Basket Ball In Montana.

BOHEMIAN. MONTANA. March IL. 1915. The
nuai interscholastic basket ball tournament
ID over. and we are beginning to get settled
down again. This year a new plan was fol-
iowed-the State was divided into eight dis
tricts, and district tournaments were held. The
Two winning teams in each district were then
Tor the tournament which decided the State
championship. As President Hamilton said,
In his opening speech at the Wednesday even
ing, basket ball is particularly well suited to
This State. as the long winters in some locail-
ties curtail our football and baseball seasons,
and where distances are so great, small teams
are great advantage. Surely Montana has
developed some real basketball players, and
the games this year were the "best yet. In
connection with the athletic activities are
also the extemporaneous speaking and essay
writing contests, carried on under much the
same plan. Sixteen teams were in the con-
test, and there were nine sessions, all well at
tended. Over $500 paid admissions we're
counted and among them were numbers OF
''rooters" from all sections of the State. Ten
of the twenty-six games were decided by one
Or two points, and almost all Of them were so
close that the result was in doubt up to the
last minute of play won't try to tell you OF
all of the sessions.
Friday we enjoyed having Principal W. H.
Mccall of the Billings High school, with his
wife and little son, here to dinner. He is an
S. A. E., and Will has known him for several
years. They are very pleasant people, and
the six year old William, Jr., enjoyed playing
with Billies things. Mrs Mccall knew
Mrs. Florence Sargent Cook in Billings, and
also little Miss Hewett, who was here in col
lege last year and whose people came from
Rockland.
Of course all the excitement eliminated
Saturday night. We went up at $50 The
gym doors opened at $50, and there was
tremendous crush. The gym was packed in
no time. and 1t seemed as if fully half the
people were Helena or Sweet Grass county
(Big Timber) supporters. The noise of the
cheers, yes, etc, was almost deafenlng all
the evening There were three splendid
games, and then the final championship con-
test between Helena and Big Timber, or rather
Sweet Grass county High. won't attempt to
describe it, but will enclose clipping from
the morning paper:

DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and per-
spring. just when they are most dangerous and
the result is Neuralgia. Stiff Neck. Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack Of Rheumatism. In
such cases apply Sloan's Liniment 1t stimu-
lates circulation to the sore and painful part.
The blood flows freely and in a short time the
stiffness and pain leaves. Those suffering
from Neuralgia or Neuralgia Headache will
find one or two applications of Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agonizing pain
gives way to tingling sensation Of comfort
and warmth and quiet rest and sleep is possible.

Lower Geyser Basin were the Mammoth
Paint Pots, whose bubblIng, boiling mud

of ''corn meal mush' boiling on the

We fingered at the crater of Excelsior
Geyser in the Middle Basin, marvelling
at the very awfulness of the sight

descriptive title. In its days of activity
this was more volcano than geyser, but
