INDIVIDUAL STUDY
AT LAKE STATION
Important Research Work
in Biology Done.

The 1917 session Of the State Uni
versity biological station on Flathead
lake has proved one OF the most sue
ccssful sessions ever held. The at
tendance this summer surpassed any
previous year. and each individual in
structor and student carried on a par.
ticular line of investigation.
Paul W. Graft. Of the department Of
botany at the State University, devot-
ed his time to investigation of the dis
eases of the lichens, MOSES and plants
in the regions surrounding the sta
ton. Professor Croft obtained over 400
specimens. which will be given to the
herbariums at the station and at the
university.
Miss Gertrude p. Norton, of Salt
Lake city. gave special attention to
orchids. Miss Norton's specimens in
clnde over 200 mounted sheets. which
also will be added to the station her.

DR.. {. II. Danforth of st. Louis, ad-
ded many bird skins to the station
collection. Or. Danforth also made a
third survey of the birds on the bird
reserve islands. and through this work
added much to the knowledge of the
birds in the vicinity.
G. Il. Claycomb. Of the Missoula,
county high school, together with DR.,
NJ. }. Elrod. director of the biological
station, gathered data on the life in
the water Of the lake, making investi-
cations 1t the different levels of the
water. including the mud at the bot
tom of the lake.
The weather has been ideal for sta
ton investigation work. The mountain
submits. the different points in the
woods and on the lake have been ac-
cessible at all times during the station
session.

All Missoula, or at least all those
who could get away from their house,
hold duties, attended the watermelon
picnic at Greenough park yesterday
afternoon. Every one had a good time

The fun started at o'clock, when
Mr.. Caras. and his knife welding as

melon among the hungry crowd.
Everyone ate all he could and little
boys realized their fondcst dreams Of
many, many helpings. When the as

Stowel, who pitched for Brattleboro,
was much in evidence. He not only
twirled good game but connected for
four hits. one of which was circuit
drive. Harry Plumb made good show
ing hack of the bat and hit safely three
times as did Einton. Sparks was the
star of the home team.
The game went along fairly even until
the seventh inning, when three errors at
first, doubles by Howard and Covey and

day to roll three matches with teams
from the Masonic bowling league not
only won all three matches but gave q
remarkable exhibition of consistent
team rolling. In each of the first two
matches against picked teams, one IN
the afternoon and one in the evening,
the visitors rolled totals of 1,440 and
in the last match last night against the
Masonic first team their total was AL.
Thompson of the first team in his
final string of the evening broke the
alley single string record when he tipped
the pins for q mark of 156. The best
previous mark was IA made by Marks.
The pins were new ones and when
Thompson punched three spares and a
strike in his first four boxes every man

to go. The boxes in Thompson s string
read like this: 70, 80, SO, 10, 81, 1913,

other totals being $40 and 3l2. His low
single was % and his high one lis.
