COLLEGE ATHLETES ARE BUSY WORKING
OUT FOR BASEBALL AND TRACK TEAMS

Every day that the weather per-
mits the athletes at the Mont. State
college are busy. working for places
on the two teams that will represent
the local institution this spring. Coach
Graves is taking presonal charge of
the baseball men and G.. o. Glisson,
one of the best known track coaches
in the northwest and for several years
successful coach at the Gallatin high
school, has charge of the track ma
terial.
In baseball the prospects look fair
ly good for winning team. If the
weather stays good enough 10 per-
nit outdoor work and if the recruit
pitchers come through as they should
Coach Graves nine should be able to
cross bats with any college aggrega-
tion in the northwest.
There has been liberal turnout OF
baseball aspirants this spring and al
though the weather has been handi-
cap to much outdoor work, still the
men are in fair condition considering
how little they have been on the dia
mond. The battery men have beer
working out for some time and the
rest of the squad are now getting on
every evening that weather conditions
permit. For the position behind th'
plate Graves has two dependable mel

.BOZEMAN IS On new
AEROPLANE ROUTE
for Aerial Travel Will Fol-
low Course of Yellowstone Trail
TO PROMOTE FLYING
VIII Establish Landing Fields From
Chicago to Seattle to Help Com
mercial Flyers

The Bozeman chamber of commerce
has recently paid membership dues
in the new Yellowstone Aero route
and will thus be on the first regular
aero highway to cross the northwest
ern states. The route has been form
ed to promote commercial flying thru
the state of Montana and thru the
country covered by the Yellowstone
Trail. Miles City people are largely
behind this new venture and practi-
cally all CT the larger Yellowstone
Trail towns in the state are backing
the proposition. Landing fields will
be established by this new association
all the way from Chicago to Seattle
and it is hoped that these will serve
as a strong inducement to promote
flying in this part of the country.
In respect to landing fields Boze-
man expects to have as good q field
as any in the country before the cur
rent summer is over. The old fair
grounds at the head of North Black
avenue will be converted into a land
ing field as soon as weather conditions
permit the proper working Of the
ground. There is a draw in the field
inside of the race track that must be
graded in and the land will all need
rolling, but aside from the one OBJ
struction mentioned there are no
faults to be found with the new field.
For q time last year the field was
deemed too small for an official field
but the government mas materially
altered its specifications as to the
size Of the fields needed for landing
purposes, much smaller fields than
formerly being now acceptable. Owing
to its close proximity to the busi-
ness district of Bozeman and freedom
, from all distractions which would
handicap landings, the field is deem
ed suitable in every sense.
Following is the letter from VIM.

who have so far neglected the work
and County Agent Bodley is most de-
sirOus that alb who have not poisoned
their pet supply of gophers do so at

In order to get at the gophers on

him to protect his own property. The
poison for any owned farm land is
available in practically every town in

ROUTINE MEETING
OF CITY COUNCIL
Little Matters of Importance Come
Up Before Last Official Meeting
of Present Body

The last regular meeting of the
city council during the office of the
present council was held Thursday
evening and proved to be a short,
featureless affair. At it's close the
council adjourned to meet on Monday
evening, May 2, when Mayor-elect
Parkin and Alderman-elect Frank
Gray and We. E. Rider will take their
oaths of office and assume their re-
spective chairs. At this meeting Mr..
Parkin will announce his list of ap-
pointments to the various city offices
The offices to be filled by the new
mayor are city clerk, police chief
policemen, water collector, street COM
missioner, pailer, janitor, city engi-
neer and one or two other minor Of
fices.
At the council meeting Thursday
night the first matter to come VI
was in regard to the responsibility
for the maintenance of the bridge OF
South Church street over the mil
canal. Superintendent A. J. Busch O.

PEA CANNERY GETTING
READY FOR SEASON

The officials of the Bozeman
pea cannery have already started
overhauling the machinery in the
local factory, preparatory to the
seasons run of green peas. 1t has
been announced that some three
to four hundred acres of peas will
be planted in the valley this year,
which will produce something like
10000 cans of peas. The company
expects a better and more stable
market for its goods than the past
year has furnished and looks op-
timistically to the future of the
business.
Surprise, Perfection, Horsford
and Rice's 13 are the chief variet-
les that will be planted this year.
The Surprise variety is the earl
lest, the others maturing at lat
er date and thus keeping fresh
peas coming to the cannery as the
season advances.

