"This fact takes on added mean

that the mortality Improvement has

CHARLES LUNDEEN
BACK IN COUNTY

Charles Lundeen, formerly a
successful farmer in the Outlook
community, and a prominent, re-
spected and popular citizen Of
Sheridan county, being at one time
a member of the Board of County
Commissioners, returned here from
Los Angeles, Calf, where he has
been making his home for the past
few years, with his brother Bert
Lundeen of Richland, who had
spent the winter at the Angel city,
arriving here April 20, making the
trip in an automobile.
Since returning Charlie has
gotten into the harness again as
a farmer, and says that he ac-
tually enjoys it. He is helping his
widowed sister, Mrs. Kowski, of
Outlook with the farming of her
place in the Outlook country. For
the past several years, since sell
ing his fine farm in the Outlook
country, Mr.. Lundeen has worked
at his trade as a journeyman tailor
which he abandoned when he came
to Sheridan county as : home
steader.
Since returning to the Outlook
country, Mr.. Lundeen has paid
several visits to Plentywood, call
ing on his many friends here. The
Producers News acknowledges
pleasant call.
Mr.. Lundeen contemplates To-
eating in business at Grand Coulee,
Wash, where the huge dam and
irrigation project is being con-
struggled by the federal govern
ment. He visited this project on
his journey from California back
to Montana. Grand Coulee is 112 |
miles west of Spokane, in beau
tiful valley. The dam and propect
will cost when completed over
5000, 100000, and is the largest
engineering project of all times
and places. The enterprise will |
employ hundreds of thousands of |
workers, and will provide homes
.or two million people when COM
1leted. Mr.. Lundeen believes that
he federal money expended on the
project there will guarantee pros
'erity in that section for years to
:ome.
