tanning and the classical dancing was
very good.
Miss Mayme Grace, who has been
termed the miniature Patti" has well
earned the name and enthraiied her
listeners with her beautiful colorature

ASKED TO VACATE
ROOM In HOTEL
Former Mrs. Hector Colbert Request
ed to Leave After Scene with Hus-
bands Lawyer

Mrs. Hector Colbert, of whom
much has been said and written lately
in connection with her husbands suit
for divorce, last evening was request
eed by the manager of her hotel to
vacate the suite which she had occu-
pied since breaking off with her n. tn
er-in-law, Mrs. Maturin Colbert, when
she discovered that the latter was hav-
ing her trailed by detectives for the
purpose of gaining, if possible, suffi-
cient grounds for her sons divorce.
The report goes that Daniel Farr,
who will be recalled as Colbert's at
torney during the divorce proceed
ings, Is the other party in scandal
that is bound to make sedate society
sit up and take notice-going on fur
ther to say that the rumpus started
when young Harrison Peters, also =
prominent figure in the Colbert case
was thrown out bodily from Mrs. Coll
bert's rooms by Farr.
The hotel manager and house at
tendants, going up to discover the
trouble, were greeted with the sight
Of young Mrs. Colbert standing with
Farr in the doorway, her dress torn
and hair disheveIied. 1t was lc this
juncture that she was requested 0
leave.
There Is considerable speculate N
among the upper circles Of the social
Iy elite as to just what lead up to the
row, and those interested in the af-
fair expect nothing short Of q sensa-
ton when Peters reveals what he
knows.
The entire affair will be untangled
at the Roman Theatre July 4th and
5th Better be thre.

To put II another way, at Canyon
Ferry the June flood this year was
but $4,000 cubic feet, while the aver
age for "a years past was 21, 400 Gu
bic feet. During the same period.
the flow for the last week in June has
averaged $4,000 cubic feet per second,
while this year 1t was but 3,795.
Reduced to the simplest terms
these figures conclusively show that
all Of these streams at the present
time contain not more than one-quar-
ter to ons-third the amount Of water
that would be there in normal year;
that unless unexpected and unusual
rains fall in the meantime, within the
next 80 days these rivers will approx
mate the lowest point in their record
ed history
Summe1 up, the unhappy fact seems
to be thai in his annual outdoor sport
of "outgnessing the clouds" nature

rigator ahd the progressive power pro-
Queer miserable hand. 1t is ham
dicap which will challenge all their re-
sourcefullness and ingenuity to over
come.

TOO MUCH SPEED
AUTO SMASH UP

While returning from joy-ride
Sunday evening a party of five Red
Lodge young men miraculously es-
capped death when their auto turned
turtle. The accident occurred ON the
road near the Point of Rocks south
of town, the party was speeding along
at rate of some sixty miles per hour
and in an endeavor to pass another
car their car struck rock breaking
a front wheel which caused the car
to turn completely over.
Four Of the passengers were thrown
clear of the wreck, while the driver
Yorkovich was pinned beneath the
steering wheel and received minor in
juries. Chas Giovetti one of the pas
sengers was thrown against bowlder
and injured his back from which he is
rapidly recovering at local hospital.
The car Is a total wreck and 1t is
but an act Of Providence that all the
passengers were not istantly killed,
The particular stretch OF road where
the accident occurred is by no means
speedway and this accident should
be lesson to other autoists to drive
carefully.

DEARTH Of RAIN
GROWS ALARMING
Montana Streams Are Lower Than
During Any June Except in 1919.
Hard on Irrigators.. Condition Gem
eral.

Subnormal snowfall and the alarm
ing dearth of spring and summer rain
fall has left Montana irrigators on the
verge of water famine The condition
is not only present in this state but
is in common over the states Of the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific slope re-
gions.
In California. hydro-electric power
companies are curtailing their output
and putting into operation all avail
able fuel-consuming plants. The
Southern California Edison company
for example, has cut its service to its
hundreds of thousands of consumers
in Los Angeles and vicinity to rs per
cent of their normal consumption and
has petitioned for 20 per cent in
crease in rates to help meet the loss
sustained by starting up its fuel-fired
reserve steam plants.
The situation in Montana particu-
larly on the Missouri river and its
tributaries, presents plight not un-
like that of California.
Montana's worst drouth year was
1919, when the shortage OF water in
the Madison, Jefferson, Gallatin and
Missouri rivers was greater than in
any other Of the SO years during which
river-flow records had been kept.
Recent inquiry, however, has de-
eloped the startling discovery that, ex-
cepting the famous dry year 1919,
these rivers had less water in them
in the last week Of June than ever be-
fore.

MOTOR VEHICLE TAX DUE NOW

February Is is the last day on
which to pay the motor vehicle reg
istration tax without penalty. The
new law does not allow the registrar
to waive penalties. There cannot,
therefore, be any extension of time
this year. To avoid penalty, applica-
tons properly signed with 1923 reg
istration certificates attached and
remittance for the 1924 tax must be
mailed to the Secretary of State not
later than February Is.
The penalty for delayed registra-
ton is more severe under the new
law. It accrues at the rate of 25
cents for each day (not exceeding
twenty days. of such delay, and two
dollars per month thereafter for each
month or fraction thereof (not ex-
ceeding five months) of such delay.
Penalty for delayed registration,
therefore, may amount to SIS. 90.
There is a penalty also for de-
layed transfer which is computed at
the same rate. If changes of owner
ship are not reported to the Secre-
tary of State with application for
transfer of title within three days af-
ter the date of sale, the penalty at
taches in the same way and at the
same rate as the penalty for delayed
registration. If there is delay in
both registration and transfer the
penalty may amount to $4,000
