R. S. MUTT, SIDNEY,
ADDRESSES LIONS

R. S. Mutt of Sidney vas a guest
speaker at the regular midweek
meeting of the Lions club Wednes-
day, talking In the interests of the
long proposed Canadian-Mexican
highway. Mr.. Mutt has served as the
association president a number of
years. He stated that early compile
ton of the road between Culbert-
son and Sidney would close one of
the important gaps in the new trans
continental highway.
The speaker urged that this COM
munity lend all the assistance pos
sible in securing completion of the
north road between Plentywood and
the Canadian border.
He called attention to the fact
that because eastern Montana had
b e e somewhat Disseminated
against in past years In securing its
just share of the seven per cent al
lotment, there was good reason to
believe this section would be able
10 secure some extra mileage In
road construction the coming year,
G. w. Peterson, who just returned
from Washington as a member of a
committee to interview relief auth
critics in behalf of this area, gave a
most interesting report of his trip,
From his report it was easily con
Guided that the work of the com
mittee had been most helpful.

Court House Building Project
Shifted to PWA and Slated
Feed Shipment Rates Is
Aim of Senator Wheeler

A satisfactory rate on feed
shipments to this area is an aim
of Sen. Burton X. Wheeler, it was
said today following a message
received by Nels NJ. Olson, presi
dent of the Farmers Elevator Co.
of outlook from the senator.
The Senator said in his message
that the Resettlement administra-
ton is authorized to accept appli-
cations for grants for human sus-
tenance as well as application for
loans for necessary subsistence Of
animals. Emergency freight rates
on cattle shipments have also re-
ceived the attention Of Wheeler.
The Great Northern and 500
line have made reductions efec-
tive during June and July with
return limit May 81 next year.

STRUCTURE WILL BE STARTED
THIS SUMMER Is REASON
ABLE ASSURANCE

News through members of a spe-
cial committee who had been sent
to Washington in an effort to speed
up a relief program for Sheridan
county residents indicated that the
long pending court house project
would again be shifted to PWA in
stead of WPA.
Ii comes about in this manner:
Almost a year ago the application
for the new building under PWA
was approved in Washington. Be-
fore the money was actually allocat-
ed, however, the funds were depict
ed, meaning that hundreds of SIM
liar projects. already approved, had
to be abandoned at least temporar-
lily.
1t was then that the county COM
m%issioners, determined not to let
the project go by default, started
an application through WPA. with
assurance that this would In no
manner interfere with the PWA ap-
plication, should funds be made
available later for the latter.
Eventually, both applications
we're in the seperate departmental
headquarters in Washington. with
reasonable assurance that. at least
by one method or the other. the
structure would be started this sum-
mer.
The new big relief appropriation
bill Of a million and a half dollars
was passed by Congress last week
and promptly received the approval
of the President. One of the provis-
ions of this measure was that $780,
600, 900 be earmarked for projects
previously approved, but not start
ed for lack of funds" In this list
was the Sheridan county courthouse.
interviewing the chief engineer Of
PWA, G.. w. Peterson, one Of the
members of the committee reports,
assurance was received that the ap-
proved project would go to the COM
mittee in charge of allocating funds
from the new appropriation. Follow
ing such action, it seemed most
hopeful that the project would not
be long in actually getting under
way-the only possibility for delay
being that it might be sidetracked
in favor of others that seemed more
favorable to the department. With
Senators Wheeler and Murray both
in sympathy with the plight Of
northeastern Montana, and bending
every effort in behalf of its people,
there should be little doubt that
money for this project would be
forthcoming.
Should the project for any reason
fail to receive the allotment from
the PWA board, efforts will be re-
sumed to get the project through as
a WPA allotment.

HOPPER KILLING
PROGRAM IS ON
BAIT Is SPREAD In INFESTED
AREAS; COUNTY REPORTS
HOPPERS

Spreading of grasshopper poison
in an effort to rid Sheridan county
of the pests has continued here and
up to Wednesday distribution and
poisoning were general.
Wednesday the material supply
for mixing poison was exhausted,
however, more bait is expected to
be here shortly.
County Agent M. j. Peterson said
today infestation is general with
small areas in the south part of the
county having the heaviest influx.
A few wheat fields in that area
which present fair stands has re-
suited In hopper migration to that
section.
at is an ideal time to rid Sheri-
dan county of hoppers," said the
county agent. Lack of crops is
making it difficult for the hoppers
to survive and is causing some mi
grafton from the county to greener
areas. There will continue to be
countless numbers of them here and
If necessary steps are taken to COM
pat them now, opportunities to be
rid of them next year will be great
ly enhanced.
The agent said this county gener-
ally has a higher rate of infestation
than other northeastern Montana
counties.
An effort is being made to secure
WPA labor in spreading poison here.

