by rRIER M-COLLISTER.

Rock Island high schools cham
pionship football was given the
school emblems in assembly yester-
day morning. Seventeen men re-
ceived the Crimson and Gold n.
l." monogram as an award for the
good work they did last fall.
As no captain has been elected
for next year. Coach kimmel was
the only one that spoke for the
dean. The coach told something
Of what the squad has done and ex-
pressed his appreciation for the
support of the students. The let
tiers were then distributed.
Bronze watch fobs, which are
given by the state athletic board
have not yet arrived, and will be
awarded at some future date. The
silver cup that the Islanders won
this year by capturing the tri-city
championship, is not ready yet and

Those HOnOred.
Following are the men who re-
ceived their letters in football:
! Captain Henke, Anderson. McCol-
lister. Hall. Littig. Schmidt. PAN
mel. Scheuerman. Ash, Campbell,
Masters, Duncan, Harper. Blank
enburg. Shelter, DOMAIN and Ros-
enkranz'
The election of next years cap
tain will be held the first Of next
week. The choice is generally con-
coded to be between DOMAIN and
Littig. DOMAIN has played center
for the last two seasons and Littig
has performed at left end for the
same length of time. Both men
are about OF equal caliber and the
vote will be close. DOMAIN was
generally conceded to be the best
center in the tri-cities and Littig
made end on all Of the tri-city
teams picked by the various papers.
| Seven to Return.
The prospects are bright for
winning team next year with seven
letter men back in uniform. Prac-
tically the whole line will be back
in full force. Littig and PANEL,
ends: Hall and Ash. tackles, and
DOMAIN, center. will all be in school
and form the nucleus on which
Coach Kimmel will be able to build
a strong squad. In the backfield a
more difficult problem is presented.
Shelter, quarterback and Blanken-
burg, halsback. will be the only
letter that will be eligible to an
: swer the call.
t The football season was one Of
the best, if not the best that hal
ever been enjoyed by Rock Island
i team. For the first time in 10 years
the Islanders defeated Davenport
and took the tri-city title. Thu
team tied Rockford for the cham
pionship of northern part OF the

STRIFE TONIGHT.
Augie Is Fauorite Il,
First Loop Game in
IS Years.

Inc nrst game Of basketball in
10 years between Augustana college
OF Rock Island, and st. Ambrose
college Of Davenport. will be play
ed tonight at the LeClaire gymnas-
ium. Davenport. The game is the
biggest tri-city basketball meet OF
the season. Both teams hs We been
winning every game they have
played for the last several weeks.
and tonight's mixup is sure to be a
fast demonstration,
Both teams are in the best of
condition, and are so evenly
matched that it would be impossible
to pick a winner. According to
dope, however, Augustana seems to
have the edge on the Ambrosians
Early in the season the Monmouth
college quintet came to Davenport
and handed Devlin's men a decisive
defeat Of 20 to 9.
Fail To Beat Augie.
Upon its arrival in Rock Island.
the tables were reversed on the
Monmouth team, Augie taking their
measure, 40 to SO. However, since
its defeat by Monmouth. St. Am
brose has improved greatly.
In recent game with Lombard
college the Ambrosians were victor
lous, leading by a 1O-point margin,
the score Of 80 to 20. Lombard was
also defeated by Knox college, 26
to "a. But, Knox has been picked
by some as probable winners of
this years l. l. A. c. Lombard s
holding the Knox aggregation to
such close score, and St. Ambrose
defeating Lombard in turn, by 10
points, shows that in the Daven-
port team, Augustana will meet one
of the bast quintets it has yet play
ed this year.
Rivalry Acute.
Rivalry between these two
schools has always been high, but
satisfactory negotiations for a
match could not be agreed upon IN
til the present season. The Saints
are keenly anxious to score vic.
tory over the Rock Island college
and Augie is equally as anxious tc
take the st. Ambrose aggregation
to cleaning.
Basketball fans of the tri-cities
are offered game which has Ions
been anticipated and one which
promises to be one of the best OF
the season.
The game will be called at

HOSTING MULES
FROM H MINES
ANACONDA COMPANY SHUTDOWN
IN BUTTE is COMPLETE;
MINERS LEAVING
Hundreds of Them Are Looking for
Work on the Farms; Considerable
Crew Will be Kept at Each of the
Big Mines to Keep Water Out of
Workings While Idle.

