YALE IS SCORED
FOR MD. BREAK

The University of Maryland's
scrappy football teams since the
advent of H. c. (Curly) Byrd as
coach are held up to the nation
as a splendid example of small
town boys making good ir the
big city" by an article entitled
80 Is Yale" in the December
number of Plain Talk Magsz zine.
The entire history of Mary
lands relations with Yale and
it's growth from a small institu-
ton of 300 boys to one Of 1900
male students and 400 goods are
gone into in this national publ
cation in an article satiring Yale
by Jerry Duganne.
Scheduled as Push over
Yale scheduled Maryland as a
''push-over," according to the
article, but when little Maryland
rose up and slew the Vale Co.
Hath, doing all t'oo pt"~ing
them
Maryland games, Yale cried
"enOukA4
land round heels" ION its
schedule as soon as it could con-
veniently do so.

CARNERA BOOED
BY FANS

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Christmas
comes in 35 days, but Santa
Claus is here already. This today
was the concensus of hosts Of fis.
tic fans and experts. Santa
Claus, they contended, is rersoni-
fled in the two judges and referee
who last night awarded a deci-
sion to Primo Camera, Italy's
ponderous pugilist, over King Le-
whisky, Chicago's retired fish
salesman.
The officials judgment at the
end of 10 rounds Of uninspired
mauling at the Chicago Stadium
was greeted with anything but
cordiality by some 10000 Gus
toners.

The patrons booed as Camera
walked out Of the Auditorium
The public'S displeasure gave way
to a dinning ovation when King,
the Ghetto's favorite, took his
bow.
Levinsky was the aggresSor
throughout, carrying the battle to
the human tower who outweighed
him by 78 pounds. In the third
he nearly floored the Italian with
a damaging left hook and in the
last round the Italian staggered
under a furry Of right swings.

President James Rowland An
gell, himself one Of the new
members of the projected board
Of control, announced the changes
at a meeting of the alumni
board executive committee.
The plan in brief calls for
reduction from six to two of
alumni representation on board
OF control, reduction from "a to
IL of the total membership, re-
duction from seven to four of the
executive committee, and aboli-
ton of the office of director Of
athletics.
Combine
True. the job of director, held
now by John M. Gates, is not
wiped out in so many words,
but is combined with that Of
chairman of the board of con,
troll, which now becomes purely
a faculty position. What is to
become of Gates, however, has
not yet been indicated.
Prof. r. Selden Rose holds the
Craftsmanship at present but
whether he will absorb the Gates
post is likewise unknown.

Such a statement, in reply t.
the recent one by Reed Harris,
editor of the Spectator, college
paper, that he "is ready and will
ing to substantiate any OF the
charges made against football
conditions at Columbia" is long
past due, the editorial contends.
It suggests that DR.. Edward s.
Elliott, director of athletics at the
university, is the proper author

ton"
Few Hold Scholarships
The editorial goes on to declare
that Columbia has guarded
against giving preferential treat
ment t. athletes, and claims that
fewer of them hold scholarships
or campus jobs than do non
athletic students.
From another source came fresh
fuel for the rumpus. In an
article by Christian Gauss, dean
of Princeton University, and ap-
bearing in a magazine, Harris's
charges are upheld.
Dean Gauss asserted that prac-
tically every college in the coun-
try has subsidized athletes. He
does not even exempt those insti-

WOLVERINES
HAVE MORE
POWER
BY BOB ZUPPKE
Illinois University CoachO.


