carried we'll over the edge of the
Rock Creek canyon.
A report this morning from the
road camp said that the foremost
power shovel climbed over onto

shovel, with bulldozers and scrap
ers, now is rapidly pushing its

Red Lo~dge-Cooke highway section
now under construction by the
Morrison-Knudsen company, said
Mr.. Mulvaney.
Mr.. Lynch said the Bureau is
likely to let the contract on Unit
C, the 5.3 miles north of the NIX
contract, this fall.
1t was also thought likely that
the $40 miles of highway between
the north end of Unit c and Red
Lodge would be placed under con-
tract this fall. OF this stretch,
the state highway department is
to build the first 4.3 miles from
Red Lodge south to the national
forest boundary (near Piney Dell).
The Forestry department, with
federal aid funds, is to build the
remaining 4.3 miles between the
boundary and the federal route
that takes up near Richel lodge.
The state commission plans to
let a contract on it's 4.3 miles in
September, said Mr.. Mulvaney,
who quoted Nh. Lynch as saying
that the Forestry department
would probably start action on
its section this summer.

Mrs. c.. L. Kent
In Flooded Land
Trip From Monroe to Lake Charles,
louisiana, Took Two Days
and One Night

Mrs. Howard Wilcox, Of this city,
recently received a letter from Mrs.
c. L. Kent, who is well known here
and has resided in Sank Centre
during the summer months for
several years, telling of conditions
Of the flooded area of the state of
louisiana.
Mrs. Kent spent the winter at
Monroe, louisiana, which is in the
flooded district, and she remained
there until conditions became such
that she was forced to move.
A week ago she left for Lake
Charles louisiana, and the trip
which ordinarily takes about six
hours, was made in two days and
one night. All the railroads in
that community are under water.
She states In her letter that I'M
less a person can view the disas-
trous results caused by the flood,
they have no idea Of the terrible
condition and suffering Of the pop
ulace. Over 1000 people are being
cared for and fed by the Red Cross
each day. Mrs. Kent has been
spending the winter In the south
land visiting with relatives.

Reduced 100000
Levy Was Made Before Taxpayers
Association Came Into Exis-
tence-MOney Outside

While at the court house Friday
afternoon the Herald editor enjoyed
a visit with County Highway Engi-
neer M. ]. Cleveland, formerly of
this city.
In discussing plans for road con-
struction for 1882, Mr.. Cleveland
said that months ago it was decid-
ed to reduce the county highway
levy in 1882 from $175,0O0 to 5000.
This reduction was actually made
before the Taxpayers Association
was organized. This does not mean
that there will not be any county
highway construction work done
this year.
The county will receive $4,000
for state aid roads under the Dunn
one mill tax act passed years ago.
To receive this money the county
must match the sum dollar for dol
lar. In spite Of the county's OPP
portunity to receive this tidy sum
there is an active agitation among
some of the taxpayers association
leaders to not raise any funds for
highway work in 1882 and to dis
pose Of the equipment. About $780,
600 will come into the county as its
share Of the gas tax With the
$4,000 levied by the county, $780,
600 coming under the Dunn act and
$4,000 gas tax, making total Of
$135, 900 for highway work, Engi-
neer Cleveland estimates 1t will
take Is per cent Of the amount to
properly maintain the county and
state highways already built.
The highway money has been ju-
diciously expended in past years by
the county commissioners and
Highway Commissioner Cleveland.
There is every reason to expect
that it will continue to be spent in
that manner. Every section Of the
county is clamoring for better high
ways and the Herald Is convinced
it is economy to build them.
When Mr.. Cleveland was talking
to the Herald editor he did not
know he was talking for publica-
ton.

SURVEYING HIGHWAY

A group Of highway engineers
will open headquarters in this city
within a short time. They viii
spend the next several months in
making a survey Of Highway No. 4,
south of this city. The highway
at present runs through Metre
Grove and Greenwald but 1t has
never formally been taken over by
the Highway Department. Under
the state constitution the road
must touch both Sank Centre and
Paynesville. Several miles can be
saved between this city and Will
mar by routing the highway direct
ly south of this city and connect
ing with Paynesville by a loop. 1t
is understood that several lines viii
be run but there is not any prob
ability that actual construction
work viii be started in 1882.

S. C. High Basketball Qnint
Defeats MeIr0se, old RU0Ls

Prairie game because of q bad
ankle, was in his regular place at
forward, but Sieben was injected
into play in the place Of Domke as
guard, later going to the forward
position when Ham" was out Of
the game after committing four
personal fouls. This, by the way,
was the only time in .Ham's"
basketball career that he was
compelled to retire from the game
on fouls.
Referee Lembke was calling
them terrifically close, using both
teams alike, however.
Melrose scored five points in a
hurry negotiating a free throw
and two baskets. A moment later
Sank Centre entered the picture
Sieben was awarded a couple of
free shots at the basket. He miss
ed the first one and scored on the
second. At this point Wilfred Het-
eel, a pretty fair writer of basket
ball stories IL he could ever see
any team but Melrose, remarked
to Scorer Tom: "well, we cant shut
Sank Centre out anyway" The
quarter ended Melrose leading 5-3
In the second period the locals be-
gan to function and were leading
at the half post I'LL. They were
not headed after that.
From a basketball standpoint
the game was not as good as the one
played with Long Prairie. Possibly
the close refereeing had something
to do with that. Then, too, both
teams play the same style of
game.
While the game was hard fought
there wasn't any unnecessary
roughness and the Melrose team
and fans took the defeat sports
manlike.
AS the teams lined up Friday
evening the best team won.
Sieben, the substitute guard and
forward for Sank Centre, probably
played the best game on the floor

TO THE BUSINESS MEN

For several years the business
men of Sank Centre have con-
tributed literally to support the
4-H Club work Of Stearns coun-
ty.
This money has been raised
through the Herald for a num-
Der of years. It viii soon be
time to start again.
Agents for the Farm Bureau
are working in the cities and
villages Of the county to enroll
the business men as associate
members.
The Herald hasn't any fight
with the Farm Bureau.
It is suggested, however, that
when a representative Of the
Farm Bureau calls on you to
become an associate member for
1882 that you keep the All Club
contribution in mind.
You know, through your a.
nancial assistance in the past
the All Club movement has de-
veloped into a growing, going
concern.
Your financial aid win be need
ed in the future.
