standpoint, a sentence of more than a century and quarter is not out of order or funny. When man commits twenty-seven bad crimes, his place is out of society for the rest of his natural life. In a criminal record, a time arrives when the welfare of the crimin- al no longer need be considered. The important point is that he be shelved where he can do no more harm. If that can be brought about be putting him away for lifetime and then some, good end has been accomplished.

ROAD CREWS WORK
DOUBLE SHIFTS ON
SHERIDAN ROADS.
Crews Working in Commu
mites Near Dagmar and
Outlook

Forging ahead with a r%oad-build-
Ing program that would eventually
provide every section OF Sheridan
county with a farm to market all
weather road, county crews were
busy this week working In double
shifts In the Dagmar and Outlook
country.
After long awaiting a road east
from Reserve. tapping the Dagmar
area, and failing after repeated ef-
forts to secure the state highway
departments approval of the project
as a farm-to-market highway, east
county farmers succeeded in getting
the county to take over the respon-
sibility of constructing the road.
With double crews manning the
elevator grader 16 hours every day,
rapid progress was being made. The
machine Tuesday was already out
eight miles east of Reserve. A grade
was being thrown up high enough
to blow clear of snow drifts in win
ter. The outfit was to remain on the
project until 1t vas completed all
the way to the Dakota line, con-
hSStAhS Vith hiSnWdy OU West VI
Grenora.
South of outlook another outfit
was also working double shifts on a
similar new grade for farmers I'M
that area. Starting at the NyQuist
corner three miles southeast of Out
look, the construction work passes
the Void and Wagnild farms, the
Henry Raaen farm and is to extend
to the Hendrickson hill four miles
from P~lentywood. Depending on the
securing of additional funds, it Is
proposed to complete the new grade
down the hill to the new state high
way.
The commissioners said this week
that some of the next projects to re-
ceive consideration would be i'm
provement on the old blue trail"
to afford farmers of the northeast
ern section of the county accessible
approaches to the new state highway
between Plentywood and Westby, the
first 10 miles of which will be let for
construction the 30th of this month.
Another project would be compile
ton of a road already started in the
Wolf Greek section.

"In 1926, 1927 and 1928 the gen.

was not sufficient to raise the neces-
sary money for operating expendi-
lures and in the past three years
the levy has been increased close to
the maximum in order to provide
the necessary funds to operate the
county" is a statement issued by
the Montana Taxpayers association

or method of conducting county
business. commissioners are finding
1t more and more difficult to draw
up a budget that will not result in
higher taxes. With lower cash bal
ances, more tax delinquency and

budget cuts for the next years OPP
Grafton are In prospect" contends
the association.
Reduced valuations, high tax de-
linquency and crop failures have