Michigan, I believe. has more
all.around ability than Minnesota
and think the Wolverines will
take this annual game which fea-
lures the closing of the 1881 Big
Ten football season. Though Min
nesota has it's advocates, the
Michigan defense should be stub
born.
Harry Newman, one Of the best
passers in the country, is ap.
parently out of the picture at
Michigan. Tessmer is not as good
a thrower but is not to be sneezed
at.
ENCOURAGED by their showing
against Northwestern, 1ndiana's
Hoosiers will be inspired to play
themselves out against Purdue ana
anything may happen in this
game, although think Puroue
viii take it. Purdue appears 10
have greater backfield strength
and the lines should be stando11
at least.
Trouble For Badgers
Wisconsin may have a lot OF
trouble with Chicago and am
not sure the Badgers will win, al
though they have the oe1Cer
Northwestern will probably come
back strong against Iowa. Inc
wildcats had a narrow squeaIK:
against Indiana and they VIII
take nothing for granted IN tnelr
remaining games. All there seems
to be in prospect for Iowa IS
fruitless defensive struggle.
Ohio State of course has a 1aI
superior personnel to Illinois
which reached its peak agalnst
Wisconsin and then slipped BACK
Michigan State Stalwart
Last wear Detroit and Michl-
gan State played scoreless tie
but Detroit does not look as
strong while State has a strong,
experienced personnel, at least
its first eleven men, who were
stalwart enough to play an en-
tire game against Michigan. -,
Nebraska and Iowa State Will
battle for the Big Six champion
ship with the outlook favor1ng
Nebraska. Nebraska has not
shown any consistent power Of
fensively and this Is another OF
those anything may happen
games so I wouldn't be surprised
if it turned the other way, al.
though Nebraska probably WILL
have the advantage.
Missouri and Kansas is prob
ably toss-up, as both teams
have spotted records but think
Missouri will scratch it out.
Likes Irish Chances
Notre Dame to beat Southern
California is my guess because
all in all think the Irish have
greater aIl-around speed and
power.
It is contended that the Coast
team has just as much reserve
strength as Notre Dame but I
doubt it. The Irish will prob
ably have the greater ability to
score from a distance which
breaks up ball games. They will
have the best back on the field
in Marchmont Schwartz if he
keeps up his three-year gait and
the boy has been consistent.
Southern California has some
outstanding backs in Mohler,
quarterback. and Pinckert, half
back. The Trojans were defeated
by st. Mary's in their first game
but have rolled along ever since
although California held them
to one touchdown. The Irish
have not had any serious opposi-
ton since their scoreless tie
against Northwestern.

ACCEPTANCE Of ROAD
CONTRACTS PENDING.
SURVEY IS ADVANCED

No definite information was
forthcoming yesterday as to which
construction companies are to have
the contracts for the Cooke City
highway, although an announce
ment was expected momentarily.
Meanwhile, work on the surveying
of the route has been progressing
rapidly during the past week.
A contract for the work on Unit
B of the proposed road was offered
to the Oregon company of McNutt
and Pyle last Monday, July 13,
which company was allowed ten
days in which to accept the con-
tract at the stipulated figures.
Their decision should be announced
within a day or two. In the event
that McNutt and Pyle do not take
up the job, it is likely that the
Winston Brothers, Minneapolis,
will take over the complete pro-
jeet.
H. E. Mitchell, government engi-
neer, has been carrying on recon
Nuisance work on the Clark"s
Fonk section Of the route, and

between the Nordquist ranch and

send two more surveying parties
into the territory from the Nord-
quist ranch. One crew will be
occupied in running line from
Nordquist's to Beartooth lake and
the other is to make a location

boundry of the Yellowstone park.
The boundary in that region has
never been accurately lined out
before this time.

OHIO NO. l rs READY
FOR TEST NEXT WEEK

Work at the Ohio Industrial
well no. 1, on the Souders area at
Dry Creek, has progressed to a
stage where a test can be made
next week, while the Margaret
Souders, about quarter of mile
north, is at 1000 feet.
After bailing mud from the bore
of the Ohio last week, concrete
work was set in, and a definite
test is to be made as soon as the
fill has set. The we'll is now in
the sand at about $3.50 feet, and
expected to produce soon.
The ,Beartooth no. l we'll of
Cook, Weber and Orchard, located
further up on the structure, is
now at approximately 1000 feet.
Pay sand may be struck there
within another 500 feet.
No definite plans for the drill
ing of new wells at Dry Greek
have been announced, and further
tests this summer may be held up
in anticipation of a better market.

IMPORTANT FOSSIL
DISCOVERY TURNED
UP BY BIOLOGISTS
Specimens Of Prehistoric
Fish Found at Beartooth
Butte by Princeton Group

