JUBILEE SINGERS
COMING

If you want to hear the old-time
negro melodies sung in the real old
negro way you should hear the Cali
fornia Jubilee Quartete. These four
gents come heralded as fun special
lists and crouch remoyers. Their rep
ertoire includes plantation melodies,
negro folk and jubilee songs, classi-
cal selections, humorous numbers
and popular airs-a varied program
to please the most critical. The old
melodies naturally hold the center
of attraction at the entertainment to
be given at Rex theatre October 9th
by the Jubilee Quartet under the
auspices of the American Legion.
The first tenor is a very clever car
toonist His original drawings are
humourous in the extreme and give
plenty of chance for merriment. The
second tenor is a guitarist and pro-
duces some very pleasing effects
when the quartet is singing the old
favorites The baritone is recognized
as one of the most accomplished
pldnlStS Oh his race. Ills group Vi
solos includes a difficult number for
the left hand. The basso-profundo
is an excellent reader, but his strong
point is his big, deep voice. We all
like to hear a basso sing down in
the depths, and this man goes way
down there. All the vocal soloists
and splendid quartet men with years
of experience back of them. This
combination of talent makes possible
an unusually varied program. Don't
fail to hear these Jubilee Jublers

At ODD FELLOWS HOME

Recently four more children have
been added to the Odd Fellows
Home at Reno, and are now COM
fortably established and attending the
public schools in that city. The
children are from Tonopah. Some
time ago they lost their father, and
the burden of taking care of five
was too much for the mother, so she
accepted the aid of the Odd Fellows.
She is working herself, and has kept
a two-year-old child with her. The
other four aged 4, Z, 8 and II, are
in the home in Reno.

v. & II. TO DISCONTINUE
VIRGINIA CITY MOTOR

A petition for permission to discon-
tinue motor service between Carson
City and Virginia City in October 10
was filed with the public service
commission by the Virginia &
Truckee Railway.
The approach of cold weather and
the fact that the motor service has
been Improbable are assigned by the
company as reasons for discontinue
ing the run.
The public service commission has
asked that If complaints against TAX
ing the motor off are to be filed that
they be filed Immediately.
The only service acered by the
petition filed is that given by the
company's track auto, which leaves
Carson at 9:45 a. m. and 6:10 p. m.
for the Comstock and on the return
trip leaves Virginia City at 1885

JOY In COUTTS WHEN IMPERIAL
WE'LL IS REPORTED IN OIL

The Imperial well, west of Coutts,
in 5-1-16, is reported to have struck
a good flow of crude oil. The little
border town of Coutts just across the
line from Sweetgrass, is seething with
excitement while rumors of an oil
strike persist. The Imperial No. i
we'll has been a puzzle to operators
and biologists in that it has gone
down 2,450 feet without striking
water, oil or gas. If an oil sand has
been encountered it will come as a
surprise.
The Imperial well west of Coutts
is reported to have shut down for
a time until facilities can be rugged
up to care for a good we'll when
drilled in, as a few feet more only
Is expected to bring it in. Land own
ers in the vicinity of the we'll, and
across the line on the Montana side,
are looking forward to the time when
they can cash in on their royalties.

WITH IS FEET OF CAVE IN THE
HOLE, OIL HAS BEEN GOING
OVER THE TOP
Is in 1882 and Sand Only just
Scratched; Beardslee Unique Fig
ure In Oil Game and Is Operating
on Own Account.

Arbie Beardslee, largest indivi-
dual operator in the Kevin-Sun-
burst oil field, brought In a well
a few days ago that it is believed
will make around 600 barrels of
oil q day. The we'll has been
flowing steadily since oil vas
struck, coming in strong gushes,
sometimes as much as 20 feet over
the top.
The well is the Beardslee-Bruins
in the NV NWA of 1882 west
and production was struck at 1855
feet. The sand from which the oil
comes was just touched, not drilled
into over 18 inches. While the strike
is likely in the Ellis, a small stray
sand was struck shortly before which
does not correspond with the Ellis
formation, and is different from the
other wells drilled in that vicinity.
The we'll is being cleaned and will
be connected up with the Illinois
pipeline half a mile away, while stor-
age tanks are being rushed in to
take care of the present overflow. H.
e. Whittekind has been in charge of
the drilling in the well.

the idea of free higher education
Alumni are to have their owr
business meeting on Homecoming
Day, with a campus luncheon al
noon. In the morning all five OF
the new buildings on the campus
will be open for inspection and just
after luncheon there will be the an
nual alumni business meeting. AT
8 o'clock in the afternoon the ex-
ercises in dedication of the new en-
cheering building will be held. In
the evening there will be the an
nual alumni banquet, followed by
the alumni dance.
More "old-timers" will attend
this alumni Homecoming Day than
ever gathered at the institution be-
fore. Letters coming to the News
Notes, alumni publication, show
that many members of classes that
we're graduated in the 'nineties are
planning to return to Montana
State college this year; and a few

its educational work in 1893, in q
frame building that had been used
for years as a skating rink. Today
the college farm and campus in
c1ude 400 acres, and the campus is
pronounced one of the most beauti-
full to be found among western col
leges. The enrolment of the in
stitution last year reached 1908,
with 70 graduates. Where the in
stitution was started in a single
dilapidated frame building in 1893,
it now has 10 major buildings, five
of them completed in 1928.
People of Bozeman are making
great plans for reception of the

