ROAD WORK WILL
PROBABLY STOP
FOR THE WINTER
Employees Will Remain At
Construction Camp
on Rock Greek

No road work has been going on
for the past week on the highway
route south of Red Lodge, and the
onset of severe weather might
cause a shutdown by the Morr;-
on-Knudsen company. All ma
chinery has been pulled into camp
and is undergoing repairs.
No further work is to be car
ried out on the states section of
the Red Lodge-C Cooke road, and a
complete grade has been built on
the national forest section. There
may be some action by the crews
on section G. next week, unless
frost has penetrated too deeply
into the soil and rock.
1t is planned 10 keep the road
open between Red Lodge and the
road camp this winter, as many
members of the NIX colony will
remain at the camp through the
cold months. The route can be
kept clear without much plough
ing, as snow does not usually pile
up very deep in the Rock Greek
canyon. The new grade of the
road, moreover, is elevated at
places where drifts used to block
the trail.

AGRICULTURE HAS
HOPES FOR 1888
More Stable Business and
Stock Reductions May
Help Farmer

Washington. Dec. 27.-(AP)-
With a background of more stable
business, with some assurance
that farm commodity stocks will
be reduced, and with hopes for
help in the form of new legisla-
ton, farm leaders view 1888 with
a degree Of optimism.
Arthur N. Hyde, secretary of
agriculture, reported to President
Hoover that establishments and a
changing outlook at home and
abroad yer providing a basis for
an improvement in the demand for
agricultural products; and that
while they had not yet greatly
bettered the farmers position
there were many indications that
material increase in the income
from agriculture would occur with
in the next few years.
DR.. o. c. Slime, principal agri-
cultural economist in charge of
the division of statistical and his
torical research, complemented the
secretary with the prediction that
farm markets one day would sud-
denly become aware that a greatly
improved business situation had
been quietly built up under them.
Some economists predict that
hogs will be relatively cheap for
another year, that cattle are like
ly to be cheap another A or 5
years before an upturn and that
sheep and lambs, now more plenti-
full on farms than for years, prob
ably will be low for another year.
Poultry is the only important farm
commodity that is bringing as
much as it did before the world
war.
Thomas D. Campbell of Hardin,
Mont, worlds biggest wheat
farmer" predicted 'the end of 20
cent wheat" on American farms
by the advent of the next harvest.

WAVE
IS NOT WRULENT
IN THIS COUNTY
Many Cases Reported But
Few Serious Illnesses
In the County

Influenza, which had reached
the epidemic stage in the county
this week, has not been a menace
to life, according to DR.. E. M.
Adams, county health officer. AL
though serious epidemics have
been reported from other sections,
the prevalent disease here has
been a mild form of "flu."
In the Red Lodge area, 200
cases of influenza have been
brought to the attention of physi-
clans during the past month, and
many people have suffered to a
slight extent, but have not report
ed the cases. The malady has
been appearing in a mild form
somewhat like severe colds or at
tacks of the grippe-and no ma
lignant cases have been observed,
said DR.. Adams.
The recent snowfall may have
helped to prevent a further spread
of illness, by keeping down the
dust, which is a possible carrier
of influenza germs. For the most
part however, influenza is trans
mitted by personal contacts, and
the observation of personal n.y.
giene in the care of flu-stricken
people is the best precaution
against it.
Influenza seems to come and go
in waves, according to records of
physicians, and the indications are
that the present wave of the dis
ease is now receding.

PASSES IN EAST
Formerly Resided Here and
At Helena; Buried at
Arlington

Edward L. Dickinson, 88, vet
eran of the Civil war, passed away
at National Soldiers home near
Hampton, Va, December II. He
was the father of Mrs. o. H. Z.
Shelley and Miss Mary K. Dickin-
sol. A granddaughter, Helen May

years in Red Lodge, making his
home with his daughter and son.

Shelley. In January, 1929, when
the family moved to Washington
on account of Mr.. Shelley's work
before congress in connection with
the Red Lodge-Cooke road, Mr..
Dickinson went to Washington
and had made his home with his
daughters until his failing health
in 1881 made it necessary for him
to have hospital care. He spent
six months of this year in Wash
ington with his daughters and re
turned to Virginia in October.
They were with him when he
passed away.

narrow escapes. He took part in
the battle of Gettysburg and was
taken prisoner on the first day of
the battle, July /, 1868. He was
held by the Confederates at Libby
prison on the James river for
nearly three months, when he was

he later was commissioned first
lieutenant and was mustered out
with this rank.
Mr.. Dickinson witnessed the
surrender of General Lee to Cen

son left his native state and inn
migrated to Montana. He settled
in Virginia City and was married

whose parents, William and Ellen
