witness chair the young woman regis
tered contempt, her black eyes flashing
angrily at Mr. Blanton. 1t was evident

B. P. o. E. ANNUAL
DINNER DANCE rs AN
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

Leading the list of the unusually
delightful social affairs of the season
was the annual dinner-dance at the
Elks club Wednesday evening.
More lovely than ever before was
the hall resplendent in its artistic
decoration of the holiday season.
Graceful fir trees lavishly placed
about the hall reflected tinsel and
colorful adornment. Lovely, indeed,
was the hall where the dancers with
beautifully gowned women, danced to
melodious strains beneath the over
hanging boughs of fir and pine where
many colorful Christmas lights cast
soft an dentrancing glow.
The perfectly appointed dinner
tables held center adornment of a
miniature Christmas tree lighted with
tiny red candles.
Speedy Alden's orchestra furnished
the music to large crowd in at
tendance at this lovely affair, which
will be long and pleasantly remem-
bered.

REPORT GRAZING
FOR BEARTOOTH
REGION PAST YEAR

A tabulation of the grazing condi-
tions on the Beartooth forest for the
season 1928 has just been compiled
by the forestry office in Billings.
The season opens normally. about
May 20, but this year the opening date
was about one week later The open
ing date is determined by the actual
measurements of plant growth. Ordi
narily, by the time 25 per cent of the
heads of the earlier forage grasses
begin to show, it is safe to start graz
ing. This stage of development of the
plant normally comes about two weeks
after growth starts. The season ter
inmates usually about the last of
October on account of winter condi-
tions.
The report indicates that 3,432 head
Of cattle and 34,47S head Of sheep
were grazed The revenue derived
from this stock is about $4,000 an
nually. Approximately this same
number of stock will be authorized
for 1929 for the reason that the car
rylng capacity OF the range mas peen
pretty definitely determined and any
unusual variation from this number
of stock would be injurious to the
forest range.
The report further shows that 26
cattle and 525 sheep were lost from
poisonous plants, predatory animals
and other causes while grazing on the
forest.
The precipitation for the forest dur
ign the grazing period was about nine
per cent above normal. Consequently
excellent feed conditions resulted
throughout the period and stock which
were not sold for market purposes are
in excellent condition to so into the
winter.

MOUNTAIN RANCH
rs MODERN HOME;
HAS NO HIGHWAY

Bat" Psenda was visiting with his
mother the first of the week, return
ing yesterday to the Jess Simonton
ranch in the Clarks Fork section. The
ranch is away up in the moutains and
is one of the most beautiful places in
that section. Mr.. Simonton has to
go up pack trail along the Clark
canyon and everything is taken in on
horseback for nine miles.
The supplies for the winter must
be taken in during the fall and Mr..
Psenda will be unable to reach home
until some time in the late spring.
The ranch boasts of a range, bath
tub and even a portable electric light
ing plant, a wagon, all implements
necessary for hayiiig, and other con-
veniences, all of which had to be taken
apart and packed up the moutain side.

building up such mighty fine insti-

eff you ask us, we think Flash is
located in mighty fine building, con-
sidering that he's located in the wild
and woody west And we agree with
him when he says the interior of his
store would be credit to any COM

pretty busy. Not bad for a small
