POTOSI EVENTS
General Items of Interest
Gathered by Our Special
Correspondent.

1t has been rumored for many
weeks past that Charles J. Ragatz,
cashier of the Potosf State Bank, in
tended to remove from Potosi to make
his future home in Los Angeles, Calf.
Many disbelieved the rum.or. Howev-
err, it is a regrettable fact He has
resigned as cashier of the bank to
take effect Nov. 1st., and on or about
Dec 1st. he with his family will bid
gOOdby to their countless friends in
FotOsi and surrounding. We are not
inclined to flattery but have this to
say: The departure of Mr.. and Mrs.
RagatZ removes very popular and
valuable citizens from our midst
Charlie" Ragatz, as he is Familiarity
known. came to Potosi to assume the
responsibilities of cashier of the new
organized bank eighteen years ago.
He has since performed the duties in
faithful and impartial manner and
to the satisfaction of everyone who
had dealings with him. or the bank.
1t can be truthfully said that, he is
strictly honest and never attempted
to take advantage of any person or
persons. Is pleasant and sOclable to
a degree always ready to do favor
or give advice to whoever called on
him for such. He is we'll yersed in
matters of law and his opinions have
never been turned down. He will be
missed by the innumerable friends to
whom he has endeared himself in his
eighteen years residence in Potosi.
Few will miss him more than the
writer Mr. Ragatz has always taken
an active interest in everything per-
tanning to the welfare of Potosi and
his counsels were adhered to. Mrs.
Ragatz, the accomplished daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs Adam Schumacher,
now residents of Los Angeles, was
born and reared in Potosi and has a
host Of friends who will miss her
pleasant and cheerful countenance.
But such is the way of the world.
The best Of friends must part Mr..
Ragatz Will be succeeded as cashier
of the bank by A. G. Kiefer, who for
the past five years has been assistant
cashier of the Bellevue State bank at
Bellevue, Iowa. Mr. Kiefer comes to
Potosi highly recommended and it is
sincerely hoped that he will prove to
be worthy successor to the not soon
to be forgotten Charlie Ragatz. Mr..
Ragatzs future plans have not been
divulged

BEST GRID PLAY
BY SOL METzGER

Wet day, ball In your possessio"'
fourth down, opponents 4o-yard line,
10 yards to 90 and your team behind
one touchdown. Obviously, the situa-
ton confronting you is much different
than the one cited yesterday You
need a touchdown and should strive
for that end. You have to take big
chances. The opponents surely expect
a forward pass. Kicking goals here
is not to be considered on a wet field
and a goal would not help. This is one
position where a team should have an
onside kick, preferably n from a
running attack. Shoot the kick to the
wide side of the field and some % yards
down the field. Such a kick will clear
the defensive backs backing up the
line and then roll, so that the defensive
quarterback will find it hard to handle.
Your onside players have a fair chance
of recovery. The play is unexpected
to say the least. 1t is the best chance
you have to tie the score. Of course,
you can pass, but successful passes on
wet days against teams expecting a
forward pass are unlikely to occur.

State Fish Bureau
Report VIII Be Sur
prise, Says Brunson
Snecial 10 The Tribune.

Anaconda. Oct. GA surprise
awaits the sportsmen of Montana when
the report of the state bureau of fish
cries makes its appearance in the near
future, according to superintendent
]. Fl. Brunson of Helena, who was in
Anaconda Friday.
The report overs the seasons of
1921 and 1922, during which time the
affairs of the Montana game depart
ment were under the jurisdiction of q
state fish and game commission. Dur
ing the two-year period, an output of
in excess OF 76,000,0 900 fish was han
died. With the exception of the gray
ling and whitefish, all fish planted
were in the lingering stage. None
was less han IN inch in length and
many were as large as six inches, the
general average being two and three
quarter inches.
"Fingerlings such as were the out
put of the state hatcheries and which
were furnished to the sportsmen of
the state free of cost, could not be
purchased on the open market for less
than SIS a thousand" Mr.. Brunson
said.
Besides the activities with trout and
~grayling, thousands of bass and sunfish
were sained from the sloughs and
ponds adjacent to the Flathead river
and planted in the warm water streams
in the northern and eastern parts OF
the state. where former efforts to raise
trout had been unsuccessful. Were ii
not for the action taken, the fish would
have persisted in the sloughs during the
summer months when the ponds became

