Federal Feed Loans Are Now Available
Cu|bertson Bridge To Be Built,
According To Latest Reports

officials of the bureau of pub ic
roads.
This project was disapproved by
the secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington a few weeks ago. After a COM
plete discussion Of the issues involv-
ed with the Montana commission, Dbl
rector T. H. Mcdonald of Washington
agreed to approve the project along
with the secretary of agriculture.
When this joint approval is received
it will be in order to prepare plans
for the Culbertson bridge.
This approved comes with orders
for additional highway employment
for the balance of the present season
which could, through united approved
by the government and state, be put
into operations at once and which
would afford employment in parts of
this state where work is most need
ed.
The additional work which received
joint approval at Salt Lake City will
consist largely of surfacing, ~resurfac-
ing and reconstruction which does not
not have to wait for construction
plans. Federal aid will apply to some
of the work. Some of it will use only
state funds and will be in the nature
of maintenance restoration. About 70
miles Of road will be benefited by
, the arrangements which have been
entered into. SO far as may be pos
sible, immediate execution OF these
plans have been directed. The state
crushing plants will be used, and 1t
is hoped that other plants now idle can
be secured, which will produce upon
an agreed price per yard. The COM
mission intends to offer much OF the
hauling of gravel to farmers, also
upon an agreed price per yard. Some
of the places selected where it is hop
ed the work described may be done
are the mileage between Froid and
Medicine Lake, between Wolf Point
and POI ar, and from Jordan to Co
hagen, also in the Roundup, Forsyth,
Arlington and Roundup territories.
About $4,000 will be used in Phil
lips, Blaine, and Valley counties for
miscellaneous repairs. Also $4,000 in
five highway districts of the state,
for restoration work. Montana labor
only will be used. The plan is to start
some of this work during this week
and to have it all under way at the
earliest possible date.
O. S. Warden, chairman of the Mon
tana highway commission, was chos-
en- as vice president Of the national
commission, for the district embrace
ing the II public land states of the
west.

MINE T
IDLE TWENTY YEARS

Over in the extreme southeast
part of Sheridan county the old
HOffelt mine was reOpened a
short time ago, after having been
shut down for twenty years.
This coal is considered the finest
quality of Ignite obtainable any
where's. In 1907 this mine was opened
as a strip mine by John Belgon, John
and A. Hoffelt. In 1910 a shaft was
driven under the bank and the good
coal continued and the vein became
greater. When it was shut down the
vein at that points was 13 feet thick,
with a 2h foot roof of very fine coal.
Some time ago the County Commits
%sioners' attention was called to this
mine, and that the owners should be
urged to reopen same. When the two
Hoffelt boys, who originally mined
there, assisted by their brother Frank
went to work the other day and had
the water pumped out, the three or
iginal rooms were found in perfect
condition, and at this time from 80 to
go cars of coal is mined there each
day. People who know the quality of
this coal go long distances to obtain
it.
