Overcrowding and elements have
wrought havoc with old Sheridan
county records, Edgar l. Syverud tolo
The Herald. He expressed the hope
that the new court house for Sheri-
dan county would be speeded so that
further damage by unfit vaults and
overcrowding would not result to old
records.
The Historical Records survey on
which Syverud is employed is a fed
eral project which seeks to collect in
formation On the existence and general
character of collections of historical
material throughout the country and
will be utilized by the survey in the
preparation of a Guide to Historical
Collections
Inventories are being made of the
records of state, county and other mu-
nicipal governments and groups having
HISTORICAL material.
A report on the accessibility an.
proper housing of material will also be
made, Mr.. Syverud said.
A master inventory will be assem-
bled and copies made accessible to the
public for research and information.
Another object of the survey is the
stimulation of interest in local histor-
ical data and its preservation. Mr..
Syverud said that local, county and
community historical societies are
springing up as a result of the under
taking.
Mr.. Syverud would appreciate the
contact of local private owner ot col
Lotions including diaries, letters or
Individual items so they may be listed
in the Sheridan county survey and add
to Montana history.

bALmY WEATHER
The PAST WEEK

Following a cold snap which sent
thermometers skidding to 20 below
readings, Sheridan county and north
eastern Montana this week enjoyed
balmy weather Of typical Indian sum-
mel fashion.
A blanket of snow which covered
this section last week has disappeared
Sunday warm winds melted snow in
quick order. The cold wave which held
the Pacific northwest in its grip bron,
late Saturday night with a decided
change in temperature. Thermometers
steadily climbed upwards.
Stockmen and sheepmen hail the
change in weather. With estimates
that there is scarcely enough feed
available to carry livestock and sheep
through the winter, from local sup
plies, warming temperatures have
made possible a saving in stored feed
supplies.
Freezing temperatures prevail dur
ing the nights.

Lions Clubs of State
to Aid Adult Blind

The major activity of the Lions
Cubs of District No. 81, which covers
all of Montana, is help to the adult
blind, for whom no provision is now
made. Each Lions club in the state is
now conducting a survey of its COM
munity, and the district governor ano
his committee on the blind, headed by
E. V. Ahern of Havre, are compiling
the data for presentation to the proper
authorities.
Any person knowing of any blind
person should communicate this infor-
nation to his local Lions club immedi-
ately, or if you have no club, send it
direct to MIR. Ahern.
The Lions International has a fine
school for blind children, and a great
work has been done. The Lions club is
now attempting to secure similar re-
habilitation for the adults similarly af-
ficted, that they NAV be made self
supporting.

Old Time Fighter Will Be
Legion's Guest at Card

Rudi HIM, veteran of more
than one hundred professional
ring battles and proclaimed one of
the greatest welterweights of his
time will be a special guest of the
Plentywood American Legion post
at the boxing card to be staged
here by them Nov. 10, which will
feature Larry Kellum, New York
National Golden Gloves welter-
weight champion, and Jack Car
ter, Montana slugger.
More than a quarter of a CEN
fury ago Rudi HIM was a ruler of
the squared circle. He fought all
corners and beat them as they
came. Most notable of his long
and brilliant career was his Cruel
ling battle with Stanley Ketchell,
ring immortal. HIM won a popu-
lar newspaper and fan decision.
Shortly after, Ketchell rose to new
heights and gained the worlds
championship belt.
Although we'll past so, Rudi
HIM still possesses much of his
ring cleverness. Occasionally he
dons the gloves to instruct young
and coming cubs" the art of self
defense. They learn much from
this ring general of rs years ago.
Rudi has been extended an in
vitation to be one of the judges at
the card here.

