Specimens of Gray Honkers Are
~ Wanted

Probably all the older sportsmen
who have hunted geese in North Da-
kota have had at one time or another
the opportunity to select from flock
of the Canada geese one or more that
have been very noticeably larger than
the others. Many have been shot
that would weigh Is or more pounds.
They were usually spoken of as the
big gray honker
Ornithologists have for a number of
years been working on the theory that
there is or has been breeding, general
ly speaking, in North Dakota, a type
OF the Branta Canadensis that was
distinct from the type described I'M
der that name. Early in the history
of the United States these birds were
found on the Atlantic coast. So far
as records have been kept none of the
coast specimens have weighed over
~ pounds, usually to 10 pounds.
The chief of the biological survey,
Hon. E. M. Nelson, Washington, D. c.,
and other are anxious to get some
specimens Of these large geese. Any
sportsman killing geese weighing over
13 pounds would confer a favor and
add something Of interest and value
to the Ornithological students if they
would send the specimens direct to
Washington addressed. as above, or
to. me. that they may be- prepared for
scientific study.
If any farmer having one or more
OF the Canadian geese, caught when
young or raised in captivity, would
send me word Of the fact, would
be pleased to look them over to de-
eide whether or not they would come
within the desired size and weights.
I would like to hear from sportsmen
who have killed these extra large

per ton. 1t cost him from $1,000 to
$500 to grow and store it. This
year the cotton crop was practically a
failure, due to the high water. On
thirty acres he picked but three bales
where he should have had 80. Owing
to high freight rates they get practi-

Provided he gets something in the
way of a ranch to his liking he will

GUIDE EDITOR GOT BAG LIMIT


GUIDE EDITOR GOT BAG LIMIT
w. S. Graham, editor and publisher
of the Watford Guide, who permits
himself to be known and freely hailed
by the informal nickname of BILL"
aims to keep up with his reputation
for goodfellowship by never emitting
to tell good story on himself when
the opportunity is presented. The lat
est case in point is that of his recent
duck hunt. This is the way Bill's lat
est issue Of The Guide tells it:
"The Guide editor enjoyed a splen-
did duck hunt the other evening at the
lakes northeast of town. He stood in
the mud and water and hip boots up
to just above his prosperous looking
front for about three hours and shot
four or five boxes Of shells. The ducks
were circling overhead in clouds, and
any ordinary shot who could pot a fly
with fly swatter would have had no
difficulty in getting the limit. 1t was
child's play.
"When almost too dark to see the
editor fired his last shot at the quack
Of ereen-head and began to gather
in his ducks. These ducks he tied to
gether with stout cord and throw
ing them over his shoulder waded out
to his flivver. If there is anyone who
imagines that ten large wooden NAL
lard decoy ducks are not load fo'
one man, he's crazy. Ten of them is
the editors limit, anyway. Most mer
would find it difficult to pack these ter
decoys across a stubble field, not to
mention packing them thru a quar-.
ter Of mile of lake with one wadel
full to overlooking and the other half
full of water.
"Some day some one is going tc
discover in that lakebed more little
round pellets than there are rubles in
Russia. The discovery ,of that leaC
mine will doubtless arouse the curios-
ity of all in his community until some
great authority on ancient history ex-
plains that the little round balls are
missiles which some one Of a diminu:
tive race, who was camped in that
community in prehistoric times threw
at dangerous wild fowl that infested
the waters at that time. Everybody
would say that that historian was ar
old liar if he told that some fat editor
had covered that lake bottom with
lead in order to make it easy for him
to pack out ten wooden mallard ducks
Amt it the limit ?"

SUNSHINE TRAIL
TO Be PLACED
In Blue BOOK
Will Be Mapped and Routed for
Listing at Once, Frank
Announces.

The Sunshine trail. north and south
highway between Butte and Lethbridge,
Alta, sponsored by the Alberta Mon
tana Highway association, viii be
mapped and routed at oncec for the
Blue Book, according to E. K. Frank,
western representative, who was in the
city Wednesday in connection with the
work.
The logging of the route for an accu-
rate description in the new Blue Book
means much in the recognition given
the new highway, it was said. In ad-
dition TO this work, Frank will check
the present log of the Y-G Bee Line
to Glacier park and other main trav-
eled highways.
Activities of highway associations n
the west, the well marked routes and
the natural independence of western
drivers makes impracticable the making
of Blue Books to cover minor routes
of the west. Frank said. This work
has been discontinued since the re-
cent era Of highway associations.
Best Book Sales In East
The chief sale of Blue Books is to
eastern tourists and by far the greater
proportion of them are sold in the east,
be said. The first call is for the trans
continental routes.
Work on any side trips or shorter
highways of the states of the west has
not been done for several years." Frank
said. $50 we'll are the highways marked
that we realize It is enough for our
Blue Books TO lead the motorist to
them. Once on the route, the motorist
has no difficulty. The eastern motorist
likes the Blue Book because it gets him
through the towns. That's the big diff
ficulty of the tourist in the west. You
mark the country roads so carefully,
then turn the motorist loose in the
city to wander about asking residents
for a way to get out.
Praises Western Roads
people in the north and northwest
hear motorists grumble about bad roads
and sometimes you get the idea that
you have some bad ones. I've been
travelling in this work the last IL years
and / can tell you that they aren't
bad. l have Just driven up from Denver
and find that there is a pretty fair road
all the way from Denver to Great
Falls. Take some of those southern
transcontinental roads Across the
state of Nevade the Lincoln highway
isn't even a trail. It's like the equator
an imaginary line drawn across the
state"
From his work out of Great Falls
Frank will make a jump to California,
where he plans some work and will en-
deavor to complete logging some noun
tain roads before winter sets in.

