I brought one home with me as a souvenir of
the hunting proweSs of Adjao and his COM
radeS. Although this big fellow, an
8-footer, when the skin cleaned and dried
it was so silky and fine that it barely scaled
a couple of ounces
Incidentally, that skin bears plain evidence
of the DusunS' method of killing their python
without employing the parang's cutting edge.
There is not blemish on it, except near the
head where the heaviest and fiercest bludgeon-
ing was done-but it is uncut anywhere
Every night my bearers and boatmen had a
banquet of python flesh. In Northern Luzon
had seen the pygmy Negritos eat python, and
I observed the dish is similar to theirs.
First, the skins were carefully removed and
hung up on the trees to dry-Sometimes there
would be half dozen festooning the branches
of a willow, their golden bronze scales glnting
warmly in the flicker and glow of our camp
fire. Then the flesh was chopped into por-
tions-much chops banana through
and slowly boiled in a hollow bamboo filed
with water.
AS I have already remarked never tasted
the stuff, but it has a peculiar fishy odor,
hence my order in the camp, no python cooking

win it, but East did instead and after cashing
his king of spades returned another heart.
Thus the adversaries tailed two spades. five
hearts and a club, a total of eight tricks, de-
feating the contract by four.
At one table Mrs WeIton C. Percy was the
declarer. One of the NEST expert of the
players at the Cavendish Club and sister of
Madeleine Kerwin, she generally can be trusted
to find the way, which she did She saw that
three club leads could be obtained while still
leaving the spade a sure re-entry in
dummy, if she overlook her queen of clubs with
the ace or king. Thus she would be sure to get
five club tricks. one spade trick, two diamonds
and the heart already won-total nine or game.
BY doing this she sacrificed the chance to
make an extra trick with her club queen but
chance in which the odds would have been
against her.

At length I gave the order to return to the
Dusun kampong whence we had started.
Well fed with their favorite dish OF python
flesh. my fellows were happy enough. Also
they had plenty of python skins, for which
there is a fair demand. Personally, never ate
python-it seemed rather beastly to me-and
so I know nothing about the flavor which SO
tickleS the Dusun palate. The smell OF 1t
cooking enough for me.
1 heard many python stories in cur camp at
night, and one of the older Dusuns told me
that there are snakes of much greater length
and girth than any we had seen on this trip.
But doubt if snakes in that district are so
big as the huge Demonstrators of the Min
danao and Luzon jungleS of the Philippine
Islands.
THE Dusuns stories of very big snakes tended
to corroborate what I had been told years
ago by an Australian prospector on one of the
rivers of Southern British Borneo He de-
clared that he had been compelled to cease
work and abandon a good location because
the place was infested with enormous pythons.

What occurs if dummy Uarns dccIarer that

Dummy has no right to do this. Declarer
is presumed to know which hand has the
lead and if he does not should pay a penalty
for his nattention. If dummy calls his atten-
ton to the fact that he is about to lead from
the wrong hand or tells him which hand has
the lead, either adversary may name the hand
from which the lead shall be made.

The answer involves the old point OF leading
through strength up to weakness in dummy.
inexperienced players would be inclined to
lead back diamond because that suit is a
bit stronger in Easts hand The expert how
ever, would reason differently. Since his hand
and dummy possess none of the heart honors,
strength in that suit is entirely in the hands of
South and West. If it were punched in either
of those hands, the suit probably would have
been bid Therefore it is no doubt about
evenly divided so that a lead of it through
declarer is almost certain to establish winner
for West in the suit. East is almost certain to
get in again with his king of clubs for
second heart lead. so that West use his
re-entry and run the three spade honors. This
would make four spade tricks one heart trick
and one club trick for the defense, preventing
game with trick to spare, and if the de-
tenders manage to pick up another trick any
where declarer is defeated
The principle here emphasized is that in
leading up to weakness in dummy, third hand
should generally select the suit in which he
himself is weakest knowing that all of his
sides strength in the suit gets last whack"

North is the dealer; his trump bid Is
uncontested and East leads the king OF hearts.
Declarer counts eight sure tricks, one in hearts,
two in spades two in diamonds and three in
clubs but knows he probably can get one or
more extras in spades diamonds or CLUBS II
discards can be forced from the adversary VINO
holds four cards of those suits. He cannot
apply the squeeze himself, but East no doubt
will squeeze West for him if permitted
So he lets East win the first heart with the
king also the second with the queen When
West discards q spade or diamond, North feels
sure the plan is working. An expert in the
East would not continue hearts again but would
switch to some other suit. In that event, how
ever North would win and return little heart.
East replying with some other suit, declarer
would win again and cash the ace of hearts,
which would squeeze VESTS strong defensive
hand to ruin.
West cannot possibly make the three discards
forced upon him without fixing things so that
North gets all the rest of the tricks making
four-odd tricks, or one more than game