North Side All-Stars
Accept Junior Champ
Challenge for Sunday

Claiming that the Thunderbolts arc
that only in name, the North Side ALI
Stars take it upon themselves to accept
the def hurled on Thursday by the
Horation Vigilantes. The challenge
from the latter eleven with the coiortul
gridiron monicker was for a game sun
day at Earring park for the junior
championship of the city. -
In support of their contention as tit
opponents, the North Side All-Stars
point NJ pride" as the party politl-
clans say %to their record to date. The
Thunderbolts fell in the dust before
their attack, IL to O. Then the Tigers
were encountered and the jungle king s
tail was twisted for a 30 to 0 victory.
The redoubtable Yankees fell next, ID
to O. The last game played was with
q Mystery eleven and the mystery
dispersed by a 6 to 0 count.
So it is only rightand just, according
to the North Side All-Stars, that these
Horation ~Vigilantes, who are combined
strength of the West Side and South
Side. Captain Heyne is declared the
skipper of gridiron destinies for the ac-
cepting team, and Ed. Martin bears the
title Of coach. The All-Stars also call
to attention that their goal line has
not been crossed by any junior football
team in the city.
Gene Williams. who carries on the
schedule chickering's for the Horation
Vigilantes, received the acceptance of
the North Siders and declares his team
will be on the Earring park field at
2 o'clock Sunday.

Helena High Playing
Blue and White Team
First Big Home Game
Capital City Mentor Declares His Eleven Fit for
Hard Contest; Murphy to Start at
Quarterback.

Capitol City against heavier all-star
elevens have. however, furnished hard
opposition which has shown up all the
weaknesses, both of offense and de-
Tense, and this is more than the Great
Falls team has had.
Coach Grant III. Hess and his squad
of Is arrived Friday night and quar-
tered at the Park hotel. The Helena
mentor declared his team all to be in
the best of shape and ready for the
hardest kind of a game. He opined
little except that advance press re-
ports stating that Great Falls would
meet with little opposition were way
off color, and indicated that Helena
had a few gridiron trumps up its sleeve
for today.
Kahn, an all-state end, who is the
receiving bulWHk on forward passes,
and Captain Howard Varney, who
plays tackle on the left side, are vet
Grams on whom Helena pins a lot of
hope. Woody, who plays the opposite
wing from Kahn, is another old man
who turned in a good season in 1921.
Lack of games. to date has resulted in
strenuous drill to develop an offensive
during the past week. and the coach
expresses himself as satisfied that a
battering attack of considerable merit
is ready for display.
Great Falls met its first real opposi-
ton at Butte last Saturday. when
Butte Central was nosed out by a 10
to Z score just before the final gong.
The Blue and White, learned a lot un-
der fire and has decided that scoring
is a slight Nferent when the other
team is harrassing backs on every
play. That game did more good than
the trio of long-end victories in the
preceding three weeks.
The Blue and White will start today
without Charters at quarterback. Muir
ply calling the signals. Although the
Slight s~ub-quarter doesn't measure to
Charters, he gets his team off on the
jump and drives them hard all the
way. Charters has a bad knee, not
at all serious, but Coach Crouch pre-
fers not to use him unless it is neees-
sary. Captain Baier has been both
cred with a stiff neck, but plans on
getting into the game.
The Helena line will average over
the 100 mark. with the backfield light,
averaging between $40 and 145. Great
Falls will, therefore, have the edge on
weight in both line and backfield.
1t is reported that a considerable
delegation Of Helena rooters will ar
rive this afternoon to send lusty en-
couragement to the Red and White
eleven, these in addition to several
automobile parties which came down
over the road yesterday.
