FOREST RULE IN
EFFECT JULY 1ST
Travellers Must Garry Axe
and Shovel; Teeth
In Fire Laws

After July /, a common ques-
ton asked by Beartooth rangers
of travellers by auto or pack train
will be "Have you got your fire
tools ?" meaning that the safety
ruling requiring all parties to
carry a shovel, an X and a buck
ct in the national forests will be
in force. The ruling applies to all
national forest regions in Montana,
northern Idaho and eastern Wash
ington.
Because some people, both
dudes and natives, do not under
stand just why they must be so
equipped in the forest regions,
the use of the tools was explained
by Warren Akers, Beartooth rang
err, who announced the ruling here
on notification from the regional
office.
"In many cases persons travel
ling over forest roads have been
able to put out fires which were
small enough to be handled by
quick action on the part of a few
persons equipped with these TOOLS"
he said. "Dirt is thrown on the
flames with a shovel. Where water
is available, a bucketful often
turns the trick. The ak is handy
for trimming out brush and small
trees in proximity to the flames.
Gwen if such a fire emergency
never arises, the tools Ire useful
about camp. The shovel is used to
make a safe place for the camp
fire, and in putting it out before
leaving. And both shovel and ak
come in handy in case a car gets
off the road or into a soft spot"
A new cutting edge has been
added to the regulations pertain
ing to fire in the national forests,
permitting the war against man.

HIGHWAY ACTION
WELL UNDER Way
ON THE SUBMITS
Contractors of Unit B Are
In Action at Three
Locations

On the 25-mile length of the
Red Lodge-C Cooke highway that ex.
tends from Twin lakes to the
Clark's Fork, under contract by
McNutt & Pyle, road crews are
working on three segments, one
near the river, one at the Muddy
Creek camp, and one above Long
lake, where the construction camp
recently was opened for action.
Two of McNutt's power shovels
have gone to work on the big hill
above Long lake, where the route
spirals up from the lake to its
highest altitude on the Line Greek
plateau. Work commenced where
the shovels stopped when the
frost set in last winter, one on the
pitch above the lake, the other on
the plateau top near the Gardiner
lake basin. Drillers and powder
men are at work on the big gran
tie boulders that are scattered
thickly in that section.

COURT REFUSES
0LE|NIk CLAIM
Attempt to Stop Progress
On Bearcreek -Belfry
Road Fails

A lawsuit against Carbon coun-
ty, to prevent the building of the
new Bearcreek- Belfry road across
land claimed by Miss Oakla L.
Oleinik, was dismissed after a
hearing in the district court Tues
day, before Judge 0. F. Goddard,
who issued two divorce DEGREES
during the session, heard the OPP
ening of another water dispute,
and considered a number Of pro
bate cases.
Last year the county started
condemnation proceedings against
Jacob Oleinik, for a strip of land
near the Montana, Wyoming &
Southern railway, for the pur-
poses of the new county highway.
The condemnation action was
dropped when it was discovered
that the land in question was not
the property of Oleinik, but be-
longed to the railway.
Subsequently, a 60-foot wide
strip, approximately in the center
of the new four-mile route, was
decided to the county by the rail-
way. Last week, Miss Oleinik
filed a complaint in the district
court, claiming that the land sold
by the railway was not included in
the right-of-way of the M. w. & S.
A restraining order against fur
Their work on the highway at the
point, and damages for that al
ready accomplished to the alleged
detriment of the farm land, were
sought.
Frank II. Bowman, county sur
veyor, and John Albert, named in
the complaint as foreman of the
road construction, testified in the
county's defense. The court de-
cided that there were insufficient
grounds to support the Oleinik
case.
Work on the Bearcreek-B elfry
highway is nov going on as before.
Twenty men are on the job, with
a power shovel and two trucks. 1t
is expected that the road, which
follows the railroad from Bear
creek to Belfry, will be completed
this year.

wheat PROSPECT.
IS NOT CHEERFUL
Dry Land Crops Not More
Than 80 Percent As
Price Rises

News of the highest wheat
prices in three years sounded
good to some dry land growers in
Carbon county, to others not so
good. With crops in this county
estimated at from 10 to so per
cent normal, the price of the
staff of life" came back Monday
from the all time low Of At cents,
to one dollar, the dollar sales be-
ing reported from Fort Worth,
Tex.
Prices at local elevators this
week were more than 70 cents,
with futures quoted between so
cents and a dollar at Chicago.
SURPRISES in this region were re-
ported as large at the present
time, with the higher prices tend
ing to bring the grain out OF
storage bins on the farms.
An unusually warm and windy
June has done its worst to dry
land crops on both benches.
Wheat growers on the west side
estimate their crops at from 80 to
so per cent unless more rain is
had soon. The single shower OF
the month, June 81, brought ga
inches of moisture, according to
records of l. A. Draper, but that
rain was hardly more than a
freshener to crops already stunt
ed and burned.
Alfalfa on the west side is said
to be normal at this time, al
though the timothy crop is likely
to be a complete failure, and peas
have been hard to grow. Most pea
crops were irrigated up, and dur
ing the earlier part of the month
some seeding of canning peas was
suspended on account of the heat,
No rain fell this month around
Roberts or on the region to the
southwest, and wheat was still
burning this week. Spring wheat
at this time is estimated at not
more than 10 per cent. Winter
wheat is fairly well headed out,
but there is little of it. On the
dry land near Roberts, most of the
alfalfa is a loss, but the crop is
heavy on the irrigated sections.
The brightest spot for wheat
growers is in the Elbow district
on the east side, where some crops
still have a chance, especially II
they are favored with some rain
in the near future.
