task is to finish the work started five
years ago by General Dawes, Mr..
Young and their colleagues through
formulation of plan for final repara-

SHERIFF ALBERT GOES
TO ANTI CRIME MEET

Law enforcement officers of North
western states and Canadian provinces
will seek answer to the question why
SO few criminals are apprehended in
comparison to the number of crimes
committed, at the Anti-Crime Con-
ference to be held at Missoula, Mon
tana, July 18, 10 and 20, under the
auspices of the Northwest Associa-
tion Sheriffs and Police.
Conclusions reached at former con-
ferences, held annually for the past
ten years, point strongly toward lack
of harmony and cooperation between
city, county, state and federal law en-
forcement officers as one of the main
reasons why large volume of crime in
the United States is not checked.
Means of bringing about greater eff
ficiency and cooperation between law
enforcement officers will be the main
subject of discussion at the conference.
Every branch of law enforcement
will be we'll represented at the confer
ence, sheriffs and police chiefs being
Joined by Federal prohibition enforce
ment officers and other federal of
ficials, iudgs, prosecuting attorneys,
penitentiary officers, mayors of cities,
crime commissioners and professors. of
sociology and law from several state
universities. Chief constables of Can
adian cities are expected to represent
British Columbia and Alberta. Dis
cussion will be limitd to practical
means of law enforcement with the
legal machinery at hand.

of Seattle, has been president of the

26th, by the Montana Highway Com
mission for 16 projects throughout

grading of "A miles of new road, 85

timber bridges and one concrete span;
the building of four stock passes and
redecking of one bridge.

basic course of gravel on the stretch
of road from Rockvale to Roberts, a
distance Of Is miles. This is the first
layer of gravel and at some later date
a top dressing will be added. Con-
siderable work is now being done in
order to have the road in shape for the
gravel and it begins to look though
a good highway would be available
to Billings in the near future. The
road leading from Silesia to Laurel
also will be resurfaced as a bid will

REPUBLICAN WAR
HORSE VISITS TOWN

O. H. P. Shelley who directs the
policy of the Carbon County News at
Red Lodge, spent Thursday in Hardin
on a business mission. Mr.. Shelley
is one of the republican war horses Of
Montana and spends goodly portion
of his time at the national capitol
looking after interests affecting Mon
tana. For the past several months he
has been devoting his energies toward
getting the federal governments aid
for the building of road from Red
Lodge into Cooke City, and it ap-
pears that he is about to succeed in
his undertaking. The building of this
road would not only open up to de-
velopment wonderfully rich mineral
section, but would afford a new and
most picturesque entrance to the Yel-
lowstone National Park.-Hardin Tri-
bune.

NEW GEYSER is TO
BE MADE ACCESSIBLE

Four thousand dollars will be spent
in the Yellowstone National Park this
season for the construction and i'm
provement of nature and horseback
trails, over which tourists may gain
access to the areas of the park which
cars cannot reach.
The program calls for the construc-
iont of trails to the new geyser which
burst forth last year and which this
year is one of the most popular sights
of the park. Park busses are able at
present to get within three-quarters
of mile of the new spouter.
Nature trails and horseback trips
are becoming more and more popular
with the tourists and suitable trails
throughout the park must be main
tanned for their employment. Be-
sides the maintainance work this sum-
mer, park trail will be constructed
from West Thumb on Lake Yellow
stone to Snake river the southern
entrance of the park. Other trail
constructions are being contemplated
in the Bechler river county IN the
southwest corner of the national play
grounds.

BOSTON FAMILY WILL
SPEND A MONTH HERE

Mr.. and Mrs. T. H. Grey and
daughter, of Boston, Mass, arrived in
Red Lodge Sunday and at once took
up their residence in the new cabin
built during the past winter for them
west of town by All Croonquist. They
were preceded here three weeks ago
by their son, T. H. Grey, 3rd, and his
friend B. Thurber, the boys driving
from Boston in car.
Mr.. Grey is a retired wool man
and states that conditions at present
are not looking the best in wool circles,
but that perhaps the market will be-
come stabilized later. The eastern
buyers go by market conditions in
London and as the present day styles
do not include wool as heretofore, this,
in his opinion, is the reason for the
bad market condition.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grey have been visi-
tors to this part of the state each year
for the past three summers and hav-
ing bought the Martin Johnson ranch,
on the west of town, they decided to
have summer home built, with the
result they have beau tiul six-room
cabin in one of the prettiest spots in
the Beartooths. They will return east
in about month

Early tomorrow morning the small,

watch the Cole Bros. circus unload.
The show comes here from Laurel on
its own special train, and barring de-
lay, should arrive about five o'clock in
the morning,
This is the first visit Of oEiis circus
to our country for many years, it be-
ing a southern show and usually play
ing through the eastern states. Fin
ancial conditions are closely watched
by the show people and it is evident
that the west is where they figure the
money is freezer than any place else.
All circuses are making for this coun-
try. 1t is said that the Cole Bros.
show is a very nice aggregation and
that their show is exceptionally fine,
although it is not the largest show on
earth. This is all the better, as the
larger affairs are so big one is dis
appointed in not being able to see
everything that goes on.

MANY TRADITIONS IN

When you and your friends gather
around the card table for game of
bridge, or five hundred or pitch, do
you ever realize how many hundreds
of years of tradition are represented
in the little pasteboards which you
hold in your hand2 Would you be sur
prised if some one told you that in
playing cards you were performing a
semi-religious rite, not unlike the
divination ceremonies of the primitive
peoples?
And do you know what has been the
contribution of the Chinese, the Eng
lish, the Arabs and French to the de-
velopment of playing cards ? In this
weeks issue appears an Illustrated
feature article by Elmo Scott Watson,
which will answer those questions