OIL SHOWING
IS REPORTED
AT ZIMMERMAN
Well Down 1,400 Feet; Shaffer
and Mid-NOrthern Go to
Lower Sands.

Special to The Tribune.
Shelby, Sept. 20.-A good showing
of oil was reported in the Sunburst-
Zimmerman well, which was drilling at
1.4O0 feet Wednesday afternoon.
With the Zimmerman drilling to the
lower sands Wednesday afternoon were
the Shaffer, on section 1882 w, and
the Mid Northern, on the Dawson-Mer-
kle tract in section 1852 w. The
Mid Northern was reported to be at
1,45O feet and the Shaffer at 1850
feet.

been completed. The cellar has been
dug for the California-Smoke and all
material is on the ground.

Mortified Secures
Oil S~howings; Down
Nearly 1000 Feet

Drilling is being continued at the
GenOu well of the Mortified Oil COM
pany with the drill approaching the
2.O00-foot mark. officials of the con-
Germ announced Wednesday. The drill
was down 1910 feet Tuesday and it
was expected that 80 feet would be
drilled Wednesday.
Showings of oil have been brought up
by the bailer for several days, it was
said. and the next 100 feet are expect
ed to approximately complete the test
of the location. although to penetrate
the Ellis would require deeper drilling
than that.
The drill passed through the first
.Kootenai at 1860 feet and then encoun-
tered 40 feet of white lime. Below
this was a blue shale for a depth of
g feet and since then the bit has been
in the upper sand of the second Koot-
enai. The pan separating the two low
err Kootenais is thought TO be immedi-
ately below the drill at it's present
depth and when this is drilled through
the we'll will have developed its most
interesting stage.
Comparison of the Genou well with
other tests in the north field show that
the Mortified has not encountered
water at depths at which it has ap-
peared in different locations, but that
At Fort Benton, Fowler, Vimy Ridge
and one or two other locations water
was found at horizons through which
the Mortified already has passed with
a dry hole.

PLACING VETS
ON JOBS Gets
l. S.ATTENTION
With Men Trained Next Step Is
Securing Employment at
Their Trades.

Now that Uncle Sam has trained
many of the men who were disabled
in the war to be self-supporting, the
government is concerning itself with
the business of finding them employ
ment and has already placed large
numbers of rehabiitated ex-service
men in positions which they are com
petent to fill. says Louis Undem, Jr.,
Montana employment representative
Of the United States veterans bureau,
who was in Great Falls Wednesday
from Helena.
Employment Bureau New
The bureaus employment depart
ment. is something new and as yet has
not developed its organization to the
point that will be reached within a
short time. Agent Undem now is
working through commercial clubs, the
Legion and the American
Red Cross and is placing as many men
employment is obtained for through
these sources, but it is intended that
in the near future the bureaus oppor-
t~unities for getting in touch with en-
ployers will be further improved.
THE bureau holds" said Undem at
the offices of l.. J. Molumby, state
commander of the legion. that en-
ployers are morally bound to give a
disabled man a chance where possible
but, once employment is procured for
a candidate, no favors are asked for
him. He is expected to prove his eff
cheney and keep his job after the same
fashion as other employees. In many
cases, though, it is to the advantage Of
the graduate to have practical expert
ence before accepting permanent en-
ployment and it frequently works out
to the advantage of the employer when
are first placed.
Give Practical Experience
When it is considered to the gradu-
advantage, the government main
tains him for a short time while he is
gaining practical experience, and the
employer receives whatever value may
accrue from his services without cost
The system is proving well worth
while, and men who have been alb
sorbed after procuring a position in
way generally are realizing sub
stantially on their training"
Courses are given by the govern
rnent in more than 100 lines, and grad
yates are being sent out in increasing
numbers, Undem said. Plans are be-
ing laid to get more closely in touch
with the larger employees and it hoped
before winter this will be a means
of placing many men who have COM
pleted their courses. Undem will leave
today for Havre and other points in
the northern part of the state
