80, POUNDS TURKEYS
SHIPPED O E

More than 10000 pounds of dressed
turkeys consigned for Chicago Christ
markets were loaded here the first Of
the week and billed out Tuesday. The
shipment was handled by j. l.. Sorem.
The birds were in better condition
than those shipped for the Thanksgiv-
ing market. The birds, shipped by
freight, will reach Chicago Friday.
Growers will get checks in about eight
days Mr.. Sorem said.
Lois Marsh, of Plentywood, was the
biggest individual shipper, loading
1873 gross pounds of birds. Rudy Pa
lutzke of near Plentywood shipped
1,025 pounds, Oscar Wagnild 92s
pounds, Mrs. Seth Folsom Of Antelope
719 pounds.
Farmers living south of Flaxville
came to Plentywood and loaded APP
proximately 5000 pounds of dressed
birds.
The Farmers Union shipped turkeys
from Westby Tuesday and the North
west Turkey Growers association will
load turkeys here tomorrow.
Turkey shipments from Sheridan
county have so far exceeded expecta-
tons. Earlier in the year it was re-
ported that fewer birds were in the
county.

BIDS ON
ROAD WEST OF HERE

Bids on the FREDERICKSBURG
road in Shridan county have again
been rejected by the state highway
commission it was learned here last
week end after word was received
here that the bid submitted by Nc
Mutt Bros, of Eugene, Oregon, had
been accepted.
The project, as well as two other
rejected projects will come before the
highway board next Friday.
The McNutt bid was disqualified on
the grounds of being excessive. High
way engineers estimate that the cost
of the construction, which is approx
mately IL miles should be about $751;
900. In November, when the project
came up for letting the LaLonde Con-
struction company bid 1922 900. 1t was
rejected for being above the 10 per-
cent margin allowed by the commits
sion. The McNutt bid was $4,000,
however, it was then believed that adj
ditional road would be constructed in
the bid submitted by the Oregon con-
tractors.

ELECTION TO COST
TAXPAYERS LESS

The 1886 election should cost Mon
tana taxpayers at least 10 percent less
than the 1882 election according to
estimates of the Montana Taxpayers
association, based on replies received
from county clerks.
The reduction will be brought
about in two ways. By the consolida-
ton of election precincts, providing
action is not taken in a general cleo
ton year between Jan. l and election
day by reduction in the number OF
hours for keeping polls open in pre-
cincts having less than 100 voters.
The 1885 legislature passed an act
providing that polls should be open
only from ! p. m. to 6 p. m. in the
smaller precincts. The two measures
should reduce the cost of election in
the state more than 100000.
Sheridan county and several other
counties have already taken action in
cutting the number of precincts.
In the last election Sheridan county
cut the number of precincts from 30
to % and judicial districts were low
cred from eight to four.
According to the Taxpayers bulle-
lin there were 1895 registered voters
in Sheridan county in 1882. Each pre-
cinct averaged III voters. The total
cost of the 1882 election in this county
was $4,870 or a tax cost per voter OF
1.29. Fourteen Montana counties had
higher election costs than Sheridan
county and 20 counties approximately
the same total cost.

First Estimate of Quarter
Million Falls By
Wayside

An estimate that November tax COL
~lections in Sheridan county would be
approximately a quarter of a million
dollars was shattered this week with
information from a preliminary ac-
counting from the treasurer's office
that receipts will total in excess of
$4,000. The payment is the biggest
in many years.
With the emergency law cancelling
penalty and interest on delinquent
taxes out Dec. l taxpayers wherever
possible poured money into the
tvs Golfers.
1t will be several weeks before a
complete check-up on money re-
ceived will be reached county treas
urer Paul Kurtz said Wednesday.
Temporary receipts were issued pay
ers at the paying window and regular
receipts are now being mailed by the
office force.
Mr.. Kurtz stated hat when the job
is completed 10000 delinquent tax re-
ceipts will have been written.
1t is estimated hat S35 5000 was re-
ceived here in Federal Landbank
loan checks in the November pay
ment.
Approximately $4,000 in allotment
checks came to the county t%reasurers
office.
Mr.. Kurt said that a warrant call
would be issued early in January and
that SOL 600 in outstanding bonds
against Sheridan county would also
be retired. The bonds are an issue
past due and are the total amount now
delinquent since the exchange for a
new issue. When the new bond issue
was made the SCI 900 past due was
given preference in the first call.

In the most hotly contested game Of
the season, Plentywood almost upset
Williston on the %latter's floor last Fri
day night.
The game was featured by close
guarding, fast breaking, accurate
passing, and brilliant Individual play
on the part of both teams. Williston
scored first on a free throw but Koike
broke through twice for two baskets
to put the Cats ahead Al, a lead
which they relinquished only once
before the last minute of play.
Williams, one hand shot, kept his
team in the running by scoring all OF
the field goals for his side in the first
half, but failed to tally in the second
half as Zeidler solved his play. The
score at the half was 1879 for Plenty
wood.
The game specialized in set up shots
neither team desiring to relinquisf
the ball by trying long shots. Kohl