Many Dams to Be Slated
for Construction Here

Work is in progress this week
charting and checking feasible loca-
tons for stock water and conserva-
ton dams in the county.
Fifty dams have already been de-
clared feasible. 1t has been said.
Completion of the Carol dam north
west Of P~lentywood will undoubted-
ly be slated in the coming construc-
tin program.
Sites for other dams include two
near Wolf Creek, another nine miles

FORMER WORLDS
BIG WHEAT AREA
SURVEYS LOSSES
Not One Bushel Expected to
Reach Markets from
Daniels Sheridan

Daniels and Sheridan counties,
n c. dubbed the greatest primary
wheat marketing area In the world,
will have no part In filling the
worlds wheat ~granaries in 1897.
Estimates were today that not
one bushel of wheat will find its way
to market from this section, parched
and burned by relentless heat and
lack of moisture.
This area which once produced
bounteous crops and millions of bu-
shells Of high grade wheat. this sea-
son is experiencing the most COM
plete failure in its history.
In Sheridan county no section can
boast of a field that would bring re-
turns to the sower. Daniels county
is experiencing the same reversal.
500 Line communities in Sheri-
dan county which in former years
shipped train loads Of golden wheat
eastward and eve in adverse years
harvested some crop, this year will
suffer a complete failure.
1t has been more than a year since
this section has received moisture of
sufficient quantity to be of benefit to
soil and ranges.
Cattle Moving
Cattle continued to move from
this area today. Ranges are barren
and stockmen and farmers have
been forced to ship their herds.
approximately $50 carloads OF
Sheridan county beef have been
shipped to market and feeding
grounds. Next week sheep will be
shipped from here and from present
indications more than so carloads
will leave for feeding grounds in
eastern North Dakota and Minneso-
ia.
Sheepmen are determined to keep
their flocks intact. 1t is possible
that the ewes will be returned to
Sheridan county in the spring.
Lambs will be put on the fall mar
ket.

AGREEMENT May
DELAY PROGRAM

An agreement with the Biolog-
ical Survey may cause delay in
setting up dam construction prof.
ects in some Sheridan county To-
calities, ii was said here today.
The state water conservation
board reveals that an agreement
was previously made making it
necessary that all water conser-
walton structures be first passed
upon by the Biological survey in
order that nothing be done to pre-
vent accumulation of water in
Medicine Lake.
If this is to be enforced" de-
partment heads say, then 1t may
interfere greatly with water con-
servation development in other
parts of the county"

NEAR-TRACEDY OF Z CHILK00T
 SOLDIERS TOLD
Were Washed Ashore Near Skagway Alter Clinging
 to Overturned Craft

A tale of near-Uragedy, in which two Chilkoot Barracks soldiers mar rowly averted drowning, was told here today by Corporal Felix Hak- kinen, who arrived on the Dorothy Alexander and is scheduled to de- part for Valdez on the Yukon.
 The two soldiers, Privates Orville Long and Scranton, had gone sail ing in arowboat with an outboard motor last Saturday. When they hadn't returned that night, search was organized to SCOUT nearby wa ters.
 Corporal Hakkinen, who original Iy had been scheduled to go to Valdez with the remainder of his company on the U.SC.G.C. Haida, was forced to remain behind to op- crate a shoal.
 The two doughboys were sighted Sunday by the. cook of the For nance, which was heading to Skag- way, through a pair of eyeglasses The rowboat had been overturned near Skagway and the soldiers had been washed into the icy waters For twenty minutes they clung des- perately to the rowboat until it was washed ashore They had food for several days aboard the rowboat They attracted the attention of the Torrance by waving their shirts
 The absence of the two army men caused construction in the Chil- koot Barracks ranks, Corporal Hak- kinen declared, because five persons associated with the army post were drowned from the same craft ex- actly one year ago on the date the boys set sail.
 They were none the worse fol wear following the narrowing ex- perience, Corporal Hakkinen stat ed.
