of the first paper is
being carried this week with the
regular sheet. AS we look over
the pages of that first paper
such few names seem familiar.
The only reason we have it is,
that for sentiment Mrs. J. Stan
ley Short has preserved it be-
cause her wedding announce
ment was in the first issue, and
she gave the copy to the office
last year. AS we count up,
Colonel Townsend was a very
young man of % years, as was
his partner, Mr.. Julius Scott,
who was associated with him as
co-editor. 1t must have been
an undertaking to those two,
who had had little experience,
and likely little money to carry
out their new adventure. The
fine editorial of that long ago
made promises to the reading
public which have been faith
fully kept, an organ for the re-
cording of the things that made
for the betterment of the COM
munity, voice for the right
thinking people and a policy
that was upright in all respects.
Hats off to you, Colonel Town
send, and to you, Mr.. Scott, for
your paper which has grown
through the years.

HEARING FOR BOSTIC
SCHOOL PETITION Is
SET FOR NEXT MONTH

Commissioners of Carbon Coun-
ty in session this week set the date
for the hearing of the Bostic school
district petition at April 8. The
petition was disallowed bv Miss
Elizabeth Duffield, county super
intendent of schools, last week,
because of an insufficient number
of signers having children living
more than two miles from the pre-
sent school district. Petitioners
appealed to the board of county
commissioners.
Other business taken up by the
commissioners this week included
the meeting of delegation from
East Bench, including Mr.. Gullard,
Mr.. Rock and Mr.. Adams, who are
petltlonlng for change in the
road now in use in that district.
Nels Rogness, B. F. Tuck and

board in regard to the Crockett
road. Frank Bowman, J. M. An

BEARTOOTH AREA
DRAWS INQUIRIES
FOR HOME SITES

Ranger L. H. Mclean of the
Rock Greek ranger station, at the
foot of the Beartooth Mountains
adjacent to Red Lodge, is the re-
cipient of a flood of inquiries and
applications for summer home and
business sites along the proposed
Red Lodge-Cooke City road. in
order that an understanding of the
policy of the forestry department,
regulating such matters, be clear
to the public, Mr.. Mclean wishes
to point out that along a road Of
this type it is the policy to place
ell structures, which will be in view
Of the road, back from the road at
least quarter of mile. When
dense timber is to be found along
the route buildings may be con-
structed not less than 200 feet
from the outside rim of excavation
or fill.
The policy is applicable to all
roads within national forest areas,
and is deemed essential if the beau
ty Of the roadsides is to be pre-
served.
Mr.. Mclean further points out
that before applications for sites
acted upon it is necessary to ex-
tend a recreational survey to both
sides of the highway following con-
struction Of the road project. This
means that certain areas will be
set aside for summer home sites
and business locations. He stated
that anyone contemplating the
building of structures along the
proposed route, should bear in
mind the above procedure when fill
ing application and that favorable
action on applications is not for
Incoming until recreational sur
vey has been extended.
Inquiries for these sites are ar
irving daily from every section Of
the state and outside its boundar-
les.

According to the current IS

SPECIAL ELECTION CALLED FOR
MAY ); ELECTORS WILL Vote
ON HIGHWAY DEbENTURE PLAN

Montana voters will be called to
the polls Tuesday, May 5 to vote
on whether the state highway COM
mission will be authorized to is
sue $6,000,000 in gasoline tax anti
cipation debentures, proceeds from
the sale of which will be used to
match federal aid highway funds
to the credit Of the state. Cover
nor Erickson Tuesday signed
House Bill 450, authorizing the
special election, which was made
necessary by Montana supreme
court decision which held uncon-
stitutional an act of the twenty
second legislature, House Bill No.
1, authorizing the issuance of the
debentures, because of a consti-
tutional provision that large sums
of Indebtedness must be approved
by the people.
Montana has not been taking
full advantage of the federal aid
offered for highway construction
and within the next four years
more than S6,0O0,00O will be avail
able in addition to current allot-
ments. The debentures will be is
sued at the rate of S1,500,000 each
year for four years, if the refer
endum is approved by the Montana
voters at the May special elec
ton.
The six years following will be
devoted to payment Of the bonds
from receipts of the five cent gaso-
line tax, which in the act is ex-
tended to 1941. 1t is planned that
the state will complete it's out
lined highway program in the next
four years and that the surplus
over the amount necessary for
maintenance will be more than
efficient to retire the indebtedness
during the following period.

MALCOLM MacKAY
HEADS RED LODGE
RODEO DIRECTORS

Malcolm MacKay, of New York
City, was elected president of the
board of directors of the Red Lodge
Rodeo Association at the organi-
cations annual meeting Tuesday
night at the Carbon County court
house.
On the suggestion of chairman
A. E. Madsen, it was voted to ell
ect seven members of the board
to serve for two years and six
members for one-year term.
Members elected for the two
year term included Malcolm Mae
Kay, Jim Plunkett, John Corey,

B. w. Holt and Milo Schank.
Al Croonquist, NJ. B. Pay, Roy
Nutting, Ted Smith, Joe Geron-
dale and Edward Bloom were the
directors elected for the one-year

After the regular meeting, the
board met to decide on various de-
tails of the 1881 Rodeo.
Malice Hardy Engaged
A contract was awarded to Malice
Hardy, eleven year old trick and
fancy rider from Coldwater, Kan
sas. Miss Hardy is considered one
of the best drawing cards in the
Rodeo field in the United States.
She was featured in 1928 by the
Haegenbeck- Wallace circus, and in
1929 was headliner on nearly all
of the leading Rodeo exhibitions
of the country. Last year she was
one of the outstanding features Of
the Calgary Stampede.

now being considered, according to
B. w. Holt, secretary of the asso-
citation, but as yet no contract has
been awarded.
A motion was made that two
more members be added to the
board of directors, bringing the
membership from thirteen to a
total of fifteen. No action was
taken on the suggestion, which
will probably be brought up at the
next meeting of the board.
