THE CHAMPIONSHIP
BY Defeating School of Mines Two
Straight, Gain Undisputed
Claim to Title.

The State College Bobcats cleared
away the last obstacle in the path Of
the state title in basketball last Fri
day and Saturday nights when they |
took the Butte Miners into camp in
two games. The Friday score was
! 27-12 in favor of the college, and the
| Saturday score was 1910.
| The Friday score was closer than
| the final score would Seemto indicate,
as the half ended 1913 in favor of the
Bobcats. The college opened the scor-
J.! ing, when DeWald dropped in a long
i shot. Hollister followed suit, and
things looked fine. But at this juno
1 ture the Miners found themselves.
j and they pushed the Bobcats to the
limit. In quick succession Quinn,
Hartsell and Thompson dropped IN
baskets and put their team in the lead.
!, 1t looked for a moment as if the Bob
) cats would have to step lively to take
the game. Then Hollister, with two
free throws, tied the score once more.
= A minute later Ladic put the Miners
once more in the lead; then Hartwig'
and Beckley got loose for the Bob
cats and took the final lead The half
? ended 1913.
1t was in the second half that the
Bobcats showed the form that had
trampled on the State University
e Bruins. Dropping into their old
, stride, they dropped in both long AMI

GALLATIN PIONEERS
HOLD ANNIVERSARY
Nearly 200 Pioneers and Members Ol
Their Families Enjoy Annual
Meeting Day.

Nearly 200 pioneers and their chill
dren and grandchildren attended the
banquet given as an important feature
of the thirteenth annual reunion of the
Pioneers Society OF Gallatin County
at the Elks' Home Thursday, and aft
er the banquet a number of others
joined them in the hall upstairs for
the interesting afternoon program, at
which A. H. Stafford, president Of the
Pioneers Society, presided, and in the
evening a number of friends were IT,
vited to join in the grand ball, about
200 couples being present. One Of the
most interesting features of the pro
gram was the paper preared and read
/ by Mrs. w. j. Beall, the historian, a
woman who has made her home in
| Bozeman since she came here on Aug
ust 1, 1864.
In her address Mrs. Beall mentioned
many of the early-day pioneers of the
Gallatin valley-according to the In
dians, the valley of Flowers
among them John NJ. Bozeman, after
whom the city is named; Daniel NJ
Rouse, William w. Anderson, Y. ]
Beall, John S. Mendenhall, Frank F
] Fridley, w. ]. Davies, Squire Fit,
and others. Speaking of John NJ
II Bozeman, she said in part:
j "Mr. Bozeman was born in the stat
: of Georgia. He was by nature a pic
z neer, restless, brave and resourcefu
: had no conception Of fear, was with
2 out culture or education, but brave t
J a fault. 1t was due to this fact tha
= he lost his life. In the spring of 186
Y he and Thomas Cover started for
n trip to Fort F. C. Smith, which ha
been established on the Big Horn
Y the fall of 1866. Two or three day
s later they met a small party of Blacl
:. feet Indians, who appeared to /
c friendly, but they treacherously sh,
o and killed Mr.. Bozeman and wounde
e Mr.. Cover, who returned to the city
?, few days later. Mr.. Bozeman W;
n killed April 19, 1867. Thus ended IL
s life of a brave pioneer, for whom Il
It city was named"
n Regarding the tragic death of al
l. other of the Gallatin valleys pioneer
n Thomas Cover, who started the fir
IT. flour mill in that section and W.
later went to California, the speak
e., said:

he said, and it is the Legislature that
will be to blame for the present con-
ditiOn.
The four educational institutions
face the gravest danger, he said, By
not having received their full quota
of revenue to which they had been en-
titled, but the legislature is to blame
he said. Money cannot be coined from
thin air, he added.
High points in the governors mes
sage:

legislative session, in obedience TO the
| constitutional provision that directs
the governor to "give to the legislat-
i've assembly information of the con-
| dition Of the state ana recommend
such measures as he shall deem ex-
| pedient," for remedying the same, /
/ then pointed out the alarming condi-
tion of the state finances, as set forth
in the report TO me by the state treas
urer, showing hat the state govern
ment ran behind for the year 1918,
4 $685., ,405.
That during the year 1920, the state
government ran behind 1882, ,194.
Il That the deficit for the operation Of
. the state government for the three
year period, January 1, 1918, to Jan

CITY RALLIES TO AID
 OF NEWSBOY CRIPPLE
Authorities Who Destroyed Paper
 Stand Face Court Action

ELGIN, H., July 1.-City officials of Elgin are learning that they started something when they tried to take away from George Stage. a bent, twisted crippled newsboy. his only means of livelihood
 George had been running his news stand for several years just outside the railroad depot. Recently Spiro Paulos, a fruit dealer. bought the fruit stand inside the station and al once got into communication with city officials about that competing newsstand. Soon afterward police arrested George. tore down his stand and forbade him to sell news papers on the street.
 Now 5000 Elgin citizens, including practically every business man In town, have signed a petition protest ing the official ruin of the boy. It isn't possible for George to do any other kind of work on account of his physical condition. they point out. All he can do Is sit and pass out papers and take in pennies,
 Attorneys have secured a tempor- ary injunction restraining Mayor Earl Kelly and Marshall Louis Free man of Elgin from enforcing the rule barring the boy and his stand. and the hearing on petition for a perma- nent injunction will be heard next week.

