WOLF POINT BOXER WINS
ONE ROUND BATTLE WITH
INSANE INDIAN

C. J., Ferguson, former VOL
Point boy. a photographer, lighr
weight boxer, and popular sports
man, has written a letter to the
Great Falls Tribune telling of g
thrilling adventure in real life in
the fur country just under the
arctic circle, where "Chick" has
been trapping the last two sea
son. The Tribune published the
letter and it is reprinted as fol
lows:
Anyone in search of adventure
could find no better place to sat
isfy that craving than in the great
frozen north country, judging from
a report of the winter activities
OF c. j. Ferguson. formerly prop
rietor of the Electric studio on
Central avenue, who is spending
his second year trapping in the
Mink lake country, about so miles
from the Mackenzie river, and
1000 miles from the farthest north
railway point.
In a letter to Chris Trebesch,
employe of the Rainbow hotel,
who was his partner for a year in
the north, Mr.. Ferguson relates an
experience he had with an insane
Indian, a member of the tribe that
inhabits that section of the coun-
try. Mr.. Trebesch recalls that
this same Indian, Babtieste Fran

here, it being the belief that cold

NEW LAWS IN EFFECT

(From the Montana Standard)
In Montana, if you are provided
with bad milk, you can complain
to the dairy commissioner or per
haps to the livestock sanitary
board. If, perchance, you should
be overcharged on a freight rate
you can find redress from the rail-
road commission. And today if
your barber gives you a bum shave
you can get satisfaction at the
hands of the state board of barber
examiners. If that permanent
wave should last only IS minutes
you can recourse to the state
board of cosmetologists. better
known to the trade as beauty
culturists.

JOHN D. PASSES
Goth BIRTHDAY
ONLY DEVIATION FROM DAILY
ROUTINE is CAKE FOR
DINNER

Tarrytown, N. Y, July EN-
tirely in accordance with the
rules for sane and simple living
which he advocates, John d
Rockefeller, Sr., Monday passed
his Goth birthday.
The only deviation from the
daily routine at Pocantico Hills
was the presence on the dinner
table Monday night of a big birth
day cake. Members of his family
assembled in the mansion as is
customary on his natal days.
Sane and simple living" to
Mr.. Rockefeller means, among
other things, privacy. To avoid
the camera man he remained away
from church Sunday, and Monday
a group of reporters and photo
graphers, who gathered outside
the high fence around his big
estate hoping to be invited inside,
were disappointed, as usual.
Mr.. Rockefeller's only public OBJ
.servance of the occasion was a
brief and formal statement, issued
night, in which he said he
had every reason to be grateful
on his Goth birthday because
everybody had been so kind and
good to him all the year"
with perfect health and full
Of hope and cheer for the future,
have nothing but kindness and
good will for everybody" the
statement concluded.
During the day many congratu-
atOry messages were received.

COL. SHERIDAN MEANS IT
Great Falls Tribune)

There's probably no more pOpu-
lar veteran in Montana, among
both buddies and civilians, than
Col. Charles L. Sheridan, who is
now collector of customs, with
Offices in Great Falls.
Every member of the American
Legion in the state knows Colonel
Sheridan. Those who don't know
him intimately, know him by name
and by sight. He's a mar among
men-a hale fellow, well met.
But so long as he is collector Of
customs, he's collector Of customs
and that doesn't mean perhaps.
At the recent American Legion
convention in Havre, the host city
arranged for a trip into Canada
as a feature of entertainment.
Canada has certain attractions
that draw veterans, among them a
c|ontraband which it is the bust
ness of the internal de-
partment to keep in a bottle. In
a stomach, it's different.
Colonel Sheridan attended the
convention this year, as he always
does. Before the boys left, he
gave them a tip. He said they
were welcome to indulge in all of
the beverages that Alberta could
offer so long as they yer in AL
berta. He wished them joy on
their trip. But, in coming back,
they need not attempt to smuggle
any of the stuff into this country,
because they just couldn't get it
across the line-that's all.
Some of the buddies, however,
didn't think the colonel meant
what he said. They had known
Charley" for years; surely, his
little tip was nothing more than
a public utterance for public con-
sumption. By no means could it
apply to men who had been in
France with him.
But it did. A lot of beer cross
ed the border from Canada to the
United States. 1t wasn't in bot
ties, however. The colonel's men
were on the job and they took 1t
away from the colonel's friends.
No matter how loudly they pro-
claimed their close association
with the colonel, the cOlonels
men kept on confiscating.
So today, scattered over Mont
ana, are a hundred or so buddies
who know that Colonel Sheridan,
Of customs. is a loyal
official of Uncle Sans government
as loyal and just as fearless
as when he faced %shrapnel in
When he says no booze
is to cross the border, he means
It. 1t may have inconVenienced
some of the legionaires, but we'll

