HIGHWAY WORK
APPROVED FOR
CARBON COUNTY
Commission Agrees To Oil
And Improve Rockville
Red Lodge Route

Route changes on the Rockville
Roberts highway, to eliminate
dangerous curves and railroad
crossings, construction of a new
bridge, and complete surfacing
and at least palliative oiling of
the highway from Rockville
through Red Lodge and south on
the Cooke highway route, have
been promised for 1884 by the
state highway commission, said
O. H. P. Shelley upon his return
Friday from Helena, where he
conferred with the commission.
Suggestions concerning the
state highway work in Carbon
county were made by letter to the
highway commission several weeks
ago by Mr.. Shelley. He was re-
quested to appear before the COM
mission with a definite outline of
the work necessary in this county,
and he laid before the commission
these recommendations:
Line changes on the Roberts
Rockville road as follows-road to
continue on the north and west
side of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, eliminating a railroad cross
ing and a bad curve northeast of
Joliet as well as a crossing and
bad curve south and west of Boyd.
A new bridge over Rock creek,
southwest of Joliet on the new
road, the present bridge being too
narrow and requiring rebuilding
in order to handle the traffic.
Moving the N. P. stockyards from
the Selmes siding to Roberts,
eliminating an rs" curve. Moving
telephone poles wherever neces-
sary. Complete grading, gravel
ling and oiling, with at least pal
liative oil, on the road from Rock
vale to Roberts during the work
ing season of 1884. Oiling of the
road from Roberts to Red Lodge,
and oiling of the 4.3 miles south
of Red Lodge to connect with sec
ton 59-A of the Red Lodge-Cooke
highway as soon as the weather
permits in 1894, the job to be COM
pleted during the 1884 working
season.
Reasons for the work as stated
were that the Roberts ockvale
road cannot be built in any other
manner than requested and still
comply with the industrial recov-
cry act, which provides for the
elimination of railroad crossings
and dangerous curves in the build
ing of roads. To build the road
otherwise than stated would not
be in keeping with the construc-
tion plan of the Red Lodge-C Cooke
road. Failing to oil the road from
Roberts to Red Lodge, and from
Red Lodge south, would be an
economic waste and an inconven-
fence to travel in 1885.
These directions we're submitted
by the Beartooth Boosters club
and the Red Lodge Business &
Professional club. The highway
commission last week approved
plans, and promised compliance
with them, said Mr.. Shelley. Con
tracts for the oiling are to be lei
before the next working season
opens.
The highway commission, in &C,
cordance with the suggestion, has
requested the Northern Pacific tx
move the stockyards from Selmes
to Roberts, pointing out the ad'
vantages of such a move, both tx
travellers and stock growers.

OPEN WINTER HOLDS
SWAY IN THIS AREA

More bad weather broke over
much of the United States on
New Years day-with the ex-
ception of the Red Lodge reg
ion, which continues in its
winterless state. Except for a
skiff of snow that lasted long
enough to provide a white
Christmas, the ground has re-
manned bare in these parts.
One of the few cold days in
December was the 26th, when
the mercury went to the low
est point of the month, 8. Two
days later 1t bounced back TO
81 degrees above zero, and
snow faded. On succeeding
days the temperature lowered
about the freezing mark.
The snowfall in December
totalled only eight inches, ac-
cording to /. A. Draper, wealth
err observer. The precipitation
recorded during the month was
.48 of an inch. Snowstorms
have been swirling about the
mountain tops for the past
month, and in the upper reaches
of the BeartO0ths it is said that
heavy snowfalls have been
noticed. There has been little
or no snow within IL miles of
Red Lodge in the West Fork
canyon, and in the Rock Creek
canyon, little snow has been
seen lower than Hellroaring
creek.

RELIEF AGENCY
GIVES SUMMARY
OF YEARS. WORK
More Than 1000 Benefited
BY Average Monthly Sum
Of $4,000

