MILES CITY WINS
STATE TOURNEY
BUTTE CENTRAL is SECOND:
LOCALS LOSE TWO
CONTESTS

Custer county high school of
Miles City, winner of the state
football eliminations last fall, add
ed the state basketball champion
ship to her list of trophies Satur-
day night by defeating Butte
Central, 80 to 25 at Bozeman.
Custer led all the way, but it
was battle from the start and for
time it appeared that the Ma
rooms of Butte might pull into the
lead To Central goes the doubt
full honor of having finished second
for three consecutive years. A
Custer county high school team
became champion in 1928 and
Miles City has placed seven times
in the IS tournaments.
Both teams heavy and expert
enced, the game was hard and
rough Custer led all the way,
but, with three minutes to go, Cen
trail needed but three points to
lead. Custer, however, played in
a half stall during the closing
minutes, breaking Central's de
tense, as did the diminutive Butte
public high school team to win
rrom Central last year, scoring on
5leepers just often enough to keep
a winning margin.
177 in a Games
It's point total of III in four
games also brings the Klosterman
rophy to Miles City for a second
year. Larimer, Clusters
anky center, outjammed and out
played Hanley, all-state tipoff man,
n the final game.

DEVANEY SAYS LONG
STRAW HOLDS MOISTURE

c. H. Devaney was in Wolf
Point the first of the week, and
while talking with the Herald re-
porter, the conversation happened
to turn to the matter of weather
and probable crop conditions.
Mr.. Devaney is an enthusiastic
booster for the combine, and is
of the opinion that, in addition
to greatly cheapening the cost of
harvesting grain, it performs a
service for the farmer in that the
long straw left after the combine
has passed over a field is ideal for
catching and holding the snow.
With a season such as last fall
was, so dry that there was no
moisture in the surface soil to
freeze, the matter of holding the
snow is a particularly desirable
feature. Although there was more
snow than usual last winter, the
water did not run off, but went
into the ground where the snow
lay
Mr.. Devaney said that he had
one 35 acre field of grain which
he cut with binder and that it
cost him more to cut and thresh
that than it did to combine $50
acre field. Devaney Brothers com
bined a sufficient amount of grain
for their neighbors to make their
payment on the machine and have
some money over.
One feature which is often not
stressed when talking about a
combine is the fact that it lessons
he number of operations neces-
;ary in harvesting wheat, and
lessons the loss from
;helling, etc.

FIRST BRIDGE
MEN ARE HERE
WORK TO START ON SPUR
FROM MACON TO
BUILDING SITE

Gordy l.. Reynolds, and three
other men, arrived here Monday
morning from Leavenworth, Kan
sas, forming the vanguard of the
crew which for the next eighteen
months will be. engaged in span
ming the Missouri with a huge
steel and concrete bridge. Glen
Fraser, who will be in charge with
of the work here for the Missouri
Valley Bridge and Iron Co. left
Leayenworth by car Monday and
is driving through
In conversation with a Herald
rep. esentative this week, Mr.. Rey-
nolds said that it will probably
be about six weeks before actual
construction OF the bridge is
started, but that the time between
now and then would be devoted
20 preliminary work One of the
first things to be done is to build
a spur of track from a point near
Macon to the site Of the bridge,
so that construction materials
can be taken direct to the ground.
Mr. Reynolds said that the com
pany will employ from 125 to IT'S
men when the work is at its
height A number of men will
necessarily be skilled men who
will have to be imported, but,
insofar as is possible, it is the
company's policy to employ local
labor. This would relieve the
bridge company of the necessity
of paying out large sums for trans
portation.
The Missouri Valley Bridge and |
iron Company, is the concern
which built the bridge across the |
Missouri at Williston, and they
are engaged in building large
bridges at a number of places in
this country and in Mexico. Mr..
toldaof a bridge recently
in Mexico which was
blown up by the rebels within
i've weeks after it had been ac-
;epted.

POPLAR INDIAN
SCHOOL WELL KEPT
COM MlTTEE FINDS INSTlTU-
TlON CLEAN; CLOTHING
AND FOOD GOOD

AS a result of the senatorial in
vestigation of the Indian Bureau
which is in progress, brought on
by the alleged abuses of the wards
of the government, the Indian de-
partment has been stung to the
quick and has been engaged in
marshalling evidence to refute the
charges made. To this end, E. B.
Indian affairs wrote Superintend-
ent Eggers early in February
directing him to appoint a COM
mittee of three prominent citizens,
located as near as practicable to
the school, to make an investiga-
ton of the way in which it is
managed, the condition of the
children, etc
This investigation was made on
February 18th by A. T. Listug, F.
H. Livingston and Dr. C. B. Lar
son, and the following is a copy
of the report which they submit
ted to Superintendent Eggers:
The Report
This is to certify that we, the
members of the in
vestigation committee, have on
this 18th day of February, 1929,

the Indian schools.

