nOfCn Oh That town.
IS Miles Long
The proposed line will be approxi-
mately rs miles long, leaving the
main line of the Great Northern about
one mile west of Saco at a point
known as the big bend; and extend
ing north and west. 1t will open up
the entire Big Flat country. Word
from Saco announces that SURVEYORS
are now working on the proposed line.
Although President Budd made no
definite statement as to when the
road would be completed, he did say
that if present plans are realized, the
1870 grain crop on the Big Flat would
be hauled over the new branch.
The deciding factor in the PROPOSE
ton was the amount of summer till
age on the flat at this time, and cred
it is due to no other man of that sec
tion than w. H. Reed, who has con-
sistently followed this system of
farming in the face of prejudice.
The Big Flat committeeman have
worked upon the idea of a branch
line through their country for a num-
Der of years, never losing sight of
the fact that if the showing of an
amount of summer fallowed land al
ways producing a paying crop could
be exhibited to officials, the Great
Northern would construct a feeder
line through their country.
President Budds' official car ar
rived in Harlem last week end. The
party comprised, besides President
Budd, Mr.. Hoagland, consulting engi-
neer, and Mr.. Watkins, civil engineer.

One document bore the signature

Bertelson Steps On Gas
When Officers Open Fire

Opheim.-Hans Bertelson of Roam
wood, was accosted by two men in
car on the road west of town on
Thursday evening, the one waving a
flashlight. Thinking that they were
hold-up men by the manner of their
approach, Mr.. Bertelson stepped on
the gas and outdistanced them, being
shot at once. On reaching town he
stopped followed by the men who.
proved to be government officers who
searched his car. They had been pa
trolling for smugglers and liquor run
ners. They did not find any liquor as
Bertleson was merely driving to town
from the farm.

MINOT BOXER WINS
EASILY OVER TRAPP
COlOrless Fight Goes Ten Rounds
While Earl Wynne Piles Up Points
on COlOred BOxer-Other Good Ex-
hibitiOns.

The boxing card at Brush Lake
Sunday afternoon drew another large
crowd, and while the bouts did not
come up to the card two weeks ago,
it pleased the fans immensely.
The first preliminary was between
two youngsters, about II years of age
by the name of Hueth of Coalridge
and Bousilman of Williston. The
North Dakota boy had the advantage
of experience and while Hueth was
game he lost to Housilman by a
big margin.
The second bout was a fast affair
between Hans Anderson of Minot and
Clay Bolster of Plentywood. Both
boys put up a scrappy battle, but An
derson plainly showed his greater ex-
perience in the ring and was awarded
the decision by the Judges.
Paul Hueth of Coalridge and John
ME Compton of Minot next put on al
exhibition bout. The opponent sched
uled for Hueth did not show up fol
some unknown reason. Because O.

The following excerpts of the trim.
are taken from Schlee's own story:
London, Aug. 28.-It feels great to
realize you have crossed the Atlantic
In an airplane!
The weather was bad in spots The.
air was bumpy at all times. We en-
countered practically all weather con-
dltlons that heretofore have made flv-
ing dangerous.
We left Harbor Grace at 5:13 New
York time Saturday morning and had
excellent weather at the start. Our
plane made a beautiful take-off.
climbing into the air after running
only half of the field and sailing east
ly into the sky.
On and on we flew, now high, now
low. After considerable length of
time flying through rain, the clouds
thinned.
Later in the night the clouds got
thicker again. Dawn came but we
were not able to see land. We decid-
ed to go down and see where we were
and as we descended we suddenly saw
land under US through a rift in the
clouds. 1t was like waking after a
shipwreck to find yourself on a de-
serted island, wondering where you
were.
That glimpse OF land through the
clouds was our first sight of land
since we left and we had not even
seen the water since the night before.
We We're uncertain where we might
be. We thought we might be over
Ireland or France.
We flew along for a short time and
came to the sea side, which l sup
pose was the English Channel. We
/ passed over q city and saw a ship
! sailing away. 1 think now that that
was probably Plymouth. But we kept
on flying until we were completely
lost, and getting ourselves lost cost
us about three hours of flying time.
Drop Messages
Finally we came to a small town
and decided we had better drop a
message and find out where we were.
l dropped a couple of messages and
| Bill dropped one without getting an
answer. The first message was at.
tached to a piece of cardboard and the,
second was wropped in blue paper to
attract attention.
At last, after circling around, we
saw some people on the beach and I
dropped a scribbled message on a.
paper bag weighted with an orange
The message read:
please write the name of the town
in the sand"
We were then flying only about

Montana Must Pay u. S. Bill
Before State Gets Funds

Washington, Aug. 29.-Federal con-
tributions to states which have not
paid their obligations to the govern
ment will not be approved by Comp
troller General McCarl, he announced
today in refusing to approve payment
of a $4,000 federal contribution to
maternal and child welfare work in
Tennessee.
Montana has reduced her debt, aris-
ing from obligations for services IN
fighting forest fires, from $4,000 to
about $4,000 but it still falls within
the ruling of the comptroller and
will receive no further aid until the
debt is paid.

POPESKU POPS
INTO COURT AGAIN
Main Street "Chuck House" Man
Gets In Tolls of Law on Charge
OF Violating Law for PrOtec-
ton of Women Workers.

Jim POpesku, was arrested
again on another charge of viO-
lating the statutes of Montana
last Saturday. He was fined a
few days previous for failing to
pay his cigarette license tax.
POpesku is in the tolls of the
law this time on a charge of
working his female help longer
hours than the state law sane
tiOns. It is charged that he
works one woman very long hours
for low pay while he uses the
cat and mouse" system of evad-
ing the law with his Mattresses.
This is done by giving them lay
offs every few hours between
meals. 1t is asserted that this
does not relieve the offender
from paying the penalty for this
crime when the layOffs and the
OverwOrk take place within the
same twenty-fOur hours. The
fact that a girl is worked over
the statutory limit with the day
is the test fthe law.
The case is now before Justice
McElrOy but it may be sent to
the district court which has the
power to impose a stiff penalty.
Mr.. POpescu states that he has
now exterminated the cOckrOach-
es in his kitchen and that the
diner who went out and vomited
a few days ago when he ate soup
didn't swallow a cOcIxrOach. It is
said that it was a fly that got
caught in the broth after it
reached the counter.

s'Play Own Came
Ouimet's Advice
BY SOL METZGER.

The match that popularized golf
in America was played at Brook.
line in September, 1918, in rain
storm. The participants were Harry
Eardon and Ted Ray, then DOM
mating the golf world. and a 49,
year-old STRIPPING, Francis Ouimet,
hitherto unheard of outside of Bos-
ton, his home. 1t was a play-off for
the United States open title. AS
Ouimet went to the first tee that
morning he naturally felt the strain
that rested upon him. Fortunately,
Johnny McDcrmott, Americas lead
ing pro at the time, met him and
gave him words of sage advice.
"Play your own game, Francis"
said Johnny, and Francis did,
All through that battle this
youngster purposely avoided watch
ing his opponents play their shots.
lie never knew where they had
driven or what had happened to
their balls. BY sticking to his own
knitting, by playing his best brand
of golf and never worrying about
being inside them he emerged a
victor. He has told me the story
often.
In other words, the game is a
matter of playing your own shots
and not trying to outstroke the
other fellow. Even Bobby Jones
had to learn that before he scaled
the heights, although his game was
as sound as it is now. Once one
worries about his opponent his
game is bound to go on the rocks.
