Great Falls over the Y-G Bee Line,

Road Is Good.
Mr.. Bonner stated that this road is
now in good condition and is standing
up well under traffic. Reports on

HAVRE BALL CLUB
WANTS GAME HERE
WITH NEWMAN NINE
Contest Would go Far to De-
eide Championship in
Northern Montana.

j. f. Moore, manager of the Havre
ball team, is seeking games with Mon
tana teams and is anxious ito schedule
game with the Great Falls Independ-
ents at Earring park within the next
couple of weeks. Sunday, Aug. Z, is
the date chosen by the Havre manager,
but it will be impossible for the two
teams to meet then, as other teams
have an option on the field for Sunday.
The Independents have the park for
the following Sunday and Manager Sam
Newman had considered a game with
the Great Falls Americans for that
the Americans will be played later in
the season and the Havre challenge
accepted by the Great Falls nine for a
week from Sunday.
The Independents are angli1g for
games with several teams during Aug
ust in preparation for the ball tourna-
ment at Helena early in September.
Manager Newman has formidable
lineup and game between Havre and
the Independents would undoubtedly
prove to be a classy contest. Havre
has been playing fast ball all season
and Ingersoll their twirler, has been
hurling some high class games. With
Ingersoll opposed to Armatage of the
Independents, the battle would no doubt
resolve itself into a pitchers duel
Armatage has proved hard for the op-
posing hitters this season and has av-
eraged about IA strike-outs for each
game.
The Havre- Independents game would
90 a long way toward deciding the
Championship Of northern Montana as
the Hayre aggregation has played and
defeated number of the best teams
in this vicinity. The Independents de-
feated the Helena ball club, which is
considered one of the best teams in
the state.

CITY EMPLOYS
BLACKSMITH
AT TOOL YARD
By Doing It's Own Repairing
and Horse Shoeing, Big
Monthly Saving Made.

Through the employing of a general
blacksmith at the municipal tool yard,
the city. of Great Falls has found it
possible to have done in it's own shop
all of the work that has previously been
given. to private concerns at piece
rates. Estimates made by Mayor Ray
NJ. Armour Tuesday were that the
system will represent saving to the
city of two or three times the black
smiths salary, with the possibility of
months when the cost of tool mainten-
ance and horseshoeing will be reduced
as much as $500.
Shoe City's Teams.
The blacksmith is employed at a
wage of $50 a month and will do all
classes of work necessary to keep city
tools in repair. The nine teams own
ed by the city will be shod in the shop,
in addition to the other work, which
includes carpenter work, wagon re-
pairing, tool sharpening, truck main
tenance and general repairing. The
plan has never been adopted before be-
cause of the ruling of labor unions that
man had to be employed for each
craft represented in work to be done,
Mayor Armour stated
THE system only means that the
city will use the equipment it has on
hand" said Mayor Armour.
Starts as Experiment.
THE tools and materials now owned
by the city are sufficient for the OPP
Grafton of the shop and we are going
to put them to use. At the first, the
plan will be something of an expert
ment. but there is now apparent no
reason why it will not work out to the
city's distinct advantage. The going
piece work prices have been paid by
the city for repair work for years and
if the plan natures as now seems prob
able all of work will be done at cost
no greater than the blacksmith's sal
ary. The blacksmith will work eight
hours day unless there is an emer-
gency, in which case he will work over
time without additional pay"

in 400 B. c.. is to be rebuilt by Amer

Surles at the Jail
According to Deputy Palagi, the man
started negotiations for the purchase
of an automobile from a local agency
but his check of $1,000 was refused.
The autom obile dealer wired the Secur-
ity State bank at Havre for informa-
ton and were told that Surles had
arranged for the transfer of S1S,5OO
from Helena to Havre but that it had
not been received.
Tries Another Dealer.
A later message from the bank

he was not the man they wanted and
that he was working under Attorney
General Rankin. This story only stay
ed his arrest and several hours later
he was taken into custody.
The deputies said that Surles was
vehement in his declaration that he
would get even" with the sheriff
office as soon as he obtained his lib
erty and he made the statement that
Attorney General Rankin would come
to his relief as soon as he heard of
the arrest. An officer from Havre
will arrive in Great Falls this WED
