BELT BALL CLUB
KICKS BUCKET

At a meeting Of the baseball direc-
tors Wednesday evening it was decid-
ed that the pace was too fast financial
ly for Belt and that the team should
be disbanded at once.
The reason for this was the demand
Of some Of the players for more
money, the refusal Of others to play
longer and the feeling that before the
end Of the season the cost would
mount to such figures that completion
Of the season without heavy deficit
would be impossible.
While this action Of the directors is
deplored by all yet the wisdom Of their
action is unquestioned. The fact that
at this time there are no jobs for ball
players available and that It is neces-
sary to pay each player entirely ont
Of the funds of the club made the H.
nanciai burden heavy.
Anderson has been recalled to Butte
and the other players will be free
agents to sign up with any club who
needs their services.
Several unforeseen circumstances
have interfered heavily with the plans
made in the spring for the team, and t
upon these unexpected happenings
lies the blame for the failure Of the
Belt team to survive
Belt Valley times., 1924-06-05

During the past week teams of D.
w. Burnett have been busy filling in
and grading the hill from the Great
Falls road past the Rocky Mountain
elevator This hill has had at its base
a mudhole which made the hauling Of
grain and coal exceedingly difficult.
By filling the low place and surfacing
the whole with cinders it is hoped that
the difficulty win be obviated.
While at work here city officials
discovered that the culvert running
under the railroad right Of way and
into the coulee below BOboth's
place of business had become entirely
rhoked with barrels, parts of wagons,
drift and sand. Forman Talbot was
set to work to clean this out. While
digging through the obstruction it
vas considered advisable TO hydraulic
he rest and accordingly on Monday
afternoon fire hose was laid across
he road and the water thrown upon
he accumulation Of sand with force
ufficient to wash It away. If heavy

eterys having made arrangements ia

Everyone speaks highly Of the ex-
ercises. The speech of Attorney Leo
C. GraybilI in presenting the markers
for the graves Of soldiers was digni-
fled, clever and inspiring.
A large number of citizens were
present and joined in the decoration
not only Of former soldiers graves.
but also in placing tributes Of affec-
ton on the last resting places of reIa-
tives and friends.
This was probably the most impress

EFT, Great Falls and other places.
It rained by spells throughout the
evening but not sufficiently to inter-
