CONSTRUCTION MAY START
Within The next TEN DAYS
Idaho and Cal. Companies
Ready to Move in
On the Job

Morrison and Knudsen, contract
ing company of Boise, Idaho, will
build the Unit A section OF the
Red Lodge-Cooke City highway,
according to announcement of the
Bureau of Public Roads office at
Portland yesterday. Their bid, in
association with the company of
Macdonald and Kahn Of San Fran
cisco, was S419,330.
Work on the stretch from above
Richel lodge to the top of the
Twin Lakes plateau can be ex-
pected to start within ten days
Morrison and Knudsen, having
road outfits already at work in
western territory, can ship mach
inery and equipment into Req
Lodge with a minimum of delay.
No accurate statements as to
the number of men who will be
employed can be made at this
time, although by next week the
engineers in charge will have the
job mapped out.
Construction engineers of the
company of Morrison and Knud-
sen of Boise, Idaho, arrived in
Red Lodge Tuesday with the in
tention of arranging for the in
gress of road building machinery
and the lining up of road crews
for work ON the Red Lodge-C Cooke
highway, but have been delaying
final placement of the contract for
Unit A of the road.
Information concerning the pos
sible letting of the Unit A con-
tract to the firms of Morrison
Knudsen and Macdonald Kahn had
not been Forthcoming since last
week when it was learned from
official sources that the Bureau
of Public Roads had recommended
those companies to build this end
Of the road. Although a bit of
inside information" published
in another county publication last
week declared that Morrison
Knudsen and Macdonald Kahn
had been definitely selected as the
contractors for this section, and
that their machinery would be in
the territory within ten days, the
contract was not definitely placed
until yesterday.
A telegram received here Tues
day by E.9B. Allsop, engineer and
superintendent of construction for
Morrison and Knudsen, contained
instructions from that company
to suspend action until the con-
tract was placed, signed and seal
ed.
The delay in the signing of the
contract, which has caused no lit
tie impatience and anxiety in these
parts was in no way the fault of
the companies bidding on the pro-
ject, said Mr.. Allsop, as the Idaho
and California companies were as
anxious to cut loose on the road
as are the unemployed laborers in

COUNTY TAXPAYERS
BODY UNFAv0RAbLE
TO EXTRA SESSION
Extra Legislation for Farm
Relief Not Advisable 1T
This Time is Opinion Of
Association.

Members of the Taxpayers As
sociation of Carbon county, at a
meeting held at Roberts last
Thursday, expressed themselves
as opposed to any possible extra
sessions of the state legislature
this year, and drew up a resolu-
tion of that opinion which was
sent to Governor Erickson.
Though it cannot be denied that
there are farmers in the state and
perhaps in this county who are
financially distressed, and would
be materially aided by state ap-
preparations for farm relief, the
state has no surplus money in it's
treasury, and is unable to pass
relief laws in an emergency, said
the report of the Association. 1t
was mentioned at Thursdays
meeting that once before, in 1919,
the state attempted to succor fl
nancially smitten farmers by call
ing special session of the legis-
lature for farm relief. In that in
stance, no effective legislation
was passed and the holding of the
extra session threw an extra bur-
den on the taxpayers of the state.
An act passed at that 1919 session
allowed the counties to float bonds
to a greater extent than had been
permitted before, although that
act did not mitigate personal fl
nancial sufferings of the farmers,
sioner himself, and was able to
present the situation to the asso-
citation in a thorough and accur-

RED CROSS AIDS
IN DROUGHT SECTIONS
Million Will Be Spent in North
Dakota and Montana During
Winter.

The Red Cross today said it was
giving aid to 10000 persons in Mon
tans and North Dakota because Of
drought conditions in those States and
estimated S1,000,000 will be expended
for this purpose during this Winter.
The announcement was made in con-
nection with an appeal for a large
enrolment in the Red Cross f1ftieth
anniversary roll call now in progress.
At the same time, the organiZation's
national headquarters received a mes
sage from National Condr. Henry l..
Stevenson indorsing the campaign in
behalf Of the American Legion. He as
serted in urging a larger enrolment
during the drive that you will be re-
paid many fold in the dissatisfaction
that comes with doing a good deed"
Chairman John Barton Payne of the
American Red Cross said the people of
Montana and North Dakota are rails
ing within their own borders an addi-
tional $450,000 to add to the cash grants
from the Red Cross.
1t was pointed out that on October
80, the Red Cross had aided 3.174
families in Montana and 1921 families
in North Dakota. A Winter peak load
of more than double this number is
anticipated.
The chairman. in appealing for do
nations, said I'VE feel that every citi-
zen elsewhere in our Nation will well

raise a volunteer division aroused pop
ular sentiment throughout the country
in his favor, but approval would have
opened the door for many other ap-
plications and the policy would have
interfered materially with the orderly
and businesslike application of the
draft law.
Moreover, the regular establishment
would have suffered from the loss Of
an undue proportion Of the best Off
GERS, who inevitably would have been
selected for important positions in
these special units at a time when
their services were urgently needed in
building more largely.
Another important reason for disap-
proving Colonel Roosevelt's application
was that in such war it was neces-
sary that officers, especially those in
high command, should be thoroughly
trained and disciplined. Furthermore,
Colonel Roosevelt was not in the best
of health and could not have with
stood the hard work and exposure Of
training camps and trenches.

SAVE YOUR EYES
DR.. J. F. Andrae, Secretary Maryland

Automobile Accidents

Automobile Accidents
Last year the death rate from au-
tomobile accidents in the United
States totalled more than 10000. At
that speed it won't take US long to
equal the number which were lost by
us in the recent war; Those deaths
aroused great sense of national loss,
but what about the thousands of men,
women and children who pay with
their lives each year due to automo-
bile accidents? These figures do not
include the hordes who are crippel
and incapacitated for life.
In this State where an eye test is
given to all applicants for drivers
license, the fatalities are much lower
than in the States where no atten-
ton is given to the condition of the
eye. You may say that all these
deaths cannot be laid to poor eye
sight, but on the other hand, only a
small percentage can be laid to faulty
mechanism of the auto. 1t is the hu-
man element that does not keep pace.
& THE eyes are still shaped as when
our forefathers spied another moving
object far down the road, coming
slowly towards them. Then there was
plenty of time to speak to the oxen
and in the later generations, to rein
in the faster horses, so there would be
plenty of room for both vehicles on
the narrow road. But now an auto
mobile is no sooner in sight than it is
upon you. If your eyes are not equip
ped to judge distance with the neces-
sary fine distinction for time, where
are you? In the ditch, most likely.

Calling Negro mister"
Hard Job For Pastor

BOSTON. Mass.-Teaching him
self how to call Negro Mister"
was the hardest lesson that the Rev.
Francis M. Jones. white, formerly
of South Carolina, told conference
of Congregationalists here last week.
When he came North for the first
time he was introduced to colored
people socially and was faced with
the problem of calling them "Mis-
ter custom which was wholly un-
known in the state of his nativity.
He took himself in hand, he said.
and with the aid of religion set out
to conquer his inherited bias.
The problem said Mr.. Jones, is
an emotional, not an intellectual one,
for white people. He suggested the
following as an approach to the solu-
ton: Embrace every opportunity for
high self-appraisement on
the part of the colored people; a
sympathetic study by whites of the
past history of Negroes also repeated
social contacts, specific and general.
Since he left the South he has
travelled extensively in Europe, Asia
and Africa, making innumerable
racial contacts and observation, and
he now says that color means moth
ing save differentiation of the var
ious groups of common race.
