Big Horn Farmers
To Get DrouthAid

Effects of the drouth in Big
Horn county have made it neceS-
sary for the Resettlement Admin

2 feed loans, and PIG assignments
on WPA projects" he said.
"Drouth aid available to Big
Horn county farmers includes
grants for human needs, feed
loans, seed loans, work relief and
assistance in locating and buying
feed.
The work program, made pos
;slble through co-operation of the
WPA, is carrying a larpe mart of
the load at the present time.
Farmers and farm laborers quail
fled for work on WPA projects
are certified to the WPA by the
county rehabilitation supervisor
through the Montana relief COM
mission.
where it is impractical for the
farmer to work on a project he
may obtain an emergency grant
for human needs by applying at
the county rehabilitation office.
Feed and seed loans also are
available through this same means.
No great demand has been made
for feed loans as yet and it Is ex-
pected that many farmers OF the
county will sell down to small
foundation herds and work stock
before they apply for feed loans.
"Only a few seed loans are ex-
pected before the 1887 planting
season. A few may be made in
case of fall rains. These prob
ably will be confined to small
amounts Of seed for winter grain

Where feed is needed, farmers

Mrs. Hester Stevenson, progress
sive mayor OF the thriving little
town of Lodge Grass, was in Har-
din, Monday, and made a pleasant
call at the Office of the Tribune

of Lodge Grass is progressing ia
vorably. Last week the field en-
gtneer, Alex Refer, and J.. D.
Kelly, state inspector of WPA pro-
jects, were in Lodge Grass and
called on Mayor Hester Stevenson.
The survey Of the town was look
ed over and Mr.. Refer was very
much in favor that Lodge Grass
should have the federal help in
putting In a good city water sys-
tenn, which can be done with no
additional expense or additional
taxation on the nart OF the prop
erty owners.
A meeting was held the same
evening with the mauor and
Town Councilmen Meister and
Simmons and MI. Kelly and Mr..
Refer and plans for the project
were thoroughly gone into. Mr..
Refer explained that in putting
water into Lodge Grass there will
be no tax on the part of the tax
nayers, as the revenue from the
water consumers will take care of
that expense. There Is a tax on
any improvements made by a
town where there is no revenue
derived from such improvements,
such as sewer and pavinr. How

Fire Destroys
CCC Mess Hall
Sunday Morning Blaze Calls
Fire Department to Camp
7O4 at Birch Lake.

Fire of an undetermined origin des-
troyed the mess hall and kitchen at
CCC Camp 704 early Sunday morning.
When discovered, the fire had gained
considerable headway and the interior
of the building was mass Of flames.
Aid was called from Ely and the
fire truck with a small crew responded
under Chief Cox. However, the ap-
paratus was of no avail as no water
could be secured and only the emerg-
ency tank on the truck was emptied.
Being of frame and tar paper con-
struction the structures burned like
matches and the fire crew from Ely,
after the run of ten miles to the scene,
were only enabled to help in saving the
adjoining buildings IN the group con-
sisting of barracks, recreational build
ing, officers quarters, forester's quar-
ters, and other necessary buildings. To
add to the dilemma, the fire was about
200 feet from the lake with no road and
no hole in the ice from which the en-
gine could pump water.
The loss is estimated at 81 500. Late
advices are to the effect that the build
ings would be rebuilt. The camp con-
sists of a personnel of 195 enrollees,
besides the officers and o. S. Foresters.

Misleading Information.

r. About a week ago there appeared a
story in the Duluth papers which told
Of the Mcmillan party, father and son,
being marooned on Frazer lake north
east of here without supplies and that
one Of the members of the party was
compelled to make his way on foot a
distance of 80 miles to this city under
great hardships.
The story further stated that an air
ship would be necessary to get TO the
lake in question and that 'the trip could
not be negotiated on account Of the
snow on the Duluth airport"
To make a trip of the nature spoken
of is of much hardship in sub-zerc
weather but other parts of the tale die
not hang together. A correspondent
signing himself Ely Sportsman" took
issue with the Duluth story in the fol-
lowing communication:
Referring to your recent article ir
The Herald regarding the two mer
stranded at Fraser lake, 40 miles east OF
Ely, without supplies, it appears thai
there has been more attention given tc
the inadeQuacy of the Duluth airport
fer extending aidtoward incidents OF
this nature than seeking aid from the
nearest point.
