Good weather attended them through
out and every courtesy was extended
them by those along the way SO that
what was primarily business trip
was converted into one of real pleasure
for every member Of the party.
Messrs Jeffery and Shelley had been
over the route before and their ac-
quaintance with it aided them in point
ing out the places of interest to be
found along the proposed highway.
They stated that on every trip over
the road they encountered new Won
ders and new scenes of beauty and
grandeur that went unnoticed on the
trips made before. 1t was Congress
man Leavitt's initial trip over the
route and he stated that he thoroughly
enjoyed every minute of it and that
the Beartooth's scenic wonders are
little dreamed of by anyone who has
not seen them at first hand.
In an interview with representa-
tive Of the News Tuesday evening Mr..
Leavitt expressed his pleasure at the
courtesies extended him during his
trip and his stay here, and stated that
he is intellectually for the proposed
new highway and that the project will
have his unqualified support untils it
is completed. He declared that in his
opinion the proposed highway is alb
solutely necessary, not only as an en-
trance to Yellowstone Park but also
as an outlet for the millions of feet
of commercial timber in the forests
which the proposed route penetrates
as well as a route that will divert I'M
told millions of toms of ore, recently
uncovered in the Cooke City mines,
from the roads through the park,
which roads afford the only outlet
for transportation and which the
heavy traffic is injuring at present.
He also stated that the region through
which the proposed highway passes is

GOOD OIL and GAS
SHOWING MADE IN
WELL NEAR SILESIA

Drilling operations for oil being car
ried on by the Rose Altmont Oil Com
pany near Silesia are being watched
with considerable interest at this time
and those who have Investigated the
matter are optimistic in their belief
that paying well will be brought in
there at an early date.
The well is being drilled on the c..
G. Mackey ranch in Section II, about
a miles northwest Of Silesia and is
now down little over 1,200 feet. They
have good showing of both oil and
gas and so far have encountered no
water to interfere with the work. At
that depth it is thought that they are
now below the water bearing sands
which tends to show a closure from
the Prior Mountain side where the
greatest danger Of encountering in
terferlng waters was to be expected,
and the operators are confident that
they are in no danger from that source
as they are below the water strata.
Willard Richard of Billings has the
drilling contract and work goes on
night and day without interruption.
1t is said that more rapid progress is
being made with this we'll than has
ever been made with any like project
in this county or locality. This we'll
is being drilled on what is known as
the Burns Dome. 1t is not more than
20 or 25 miles from the Elk Basin
field in a direct line from which it is
plainly discernable.
Those acquainted with such matters
say that if oil is found it will be en-
countered at much less depth than

all the contestants last year.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the News Miss Dowdle ex-
pressed her pleasure at being selected

county and particularly those of Bird

loyal support she received and the
honor they conferred upon her in
selecting her as their Princess and
their representative.

Fair at Helena next month as the
guest of the Queen of Montana con-
test management of the State Fair.

HARRY ALDEN IS
INJURED BY FALL
BENEATH TRAIN

F. H. Alden left the city Saturday
for Wallace, Idaho, where he was
called by the serious condition of his
son, Harry, Saturday morning.
The following is an account of a
train accident given in a Sunday Wal
lace paper:
"His left leg severed above the knee
when he fell beneath the wheels of a
Northern Pacific passenger train at
Mullin yesterday, Harry SPEEDY"
Alden, %, of Red Lodge, Montana, lay
in local hospital last night, weak
from the loss of blood and suffering
from pain and shock.
"The accident occurred at a point
about 100 yards east of the Mullan
depot shortly after II a. M, when
Alden was flung beneath the train
while attempting to hook the bag
gage car. Eye witnesses declared he
had bumped the side of gondola on
Side track, causing him to slip beneath
the moving train.
1.-TWO interstate utilities employees,
Les Bush, lineman, and Harry Tillot-
son, cable splicer, saw the accident
and rushed to Aldens side and i'm
mediately applied an improvised
tourniquet to stem the flow of blood
from his mangled limb. They used a
piece of telephone wire as the tourni-
quet, then obtained bed sheet from a
housewife and wrapped his wounds.
"Quick action of the two men prob
ably saved Alden's life for the injured
mans leg mas bleeding freely when
they reached him. Later physician
was summoned and Alden was remov-
ed to the hospital.
Had Ticket inlPocket
Friends of Alden were unable to
account for his attempt to hook the
blind baggage of the train. They re-
ported that he had railroad ticket to
Missoula and about $500 in his pockets
and could see no reason for him at
tempting to bum ride. Earlier in
the day he had expressed his suitcase,
declaring then that he was going to
return to his home in Red Lodge One
report current in Mullan was that he
had attempted to hook the train in
fulfillment of wager.
"Alden was formerly manager of
the 'Montanans' orchestra and had
been in Wallace and Mullan for about
a year, returning two weeks ago after
spending two months at his home in
Montana
"His father F. H. Alden, banker of
Red Lodge, left the Montana city yes
terday and will arrive in Wallace
sometime today"

