ROD AND GUN CLUB
MAKE PETITIONS OF
GAME COMMISSION

The Red Lodge Rod and Gun club
held a meeting in the City Hall Mon
day evening. They petitioned the fish
and game commission to have open
season on the Chinese pheasants for
a period of five days, the limit to be
two birds day, provided that the fish
and game commission decides to open
the season in certain localities. The
club also petitioned the commission to
shorten the season on all birds from
10 days to days and asked that the
five-day season be granted early in
August on sage hens. The petitioning
of the club will not be final until
passed upon by the fish and game
commission, or will it affect the laws
as now govern the hunting season.
1t is reported that there are eight
or ten flocks of Hungarian cartridges
on Elbow creek and on ranches north
and east of Red Lodge. The original
of these flocks we're stocked by the
fish and game commission under the
direction of the Red Lodge Rod and
Gun club, and they are protected from
hunting, there being no open season
on these birds. A heavy penalty will
be administered to anyone killing
these birds at anytime.

COUNTY FILES
APPEAL IN THE
DRAPER CASE
Appeals Suit to Collect Over
$4,000 on Old Printing
Contract.

Carbon county filed an appeal in
the supreme court Wednesday, July
25, in the case of Carbon county
against Charles H. Draper, owner of
the Picket-Journal.
Nearly a year ago Carbon county
filed suit against Mr.. Draper for
more than $4,000, seeking to collect
overcharges that Mr.. Draper had
collected from the county at the time
he had the contract for the county
printing. After the case was filed a
demurrer was filed by the attorneys
representing Mr.. Draper and the
demurrer was argued before Judge
Horslzy at Helena in March of this
year. Judge Horsky sustained the
demurrer and the county is now ap-
pealing from the decision of Judge
Horsky, for the purpose of finding
out whether anyone can overeharge
the county and get away with it, with
out making proper refund on purely
technicality.
Judge Horsky rendered his decision
on June s. However, judgment was
not issued until July ID.

THE BOOSTERS CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS AT
ANNUAL MEETING

The Beartooth Boosters club held
their regular annual meeting in the
City Hall Monday evening at which
time the election of officers for the
ensuing year took place. G. A. JEFF
fiery was elected as president; J. j.
Gerondale, vice president, and A. E.
Madsen, treasurer. The members of
the governing board are Ed Bloom,
G. G. Bowler, d. M. Marine, Jr., Frank
McCleary and ]. P. Plunkett. Fol
lowing the election of officers, dis
cussion of the road program in Car
bon county ensued and various plans
and ideas were advanced as to the
best policy of increasing the road fund
Whereby secondary or lateral roads to
The main arteries could be built.
A 2-cent advance on gasoline tax
was advanced to go to the county for
local roads and the possibility of pc
titioning the county commissioners to
have an election at the same time of
the general election, to authorize the
issue of bonds to take up the out
standing road warrants. Vigorous OPP
position was expressed to an addi-
tional 2-cent gasoline tax to go to
the highway commission, the opinion
being that local or secondary roads
are more beneficial to the county than
main arteries. No definite action was
taken, the matter was left to be dis
cussed at meeting of later date.
1t was reported by the advisors of
the Boy Scout movement that two
troops Of Boy Scouts were now being
organized and an additional report
made by the committee that they
hoped to organize four troops.

CANNING PLANT
STARTED PACKING
SUNDAY MORNING
Large Acreage Insure S
Greater Output Than
Last Year.

The Red Lodge Canning company
opened its factory Sunday and started
to can peas. The first run vas about
GOO cases and on Monday nearly 1000
cases. The run Tuesday was late into
the night, when they filled up what
cans they had on hand and closed on
Wednesday, hoping to start again
Thursday upon receipt of a carload of
cans. This is the third year for the
operation of the Red Lodge factory.
The first year the turnout was esti-
mated at $4,000 cases of peas and last
season 1000 cases Of peas and 10000
cases of beans and other vegetables.
This year they estimate that they will
can about $4,000 cases of peas and TO-
600 cases of beans and other vege-
tables.
More than $50 acres of peas and
beans are under contract to the cam
ming company. The factory started
operating a little late this season,
due to the lateness of the season. The
crop this year, especially peas, is the
finest since the factory started, ac-
cording to the field men of the can
ming company
The company encountered some fin
ancial difficulties owing to miX-up
of some of the former owners and
new arrangements had to be made to
finance the pack. With the assistance
of two of the Red Lodge banks and
a number of enterprising citizens the
necessary financial aid was secured
and the operations of the factory are
now insured. With the cooperation
Of the growers there is no question
that this will be the most successful
season that the canning company has
ever enjoyed.
Commencing the last of the week
the factory will be running to full
capacity and about $50 people will be
employed during the season.
1t is estimated that the farmers
will receive something like 100000 for
their crops this year, as more than

LOCAL SPORTSMEN
PLANT 5000 BABY
TROUT In LOCALITY
Twin Lakes, Lime Greek and
Little Rock Creek Re-
ceive Allotment.

