OLD VIGILANTE
REAL PIONEER

Gilman. Mont, July 19.-Olivel
Bernier, of Gilman, is this week Gel
ebrating the forty-third anniversary
of his rarival in Montana.
Shortly before the Vigilantes began
to elevate" the highwayman, Bernier
came to Virginia City in 1868. He
witnessed many stirring scenes, there
after. -a
When Bernier come to Montana its
population was less than that Of a
present voting precinct in St. Paul or
Minneapolis. The Red Man was SUI
preme. 1t is claimed there was not
a bathtub in the state-and nobody
cared.
Helena was collection of log
shacks and Butte was a desert.
Bernier saw the transformations the
wealth dug from the earth, the battles
with Indians, and vice, and liquor
he fought the grizzly and the wolf
and the RATHER and he still is hale
and hearty.

RECENT RAIN
WAS GOD SEND

Minneapolis, July 19-Reports re-
ceived by Minneapolis millers and
grain dealers confirmed the belief OF
other agricultural men that the rain
which swept the Northwest during the
past few days was God-send for the
crops.
Many dispatches have been receiv>
ed from various counties and from re-
gional correspondents telling of the
long wished for rain. Although the
storm was quite severe in some dis
tricts-particularly in Minnesota and
along the eastern edge of the Dakotas
the loss was far outweighed by tho
tremendous value of the rainfall for
the growing grains.
The rain swept across Montana,
North and South Dakota, Iowa anu
Minnesota and most of the districts
reported one inch of precipitation.
Montana had been without rain for
a long spell and dispatches which
preceded the rainfall forecast every
loss to crops unless they were soon
watered. South Dakota was also short
of rain Iowa had more rain than was
needed. Late reports from North Da-
kOta were to the effect that the gain
wa swelcomed Most Minnesota dis
tricts valued the down pours.

By PAUL PCRMAN.

With the minor leagues going out
of business with automatic regularity
and the majors hit hard by enlist
ments and assertions to shipyards or
munitiOn factories, organized baseball
will soon be thing of the past unless
authorities at Washington speedily
determine the status of the Crowder
work or fight order, as applied to
ballplayers.
The delay in obtaining a decision
has already driven many big league
players from baseball and magnates
are frankly troubled by the outlook.
The worries of the magnates and
the players still left in baseball are
not occasioned so much by the posi-
bility that the ball parks may have
to be closed during the season, as by
the indefinite status of the case at
present, which prevents the men
whose money is tied up in the parks
from knowing just where they stand
and what action they should take to
partly cover the losses they must sus-
tain in case the season is not fin
ished.
Actors and movie actors have been
exempted from the work or fight or
der as workers in essential industries,
but there have been no rulings on
ballplayers who entertain thousands
by their skill. III

BASEBALL FACES DOOM UNLESS
DEFINITE WAR RULING is MADE

The popularity OF baseball nova
days cannot be questioned by those
conversant with the facts: H
Practically every big league club
is having successful season this
year. The ball yards are being crowd
ed almost daily. The sport is not a
dead one, by any means, and if amuse-
ments are to be considered essential,
baseball deserves consideration.
OF course, that is a matter for the
war department to decide and there
will be no objection to any, ruling
which will in any way tend toward
a more speedy ending of the war
But the owners at least are enti-
tied to know in advance what will
happen in order that they will be
able to protect themselves.
At the outside it is very doubtful
if any of the minors will be able to
continue through the season.
The Pacific Coast and Pacific Inter-
national leagues were the last to sue
cumb. These were two of the most
powerful minors and constituted all
the organized baseball on the Pacific
coast. 1t is understood that little
money is being made by American
Association and International league
clubs and it will not be surprising
to hear of the leagues terminating
their seasons within a short time.

Cobb. His mechanical playing has
been outdone by others-Speaker is
a greater outfielder, Lajoie was a
greater pinch hitter, but Cobb has the
personality, the Color" the fire"
which has not only made him the
greatest ballplayer of all time, but
also the greatest gate attraction the
game has ever seen.
Twelve years GU of thirteen Cobb
has led his leagu in batting and is
away out in the lead again this year.
For six or eight years he has led in
base-stealing, in the number of dou-
bles and triples made, in hits made
and in runs scored ..
In a dozen years he has set more
new records for future stars to shoot
at than any half dozen other players
in the history of baseball.

out Cobb. >.. .ea. g.. ...--

Ty Cobb is to retire from baseball
at the end Of the present season.
The greatest of the great proposes
to get into some war activity by which
h may do wha he considers his duty
to his country. Whether this will
mean actual enlistment or something
else, Cobb does not say.
Friends of Cobb, however. say that
Cobb has often spoken of entering

him. After half an hour of unsuc-

Pretty soon the cook pokcd his head

Without q word in reply I got busy
with the mud and soon my dixie was

Most of the afternoon was spent by
the men writing letters home. 1 used
my spare time to chop wood for the
