When the Augsburg college choir
comes to P~lentywood on June Z it
will be under the baton of Professor
Henry p. Opseth. \ director and
composer, Mr.. Opseth earlier stud
led under the choral master, F. Mel
ius Christianson, and the scintillat-
ing symphonic leader, Mr.. Eugene
Ormandy. For a time he served as
an assistant Il DIR. f. Melius Chris
tianson. During the World War he
directed the 364th Infantry Band in
France.
In 1922 Mr.. Opseth came to Augs-
burg College in Minneapolis, where
he has since become known for his
work with mems and women's Choir
al organizations. His favorite inter-
pretations are of the Russian mas
ters who portray the deep religious
feeling of that Slavic race.
Professor Opseth has before taken
his songsters on extensive tours. But
this year he has decided to take
them on a trip that lasts more than
four weeks, includes states, and

TAX PAYMENTS
ARE BEING MADE

Tax collections up to Tuesday eve
ming for the last half of 1896 pay
ments now due totalled S10,31S.68,
Deputy County Treasurer Henry
Goodman said yesterday.
With nine taxpaying days remain
ing before penalty and interest are
attached. treasury officials prepared
for a last week rush to the pay win
dow.
A pessimistic outlook due to lack
of rain will cut down the tax eve
nue. it is believd, unless a decided
change occurs within the next week.
Checks from utility companies OPP
Grating in the county usually arrive
at the tax paying deadline period
and their last half payments will to-
tai approximately $4,000.
The biggest utility payer is the
Great Northern railway, the 500 line
next and followed by the Montana
Dakota Utilities Co., and the Noun
tain States Telephone and Telegraph
Co.
With the period in which to pay
delinquent taxes without penalty
and interest extended to 1898, no
big rush in past due payments are
expected.
The current taxes due May 81
draw interest at the rate of 8 per
cen and a two per cent penalty is
attached and are not exempt under
the provisions of the act.

O|L|NC OF ROAD
IS IN PROGRESS

Oiling of approximately IL miles
of road from Plentywood to Archer
is in progress and by the first of the
week one mile had been completed
from the city limits of Plentywood.
The mile stretch appears to be an
excellent piece of road.
Work was suspended temporarily
Tuesday due to temperature chang
es. Dropping of thermometers below
a minimum for oiling purposes
called the halt in oiling. About a
third Of a mile of mixture Tuesday
evening was piled at the end of the
completed stretch, ready for spread
ing.
The oiling contract is held by j.
l.. Mclaughlin of Great Falls, who
also completed the gravelling last
fall. Within a month 1t is believed
the road will be completely oiled.
Upon it's completion an all-weath-
er highway will be available for mo-
florists around "the square" from
P~lentywood to Culbertson, on oiled
highway No. 2 to Wolf Point north
to Scobey and from Scobey to Plen-
tywood.

DUST, NO RAIN,
BUT HIGH WINDS
BLACK BLIZZARDS SWEEP THIS
SECTION AND PLANTED
GRAINS GO THIRSTY

Black billiards continued to
sweep over northeastern Montana
and western North Dakota this week
turning the entire section into a
dust bowl typical of the midwestern
states storms of several years ago.
Clouds of dust whipped by aggrav-
ating, chilly winds ~blanketed this
entire section.
Motorists coming to Plentywood
Tuesday said that visibility on high
ways was exceedingly difficult at
times and in farming communities
where considerable loose soil Is
found the dust clouds came in chok-
ing quantities.
Rain still Sights Sheridan coun-
ty. Canadian shoppers here Monday
reported a good soaker from Re-
gina to Ceylon Sunday night and
early Monday morning.
The high winds of the past week
have brought fears to farmers. Seed
in many localities is reported as
blown out. One farmer told The
Herald that he estimated 80 percent
of the seed which he had sown had
been whipped from the ground.
In the Medicine Lake territory, a
narrow strip which received a good
drenching last week the outlook is
somewhat better.
Rain is needed within a short per-
iod in Sheridan county If there are
any hopes for a crop.

WPA OFFICIALS
TOUR SHERIDAN
PRESENT VIEWS BEFORE LIONS
CLUB AT LUNCHEON
MEETING

James l.. Duffy, district WPA di-
rector, accompanied by H. J. Hin
recksen, district engineer, were in
P~lentywood Wednesday and were
also on an inspection tour viewing
WPA projects under way in Sheri-
dan county.
Mr.. Duffy and Mr.. Hinrecksen
were guests of the Plentywood Lions
club at their Wednesday luncheon.
Mr.. Duffy stated that the work
program slated by WPA has been
seriously curtailed in this section
because of shortage of funds.
Much of the WPA money which
was allotted has been placed in the
Mississippi valley for flood relief
projects and as a result a drain on
the funds necessitated curtailment
Of projects to some extent in other
localities.
He said that $50 men were en-
ployed on WPA jobs in the eight
northern and northeastern Montana
counties and this month the quota
has been set at 746.
The WPA director urged that
when facts are presented to officials
about conditions in an effort to Sc
cure projects, that they be sound
and a true picture be taken. Misrep-
resentation leads to less considera-
ton was Mr.. Duffy's belief.
Hinrecksen stated that according
to estimates the Carroll dam near
P~lentywood, upon which work was
in progress, is without doubt one
of the best dams of its kind to be
built in the state. The amount OF
water which can be stored is above
the average, he said.
