MANY WILD FOWL
HERE THIS YEAR
Local Sportsmen Anticipate Good
Sport For SeasOn-Brief of New
Game Laws.

Wild ducks are very plentiful this
years and sportsmen are looking for
ward to good shooting in this vicinity
when the season opens, September
18th.
The legislative last winter amended
the Montana law so that the dates
of the open season agree with those
of the Federal law on the subject.
There are no treaties with Canada
which affect the shooting of ducks
during this season in Montana, so that
it seems that the season this year
will be free from annoying laws and
be one Of the best enjoyed for some
time by Montana sportsmen.
According to the game laws the
limit is 20 ducks and geese or Brandt
of any variety in any one day; shoot
ing from blind and over decoys is
permitted. Shooting from a boat or
floating device is prohibited, and ST.
lencers are not allowed on guns.
The game laws as now enforced
were written under the direction of
the Montana State Sportsmen's as
sociated and passed at the legisla-
ture last winter,

War Ships and Marines
Are Ordered to LSthn1us

Washington, Aug. 21.-The United
States has informed the government
af Panama that as friendly mediator
between Panama and Costa Rica in
their boundary dispute, it does not
feel compelled to suggest" that Costa
Rica delay longer in taking jurisdic-
ton over territory now held by Pana-
ma, and which was adjudged to be-
long to Costa Rica by the terms of
the White award
The position of this government
was stated in note transmitted by
Secretary Hughes to the government
of Panama on Aug. Is and made pub
nc today Dy the state department.
Costa Rica has advised the United
States, the note said, Of its determin-
alton to assume immediate jurisdiction
over disputed territory.

Almost simultaneously with publ
cation of the note it became known
that force Of marines had been em-

barked at Philadelphia for the canal
zone. Officials here whose positions
made the mcognizant of the move
ment refused to divulge its purpose
of to comment except for the state
ment that it was ordered at the So
licitation of the state department.
The marines, drawn from Quantico,
Va, base, comprised the Third bat
talon of the Fifth regiment and were
commanded by Maj. Thomas S. Clark.
Moving by train Saturday night they
embarked at Philadelphia today, ac-
cording to marine headquarters, on
the battleship Pennsylvania, which
was to convey them to the canal. The
Pennsylvania has been under orders
for fortnight to proceed to the west
coast to take her place in the or
ganized Pacific fleet, naval officials
said Unofficially it was said in naval
circles that no plans had been made
looking to the employment Of Ameri-
can forces in the territory delimited
by the White award.

TO
MEET AUGUST 80
North and South Trail to Hold Or
ganizatiOn Meeting-All Towns
on Line Invited.

Invitations have been issued to
those interested, by the Glasgow
Chamber of Commerce, to a meeting
to be held at the Chamber rooms on
August 80, for the purpose of form
ing North and South Trail associa-
ton.
The invitations have been directed
to members of the city governments,
and the Commercial clubs of all
towns on the route of the present
state road between the Canadian line
and Miles City, and 70 county COM
misioners of each of the counties of
Garfield, Valley and Custer, and a
full meeting is expected.
The value of this proposed asso-
citation is shown, when it is known
that tourists are asking almost daily
how to reach Miles City, or the Vel.
loWstone trail, from Glasgow. Owing
to the fact that the road through Gar.
field county is hard to follow, anc
that the markings on the entire roat
are uncertain and hard to find, it is
almost impossible to direct travellers

Russian Thistles Very
Poor Montana Crop Now

Announcement that one farm crop,
heretofore of the well-known bumper
proportions in Montana, has fallen by
the wayside this year has been made
by F. w. Beier, Jr., federal crop sta
tistician for Montana, and the news
has been received with great acclaim
in the agricultural world.
This is the Russian thistle.
Mr.. Beier has just completed tour
Of Sheridan, Daniels and Roosevelt
counties, in the extreme northeastern
corner Of the state. There he found
wonderful fields of corn, big oat crops
and fair yields of heavy wheat which
is of good quality. Favorable weather
conditions in that region have result
ed in big production.
But the thistle, which in dry years
flourished like a green bay tree, has
not done so well. Mr.. Beier describes
it as bein "short." Weeds, too, he
says, are not offering the difficulty
they did last year and the year before.
In a few of the fields that were left
