NEWS NOTES

AS the boxing match came last

Importance to settle. The meeting
will be held in the Legion hall at 8
o'clock.
The Women's auxiliary Of the post
will be there in order to cooperate
with US for final arrangements for
Decoration day. It is of the greatest
Importance that We have good repre-
sentation of the post out on Memorial
day. Before you decide to go fishing
or squirrel shooting, consider for
moment the obligation we owe our
comrades who were not fortunate
enough to come home with us. Surely
we can forget personal desires and
set aside one day in each year in
their honor.
Our ceremonials committee, Coop
Grating with the local post Of the
Grand Army, has an excellent pro-
gram outlined. 1t will be an inspira-
ton for US. We will have our old
spirit of comradeship revived. We
cannot keep it from becoming dor
mant to an extent in civil life, but
should We forget it altogether? No,
We should not. We must bind our
selves more closely for our common
good and the god of our country.
The civic organizations of Bozeman
will be our guests on Decoration day
and will assemble with US on Main
street near the court house at 2 p. M,
after which We will march to the Mu-
nicipal theater, where the program
will be held. We want every man
who has an honorable discharge from
the service to turn out with the
American Legion. If you can scare
up uniform, well and good; if you
cannot, come in your civies. Details
will be discussed thoroughly at the
meeting Wednesday evening.
If you have not been able to at
tend our meetings, or if you have let
your dues become delinquent, come
Wednesday evening anyway. We will
tell you some of the magnificent ac-
complishments of the American Lee
gion during the past year which
should be more generally known by
ex-service men.

BOUNDARY DISPUTE
WON BY OKLAHOMA
soUTH BANK OF RED RIVER THR
STATE LINE, SUPREME
COURT DECIDES.
OLD DECISION REAFFlRMED
Treaty Of 1879 With Spain is Taken as
Basis For Fixing 1000 Miles Of
Border-Exact Location Is
Postponed.

Washington Oklahoma has won in
the Supreme Court the first big point
IN her suit with Texas for Jurisdiction
over valuable Red river oil fields.
In an opinion which was unanimous,
except that Associate Justice Clarke
took no part the court held that the
south bank of the Red river must be
taken as the true boundary between
Texas and Oklahoma from the south
eastern corner Of the latter state to
the point where the river crosses the
Tooth meridian Of longitude. More
than 1000 miles Of boundary are fixed
permanently by the decision.
The court based its findings spe-
officially on the terms OF the treaty
signed in 1919 between the United
States and Spain, which 'consum.
mated the Louisiana purchase" That
document, it held, affirming its own
decision in the caselo of United States.
Texas, set the south bank of the river
as the true boundary.
Determination of the exact location
Of the south bank" was postponed
until the entering Of the formal decree
which will be promulgated within the
next 30 days. Until this decree is
made public, those interested will be
little better off than before the recent
decision, because the river is extreme
ly wide and shallow along practically
its entire length.
THE contention that the evidence
and arguments in the Green county
case Omitted States VS.. Texas) raised
no controversy as to whether the
boundary followed the mid-channel or
the south bank is not well founded"
Associate Justice Pittney, who read
the courts decision, said "The treaty
OF 1919 and a mass of historical data
bearing upon its proper Interpretation
were before the court. From excerpts
between the secretary OF state, John
Quincy Adams, and the Spanish min
lister, It appeared that the question
whether the boundary should follow
the middle of the Sabine and Red
rivers or the westerly bank of the
former and the southerly bank of the
latter was one of the points under
discussion. the Spanish minister pro-
posing the middle lines, Mr. Adams
the banks"
The opinion then recited that
among Adams memoirs was found the
statement that the objection of Spain
to making the banks, instead of the
center OF the stream, the boundary
was finally abandoned"
