Change Route From Logging Creek
TO the RiCevi||e- -Kibbey Canyon Road

estry and state highway officials anc
the highway constructed will be
standard 16-foot gravel road, which
will permit part of the $50, 900 pre-
viously available for the Sluice Box
road to be used in improvement of the
road up the Riceville hill. The plans
advocated by Crenshaw would be for
100-foot radius curves on the 16-foot
road and for the same construction
on the Riceville hill as far as the fund
left after the first work is completed
Mr.. Crenshaw pointed out that the
Kibbey canyon route is preferable, as
it will be less dangerous, easier of
construction and less expensive in
maintenance A month will be neces-
sary before his recommendations can
be approved by his department, and it
will probably be next spring before
work is started, he said. 1t represents
about four or five months of work for
completion.
The news of the change in route
was received in this section of the
county with considerable satisfaction,
for the reason that tn Riceville-
Monarch route viii be a general pur-
pose road rather than purely tours&t
highway as would the Logging Creek
Monarch route. 1t makes practically
certain that the Arlington Riceville
road, for which bids are expected to
be advertised for shortly, will be built
according to standard federal specifi-
cations and giving many farmers
along Upper Belt creek an all-yeaF
road into Belt instead of the present
road which is impossible to heavy
hauling much of the season. 1t will
also serve many farmers living in one
of the richest agricultural sections Of
the county, lying between Riceville
and Monarch, and at the same time
will afford scenic route but little
less beautiful than tho abandoned
route
The news of the change in route was
received in Monarch Sunday with con-
siderable rejoicing, as it is realized
that it will mean considerable to that
town in the way of trade.

take students or teachers to room and
board they are requested to notify the
superintendent. There are also num-
Der Of students who would like to work
their way through school, and Mr..
Culver would like to hear from anyone
who could give student such a place.
The superintendent also calls at
tention to the fact that the local
seheel levy was not FaiseAene mill this
year, as published, but remains the

AgriCuIturist Locating Prize Win
ming Exhibits for Local. State Fairs

Ralph Oertli, High school agricul
turist-,in travelling about in the inter.
est Of the local agricultural and stock
xhibit to be held on September 20
has located some grain and vegetables
which he believes stand a good chance
Of not only carrying off some good
prizes at the state fair the following
week, but also of winning some Of the
special prizes which are Offered and
which are well worth going after. Be-
cause of the fact that so much Of his
time is required in town, he has not as
vet got around as much as he would
like, but will before long.
Speaking of grain exhibits which
will be- seen here and which will be en-
tered at Helena in the expectation Of
bringing home prizes, he says that
Frank Shirley has some wheat that
surely should stand a good chance.
Then there will be grain exhibits from
the Haney & Condor ranch five miles
from Raynesford, managed by Mrs.
Kate Watson, and from the Edwards
ranch near Monarch, and forage ex-
hibits from the Tolliver ranch in Belt
Park, as well as numerous local ex-
hibits Of grains, grasses, vegetables
and livestock
Mr.. Oertli says that the Haney *
Condor field of 100 acres is about the
heaviest he ever saw. He was driving
by when he noticed the field and stop
ped to investigate The wheat stands
five feet high all over the 100 acres
and he believes it will make close to
30 bushels to the acre. Roy L. Fish,
whose ranch adioins this field. has 40
acres that win make as heavy yield, |
ne believes Both arc of the finest +
9uality.
Exhibits are wanted Of both thFesh-
I'd and sheaf grain Of all kinds, one
lalf bushel of thresbed grain being re- /
Euired; 10 ears Of corn and ~ potatoes

