Barrows IMIbmiiKBPubisher I'WmirrTn V o t e o f s u p p o r t . . . The County Commissioner completed their re districting plan this week, well in time to meet a court-imposed deadline of December 1. v District Court, in response to a complaint filed by John P lutt, Jr., ordered the commissioners to follow the one-mem, one-vote principle and redistrict the county according to the 1980 census. The commissioners have been putting off what was an inevitable task. The matter has come up before, b ut the commissioners always were able to find a way to avoid it. Judge Davis said \no more.\ And what had been feared as an overwhelming, perhaps even impossible task, was quickly accomplished. The three districts were split up equally, both as to area and people... within one person, to be exact And with a minimum of gerry-mandering. Now the residents of Beaverhead County will have people who truly represent them, living ihtheir districts. - Only one, small potential problem raises itself. I t is possible, with the way the county is now divided, (and there seemed almost no other way to do it), that some day all three commissioners could conceivable be from Dillon. The dividing lines center from the courthouse and radiate out, with each commissioner getting a piece of the Dillon pie, and then their separate districts spread out in the rural areas. \Either way, i t is a terrific improvement, and the risk of rural areas losing all their representation is probably remote... although possible. And that seems to be the only glitch in the entire project. A YELLOWSTONE NEWSPAPER John M.

T h a n k s f o r a ' b e a u t i f u l ' j o b To the Editor: 1 / The Beautification Committee, an extension of the Beaverhead Centennial Committee, ex tends a sincere thank you. The flowers that bloomed so beautifully on Helena and Montana streets in Dillon last summer were a project completed by this committee. This project will be continued next year with work being done to prepare Montana Street for future beautification and continuing on Helena Street, there will be flowers and shrubs planted. We will be starting with larger trees as water is made available. We are looking forward to helping the depot committee renovate the area. Thisprojectcouldnothave succeeded without the equipment and materials that were donated by the following; R.E. Miller Construction, back hoe, truck; Don Elliott, dump truck; Wade’s Backhoe Service, backhoe; Stephens Greenhouse, flowers; Beaverhead County, equipment; City of D e f e n d s F r a n k H u l l . . . To the Editor: I feel I must write to you in the defense of my brother Frank Hull and state that I think it is a shame he resigned from the Juvenile Officer's job. 1 worked as a dispatcher for the Sheriff’s Office in Dillon for several years and no matter what time a call was placed to him he responded. I wonder how many people know or have any idea how many bothered youngsters have spent the night or several nights in the home of my brother Frog and his wife Yvonne? All a t no expense to the county. Someone in town should find out why he decided to give up his service to the town’s troubled youth. ;!: jv . ; Why was he the lowest paid juvenile officer in . Dillon, equipment; Paul's Motor Co., watering truck; Industrial Arts Club, WMC, equipment; Jaycees and Jayceens, equipment; KDBM Ra dio, radio spots; Cenex, water tank; Beaverhead Repair, tank trailer; Standard Lumber, water and equipment; Little Town Pump, water; and State Bank and Trust, advertising. Thanking the following for their kind gesture in watering flowers a week a t a time: Norwest Bank; Danish Brothers; Dillon Special Resources, four weeks; Dillon Hi-Lighters 4-H; Rainbow Girls; Garden Club, and Beaverhead Centennial Committee. Many other volunteers participated with donations and labor. Thanks to all of you. We will see you in the spring. Wishing you Happy, Happy Holidays! Liz Anderson, Marge Jappe and the members of the Beaverhead Centennial Committee Robert M. Hull Billings Montana yet the one with the most service? Talk to the secretaries, dispatchers, officers and parents about Frog’s work. I noticed an ad was placed in your paper several weeks ago offering to start a new part-time probation officer a t the salary Frog took 22 years to reach. That doesn’t seem fair to me. The big losers are the next bunch of kids in trouble who won’t benefit by my brother’s firm love and experience.' How many county officials would work finll time for h alf pay? I sincerely hope they will look into this matter. A s i t w a s History as it was written... in the back pages of the Dillon Tribune- Examiner 100 Years Ago This Week November 27,1889 “While the men were running the tunnel a t the mica mine last week, a fine specimen of gold rock was discovered. I t has been sent to the assayer and should it prove valuable, another lively industry will be added in this community.” 'The inspection of cavalry horses last Satur day in this d ty resulted very favorably. The in spector said that in his twenty years experience, he had never found a lot ofhorses that showed up better as a whole. Usually only About 60 per cent are acceptable. Mr. Sim Estes, who had charge of the purchasing, has handled horses enough to know when sees a good one. The inspectors were Maj. Henry Carroll, First Cavalry USA, Fort Custer, Dr. M. A Piche V.S., USA, Fort Custer, and J. A. Brown, Miles City, while Quartermas ter Gilbert E. Smith, of Helena, was receiver. The whole contract calls for over 90 horses, to be distributed as follows: Fort Assinaboine 13, Fort Custer 37, Fort Maginnis 4 and Fort Keogh 6, all in Montana; Fort Meade 14, Fort Buford 4, and Fort Yates 5, all in Dakota, and camp Sheridan, Wyoming, 10.” “By the new state law the school age has been changed from four to twenty-one to six to twenty- one years. This will reduce the school census several hundred, if not thousands, as a large number of the school population is between the ages of four and six.” 50 Years Ago This Week November 27,1039 “Beaverhead sportsmen aided members of the Butte Angler’s Club and others Thursday in the release of 139 Chinese pheasants in differ ent sections of the valley. All of the birds, with the exception of one, arrived in good shape, it was reported, and upon liberation soon found their wings despite the fact that they were incu bated and reared in pens a t Maiden Rock by the Butte Angler's club. Sportsmen believe that with continued good weather, the birds will soon find plenty to eat and cover for the winter. Ott Vand- grift and Undersheriff John Troupe assisted in releasing the birds.\ Two Dillon residents, Mrs. J. W, Deputy and Mrs. Henry Rodgers, upon their return to the city last week gave eye witness accounts ofthe North Pacific earthquake which rocked Wash ington and Oregon late Sunday. They were stay ing a t the time in a Tacoma hotel while enroute up the coast from a ten-day trip to California. Sunday’s trembler, which threw Tacoma resi dents into a panic, the ladies stated, was suffi cient to cause them to leave the Washington city in haste and return to Dillon.” 25 Years Ago This Week Novem ber 31,1964 \Plans for a proposed curfew for minors under 18 were disclosed here today by Probation Offi cer John Hay and Police Chief Leo Williams, who said the proposal will be presented the City Council at their regular meeting Wednesday night. Both officials called for public opinion to be expressed to city councilmen prior to the Wednesday meet. Rev. Hay said the proposed or dinance was prompted by the \increasing num ber of complaints of stealing, vandalism and teenage fighting taking place a t late and un usual hours in and around Dillon.” “Another successful sagatompiled by a for mer Dillon resident was disclosed recently when Eugene Stone, son of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Stone of Dillon, was named \Supervisor o fthe Month” by S h a k e /s Inc., a mushrooming pizza parlor concern which headquarters in Burling ame, Calif. As Midwestern States Supervisor for Shake/s Incorporated, he must keep an eye on parlors separated by hundreds of miles • through out the great Midwest and South.” IS
