lad a chance to collect his wits.

scrap, Dugan had a severe hemor-
rhage from nose and mouth as a re-

him.
Schaeffer Quits
The bullying muscles Of Chief
Stearns, the Mobridge Indian, caused
Bat Schaeffer of Bismarck to de-
vclop a faint heart and frigid feet
and the latter disappeared from his
dressing room shortly before the
time set for his appearance in the
ring. 1t was said that Schaeffer
complained Of feeling faint and went
home.
A story in circulation today, how
ever. was to the effect that Schaef-
fer had approached the Indian with
a proposal that they stage q fake
fight. Les Mcdonald of Mandan,
the Indians manager, elected
Schaeffer from Stearn's dressing
room, however, refusing to let him
talk with his protcge. Schacffer
then disappeared. The Mysterious
Promoter" said today that. so far
as he is concerned, Schaeffer never
will be given another opportunity to
appear in a Bismarck ring.
| Another story in circulation was
that Schaeffer had been reached"
by a clique Of gamblers who had bet
money on him to win upon his prom
Use that he could induce Stearns to
frame" the fight. Failing to win
by negotiations Schaeffer was said
to have developed bad case Of "cold
feet"
Gray Has Promise
The showing of Jackie Gray was
considered by many fans to have in
dictated real promise. Pitted against
the more experienced and slightly
larger Sweeney, he handled himself
like naturqal boxer, punching and
counter punching with skill and
vigor.
There is no question that Bat
krause is staging a comeback. The

hours no.:ce after My Sullivan had
refused to face Ratzlaff, astounded
the fans with his good shape. Bat
was little fat about the waist but
his wind and legs can still hold the
stocky battler in many more fights
I Ratzlaff refused to open up al
any time during the slow match, the
Minot Iron man being content to
fight Il defensive battle and using
his bicycle when the going got
rough.

DEAN KELLY NAMED
PRESIDENT OF IDAHO
STATE UNIVERSITY

DIR. Frederick James Kelly, dean of
Minnesota and for five years one of
its most valuable executives, has ac-
cepted the presidency of the Univers-
ity of Idaho. He will succeed DR.. A.
II. Upham.
Dean Kelly is AZ years old and was
born at Wymore, Nebr Since he came
to Minnesota he has devoted much of
his time to studies of higher educa-
ton and also has directed the sum-
mer session at the university.
After graduating from the Uni
versity of Nebraska in 1902 he at
tended Columbia university, winning
his degree of doctor of philosophy in
1914. The following year he became
dean of the college of education at
the University of Kansas, holding this

He was president of the college

TRUCKING STOCK
SHOWS INCREASE
BURDEN ON HIGHWAYS IN
CREASES MORE RAPIDLY THAN
MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRA.
TION.

Evidence that the traffic burden on
the highways is growing more rapid
ly even than the registration of mot
or cars, is seen in two recent reports,
figures from which are quoted in d
bulletin to the Gazette. Total regis
tration has nearly doubled between
1921 to 1927, but registration of
trucks, which are heavier than pleas
ure cars and are in use more hours
per week, has more than trebled. And
the loads in the trucks are growing
larger.
An analysis of the report of the
Union Stockyards Co. of South St.
Paul shows that the average number
of animals in truck loads of stock
coming direct from farm to the ter
minal market is growing steadily.
In 1923 the average per truck was
IA, in 1926 it was Sc and in 1927 it
had increased to 9.3 animals per load.
The total number of loads was a lit
tie more than twice as great in 1927
as in 1928, but the number of ami
mails trucked in had nearly trebled.
In 1923, 27,890 trucks brought in 206,-
100 animals. In 1926, 59,993 trucks
brought in 519,254 head of stock and
in 1927, 64,168 truck brought 597,-
$50 animals. Trucking live stock
from farm to market has increased
steadily since road improvement be-
gan in earnest.
Registration of motor trucks in
creased AL per cent in 1927 over
1926, an analysis Of the figures on
registration given out by the Secre-
tary of State reveals. Registration
of pleasure cars increased only IL
per cent in the same period. The to-
tai number of trucks registered in
1927 was 81,281 and in 1926 it was
71,157. The number of passenger
cars was 565,O17 in 1927 and $685.
749 in 1926
The greatest increase was in the
s'T" class, which are limited to haul
ing farm products. There were &c.
294 in this class in 1927 and 3O,175
in 1926. In the "X" class, used for
delivery and general hauling, there
were Al ,534 in 1927 and 36,522 in
1926. In the "Y" class, commercial
hauling for hire, there were 3,198 in
1927 and 1887 in 1926. In the "S'
or special class there were 255 in
1927 and Alb in 1926.
Many cars registered in the "B"
class in 1926, dropped into the "a"
or $40 minimum class in 1927, while
the buying of new cars was not as
great as in some former years. Con-
sequently the registration of "a" cars
increased from 256,310 in 1926 to
265, 457 in 1927, while the registra-
ton in the 'B" class dropped from
302,439 in 1926 to 299,560 in 1927.
Passenger busses increased from
$40 to 3S4. Motorcycles decreased
from 2,55l to 2,295. The number of
registered trailers increased from q
666 to 1896. The total registration,
not counting dealers plates, was
$685. SOP in 1926 and 652,2 in 1927.

