 On the third. another par four hole, Bobby got off his first poor drive of the tournament. The ball landed under a three In tall grass to the left of the fairway.

Ing shown in the night school as aliens

duct the school while last year Mrs.

students. Glasses are open to all who
are interested in the school work.
The first class will begin Wednes-

ing; Monday, Wednesday and Satur-

YOUNG LADIES LEAD IN HEATED
RACE FOR CARBON COUNTY PRINCESS

The princess contest is taking on
real interest in Carbon county, partic-
ularly in the Clarks Fork Valley. Miss
Louise Double of Bridger yesterday
leaped from fifth place to the lead
with $4,000 votes. Miss Violet Smith,
also of Bridger, holds second place
with 28,100 votes. The two young
ladies are very popular in their COM
munity and their friends are determ-
ined they shall win. Miss Marcella
Littlefield, who held the lead last
week, now holds third place with 3d.
400 votes. Miss Julia Kohler of From
berg holds fourth place with 14,500
votes. The Misses Alice Bailey and
Catherine Davis follow with 5000 and
5000 votes respectively. Miss Davis
held third place last week. Miss Taimi
Thompson, who was placed in the race
by her friends for the honor of repre-
senting the county at the State Fair,
withdrew during the week owing to
the fact that she is spending the sum-
mer in Yellowstone Park. Several
thousand votes were found for Miss
Thompson in yesterdays tabulation.
The contest will close at eight
o'clock Saturday evening. It is any,
body's race until then. The standing
of the candidates will not be known
until the ballot box is opened for the
last time, therefore it is useless to hold
votes after that time.
The office of the Beartooth Boosters
Club will be open until that hour for
the purpose of giving the public an
opportunity to cast their votes until
then. The ballot box will be
opened by committee of judges and
the final count made.
The lucky girl, who receives the
honor of representing Carbon county
in Helena, has in store for her a most
enjoyable trip with all expenses paid.

queen of the state is crowned, will be

Livestock Shipped
To Seattle Market


Four car loads of livestock were
shipped from the local yards last Sat
urday billed to the Live Stock Market
at Seattle. The shipment was made
up of three loads of cattle owned by
James Burnett and Sanford REMAND
of Luther and one car of hogs that
were owned by Vern Cowger who lives
just west Of this city. Mr.. REMAND
accompanied the shipment and, in a
way, sending them to Seattle is an ex-
pertinent as heretofore most of our
cattle have been sent to the markets
a Chicago or Omaha. Mr.. Cowger
has been shipping his hogs to Seattle
off and on for several years. Last
year. he shipped seven car loads and
thus far this year five. The freight
rate is a little cheaper to Seattle but
there-is little or no difference in the
number of times the stock must be un-
loaded and fed enroute. However,
heretofore the eastern market has
offered the best prices for cattle and
therefore the results of this shipment
will be watched with interest by live
stock dealers.
Cattle and hogs have done we'll here
this season, they are in good market
able shape and several large ship
ments are planned for the next thirty
days.