Would Withdraw Wheat From Visible Supply

WASHINGTON. July IA proposal that minimum of 200,000,000 bush els of wheat be withdrawn by Amer ican farmers from this years visible supply, in view of this country's in- dicated large surplus, placed in ware houses under supervision Of the de- partment of agriculture, financed through the intermediate credit banks and carried forward to aug ment next years crop at harvest time, was made public today by the American Farm Bureau federation.
 In a telegram to Secretary Wa lace of Agriculture, who is accom- panying President Harding on his Alaskan trip, the federation com mended the Presidents statement in Kansas supporting intermediates credits and warehousing, and urged Mr. Wallace to advise the President to recommend that farmers avail themselves of the new warehousing and intermediate credits acts.
 The country's present crop of wheat t and carry-over, the telegram stated, Is approximately 1000, ,ooo, OOO bush els; domestic consumption, about 55O, 100000 bushels; seed require ments. 60.000,000 bushels, and pos sible export outlook, 150,000,000 10 200, 000,0 ,000 bushels. The federation 5 proposal, MT. Wallace was told, will give the farmers an opportunity to adjust their acreage in the fall and spring seedlings so that no undulV large surplus need exist at that time.'
 Such a move in the opinion of the federation, would allow cooperative and orderly marketing and lift wheat from 75 to so cents, the present price. to $1.40 or $150, and would continue it on that basis throughout this consumptive year. thereby being helpful to both producer and con sumer and eliminating speculation.

 Tonight the Presidents party re- turned to Gardiner again boarded their train and headed directly for the Pacific coast. The first stop will be made tomorrow at Spokane, liver one of his principal addresses, speaking on Proclamation, Water Power Development an the Problems of the Far West"
 Leaving the inn near Old Faithful, where they spent the night, the President and Mrs. Harding today saw mountains, valleys, rivers and lakes as presented In some of the most beautiful and impressive national settings.
 Although it was the first day of July, the presidential party travelled for miles through trails which led at many places through snow fields.
 At Yellowstone lake a portion of the party, including Secretary Wal lace and Speaker Gillette, were taken across the great eXpanse of water comprising the second largest fresh water lake in the world at an alti- tude of more than 7,700 feet. The yacht met the Presidents party again near the lake hotel, where one Of the most interesting events of the chief executives trip took place. The park rangers had treed two black bears--a mother and her cub. They came down from the pine trees to greet Mr. Harding, who responded by feeding them sweet ginger bread and molasses while motion pictures and other cameramen preserved the scene tor di'play to the world.

An niston does not permit a group of foul-smelling, fly-breeding city dumps. An incinerator costing 5000 has been in operation eight years.

 No fuel has ever been bought for the incinerator here" Mir, Parker told the reporter. Paper and old ir the garbage. Dead animals and wet matter are dried upon the upper deck and later burned.
 "One truck and four wagons col feet all the garbage. It is placed in the incinerator as soon as it arrives. sons put their wet and dry garbage in the same collection cans at their back doors."
 c. w. Rutledge chief of police in Anniston. visits the towns only dump and the incinerator every week. He is proud of the manner in which garbage is disposed of.
 "The dump is practically free from flies" Chief Rutledse said Saturday. No garbage is allowed to stand. Wet things are put to dry in the oven at once and the dry things used for fuel. Even dead horses are baked to crisp in the oven and then burned in the furnace.
 "Old cans and metal are put to one side, later to be reclaimed"

BRITISH SHIPBUILDING
 IN STAGNATI0N STAGE

LONDON, July 1.-(By Associated Press. .-General Stagnation is the keynote of the British ship building trade, says the monthly bulletin of the American Chamber of Commerce in London, which points out ap prehensions caused by the emigra ton of numerous Clyde artisans and a continuance of the boilermakers lockout.
 John Cory, prominent South Wales ship owner, is cited in the bulletin as predicting q general lay ing up of tonnage unless conditions rapidly improve. The bulletin notes the adverse criticism in parliament regarding the decision of the ad- yisory council to guarantee 2,300, 900 pounds toward the building of three ships for the Royal Mail company at Belfast.
 The abnormally prolonged depres- sion in the cotton industry Is caus- ing numerous bankruptcies. The woolen industry is also being hard hit by French competition. Owing to the low cost of production. wool is being sent to the continent to be combed there. Large quantities of hosiery are being imported at low prices from the United States, while the small purchasing power of the continent is deprfving British manu- factureIs of the European market.
