Waltonians Will Battle
Magpies With State Aid

Magpies, rodent birds which are
plentiful in Sheridan county are in
for a lot of trouble with announce
ment this week that the state fish
and game commission is taking nee
essary steps to exterminate the
pests.
John Iwen, district game warden,
who was in Plentywood Wednesday
stated that poison will be distributed
% various rod and gun clubs and IN
terested organizations for spreading
in an effort to exterminate the birds.
The game commission is interested
in the determination chiefly because
magpies are known to destroy eggs
of upland birds and waterfowl.
The P%lentywood chapter or the
Izaak Walton league will cooperate
with the state department in the bat
tie against the pests.
Mr.. Iwen said that several meth
DDS in spreading the poison are used
One method is to put the poison IN
tallow on a board in which holes
are drilled. The board is then hung
in a tree. The magpies go after the
tallow greedily.
Another method used is to put the
poison in a carcass of a rabbit and
hang It on a tree limb, out of reach
of other animals. One morsel by Mr.
Maybe and that is all.

ASK COUNTY FOR
BETTER ROADS

A delegation of farmers from An
telope and the Coalridge and Dagmar
communities appeared before the
board of county commissioners who
were in regular session Monday rela-
tvie to proposed road building prof.
ects in those communities.
The delegation asked for early
work on the road from Antelope con-
Meeting with the Coalridge road and
a stretch of road on the Coalridge
Dagmar system.
1t was learned that considerable
none has been raised in the com
munities to promote the work. In the
Antelope country, nearly $500 has
been subscribed as well as labor for
the construction. The other commu'
mites have also raised money.
The county commissioners assured
the delegations that just as soon as
weather will permit work and funds
are available the projects would be
given consideration. According to the
set-up Sheridan county would fur
nish machinery, some labor and buy
culverts. The majority of the labor
will be donated. Gasoline and oil
would be purchased by the cash
raised in the communities. The roads
will be considered as PWA projects
County commissioner Hunter il
whose district the two roads are 10
Gated, stated to he Herald that he
was highly pleased with the manner
in which the communities have gone
ahead and worked for better roads
The fine cooperation will bring re
suits, the commissioner said.

HIGHWAY WEST
LET BY BOARD

The state highway commission in
session at Helena Friday let 20 road
building contracts at more than a
million dollars cost in which was the
construction of the road from Plen-
tywood west.
The Sheridan county contract was
let to McNutt Bros, OF Eugene, Ore
gon for $99,5S6.44, for the IL miles
of road.
When actual work will start has
not yet been learned here. However,
at present surveys are being made
for bridge construction along the
route with state highway engineers
in charge.
Bid Above Estimates
The bid by the McNutt Bros. was
above engineers estimates as was
the bid submitted by the LAlonde
construction company about a month
ago and which was rejected.
Highway engineers estimated that
the road could be built for approx
mately $S1 900. In the November let
ting the Lalonde company submitted
a bid for $685. 1000. 1t was above the
10 percent allowance made by the
commission. The letting Friday
found the McNutt company bidding
the project at the $4,000 figure. 1t is
believed however. that they received
the contract through possible add
tional construction on the proposed
road. 1t is possible that the road will
be extended beyond the IL mile limit
in the McNutt contract figure.

Fog Hangs Over Sheridan
County the Past Week

A regular London "pea-souper' has
hung over Plentywood and parts of
Sheridan county for over a week.
Last Saturday night the fog was so
heavy that driving on the highways
was practically impossible. Almost
every night so far this week fog has
blanketed Plentywood. The fog is be-
lieved to be the heaviest in many
years.
Those believing in signs say that
"pea-soupers" this time of the year
means plenty of moisture next spring
and summer. If the prediction is true,
Sheridan county should get ple1ty OF
moisture if the density of the fog is
considered.
