ASK CLOSING OF
OLD COUNTY ROAD
Commission Hears Petition
of Livestock Men and
Taxpayers Group

One of the Oldest vehicle routes
in the county may be given back
to range land if a petition submit
ted to the Carbon county commits
sioners is granted. At the meeting
Of the commission in Red Lodge
this week, a petition of livestock
men of the region requested that
the old road from Red Lodge to
Cody be closed.
This route, which runs south from
Red Lodge around the east side of
Mt. Maurice, was one of the AR
lier channels of transportation in
this region. Before the building of
the railroad to Cody, most of the
freight for that region was car
ried in thru Red Lodge over that
road. It's days of usefulness having
been long since outlived, livestock
owners wish it closed to prevent
interference with fencing.
Commissioners Convery, Ander-
son and Bowlen, during the course
of their session this week, were in
vited by Ed Carroll of the Carbon
County Taxpayers association, to
attend a meeting of that group at
Roberts, March Is.

county road workers, and the APP
proval of a recommendation that

The other statement, printed in
The New York Daily News, cred
tied an "unimpeachable source
close to the Lindbergh family"
The News said it had learned that
some sort of contact had been es-
tablished with the kidnappers, and
that negotiations for the return of
the lost child are now in the final
stages. A mysterious Morris Ros-
ner, whose connections are report
ed to extend deep into the under
world, is directing the negotiations,
The News said.
Rosner is said to be quartered
at the Lindbergh home, and it is
further said it was he who induced
Spitale and Bitz to accept their
commission as Lindbergh agents.
Rosner, The News said, was rec
commended to Lindbergh by three
men, including a cabinet officer
and a congressman, and moved to
Hopewell two days after the baby
was abducted, bringing with him
two lieutenants.
1t was also said that he and Col.
Breckenridge had made several
motor trips together, and a picture

JOLIET BANK WILL
WAIVE MORTGAGES
TO HELP FARMERS
Court Discharges Declare on
Livestock Count; Judge
Grants Divorce

To assist farmers in the vicinity
in obtaining funds for operation
this summer, the Joliet State bank,
which closed its doors on account
of frozen assets last fall, is issuing
waivers on certain mortgages and
obligations by permission of the
thirteenth district court.
In a petition filed in the court
this week, it was stated that prior
to closing the bank had taken NOR
tgages, many Of them chattels, on
crops to be raised in 1882; since
closing, liquidators have taken
others. Many of the farm owners
in the region upon whose property
the mortgages were taken, it was
said, will require assistance from
the federal government and other
agencies this summer.
Government loans demand VAIN
ers on the part of prior lien hold
ers, and the Joliet bank, desiring
to withhold claims to enable farm
ers to procure operating expenses,
asked permission of the court to
execute waivers for deserving
creditors" in order to protect as
sets already pledged to this bank"
The executing of the waivers was
approved by the court, it being un-
derstood that only such as were
plausible should be granted.
The court, conducted by Judge
R. C. Stong of Billings, also heard
a case on county livestock, appeal
ed from a decision given at Bridger
last fall. Carl DeCare, herder for
C. A.. Lewis of Cowley, Wyo., was
found not guilty of a charge of
permitting the owners rams to
run at large in violation of the
state codes.
The court granted a divorce to
Ellen Starcevic, charging Anton
Starcevic with failure to provide,
awarding her custody of two chill
dren and the right to assume the
name of Stark for herself and chill
dren.
The cases of C. F. Oliver against
Louis johnson, and Producers
Ranch company against Paul High
tower were dismissed. The judge
reviewed five probate cases, and
disposed of two cases in regard
to guardianship.

BEARCREEK 'POISONS'
FOR SEASON RECORDS

Concerning the Bearcreek hide
pendents, basket tossers who have
almost matched the season record
of the town high school team, the
following was said in a recent is
sue of The Billings Gazette, by
Jack keenan,, sports editor:
ut was perhaps fortunate for
the Butte Oilers that lack of fl
nances kept the Bearcreek "Pois-
ons" out of the state independent
tournament at Helena last week.
The Poisons, be it known, have
won some 80 out of 40 starts in the
last two seasons and if they had
been in the competition the Oilers
conceivably would not now be rec
ognized as state champions.
Rather an enviable record, eh ?
And just to prove themselves a
real organization the Poisons are
to take on the Montana State col
lege Bobcats in a %post-season clash
on the Bearcreek floor March 26.
They added their fifteenth conse-
cutive win of the current season at
the expense of the Gordon Ray
Furriers last Monday and previ-
ously had trounced the F. A. A. G.
quintet of Red Lodge, the only
team to hand the Bearcreekers a
setback in two years.
"The team has averaged Al
points a game for is contests this
season. The Red Lodge Independ-
ents came the closest to winning,
being nosed 35 to SO.
"Quite a club, as Pat Sanderson
and Jack Price are anxious to adj
NIT"

beyond Sokolniki Park III the village of Bogo-

Knigh0 rubber factory which manufactures
rubbers Seventy-five thousand pairs of rubbers
are turned out every day at the plant. Last
year the total volume Of production was 18,o0O,
900 pairs For 1882 the goal is 2500o,0oo; for
the first quarter of the year the workers have
surpassed their plan.
Every process in making the rubbers, from
mixing the chemical compound from which they
are made to painting and lining the finished
product is done at the factory
Formerly owned by foreign cohcessionaire,
the factory has been in the hands of the Soviet
Government since the Revolution. Under it's
former owners 14-16 hour day was not unu-
sual. Today there are three seven-hour shifts
and in departments like the chemical section
there is a still shorter day. Workers in this
department where the work is considered I'M
healthful, are given quart of milk to drink
every day to offset the posons in the chem
icals they handle. In all departments there
are frequent 1O-minute rest periods.
All Needs Met
All the social needs of a workers life are met
by this typical Soviet factory. He works. eats
and studies there. His home is nearby. His
children are in the nursery kindergarten or
school maintained by the plant He himself
may attend the factory school combine which
may carry him from his ABCs to an engi-
neering education if he desires. His recrea--
tional needs are met by the factory library,
club and theater. When he is i'll, there are the
factory doctors and the dispensary.
Let us take, fer example, Sasha and Marusia,
arrived not very long ago from the village
to work in Krassny Bogatyr, both Of them I'M
skilled laborers. Sasha is now earning 40
rubles month. He is taking a technical
course at the factory school, however and soon
will be able to join the ranks of the skilled
workers when he will be able substantially to
increase his wages.
Marusia earns 100 rubles and has in addition
a special supplement while she is nursing her
baby. The baby is two months old and she
has just returned to the factory after a four
month leave of absence. While she was away
her full wages we're paid and when the baby
was born she was presented with a complete

How They Live.
The couple pay IL rubles a. month for their
room and four rubles for the baby in the factory

for their "three-year-old,' who gets two hot
meals day at the kindergarten. Their own
meals they take at the factory, for which they
each pay 25 rubles month.
