biologists that is to carry on re-
search in the Beartooth mountains
this summer, three members OF
the Princeton geological expe i
tion arrived in Red Lodge last
Tuesday, and are now established
in their temporary camp on Rock
creek. They are Joe w. Peoples,

TASK OF STALKING OUT new RED
LODGE COOKE CITY HIGHWAY is
Begun BY ENGINEER MITCHELL

tory by May |, but inclement wea-
Their since that time made the
plan impossible. v
Engineer Mitchell, who also
supervised the road location sur
vey in 1927, says "The road will
be open on an average of fouf
months out of the year. If a half
mile of snow fence was to be built
the highway could be kept open
the year round"
Specifications for the 60-mile
stretch of scenic roadway calls
for a 14-foot crushed rock CEN
ter, with earthen shoulders. The
road will be sufficiently elevated
to permit the draining off snow
and water in moderately wet wea~
tier.
The first contract will be TT
about 100000, according to "a
ports, and will furnish employment
to many men.
Surveyors who laid out the site
of the new road in 1927 said o.
the district traversed by it: 'Thls
high mountainous plateau is brea-
th-taking in its vast differences in
elevation, spectacular in its snow
fed lakes and grasshopper glaciers
and beautiful in it's myriads of Wild
flowers and alpine shrubbery."
At one point the highway viii
reach an elevation of more thar
1000 feet, and at another point
80 mountain lakes can be seen.
Contractors, after viewing the
road, will submit bids for the pro-
ject to the district engineer of the
Bureau of Public Roads at Port
land, Oregon. The bids will be
opened there June 26.
Contractors who are successful
bidders on the project will hle
their own labor, according to Mr..
Mitchell, and neither he nor Coun-
ty Surveyor Frank Bowman are
hiring men for work on the road.
Candidates for jobs on the high
way will necessarily be forced to
wait until after the awarding Of

.FROMBERG POOL HALL
PROPRIETOR SHOT IN
ATTEMPTED H0LDUP

Joe Pierce, proprietor of a
Fromberg pool hall, was wounded
IN the right arm early Friday
morning when two bandits attemp-
ted to hold him up.
After locking up his establish
ment, Pierce was on his way home
shortly after midnight when two
men, sitting in a coupe near the
Emmett & Son store called to
him, inquiring as to where they
could purchase some gasoline,
AS Pierce walked toward the
car, one of the men pointed a pis-
toll at him and ordered him to
throw up his hands. Pierce, how
ever, drew his own gun and fired,
but missed. The bandit returned
the shot, hitting Pierce in the
right arm.
The bullet, of .38 calibre, en-
tered his arm Immediately below
the elbow, ranging upward. The
slug was removed from the elbow
joint. The wound is reported as
not serious.
Pierce was able to furnish only
a very indefinite description of
the men, but told authorities that
the car was maroon colored
coupe bearing a Montana license.
The bandits drove off in the
direction of Billings, according to
Pierce's report.

Harry E. Mitchell, engineer for
the Red Lodge-Cooke City scenic
highway which will provide a new
entrance into Yellowstone Nation
al park, and his crew of assistants
arrived in Red Lodge this week to
begin the preliminary stalking out
of the new roadway.
With Mr.. Mitchell came David
Morris, Marvin Martin, Edward
McKinstry, Jesse Forester, Tom

The entire group of assistants
are we'll versed in road engineer
ing, and the majority hold degrees
as Civil Engineers.
The group began work early TINS
week at the IA mile post, just be-
yond He'll Roaring creek.
A party of contractors will view
the road beginning week from
today, for the purpose of estl
mating expenses of construct ;
The contractors will probably e
on the ground for about five days,
according to estimates furnished
by officials, as it is Impossible
for the party to travel over the
country other than on horseback
or on foot.
"There is considerable temporary
road work to be done by the CO
tractors before they get in, En-
gineer Mitchell stated. Crock

to be bridged and some timber
will have to be cleared away be-
fore machinery can be brought to
the project"
The highway was viewed by f
M. Hulce of Missoula, representing
the Bureau of Public Roads, Fri
day, April "a, in an effort to Sc
cure definite information as te
when the contractors would be en-
abled to get in to make estimates
At that time Mr.. Hulce stated tina

MAGAZINE
RELATES STORY OF
COOKE ROAD BATTLE

The Publishers Auxiliary, ma
tional newspaper trade periodical,
in its issue of June 6, tells the
story of the dilffic'llties encoun-
tered by O. Il. ?. Shelley, editor
of the Carbon County News, in his
fight for the Red Lodge-Cooke
ity highway measure, in the fol
lowing manner:
20. H. P. Shelley, publisher of
the Red Lodge (Mont.) Carbon
County News, was sfgnally honor
ed on his return to Red Lodge
from Washington, D. c., recent
ly. All Red Lodge and delegates
from surrounding cities in Mon
tana and Wyoming joined in a
huge celebration over the acqul-
sition of new highway to Yellow
stone National park by the way Of
Red Lodge and Cooke City.
"Mr. Shelley, whose efforts are
credited with securing the intro
duction and passage Of legislation
i'll congress authorizing the con-
struction Of the 60-mile highway,
was showered with honors and
praises during the entire jubilee.
A banquet in his honor is said 20
have been the largest ever held
in the county.
efforts put forth by Mr.. Shell
ley to secure the road dated back
to November, 1924, when he went
to Washington to secure the as
sistance off the forest department
to survey the route and determine
the feasibility Of the highway. At
ter weeks of continuous work, Mr.
Shelley was rewarded by the sur
vey being made in 1925. That
same year the upper house of con-
gress passed a bill authorizing
the construction Of the road, but
the measure was killed in the
house.
"Undaunted, the Montana editor
was on the ground again when the
next session opened and after a
hard struggle succeeded in having
the bill reintroduced but it met
defeat through a filibuster in the
senate. Although at times it
looked like a HOPELESS task to cit
liens of Red Lodge and people Of
Montana in general, Mr.. Shelley
never gave up and devoted much
Of his time, usually at his own
expense, during the following ses-
sions of congress, to carry on the
fight. Finally, at the last session
the measure, supported by Mon
tana's delegation, was passed by
both houses and signed by Presi-
dent Hoover January 81. This
bill will create an entirely new en-
trance to Yellowstone National
park. The road will cost over ST.
100000 and will be one of the most
scenic highways of the world.
"Mr. Shelley has engaged in
newspaper work in Montana since
1912. He has operated papers at
Helena, Havre, Glasgow and Red
Lodge. In 1924 he assumed own
ership of the Carbon County News

rundown publication, to one of the

There is reason to believe that
the sudden violent 0utburst of anti
Catholic hostility in Spain, Italy
and elsewhere will be overcome by
nonciliatory measures.
In Italy the Pope has forbidden
all Catholic professions and dem
constructions of any kind outside of
churches and forbidden the off
cial Vatican organ, Osservatore
Romano, to publish hostile COM
ment on the Fascist government.
Mussolini, on his part, has for
bidden the Italian press to continue
the publication Of news articles
and editorials calculated to foment
anti-Catholic hatred.

The army needed matches, and

Countries of Europe, especially

can avoid competition and dumping

the same time. eagerly accept
money that Russia spends in pur-

the others, has cut down Russian
purchases In this country, by more
than half within year. That may
be high morality. but 1t Is poor bust