Your Old Straw Hat

All, don't forget that. loyal friend,
because it's old and worn, nor look
upon it with disdain because it's brim
is torn, for there's no friend like an
old friend and just what I'm driving

You may need it too next season,
when the weather's hot and mean and
the sun beats down upon you raising
blisters on your bean and the gosh
darn pesky skeeters start to roosting
on your pate, ah, then you'll think Of
the friend you bought for a dollar,
ninety-eight.
1t served you well through many q
day, that loyal trusting lid. So don't
treat it with dishonor nor forget the
good it did, and who knows but what
next summer when you're broke COM
plete and fiat, you may crawl up in
the attic for your old straw hat.

During the closing weeks of the last
session of congress Mr.. Leavitt intro
duced a bill providing for the building
of the Red Lodge-Cook City High

Bureau of Public Roads and is still
pending. 1t will be put on the calen-

Just Say Bridger

Burlington train No. 90 left Warren
twenty minutes late. The conductor
consulted his chart and called the at
tention of the brakeman to the fact
that they were carrying several pas
sengers for East Bridger. Most of
them were Nebraska and Colorado and
Wyoming people who were enroute to
Bridger to visit relatives and maybe
buy some land but one passenger was
Bridger resident who had been to
Denver on business trip and was
returning home. The train was making
up time and after leaving Wade col
ored porter began passing through the
coaches yelling, east Bridger, don't
forget your packages and umbrellas,
East Bridger". The Bridger resident
stopped the porter in the aisle and
said "Say Bridger, and forget the East
stuff" "All right boss" answered the
colored brother, well just say Bird
ger III CnaC SUITS you all.
Whether that story is true deponent
sayeth not, but it illustrates a point.
1t is doubtful if there is more loyal
lot of residents in Carbon county than
those about Bridger. Just ask man
from Wade or Golden or East Bridger,
if you please, where he lives. He will
tell you he lives at Bridger. I agree
with the mythical passenger ON Bur-
lington No. 20. There should be no
East Bridger. That Burlington station
is within a mile and half of the Ant
lers Hotel, if my measurements are
correct, and that word East is euphon-
ious, as the purists would put it.
So let's just say, Bridger. Did you
ever notice the Bridger's wide streets7
They are suggestive of those in Salt
Lake City. And did you ever notice
the nice shady, cozy little tourist park
in Bridger with it's swimming pool and
electric lights? That spells local
pride. And have you ever visited the
up-to-date and well stocked library in
Bridger? That proves the kind of
people who live there. The had a
Chautauqua in Bridger last month.
Not cheap affair but good clean
wholesome chautauqua. They have
good schools there and they have sew
eral churches where dust doesn't settle
on the pews.
Bridger is surrounded by good
farms and ranches operated by good
farmers and ranchers. They are whole
some people those Bridger people.
They are progressive and they are
energetic. The business men keep
clean, we'll selected stocks of goods
commensurate with the needs of their
patrons.
There may be some laggards about
Bridger. If so, I haven't met 'em.
Everyone there is booster for Bird
ger, that's certain and there must be
vast amount of good in Bridger and
in whole community of people who
are so loyal to it and so proud to call
it home.

Basin field starts in what is known
as the Bearpaws thus making the Elk
Basin field wells much deeper than
the well near Silesia is likely to be,
and thus far it is checking up with

With the rapid progress being made

Interest now centers in the new
princess and she may rest assured that
her subjects without exception hope
fully look forward to the greater con-
test in which she will participate at
Helena during State Fair week when

in the state will contest for the honor
of becoming Queen of Montana. Miss
Dowdle is a beautiful and charming
young lady and her selection as prin-
cess meets with general approval.
She is the daughter of J. A. Dowdle,
prominent Bridger stockman, and she
is at present a senior in the Bridger

has been active in school affairs, has
stood high in her studies and has been
general favorite with her teachers,
her schoolmates and the people gen

In the contest conducted by The
