Puts Shoe Shop Catches Fire

The fire siren brought out the
fire departments of the town
and agency at Ills p. m. Mon
day evening to extinguish q fire
at the G. C. Putt leather goods
shop. The fire had apparently
started on the inside of a wall
case and had worked then up in
to the wall and overhead. owing
to this it acquired considerable
time aud water to extinguish it.
The damage caused was prin-
cipally from smoke and water.
The fire department of both the
town and agency responded
promptly and very quickly had
sufficient control to insure against
the spreading of the fire to any
other building. The new fire
equipment authorized some time
ago has arrived as has also the
new fire truck purchased by local
subscriptions, but this new
equipment was not available for
use as the department had not
yet had an opportunity to as
semble them for use.

Patrol Urges Care
In Holiday Driving

Ease up on the gas to live
over the Fourth of July" is the
plea for safety being made all
over the state this month by Lou
Boedecker of the Montana high
way patrol. The patrol chief is
urging drivers to observe all
safety rules. for their own pro-
lection, but stresses the point
that most of the fatal car crashes
are the result of too much speed.
Last Fourth of July in Mont.

dent death in the state. and the
highway patrol is doing every
thing in its power to see the re-
cord duplicated this year, Doe.
decker said. According to patrol
records. many highway deaths
are resulting from car crashes in
which only one car is involved
this indicates too fast driving"
Up to the middle of June, 81
lives had been snuffed out by au-
tomobile tragedies in Montana
since the first of the year. Only
At deaths had been listed as the
result of car wrecks during the
same period last year. Early
June's death toll was particularly
high because more than one re-
suited in each of several auto
crashes. Boedecker said.

Highway Department Trying New
Safety Measures On Roads

The state highway department
is trying out two new safety
features designed to help motor
lists keep away from road should
ers in the night, and the system
that works out the best will be
used all over the state in future
construction. according to State
Highway Engineer Don A. Nc
Kinnon.
Under one plan, light eolored
rock chips are scattered along
the travel lanes after they have
been oiled. The tiny chips do
not injure tires or cause rough
riding, but give the highway a
color lighter than the black BIZ
luminous. The other plan con-
sists of putting the chips on the
oiled shoulders. making them
show up lighter at night than
the highway surface.
1t is believed that either of the
systems will help drivers keep
away from the road shoulders,
80 often the cause of accidents
at night because they are the
same color as the highway sur
face.
An eight-mile stretch of the
lightened highway is being tried
out between Helena and Clancy,
while a IL mile stretch where
the light chips have been put on
the shoulders is being expert
mented with between Baker and
Miles City.

in the county where state and
federal funds are contemplated
from our present bond issue.
Big Horn county has had very
little state highway aid and
now when an opportunity IS
at hand we are being given =
new name for a thrice named
highway while our sister coun-
ties get the money.
To make the ride more i'm
pressive we are to receive our
new name after July 1st, 1889
which is after the present fis-
cal year begins and which
leaves us without any financial
status as a seven percenter I'M
til after July LIST, 1910. Isn't
it about time our people took
stock and moved toward a unit
ed. definite goal? .
Just what is our position at
the present time? We believe
there is yet one years gaSo-
line tax money hypothecated
prior to the ten years future
hypothecation of our gas tax
money which is pledged to the
payment of the three million
dollar debenture issue. This
leaves our present means OF
matching any federal aid mon
ey seriously hampered and con-
siderably exhausted Tor approx
imately ten years. Our legisla-
tors at the last session OF the
legislature considered and re-
iected a last resort, the licens-
ing of gambling to raise rev.
enue. The only other discussed
possible revenue securing meas
ure, not in use, is a sales tax.
Unless new means of state rev.
enue is provided it is probable
that new highway construction
in Montana will be greatly re-
duced after the three million is
expended during the next ten
years. Hence all counties and
communities are trying to Sc
cure their shares and as much
of their neighbors shares as
possible of the debenture bond
funds. Shouldn't Big Horn
county secure its three miles
of gravel and oil while our big
sister to the west gets her
thirty?

Says Purple Top
Is Threatening

According to E. E. Isaac, ex-
tension horticulturist, who Wis
tied Big Horn county last week
and inspected several OF the
potato fields, purple top is
threatening, though not as Sc
we're as in 1888.
Mr.. Isaac recommended
spraying with lime sulphur for
the prevention and control OF
purple top, which is caused by
q small fly known as the psyl-
lid.
Where spraying is done as a
precaution and preventative,
very good results have been OBJ
tanned and it is apparent that
many fields so cared for will
yield a good crop. In other
fields where the lime sulphur
has not been used, the yield
will be cut materially, 1t was
stated.
For best results, lime sulphur
should be applied with a pres
sure sprayer capable of pro-
ducing from 300 to 400 pounds
pressure. However, good results
can also be obtained by the
use of the smaller, bucket-type
sprayer, if care is exercised IN
applying the spray underneath
the leaves of the vines. .
Since the fly has been found
in the county, spraying should
not be delayed.

Riding On
Merry-Go-Round
Continued from Page y

In the county and among the
heaviest traffic highways of
the state. Our big sister to the
west in the shuttle worked out
a cooperative plan whereby she
gets thirty miles of the Broad
view highway graveled and
oiled.
Big Horn county has always
tried to meet its neighbor half
way We have tried to be a
good spoke in the Midland EN-
pire wheel of which Billings is
rightfully and truly the hub.
The hub is pretty small in cir
cumference and would have to
60 around mighty fast to get
anywhere were it not for the
spokes, but put in the hub good
long strong spokes and the
wheel goes places. Big Horn
county IS one of those spokes in
the Midland Empire wheel of
progress and it must be kept
that way if the wheel is to
function fully.
The Hardin Custer highway
which serves the north half OF
the Big Horn valley IS badly
in need of improvement. Its
traffic, outside of commercial
travel, is practically all local.
It ds truly a feeder road and
the changes of its classification
or its name at the expense of
the elimination of its present
contemplated improvement does
not benefit the north half of
the Big Horn valley Or its
people.
The land lying within Big
Horn county is more than two
thirds Indian owned and not
taxable and our privately owned
lands are necessarily very heav-
lily taxed in order to support
our county and state govern
ment. This is the only highway

FILE APPEAL IN
M'FADDEN CASE

Notice of appeal to the state
supreme court was filed in superior
court Friday by Robert S. Double
day and the Central bank, held
liable in a decision of Judge E. d.
Hodge Oct. Is to repay $4,000 to
the estate of Bridget and Dominic
McFadden.
In strongly-worded opinion
Judge Hodge ruled that Doubleday
had no authority to take and cash
$4,000 in bonds from the McFadden
estate at a time when he had been
replaced as administrator, and that
the bank was liable for permitting
him to deposit the money to his
own account and to use it for his
own expenses.
0. M. Pitzen, who succeeded the
71-year-old free lance writer,
Doubleday. brought the action
early in the year and originally
was given judgment in May for
only $500. Judge Hodge reversed
that decision Oct. Is and granted
judgment for the full amount.