OUTLAWS LEAVE BOTTLES
FOR ST. JAMES MAYOR

Nine whiskey bottles were left at
the door of Mayor Fuller's office at
St. James Sunday night. The mayor,
says the St. James Plaindealer, thanks
law violators for these. He takes it
for granted that some bootlegger or
his friends have decided it will pay
no longer to drink the poison stuff,
so they have handed the bottles over
to the mayor and intend henceforth to
follow the constitution of the United
States and Carry out their good New
New Years resolutions.

age around them imperative II the river
above was to be navigated; yet, in that
event. q light draught steamer could be
placed above them. But who knew much
about the river above the falls? Appar-
emily no one here until in 1872 Thomas
H. Roberts was ordered to examine 1t
from Three Forks to Fort Benton. From
whom the order came is not stated.
Mr.. Roberts was in Helena presumably
when the order was received n i'm
mediately set about having a boat made
there, and hiring a crew. Lewis Barker,
who was a civil engineer, accompanied
Roberts as his assistant, and he was for
innate in securing six other men part OF
these being French Canadians who un-
derstood the management Of a small boat
like that Roberts had built.
More Water Than Ohio
The boats dimensions were "a feet IN
length, by four and a half feet in width.
The crew engaged and the boat finished
the next thing was its transportation to
Three Forks. This was accomplished by
means Of a freight team going to Fort
Ellis.
AT the junction of the Jefferson and
Madison q camp was made where the
boat was calked and pitched for its voy-
age down stream. Roberts found here by
measurement three times the volume OF
water han the Ohio shows at Pittsburgh
when at its lowest stage. Mr.. Roberts
called the jefferson the father Of the
Missouri, and the grandfather Of the
Mississippi"
A large island at the mouth Of the
Jefferson divides the stream, and MIR.
Roberts says: I'm exploring 1T a mile
above our camp we discovered where its
waters first mingle with those of the
Madison. / never saw two streams
unite in the same manner. They run
with swift currents, five or six feet deep,
and some 200 feet wide, directly toward
each other and hence at a right angle
their united volume agitated with the
rude contact, rushes northward. The
meeting Of the currents created great
swirls which nearly swamped our boat
when we attempted to shoot through"
This description of the union of the
rivers I have never seen given by other
visitors to Three Forks.
In reality, until this reconnaissance of
Mr., ROBERTS, the Missouri was little
known above the falls, except where the
road along its ours touched it. Now
it was to be surveyed for a definite pur-
pose, namely, to determine it's available
ity as a means of transportation. Today
the upper Missouri above Fort Benton
has ceased to be navigated, due to the
building Of railroads, with which the
river, If utilized as formerly, would come
into competition.
At noon of July 81 1879, everything
being in readiness, the boat started down
river. Mr.. Roberts has told Of it's in
terror arrangement.
Two Pairs of Oars
Two pairs of oars were kept in mo-
ton forward to aid steering, as we'll as