A check-up of the Carbon coun-
ty emergency relief activity shows
an average of $50 families en-
rolled per month with the Relief
agency, Or approximately 2,400
individuals. An average of 49,
900 per month has been expended
in the county for such relief, not
including the distribution of such
commodities as apples, pork and
flour.
These figures r stated in a
report that was issued this week
by the secretary of the relief COM
mittee.
A resume of the years activi-
ties under the direction of the Re
lief shows that all of the school
children of the entire county were
examined for physical defects
with the result that some 800 eye,
tonsil and dental cases were taken
care of at the expense of the re-
lief commission. There were also
five orthopedic cases which re-
ceived treatment.
Milk was furnished to under
weight children in the schools of
Bearcreek, Washoe and Red
Lodge, and to babies of families
on Relief, where it was requested,
throughout the county.
The committee members, J. p.
Plunkett, chairman; Fl. p. Cas-
sidy, treasurer; H. W. Russell,
secretary; t. f. Pollard and Alex
Fairgrieve, have given their time
generously and served entirely
without compensation of any kind,
many times defraying their own
travelling expenses to the various
regional and state meetings.
On November 20, the committee
was called to Billings to meet
with 7. c. Spaulding, state relief
director, and was informed that
Carbon county's ALLEGATION of men
for CWA work would be 612 men,
and that these men could be
placed on the payrolls, Friday,
December l, providing projects
were ready and approved.
The Carbon county committee
lost no time in going into execu-
tive session with the mayors Of
Incorporated towns and the Car
bon county commissioners, with
the result that % projects for
Carbon county were presented and
approved late that night before
the committee left for Billings.
Friday, December l, found the
majority of the 612 men at work,
earning their first cash money for
many months. The Carbon coun-
ty relief committee was the first
committee in the state to place all
its men on paying jobs. On De-
cember Ia, the first payroll of APP
proximately $1,000 was distrib-
uted in Carbon county, and this
has since grown to approximately
$4,000 on the last pay day, De-
cember 30.
1t is regrettable that there are
still so many unemployed men in
this and other counties, but the
Carbon county CWA committee
has presented many additional
projects which will take care Of
the unemployed men in this coun-
ty if the projects are approved,
and Carbon received an additional
allotment of men and funds.

RUSH
! To 861 FIRES

. When the fire department was
established in 1885, the first year
brought SO alarms. Since then
the increase has been steady.
During 1888, firemen answered
S6l alarms. Of these, 642 were
locals and 219 from boxes. Six
teen Of the locals were false and
"a from the boxes were in the
same category.
During 1888 the fire rescue
squad answered 281 telephone
calls. Automobiles were respon-
sible for 118 Of them. Chimneys
rated 70 calls, furnaces and hot
water coils So, trash and bush
80, and Christmas trees 7. Other
fires were on roofs, Easements
and radios.
Calls for aid from the fire de-
partment included burst pipes,
boilers, and similar accidents.
Washington has had 824 large
fires since 1885. According to
the records, fires occur generally
between ! a. m. and 2 a. m. and
p. m. and 8 p. m.
The only spectacular fire last

BETTER,
|. To IMPROVE,
!. SAYS SLOAN
By ALFRED p. SLOAN, JR.
President, General Motors
Corporation

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Irrespec-
live Of how we may react individ-
ually to the various economic
proposals Of the year, dramatic
as they have been and full Of
possibilities in their influence on
cur future, to my mind one fact
rises above the mass of conjec-
ture, theories and experiments
that we have before us.
That fact is, the world at large
has materially improved its posi-.
lion, and has been improving 1t
for over q year.
We are better off practically on
IN counts than we were 9 year
ego.
Bound to Gain Momentum
Naturally, this improvement
could not, in such a short interval
az time, be reflected throughout
cur entire economic structure.
That would be expecting too
much. But we must appreciate
that such a trend, having def.
nitely manifested itself, is bound
TO gain momentum as time passes.
We can manage our affairs 50
rs to accelerate or retard this
movement, but in the long run it
q bound to assert itself.
I referred to the proposals Of
khe year and their influence, In
an economic sense, on our future.
I have q very strong conviction
that all such proposals should be
intensively examined, without
prejudice and with an open mind;
that industry should cooperate
with Government, having the OBJ
jective Of perpetcating those
things that give promise Of i'm.
proving our social order and OF
eliminating those things that do
not appear to- give such promise.
Must Keep Open Mind
Experimentation can be con-
Quoted blindly or with an open
mind. an the same way reliance
upon past experience can be
blind or open minded. We are
living in an era characterized by
swift movements,-social as well
as economic. We must strive to
keep both an open mind and an
open heart.
# all do so, I am sure that we
shall preserve in a wholesome
sense the initiative, courage and
aggressivenesS Of the individual.
After all, it is these qualities
that have made this country what
it Is, with a standard OF living
that Is the envy of all other peo-
pies of tie world. These qualities
are not to be blindly exalted but
inteLigenly nourished.
