Work on CWA projects in the

lations OF national director Harry

Spaulding.
In Sheridan county the quota OF

jects had been reduced to 1875. The
pay was set at SO cents an hour
for common labor.
All projects on which work mas
been resumed held their same des-

part, the program was only 4 con-

a few new ones. however. These

City Real Estate Will Be
Assessed By Officers
Personally

County assessor Chris Christen-
sen has had his office force busy
the past few weeks getting ready
to start the new assessment year,
which begins March s..
Chris said he had decided to use
the same method as In 1898 in TAX
ing assessments on all farm pro-
perty. Under the law the assessor
must use the same valuation for
the 1894 assessment on all real
property as that used in 1888, ex-
cept where new improvements have
been made or some have been de-
stroyed. For this reason 1t was
considered the honor system might
as well be used again this year,
there being considerable less ex-
pense in taking assessments under
this method.
On March 5, or soon thereafter,
all persons having farm real estate
or personal property on the farm
will receive an assessment list ito
be filled out and returned to the
Assessors office. 1t should be re.
turned within 10 days from the
time received.
The assessor urges that every
person receiving an assessment list
should read all the instructions

Game Birds Live Safely
Through Hard Winter

The game birds of this section OF
the country have survived the
weather conditions and deep SHOWS
which covered this part of Montana
and North Dakota the past several
months, according to deputy game
warden E. M. KrOst.
A survey OF the local game war
denis territory and reports from
all sections disclose that there has
been practically no loss of wild
bird life outside of the regular or
binary death rate.
The wild birds are now feeding
on the open range and seem to be
In a very healthy condition. They
have left feed lots, where they
were forced to go by the deep snow
and are now feeding In their nat

FORTUNA HUNTERS
BAG 1000 RABBITS

The boys at Fortuna sure know
their rabbits. In a drive conducted
near their city Sunday they bagged
1000 rabbits and three coyotes. No
guns were used In the drive, but the
hunters drove the rabbits in a large
corral with the use OF clubs. 1t is
estimated that as square miles was
covered by the drive In which near
ly 500 men and boys took part.
Fur buyers from various cities In
western North Dakota eagerly await
ed the close of the drive to do their
bidding for the rabbit pelts. During
the drive the hunters reported that
nine additional coyotes escaped be-
tween the lines.
A week ago Sunday a smaller
crowd OF hunters brought IN 2,280
rabbits In the same vicinity. The
proceeds OF the sale OF the rabbits
will be turned over TO the city oil
Fortuna TO be used for poor relief.

right to represent the district al

The game was a thriller from
start to finish and had the fans
completely worn out mentally and
physically when the final gun

windup to one of the hardest
fought and most interesting tour
naments held In this region. Mark
ed by surprising upsets throughout
the three days of play, the tourney
had the fans guessing until the last
minute of play.
Scobey started the scoring by
sinking a field goal in the first few
minutes Of play. This wa quickly
followed by another which put the
purple and white in the lead with
four points. R%einertson finally

Zeidler came back with a neat set
shot to tie the score in the begin

thereon the lead seesawed back and

more than three points at one time.
In the second quarter Larson for
Scobey warmed up and sank two
beautiful throws from the center of

Deliberate basketball plus un.

The seasons record doesn't
amount to much In tournament
play. Whitehall hadn't won a game

Scobey had won but four games
before they came to the tourney
Dooley had trimmed Flaxville bad
ly a week before the Examinations
and Outlook had won two games

There was a marked improve
ment In the manner in which all
teams made their free throws.
Ekstadt of Dooley was the tour
ney hero when with the game over
and his team on the short end OF
the score, he made the free throw
that tied the game.
The poppy music furnished by
the various bands added a real
touch to the tourney games.
Bigger crowds were present than

Hope which may have risen In the
breasts OF northwest farmers lately

'Hoppers hopping about at this

do nothing toward control OF the

In many sections large numbers

Such a situation is not unusual.
The species Is different from the
type which normally matches In

Grasshoppers which ravage this
country are incased In well protect

These hopper eggs, Munro made
clear, are protected from even the
most eve weather. Freezing

However, when the warming days
of late May and June arrive, the
eggs begin to hatch. After Matching
adverse climatic and soil conditions
have their greatest influence. A

CORN.HOG Meetings
over sheridan CO.
Will Explain Workings of
Program to Interested
Farmers

While not many farmers in Sher-
idan county would not be in a po-
sition to take advantage OF the
Corn-Hog program. inasmuch as
agriculture here does not run heav-
lily to corn " hog production. new
ertheless, there have been a consid-
cradle number during the last few
weeks who have expressed a desire
to be further informed.
In order to bring the informa-
ton to farmers first hand, arrange
ments have been made to have Mr..
Tootell from the State Extension
service, hold a series of meetings
In the county from the 7th to the
10th Of March, inclusive. Arrange
ments for the speakers services
were made through cooperation OF
the county commissioners and
wheat production association.
All those who are interested In
combining two or more Allotment
units into one should by all means
attend one Of these meetings. The
first part of each program will deal
with the wheat program, while the
latter half will be gwen over to the
Corn-Hog plan.
"A schedule Of eight meetings has
been arranged. The first Of these
will be held at Redsfone Wednes-
day, March Z. at 2 p. m. Plenty
wood will get a meeting the sans
evening at 7.30. Thursday, the
sth, meetings will be held at Out
look at 2 p. m. and Dooley at 1870.
The same schedule will be observed
at McElroy and Coalridge Friday,
and on Saturday meetings will be
held in Dagmar at 900 p. m. and
in Medicine Lake at 1880.
An opportunity will be afforded
at these meetings for farmers In.
terested in the program to ask
questions and learn all the details
OF how 1t will work to their inter-
ests. And with meetings held In
different parts of the county, no
farmer seeking information should
fail to avail himself Of the oppor-
tunity in receiving 1t.
