the crowd justified.
Livestock Parade
A livestock parade was Dlanned
today, with exhibition of prize winn-
ers. sThe livestock show Is the distinct
feature OF the exhibits, with especial
interest directed to dairy cattle.
An unusual feature which attracted
much attention was the demonstration

ton county, and Miss Bertha Nelson,
of Grant county, nurses, who have ex-
amined many children and have point
ed out defects which may be remedied.
The nurses also had established rest

which continue to attract great at
tention, was dance in laudation of
the memory of Albert Grass and an
other young Indian who gave their

chase of heavy piece Of apparatus.
The specifications which were adopted
by the city, limits the bidding to
heavy equipment.

Montana, in letter to The Tribune,

ed highly satisfactory. Great Falls

A. B. Social

The first social affair to be given this season by any of the fraternal organizations was held last night at the Redmen lodge rooms by the Arctic Brotherhood. Owing to the fact that the city water had been shut off all day for repairs and could not be turned on until a late hour which, in turn, prevented the oper- ating of the light plant, it looked for a time as if there would be no party. It seemed difficult to post. pone the affair, however, as all ar- engagements had been made and the committee decided to go ahead If possible.
 It was past 10 o'clock when the lights were flashed on and num- Der of the invited guests and mem- bers of the A. B. had already re. tired but others continued to arrive for some time. Owing to the late ness of the hour, the card party which was to have preceded the supper and dance was given up and the dancers left at once for the Star land hall where they tripped the light fantastic to excellent music by Bidwell and Scribner until sup. per was announced. Meanwhile, those who cared to play cards re- mained in the lodge rooms. A de- licious lunch was served in the dining room after which dancing and cards were resumed for time, and the evening as a whole was very pleasant although it was a matter of regret that the party could not have begun earlier and been carried out as planned. The com mittee consisted of Sam Cunning ham. Arnt Sorset, o. Gunderson, George Bidwell, and Harry McCor- mack and Jim Nolan had charge of the culinary department.

 The bird was placed in a show win dow on the main street in the Kan sas town. For five hours he scratched and crowed for provender, which was not forthcoming. Then 1000 grains of tempting yellow corn were spread be- fore him. Guesses as to how many grains of corn it would take to assuage his hunger were sold at ten cents each. In three hours Mir. Rock had gulped 2S3 kernels of Kansas corn and re- tired for the night. Then he was sold

POST GETS ARTISTIC RANGE
Chicago Organization Acquires Use of Famous Worlds Fair Field
 Museum Building.

The American Legion will soon have the use of building known to mill lions in America as the embodiment of beauty in art and architecture, the old Fine Arts building of the 1893 Worlds Fair. The crack of army rifles will be heard in the famous structure, for it has been turned over to the Hyde Park post, No. 34, of the Legion in Chicago, as an indoor rife range.
 The large edifice, known as the old Field museum after the Worlds fair, was evacuated with the completion of the new Field museum. Various or gamzations of Chicago immediately besieged the park commissioners for permission to use the building, but the Legion posts request alone was granted.
 Legionnaires now have a rifle range de luxe, one that will tend to erase the veterans memories of sweltering days, shivering days and cold, moist days spent in trying to locate the bullseye on the army's outdoor fir ing points. The building is so large that a 200-yard range was established without difficulty, along with the shorter distances.

Engineering Party
 Has Narrow Escape

Donald G. Campbell, engineer for the Wrangell Pulp and Paper Company, and the party that went out to Bradfeld Canal with him. Wallace Sinclair, Jerry Shurick, Johnny Choquette and. George Shakes, had a decidedly narrow es- cape from death last week when a slide occurred on the mountain on the slope Of which they were camp ing.
 The men had selected a grassy spot near a small lake for their camp, and, finding the water rising to an extraordinary degree from the late heavy rains, had moved their tent to higher ground twice. About one o'clock in the night, they were awakened from their sleep by terrific noise. Hurrying out, they found that the entire noun tain seemed to be coming down on them as boulders and debris were crashing down both sides. Above them large tree, had caught and held a log and this divided the slide, saving the camp from de- struction and the men from death. A bean-pot left outside of the tent little 10 one side was covered to debth of 10 feet by the debris and the entire face of the mountain was changed in appearance. The fact that the camp had been moved because of the rising water in the lake appears to have been the only thing that saved it from being cov- cred also.
 Some hours later, when the men went to the boat which had been anchored at the foot of the noun tain in the creek, only the mast was visible and part of their supplies were ahoat. The boat had been swamped by the logs and debris against the anchor chain. MT. Campbell was in the first of the week and another boat was taken out to Bradheld.