H|WAY COMMISSION
TO COOPERATE ON
COOKE ROAD unit
TWO PLANS SUGGESTED FOR IM-
PRovEMENT FROM RED LODGE
TO FOREST BOUNDARY

Two alternative plans were sub
mltted to the Montana state high
way commission in Helena lass
Thursday for improving and MAIN
tanning the road from the out
skirts of Red Lodge on the south
to the Beartooth forest boundary,
SO miles, to connect up with tne
Red Lodge-Cooke City road pro-
ject. The Smile stretch is not in
cluded in the park approach sys-
TEN. The commission wired Con-
gresham Scott Leavitt that it
should be included in the forest
highway system, or, if that is nos
possible, it may be added to the
state-federal Z percent system. The
decision as to which plan is ad.
vlsiable, the commission suggest
ed, may be left to the secretaries
of the interior and agriculture.
The state highway commission
has gone on record expressing it's
desire to cooperate in early con-
struction of the initial project of
the Red Lodge-Cooke road, which
will open an eastern entrance to
Yellowstone Park. Expenditure of
S1,oO0,OO0 is planned for the COM
ing summer. The 60-mile Red
Lodge-Cooke approach is estimated
at a cost off abaut $1,940,000.
Congressman Leavitt's bill, un-
der which the Red-Lodge- Cooke
City approach to Yellowstone will
be constructed, provides $500, 600
a year for two years for roads
within the national parks and ap-
preaching them, off which amount,
S1,500,000 will be spent annually
on approach roads which are not
provided for under other law.

OHIO PIPE line
MAY EXTEND TO
BUTTE, ANACONDA


Reports from reliable sources
reached the Carbon County News
this week, indicating that the Ohio
company and the Montana Power
company had reached an agree
ment on the natural gas question
and gas is expected to be piped
from the Dry Greek field to Butte
and Anaconda, instead of merely
to Bozeman, as was formerly the
plan. There is also a possibility,
according to reports, that the lire
may be extended to Deer Lodge
and Missoula.
The new line would serve Fox,
Absarokee, Reed Point, Columbus,
Livingston, Bozeman, East Helena
Smelter, Helena, Anaconda, the
Anaconda Smelter, and Butte.
The cost of the new project is
estimated at $2,500,00O to Boze-
man and the cost will probably be
more than doubled if the line is ex-
tended to Butte and Anaconda.
Work has already been started
between Fox and Roberts in clear
ing the ground in order that the
ditchers can begin operations.
Authorities expect that the job
will be completed by fall. This
project will necessitate the drill
ing of several more wells in the
Dry Greek area, this summer, in
order to supply the pipe line and
to insure an adequate reserve sup
ply. The Montana-I Industrial No.
2 is now drilling at about 400
feet with rotary equipment, and
the Beartooth No. 1 was spudded
in last Friday with cable tools.
The Beartooth we'll will change to
rotary equipment as soon as the
equipment can be installed. The
Beartootb we'll has reached depth
of about 200 feet to date.
The Ohio we'll No. 2 which is eX-
pected to furnish the principal
stream for the new pipe line, is on
ly six miles from Red Lodge by
airline. 1t was spudded in April
"a, 1929, and completed September
Is, 1880.
Equipment for the new project
is now being unloaded at Roberts,
which is said to be the headquar-
ters of the work for the ensuing
sixty days. A ditcher and a car
load Of tools has already been un-
loaded, with another carload ex-
pected today. About rs carloads
of pipe are also expected, accord
ing to Northern Pacific officials
at Roberts, and the ditching crew
should start work within the next
ten days.
Rotary equipment has also been
received for the Souders No. l well.

DRY CREEK GUSHER
FLOW IS INCREASED
TO 1900 BARRELS

Indicating the potential posi-
bilities of the Ohio Oil company's
No. 2 Northern Pacific discovery
well in the sharp-dip Dry Creek
field in Carbon county, last week
the well increased its flow from
GOO to 1,200 barrels of 52-gravity
oil daily, when drilled six feet
deeper into the sand and cleaned
of an accumulation of paraffin.
The increased flow was made
against heavy backpressure, with
no change in the valve opening
through which the we'll has been
flowing 600 barrels per day since
it came in last year. In the opin-
ion of operators, this well, if drill
ed slightly deeper into the 300
foot sand body and opened up,
would flow at the rate of 10000
barrels per day.
The No. 2 came into production
last September, flowing 1000 bar
rels of high gravity oil in day.
