Souvenir From Famous
Battleship is Presented
To Mayor G. A. Jeffery

When the old battleship Oregon,
the once-prized fighting unit of Uncle
Sans fleet, better known as the Bull
Dog of the Navy, was about to be sent
out to sea and sunk as a target, the
Knights of Electra, through the assis-
lance of former Congressman Elton
Watkins of Oregon, procured from the
Navy Department limited amount of
bronze metal scrapped from the grand
old ship.
This precious metal, and it certainly
is precious, has been coined into beaut-
fully designed souvenir tokens.
Manager Friauf of the local ]. G..
Penney Company store, called upon
Mayor Jeffrey this forenoon and pre-
scented him with one of these historic
souvenirs.
One side of the medallion shows a
picture of the old battleship Oregon,
now permanently domiciled in the
navy yard at Bremerton, Washington.
Encircling the picture is the inscrip-
ton, Souvenir Metal From the Bat
tleship Oregon, Bull Dog of the
Navy.
Upon the diverse side of a symbolic
picture denoting progress toward the
land of the setting sun with inscrip-
ton, "Westward the Course of Empire
Takes Its Way" and encircling this,

Governor Walter M. Perice, Chief

favorable to every laudable enterprise
that will up-build their respective

will have voice in the councils of the

recent years. Time, effort and ex-
pense have been secondary considera-
tons in preparing the best available
material to shape out a program to
please both old and young.

ceived by the Legion show committee

This shipment contains musical
instruments, court regalia, "the

interest. These together with the
hieroglyphic inscriptions on the walls
of the tomb go to prove that "Royfus

rus" Braida are all direct Image de-

to take it for granted that the infor-
nation is correct.
Professors E. Th'Opian, and Spie
Glassus are in charge of the party in

to prove their assertions.

BILLINGS BOYS AND
HARDIN TO ATTEND
STATE TOURNAMENT

The Red Lodge basketball quint
played their second game in the Vel
lowstone District Basketball Tourna-
ment in Billings with Edgar last
Thursday evening. The local lads won
handily from the Clarks Fork boys
with a constantly mounting lead. The
work of Robertson and Dake, guards,
was particularly good and time after
time they stopped Edgar passes that
looked like easy shots for the basket.
In the first quarter Edgar's cause
looked hopeless as the Edgar boys
were able to chalk but one point while
Carbon was making eight. Red Lodge
continued to increase it's lead through
the second quarter and the score stood
Is to at the half.
In the third period Red Lodge again
held Edgar to a single point but ran
its own score up to Il to Edgar's 8.
Three field goals and free throw
gave Red Lodge total of % in the
last quarter and Edgar annexed one
field goal bringing it's total to 8 points.
Red Lodge was defeated by From
berg Friday night, 10 to 8. The games
played on the Billings floor Friday
placed the several entries into such
positions as to determine the district
championship.
In the Red Lodge-Fromberg game it
was the consensus of basketball fans
that Red Lodge would be able to go
into the finals Saturday night. The
game was unusual in that the score
was tied at the end of each of the first
three periods, Fromberg winning by
tossing one field goal in the last quar-
ter and holding the Carbon high boys
scoreless. Play had progressed for
two and half minutes before a score
was made and then each side made a
field basket within half minute.
This was the only scoring done in the
period and the score at the end was
two all. The second period was also
an even break with each team making
two field goals, leaving the score 6
to at the half.
By the time the third period was
over with both teams having eight
points at the gun, it looked as though
extra playing time would be needed to
settle the argument, but with about a
minute yet to go in the last stanza,
Haworth, Fromberg forward, shot a
snappy one through the hoop and then
the Clark's Fork quint devoted its at
tention to holding that lead and sue
ceeded, taking the game 10 to 8.
The Saturday evening game be-
tween Billings and Fromberg, SO to 8,
