sportsmen give b. birds a fair
chance 10 get away. Apparently the
game department didn't comprehend
anything Of the kind.
The other night the sportsmen
here met and consulted regarding
the proposition. Deputy Game War
den Lehrbas had written to a num-
ber of outside points. reqneatingI
representation at the meeting. and a.
good nany letters were received.
But one Of them favored returning
TO the September lst date. and that
was from American Falls. Since
that time we have talked to fifteen
American Falls sportsmen and they
took the contrary position and want
ed no change 20 the earlier date.
Deputy Warden Lehrhas and several
others took the position that n any
change was made that no earlier
date than September 10th would be
considered. and M Dutch" In one
Of the best deputy wardens in the
state. and knew the conditions. he
stood with the sportsmen who were
not game hogs.
Later a petition " as literally
signed, and private wires were taken
up with the biological bureau Of the
department of agriculture. which
has jurisdiction over the migratory
bird law. and the decision il given
In the wire above. which was re-
ceivcd this morning.
The main theory involved In the
protest. which was against change
to thO earlier season, Is that the
birds Matched n the great areas OF
eastern Idaho are unable 70 hy on
the first Of September. and II they
were t Is too early 20 shoot them a.
they cannot be kept e. the weather
IL too warm. Aside from that Il ID
no good sport to shoot at a slow
duck. and the big birds ara not liy.
ing until after the first Of October.
and " Ia astonishing that the game
department would take the position
that early open season worked Out
the process Of game preservation,
The action Of the state game warden
should be sufficient canse for hIs re,
tireulent. --pocatello Tribune.

by Expert Bogart the total shortage
now stands at more than 800, 900,
or, to be exact, $10s, ,688.53.
A significant feature of the Bogart
report is that the shortages discov-
cred date back to 1912. In making
his investigation Mr.. Ramstedt did
not go back that far. The treasury
was therefore being looted, it is
shown in the present report, during
the first term of o. v. Allen as well
as during his second term.
Expert Bogart frankly admits in
his report that in order to determine
the total shortage and to make Z
complete and correct report of tbs

to take the original receipts of al
the departments of the state AM

accords in perfect harmony with the

when she was Is years old and but
for their aid she would have died in
childbirth. With her husband she
accompanied them west, and with
the instinct of a homing pigeon, led
them over the Rockies to her old
home. Their trip took them past
the Gate of the Rockies, not far from
Helena. and on August II. 1905, she
met her old tribe at Jefferson Forks,
now Armstead.
Her son, Baptiste, was a favorite
of Captain Merriweather Clark and
was taken to St. Louis, where he
was educated. Later Baptiste Char
bonneau married and became the
father of II children. One of these,
Elizabeth Charbonneau, m arri e d
George DeClue, a Missouri farmer.
She was the mother of Irene DeClue,
now Mrs. Irene Halterman of Helena.
Mrs. Halterman' g veins pulse with
one-eighth Indian blood; one-eighth
of that same blood which took Lewis
and Clark through Montana and
made the reaching of the Pacific pos
sible for the great explorers. Her
two-year-old son, Merlin whose locks
are nearly as white as those of the
mythical Merlin of Tennyson's King
Arthur tales, shows no trace of the
,aborigine. Nor does Mrs. Halter
man. Her type is more of the Irish
and French, the strains which pre-
dominate in her blood.
The DeClue family home is at
Fletcher, Missouri, but Mrs. Halter
man is equally as well at home in
St. Louis as at the place of her birth,
Leaving home at 13 years of age
she has made her way in the world
living in Colorado and Montana since
her departure from Missouri.
She came to Billings, Montana, ir
1910; from there went to Garrison
and in 1911 came to Helena. 1t il

grandfather to her grandfather wit

GIRLS AND FAT men
PLAY A TIE GAME

The ball game last Sunday be.
tween the Fat Men and the Bloomer
Girls was witnessed by a large crowd
of fans, and everybody got their
moneys worth. The game went for
nine innings and resulted in a tie.
the score being 20 to 20.
We will not attempt to give an
extended write-up Of the game as
we admit our inability to do II jus.
tice. However. the girls surprised
every one at their ability in playing
the national game. They took the
lead in the second inning and kept
1t until the eighth. when the Fats
rallied by reason of having called in
to service all of their recruits and
gave the Girls the first goose egg
The ninth inning started with the
Girls still four runs in the lead and
when they added two more TO their
credit in their half of that inning,
it looked as though they were sure
winners. but the Fat Men seemed tp
have gotten their second wind. while
the Girls showed signs Of weakening.
due to their strenuous work In the
eight innings, and when the third
fat man was out the score stood aa
above stated.
Some of the players on each side
were in favor Of playing another
inning, but the majority of both
teams were so we'll nigh tuckered
out they were perfectly willing t1
quit.
The receipts were about si30 aild
after deducting the expenses OF tht
game, the balance was applied or
the indebtedness incurred last yea
in building the fence and RrahG
stand.
In the evening the Bloomer Girl
were treated to a trip to the Ho
Springs, where they spent a hkl
, hour or 80 boiling the soreness Gu
Of their muscles. and the next de-
every one of the nine was as briRh
and lively as though they had 10
INDUCED in nine-inninR contest.
!. While the Fat Men were able
be about Monday, their actions irId
= Gated that they were just about a
r in. They didn't even care TO tal
i about the game and it was evider
d that they felr somewhat humiliate
IT to think they didn't make q betts
If showing on the diamond. They rea
q ~ expected to win the game and NJ
al half try. and to think that they ha
sr to draft all their recruits into se
b. vice and then couldn't do bett
D. than 10 tie the score, gave the
3 cause for feeling humiliated.
m If It wasn't that the season Is Ia
10 and Miss Mcintosh. one Of the pItc
10 ers, Is to leave Monday for month
ne trip to California, It Is likely I
II Bloonaer Girls would issue ehallen
