COUNTY HIGH IN
PENSION PAYMENT

Carbon County rates high in
eligibility for federal and state
old age pension ALLEGATIONS, ac-
cording to a letter received by
county officials from Joseph E.
Watson, Montana relief commits
sion administrator.
The county ranks first in Mon
tana when it comes to credit rat
ing and expediency in handling
pension details, Watson wrote.
carbon County billings, so far
as this office is concerned, are
absolutely right, and let me say
the first one in this office cor
rect" the letter states.
GAS stated previously, this Of
flee will approve reimbursements
to counties Immediately upon re-
ceipt of the counties demand
and there should be no reason
why this should be in excess Of
five or six days. This matter will
be given prompt attention so far
as your county is concerned, and
this office is still trying to find
legal procedure where we may be
able to allocate to the counties
the sum needed by the counties
in advance"
Only three counties, Carbon,
Silver Bow and Lake, have met
conditions contingent on paying
the pensions, Watson said.
Carbon's commissioners John
Normile, w. H. Bunney and J. M.
Anderson, were instrumental in
securing this prompt action for
the benefit of the aged in the
county. Other persons on the old
age pension board who worked in
elevating Carbon's position among
the eligible counties are o. J. Sim
mons, o. j. Salo and Victor Aho.
George j. Mcdonald, county
clerk, aided materially.

NYE PRAISES
SCENIC HIGHWAY |. [
N. Oak. Solon Takes First
Trip Over New
Road

Z Senator Gerald P. Nye of Nortl
Dakota, bane of munition makers
through his senate Investigations
shot a volley Of his own here Sat
urday.
Nye's oral detonation was moi
! one of destruction, however. II
was one of praise of the new Red
Lodge Cooke City highway, a road
over which he had just travelled
from Yellowstone Park with Jack
Haynes, park photographer.
-.s ut is the greatest scenic auto
mobile route I have ever had the
pleasure of observing" the youth
full senator said. "To say that
was thrilled is putting it mildly
Words are really inadequate to
describe the rugged beauty of the
country"
Nye, who was of considerable
help to o. H. P. Shelley in secur-
ing legislation to build the high
way, had naturally heard a lot
about the road.
"Shelley convinced me the road
would be a beautiful one, so !
worked for it. If I had known the
highway would be as beautiful as
it is, would have worked doubly
hard" Nye stated.
"You can take it from me that
it was Shelley's aggressiveness
and hard work that brought the
highway legislation into effect.
Year after year, with the passage
.of the bills in doubt, Shelley
worked tirelessly in the roads
behalf. He was not daunted by
Encouragement after discourage
ment, and his hard work is justi-
fled by the splendid thorough
fare which will please tourists
the country over"
Nye is convinced the highway
will be one of the best known in
the world within a few years. 1T
viii take a lot Of publicity, but
the biggest help will be word-of-
mouth publicity"
Senator Nye was at home in
the newspaper office. He once
edited a North Dakota weekly.
Walking into the back room, he
shifted the ink-scented air and
said: "This is more like it. I feel
at home here"
Nye was accompanied by Mrs.
Nye, who transacted some shop
ping while here.
