MOVEMENT OF STOCK
FROM COUNTY begins,
SHIP LESS THIS YEAR

Stock shipments from the coun-
ty, which began last week with
the loading of six cars of cattle,
sheep, and horses, will be contin-
ued next week when two carloads
of sheep, for which cars have been
ordered, will be sent out of the
Red Lodge yards. The heavy ship
ping of the season is not expected
to start before the middle of Oc-
tober, however, as the ranges in
the county remain in comparative
ly good condition, and the price
of beef has not yet displayed any
startling rises.
Shipments from the county are
expected to be lighter this fall
than they were last year, although
shipme ments from the state il gen
eral, it is prophesied, will be
greater. A report by the Depart
rnent of Agriculture remarks that
ranges in most cattle regions have
been practically ruined by the
drought this summer, and forage
for cattle this winter will be poor.
Hay crops in many sections also
failed, with the. result that cattle
men will be unable to winter their
stock, being forced to market re-
gardless OF the price quotations.
Carbon county has been mere
fortunate than most, as the graz
ing lands, while not in thu best
Of condition, are good enough to
warrant thc holding of cat. this
fall. Hay and other fodder is
available for feeding this winter
Almost hundred cars, on the
average, are shipped from the
county each fall, but the number
this year may not be more than
half of that number. Cattle rails
ers in this region made heavy
shipments last fall, in anticipation
of the rapidly falling prices of
beef. Many were forced to ship
because of the shortage of fodder
and range grass, while more cat
tie will be wintered over this year.
Produce shipments have been
light this fall. Little or no wheat
is going out, and most other grains
are being held for use or storage
on the farms. Ten carloads Of
seed peas comprised about the
largest shipment of any single
product.

BID ON WATER MAIN
EXTENSION GRANTED
BY The CITY COUNCIL

Special session of the Red Lodge
city council was held Tuesday ev-
ening for the consideration of bids
submitted on the projected extern
tion of the city water system on
the south side.
Voting unanimously on motion
forwarded by Alderman Foltz and
seconded by Alderman Cunning
ham, the council agreed to accept
a bid placed by Victor Aho, of the
Carbon Plumbing and Heating
company, for the installation of d
two-inch main, to extend from the
main at Broadway and Eighteenth,
south to Nineteenth, west to Haus-
er, and one block south on Hauser.
The financial cooperation of prop
erty holders along that line, who
have agreed to help the city with
the installation cost, was made a
provision to the acceptance Of the
bid. The nine land owners on
Broadway, Nineteenth, and Haus-
er, who this summer petitioned the
council for the extension along
their property fronts, promised a
fund of $500 toward the work.
Eight taps will be cut into the
new main, and at the corner of
Hauser and Nineteenth a connac-
tion will be installed that will
permit of the joining of the ex-
tension with the water mains on
Adams avenue, when the future
development of property along
Nineteenth street demands water
service.
Before adjournment, the coun-
cilmen also discussed briefly the
possibility of ordinances to be
passed for the regulation of tha
city tourist park, and for a better
system of parking on the city
streets.

JACK CREEK WILDCAT
REACHES 1880 after
DELAYS IN DRILLING
Expect to Make Frontier at
1850, and Production
in Two Weeks

After three days of delay in the
operations at the Murphy wildcat
we'll on Jack creek, work has been
started again and the drill is
moving at 1880 feet, while locations
on all sides of the we'll are being
made.
A breakdown of the rig and the
dropping of machinery into the
bore caused the cessation of drill
ing for several days, according to
7. O. Olson, who is drilling the
Jack creek we'll for the Murphy
brothers, lease holders. Drillers
expect to hit the Frontier sand at
1450 feet, and hope for a produc-
tion strike within the next ten
days Or two weeks. The we'll was
spudded in last July 13.
In order to complete the drill
ing of the we'll, refinancing of
the project has become necessary,
and it is said that funds have been
recruited in Red Lodge that will
carry the well through.
On the Dry Greek structure, the
work of preparing the two latest
locations for the drillers has been
moving slowly, with some mater
ial fer the rigs having been moved
into place there. The location for
the Ohio-Kohal well has been
abandoned, at least temporarily.
The contract of the Ohio com-
pany with the Montana Industrial
company in regard to leases in
sections l, 2, 10, IL, IL, township
seven, 21 east is claimed to be no
longer binding at this time, as
according to the terms, all forties
not under development by the
Ohio company by last August IA
were free to be taken away from
the company. Rumors are cur
rent that another large company
is negotiating for locations on
several of the forties not yet de-
veloped.

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE
OF GUN CAUSES SEV RE
INJURY OF DR.. TOOLEY

DR.. L. H. Tooley of Red Lodge
has been in dangerous physical
condition at the Adams hospital
this week, as the result of an in
jury to his foot, suffered Monday
night by the accidental discharge
of gun-an injury so serious that
surgeons were forced to make an
amputation.
The accident happend early last
Monday evening, near DIR. Tooley's
summer home on the West fork
near Red Lodge. 1t had been the
doctcr's custom to hunt small game
in the hills near there for pastime,
and on this evening he had taken
a double -barreled shotgun and
wandered alone up the West fork
in the direction of the Rock Creek
ranger station. According to his
own report of the accident, it is
not known just how it was caused,
except that he had stepped on a
loose rock. turned his ankle, and
fell, in some way discharging one
barrel of the shotgun. The full
charge of shot struck him in the
left instep.
Members of the doctors house
hold heard the shot, as did L. H.
Mclean, ranger at the station
near there, but nothing was
thought of it as everyone supposed
that the doctor had simply taken
SHOT at something. However,
his cries brought the help of his
son, Larry, and brother-in-law,
Don Owens, as he was fortunately
within shouting distance of his
house. Ranger Mclean, upon be-
ing notified of the accident, drove
to Red Lodge in search of physi-
clan, while Dr.. Tboley's family
brought the injured man in to the
hospital.
DR.. Siegfriedt was in immediate
attendance on him, and DR.. AL
lard. orthopedie acialist of Bill
ings, was summoned. After a
conference of surgeons, it was de-
cided that the MANNED foot could
not be saved, due to the severity
of the laceration and the atten-
dant danger of infection. An op-
Grafton Of amputation was made
Monday night.
DR.. Tooley suffered greatly from
the shock Of the injury, and was
weakened considerably from loss
of blood, but he is responding well
to treatment this week, accord
ing to physicians. Yesterday he
was running only slight fever.
Throughout the whole terrible
affair he has exhibited much
strength and bravery, and remains
as cheerful as his condition per-
mits. "It was not so bad at that" :"
he said, "as it might have been
one of my hands,"
M. L. Parrott was a Joliet call
er in Red Lodge.

How much to Move Dead Cow!

Reading, Cal, (UP)-What is it
worth to move a dead COW out OF
a river? Five dollars, said Shasta
county. Twenty-Five dollars, said

dispute arose when Coroner Souza
said his duty did not extend to re-
moving dead cows, and DR.. Saylor,
county health officer, employed
Mueller and Markham to do the
job, without fixing the rate of pay.

HIGHWAY WORK MOVES FORWARD
WITHOUT The AID OF LOCAL LABOR
MACHINES ARE AT WORK ON
TWO LEVELS OF THE
CONSTRUCTION

Working with a force from which
practically all Red Lodge and
county men have been mustered
out, the Morrison-Knudsen con-
tracing company now has two
power shovels in operation on Unit
A of the Red Lodge-Cooke high
way, while bulldozer and grader
outfits are following up the pio-
neer work of the big machines.
About the last of the local men
who have been employed at the
road camp during the past month
drew their time this week and
came in, following orders by the
superintendent of construction,
and according to report, there are
but few Red Lodge men now
working on the job at Quad creek.
The total crew at work there now
numbers about "a. The greatest
number of local workers to be en-
ployed on the Unit A job was 81,
when employment reached its
peak during the clearing stage OF
the project. No more county men
were employed in spite of efforts
made by o. H. P. Shelley and the
Beartooth Boosters club to secure
jobs for the idle men of this COM
munity. Workers from Idaho
Utah, and from the road camps in
the Yellowstone, following the NJ
K machinery to this job, have oc-
cupied the payroll for the most
part.
The Unit A contract is now be-
ing carried out under direction of
new superintendent. J. H. John
son, lately boss of the Dunraven
Pass work in the Yellowstone, has
replaced E. B. Alsop as superin-
tendent of construction here.
The power shovel lately assem-
bled at the road camp has been
put into action on the first level
of the highway, below the point
where the first pay dirt was dug.
while the other machine has goug-
ed its way across the mountain as
far as the High-line trail, and has
doubled back on its first switch,
back-reaching the third level OF
construction. This shovel will dig
out another loop above the one
on which it is now working, after
which both shovels will work to-
gether on the final drive over the
top. Unless early heavy SHOWS
and cold weather halt the con-
struction, it is possible that the
road will reach the plateau-at
the approximate point where Wyo-
ming creek starts down-before
the last of October.
On Unit B, McNutt and Pyle
have not been moving as fast as
they expected, although the roat
thare has been pushed steadily
during the last month. The grade
has now been built past Muddy
creek in the direction of Beartootk
lake, but it is not likely that the
lake will be reached before snow
flies.