Day. Streets and windows will be
decorated and there will be many

Tradition at Montana State Col
lege at Bozeman says that at least
once in a decade every graduate
must return to visit his Alma Mat
er. Tradition is strong at Montana
State, and this old tradition each
year brings back many of the alum
nj to witness the annual commence
ment exercises. But this year, with
new buildings to dedicate and with
80 years of educational work to
sum up, there is to be a Home
coming Day which, it is hoped, will
draw back to the institution by far
the greatest number of alumni ever
gathered there.
This Homecoming Day is set for
June IL, the day before the annual
commencement exercises at the in
stitution. AS a feature on a pro-
gram that will contain many fea-
lures, the new engineering main

College, is to be dedicated. The

Mr.. Beardslee is contemplating
operating a large scale in drilling in
the Kevin-Sunburst field, and it is
understood that his operations will
continue to be as an individual. With
800 acres of proven land in Kelvin
Sunburst, Beardslee is already start
ing an offset of the Western Petro-
leum producer in section 8 and is To-
eating another well on%e-quarter of
a mile south of the present well, to
start drilling as rapidly as machin-
cry can be gotten on the ground,
while other locations will be spotted
for an extensive campaign of drilling.
Arbie Beardslee is one of the
unique figures in the Montana oil
world and plays a LONE hand in all
Of his operations. Formerly Of Dill
lon, near where he still has a large
stock ranch, and for many a well
known in Great Falls as a heavy
dealer in livestock, sheep and horses
being his speciality, he became in
terested in oil January, 1921, when
at Lewistown he and Gordon Camp
bell we're brought together by Judge
Roy e. Ayers, now associated with
Mr.. Beardslee as his legal adviser,
and he helped finance Campbell for
his first drilling in the Kevin-Sun-
burst field.
When Campbell brought in the
discovery well one veal ago last
March, Beardslee held heavy inter-
ests in the field and when L. C. Ste
venson brought in the second well for
the Sunburst Oil and Gas on the Sun
burst side of the field, Beardslee was
on the spot with acreage.
At the present time he holds 900
acres of proven ground, and 1000
in other parts of the field not proven
as yet, besides acreage on the Teton
ridge, and scattered over Teton
county. In addition to holding acre
age Beardslee has been in the money
oftener and heavier than any indivi-
dual. When the Kevin-Sunburst, or
Rhoades group, organized by Judge
w. B. Rhoades of Great Falls, and
Judge Roy E. Ayers, then of Lewis
town, a short time ago sold $40 acres
for over 100000 to the California,
netting 1000 per cent cash, and re-
tanning over 5000 acres in the field.
Beardslee was the heavy holder, and
is credited with taking down about
$4,000 of the payment price. In
other deals where cash figured, MI.
has been in the money for
large sums many times, the Cana
dian-American and Hogan having ac-
CURED its acreage from him, while
royalty holdings are the largest
of any individual in the game.

ates, it is a glorious complement tc
years of hope.
So, from all corners of Montana
from Maine to California, the M. S
c. alumni have taken up a slogan
from 'ninety-three to twenty
three; we're coming home again
Cards r pouring into Bozemar
from alumni who will return for the

engineer, head of a department
in a corporation known around the

written that they will return on

President Alfred Atkinson, under
whom the State College is making
its wonderful "step forward"
writes to alumni an invitation to re-
turn for a visit with old classmates
and friends, to attend the exercises
OF Homecoming Day and the COM

FAMOUS WOLF OF
HICHWOODS DEAD
DURING LONG PREDATORY LIFE
KILLED CATTLE WORTH
OVER $4,000
Caught in Trap Set by Government
Hunter, Drags Trap -Four Days;
Mate Trixie Is In the Motion Pic
lures,

II Snowdrift, giant white wolf
of the HighwOOd mountains, killed
a few days ago by Don Stevens,
government hunter, had lived in
the Black forest of Germany a few
hundreds of years ago, it would
have gone down in legend as one
of the most famous wolves of hat
section, with supernatural powers.
During the past year this wolf is
credited with having killed cattle
worth more than $4,000.
! The wolf was caught in the trap
and his struggles broke it from it's
anchor. For -four days, tracked by
the trapper, the wolf dragged the
heavy trap with him and successfully
eluded his pursuer, following logged
ly on his trail. The wolf kept to its
flight despite the fact that it could
not stop to eat and the heavy trap
would have prevented successfully
hunting any small game.
When the trapper tracked down
the wolf, he was able to get within
good shooting distance of it due to
its starved condition and the fact
that it was dragging the heavy trap.
Several years ago, the ranchers in
the north Highwood district began
to notice the great white wolf and to
see its depredations among the cattle
on the range. The name of Snow
drift came to attach itself to the ami
NAL. From one of the filters of which
Snowdrift was the father came Trixie,
a she-wolf that has made a name in
moving pictures. Many other wolf
pups have been sold for moving pic
ture work and breeding purposes.
This spring, ranchers tracked Lady
Snowdrift, the big VOLTS mate, to
their den and obtained their litter
of pups. A few days later, Don Ste
vens arrived and in a short time ac-
counted for Lady Snowdrift. Snow
drift may have seen the end and Der
haps his age was counting against
him, for he himself blundered into
one of the traps such as he had for
years successfully avoided.
The wolf was the most famous ami
NAL in his depredations of any in nor
thern Montana and ranchers had en-
dowed him with an almost s~upernat-
ural power since he was often seen
and shot at but never, seemingly, hit.
Don Stevens, on his arrival in the

of the two animals. Both had
toes from their feet missing, showing
their experience with traps was
at some personal cost
S~nowdrift, when killed, showed a

He was weighed by the ranchers and
despite the fact that he was starving
and had been travelling over the hills
under conditions that seemed almost
impossible, tipped the scales at more
han So pounds.
The report of the animals death
was telephoned to the headquarters

Great Falls by ranchers. The killing

Curley vas not a chief at the time
of the Custer battle. He was a scout
