BOBCATS OVER
COME LOCAL CLUB
TUESDAY NIGHT
FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASON FOR
LOCALS; LEAD BOBCATS END
OF FIRST QUARTER
BOBCATS ADROlT PLAYS AND
FAST PASSING SHOWS THEIR
SUPERIORITY

Going down to defeat for the
first time during the season, the
Finnish-American Athletic Club
was trimmed by the Montana State
College Bobcats by score of SO to
80 last Tuesday evening at the
high school gymnasium. A record
crowd of over 400 people attend
ed the the game.
The Bobcats gave an exhibition
which, while not especially spec
tacular, was filled with examples
of deadly accuracy in shots, fast
passing and adroit plays. The
Athletic club led by Hannula, cen
ter, and Toffer, forward, proved
that they are one of the fastest
basketball quintets, either high
school or independent, in Mon
tana. Close7in shots were few,
both teams tallying by the long
shot route. Ray Buzzetti, forward,
was high point man with 10 points.
Hannula demonstrated great sur
ETY. in his shots from center court
during the first half, and the Ath-
letic Clubs two guards, Mattila
and Tuuri, gave the Bobcat quin-
tet plenty of trouble. The Finn
ish-American Club led at the close
of the first quarter rs, but was
behind 23-15 at the half. During
the second half, the Bobcats walked
away from the local club to win

I don't know whether my old

but he deserves it If they don't win
another game. For, they are the

right from the jump. These others

OHIO LEASES 10000
ACRE TRACT FROM
DIR. S|EGF R|EDT
OIL FUTURE OF CARBON COUNTY
LOOKS TO BE BEST IN ROCKY
MOUNTAIN REGION

One of the largest oil deals in
the Northwest was consummated
December 16 in Red Lodge by and
between the Ohio Oil Company of
Findlay, Ohio, and DR.. J. C. F.
Siegfriedt of this city. The Ohio
Oil Company has taken over the
oil leases of DR.. Siegfriedt located
on the Fox and Red Lodge struc-
lures, together with individual
leases comprising an area of APP
proximately 10000 acres.
The area leased and recorded is
located in Township 6, South in
Range 10, 20 and 81, Carbon coun-
ty, Montana. This vast oil struc-
ture covers the farm lands ada
cent to the Dry Creek Oil field
two miles east of Fox extending
west and taking in Willow creek
and Red Lodge Creek. The leases
cover region approximately s
miles long and better than three
miles wide, which has been mapped
and planetabled by G. j. Hares,
chief geologist Of the Ohio Oil Co.
This structure is another of the
sharp dip mountain structures that
have demonstrated to be the best
oil producers in the Northwest.
Carbon county is fortunate in
having this structure tested for
oil and gas by one of the major
companies. The quality of the oil
discovered by the Ohio Oil COM
pany in the Dry Creek Oil field
was no doubt one of the main fac
tors which induced the Ohio COM
pany to test this new region in
Carbon county.
The estimated depth of the wells

zon corresponding to the Dry Creel.
field will be between five and six
thousand feet. The Try Greek

ducing better than two thousand
barrels per day and testing 81
Baume.
Six or eight oil producing sands
underlie the Cloverly measures
from which the present produ,
ton is coming, thus affording OPP
Grating companies ample oppor-
tunities for bringing in oil.
DR.. Siegfriedt, the local paleon-
tologist, in commenting upon the
oil possibilities says, Carbon coun-
ty will no doubt be the largest oil
producing county in the Rocky
Mountain region" The reason
given by the Doctor for this fore
cast, is that the Continental, Tho
Texas, Midwest and the Spomont
Oil Co. have also taken leases iii
Carbon county and are making
preparations for early develop
ment in the spring of 1881.
Crock hounds" from the Mid
continental district and California
have been investigating the fur

newspaper to comment upon it, mas
much as the governors. proclamation
would have no effect on Us and the pa

schedule.
But the fact remains that all of us are
entitled to our opinions and we don't
mind saying that we cannot look with
favor upon the governors suggestion.
We think the motive back of it is fine
1t would be a great thing to let business
go hang for six days and all of US turn
to and enjoy ourselves
Keeping the old nose to the grindstone
is certainly monotonous, but it must be
done. Thousands of men and women are
finding out right now that even more
monotonous than keeping the nose to the
grindstone is to have no grindstone to
keep the nose to.