Ben Greenough of this city and
Oscar Moberg, engineer on the Red
Lodge branch line, have returned from
a fishing trip at sawtooth mountain.
In going, they took 5000 eastern
brook trout fingerlings, which they
planted in Twin lakes, Lime creek and
Little Rock creek. They fished two
days and both caught the limit each
day.
Mr.. Moberg states that the scenery
IN the mountain along the route Of the
proposed Red Lodge-Gooke City high
way is surpassed not even by that
found in the Yellowstone park. He re-
ports that he also took several pic
lures of their pack train of six horses
to show some of the hardships under
gone in order to stock the streams and
lakes with trout.
Mr.. Greenough and Mr.. Losekamp
underwent the same rugged journey
several years ago when they planted
fish in the same locality SO that future
generations might have at their dis
posal veritable sportsman's paradise.
Mr.. Moberg says this was his first
trip into that section Of Montana, and
from what he has seen, he will spend
his vacations there every summer. 1t
is one of the best fishing places in the
state and is reached only by pack
train, after journey Of six or eight
hours, he says.
Mr.. Greenough has been in the
mountains for 35 years, knows every
trail and is engaged in taking fish
ing parties into the Twin lakes coun-
try during the summer.
Mr.. Moberg reports that the first
days catch of trout was buried in the
snow in a glacier and on their return,
both days catches were packed in
canvas sacks in ice Clipped from the
glacier. When Red Lodge was reached
several large chunks of ice remained
in the improvised refrigerator. HI
concludes that this incident was one O
the many unusual things associated
with the natural wonders of Montana

vesting whereby the grain can be cut
and put in windows a day or so
earlier than it can be shocked. I'm
even ripe spots will mature in the
windrow and weeds will dry in short
time so that they can be threshed and
separated. These windows are made
by taking several old binders, remov-
ing the binder head and equipping
them with extension carriers so that
successive cuts will be deposited in
one continuous windrow The most
desirable arrangement for the average
farm is three 8-foot binders, making
24-foot windrow, and 16-foot COM
bine. Three such binders pulled by a
threeplow tractor will average rs to
so acres per day with two men.
"After the grain has become suf-
fieiently mature in the windows we
take our combines, raise the cutter bar
attach an ordinary hay loader with a
double cylinder to the combine and
usually find that the ordinary 16-foot
combine has no difficulty in handling
the 24-foot windrow. Our records
show that this method saves from
$3.50 to 81 per acre from the old
method Of shock threshing. By using
straw spreader on the combine all
Of the straw is left on the field and
can be used as a fertilizer. This
method works equally well in all kinds
Of grain and is particularly effective
in the threshing of flax, which has al
ways been a problem to the farmer,
especially in wet weather"
The Montana extension service is
emphasizing the importance of using
every precaution to avoid loss from
unevenly ripened grain this year, par
ticularly where the combine is used.
An emergency bulletin, by H. E. Muir
dock and M. L. Wilson of Montana
State college, has been prepared ex-
planning means of equipping combines
to handle unevenly ripened grain.
Copies of the bulletin may be obtained
without cost from county agricultural
agents or from the Montana extension
service, Bozeman.

HOT MINERAL BATHS
AT JOLIET PROVING
TO BE POPULAR

Visitors at the hot mineral baths at
Joliet pronounce the well at Joliet
as proving popular. The well, which
failed to produce oil is now producing
large flow of mineral-laden hot
water and reaches temperature of
III degrees.
Analysis of the water shows it con-
tains a large amount of minerals, de-
clared to be of benefit for some all
ments. Proof of the growing popu-
larity Of the well is shown in the num-
Der of people visiting the baths daily,
evenings and Sundays.
The company has additional bathing
facilities under construction and is
preparing to eventually accommodate
large number of people. A plunge
is among the items of equipment con-
templated for the future, which un-
doubtedly will draw many people.

According to the --latest returns from
the statewide primary, Wellington D.
Rankin was nominated for governor
by handsome majority over his three
contendors. The latest returns indi-
cate that Gov. J. E. Erickson is nomi-
mated to succeed himself for governor
by small margin Of 587 votes. This
was one of the surprises in the pri-
mary on the democratic ticket.
Albert Angstman, assistant attor-
ney general, has safe lead of 722
votes over Justice A. P. Stark. The
remainder of the nominations on both
the democratic and republican ticket
have safe majorities with the excep-
of Hamilton and W. E. Harmon of
ton of contest between Frank Cone
Bozman for secretary of state.
With all precincts reported in the
race between w. E. Harmon and
Frank Cone for the republican nomi-
nation for secretary of state, and the
official reports of three more coun-
ties, Cones lead late Tuesday night
advanced to II votes. The race now
stands:
Cone, 29,602; Harmon, 29,590.
The above tabulation includes the
reports of the state board of can
vassers on q counties and all but 10
counties reported officially.
Not in the history of Montana, so
far as any one at the state capitol can
recall, has there been such tight race
for any major state office as is be-
ing staged by w. E. Harmon and
Frank Cone for the republican nomi-
nation for secretary of state. Cone
led Tuesday night by nine votes, with
all but 13 counties reported officially,
and three precincts missing.
At one time Tuesday Cones ma
jority was one. A revision by the
state board of canvassers took six
votes from the Harmon total in one
county. A missing precinct netted
two more, giving Cone the lead of
nine.
However, from Butte Tuesday night
came a report that the official count
there will substract seven from Cones
vote in that county.
Meanwhile, though, interest was
centered on the Cone-Harmon race,
Governor Erickson's plurality over
Roy E Ayers of Lewistown for gov
ernor reached 5S7 and Albert Angst
man, losing few votes during the
day on reports of precincts missing
from his unofficial total, still main
tanned 722 lead over Justice "A. P.
Stark for the republican nomination
Tor the six-year supreme court term.
Tuesday night the votes ON these
three offices stood:
Ayers, 1862; Erickson, 24,239.
Angstman, 28,521; Stark, 27,799.
Cone, 29,576; Harmon, 29,567.

The nominees of the two major par
ties, with the republican candidate
first, follow:
