Sections or Sheridan county re-
celved drenching rains over the
weekend, which in the Archer and
Redstone vicinities reached proper.
tons of a cloud burst.
Plentywood received but little pre-
cipitation- Heavy clouds which
dumped sheets of rain in the west
section of the county Friday night
and Saturday morning went over
Plentywood apparently empty.
The storm which broke Saturday
afternoon took a nOrtheasterly direc.
ton a few miles west of here and
gave the 500 line country a good
soaking.
Hail fell In the Raymond, Outlook,
Redstone and Archer country, but
did no damage. A high wind accom-
panied the dOwnpour.
Friday evening some rain fell in
the south part of the county. The
Reserve vicinity also received a wet,
ting.
Fields between Archer and Red
stone were under water Saturday
evening. The heavy rain which was
OF short duration was described by
one farmer as coming down practic.
ally III sheets.
Along Eagle Creek near RedstOne,
hail lay four inches deep. They were
small.
Farmers in that country stated
they believed Saturdays drenching
was the hardest rain they had ever
witnessed In Montana.
In places water had flooded fields
to such an extent that farmers were
forced to dig drainage bitches to
let the water escape, In an effort to
save the gran from being drowned
out.
Several fields were badly washed
but it is believed that they were not
damaged to any great extent. The
hail did little damage to gardens.
Greeks and sloughs in all sections
Of the county west and north of
lPlentywood r full OF water. AT
the height of the torrent, water ran
down coulees in the Archer vicinity,
sweeping everything in its path.
Water ran over the highway near
Archer. Communication lines on
the Great Northern railway were
down following the storm and were
out Of commission until Monday.
Power and light service was in
t%errupted along the branch line Fri
day night. An electric storm re-
ported near Sidney was the cause of
the towns being in darkness. Plen-
tywood was without lights until 2
p. I'M. Saturday.
Crop prospects in all Sheridan
county are good. Although rain is
needed in some sections, continued
cool weather and a fair amount of
s~ub-moisture from previous rains has
aided growing grains considerably.
1t is believed that crops in the
Raymond and Outlook country pre-
sent the best stands. That territory
received early spring rains which
sighted other sections Of the county,

ASK CITY COUNCIL
FOR OILED Streets

Petitions signed by property own
ers were presented to the city coun-
Gil at the regular meeting Monday
night asking that the city designate
three blocks on main street as a
special Improvement district and
that steps be taken to have the
street oiled at the time the highway
(which runs through the city is oiled
by the state.
The property owners on the petit
tons expressed willingness to
shoulder the cost of the oiling pro-
ject by a tax, payable over a period
of ten years.
Practically all owners of lots on
main street signed the petitions.
The city council is taking the mat
ter under advisement. Scott p.
Hart, state highway engineer is in
the city today for the purpose Of Civ
ing estimates on the cost of the pro-
ject.
A special meeting of the city coun-
cil will be held Monday night at
which time the city dads will either
reject or approve the proposal.
According to rough estimates 1t has
been determined that the cost OF oil
ing would be approximately $50 for
each Is #. loot.
Bonds would be issued. 1t is ex-
lpalined by those most interested in
getting the street improved that
with a tax levied and payable over
a period of years, the oiling could be
completed without lump sum cost to
owners OF lots in the proposed oil
ing district.
The state highway department
contemplates oiling the road through
Plentywood this summer. The con
tract has been let and work was ex-
pected to start this month but delay
has resulted.
