The Basket Ball champi onship.

Principal c. M. Luce. of the county
high school. has received notice of a
change in the plans of conducting the
state basket ball tournament which is
held during March of each year under
the auspices of the Montana State Col
lege at Bozeman.
In the past all teams desiring to
make the trip We're invited to do so at
the expense of the college. The great
number OF teams has made it neces-
sary that other plans be followed.
The state has been divided into sever
al districts and the champion team of
each district goes to the state tOurna-
ment at BOZeman to take part in the
state championship of games.
The Chouteau county high school
has been placed in the northern dis
trict which is composed Of Chouteau,
Hill, Blaine and Valley counties, and
comprises the following high schools:
Chouteau county high school, Havre.
Chinook and Glasgow high schools.
In the Great Falls district are the
following schools: Great Falls, Fer
gus county high. Belt, Conrad, Waller
and Moore high schools.
The local high school has the option
of changing to the Great Falls district
but has decided to remain in the north
ern district. Games have been sched.
uled with Havre and Chinook to be
played after Christmas. The cham
pionship of the northern district means
something this year and we hope to
ty come out on top again.

Performed Heroic Act.

Great Falls, Dec. 19.--Crawling 27O
feet through 34-inch concrete drain
pipe used as the culvert in Red coulee,
on the Milwaukee railway, where the
fill of 100 feet had slid over one and
closed it. Charles Albright, 20 years
old, made himself hero today by saw
ing the life of Ben Ross, who had en-
tered the pipe to place charge Of
dynamite to help locate the end of the
pipe that it might be mined out"
Ross was overcome by gas and had
been in the pipe for five hours when
rescued, and while he is in precar-
ious condition, physicians say he will
recover.
Albright wore the flesh off his ell
bows and knees entirely to the bone.
and when Ross was dragged free of
the tunnel it was found the 25O-feet
drag had torn the hair and flesh from
his skull. Old-timers declare All
bright's feat is the bravest ever ac-
complished in Montana. A special
train was sent from here to carry as
sistance and bring Ross to the hospi-
tai.

Police Get Easy Money.

Butte, Dec. ia Butte city war
rant for $21, ,S49.O4 was handed to At
torney w. E. Carroll yesterday and
was promptly cashed and the money
divided among 13 policemen who sued
to get that amount from the city for
illegally removing them from the po-
lice force. The payment of the money
closes a case which has dragged
through the courts for two years, and
which involved the Interpretation of
the metropolitan police law. The 13 po-
licemen were removed from the force
in April, 1910, by Mayor Charles Ne
win ON the ground of economy. The
policemen sued for their salary, con-
tending that the police law had been
violated. The court upheld their con.
tention that the men could not be re-
moved without vote of the city coun-
Gil or by trial on regularly preferred
charges before the police commission.
The supreme court sustained the low
er court.

PauI-MorroW,

A very pretty wedding took place at
st. Paul's church Friday evening, when
Miss Elizabeth Morrow, daughter of
VIM. T. Morrow, of this city, and Mr..
Oscar Paul, of the Shonkin, were unit
ed in marriage. Rev. J. N. Chestnut
performed the ceremony, which was
witnessed by large number of
friends.
The church was very prettily deco
rated for the occasion. Mrs. Chas.
Morrow acted as bridesmaid, and Chas.
Morrow accompanied the bridegroom.
The bride was attired in beautiful
silk messaline gown en- train, with a
veil, and carried roses. After the cere-
mony a reception was held at the
Grand Union hotel.
The newly married couple left Fri
day night for Mr.. Paul's former home
in Iowa, where they will spend the
holidays, and will be at home the
early part of January.

Would Change Bounty Law.

A change in the wolf bounty law is
favored by the state board of sheep
commissioners, who expressed them
selves to that effect at a recent meet
ing of the board. The purpose of the
proposed change is to prevent the sale
in Montana of the scalps of predatory
animals killed in other states.
\ legislative committee composed
of r. \. Hammond of Rosebud county
Jerry Flanagan of Silver Bow and
J. H. Brown of Hill county, was ap-
pointed to draft a bill for presentation
before the coming legislature
In the discussion which preceded
the adoption of the resolution it was
brought out that Montana without
doubt paid bounty on the scalps of
wolves and coyotes killed in Wyom
ing and other neighboring states.
The bill, if passed. will probably
reduce the amount of bounty paid. 1t
The river press., 1914-12-23
LARGE Sums For Wolf Bounty.

The legislature will be asked by the
state board of sheep commissioners to
amend the bounty law to provide that
no bounty shall be paid on NANCY coy
otes. The board takes the position
that this disease has been transmitted
to the coyotes through the operations
of the board, that such animals even
tually would die any way, and in view
of the fact that it is no trick to Sc
cure the pelts of these diseased coy
otes, no bounty should be paid.
Bounty claims in the sum of $S,77G
have been authorized paid by the state
board of examiners, which practically
wipes out all Indebtedness so far as
these items are concerned. with the
exception of those filed after January
of this year, and the month of F'ebru-
ary, 1911.
The claims authorized to be paid
will be iquidated out of the five per
cent license fees. 1t is anticipated
that the claims filed during the pres
ent year will be settled in February as
soon as the tax money is paid in, and
the February documents filed in 1911, +,
will clear the books of all Indebtedness
so far as these items are concerned.
During the past year, according to
r. N. Hawkins, secretary of the board,
the state has expended the enormous
sum of $4,000 for bounty claims.
The river press., 1914-12-23

was shown at the meeting that Wyo-
ming pays only $3.50 per scalp, while
Montana pays double that amount,
which is an incentive for trappers of
predatory animals to bring the scalps
into this state, and receive the higher
bounty.
IN addition, the bill will provide for
the same method of identifying scalps
as other states have adopted. In
wyoming, the trapper of coyote
must present jaw bone of the ami
NAL. In Utah, the foot is required.
In this state the Scalp is required.
just what method of Identification
will be adopted will be determined by
the legislative committee.

FUNDS FOR THE SCHOOLS
County Superintendent Apportions
Chouteau County School Money.

The various school districts in Chou
teau county have been provided with
financial resources by the usual Decem-
Der apportionment of the general
school fund which derives revenue
from the 4mill tax that is levied in
every county in Montana. Miss Flana-
gan, county superintendent, announces
that the apportionment is made at the
rate of $7.40 for every child of school
age in each district, the number of
children and the amount of the appor-
tionment being shown in the following
ov1,il,if.
The river press., 1914-12-23

The sum Of about $23,532 is repre-
sented in this appOrtionment, the
school census returns giving $3.50 as
the total number of children of school
age in Chouteau county. In addition
to the amounts appearing in the above
exhibit, most of the school districts
benefit from a special tax levy that
was made for their exclusive use, and
in March there will be an apportion-
ment of state funds in which each dis
trict will share.

Weights Of Seeds.

Many times one wishes to know the
number of pounds to the bushel of the
various grains and seeds. While these
are easily obtainable, yet at the time
wanted they are usually not at hand.
The following table of the standard
weights may be of use for reference.
There is a slight variation from these
weights in different states, but for
the most part are in general use:

Damascus, the oldest city in the
world with continuous history, is the
political and business center of it's
district. 1t lies 1900 feet above sea
level in a fertile oasis surrounded by
barren mountains and desert. The
wonderful productiveness of this oasis
is due to the abundance of water sup
piled by the seven rivers of Damascus.
