ROAD URGED FOR
DAGMAR country

The Plentywood Lions club went
on record at their regular noon lun-
cheon Wednesday to cooperate with
the Dagmar and Reserve commun-
tiles in an effort to secure prompt
consideration and approval of an
all-weather road from Reserve to
connect with North Dakota highway
No. so at Grenora.
George Lund, Jacob Peterson Of
Reserve and Jorgen Jensen of
Dagmar were members of a commit
tee attending the Lions club
session Wednesday and presented
Views on the suggested plan. "a
road or a high school for the Dag
nal community" is the community's
request.
The club went on record to I'M
mediately contact highway officials
in an effort to secure a survey of
the proposed road building project.
The need of such a road was point
ed out. Under a plan now being
worked out a Dagmar and Reserve
delegation will join with a Plenty
wood delegation to attend a meet
ing and letting of highway officials
at Helena at an early date to further
the project.
The Plentywood delegation will
primarily be at Helena to urge early
construction of the Westby-Plenty-
wood road under the seven per cent
system which is not. under the same
jurisdiction as the road sought
through the Dagmar country and
which will not in any manner result
In conflict.
The Reserve and Dagmar delega-
ton at the Wednesday session was
given assurance that Plentywood ia
vored their road project and would
lend what support possible for its
promotion. 1t vas generally agreed
that community has suffered as well
as other localities for want Of prop
er highways in productive areas well
populated.

Retail SALE Of.
TO START.
APRIL 4
City Dads Will Discuss Bills
Provisions at Meeting
Monday

Sheridan county residents and
tentative liquor dealers scanned
provisions of the Joffray bill which
fater April 4-except in counties
where 35 per cent of the electors
have signed petitions calling for a
special election on the proposition
makes lawful the retail sale of IL
quor.
The law brings return to Montana
the sale of liquor by the glass in
licensed retail establishments.
Members Of the Plentywood city
council and mayor have stated that
provisions of the law would be dis
cussed at next Mondays regular
meeting. Cities and towns have iur-
isdiction over license fees apart
from the fee set by The state.
The newly-created Montana liquor
control board is empowered under
the bill to issue licenses at any time
after 80 days following enactment
of the law.
In communities less than 1000
persons the state license fee is 5000
for each establishment. The highest
fee is $500 in cities of 10000 popu-
lation or over. Fraternal organiza-
tions are taxed 500 a year for Ii
censes and railroads must pay $500.
Liquor establishments selling beer
are taxed $500 a year in addition.
Voters May Dust
The liquor board will be prohib-
tied from issuing licenses, however,
after April 4 in any county where
35 per cent OF the registered quail
flied electors" filed a protest petit
ton with the county commissioners
for a special election.
Within Ave days after the petition
is filed the commissioners are re-
quired to meet and determine" the
! sufficiency .nf the petition. Within
ten days after the filing, If the petit
ton is found sufficient, the commits
sioners are to call the local option
election which must be held within
80 days after the date petition Is
filed.
Sentiment favoring such an cleo
ton in Sheridan county has not yet
been heard.
The law also adds a 50-cent per
gallon excsei tax on all liquor and
requires the licensed retailer to buy
all their liquor supplies from the
state-operated liquor stores.
Half the state collects Is to go to
the state public school general fund
and half to the public welfare fund
for administration of social secur-
ity laws.
The penalty for violation of the
act is a fine of between $1,000 and
5000 or Imprisonment of between
one and five years, or both.

IS URGING
LOAN INCREASE
WANT SHERIDAN DECLARED AN
EMERGENCY AREA IN CASE
OF NECESSITY

Sheridan county's Farmers Union
has presented resolutions to Mon
tana Congressman and authorities
urging that this county be declared
a distressed area under provisions
of the seed loan act which would
make possible larger grants. Loans
to farmers in this area are restrict
ed to $500.
1t is the belief of the Farmers
Union that this county should be
declared a distressed area at once
so that If conditions should change
a normal acreage can be seeded and
the farmers interests protected in
case of good crop yields.
In the resolutions the Union
pointed out that government seed
wheat is priced at SLIGO per bushel
and that due to drouth many have
no seed, feed or fuel"
The resolution stated $500 will
seed about 200 acres of wheat. Oats
corn, barley or millet cannot be
seeded with such a limited budget.
The average Sheridan county farm
is 400 acres. Moisture Is scarce and
there are but SO days before seeding
time. After that it will be too late.
"If moisture comes in time, addi-
tional loans can be made. If dis
tressed emergency loans are not al
lowed, many farmers will be forced
to put in small crops and thus their
incomes would be greatly reduced.
If rain does not come in time they
would not apply for additional
loans"

Pictured above is Otto Erickson,
who lives 8 miles west of Plenty
wood, with a Lynx he shot in a
trap he had baited for coyotes.
The cat was caught Friday and
Mr.. Erickson brought the specimen
to Plentywood where it was viewed
by many people.
Mr.. Erickson has a string of traps
baited with fish to catch prowling
and hayoc-raising coyotes and when
surveying the traps Friday came
upon the spotted fellow, pictured
above. A well-directed shot ended
his rowing. Erickson said the animal
had the tip of one paw in the trap
and with a vigorous kick would
have been easily liberated.
have been easily liberated. The fell
inc specimen weighed % pounds.
How the animal came to roam in
Sheridan county remains a mystery
although it is believed he came from
the Missouri river bottoms near
Culbertson where many similar spe-
cies can be found. The territory in
which the Lynx met his fate is a
atural habitat for wild life.
A Lynx, however, has not been
seen in this section In many years
and the last one known to have been
seen was in the Daleview country.
That was more than 20 wears ago
and it was supposed to have been
shot by a rancher in the early days
of Sheridan county.
The specimen of Mr.. Erickson's is
now in the hands of a taxidermist.