Opefationto Begin
at the Local Mines

While word of the definite settle
ment of the coal strike was not re.
ceived in this city from Billings until
Monday evening, preparations for the
production of coal had been under way
for nearly a week, and in one or two
instances coal was being produced un-
der concession granted by the union
to supply threshing machines and local
schools and hospitals for several days
Local mines began clearing their en-
frances. cleaning up falls, repairing
tracks and getting their machinery in
shape as soon as settlement seemed
probable and within a day or two
now coal will be going over the tipples.
At the G. W Merkle Coal company
mine. the big producer here, the fans
were started a week ago yesterday and
a couple Of days later a crew went in
to do repair and replacement work.
Another crew started overhauling the
motors Monday morning and yester-
oay r-.0rning the miners went in. Ii is
not expected that any coal will be sent
over the tipple until tomorrow or Sat
urday, but from then on production
will be increased until the maximum is
reached, it is thought by the manage
ment. While no order has yet been
received, the Great Northern railroad,
which in the past has taken the output
of this mine, Tuesday morning set in
80 g -.
alton for the shipment of coal.
The Calone {: Johnson, Millard and
Brodie mines also are practically ready
10 begin producing coal. and as
heavy demand for coal for domestic
purposes is certain, these mines also
are planning for maximum production
as soon as possible.
The horses and mules from the !
Tracy mine, which have been on pas
.ure here during the summer, were 1
AIKEN TO the mine yesterday in pre- /
,aration to resume operations there.
The agreement signed at Billings
'enews the wage contract and working
.onditions at the point of expiration
when the men were called out April 4.
n a statement made, Robert Condor,
ecretary of the miners union, said
Ie considered the settlement great
-ictory for the miners and organized
abor.

Belt Ball Team Makes ii 4 Straight
by Taking Sundays Double Header

TO one, so it was decided to play an
extra inning and Belt succeeded in
scoring one more run, making it 2 to 1.
The game started with goose eggs
on both sides for couple of innings,
when Culver drove out three bagger
and when the catcher dropped the ball
slid safely home. However, he would
have scored anyway as Buehler hit
sharp single a moment later between
third and short.
! In the beginning of the eighth John
Jaap hit between first and second and
when the right fielder let the ball
get by him easily scored. Fischer and
Kjose worked for Belt, 16 of the min
ers whiting
In the Cascade game Fischer was
again in the box for Belt and Kjose
behind the bat, and were given good
support in both the in and outfields.
1t was battle royal between the bat
teries, Belt having little the best of
it, while Cascades battery received
a little better support, especially in
the outfield. The first inning resulted
in a shut out for both teams, while in
the second couple of costly errors
allowed the visitors to send three men
across the plate, Belt again being shut
out in this inning, but tying the score
in the third. Then for two innings
both pitchers frightened up and allowed
no hits. In the sixth Cascade sent a
eoupAe f.a zero svFssen1 kessse, Bsat
bringing in three in it's half and in the
seventh Cascade got its final score
Belt succeeding in bringing home
three more during the remainder of
the game.
Shortly after the close of this game
the Dairy Products and Belt teams
took the field, Buehler going in the
box for the locals and pitching five in
nings. The visitors scored only in two
innings, two in the first and three In
the third, while Belt brought In nine
during the game. In the sixth Fischer
relieved Buehier, pitching shut-out
ball. This game was played as
feature of the Scandinavian Brother
hood picnic held in the park Sunday,
and Belt by winning IL pulled down a
s25 purse hung up by the Brother
hood The picnic drew large num-
Der Of people and both games were
played to good audiences.
The locals have no game scheduled
for the coming Sunday as yet, but
on September 8 play Highwood at
Highwood, and the next day, Labor
Day, meet Geyser here. Cascade Is
planning a baseball tournament for
the middle of September and has ir-
vited Belt and Stockett to participate.
There is a plan on foot now for the
organization of league for next sum-
mer, to include either four or six
teams, four from Cascade county OUT
side of Great Falls and probably High
wood and Raynesford This plan viii
be developed during the coming win
ter.
The expense of maintaining a ball
team makes 1t necessary that an ad-
fee be collected hereafter
from all adults, and from now on 26
cents will be expected from each adult.

By winning their two games on the
local grounds Sunday, defeating Cas-
cade in the first by a score of 8 to 6,
and the Great Falls Dairy Products
team in the second by a 9-5 score, the
Belt baseball team gained their fourth
successive victory and drove home the
fact that this city has an organization
of ball tossers, if it can be kept intact,
able to give good account of them
selves in any company in this part Of
the state. The team has been strength
ened by the addition of Joe Fischer
and Burney Kjose of North Dakota,
and 0'Hare and Wooliscroft Of Sand
Coulee, the first two forming the bat
terry, o'Hare on short and Wooliscroft
on second.
On Friday evening the team jour

Of seven innings, and succeeded in
trimming the Stockett team on its
home grounds TO 1. At the end of
