Aviators here said his land
ing was miraculous" in view
of the load carried by the plane
and the rough section of the
field he was forced to select.
Edmund j. Moffett, principal
backer, said a new windshield
would be taken from DeHaviland
plane on the field and that a second
start would be made "soon."
With the army plane three hours
on its way, however, most ex-
perienced airmen said they feared
! it was too late for Smith to over
take them.
Filler Is Unnerved
The monoplane's gasoline supply
was replenished by three gallons
while mechanics hurried the task
of obtaining a new windshield.
Smith idled about the field.
well make it yet" the f1ier re-
marked. :.
Edmund Moffett, chief bacEer OF
the fight undertaking, was non
committal when asked II ne
thought Smith and Carter would
beat the army fliers.
Smith. who is 81, later appeared
slightly unnerved by his mishap. He
was taken by his father, Ernest w.
Smith. across the field to an empty
automobile and asked to lie down
in the tonneau. Two poncemen
stood guard.
Start Surprises Crowd
Maitland estimated the time re-
ouired to make the fight would be
from "a to 27 hours.
The start of the Army flight was
dramatic in it's unexpectedness.
"Good-by, boys; we're off," Malt
land said as he crawled into the
cabin.
Spectators thought the airmen
were posing for photographers until
Shis farewell was spoken.
Hopoff Is Sudden
The army plane was in the air
one minute after starting down the
runway.
The start was sudden. Lieuts.
Maitland and Hegenberger had ar
rived at the field only a few min
utes previously. Maitland ordered
a second rope barricade placed
around his ship. 1t appeared that
he would not be ready to take OH
for many minutes.
Suddenly both Maitland and his
navigator donned helmets and
jumpers. They entered the plane,
waved goodbye and were off.
Smith was standing only a few
feet from the runway when the
great olive drab plane took to the
air. He watched movements of the
pilots intently and smiled as the
big F'okker roared down the path
and then suddenly rose, heading
towards Hawaii.
Smith Is Confident
"I can give 'em two hours start
and beat EN-" Smith said.
The great plane scared toward
the Golden Gate.
Immediately after the departure
an Army officer was seen to walk
to Smith, who hoped to be first in
taking off, and embrace him.
Smith laughed.
Smith and his navigator, Capt
Charley Carter, engaged in hurried
activity as soon as the Fokker was
beyond sight.
Patrick Praises Smith
They made repeated trips between
the plane and their supply tent.
Smith was introduced to Maj
Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the
Army air service.
my boy, hope you make it, =
Gen. Patrick said. "You certainly
D have courage"
7 Thanks, general" the mail pilot
answered.
The Fokker scared into sky In
which hung comparatively low fog
The sun was bright and it was be-
lieved would dispel the fog before
the fiiers had gained much dis

Woman Claims He Took Poison
Draught and Departed.

Her husband has been threaten
ing to leave her and today drank or
pretended to drink a bottle he said
contained poison, Mrs. Charles Ross,
1920 w. Ohio ST., reported to police.
Then he ran from the house saying
he was going to leave town on the
next freight train, she said.
Police searched nearby railroad

floor and did some real warming
up" work. Wolf Point trotted out
amid the applause of her many root
ers. Referee Larim gave the teams
final instructions as to rules and the
blowing of the whistle started the
final game. Both teams worked with
a surprising speed. Plentywood's
passing was the best that had been
seen in the tournament. The branch
boys surprised the spectators with
their fine work. Their defense was
impregnable and on offense they
were far faster than the Evolves"
Plentywood scored two field goals
before Wolf Point awakened to the
fact that this was a real team. Mich
OILS connected for a field goal for
Wolf Point and Lang sneaked in be-
hind Gunther for two short shots.
The half ended with Plentywood on
the long end of a 1919 score.
Wolf Point came back strong in
the second half and overcome Plen-
tywood's lead. The Plentywood de-
Tense weakened and time after time
Kay Lang would break in for short
open shots. During this half Lang
connected with six field goals. La
Rogue would break up the offense of
the Plentywood forwards and forced
them to resort to long shots. Man
ney scored the only field goal for
Plentywood this half and also scored
three free throws. Huebner convert
ed one free throw. The game ended
with both teams playing fast, clean
ball and the final score was 28-16 in
favor of the fighting Wolves"
Kay Lang starred, scoring 16 points
for Wolf Point. The victors present
cd such a well balanced team that it
would be difficult to pick out a star
as the team possessed no weak play
ers. The evolves" were, undoubted-
ly, the best team in the tournament
and deserved to win. Everyone in the
district will await news of their
games at Bozeman.
The following teams were ranked
as a result of their playing ability:
1st-Wolf Point
2nd-Plentywood N
3rd-Poplar
4th-Outlook
5th-Antelope.
The officials picked an "all dis
trict" team which was announced fol-
lowing the awarding of the trophies,
and are as follows:
First team
Right forward, Smith of Poplar.
Left forward, Homme of Outlook.
Center, Moore of Wolf Point.
Right guard, Zeidler of Plenty

