BEARTOOTH PICTURES
DRAW LARGE CROWDS

w. w. Flashman has decorated a
very attractive window in the News
office and many people are stopping
to admire the beautiful pictures on
display The center of the display
is a relief map of the Beartooth
mountains done in hand colors. IT
lis a photograph of large map sew
eral yards square which was made
by the late Fred Inabnit of Billings.
The history of this map is very in
teresting. Several years ago Mr.. In
Admit started in to build a map in
relief, all being to scale. The work
took many months and was absolute
ly correct in every dtail, as it was
made from data and topograph-
ic maps secured from the govern
ment. The height of the mountains
is one-fourth of an inch to each one
thousand feet.
The map was made by cutting thin
wood and glueing it on large wood
en- form and was finished with a put
ty-like substance which hardened af-
ter is being applied. After the map
was completed it was photographed
and Mr.. Flashman was fortunate in
securing one of the copies,
Surrounding the map is many
beautiful views of the Beartooths, all
having been photographed by Mr.
Flashman. Red cords run from the
pictures to the location on the map,
showing exactly where the picture
was taken. Hanging in the fore
ground is several copies of the new
colored folder which Flash had made
recently.

FIREARMS NOT FOR
CHILDREN UNDER Ia

That many Red Lodge parents are
ignorant of the fact that the use of
firearms by children under IA years
of age is forbidden by law is evident
County Attorney E. P. Conwell said
in commenting on the number OF
youngsters he had observed on the
streets with rifles, usually of small
caliber, under their arms.
Children under IA must not be per
mitted to carry or use firearms, Mr.
Conwell said, unless they are accom-
panied by their parents or guardians
The danger of fatal accidents is toe
great to permit overlooking of viola.
tions of the statutes in this respect
Several complaints already have
been made to this office regarding
reckless shooting by small boys, anc
the practice Of allowing them tc
carry and use firearms must be
stopped. If necessary, prosecutions
to compel observance Of the law ir
this respect will be instituted"
The provisions of sections 1860
and 1866 of the Montana Revised
Codes of 1921 relating to this matter
follow:
"Section 1866. Use of firearms
by children under the age of IA years
prohibited-It shall be unlawful for
any person, guardian, or any other
person, having the charge or custody
of any minor child under the age of
IA years, to permit such minor
child to carry or use any firearms of
any description, loaded with powder
and lead, in public, except when such
child is in the company Of such par
ent or guardian.
"Section 1866. Liability Of parent
or guardian.-Any parent or guard
ian, or other person, violating the
provisions Of this act shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and the county
attorney, on complaint of any per-
son, must prosecute violations of this
act.'

Frank McCleary, of the Motor Inn, re-
ceiyed one last Friday. This is re-
markable as the new design of car

The new car has three glass win
dows on the side and is merely a
different body mounted on the regular
Ford chassis. 1t is upholstered with
fine material in the manner of a
custom-built car. The drivers seat
may be moved forward or backward,
so that it can be adjusted to any
height of person so as to make it
comfortable for driving. The rear seat
is equipped with disappearing
center arm rest and stationary arm
rests are placed at either side The
rear compartment has silk curtains,
bow light and a flexible robe rail.
The body is built by Murray and is
said to be longer than the regular
Ford bodies. The car received last
week is deep black, trimmed in
mahogany and with silver finished
hardware Other colors are available,
in fact there is a wonderful choice
that can be made in color finishes.

Miss Marguerite Crandall, % wears
old and pretty, declared to be one Of
the most remarkable circus riders of
this or any other generation, like
practically all other performers of the
white tops" was literally born in
the arena. Miss Crandell represents
the fourth generation of a famous
circus family, all of whom are riders.
The laws of the circus are peculiar.
Indeed it would be considered an un-
pardonable offense for a performer
to marry outside his or her calling,
consequently the children have no op-
portunity to choose amy other call
ing.
The Cole Bros. Circus will exhibit
In Red Lodge on Friday, July 10Th.
The boys and girls of the Cole
Circus number almost a score. The
training of these children begins al
most at birth. In the vast majority
OF cases there is the powerful effect
of heredity, which exercikes an IN
fluetlce upon the child and helps it
to overcome obstacles to others we'll
nigh impossible. The chief effort is
to create courage and daring. The
muscles must be developed and the
lungs expanded, but at the same time
the brain must not be neglected.
Many gymnast has mental abilities
often lacking in the ordinary man.

