowded and event

and nine months on conviction of
using the mails to defraud in promo
ton of an oil scheme in Texas. When
his parole became effective shortly
after noon Sunday, he had served a
month less than five years of his

Cook left here for Kansas City by
motor car saying he would leave there
for Chicago probably Sunday. Ac-
cording to the terms of his parole he
must report to a FIRST friend" at
Chicago on arrival and make monthly

Must Not Kill Muskrats

sell the fur, and in the event anyone
Is caught violating the law on trap
ping muskrats, he can do nothing but
arrest such violator, and the penalty
will never be less than $500 for
each muskrat, so it will not pay any
one to disturb these furbearers eth
err by shooting or trapping until the
laws permit US to do so.