For the first time in years many
horses and mules are being hoisted
from the depths of mines on the
Butte hill and the last shift of miners
employed by the Anaconda Copper
Mining company has been lifted and
laid off, with the announcement of
the shutdown of the Anaconda COM
pany. Butte streets were thronged
more than usual as the last shift
came down from the hill and they
were engaged in discussion on street
corners in numbers greater than has
been the case since the town went
dry.
Efforts are being made by the
Butte chamber of commerce to CO.
operate with others in the state in
placing idle men on ranches through
out the state.
New shifts of pumpmen and others
needed about mines while the proper
ties are idle were organized. The
operation of the pumps also require
the services of a small force of cleo
tricians, while shaft men and mech
anics will be present to keep shafts
and machinery in order. Several
hundred men will be employed in the
work of keeping the water down and
the properties in order. The exact
number to be thus engaged has not
yet been determined.
There is still a considerable ton
mage of ore to be run through the
smelter at Anaconda and until this
has been disposed of and the proper
ty placed in shape for suspension of
activity, work will continue at the big
Anaconda plant.
Hundreds of men are making
plans to leave Butte within the next
few days. Most of them are men
with connections in the agricultural
districts in Montana and surrounding
on the ranches.
Efforts are being made to see to it
that all the jobs which will be open
to labor in Montana during spring
and summer are placed at the dis
posal of men from the mines and
smelters.
P. L. Wills, manager of the cham
Der of commerce, said last evening:
sit goes without saying that the
chamber of commerce will do it's ut
most in cooperation with other
chambers of and other or
CARNATIONS in providing work for as
many men as possible. 1t is very
important that all efforts should be
centralized.
$50 far no definite action has been
decided on. In all instances, the
most worthy cases must be taken care
of first and duplication of effort must
be prevented. Family men of course
must be given first consideration"

GIRLS SMARTEST?
SO SAYS ONE TEST
COLLEGE GIRLS DECLARED TO
BE BRIGHTER THAN BOYS AT
MONTANA WESLEYAN
But in Preparatory Department the
Youths Saved Day for Masculine
Contingent by Defeating Younger
Girls; Havre Boy at the Head With
Best Record.

College girls are smarter than the
boys, according to tests made at Mon
tana Wesleyan. The army test, giveI
to 100000 soldiers during the
world war, was tried out on the stu
dents.
The girls average was 144.3 out
of a possible PIP, and the boys got
away with only 140.8.
In the preparatory department the
boys saved the day for the masculine
contingent of the institution by van
gushing the girls, 1T to los, a clear
lead of IL points.
The college juniors, boys and girls
combined, led all classes with an av-
erage of 1872. The Iordly seniors
trailed along with $50, the sophie
mores scored 1862 and the freshmen
finished a strong fourth with 1873.
The average for the whole college
was 1925.
Herbert Durand, a sophomore of
Havre, took individual honors with
1876. Thomas Bumgarner of Che
shire, Ohio, was second with IT'S.
So, while the boys as a whole were
not quite so keen as the girls, they
take some solace in the. fact that boys
copied the two leading places.
The tests we're applied by Dean A.
G. Lemon, instructor in psychology.
Results were announced at chapel
convocation.

BIG BOXING MATCH
THE STOCKMEN
BATTLING ORTEGA AND AL SOM
MERS TO FIGHT AT HELENA
ON APRIL 10
New Shrine Auditorium Will be the
Scene OF Most Important Sporting
Event Held in Montana Since the
Passage of Boxing Law at Last
Falls Election.