VIDA WINS FROM
HAMBLIN II TO 6

Before a large crowd on the 4th
Vida beat Hamblin for the second
time this season. There was a
good sized crowd at the picnic and
as many or more witnessed the
ball game, the size Of the crowd
was near the 400 mark.
The game started very interest
ing at first by see-sawing, but
soon settled down and swung to
one side.
Vida also defeated Bloomfield
by an s to 6 count, on June &c.
Vida's standing now is 8 wins
and 2 loses. Not enough games
played to get going good.
The next game is supposed to
be on the Vida diamond Sunday,
July IA with the Mo. River Bridge
gang.
The following is the Hamblin
game in detail.

A BIG JOB AHEAD

Motor car needs will force thi
country to spend on the ayerag
at least twice as much money 70
road improvement during the mex
Is years as was spent in 1928
This is the statement of T. R
Agg, professor of highway en-
gineering at the Iowa State col
lege, who is rated as a leading
authority on the subject.
Mr.. Agg says the inevitable in
r a S e d highway expenditures
must or should come from these
sources;
Increased federal aid.
Increased taxes on heavier We
hicles.
Increase in the gas tax with 5
cents per gallon as the maximum.
this money to be used entirely for
state and interstate roads.
Estate taxes to supplement local
taxes for local roads.
Increase in the use of bonds.
these to be retired after the high
way systems have reached the
stage where new construction will
decline.
use of special assessments and
excess condemnation where mark
ed increases in property values
will result from Improvement pro-
%jects."
Montana already has adopted
some of Mr.. Agg's suggestions.
Our gas tax was increased to 5
cents a gallon on April /, and.
next year, motor car licenses will
be issued on the basis of the
weight of the vehicle. There does
not appear to be sufficient senti-
ment in this state as yet to sup
port a bonding program for road
construction, while the use of
"excess condemnation" is some
thing that few Montanans know
anything about.
Motor car registrations are in
creasing relatively far more rapid
ly than population. The utility of
the bus, truck and passenger car
is being extended daily. More
and more prosperity is becoming
intermingled with both the manu-
facturing of motor cars and their
operation.
The motor car is a modern ere
ati.n and Mr.. Agg says modern
nc rs of financing and building
will make this new road
prob m, created in turn by the
motor car, less arduous and de-
oidedly more favorable to the
continuance of present prosperity.
Mr.. Agg claims that bond issues
are to be of growing Importance
in highway financing. This is in
dictated by sentiment in various

Prison Colony Planned
 For Religious Fanatics

Victoria B. C.. Cept.13 3.P>-Seg- regsAion of fanatical Doukhabors by the Dominion government in an is land prison colony has been suggest ed by the authorities of British Co., lumbia.
 Disturbances arising from the practice of the Doukhohors of hold ing nude processions and their de- tiance of school laws have resulted in nearly 200 of them being jailed and a number of their children be- ing committed to public institutions.
 The plan for prison colony on Darcy Island in Georgia Bay has been placed before Dr. J. H. King Dominion minister of health, by pro- vincial authorities who contend that the disposition of fanatical groups among the sect is a dominion prob lem. The Doukhobors were brought into the provinces of British Colum- bia, Saskatchewan and Alberta by the Ottawa government under con- tract. None of the provinces off ciaIs pointed out could deal with the situation adequately.
