 And I'm going up to the cleanup squad to try to get it, anyway" put in the ex-soldier.
 Wherever cattlemen meet Mrs. Gould is known. but to them she is known as "Tex Hayes" She has lived on ranches all over the western states and has competed in rodeos in Pendleton, Ore; Calgary, Alta, Chey- enne, Wyo,; Miles City, Mont; Fort Worth Texas, and the Flathead Res- ervation.
 Included in the many trophies she has won for riding is a set of spurs presented by the late Theodore Roose- welt. These she still has in her pos sesion, but she has given most of the nluG OF Cel SduulcS dilu plluiCo ShC won to comrades of the range.
 'I have also worked in Yellowstone Park, riding for the dudes" said Mrs. Gould. q used to teach dudes with one, eyeglass and old ladies how to ride. Some of them had to get on the horse with stepladders. They all liked me though and got all kinds of tips. 7+' ,.-
 "I have always worked hard on ranches breaking horses and riding: I have ridden horses since I coun get into the saddle, and it is the only life for me-"
 An attractive capable-looking wom- an. Mrs. Gould is now twenty-eight years old. She has several sisters in California and Chicago. She has not seen any of them for eighteen years or more.

WEALTH FAILS LURE HEIRESS
 FROM RANCH

BILLINGS, Mont, Feb. 2S. - In small tarpaper-covered shack ill the north end of the city Mrs. John A. Gould ("Tex Hayes'D, heiress to half million dollars, is dreaming of the ranch she intends bullying near Bill tugs.
 That's all want" she told a news- paper man.
 About forty years ago, Mrs. Gould's grandfather, Matt Hayes, started ranching near Amarillo, Texas. and he gradually increased his holdings until the Lazy-Z ranch was one of the larg- est in the country. His holdings GOV cred fifteen or twenty miles at least, that being the distance she often rode, and then she did not cover the whole territory, Mrs Gould said.
 Grandfather Hayes died some years ago, and his son and Mrs. Gould's mother were killed in an automobile accident in Fort Worth in 1910. Re gently oil was struck on tho ranch.
 Mrs. Gould, then Alice Hayes, left home when young girl and while she knew relatives were advertising for her four years ago. she did not re- turn

 While in a secondhand store buying furnishings for her small home a friend called her attention to a news. paper story in which her brother was making inquiries for her. The story said that s5OO00O was waiting for her.
 What do you intend doing with the money?" the newspaper man asked.
 "I intend buying ranch near Bill lings," was the quick reply. "The only place I would be happy would be on a ranch"
 Do you plan taking trip, say to Europe?"
 "The United States is good enough for me-" she answered emphatically. But I might go to bonnie Scotland. Jack Cher husband) came from Scot land, and my mother was school ma'arm" in Scotland. She took me there when I was about eleven years old. But" as an afterthought, "1 have to get the jack first.

Mining Stock Quotations
UNOYH1I

| Some people get more than others when they take their dearest possession to the pawnshop to get loan. Mary
 Malloy, for instance, got trouble, but the trouble led to romance.
 Mary Malloy is the little Cinderella
 heroine of "The Magic Cup" Con- stance Binney's picture. The story is from the pen of K. Lloyd Sheldon. and deals with the adventures of a cheery little kitchen maid in New York hotel.
 She is an orphan, and her one valu- 1 able possession is an old silver gob- let left by her mother, who has told her always to keep it, as it was fam lily heirloom.
 Mary doesn't know much about family trees, but she knows a lot about poverty, and more than once she has temporarily surrendered her treasured cup to the pawn broker to get money to help some of her friends, worse off than herself There comes day when notor- ious crook sees Mary in the pawnshop, recognizes the crest on her silver cup as that of a distinguished British fam fly, and frames plot to "restore" the girl to a bogus grandfather and use her as an unconscious tool in a big fake jewel deal.
 How this plot almost succeeds and is foileA in t'le rick of time ''y 2 cub reporter who cablee :ho real ylmily and incidentally restores Mary to her real grandfather, makes a pleasant and wholesome story which provides clean entertainment for old and young as Constance Binney's pictures always do. "The Magic Cup" will be shown at the Empress theater tonight. Also two-reel comedy. You'll Be Sur prised."

URGE SENATORS

Mayor Seeks Active Interest of Nc
Cormick and Mckinley in Sen.
ate on Housing Bill.

Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver today
wired Illinois Senators Medill Nc
Cor1nick and William B. Mckinley
as follows relative to the Graham
housing bill:
"Thirty-eight thousand people
of this city exceedingly anxious that
Graham housing bill snouid pass
the senate. Will you please work
for and support the measure?"
The move was taken on sugges-
ton from Congressman W. ]. Gra-
ham Wednesday evening. The
mayor is also asking that the East
End Improvement association, of
which many members are owners
of the government houses, send let
ters and kilograms urging the SEN
ate to support the. bill fostered by
Congressman Graham
This bill has passed the house
and on its approval by the senate
rests the issue of whether or not
this city is to be paid about $4,000
by congressional appropriations for
pavements laid in the government
housing district and also money in
lieu of city taxes for the years
1919 and 1920.
The taxes for 1919 were met by
such a payment but in the case Of
payment for 1920 and 1921 the
United States Housing corporation
claimed that it had no money.
Unless the housing bill goes
through the city will lose this
money and it is also deemed prob
able that the city would be forced
to assume payment for the pave
ments.