Browsing around musty and time
worn records at the courthouse. Edeal
|. Syverud, who is this week engaged
in inventory work for the historical
records survey, has found much of in
terest to Sheridan county folks es-
pecially to "old-timers" of this section
who have lived here a quarter Of a
century and more.
In going through the records Mr..
Syverud came upon the Commission
ers' Journal wherein is recorded Sher-
idan county's first general election. The
date was Nov. 3, 1914. The recording
is most unique-a hand-written tabu-
lation of the vote cast and candidates.
The precincts at that time, the records
show, extended from Scobey to Mon
dak. There were IL precincts. The tab
ulation Of the election covers six big
pages of the journal and is neatly COM
piled.
Besides listing the candidates and
the number Of votes, the journal also
LISTS the vote on four special meas
ures, outstanding of which was the
vote on the county seat, which Plenty
wood won from Medicine Lake, by
l,87Z to 1876.
The journal, now yellow with age,
reveals that Eli P. Hansen, Harry D.
Loucks and Frank Weinrich were
members of the first board of county
commissioners.
F. G. Fishbeck was senator, Dana M.
Easton, representative; j. B. Duggan,
sheriff; r. c. Stanfeld, treasurer; H. B.
Hill, assessor; Paul Babcock, county
attorney; James F. Redmond, county
auditor; Irene Murphy, supt. OF
schools; c. E. Coryell, surveyor, and
NJ M. Johnson, coroner.
Another relic in the somewhat mus
ty volume that will undoubtedly in
crease in interest and value as time
marches on is the official register Of
electors up to March IL. 1913 for the
then proposed Sheridan county. Plen-

Rabbits Destroying New
Trees at Fairgrounds

Rabbits are DESTROYING young
planted trees at the Sheridan
county fairgrounds and planned
park near the fairgrounds.
Rabbits have been nibbling the
tender bark of the young trees

sible Of the pests. 1t is said that
rabbits in great quantities are
found east of Plentywood.

GETTING DOWN TO
RASSTACKS
ELECTION ~POST-MORTEMS

Speculation is now rife-will the
president or will he not regard this
huge poll in his favor as whole-heart-
ed appreciation of his policies? To the
extent that he will make no backward
swing to the conservative side. make
no curtailment of governmental ex-
penditures, lop-of none of the New
Deals loudest hops? If so, some of hrs
most ardent supporters wish for the
health of the country that there'd been
a closer vote! The Hearst newspapers
predict that he'll go full ahead on the
same program he's had in the past
eve to the point of urging Constitu-
tional amendment. Ad. bv the way,
one of Washington's newest and big
gest laughs is Mr.. Hearst's violent
panning of Mr.. Roosevelt until Nov. g.,
and his hot footed dash to cool his
scorched heels on the victor's side
Nov. A. Mr.. Hearst, who supported the
president four years ago-and seldom
since-now publicly pats himself on
the back, because he did guess right
the first time-four years back. That
willy gentleman "goes with the wind
that fills his Golfers and "best sells"
his pulp.
Many people believe that this cam-
paign will mark the passing of the
COP; that even the Democratic party
will be the same old bunch only in
name; the present party lines are dis
appearing with outmoded issues, and a
third party may rise in our midst. But

swapping of sides. The progressive
party will be made up of R~ooseveltian
Democrats and boiling republicans and
a conservative party of anti-New Deal
ers and Republican stand-patters.
Of one thing we're certain the new
crop of voters is progressive. 1t pays
but slight heed to fathers old-fash-
Toned idea of cleaving 70 party lines.
1t votes for the candidates and poll
cies ,hat gain its favor Many Of these
young people lean perilously far to-
ward socialism and Communism But
the reason for that is easy to find.
These neophytes were launched on the
economic sea to make their maiden
voyage at a time when there were no
ships CT industry to book them pas
sage. They had a choice of sitting idly
on shore or striking GU to swim III
that turbulent sea. BusIiess boats were
sinking all about. There was little
chance Of being hauled ahcard Their
only hope lay in a ship Of state that
would put out RATS and life boats to
keep them afoat. They realized that
they have scarcely n Chinaman's
chance of ever captaining a leviathan
of industry, so they join with the crew
that demands for them a share in the
boat. This seems to be their only
means of rising from g rough sea to a
firm deck with a possible chance of
climbing UP the rigging, Can anyone
say that they're TO be blamed?
We liked Odd McIntyre's election

would like to have your future
assured, it is asking entirely too
much to suggest that you wait
for 10 years.
Under the circumstances, you
