HOOVER GETS BEAR
PELT FROM FINLAND

Finland will furnish the White
House and President Herbert Hoover
with a magnificent bearskin, the
pelt of large male bruin with thick
brown and almost black fur. It was
obtained by three noted forest hunt
ers, Thorolf Blomquist, Kivinen and
Poyhonen during one of the winters
most exciting bear hunts.
The hunters related a. thrilling story
of their long drive with horses and
reindeer into the heart of the snow
clad forest of Finnish Lapland where
two brother Laplanders had "ringedn
the lairs Of female bear with two
cubs and that of her huge consort.
Intending to capture the latter
alive, the hunters placed sling of
wire rope before the entrance of the
den. When the head of the old bruin
appeared they attempted to imprison
him by pulling the sling taut, but the
rope, stiff with frost, failed to func-
tion, the animal then rose on his hind
legs to launch an attack, whereupon
the hunters were forced to shoot him.
The forest king, who locally was
dubbed "the president bear" was over
eight feet long and weighted $3.50
pounds.
Bear shooting is the favorite sport
IN Finnish Lapland where large num-
bers of them are hunted each year.
Foreign ministers are among the fas-
hlonables participating in this sport

The Every Pupil contest does not
limit competition to a select few, but
permits every pupil to participate.

tests, which are administered in the
regular classrooms of the respective
schools on the specified date.
The contest was originated by DR..

measurements at the Emporia school,
and is conducted under his general
direction. About $1,000 pupils en-

tremedous success has prompted the
bureau to prepare $4,000 tests this
year.
The elementary tests will be ad-
ministered to pupils in arithmetic,
reading, spelling, and English.

Coach Hartwig's men are to be reck
oned with hereafter and Red Lodg,
and Carbon county is proud of them
The tournament was good one
starting Wednesday evening and end
ing with the championship games
Saturday evening. Sixteen teams
were entered and the result was thai
Milqj City took first place; Butte
Central second; Roman, third; Bill.
lings, fourth; Great Falls, fifth; Ana.
conda, sixth; Red Lodge, seventh;
and Big Timber, eighth.
Red Lodge played four games in
the tournament. The first encounter
was on Thursday afternoon, it being
the last of the three afternoon games
and they beat Havre to the tune of
Il to 16. The last game Friday aft
ernoon saw their defeat at the hands
OF Miles City, the score ending up
So to II. This was not as bad de-
feat as it looked. The Miles CITY
aggregation had been touted all along
as being the winning team of the
tournament and this prediction was
not wrong. Red Lodge was not at
tempting to run up big score in this
game.
The third game was played on Sat
urday morning, it being the first
game in the morning and resulting
IN Red Lodge defeating Lewistown
% to 21. This entitled the local
quintet to play Billings in the finals
Saturday evening, the chances being
for fourth place if they won and
seventh if they lost. The boys were
plucky, but We're consoled with sew
enth place, the score being AZ to II.
Red Lodge had what might have been
termed a dark horse" aggregation.
At the start of the basketball season
1t was a bunch of new recruits that
responded to Coach Hartwig's call
for players. Not much was expected
and this prediction was freely ex-s
pressed all around. But the boys
fooled all the expert prognasticators
and continued to improve in their
playing as the season advanced.
Going to the county tournament at
Fromberg they took second place, but
were eligible to enter the district
tournament at Billings. At that
place they continued going stronger
and again took second place with the
stronger teams that played at that
place. 1t was felt that they would be
honored III every way at the state
tourney, but few of their best sup
porters were expecting that they
would do more than place at that
great meeting of the best players of
the state.
Other teams that were rated as be-
ing better were eliminated from the
tournament-but Carbon went on and
now are honored as being veteran
players.
The boys all played star parts and
it is felt that they should have had
some names from the team listed in
the all star teams, but the learned
sportsmen that arbitrarily name this
mythical team did not chose to pick
names from Carbon.
The lineup for the game between
Red Lodge and Billings was as fol-
