Complete Survey
To Change Roads

County Surveyor c. A. Ran
dali and Engineer B. J Klein
hesselink, supervisor of roads on
the Crow Indian reservation,
have just completed the survey
OF a proposed road Straighten-
ing the highway leading from
the Two LegginS bridge on the
st. Xavier road.
The new survey starts at the
corner five miles south of Har-
din and, cutting out the bend
which now runs more than one
mile west before it again turns
south, proceeds in a Southwest
erly direction to the bridge.
thus eliminating the blind cor
ner at which several automo-
bile accidents have occurred in
recent years.
The change will also shorten
the driving distance between
Hardin and the Two Leggins
bridge nearly a mile.
The expense of changing the
crushed gravel highway will be
divided between the Grow In
dian reservation and Big Horn
county.

Using oil structures in Big Horn

of stockholders last evening for
the purpose of electlng direct
ors tor one, two and three
year terms.
Leon White of Gillette, Wyo.,
was elected director for one
year, Mrs. T.. G. Dillon for two
years and w. L. Dillon for
three years.
The company has several
thousand acres of land under
lease. Several large oil compan-
les have been contacted in an
effort to get these lands de-
veloped. The most promising
structure on which the company
nolds a lease is on the Grow
Indian reservation, known as
the White Clay structure. Much
preliminary work on this prop
erty has recently been COM
pleted, and the stockholders at
the meeting last night formu-
lated plans for the drilling of a
well in view of the fact that
there is a market awaiting oil
development at this particular
location. The structure is one
of few shallow drilling proper
ties in existence in the United
States. Seven oil bearing forma-
tons can be penetrated within
27N0 feet of drilling, with ex-
cellent chances of encountering
production within 1900 feet of
drilling, it is stated by biologists
who hove examined the struc-
ture.

Committee Calls
On Relief Heads
Men Seek information In
Regard To Locul Setup
For Needy

"a committee of four men
from the Big Horn County
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
called on the local relief agen-
cies for Information regarding
policies used in granting aid to
the needy.
The committee was appointed
when it was learned a local
merchant had been granting
credit to three white men who
were unable to secure private
employment or relief, while
three MeXicans who had worked
throughout the summer were
given grants.
It was stated by relief heads
that the rolls were being re-
duced six to eight men per
month, and that no discrimina-
ton was being made against
any individual who was in need
of aid.
It was learned that certain
individuals who were not really
in need of aid were seeking re-
lief. One example cited was that
of a man with a new car that
had been working all summer.
He had paid three installments
ahead on his auto and at pres
ent was seeking aid from the
Farm Security administration,
which was denied.
Relief rolls were being ar
ranged so that needy men would
receive a shift of work every
few weeks, it was stated.
