not been decided on. A6r. SeweH sug-
gested assistance from Miles City, as
there were two routes under considera-

The present route was decided up0n,
although 1t meant the building Of i've
large bridges over the Yellowstone river.
One to get over here and another 70

alton meant over $40 per capita for an
the residents Of Miles City. Some objee-
lions were made; houses we're on this
land and had to be bought: one man
who owned home wanted about three
times its value, and the committee had
to resort to the courts to establish a
fair price for 1t.
The railroad was built and in 1907
the first train came In. A round house
and division point was established ia
Miles City, with work shops, etc. The
population Of Miles City increased fn
numbers many fold. Hundreds q
houses were built.
Arthur Baker was chief engineer In
establishing the route, and moved 10
Miles City with his family. He recently
died IN California. he was very fair
to the railroad company and he was q
friend of Miles City.
The railroad has at all times been
friendly to Miles City in helping IN
every way it could The result was q
wonderful increase in population, and
1t made the city Of much Importance IA

much credit Is due the promoters in

AURORA HILLS, Va, May IL
Charging that residents are being sub
jected to the indignity of having un-
slightly buildings erected Immediately
in front of them, the Jefferson Civic
League decided to call a mass meet
ing within the next two weeks as the
first move toward ef1ecting changes
in the coming ordinance, which will
eliminate such buildings.
The Aurora Hills and Virginia High
lands communities are separated from
the jefferson Davis Highway by a
narrow strip of land that is zoned
light industrial. it was pointed out,
and as a result there have been tourist
camps and other buildings erected
which it is claimed are damaging to
property values.
An effort failed at the last meet
ing to have county authorities inform
association officials as to how to ne
gate applications for permits to build
Objectionable structures. County Man
ager Roy S. Braden said that under
the present zoning ordinance his office
is forced to issue permits for many
buildings to which it objects.
The Zoning Committee, headed by
Roy Miller, and a new Sanitation
Committee, composed OF Mrs. Russell
c. Engbert, chairman; Mrs. w. s..
Pitts and Mrs. Dorney, were instruct
ed to gather all available materiol for
presentation at the mass meeting.

NOTES FROM RELIEF OFFICE
Those Eligible To Receive
Surplus Commodities

Families who are the recipients
of relief, either work or direct, are
eligible to receive surplus commod-
tiles.
Up to the present time pension
groups, such as the blind, mothers
aid, soldiers, etc., where the pen
sion was inadequate, have been eli
gible for surplus commodities. Due
to the fact that the quantity Of fed
eral surplus commodities received
by the state is considerably less
than it has been in the past, these
groups will not be eligible at this
time for surplus commodities.

Where in this lesson is demon
