then started on rebuilding eight
miles of the Larb creek road, to-
gether with two bridges there. The

rebuilt. with several relocations,
from the Johnson-Arndt corner to
the Crow Greek hill. which was
Strengthened out and graveled.

The Hinsdale-T hoeny road. main
connecting link between Thoeny
and a large part Of western Valley
county. is now gravel surfaced on
tinuously for 25 miles, with gravel

tain Hoffman, wrote no explanation
of how it came into his possession.
But the hilt of the yard-long
weapon has been cracked and
smashed By a bullet while the tip
of the scabbard also has been
torn by a slug. perhaps from some
Montanan's rifle. A floral design
of the Japanese imperial house is
also worked on the hilt.
Before he entered the regular
army more than three years ago,
Captain Hoffman, operated a
grocery store here.
Shortly after the Papuan cam
paign he provided his parents and
relatives here with other souvenirs
priced by them-letters
written on Japanese military stat
of which he said, "the owner
has no further use for it," A
magazine article printed later said