Freak fish have been caught in
the streams and lakes of this re-
gion, but members of the Prince
ton geological expedition, are per-
haps the first men ever to find
freak fish in the rocks of the
Beartooth mountains.
Such discovery was made last
week by Professors R. T. Cham
berlain and w. A. Bucher, while
studying the geological formations
in the region of Beartooth lake.
On Beartooth butte, in the red
shale rock that forms the face of
the buttes, they dug up fossil frag-
ments, which were Unidentified as
parts of prehistoric animal, the
ostracoderm.
The ostracoderm, a fish-like-
creature that lived on the earth
more than $50 millions of years
ago, has been classified as one of
the first forms of fishes to ap-
pear on the earth in the course of
geological evolution. In size it.
was six or eight inches long, and
in general appearance resembled
combination between a crab and
fish-its body being covered by
bony plate, much like the thorax
of crab, from which projected
scaly vertebrate tail, ending with
tail fin. The creature possessed
two iointed flippers, somewhat
like the large claws of a cray
fish.

at time when the earlier forms 0f
fishes were first appearing on the
earth, and is considered by some
geologists to be the linking animal
between the vertebrate fishes and
the lower forms of invertebrate
animals.
The rock formation in which the
Beartooth specimens were found
consists of shale and sandstone.

COMMISSION ORDERS
REPORT ON RATES Of
BILLINGS GAS COMPANY

An order by the Public Service
commission of Montana, affecting
gas rates in the towns of Bridger,
Edgar, Fromberg, Joliet, Silesia,
Laurel, Park City and Billings,
was handed down to the Billings
Gas company this week, following
an agitation for lower rates that
has been carried on recently in
the district.
After a session of the commits
sion, held in it's offices in Helena
July IA, the Billings Gas company
was directed to file with the COM
mission statement Of it's rates
and charges for natural gas SER
vice in all towns supplied by that
company. A schedule of gas rates
was also drafted for use by the
company, to become effective July
Is, and to be used until a possible
revision is made by the commits
sion.
Ihe schedule, known as Tariff
no. 6, indicates charge of fifty
cents per thousand cubic feet for
the first 5000 feet, with smaller
rate being charged for greater
amounts of gas consumed, accord
ing to fixed scale. When more
than 100000 feet per month are
used, the rate is fixed at only
fifteen cents per thousand feet.
The minimum monthly bill is
S1.25.
1t was further ordered that the
Billings company should submit to
the commission each month, be-
ginning in September, a sworn and
itemized statement of income and
operation expense for the pre-
ceding month.
The order was signed by Lee
Dennis, chairman, and Daniel
Boyle and Leonard Young, com-
missioners.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
FINANCES READ AT
RED CROSS MEETING

The Carbon county chapter of
the American Red Cross held a
meeting Saturday, July II, at
which the annual financial report
of the chapter was read, and new
officers elected.
Mrs. James Burnett was elected
as president of the chapter for
the coming year, Mrs. R. G. Mar
tin, president for the past two
years, having recently asked to
be relieved of her duties. Mrs.
Robert Tisdale was placed as vice
president. Mrs. G. G. Bowlen is
the new treasurer, and Mrs. James
Brophy, secretary.
In the financial report submit
ted, it was noted that the balance
left from former years in the
chapter treasury had been drawn
on this year, and would probably
be exhausted before the end of
the year. Unusual drafts have
been made upon funds by the re-
cent hard times and drought in
some sections of the country.

.BLAzES IN MONTANA
WYOMING AND IDAHO
ARE RAzINC FORESTS

Although no forest fires were
reported in the Bearcooth noun
tains, smoke was, thick on the.
Carbon county horizon from fires
in other parts of Montana and
Wyoming last week. Blazes in
the Missoula national forest re-
gion, and near the Pryor noun
tains, were giving the forest SER
vice trouble last week, and fires
are still raging in the Idaho Clear
water forest and the Bighorn for
est of Wyoming.
A fire that was started in the
Pryor mountains, near Punch Bowl
creek, was brought under control
by trail crew. An electrical
storm, which was accompanied by
little or no rain, caused the fire.
Yesterday a fire on Hemloek
creek, in the Clearwater forest,
had taken almost $4,000 acres.

dnection of airplane observers,

The Willow park section of the

valuable timber. Wyoming for
est officials have issued closing
orders on some sections of the tim
Der lands where fires were extern

Forests in Montana, Wyoming
and Idaho are unusually dry this
summer. The mildness of the last
winter left little snow in the noun
tain gulchs, and most streams are
running low this summer. Under
Lrush in the mountains is partic-
Ilarly tinder-like at this time, and

cial warnings to tourists and
campers to be careful with ma

WATER SUPPLY IS
AT Low EbB IN
COUNTY bitches
Economy is Being Enforced
by Commissioners; Some
Loss by Theft Reported.

