illness.
Despite the fact that he had
been under the weather for some
time, Mr.. Tanner carried on until
Jan. Gust five weeks to a day
before his death-which was the
date of his last visit to his Office.
Since that time he had been con-
fined to his bed. His eyesight,
which had been troubling him
several weeks, failed entirely. At
first it was thought this afflic-
ton was due to his teeth, which
were in bad condition, but a later
diagnosis after his removal to
Billings disclosed that he was suf-
fering from Bright's disease in an
advanced stage, complicated with
the teeth ailment, and despite the
most skillful medical attention
and nursing, he failed to respond
to treatment. When the end came
his wife and eldest daughter, Miss
LaVerna, and his brother, FIRE.

services were held Tuesday after
noon at 2:30 at the Congregation

a member more than 20 years.

BIG HORN COUNTY WILL
HAVE A COUNTY AGENT
County Dads So Decide, Monday
Ask Extension Agent To
Select One.

Commencing next Monday, a
county extension agent will begin
his labors in Big Horn county, and
will have charge Of all allotment
programs, the fighting Of the
theatened grasshopper infestation,
and all other activities with which
a regularly employed county agent
is charged.
The board of county commits
sioners has for the past couple OF
months or more been beseiged by
delegations from all sections of
the county, urging that a county
agent be appointed, and at a
meeting of the board on Monday,
at which J. C. Taylor, director of
the extension service at Montana
State College at Bozeman, was
present, it was decided to employ
an agent and Director Taylor was
authorized to select a suitable
man for the position, he to begin
work the first of next week.
The expense incident to the
employment of a county agent will
be borne almost entirely by the
federal government and the corn
hog, wheat and other allotment
programs.
AT the time of going to press
Thursday evening, no word had
been received from Director j. c.
Taylor as to whom he has selected
for the position, but the county
commissioners doubtless will be
informed within the next day or
two.
An emergency agricultural
agent in the person of D. G.
Jones was sent to Hardin last fall
to direct the wheat allotment
program, but he was here only
about three months and was TAX
en- from this county before the
allotment program was entirely
completed. Had this county been
under the direction of a county
agent from the beginning of the
program, doubtless a considerable
saving could have been made.

ent plans the dam construction
would cost 81. 000,0 900, power de-
velopment approximately $8,000,-
900 and irrigation canals and
bitches more than 81, SOC, 000.
The project would be located on
the Crow reservation near Hardin
on the Big Horn river, largest
tributary to the Missouri river
basin.
The proposed dam would be 500
feet high and would form a lake
60 miles long impounding 1,0OO,-
600 acre feet OF water to irrigate
100000 acres. Power development
proposed would generate 100, 900
horse power.
DR.. Labbitt said the project
would be 100 per cent federal I'M
der present plans and entirely on
Indian Land for Indian benefit. He
said it would make the Crow ma
ton self-sustaining and greatly in
crease the value Of their lands.
The entire project and program
was presented to the public works
board Thursday and will be dis
cussed next week with the Mis-
S1Sstppi river commission.
