facilitate the work H. B. Tyson
was elected president and Arlie M.

retary. G. S. Einsel of Broadus was
elected vice-president These three
and the following four will consti-
tute the board of directors, Richard
Loney, Moose Jaw: w. G. Ferguson,
Miles City; H. H. Holmes, Buffalo
Wyoming; I. L. Jackson, Denver,
Colorado.
The design for marking the trail
is to be a black bucking horse on a
white background with two white
bars divided by a black bar as the
distinguishing mark. The drawing
that was submitted to the meeting
was made by E. J. Whitehead of this
city, and was adopted.

that the Powder River was a real G
trail. The Ford that took them over i
the route was decorated with ban t
ners that attracted much attention. c

Let 'em Ride" while at either side C
the banners said "Wolf Point Boost {
