school for children that are ordin-
arily deprived of the benefits of
home care and teaching. Each
year a number of children are
cared for and educated at the
school, and among these are some
children from Red Lodge. The

MONTANA WORKERS TO
Be GIVEN preference
ON STATE ROAD JOBS
INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM
GOVERNMENT INDICATES
FAVORABLE ATTITUDE

Local workers, looking toward
employment in connection with the
proposed Cooke City-Red Lodge
highway job, will not have to fear
undue outside competition, accord
ing to word received recently by
Congressman Scott Leavitt from
the Federal government.
Interest in the new highway to
be built across the Beartooths has
been great here, with some spec
ulation being made as to the pos
sibility of employment, both with
the contracting companies and
probable sub-contractors. An en-
couraging note has been sounded
by the government in regard to
road construction in Montana.
Last July 6 delegation repre-
senting the Montana State FEEDER
alton of Labor called on Congress
man Leavitt, with the statement
that it would greatly help the en-
ployment situation if more hand
labor could be performed in the
building of State and Federal
roads, and if preference could be
given local labor on the various
jobs.
Leavitt Immediately wired the
Secretary off Agriculture to ascer-
tain how far the federal govern
ment would go in granting this
petition. The answer received
from R. W. Dunlap, acting secre-
tary Of Agriculture, indicated that
the Federal government has no
objection to a clause in the high
way contracts recurring that, other
things being equal, local labor
shall be employed for the projects.
AS construction work and labor
are governed by the laws of each
state, it was also pointed out that
Chapter 102 Of the 1881 Montana
laws requires provision in con-
tracts giving preference to Mon
tana residents. The Department
Of Agriculture, it was further
stated, did not object to the in
sestion of clause requiring local
LABOR and the performance of more
hand work in the building of roads,

RED LODGE TAKES
ONE.SlDED GAME
At BR|DGER SUN.
Frequent Hits and Bases on
Balls Account for Score of
17-5. Bridger Scores Only
in Third Inning.

Only five runs were. allowed the
Bridger baseball team by the Red
Lodge club in the game played last
Sunday at Bridger, while the To-
cal outfit gathered enough hits
and bases on balls to bring the
final score to 17-5.
The Red Lodge team opened up
in the first inning with a single
by Vavich, first up, who crossed
the plate on a two base hit by
Michelcic. Gregory scored in the
same inning, two bases on balls
helping to advance the Red Lodge
batters. Scoring was steady
throughout the game.
Bridger garnered all its runs in
the third inning. Wadsworth, who
until that time had kept the Brid-
ger team practically hitless, re-
laxed slightly, and Bauman singh
ed. Crawford made first base on
an infield fly, and Wilson walked.
Olson drew a base on balls, passing
in run, A single was made by
0. Bauman and two-bagger by
Mitchell sent two more across the
plate, and two hits by Patek and
F.. Bauman completed the total
before the side was retired.
Red Lodge hits were we'll dis
tributed through the game, and
were assisted frequently by bases
given on balls. Mitchell, pitch
ing. for Bridger, struck out two
and passed five before he was re-
placed in the sixth inning by Bau-
man; Talbot batted for Bauman in
the sixth, and Mitchell covered
third. Bauman whitfield five Red
Lodge batters during his stay in
the box.
Wadsworth, starting for Red
Lodge on the mound, made two
strike-outs before Michelcic reliev-
ed him, to strike out another half
dozen Bridger men.
A feature of the game was the
number of we'll placed hits. A
stiff wind blowing from the out
field helped the Red Lodge bat
ters to drop a number Of hits be-
tween the outfield and the infield
in true Texas league style.

VIRGIN LAKES TO
Be STOCKED With
TROUT THIS WEEK
40, 1000 RainbOWs and Natives
to be Planted in East
Rosebud. Twelve Th0r.-
sand in Slide-rock and
Neighboring Lakes.