idea is found among owners of hotels,
resorts and amusement places. Idle peo-

other hand, the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker, who would cer-
tainly suffer by the holiday, are opposed
to it. And the bankers??? The bankers
do be saying terrible things about the
plan.
The governors latest comment is that
he doesn't know whether or not he will
issue holiday proclamation. He made
the suggestion as "feeler" and will
judge by the kick-back whether or not
he will sign.
We don't like the idea because it is
encouraging people to play when they
should be working. We played for 10
long years after the World War and that
is what is the matter with US now. This

SPEED DOES NOT
MEAN RECKLESS
CAPTAIN WARNS

Warning chat increasing the
speed limit on highways from 40 to
40 miles per hour does not mean
license to travel at excessive speed,
was given today to Imperial Valley
motorists by Captain A. F. Oswalt
of the California Highway Patrol.
The state has raised the speed
limit to As miles per hour on open
highways starting August Ia" the
captain said, and on that date such
speed will be legal. However, the
rules which have governed speed in
congeSted places and within the
limits of cities still hold good.
Motorists will remember that
As miles does not mean 30 and that
anything above the legal limits in
restricted zones will result in the
arrest of offenders"
Declaring that most accidents are
the result of excessive speed. the
captain cited the tragedy at Holt
vile Sunday night as an example
of what can happen when motor
ist insists in stepping on it" just
to prove that his car happens to be
speedier than the other fellows.
Captain Oswalt asked automobile
owners in the valley to cooperate
with the traffic officers by using
care at ali times and refraining
from reckless driving or infractionS

Auto Accident

R. n. Rainey. whose address is
given as 291 Main street, Ell Centro,
is in the Ell Centre hospital, suffer-
ing from a broken leg received in
an automobile wreck near Seeley
late yesterday afternoon.
According to the report on file in
the sheriff's office, T. Okawa, a
rancher on the Seeley- -CaleXico road.
was backing out on the highway
from a field. when he saw the car
in which Rainey was riding coming
toward him.
As Okawa was on the wrong side
of the road, he stopped his truck
and waited for the oncoming car
to pass him. He tolu officers that
no effort was made to turn out in
passing him and the car, travelling
at high rate of speed, crashed into
the rear of his truck. The car ira
veled nearly $50 yards before it was
brought to a stop, officers said.
Rainey stated his vision was OBJ
structed by a ditch bank, but Sher-
if Campbell and Deputy Sheriff
Evans. who conducted an investi-
CATION. asserted the road is straight
and clear for long distance on
both sides of the scene of the acci-
dent.

that Yuma annex itself to California.
The Sentinel informs us it was its

Moreover the Sentinel is perfectly will
ing that Yuma shall remain part of Ar
izona. We're glad of that. and we know
that many young Californians (and some
not so young) who see in Yuma the haven
of loves young dream, would feel ter
ribly hurt if Yuma turned Californian.
AS for the charge that we got our

that is libelous. We drink straight Col

SPORT SLANTS

The Athletics have outscored the
Cardinals in advance of the worlds
series, in the matter of accommodating
cripples. Whether it handicaps them
is something else.
Every regular of the worlds champ
ions, with the notable exceptions of
Lefty Grove and Rube Walberg, has
been incapacitated at one time or an
other in the latter part of the season.
The only serious casualty in the
Cardinal camp is the veteran right
hander, Jesse Joseph Haines, one of
the best "one-game" pitchers in the
business.
The injury to Jim Collins, young
first baseman. can be overlooked in
view of the fine comeback of Sunny
Jim Bottomley at his old post.
With the possible exception of Joe
Boley at Shortstop. the AS will put
their championship lineup on the
field for the first game at st. Louis
Dib Williams has played so we'll in the
short field that he may get the call
even If Boley is in shape again.
Connie Mack's reserves have ex-
ceeded his expectations. In fact it is
due to their ability and alacrity tina
the AS steamrolled all opposition at a
time when they were beset by all
ments and mishaps to the regular
troops.
The clubs performance. under diff
culties, is one Of the most remarkable
in major league history and anothe,
potent reason why it will be favored
to register three worlds champion
ships in q row.
