lily in the sports, and was in constant
demand.
Many Interesting Contests
Promptly at 1 o'clock the after
noon program began. There were
the usual foot and horse races, key
roping contest, in which number of
young men on horseback rode at a
gallop past a keg, casting their rope
as they swept by. 1t is no easy task
to rope a keg, its shape making it
very hard to rope tight enough to
hold, and the boys displayed consid-
cradle skill.
During this time I had been busy
with my little camera, and / found
that while the men were always
ready to pose, the squaws objected
seriously when 1 pointed the kodak
in their direction-one dandy group,
seated on the grass, throwing them
selves forward on their faces just as
got them nicely in focus. Another
squaw, with a baby on her back,
turned her back when she saw me
getting ready to Shoot" thus giving |
me splendid view of her baby.
With Major Mossman's authorize
i've persuasion, I got another very
good picture of another mother and
'aDy, and managed to get cunning
little papoose into my own arms long
enough to get snap of it.
Old Yellow Horse, one of the old
st Indians on the reservation, and
m old acquaintance of our ranching
lays, came to the side of the car.
"Okeechita Okshena, tukte Z?
Where is your soldier boy?) he
sked, and when / told him "Still

in the army" he murmured "Nepo
wanitch'' (He didn't die), in satisfied
tones, and shook my hand solemnly
before he turned away. And / may
say, in passing, that the patriotism
displayed by the Indians of the Fort
Peck reservation was of the very
highest order, many of the young
men volunteering for service, and
the donations to the Red Cross and
similar organizations we're remark
ably large.
The Indian Dance
But to return to our picnic. There
were more races, and bucking con-
test, in which boy with one leg
off at the knee actually rode buck
ing horse to a finish, pie eating
contest, and some original Indian
games, of which, lacking an inter-
prefer, 1 could make nothing.

Sunburst Refining Company Books
Are Now Open To Public
Subscription

At special meeting of the
Stockholders of Sunburst Re-
filming Company, July I'd, 1923,
an increase of the Capitalize
ton from 100000 to $1,000
O00-as recommended by the
Board of Directors-was duly
authorized.
The Board of Directors at a
meeting following voted to Of
fer for public subscription, at
this time, s350,000 of addi-
tional shares, and the subscrip-
ton books have been opened
accordingly.
Refinery shares in the first
issue were sold by allotment,
and many were disappointed in
not getting the number of
shares desired. This issue will
be quickly subscribed, and we
invite you to send in your sub
scriptions promptly; otherwise
you may be disappointed.

tourists, 10000 strong, crashed the
gates it was by the merest chance ]
witnessed the thrilling scene. At
$40 a seat, and that was the lowest
price, they represented a potential
value of 100000. Out of this there
was salvage of possibly $4,000 or
$4,000, for those who got in first
were paying $40 down to So at re-
duced rate. The rest was dead loss
to the promoters.
To those of us enjoying the spec
tacIe of life, action bubbling and
throbbing in that vast pine bowl, the
presence of the crowd was neither a
handicap nor loss. 1t made no diff
ference whether they got in for
dollar or for sixty. They filled the
gap. They supplied the complement
that was necessary to the picture peo-
pie.
The incident occurred after the
second preliminary and while the row
was on between Dougherty and the
promoters for his $4,000 fee as ref
cree. The Great Falls Elk band was
playing on the east corner of the
arena at the time I heard the un-
mistakable ratta-tat-tat of what
sounded like pistol firing. To the
eastern newspaper men around me it
sounded no doubt like Fourth of
July fire crackers, and so they paid
no attention. I hurried up one of
the broad aisles and the sight from
the lip of the bowl / shall never for

At least 10000 people, roaring and |
pressing and gesticulating, had gath
cred in front of the main entrance. |
Inside were perhaps 200 men, spe-
cial deputies, federal guards and aids
from the fight headquarters. At
least SO of them held guns in their
hands, some of them shooting in the
air. Between them was the eight
foot barb wire fence. From hun
dred Threats there arose the cries,
Come on, fellows, let's go!" and

Mr.. Elder will bring to this
Company a broad experience in
manufacturing and marketing
that will be very valuable. Mr..
L. G. Steyenson's interest will

and to field work in connection
with the same, to provide at all

The money received from the
sale of this additional stock will
be used primarily for the pur-
chase of additional storage

operation. Your investment
will be in a going and profit

WHO MAKES THE
LAWS in U. S. A.?

This week the Producers News re-
ceived a letter postmarked North Da-
kota taking exception to the article
published in this paper under the
heading SHERIDAN County Representa-
tives Leave for Helena" in which we
said that Montana has never before
been represented by as large a num-
Der Of representatives who will work
for the people and not the big vested
interests of the state and who who go
with the firm determination of making
laws for the people.
The writer of the epistle is not
content with a mere statement but
gives the proof to back up his state
ment that the legislators do not make
the laws. Following is the letter:
December 20, 1922.
Dear Sir:
Your representatives and others ov-
er this land of the free and the home
Of the brave will discover in the due
course of time that they do not make
the laws; they just imagine they do.
On the contrary the Courts for several
years past not only interpret the
laws but make the laws. If any one
doubts that statement, just enact q
law that will curb or in any way in
terfere with "Big Business" and see
what your lawmakers laws amount
to.
Just look east over into North Da-
kota. The highest authority and law
makers in the state, THE PEOPLE,
initiated a grain grading act, to pro-
tect themselves from the worst lot oil
parasites that ever infested a body
The vote was over 3 to 1 for the
measure at the last election. Do you
suppose that the law was allowed to
go into effect? Not so. The federal
court issued an order restraining the
state officers from enforcing the law
The case now goes to the United
States Supreme Court where they
have heretofore gone outside of the
case before them and made laws
Judging the future by the past, [ an
warranted in saying that the Courts
make the laws and not the Represen
tatives or the people.
Yours truly,
INNOCENCE ABROAD.