Left guard, LaRoque of Wolf Point.
Second team

the power task is entrusted exclusively to the
puissant arm of another of the States great nat
ural resources-hydroelectric power.
Today the coal mines of the four active Dis
tricts-located in Cascade, Carbon, Musselshell
and Rosebud counties-are using more than
10000 900 kilowatt hours per year of electrical
current generated by the Montara Power Com
pany, whose connected load of 10000 horsepower
for its 33 coal operating customers spells the ul-
innate in cheapness and dependability.
In efficiency, this invisible giant helps to make
possible a statewide output totaling more than
5000, 900 tons a year of Ignite and semi-bitum-
nous coal, $3.50 of which is consumed within the
State. In cheapness, it is less costly than tie
use of coal right at the pit mouth.
Next to the three transcontinental railroads
tfaversing the state, the largest coal producer ia
Montana is the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany. Time was, Is or 20 years ago, when its
fuel requirements at the Butte mines and at the
~silelters at Anaconda and Great Falls, were in
the reighborhood of 1000, 900 tons per year. To-
day because Of the electrification of it's oper-
ations, its annual fuel needs are only about one
third to one-half that amount.
The first coal district opened by the company
's that at Belt, acquired by Marcus Daily, and
t.-c.. is not now operating. Later the mines of
Sand Coulcc furnished fuel for ...a relatively

credit. Blair was the Culbertson
high scorer.
Outl0ok-Scobey
In game twelve, Outlook put the
popular Scobey team out of the list
with a 1913 score. Gibson and the
Pugh brothers were playing good
bail for Scobey while Goodlaxon
counted eighteen points for Outlook
and K. Homme turned in 10. Good
laXon has not been in the proper ply
sical condition and up to this game
had not supported Homme. Had he
been lit for the tourney these two
forwards might have turned in a
larger score for their tourney record.
Championship Game
The largest crowd ever gathered at
the school house was on hand to see
the final games. Every seat in the
gym was taken and spectators were
grouped around the floor Of the gym.
The first game was to decide third
place and was between Antelope and
Poplar. Poplar had defeated Ante
lope previously by a close score and
Antelope was out to place in the
awards. Both teams played good,
fast ball and showed an Improvement
over their previous playing. The Pop
lar team took the lead but the Ante
lope boys soon evened it up. Sloan
and Smith of Poplar began shooting
and put Poplar in the lead. Antelope
was unable to break through for
short shots. The half ended S-14 in
favor of Poplar. The last half Ante
lope out-scored Poplar but could not
overcome the lead. Antelope missed
many short shots and the last five
minutes attempted long shots but
without success. Proctor of Poplar
and Singleton were called out of the
game because of personal fouls. The
final score was 21-24 in favor of
Poplar.

state:
THE modern method Of underwriting coal
seams by machinery is possible only by the use
OF electrically operated motors.
battle-ground haulage Of coal by electric
motors, replacing horses and mules, Is cheaper
and more efficient.
3-Removal Of water from the mines by cleo
trical pr nping is a vast improvement over the
install:--.on and operation of long lines Of steam
pipe.
4-Operation of a central power plant cleo
trically equipped is cheaper and more efficient
than steam because current is turned on only
when needed, whereas maintenance Of a boiler
plant means keeping up steam all the time.
Thus, even though nothing but mine run and
slack were to be employed as fuel, the use Of
Montana Power current at regular published
rates has been found to be superior to steam op-
GRAFTON in every mining operation.
As some 10000 tons is mined annually At
Washoe, cheap and dependable electrical power
is a vital cost factor in the Anaconda Company's
Montana coai operation.
Incidentally, it might be stated, the connarv

Culling in the Spring

A little more culllng In the spring
may take out a few hens that do not
look as good as breeders and layers
as they did last fall. Sometimes a
few hens become 0 fat. Maybe one
or two will be heavy and listless and
tall to scratch for grain or come from
the roost promptly in the morning. A
little about the condition of a flock
can be told by opening the house sud-
denly on a sunny day. Watch the
good hens flock out and begin to IN
JOY the range.

latter went to the garage. The
man busted himself tinkering about
his automobile and the little fellow
went prying into corners.
Gaynor had a container with
about a quart Of kerosene on the

How much Of it the child drank
was not known, but when the
father was attracted by the groans
of his son, tell-tale marks of the

had happened.

Virginia to Tax Cats
Because They Prey
On Song-birds

RICHMOND, Va, July 20.--
Hawks, horned owls, crows,
minks, weasels have for some
time been persona no grata in
this neck of the woods.
And now cats, the common
garden variety, are about as
popular hereabouts as the spider
was to Little Miss Moffatt.
It's all on account of the wild
game. Wild game and owls and
cats don't get along and the
State is for the wild game.
Bounties have been paid to
killers of these so-called pests,
and the legislature has been
asked to place q tax on cats.
Cats are known to have PEN
chant for song-birds, young
chickens, and other infant fowl.

was at the top of the ladder and
must climb it slowly, writing on each