Finley, who caught and played in
the outfield last year is showing up
well, Alquist holds down the bag in
good shape when not catching and
Sutherland and Schrupp are also in
the running.
The balance of the infield is equally
good. Little McCarren is again ca.

CUT WORMS ARE BUSY

Old Array Cut Worm Working in the
Western Part of County

The old and familiar friend of the
farmer, the army cut worm, that has
done untold damage to crops in every
part of Montana is again in the
wheat fields of Gallatin county ac-
cording to reports from the Clarks-

tricts are the earliest part of the
county and the ravages Of the worm
can be expected elsewhere as soon as
the season progresses a bit more.
In some places the cut worms are
not numerous, while in others they
are extremely thick. Unlike its

FEDERAL PLANES
MAY VISIT BOzEMAN
Inquiry Received Regarding Landing
Field Available for Army Planes
MAPPING OFFICIAL ROUTE
Army Men Planning to Photograph
and Mark Aerial Highway IN
Northwestern States

Secretary Harader of the chamber
Of commerce is in receipt OF a COM
nunication from Major B. NJ. Atkin-
son, commanding the Mater Field at
Sacramento, California, which states
that some government planes will pro-
badly some to Bozeman this summer
while photographing and marking an
aerial route through the northwest
ern states and asking information re-
garding the landing facilities avail
able. Enclosed in the letter was
list of questions which have been I'LL
ed out and returned to the field head
quarters.
The fact that the government is to
make an official survey Of an areo-
plane route, coupled with the Organi-
cation of the Yellowstone Aero route,
as reported in another column, shows
the increasing commercial Importance
OF a landing place in Bozeman and
emphasizes the need of completing the
fair grounds for that purpose at the
earliest possible date. When the
Bozeman landing field is complete 1t
will have official markers and all IA
cilities for proper landing of planes
and will be one of the best in the
state.
Following is the letter from Major
Atkinson, which is interesting parti-
cularly in regard to the specifications
asked for by the government:
Sacramento, Cal, April II, 1921.
Secretary, Chamber Of Commerce,

Dear Sir:
1t is contemplated sending a flight
Of three airplanes from this field
through the states of California, Ne
vada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Ida
no, Washington and Oregon for the
purpose Of photOgraphing and map
ping an aerial route through those
states.
in order that an itinerary of tht
route may be prepared, it is necessar!
to secure information as to suitable
landing fields, places where supplies
may be obtained, etc.
If you have a field at or near you
city that can be used to land ou
planes in, it viii be greatly appreciat
ed if you will fill in on the attaches

The first few weeks of the life Of l

and in getting organized and working |

definite policies have been outlined

body has gone ON record as favoring a |

Ivelopment may be spread over pc
riod of indefinite length, but the COM
mission has insisted that every plan
of improvement be made with the fu-
ture growth of the city borne in mind
so that future work can be done eco
nomically.
Some of the Projects.
one of the first matters ON which
a decision has been reached and a def
mite stand taken is the necessity of
the municipality acquiring property in
the west end for the purpose Of erect
/ ing a sceptic tank to take care of sew
! age disposal. This problem has con-
fronted the city for many years. Prop
Ierty is available to serve this purpose,
and in addition it lends itself to park
purposes according to the opinions
Expressed by members in meetings.
| I'VE must have a better auto park,
is a statement that has been made
many times by members and concur
| red in BY others of the commission
| and it is now tentatively planned to
use part of the property in the west
end for this purpose. In order to get
this ground cleared of rubbish now on
it where the city dumping grounds
have been established for a number of
years. it will be necessary to procure
another site for the dump grounds,
and a move is under way to~buy such
site.
Other Improvements Probable.
Ultimately it is thought that more
property will be added to the ground
already owned by the city in the east
end and that park will be laid out
which may finally become Pendleton's
real auto park. Fairgrounds for
children are pressing need the COM
mission thinks, and the development
of the new city park block may be IN
dertaken before long. The same plan
may be worked with a, part Of the
Z Round-Up park.