With the backing of a large mum

be the most elaborate program oil
fistic sports seen in Montana in many
years as the big feature event of the
Stockmen's convention April 10.
The new Shrine auditorium has
been engaged for the event and will
be arranged for the greatest seating
capacity attainable In any enclosed
edifice in the state. The building
provides an ideal setting for the Sc
ries of contests which will bring out
some of the best talent in the coun-
try.
AS the headliner Battling Ortega,
the Californian, who is conceded the
champion middleweight of the Paci-
fic coast, and AL Sommers of Port
land will clash in a 15-round mill.
These fellows are both rapid fire
punching machines and recently went
six rounds to a draw In Portland in
a bout which sport authorities pro-
nounced the fastest affair seer since
days of Joe Walcott and "Mysteri-
Gus Billy" Smith.
Ortega is highly regarded by Mon
tana fight fans who have seen him in
action and it is a certainty that there
will be plenty of snappy. action any
time he steps into the ring with an
opponent who is willing to mix with
him.
In recent battles the Mexican has
beaten such scrappers as Ted
Lewis, Al Mccoy and other top
notchers in his class. His rapid climb
to the title among the middle weights
not stopped was at least hesitated
when he met Sommers, who display
ed a liking for the Californian's kind
of a game. While the contest ended
in a draw many of the coast sport
writer's gave Somers a shade the best
it for his masterful defense and
willingness sto take the offensive after
The Mexican's Furnishing rushes.
In addition to the main event it pro-
posed to put on a simi-final of the
usual main event class and a num-
Der of rafting god preliminaries, to
make up the banner boxing program
the revival of the sport and an
event that will measure up to the
best show see in the palmy days of
the sport.

was the widest, richest and most
picturesque, because of its noun
tains and rivers. 1t seems to have
been the mecca towards which all the
adventures journeyed. AS early as
1907 Emmanuel Lisa had a trading
post at the mouth Of the Big Horn,
which became famous as Manuel
Lisa's fort, and later he organized
the Missouri Fur company, with a
capital of $4,000 and in 1909 he
and his companion crossed Bozeman
Pass and established his principal
camp at the head of the Missouri
that wonderful country where the
Missouri forks out into three splen-
did rivers"
The writer then tells of the early
trading posts in the state, of the
Vigilantes, of the Indian fights and
in closing says:
at is hard for anyone to compre-
bend the bigness of Montana, and the
eastern mind, accustomed to narrow
lots, skyscrapers and figuring inches
of floor space, simply cannot take in
the vastness, the glory of the space
out there. At first many call it a
wilderness-it is SO big and wide and
high; then they call it a dreariness-
distances are so great. Then they
call it lonely-there is so much room
for everyone. But finally, If they
stay awhile-long enough to get used
to great space-they call it home

calls more softly, perhaps the same
smooth roadway which took us west

RANKIN RULES ON
DELINQUENT TAX
COUNTY TREASURES COLLECT
AT RATE OF ONE PER CENT
PER MONTH
Refund Plan Expires June 4; Opinion
Is Given by States Chief Legal Of
ficer in Response to Inquiry From
Deer Lodge County; New Law Is
Defined.

County %treasurers of Montana are
to collect one per cent a month on
delinquent taxes until paid. They
will remit the penalty of 10 per cent
on 1920 taxes, however, only when
claim for the refund is made prior
to June /, 1921. This ruling was
made by Attorney General Yelling
ton D. Rankin in an opinion made
public a few days ago following the
request of Edwin j. Cummins, coun-
ty attorney of Deer Lodge county.
The ruling is the first construction
made on house substitute for senate
bill No. 95, passed by the regular ses-
sion.
Cummins raised the question: I'm
remitting the penalty for taxes de-
linquent that have been paid, shall
interest be charged from November
80, 1920, to the date that the delin-
quent taxes were paid?"
In discussing the question Rankin
said:
cit is evident that the legislature
intended to remit only the 10 per
cent penalty on delinquent taxes,
paid at any time before October 1,
1921; also that the penalty alone vas
to be refunded on taxes hat were
allowed to go delinquent November
80, 1920, and have since been paid
and this only in case claim was made
therefore prior to June 1, 1921. Had
it been intended to remit or refund
the interest accrued, it seems that the
act would read penalty and interest, >
instead of penalty only. To make it
more certain and clear, the last pro-
viso of the section reads, Provided
further, that all delinquent taxes for
the year 1920 shall bear interest at
the rate of one per cent per month
from November 80, 1920, until paid.
"This 1 think clearly indicates the
intention of the legislature not to re-
nit or refund interest on delinquent
taxes and clearly answers your ques-
ton.
cit is therefore, my opinion, that
under provision of house substitute
for senate bill No. 95, being chapter
2 of the Seventeenth session laws,
the county treasurer may refund only
the penalty on delinquent taxes for
1920, and should collect interest on
such delinquent taxes at one per cent
per month from November 80, 1920,
to the date the delinquent taxes are
paid"

that physicians are prescribing for
other than medicinal purposes and
