Urged To Sign
For REAS Service

Every farmer who has not
signed an application for Rural
Identification service, and who
intends to avail himself of this
service should sign, within the
next ten days, according to In
formation released this week
by the board of trustees of the
Big Horn County Electric Co.
operative, Inc.
Gordon Allen, who is work.
ing with James Garrison, pro-
ject engineer, has been checking
maps for accuracy OF Location
of farm homes, during the past
IS days. This work is almost
completed in the Little Big
Horn valley. It is essential that
the information thus gained be
ready before a contract for
construction of the project can
be let.
MI. Allen is, at the same time,
checking the number of trans
formers and their size, based on
the energy load each farmer
will need. If only lights are to
be used, a small transformer
will be installed, but a larger
size will be needed If electrical
motors and other appliances are
to be operated on the farm.
It was pointed out that this
survey is very important. If far
mers sign up late, engineers will
be forced to re-check their fig
ures, and delays in letting the
contracts will be caused because
of the changes in specifications.
A recent circular letter from
c. o. Falkenwald, director of
the examining division of the
REA in washington, D. c., in
dicates that sixty million dol
lars has been added to the 1910
appropriation, making a total
of a hundred million dollars
available for Rural Electrical
ton projects in 1910 and 1941.
It Is inferred that there will
be sufficient money for all pro-
jects in Montana, including the
one in Big Horn county.
A general meeting of those
interested in Rural Electrifica-
ton is to be held in Bozeman
on June 81 at loo pm, in the
main auditorium at the east
end Of the engineering building
at Montana State college. At

 Hines aIIegedIy intervened with Magistrates to obtain dismissal of charges resulting from police raids. He also was charged with receiving payments for such serv- ices as obtaining transfer of po- lice officers who "interfered" with the game.
 The court upheld the lottery convictions unanimously, in an opinion by Associate Judge Ed ward R. Finch, Associate Judge Harlan Rippey concurred in the result but not with the Finch opinion.
 The court reversed, however, a conspiracy charge of which Hines was convicted. He was not sem tenced, however, on the cOnspirac! charge, . misdemeanor. Thus, thu four to eight-year sentence of Judge Charles Mott stands.