Twelve thousand eastern-brook
trout are being planted in Slide
Rock lake, and in lakes on the
north and south ranches of the
Black Fork of Rock creek this
week, while $4,000 are awaiting
transportation to the East Rose
bud and other Reartooth lakes.
Slide Rbck, virgin lake, is
being stocked by Ranger Nc
Lean and M. E. Martin, under di-
rection of the United States Fish
and Game commission. Seven
cans of fingerlings are being taken
up this week, and more will likely
be placed later. Richel lodge ard
Camp Senia are cooperating.
From the fish car brought in
last week, $4,000 minnows were
unloaded at the Red Lodge hatch
cry. About 10000 of these ere
rainbow trout and the rest gre
black-spotted natives. Most of
them will be planted in East Rose
bud lake within few weeks under
supervision of the State Fish and
Game commission and the Red
Lodge Rod and Gun club.
There are now approximately
!, 100000 new minnows on hand at
the hatchery-black spotted ma
tives that will be ready for plant
ing in two weeks and that will be
in good fighting trim for anglers
in two years. To care for these
and others, an expansion of the
hatchery may be necessary. Three
new rearing ponds will be built as
soon as possible, and the beaver
ponds south of the city may be
utilized as rearing ponds.
All eastern brook trout this year
are above the timberline, accord
ing to Fred Ripley, manager OF
the hatchery. The eastern brook
is one of the few varieties of trout
that spawns during the autumn
months, before the ice has COM
petely formed over lakes. Other
varieties, spawning in the spring
time, when timberline lakes are
too cold for the survival of min
nows, do not thrive at high alti-
tudes, waasf
More than 81 virgin lakes will
be made available to fishermen by
the opening of the Cooke City
highway. 1t is planned to stock
all of these as soon as necessary,
and if possible to introduce some
varieties of trout that are now un
common in the waters of this re-
gion. California golden trout,
which have been known to attain
a length of 16 inches in lakes hav-
ing an elevation Of over $4,000
feet, should thrive in the Bear
tooth lakes. Steelheads, or sal
mon trout, which have been plant
ed successfully in other parts Of
Montana, may be introduced here.
Some Montana lakes and streams
Of the Mission range now carry
golden trout.
Scarcity of water in the creeks
below Rockvale recently compelled
Ripley and S. Lawson to rescue
200 fish from there, which were
replaced in Rock Creek above Red
Lodge.

HUNTING
F0RI.L0OTERs OF
THE EDGAR BANK
All Railroads and Highways
Watched. Officials of
Four Counties Join in
Man Hunt.

Wednesday evening posses scar
ching the country about Pryor
creek canyon had not yet discov-
cred the two bandits who robbed
the Edgar State bank last Fri
day afternoon. Law forces of
Montana and Wyoming are carry
ing on the search.
Sheriff John Albert Of Red
Lodge, who led the first posse in
pursuit of the robbers from Edgar
last week is conducting the man
hunt in cooperation with officers
from Carbon county, and Yellow
stone county. Sheriffs and depu-
ties from Big Horn and Park coun-
ties in Wyoming are also working
III the region near Edgar and Pry-
or mountain. Men on foot and
horseback have been combing the
hills near Pryor creek for traces
of the bandits.
The pair were last seen by Al
bert O'Donnell, cashier Of the Ed
gar bank, as they headed toward
Pryor in an automobile. Then
green Chrysler coupe, abandoned
was found at the head of Pryor
canyon, leading investigators to
believe that the men had taken
refuge in the mountain gulches of
that region.
Pilot Earle Hale of Billings, in
a Lucas Always plane, surveyed
the country from the air last week
with deputy whi is familiar with
the area, but could locate no one
Last Friday the two bandits en-
tered the State bank at Edgar at
a time when Albert O. Donnel
cashier and son Of ]. l. O'Donnell
was alone in the place. They fore
ed O'Donnell into the bank vault
threatening him with pistols
Siezing about $4,000 in currency
and almost 5000 in silver they left
the bank and fled from town. o.

