While great progress has been made in the direction of street im provement and in main arteries of highway travel from town to town, the general improvement of coun try roads proceeds at a very slow rate. One great reason therefor is the temporary character of so much of the work. The road officials are too anxious to make a record that seems ecbnomical for the time be ing. It is cheaper for this year to scrape a lot of mud out of the gut ters than to cart on gravel and dig out the gutters so as to drain off the water. Slipshod repairs are very costly in the long run. They place a per manent tax on all who have prod uce to to get to market. They give the country district a black eye with a great host of the public that are traveling by automobile. They don’t encourage the home-seekers that may be thinking of locating. The following article taken from the Dixon Hera! was wnttea as the result of Dixon’s first fire, when the home of C. M. Larson was de stroyed. The adjoining property was saved only after desperate ef fort. It reminds us that Wisdom is still without fire protection. We haven’t even rustled up enough interest to purchase a fire alarm, and it looks as though we don’t in tend to do anything until wc ha\e nothing left to protect. Congratu lations to the little Flathead town \The fire of last Sunday aroused the citizens of Dixon to a point of agitation of ways and means to prevent and to fight fires Accord ingly a mass meeting of the citizens was held in the office of A C Thomas Monday night, and a vol unteer fire organized, which is call ed the Dixon Volunteer Fire Com pany A C. Thomas acted as sec retary of the meeting C. H j Smith was elected Chief of the de partment, and given the jiower t o 1 appoint a captain and assistants j It was also voted to have a large j triangle of steel made and hung in the fire house, to be used for a fire alarm. It was further voted to circulate a subscription list among the citizens for the purpose of raising enough money to pay for necessary chemicals, paint the fire house, pay for the triangle, etc Many points of interest along the line of fire protection and fighting fire were discussed and acting up on the suggestion of Chief Smith, all citizens interested in learning more about operating the engine were invited to be at the fire hall Tuesday evening, when the engine would be explained to them by the chief Mr. Smith will call for fre quent drills bp the volunteers, and a united effort will be made to less en the danger of fire in our village We have all seen the destructive ness of fire in our neighboring town of Ronan, and should guard against such a disaster in our town.\ Livestock News Monthly Letter From Portland To The Beat Paper in The Big Hole Valley THE BIG HOLE 14 YEARS AGO Our town is growing- mistake about that. —H*«ten in Chieng* Inter Ooaan.

A road with ample gutters built with enough of a slope so that the water wifi run off, will last many years, while an imperfectly drained road goes to pieces in a hard shower or under the storms and frost of winter. The time has come when unscien tific patching of country roads ought to cease. The fanner needs a good road a great deal more than the pleasure-driving astomobihsts. To the latter a bad road means simpfy a Ettk discomfort. To the farmer it means many hours of time wasted while- he draws his loads though the dough* mad- I t means that b e must keep more hones and that his beasts of bar- den wiH wear o a t qmdber. Letev- Edw ardJ. Colligan, for many years a resident of Walkerville, died yesterday at the family home, says Monday’s Butte Miner, follow ing an illness of three years’ dura tion. Mr. Colligan was born in Dover, N. J ., April 1, 1870, and came to Butte in 1889. He was employed as a teamster at the Mountan Con mine for several years. Mr. Colligan is survived by his wife, his parents, Judge and Mrs. Patrick Colligan; four brothers, John, Frank, George and Eugene, ed with the public schools. Judge Colligan was not told of his son’s death, as he is also very . ill. The ceased was a member of the Cath olic Order a t Foresters and Royal Highlanders. Eugene Colligan, who has been working on the Hirschy ranch, has gone out to attend the funeral. - The 2Sth day of April is Day.

Morse for 5 carloads each of their top cattle The purchaser is Henry VVaech- ter, the well known Alaska buyer, who for the past several years has secured the largest steers from this section for shipment to the far north The cattle will be loaded at Ana conda about the 25th of this month The huge fellows are in fine shape, and Bob Jones, the manager of the Jones Land & Cattle company, claims that the steers will weigh close to T&00 pounds at the rail road. M r.’ Jones has claimed right along that he would get 8 cents for the company’s steers this year, his intimate knowledge of cattle and cattle conditions throughout the country .warranting this statement. This is cheering news to our ranc’iers and marks another epoch in their prosperous business It proves that the Big Hole basin cattle are being prized highe r than ever throughout the country and that our hay crop is the most valu able in the Northwest as a beef producer. Few cattle have been purchased here so far this spring, but none erf our ranchers are losing sleep on that account, most erf them having an abundance of hay and spring at hand.

The elevator will have ample capacity for the large busi ness that is anticipated, and the mill, while a small one, will be de signed with a view to making it a model of completeness, so that its product, wherever sold, may rapid ly gain a reputation equal to that of the country’s largest milling plants. . Members of the Beaverhead County Commercial club have had this matter under consideration for some time. The ranchmen in this vicinity have long realized the ne cessity for an elevator and mill at Drhon, and i t wiH surely prove of great benefit to the farming and business community. Secretary Frank A. Hazelbaker, with the assistance of a number of others, did much to promote this ’ popular, enterprise, and they intend to fie ready for business the coming fall season.
