ARMY LADS HAND 0UT SWEET DEFEAT ID THE
 CITY BASEBALL NINE

B If last nights game may be taken as a sample the lookout for the indoor baseball season is promising. The turnout was good for the first game of the season and everyone enjoyed a pleasant, and at times, an exciting evening.
 In the absence of Stevenson, Gallo way did the delivering for the army andtprovided with good lead by his teammates in the first three innings during which the City was held score less he was never endangered except in the seventh inning when the City scored three runs Again the Army proceeded to connect with Jess offer ing who had replaced Jack Lien in the box for the City.
 It looked as tho the City was trying to smother the Signal Corps by num- bers. For they had players parked in almost every available spot but they were of no avail The old slugging propensities of the Army sparkled at times and promised to be the worry of opposing pitchers this season as in the past Hardly a member of either team but got a decent hit altho the Jo tn a
 Doc Roberts behind the bat for the City was one of the bright spots in their defense, and Uric for the Army, ran him a close second.
 The fielding was good and bad by streaks altho it was better than might be expected in the first game of the season. "Galloping" caught number of fastly spinning flies, but at other times failed in short throws to first.
 The Army lineup was Uric, catcher; w. Galloway, pitcher; Rose, first; Baker, second; Harris, shortstop; Clancy, third; Lenhart and D. Gallo way, fielders.
 The City lineup was shifted consid- erably but included Doc Roberts, catcher; lessen, pitcher; Andresen, first; Urbach, second; Bath, short stop; Manthey, third; fielders, Ros- ness, etc.
 1 Rev Macpherson called those at the plate and the bases were presided over by Francis Leslie. Another game is expected to be scheduled for the near future when the City will be out for revenge. The final score was Army 12; City 8.

PREDICTED PRESENT STORM

The unusual storm which Seward ties are at present enjoying was pre- dicted by Chief operator Sanford sev- eral days ago because of the excep- tionally strong earth currents that were playing back and forth on the cable, and which at times held up traf- fic.

IN WINTER UNIFORM

No, 1t isn't heavy artillery around the cable office, but simply the opera tors sparkling out in high top shoes as protection against the early winter weather now prevalent. Some of the men reported it was almost impossible to get to the radio station yesterday because of the high tide; the snow is now beginning to drift.

BOZEMAN firm
GIVEN CONTRACT
Bartholomew, Smith and ThOmp-
son Will Build Barn at
Fair Grounds

Contract for the building of the
new stock barn at the Inter- Mountain
fair grounds were let Tuesday to
Bartholomew, Smith and Thompson,
BOzeman contractors, whose bid was
$3,815.4O.
Work will be begun at once, and
the structure is expected to be finish
ed in time for the fair, August 80
and 81 and September l and 2. If
possible, all material will be purchas-
ed of local firms, and only union
labor will be used.
Four bids were submitted-Charles
Palmer, Belgrade, $3,759.60; Peter
Zier, $4,000; j. J. Mimack, $4,000, and
the successful firms. Although Bar
tholomew, Smith and Thompson's
figures were approximately $10O
higher than those of Mr.. Palmer, the
latter's were eliminated when he de-
clined the employ none but union lab
or.
Last year the fair board had con-
siderable trouble over the union labor
matter, and in view of the necessity
of completing the new barn by Aug.
ust 80 felt that no chances of delay
could be taken. Inasmuch as the diff
ference in bids was small, the board
decided to accept the one which, in
its judgement, would be most salts.

Wine TO BATTLE
Shepherd July IA
Will Be Main Event of Card at
Manhattan-LOOking for
Opponent for ThurstOn

For the main bout of another box
ing card to be staged at Manhattan
July IA, frankie Wine of Roundup,
we'll known in this territory for his
sensational defeat of Emmett Wo-
mack of Ennis at Manhattan some
time ago, has been matched with Ed
Shepherd of Salt Lake City, fighter
of considerable reputation.
The agreement stipulates that each
man make 167 pounds by p. m. of
the day of the bout. The contest. is
expected to arouse widespread inter-
est, and to furnish Bozeman and Gal
latin valley fans with some Of the
best entertainment they have yet
seen. Shepherd, from all reports, is
fully qualified to give Wine one of
the hardest fights of his career.
The Manhattan Swimming Pool as
sociation, which is sponsoring the
card, is now looking for a suitable
opponent for Young Thurston of Bel
grade, who has demonstrated that he
is boxer with a powerful punch in
either hand. Other preliminaries are
yet to be arranged.
Last Thursdays card at Manhat-
tan proved something of disappoint-
ment-for which the promoters can
net.be blamed. Womack easily dem
onstrated his superiority over Neis
Moe, the Plentywood boxer Of whom
much was expected, by knocking hin
out in the fourtR round of scheduled
10-round go. The northeast Montana
man had physique, but little else. II
was apparent that he feared Womack
who put him down for the count Of
four in the first round, and to the
floor again just before the bell sound
ed. In the second Moe claimed foul
which was disallowed. The third was
fairly even, Womack taking it easy
but early in the fourth he opened VI
again and Moe dropped to the canvas
claiming a foul. Referee OFT ROmney
however, counted him out.
Moe remained upon the floor, anC
later was removed to his dressing
room, where two physicians, Drs. Kel
ley and Jump, examined him. They
reported that while he was suffering
from a slight hernia, the injury haC
not been received in his battle witt

WINTER wheat
CROP ESTIMATED
At 100000 BU.