and followed the men to the point
where they abandoned their ca
at Pryor creek.
1t was reported that the bandits
had purchased a quantity of small
nails, which they scattered on th'
road behind their fleeing car t.
prevent pursuit.
According to descriptions of th
robbers, one of which was givel
by the proprietor of the Edga
hardware store who sold nails t.
the men, both are fairly younl

RED LODGE GOLFERS
WIN FROM BILLINGS

Red Lodge golfers were in good
form last Sunday winning close
ly contested inter-city match from
the Billings Golf and country club
by a score of 1926. More than
fifty players and members were in
town from Billings to participate
on the local course.
Pairings were made Sunday
morning, and the individual mat
ches were held during the day.
Both men and women took part,
the women playing nine-hole mat
ches, and the men shooting eigh-
teen. The Nassau system of scor-
ing was used, which allows one
point to the winner Of the first
nine holes of match, one point
to the winner of the second nine,
and one to the player who turns
in the best card for the full eigh-
teen.
G. c. Rowan of the Red Lodge
club had the best score for the day
with 78. F. Long and McBee, of
Billings, bagged respectively a 79
and an 80. Mrs. Keene and Mrs.
Davis of the Billings club tied at
81 for nine holes, the lowest score
in the women's division. Many of

PALE0NT0LOGIST
WORKING ON DRY
CREEK STRUCTURE
Discoverer of Dinosaur Eggs
Uncovers New Specimens.
Study May Benefit Oil
Drillers of Region.

The man who last summer dis
covered in the Beartooth noun
tains the first speciments of din
osaur eggs to be turned up in the
American continent is again in
this vicinity. DR.. Glenn Jepsen, of
Princeton u Diversity, has estab-
lished his camp near the head.
quarters of the Princeton expe-
dition at Piney Dell, south of Red
Lodge, and is continuing his OBJ
servations in this region.
DR.. Jepsen, conducting research
in the West as part o. the Scott
Fund expedition, has recently been
working in the Wind river and
Shoshone country. He will spend
about week here before contin-
uing East, and while mere is de-
voting a great deal Of attention
to the Dry Greek area
In shale rock of the Dry Creek
structure, DR.. Jepsen has already
discovered several excellent fos-
sill specimens proving coneiusively
that his findings of last year were
genuine. Fragments of the eggs
of the great pre-histcre lizards
We're found yesterday at Dry
Greek, and DR.. Jepsen has several
speciments of teeth of the giant
dinosaurs that roamed this terri
tory about one hundred million
years ago, while the Rocky noun
tain area was a sWampy, topical
region, before the peaks and ridges
of the Rockies had been thrust up
above the plains. One fossilized
tooth discovered was almost an
inch in diameter, and must have
been originally about six inches
long.
He also found in the sandstone
of the region number OF small,
jagged teeth that have been iden-
titled as teeth of the earliest var
iety of crocodile-huge reptiles
that lived in the long vanished
prehistoric rivers. Some of these
teeth are almost as well preserved
as they were when in good work
ing order in the jaws Of the old
time monsters. (
Besides the unearthing of ma
terial that is of interest and value
to science, DR.. Jepsen is aiding by
his studies the work of oil men at
Dry Greek. The. depth of the
upper crust on the oil field has
never been accurately determined
by oil men, nor have the positions
of the underlying rock layers been
well defined. By his discoveries,
DR.. Jepsen has classified the rock
in that region according to the
geological periods in which it was
deposited. This information may
be of aid to oil drillers in deter
mining the depth and position of
the TRUE pay sand In. the structure.
Included in the Scott Fund par
ty are Professor Ivan Alexander,
of Texas Christian university, Fort
Worth, Texas, and John Wood, Of
Rapid City, South Dakota. Jose.
Taoatao, of the Philippine islands,
and lately of the University of
Colorado, is accompanying them.
Practically the whole person
mel of the Princeton geological
expedition journeyed to Laramie,
Wyo., last week. In that vicinity
the University of Wyoming is con-
Quoting a summer camp for pur-
poses of study and research, and
the Princeton geologists are guests
there. Before the first of the
month the group will return to
Red Lodge and vicinity to resume
work in the Beartooths.
