SAFE BLOWERS
GET 5000 Cash
Robbery at BOzeman Hot Springs
Sunday Morning Entails
Total Loss of $1,000

Using nitroglycerine to remove the
outer door of the big safe at Boze-
man Hot Springs and breaking their
way into the money box with a cold
chisel and a hammer, burglars early
Sunday morning escaped with more
than $500 in cash. No trace of the
thieves has been found.
The robbery occurred, it is believed,
about o'clock in the morning for at
that hour Gerald COllett was aroused
by a sound which he supposed was
the report of a duck hunters gun. He
did not investigate. At 8 o'clock
Mrs. Fred Haskell, an employe at the
resort, discovered the wrecked safe
and notified Sam Collett. Communi-
cation was at once had with the sher-
iff, who as yet has made no arrest.
The burglars wore gloves so as to
avoid leaving fingerprints. Four
burned fuses were found. showing
that they had not been successful in
their first attempts to blow the safe
After the robbery, they made their
getaway in an automobile but in
what direction is not known. Besides
the loss of cash, the damage to the
safe and building will. bring the tota
to more than $1,000, it is said. NJ

Inn At GATEWAY
CLOSES SEASON
Has Cared for 5,4OO Tourists
Since June 19-PrOspects for
Big Business in 1928

After a most successful season, the
Gallatin Gateway Inn, the magnifi-
cent hotel erected last spring by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
railway, closed it's doors to the public
on Tuesday morning. The last busses
arrived at the inn Monday evening,
and with the departure of their pas
sengers on an early morning train the
Yellowstone park season for the Mil
waukee's gateway officially came to
an end.
Since the inn was opened last June
10, it was learned yesterday, 5,400
tourists, counting traffic in and out
of the park, have been handled, be-
sides a considerable patronage from
/ Bozeman and nearby Gallatin towns.
| From point of local interest, the big
event of the season was the Kiwanis
dinner, but in addition there have
been a number of brilliant social af-
fairs. During the summer many
prominent men and women from both
this country and Europe have regis
tered at the inn.
This years business has not only
been encouraging, but in reality has
exceeded expectations for the first
season and gives rise to the belief
say officials in charge, that the 1926
traffic will show an increase of ap
proximately loo per cent. More
guests were handled at Gallatin Gate
way Inn this year than in the frs
two years at Cody, Wyo., or in th'
first season at West Yellowstone.
Manager d. B. Young and his as
sistants, r. w. Myles and F. A. Ken
nedy, in charge of transportation af
fairs, are leaving for their headquar
ters in Chicago. The inn will b
closed and left in charge of a care
taker until next June.

Bison TO PLAY
MONTANA STATE
First Football Game of Season
on Cation Field Saturday,
Big Crowd Expected

After many years, the buffalo are
coming to Montana again. But this
time they are the "Bison" of North
Dakota State college, football players
who have accepted the buffalo as their
name and mascot. Famous through
out the midwest for their ability on
the gridiron, and hardened by two
weeks of intensive training, they will
be tough customers for the Bobcats
of Montana State college to face in
an opening game. The game is to be
played on Cation field here, Satur-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Montana State is facing the great
est football schedule of her history,
but with team that should be
stronger than any in the last few
years. With a sturdy line assured,
attention has been given to the back
field and some new men are being
used who are expected to thrill the To-
cal football fans with fast toting OF
the pigsxin. Injuries are the only
factor that might keen the Bobcats
from making a good showing against
the famous Bison team on Saturday
1t is generally accepted that ne
team can be Sudged by it's initial per.
fofmance, so there is little guessing
as to the direction the arrow of vic
tory will point Saturday night. Tht
North DakOtans are admittedly the
more experienced and have a larger
list of fast substitutes, but the Bob
cats have a new dash to add to theil
slight advantage In weight.
Tickets may be purchased at tn,
gate on Saturday. There is no sal
of Bobcat tickets this season, ther
being but two games in Bozeman
The opening Of college this weel
promises to bring hundreds of stu
dents for this football game and fai
weather will insure a large crowd o
followers of the famous MOntan
Bobcats.

THREE-FOURTHS
OF WHEAT CUT
Threshing Delayed by Damp
Weather-Light FrOsts Hit
Several Counties

HELENA.-Out of a probable IA
900 COO bushels of wheat to be thresh-
ed from MOntana's 1927 crop, ap-
proXimately IS per cent has been cut,
according to the crop report OF the
division of publicity and the state eX-
tension service.
In the eastern counties threshing of
winter wheat is almost complete and
spring wheat threshing Is making
rapid progress, but farther west only
part of the winter wheat has been
threshed, although most Of it has been
cut and spring grain is either being
cut on the green side or left to ma
ture within the next few days. In
Gallatin about One-half Of the win
ter wheat is threshed.
Cloudy damp weather with scat
tered showers in a majority Of the
grain growing sections of the state
during the first of the week delayed
threshing operations and retarded
ripening processes. The latter part
of the week was clear, though low
temperatures continued In most Sec
tiOns. Harvesting and threshing made
rapid progress the last half Of the
week in the eastern and central pOr-
tiOns of the state.
Light frOsts visited a number Oi
counties during the week. Three
counties, POndera, Madison, and Gal
latin, reported killing frOsts but sale
that damage was slight. Two light
fr0sts in the southern part of Gas
cade county resulted in some dam
age to garden truck and corn, but NJ
damage to grain. Light frOsts were
reported in Rosebud with little or NJ
damage to crops resulting. Similar
local frOsts visited Phillips and Cho
teau counties. Winter wheat seeding
is nearing completion with a goo,
stand showing in most sections.

AIR MAIL ROUTE
MEET POSTPONED
Preliminary Gathering, However
May Be Held-LegiOn Post
Active Here

The meeting planned for early Oc-
tOber by cities in Montana, Idaho and
Utah interested in an air mail route
to Salt Lake City has been post
poned, according to the Helena Inde-
pendent, until the return from Eur
ope of J. Irving Glover, second as
sistant postmaster general
A preliminary gathering, at some
point centrally located, may be held.
It is suggested that cities should take
advantage of the delay to prepare the
data the government must have be-
fore it determines upon a route. This
data should show how much air mail
can be furnished by each, and what
can be done about landing fields
equipped for air mail work.
The department Of commerce, 1t IS
said, is willing to obtain and equip
emergency air ports every % miles
on the proposed route. In BOzeman
the matter of acquiring a regular
landing field is being backed by the
American Legion post. It's commit
tee, of which DR.. V. R. Jones is chair
man, will make report at the next
meeting of the organization.
In the meantime Manager l.. E.
Hathaway of the BOzeman Chamber
of Commerce is endeavOring to ascer-
tain the amount of air mail that
might be contributed daily by Boze-
man residents and business houses.
This is a thing very difficult to de-
termine, and although Mr.. Hathaway
has made some progress he is not
yet ready to report.

TWO BITTER ROOT
MEN MAKE RECORD
IN HARVEST WORK

Two men cutting, threshing, and
delivering at the shipping point
seven miles away 10000 bushels
of grain in less than three weeks
is a feat which the WaddingtOn
brothers of the Bitter Root be-
lieve is not only unique but one
which sets a worlds record for
harvesting, says the Northwest
Tribune. of Stevensville.
The outfit consisted of a trac-
tor, a small combine, and two
light trucks, and was operated
from field to station by the two
men without outside help Three
weeks ago they began operations
on 400 acres of wheat at the Lee
WaddingtOn ranch, 10 miles north
west of Stevensville, and with no
interruption cut, threshed and de-
livered to the station at Florence
an average of 500 bushels per day.