A 1927 winter wheat crop close to
ten million bushels'is indicated by the
state-federal crop report for June, re-
leased this week by J. G. Diamond,
agricultural statisticians The June
forecast of winter wheat ranges from
80 per cent of a normal in important
central Montana counties to 90 per
cent in south central Montana, with
the northwestern section of the state
averaging above this range and east
ern Montana somewhat below.
The average condition of the winter
wheat crop over the state was 86 per
cent of a normal and represents a gain
of one point during the month. This
is nine points higher than the condi-
tion of a year ago and about IL points
higher than the 10-year average for
June 1.
The crop was showing q rather
short top on the first of June, the
report says, but had stooled heavily

Most Counties of State
Shearing Under Way

Clear, warm weather with ideal
growing conditions prevailed in
large majority Of the counties during
the week ended June IL, according to
report issued by the division of pub
licity cooperating with the Montana
extension service.
All crops made splendid growth
last week. In Madison county the al
falfa is eight inches high and in
Prairie county the first croD is about
ready for cutting. In the counties
where sugar beets are extensively
grown, thinning and blocking is un.
der way. High water IN several coun-
ties threatens some damage to fields.
In Flathead the warm weather caused
considerable rise in the Flathead
river and the bottom lands are now
under water The GalIatin is also re-
ported high with nhch snow in the
mountains which, with continued
warm weather, win cause greater
1 rise in the river.

EARLY SUMMER
FALLOW IMPORTANT

1t is estimbated that 100000 quarts
of water are required to produce one
ton of dry weeds. There is an abun-
dance of moisture in the soil now,
but later on this year or even next
it may be dry. This is the reason
why summer fallow operations should
be pushed and the fallow kept clean
all summer.
In spite of the lateness of the sea-
son many farmers in Gallatin county
have already completed plowing of
summer fallow fields; others are
well along; but a few haven't started.
Unless blowing is to be completed
by June Is, fields should be disced
Immediately; this will help check the
weeds, start others growing, and en-
able plowing for a longer period, if
the weather should turn off hot and
dry.

Westerdale died less than two hours
later at the DeacOness hospital. Snyd-
er, although injured internally and
suffering from many severe cuts and
bruises, is expected to recover.
An inquest will be held, Coroner
H. F, West has announced, at 1870
o'clock this afternoon at the court
house.
The accident occurred about 4:2O
p. m. while the boys were returning
from a fishing trip. The helper eng
inc, which had taken N. P. No. 2 to
the top of the divide, was backing
down the hill at good rate of speed.
The impact demolished the light car
in which the youths were riding and
carried it and its occupants several
hundred feet before a stop could be
made.
The boys were at once placed upon
a speeder and brought to town, where
they were met by ambulances and
taken to the DeacOness hospital
Westerdale was unconscious and SO
grave were his hurts that no hope of
his surviving was entertained. His
back, both shoulders, collar bone and
legs were broken, and he had suffered

COUNTY ASSESSES
PROPERTY INPARK
Valuation of S1,OS9,2OO Placed
On BOOks-Fight Will Come
When Collection Tried

Following a trip Monday to Gard
iner by the county commissioners and
w. F. COwan, county assessor, the
latter has placed upon the assess
ment books 81 ,099,200 worth of prop
erty, located in the two-mile strip
on the northern edge of Yellowstone
National park and belonging to the
Yellowstone Park Transportation
company.
Effort to collect taxes upon this
valuation probably will be resisted by
the transportation concern, and the
matter will then be decided by the
courts. The strip of land in which
the property is located once was a
part of Gallatin county, but many
years ago was ceded to the govern
ment by the state, which expressly
reserved the right to tax personal
property and improvements fOunc
therein.
According to Assessor Cowan':
figures, the property involved is valu
ed as follows:
Buildings, $3.50, 900; White anC
Lincoln turing cars, 29 at 1000 each
$4,000; White coaches, 271 at $1,000
each, $271, 900; White trucks, % al
81 600 each, $4,000; Ford cars, q
at $500 each, $780,; machinery
100000; merchandise, $4,000
Total 81 ,O89, 200.
New White coaches and trucks COS
from $4,000 to $4,000 each, so the as
SCISSORS valuations would appear t,
be sufficiently conservative.

those samples sent in from the west
ern and northern sections.
Following is summary of the
tests made Of wheat samples:
Red River valley counties, 50
samples with an average weight Of
56.7 pounds, and average protein con-
tent Of l1.57 per cent; eastern and
central counties, not including Red
River valley, Is samples with an
average weight Of 500 pounds and
l1.0l per cent protein; southwestern
slope counties. Is samples with an
average weight Of 58.5 pounds and
ll.9O per cent protein; northwestern
counties, 6 samples with average
weight of 591 pounds and 1927 per
cent protein. The summary for the
districts is a total Of 179 samples
with an average weight Of .57.3
pounds and 1882 per cent protein.
Seventeen samples Of durum wheat
were secured and tested from Adams.
Cass. Dickey, kidder, LaMoure. Mel
son, Pierce, Trail and Wells coun-
ties. They had an average weight
Of 59.7 pounds and lf55 per cent
protein.
Practically all the samples Of wheat
tested to date 1t the college have
been unthreshrd head samples secured
by the county agents, points out Mr..
Mangels. Thrcshing Of wheat is now
becoming general over the state, but
the college Is able to give an early
preliminary report Of the wheat crop
due to the activities Of the county
agents in securing samples of grain
before threshing begins. Due to this
excellent cooperation Of the county
agents the farmers of North DaAo..
can be given very early information
on the general quality of their wheat
crops. Mr.. Mangcls adds.
more complete survey for test
weights and protein CONTEXT will be
made from the threshed samples that
are now coming in, and it is antici-
rated ny Nr Manpe's that loon
samples Of wheat will be gathered
and tested this fall at the agricul-
Suidi tUncge.
Better premiums are expected for
the high protein wheat from North
Dakota this year." states Mr.. Man
