PROVES SUCCESS
Unstinted Praise Given Director
and Members of Cast By
Pleased Public

Success of the American Legion
play, 'NObOdy's Baby, presented at
the Ellen theater Monday and Tues
day evenings, was testified to by ca
pacity houses on each occasion. The
cast, made up Of BOzeman people and

ted itself so well that the show proved
one of the best entertainments ever
given BOzeman folk by local talent.
The play was presented under the aus
pices Of Gallatin post No. IA, Amer

A large share in the honors is Civ
en- to the orchestra under the direc-
tion of Emma Devine Myers. The
opening speciality, 'The Flag" with
Mrs. Mary Gray Schwartz as soloist
assisted by a chorus Of $50 boys and
girls, was one Of the pleasing fea-

numbers were put on between acts
chOruses Of young men and young
women aiding greatly in making these
eminently successful. On the whole
"NobodY's Baby" was a meritorious

FINDS GOLD RING
IN TROUTS TUBdMY

The fellow who finds pearls in
his oysters can now take a back
seat, says the Park County News
Of Livingston.
For A. L. Eaton Of Livingston
has gone him one better with 3
Montana trout.
Mr.. Eaton went fishing last
Thursday and came home with a
One-pOund trout. When he cleaned
the trout he found a baby's gold
band ring in its entrails. It is
presumed some child lost the ring
into stream and the trout snap
ped it up as it glistened on its
way to the bottom, just as he
would have taken a spinner whip
ped through the water on an
anglers line. Only he lived to en-
joy longer his favOrite haunts than
if it had been regulation tackle.

sheep INDUSTRY
IMPORTANT one
in The GALLATIN
Will Return Local Growers
Around $121, 900 This Year,
Says County Agent

On Tuesday, October 26, one or two
carloads of wether lambs, and left
over buck lambs were assembled by
the Gallatin County Wool Growers
association committee either for sale
locally or shipment to the Chicago
market. This virtually brought to a
close the activities Of the association
for the year.
R. E. Bodley, county agent, in re-
ferring to the shipment pointed out
the fact that the sheep industry is an
important source of revenue in Gal
latin county. This last spring 1861
497 pounds of wool belonging to local
sheepmen was pooled and sold, bring
ing a. total price of approximately
$5S,067. There are slightly over 49,
600 sheep, owned by lit different
farmers, in the county. This fall
over 1000 head of rams and ram
lambs, registered, purebred, and high
grade, have been sold for breeding
purposes, netting the growers at least
$4,000. In addition it is estimated
that for other lambs, old ewes, ETC.,
sold the growers will receive an addi-
tional $4,000. This would make a to-
tai of approximately $121, 900 received
by Gallatin county sheep men this
year.

DEFEAT
BOBCAT SQUAD;
SCORE 20
'Wild Bill'' Kelly of Grizzlies
Nemesis of M. S. C. Boys
Game Here Saturday

More than 1000 Bozeman people
journeyed to Butte last Saturday to
see the Montana State college Bob
cats take the measure of the State
University Bruins-but they didn't.
The Bruins turned the tables, q to 0.
"Wild Bin' Kelly, captain and
quarterback of the State university
team, was principally responsible for
the decisive defeat of the Bobcat
eleven. Kelly made 21 of the Bruins
q points. Only in the first quarter
did the Bobcats demonstrate an abil-
ity to hold the university squad, and
in that period the Grizzlies made no
score. The ball, however, was in
Bobcat territory most of the time.
The crowd at Clark Park, estimated
at 5000, is said to have been the
largest that ever witnessed an ath-
letic contest in Montana. Hundreds
of fans, according to press reports,
were turned away because of lack of
seating accommodations. The field
was fast and the sky clear, although
breeze from the south at times IA
vored the team with that goal at
their backs.
The Bobcats viii clash with the Col
orado Teachers on the local field Sat-
urday afternoon. A good attendance
is expected.

labor APPROVES
INITIATIVE NO. 81,
GOOD ROADS BILL
President Ely of Montana Feder-
alton So Informs President
GOZa of M. A. A.

Labor in Montana has given its un-
qualified approval to Initiative Meas
ure No. 81, the "Good Roads" bill, ac-
cording to a letter received by Sam
D. GOA of Helena, president Of the
Montana Automobile association, from
Stephen Ely, president of the Mon
tana State Federation of Labor.
In the communication, which was
dated October 25, Mr.. Ely said:
Replying to your inquiry as to
my opinion of Good Roads for Mon
tana, Initiative Measure No. 81, which
is to be voted upon Tuesday, Novem-
Der 2, would say:
'T am unqualifiedly for the meas
ure because, in my judgment, it is
the best constructive legislation ever
afforded the people of our state to
adopt. The bill for road building will
be paid by the drivers of automobiles
to the extent of miles each Of them
is using; it will not add to the bur.
den of the general taxpayer; on the
contrary, in the end, the success of
this program would tend to lower
rather than increase general taxes.
"The success of this measure inter
ests me further because during the
next 10 years it win mean an expendi-
1are of practically two and a hall
million dollars each year for labor
which will be Of very material bene.
fit to labor as such and any legiti.
mate effort which is put forth fol
the benefit of Montana and every Sec
ton in it, certainly has my cordia
endorsement. wish your success"
Latest reports from headquarters
of the Montana Automobile associa
tion at Helena are such as to indicate
that Initiative No. 81 will be emphati
cally approved by the voters of Mon
tana next Tuesday.

With the general election only three

sections Of the state and of the county
have been of such nature as to con-

to The Courier.
Men of High Type
81 believe that there are enough
clear-thinl1ing voters in Gallatin
county to bring in a safe majority for
the Republican candidates, who all are
of a type above reproach or criticism.

of the electors men who will, if chOs-
en-, fulfill the duties of their several
offices without fear or favor and in
an efficient and aggressive manner.
''They make no promises they can
not fulfill. What more can the peO-
pie ask? We submit them for ap-
proval November q"
The last days of the campaign
found all candidates working at
high pressure in efforts to convince
the voters of their qualifications and
desirability for the offices they seek.
The Republican candidates found
sentiment flowing steadily in their
favor, and were correspondingIy
elated.

campaigning is being done, not by the
candidates of either party, but by
over-zealous friends. A few derOga-
tory stories, worthy of neither repeti-
tion nor consideration, are being cir
culated against some candidates, both
Republican and Democratic, but these
are being given short shrift by intel
ligent voters.