Water shortage in the county
has become more noticeable during
the dry weather of July, with loss
of watre due to the evaporation
and theft contributing to the gen
eral scarcity. The general water
level is lower than it has been for
the past several years, and econ
omy and careful usage is being
urged by the water commission.
"Water is shorter this year than
at any time during the past three
of four says Sam Bowman, coun-
ty water commissioner, and we
are forced to handle the situation
with a smaller force than usual" :"
The Rocky Fork ditch, which
usually averages 5000 inches, is
now carrying 2,363 inches, and the
First Chance, largest open ditch,
is flowing 1926 inches. The Pros
perity and Elbow measure about
1900. The largest dry area ir
the county lies between the head
on Rock creek and the vicinity of
Roberts, two-thirds of which is
practically dry. Of the II bitches
in this area, only three are open
at all times.
Below Roberts, three-fourths of
the land has been kept pretty well
under irrigation, although the only
open water between Roberts and
the lower end is contained in the
Macdonald, Maryott, and Rocky
Ford bitches. The Macdonald dit
ch runs 46 miles to the Worth
ranch, and has been carrying a
fair amount of water this spring.
The Rosebud is now supplying
approximately 450 inches of water,
mostly to the Prosperity and Nut
ting bitches. 1t is possible that
800 more inches can be drawn from
there later in the season. The
greatest difficulty with the water
in that section has been the dump
ing into Dry Volney; water thrown
that way quickly seeps away in

COUNCIL APPROVES
CITY BUDGET AND
ANNUAL TAX LEVY
Ordinance Granting Gas
Franchise is Passed at
Regular Session Tuesday.

At regular meeting of the Red
Lodge city council, Tuesday, July
IA, quorum of aldermen passed
and approved resolutions and or
dinances relative to the city tax
levy for the coming year, and the
gas franchise recently granted.
The monthly report of the city
treasurer was approved by the
council, and the yearly statement
was passed upon at the same time.
In a resolution fixing the an
nual tax levy, a levy of 26 mills
on the assessed valuation of Red
Lodge property was fixed upon,
nine mills being allotted to the
general fund, and the rest to the
various city maintenance funds.
The appropriation for mainten-
ance of city offices and depart
ments for the current fiscal year,
1881, was approved.
The ordinance granting the
Montana Power company the right
to install and operate natural
gas system in Red Lodge for q
period of 30 years was passed by
the council and duly signed By
Mayor Edgar Allen.
During the course of the ses-
sion, the possibility of a zoning
law to regulate building construc-
ton in the downtown district was
considered. No action was taken
in this direction, however, it being
generally agreed that such law
would prove impracticable at this
time in Red Lodge.
A petition from property owners
of the district near the tourist park
and south Hauser street, for an
extension of the city water mains,
was heard and discussed by the
council. 1t was decided that the
extension could be built if the city
received temporary financial CO.
operation from the property own
ers and interested parties on the
line.

and ordinances passed by the coun-
Gil appears in this issue of The

PURL0INERS OF Mp.
PROPERTY ARRESTED
NEAR HERE SATURDAY

Thefts of Northern Pacific rail
road property along the Red
Lodge branch line, occurring with
increasing regularity, brought R.
A. Shannon, special agent for the
Northern Pacific. into this ter
ritory last week. As result,
John and Weino Poutto were under
arrest last Saturday, charged with
the stealing of more than thirty
five dollars worth of railroad prop
erty.
For some time complaints have
been made by station agents at
Fox, Roberts, and Selmes about
the disappearance of railroad ties
and grain-doors from storage
places on the railroad premises.
Saturday, Shannon and Sheriff
John Albert made thorough in
vestigation near the scenes of
thievery, and succeeded in locat-
ing part of the stolen property.
The Pouttos were brought to
Red Lodge and arraigned before
E. B. Provinse, justice of the
peace, Monday. They were re-
leased after paying fines of SIS
each, and paying for the stolen
ties.
THE Northern Pacific does not
wish to unduly prosecute petty
thefts of its property" said Shan
non, in regard to the matter, "but
it does wish its property and
equipment to remain undisturbed.
Small thefts of these ties and
other goods may seem unimpor-
tant, but the totals of these minor
depredations represent large loss
es to the railroad. We intend to
suppress it as much as possible. :"