WHEELER SAVES
INDIAN PROBE
MONTANAN BRINGS BUREAU
DEFENDERS TO TIME BY
FlLIBuSTER

Washington, March 11-Despite
the organized opposition of the adj
ministration the investigation of
the Indian bureau is going to be
! continued by the senate Indian
affairs committee, $4,000 to carry
on the probe being allowed in the
| closing days of congress, and it is
conceded by everyone familiar
with the facts that it was the al
most single-handed filibuster start
ed by Senator B. K Wheeler of
Montana which first forced the re-
solution out of the committee and
then compelled the Indian bureau
defenders to withdraw their op-
position after they had twice pre-
vented the appropriation from
coming to vote on the floor of
the senate.
The senate subcommittee which
has charge of the Indian bureau
investigation consists of Senators
Frazer, LaFollette, Pine, Thomas
and Wheeler. The probe started
a year ago and already, as the re-
suit of field investigations and
hearings, the committee has col
lected a mass of amazing evidence
which it is hoped will be the
means of instituting drastic re-
forms in the manner in which the
governments 225,000 Indian wards
have been treated Seven Indian
reservations are located in Mon
tana and Senator Wheeler has
been especially active in seeing
that a complete investigation was
made on the Fort Peck, Fort Belk-
nap, Rocky Boy, Blackfeet, Flat
head, Crow and Tongue river re-
servations, where some $4,000 In
dams reside.
Facts Show neglect
The original appropriation of
$4,000 was exhausted in February
and Senator Frazier of North Da-
kota, chairman of the committee,
asked for an additional $4,000 to
carry on the work This was re-
erred to the senate committee on
audit and expenditures. Pressure
was brought to bear

CZECHS MEET COMPETITION
 BY PRODUCING MORE CARS

PRAGUE, Dec. 5.-Czecho-Slovak- ia, which is flooded with American cars, is not putting up tariff bar riers to meet American competi- ton. She is modernizing her automobile plants and putting in new machines which would pro- duce 100 cars day.
 Germany is the best customer of Czecho- -Slovakia after the United States. Although duty on German cars is lower than on American cars yet American machines are in favor not only because they sell cheaper but also of their endurance power.
 Eighteen per cent of the cars inn ported this year are American as compared with 73 per cent last year. The falling off of imports is due to the great increase in domestic Czecho-Slovak manufacturing pro- duction.

 The dam, which would be con- structed on the northern side of the deep-water channel which runs into the Cardiff docks on the Welsh side of the Bristol Channel, would open up this port as a great trade and passenger route linking Canada, the United States and South America, with Wales, 1 the Midlands and Western Eng land.
 It would extend from the Cardiff breakwater to Penarth and would transform Cardiff from a tidal
 port to a deep water harbor cap able of sheltering the biggest liners.

FAST GAMES ON TAP FOR HOOP
 FANS TONIGHT
Double Bill at High School Gym Brings Four Strong
 Teams Together

Two of the fastest of the seasons games are on tap this evening for the basketball fans when the Ju- neau Bremen and the High school alumni boys tangle, and the alumni girls undertake to teach the high school girls some of the finer points of the game. The first game, that between the girls teams, will be called promptly at 8 o'clock, and will be followed by the boys teams.
 The strong Bremen team is mak- ing it's first public appearance for the year. It is strong looking aggregation, ana promises to maKe the alumni extend themselves. With such cid city stars as Holman, Os- borne, Jung, Blake and Mangan assisted by Gallwas and Killiwich, the Bremen have a difficult lineup to penetrate. However, the Alumni believe they can do t with the Orme brothers, Garnick, Sturrook and Campen This should be a good fast game, as both teams arc striving to be in the running fer city championship.
 The girls game promises to be equally interesting. Some new ma- terial has been uncovered in the high school which promises to speed up the high girls. Their opponents are old heads at the game, and all stars of former years. With Lynda Stickney and Ada Minzgohr as guards, the Alumni have wonder ful defense which the high school may net be able to penetrate, while Ruth Krugness and Irene Burke should make up scoring machine hard to beat. Eva Robinson, from Seward, and Kathryn Nelson, for mer local player, will hold down the center berths and should make all that is needed to take the high school into camp. The high school girls are out to dispute the ability of the older girls to teach them anything. The lineup tonight will open with Dorothy Waldron and Lena Jackson as forwards, Marie Mead and Esther Jackson as cen i ters and Jeanette Stewart and Mur- iel Jar1nan as guards. The balance i of the string will be on hand to strengthen weak spots as they ap- pear. Coach Burns believes her team should give good account of itself tonight, and is depending upon the centers to carry the fight into the high school forward terri tory.
