JEFF COUNTY Hl
 WILL HOLD MEET

The Jefferson County High school is planning to hold it's annual field meet on Friday, May 2. Invitations and lists of events have been sent out to all of the high schools in the county and it is expected that many will send repre- sentatives. Prizes will be given to the winners in each event and refresh ments will be served on the grounds,
 This has been an annual event at Jefferson County for several years. and it is desired to make it a permanent affair. Last year. despite the fact that it rained practically all day. quite a number of schools sent representatives. With anything like a reasonable break in weather conditions. this year a much larger representation is expected.

that the luck will not be averaged up in the round. For this reason no shot tricks in the game of golf-or anything else, for that matter.
 According to my reasoning a lead however simple, should be slighted or played with a careless hand. If one will play his best at all times, even in practice, he will find that Dame For tune is always ready to deal out her rewards.
 It's Never Won Till It's Won As look back on my many cham pionships, won and lost, can see where the policy of never conceding a victory to your opponent until he has won it is the only wise plan to pursue In medal play there is always consid- erable uncertainty and a lead of six strokes. even in the last round is often not enough. of a margin. Leaders all ways find a pace hard to keep. I have coming up from behind. | never am much interested to know the score others are making in a tour holes; then I can gauge my play ac- cordingly. One needs to know then whether to go after the long butts or to play safe. Safe play, any place but on the putting green, Is often very unwiSe. This may sound rather un- | orthodox, but 1t is true. I have seen many a match, apparently lost, pulled out of the fire by a streak of auda- cIous playing. Some unusual golf feats have been performed through this will | ingness to take a chance.

 Efforts to arrange a match with Yale failed. although Yale authorities showed much interest In the proposal of the Crimson team.

However, should the Crimsons be near them at any time, they said they would gladly cancel any game they had in order to meet Alabama.

Boy Wins A Shotgun
Battle With Mother
Bear And Her Cubs

Armed with a 16-guage shot
gun, Michael McNair, 11-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. McNair
of UraI, in the Libby district,
killed three large cub bears and es-
capped practically unhurt after an
encounter with the old bear and
after seriously wounding her.
Michael started out for a rabbit
hunt and had not gone far when he
ran across a big bear. He fired at
the bear but did not hit her, as he
discovered he had not loaded his gun.
Suddenly three cubs appeared in
front of him, and he opened fire and
succeeded in killing them, but by
that time the old bear appeared and
charged him. He fired two shots
into her breast at close range, and
as the old bear struck at him, he
fumbled and fell face downward.
The bears glancing blow struck the
boy on the back but outside of tear
ing his clothes did not injure him
seriously. She then turned and ran
into the brush. The boy jumped to
his feet and dragged the three cubs
to the trail, and then ran to where
his father and two other workmen
were employed building a new ferry
at Ural. One of the men succeeded
in getting the old bear. The boy
had two shells left after his daring
encounter, having started out with
seven shells.

BIG EXHIBITS FOR
NORTH STATE CORN
AND STOCK SHOW
5000 IN AWARDS TO BE GIVEN
TO WINNERS AT THE GREAT
FALLS CORN SHOW
Secretary Of United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to be The
Principle Speaker 1t Farmers
Meeting Second Day.

Twenty thousand ears of corn
win be racked at the opening Of
the Second Annual North Central
Montana Corn and Livestock
show, October IS, and stall space
in the livestock section Of the Mon
tana Livestock pavilion at Great
Falls will be filled to capacity, ac-
cording to County Agent MacSpad-
den Of Great Falls, secretary of
the show.
Entries in both the corn and live
stock sections are exceeding all ex-
pectations and the six North Cen
tral counties will all have represen-
tation at the exhibition.
Although the past season has
been considered unfaYorable for
corn all over the United States,
North Central Montana has come
through with a comparatively good
crop and there will be twice the num-
Der of exhibitors and twice the am
cunt of corn at this years show, as
compared with the exposition last
fall.
Competition for the cash and mer-
chandise premiums tota1ling $780,,
contributed by Great Falls business
houses and citizens will be keen in
almost every class, and apparently
the judges will have a real task
ahead of them when they start hang
ing the ribbons.

Dunar has discovered the original
certificates showing this baptism,
written by Father Palladino himself.
Several people who were personally
acquainted with Owen have been
discovered by Mr.. Dunbar in the vic
unity of MissouIa and from them and
others he may find, he expects to
complete his records of this great
pioneer of the northwest.

Mr.. Dunbar is collecting further
data on Major John Owen, who built
the fort in 1850, which will be is
sued in book form, along with the
diary Of Owen, which is believed to
be the longest and most complete
record kept by any pioneer in the
west. A brief resume OF the early
history of Montana will be issued
with the book.
May Become State Property.
A growing movement to make this
fort a state monument to the pio-
neers of the Bitter Root valley and
Montana is being promoted now, ac-
cording to Mr.. Dunbar. Governor
Dixon, President C. II. Clapp of the
State University, Ex-congressman
Washington j. Mccormick, Professor
Paul c. Phillips, head of the history
department at the university, and
Congressman John M. Evans are
heartily in favor of the movement.
The present owners of the old struc-
ture have expressed their willing
mes to deed the old property to the
state for a purely nominal sum.
The site to be enclosed would be
about two and one-half acres.
Should Draw Tourists.
"This old fort, with proper care.
would last indefinitely" says Mr..
Dunbar. with a well-kept plot of
ground around it and a suitable fence
it should become a mecca for sight
seers and history students. 1t
should be the Suffers Fort of the
Northwest"
Old Seal Discovered.
A discovery by Mr.. Dunbar of the
old sealing iron used by Major Ow
en- was made recently. This seal is
a cumbersome affair of wrought ir-
on, somewhat like a pair of tongs.
The seal is in four parts, cut into the
ends of the long arms. Photographs
of this seal will be published for the
first time in Mr.. Dunbar's book. 1t
was discovered in an obscure corner
of the fort.
Major Owen, whose original diary
and account of his life and adven-
lures as n of the earliest of early
Montana pioneers will soon be pub
lished under the imprint of the Mon
tana Historical society, came to this
region in 1849. Although owen
came to Montana at a time when
there were only about twenty other
white men in this part of the coun-
try (and most of them did not re-
main) he was much more than a
heroic Montana figure. From his
adobe fort in the Bitter Root valley,
about thirty miles west of Missoula,
and near the present StevensvilIe.
Owen travelled all over the northwest.
His journeys and expeditions as
told in his journals extended from

bile service between the business dis
trict and the pavilion for the conven-
fence of visitors. Judging of both
orr and livestock will be carried on
in the heated auditorium and reasons
for placings will be fully explained
by the judges.
A feature of the second day of the
show will be the big farmers meet
ing with Secretary Henry G. Wal
lace of the United States Department
of agriculture, listed among the
speakers. Civic organizations of
Great Falls are cooperating with
the agricultural committee of the
Great Falls commercial club in pro-
viding a number of entertainment
features for out-of-town visitors.
Premium lists are being issued up
on application from the office of the
Great Falls commercial club and
F. E. MaeSpadden, secretary of the
show.
