ment, in which he said:
"New symptoms arising

plications in the case of the

physicians has been called.
After this consultation has
been completed, bulletins
will be issued regularly for

lic."
Silent on Symptoms.
What the new symptoms
were DR.. Sawyer declined to
state.
It was considered impor-
tant, however, that DR.. Coo
per, a noted heart special
list, has been called in. His
presence was interpreted as
meaning that the Presidents
heart had been affected fol-
lowing his illness from pto-
maine poisoning, with which
he was stricken Friday. This
illness, coming after forty
days and nights of constant
travelling, is believed to have
reduced the President to a
weakened condition.

The Independent confesses it has
no sympathy with the movement
started by q member of the House,
who has introduced bill to abolish
the office Of chancellor Of the Greater
University Of Montana.
II Montanans will permit their
minds to revert only a few short
years, they will remember the trouble
which existed among the state educa-
tional institutions. There was pulling
and hauling at cross purposes and al
most a condition of chaos existed
when the Legislature decided to create
the position Of chancellor and place
all the institutions under one direct
ing head.
Moreover, those members of the

Coal Situation Is
Only Temporary

The coal. mines have been shut
down for the most part during the
last week and this week the Merkle
mines are scheduled to work only two
days. AS result Of this many OF
the younger miners have given up
hope Of steady work this spring and
are preparing to leave for other coal
fields.
We were somewhat pessimistic our
selves until we had talk with man
who is in close touch with the situa-
tion and knows. He assured US the
present situation is only temporary
and that within short time the min
ers will be working full time again.

The town basketball team will play

night or on Saturday night of hits

Friday night but the players wish to
see the game between the high school
and Lewistown and have asked to
have the game changed until Satur-

For the preliminary game at High

the supervision of Scout Master Gray
bill will make the trip for contest
with the Highwood scouts, who are
under the leadership Of Scout Master

that the condition of the roads will
not cancel their games.

Maggie Hunters
Meet and Feed
on the Losers

On Friday night last after the bas-
ketbAll game, about 20 members Of
tie Belt Rod and Gun club met in 90
cisl session in the X. P. hall, the VIC
torious Maspie Hunters to feast and
tie losers to eat crow, figuratively
speaking.
The defeated ones furnished 4
bountiful supply of sandwiches, cof-
Tee, ice cream and cake, which was
devoured by the winners to the tune
Of jibes and jeers at the Workmanship
and hunting ability of the losers, who
retorted in kind and asserted that
they had not provided themselves
with the proper ammunition. They
claimed that if they had supplied
themselves with an adequate amount
OF dimes, quarters, naif-doiIars and
iron men as the victorious ones did
instead of the paltry number eight
shot which they used, the result might
have been different. In reply to this
the victors helped themselves to an
other sandwich in one hand, another
piece of cake with the other and Just
grinned.
The meeting was an amicable one
notwithstanding and high good humor
prevailed.
A business meeting was held at
which plans for the nxet season were
discussed, ways and means of raising
money, how it is cheaper to let your
neighbor keep hunting dog through
out the year and pay the dog tax. At
hunting season borrow him and it
saves worry and expense. The rela-
tive efficacy Of carbide and dynamite
as methods of fishing were then de-
bated, the argument bringing forth
many supporters for each side. Some
of the club opposed the use of either,
asserting that since the opposite side
had been so successful after magpies
they did not see why a silver hook
would not be efficacious, and the win
ners just gFinned.
Just enough serious business was
transacted at this meeting 10 remind
the members that after all the club
has serious purpose, that Of pro-
tecting the game and fish Of the state
and ridding the country of those ami
mails which are a menace to stock
and game.

Baseball Dance
at RaynesfOrd Is
H0wIing SUCCESS

The Baseball dance at Raynesford
last Saturday night was bowling
success, socially and financially. One
hundred and twenty-seven dance tick
cts were sold and the boys cleared
about $500 for the baseball season.
The RaynesfGd baseball team will
blossom out this spring in their new
suits like pansy bed and we have no
doubt but that they will have many
applications from Belt boys for per-
mission to wear one of them.
The music was donated by the
Raynesford orchestra, which sonsists
of H. d. Harmon, Henry Vaskey, Earl
Watson and w. Stamy. Archie Nc
Innis and Charles Fish were floor
managers, Joe McInnis and George
Kosesky sold tickets, Cyril Colarchic
ran the check room, Mrs. j. H. Vas
key, Mrs. Steve Colarchic and Miss
Laura McInnis presided over the
lunch while the baseball boys waited
on the table.
Quite large number wore, -beauti-
full, grotesque or bizarre masquerade
costumes. John Visocan carried off
the prize for the best dressed gentle
man, and Sylvia Colarchic won the
corresponding prize for the best
dressed lady.
Cars came from Neihart, Geyser
Monarch, Belt, Great Falls
and the surrounding country.
Each one enjoyed himself as they
always do at Raynesford and the mu-
sic never faltered until 4 a. m, when
the strains of Home, Sweet Home, |