CARBON'S GEOLOGY
INTERESTS VIRGINIANS

Carbon county was included in The
itinerary of one of the important
geological tours taken yearly by one
of the eastern schools The party cob
sisted of six automobiles loaded with
students from the Virginia Polytech-
ME Institute. The tour is under the
personal direction and supervision OF
Dr.. R. ]. Holden, professor of geology
of the Virginia Institute, located at
Blacksburg, Virginia.
The party entered the Big Horn
basin at Billings July 18th and followed
up the Clark's Fork river on their
way to Cody They were met at
Bridger, Montana by DR.. j. C. F.
Siegfriedt of Bearcreek, who person
ally conducted the party up the river
and instructed the students upon the
local geology of the region, which in
cludes the upper and lower Creta-
ceous as well as the Fort Union or
basal eocene.
Most of the party proceeded to-
wards Cody While the students who
were interested in paleontology and
the fossil deposits of Carbon county
were given side trip to the region
of the Eagle coal mine at Bearcreek,
Montana. The members who availed
themselves of the opportunity of in
vestigating the mammal deposits of
the basal eocene were; 7. V. Clagett,
j. L. Heirs, j. M. Jameson, B. F..
Moomaw, Jr., R. NJ. Richardson, R.
G, Sasscer, c. E. Sears, and H. H.
Waeche.
Dr.. Siegfriedt escorted the party in
to the realms of paleontology and ex-
hibited most of the important dis
eoveries recently made at Bearcreek.
DR.. Holden expressed regret that his
party was unable to spend more time
and make further detailed study of
this region at this time, but thought
that he would be able to bring a group
of students to make detailed geo
logical study Of the palozics and ter
tiaries.

HONEYMOON VIA
BOXCAR rs HALTED

Ben Mahr of Billings, Mrs. Main
and her sister, Miss Betty Miske, are
guests at the jail Mr. and Mrs. Main
are on a deferred honeymoon trip.
They were detained in Butte by pair
of deputy sheriffs and are being held
to enable the officers to determine
just why a young man took his 18-
year-old wife and 20-year-old sister,
in-laW on ride across Montana in a
boxcar.
Mahr said he was "born in Bridger
and reared in Billings He declared
he has job in Toppenish, Wash. and
that he was" trying to save carfare"
by beating his way-carfare, which,
he admits, he does not possess at
present.
Mahr is locked up in the cages on
the ground floor. The two young
women are confined with other women
inmates on the top floor The Miske
girl is dressed in boys clothing. Mrs.
Mahr wears a skirt. The two girls
were industriously putting cigarettes
along with other women inmates, and
wondering what it was all about.
1--WE were marred in Billings on
December 10th and had no honeymoon
trip until now," Mahr said, "My par
ents live in Bridger and my wife's
folks live in Billings. We have never
had any trouble with anyone.

statement, but they will investigate,

GOLD FROM BIG HORN
STIRS INTEREST HERE

Harry Abercrombie was in Lowell
last week from his camp on the Bic
Horn river and was displaying some
samples of gold which he had mined
from the bed of the river. The gold
had been purified with mercury and
was of rich yellow color, and amount
ed to several dollars worth for the
small amount he had refined.
During the past there have been
repeated efforts to mine gold from
the Big Horn river, but the nature
of the gold and the location in the
river required expensive dredging
and refining equipment that has re-
tarded the mining process of this
section of the state. It is the opin-
ion of Mr.. Abercrombie that there
is mineral of several kinds in pay
ing quantities in the Big Horn
mountains and he feels that in the
future capital for the necessary de-
velopment will become interested in
the possibilities for mineral wealth.
Silver and other metals are found
in the streams of this section in ad-
dition to gold.
Concerted efforts have been made
recently on the Sheridan side of the
mountain to organize mining on a
business basis and see that the Big
Horn mountains were properly pros
pected. Many people are afraid of
the mining business on account of
the swindles which have been con
nected with gold and mining, but
the present day needs are not for
promotion but for interesting busi-
ness interests in general prospect
and exploration of mining.
The West side of the Big Horns
are rich in minerals and the near
future may see some real develop
nent in our mining possibilities. 1t
S entirely possible that natural gas
Is fuel will some day play an i'm
oortant part in the mineral refining

INCOME TAX SHOWS
A LARGE INCREASE

Maintaining the gradual increase
pace of the last two years, income
taxes collected in Montana during the
fiscal year ending June 80, totaled
$3,039, 1890, a gain Of S216,615.87. OF
IA per cent, says report issued by
c. A. Rasmussen, collector of internal
revenue for the district of Montana.
The report shows incomes of indi-
viduals advanced enough to show a
56 per cent increase in taxes. Cor
poration income taxes decreased 15h
per cent.
Mr.. Rasmussen explained that this
drop was the result of the act Of 1928
which broadened specific exceptions
for corporations under $4,000, and
also reduced the rate from 1872 per
cent to u per cent.
The total aggregate of revenue col
lections for the district, including in
come, estate and miscellaneous, re-
veals an increase of 81 ,449, ,11452, or
approximately 4s per cent
1t should be explained however,
said Mr.. Rasmussen, that this in
cludes an increase of approximately
million and a quarter dollars of estate
taxes. The large increase in individual
incomes is accounted for at the col
lector's office by unusual large profit
in stock market transactions over the
state, and also by increased taxable
returns from farming and stock grow
ing districts. This situation applies
particularly to central and northern
Montana.
