ROUNDUP GOLF CLUB
TO MEET RED LODGE
IN Inter CITY MATCH

Players of the Roundup golf
club will come to Red Lodge Sun
lay for an inter-city match with
the Red Lodge club, to be played
on the local course west of town.
Nearly hundred players, both
men and women, are expected to
shoot the course during the day.
Most of the matches will be
started in the morning, and the
contest will be finished after a
luncheon to be held near the
course. The men will play eigh-
teen holes each, and the lady con-
testants nine, the pairings being
made on a basis of comparative
handicap ratings.
Last week the Roundup club
scored a tie in a match with the
Billings golf club, with their low
man turning in a score of IA for
the eighteen holes. The Red
Lodge golfers are also in fair
trim, G. G. Rowan having bagged
par SO over the course last
week. Some good golf should be
in evidence Sunday.
The city course is in the best
of shape. The fairways have been
moved lately, and the greens oiled
and re-sanded. The new shelter
that has been erected near the
second green is also in use (this
shelter for the convenience of gol-
fers was made possible through
the generosity Of Mr.. L. M. Sla-
vens and James Leslie, who do
mated the carpentry work..
Several Red Lodge players may
attend the Montana state golf
tournament, to be held in Butte
July 1926. Mr.. Rowan intends
to compete there, and DR.. E. M.
Adams and C. E Larkin may be
able to join him on the trip to
Butte.
During the week Of the Rodeo
the Red Lodge golf course will
be open to all visitors.

LEGION BASEBALL
PLAYERS HOLDING
REGULAR PRACTICE

Although handicapped by the
lack of sufficient and proper
equipment, the American Legion
Junior Baseball Club is holding
regular practices. John Tarro.
manager of the junior club, met
with group of boys last Friday
and began the organization of a
team.
Seventeen boys have been sign
ed to form team and are working
out for positions on the nine. Be-
fore the end of next week posi-
lions will be assigned to members
of the squad and heavy workouts
in preparation for the season will
commence. Those who are now on
the squad are: John Zeipan, Mike
Dimich, Dan Dimich, James Les
lie, RENO Meimi, Mat Macdonald.
James Macdonald, John Abraham
son, Joe Rometti, Laddie Helm,
Richard Malin, Kenneth McDan-
ials, Teno Leidis, Dom Berta,
Frank Nance, and Joe Tarro.
All boys under the age eff seven
teen may try for a place on the
nine that will represent Red Lodge
against other town teams in this
region. The local Legion is spon-
soring the team in the national
contest conducted by the National
American Legion. Each year
teams are formed in nearly all
American towns that support Lee
gion posts, and by means of SER
les of local, regional, and state
contests the best teams in the
country are selected to play for
the nation championship, usually
held in one of the larger eastern
cities.
The local legion club has good
chance to win games in this dis
trict if the team can get in suffi-
cient practice before the first
game is played in July. Our
greatest trouble says Manager
Tarro, lis the shortage of balls.
gloves, bats, and masks, and it Is.
sometimes hard to find place
where the boys can practice with
out interfering with the regular
town team.

RENLUNDS, PIONEER
COUPLE, CELEBRATE
A GOLDEN WEDDING

Friends and relatiyes of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Renlunf, we'll known
residents of Carbon county, helped
to celebrate the golden wedding
anniversary of tbs pioneer couple,
Wednesday, June "a, at the Rem
lupd ranch, thlee miles northwest
of Red Lodge A family reunion
was held, and many were present
to wish the BRIDE and groom of fiji
)ty years ago continued happiness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Renlund were mar
ried June "a, 1881, at Gamla Kar-
leby, in Finland. That wedding
took place at The home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ma
thias Bjorquist, one of the sub
stantial families of western Fin
land. The groom was the son of
John Renlund, prosperous farm
er of the neighborhood. The Rev
erend K. A. Finelius officiated at
the nuptials, Johanna Finnelia was
the bridesmaid, and one Andrew
Borj acted as the best man.
After marriage the couple set
tied at the groom's home near
Gamla Karleby, and for ten years
Mr., Renlund was engaged in farm
ing there. They then emigrated
to America, and in the autumn of
1891 located near Red Lodge. "Mc-
Ginty John" as Mr.. Renlund was
known in those days, operated the
Baumgartner dairy farm until
1899, when he and his wife moved
to the newly founded town Of
Bridger. After running a dairy
farm there for four years they
again returned to Red Lodge and
have lived near here ever since.
They have been living for the past
few years on the old Nordstrom
ranch, northwest of town.
By former marriage Mr.. Rem
lund was the father of three chill
dren who accompanied him and
his present wife to America, and
who became respected citizens of
the community. Sanfrid Renlund,
prominent stock man of Luther,
is the only one of that family now
living; the other two, Mrs. Charles
Annala and Mrs. Matt Peolo be-
ing deceased.
At Wednesdays celebration Mr..
Renlund's son Sanfrid, as well as
grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren and, his only living brother,
Alex Renlund were present. Chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Renlund who
were in attendance upon their par
ents at the gathering were: Mrs.
Phil Thompson, Porthill, Idaho;
Arthur Renlund, Hugo Renlund,

BRONCS FOR RODEO ARRIVE;
WILD STEERS TO BE SHIPPED
BEFORE OPENING DAY OF SHOW

but mighty fast and ornery"
Judges of the events for this
year, as announced by B. w. Holt,
secretary of the Red Lodge Rodeo
association, will be Walter e.
Lamport, of Bearcreek; Louis Tun-
nicliff, Roberts; and Chris Brang-
er, Roscoe. These men will Judge
the bronc-riding, roping, and bull
dogging contests. There will al
so be several time judges, whose
names have not yet been announc-
ed. Milo Schanck is to be the
arena master for the three days
events.
The judges will operate on the
individual method of scoring used
in most of the large rodeos of the
country. By this method, each
Judge rates the riders on individual
score cards, and the comparison
OF cards scored by the different
judges gives an accurate, unpred-
JUDGED score for the rider.
The rodeo grounds on the hill
west of town are now in final
shape; the bucking chutes have
been newly repaired, and the track
has been conditioned. Ticket
booths have been arranged to ham
die a crowd that is expected to ex-
coed the group of $4,000 people VINO
witnessed the show last year. Free
automobile parking space is to
he provided for spectators.
The Rodeo will be opened this
year by parade in Red Lodge,
and parade will be held on each
Of the three days. In addition, the
opening of the show on July A is
to be featured by special "sur-
prise" program arranged by the
Association. No advance descrip-
tions of this feature are forth
coming until the opening day, but
'it will be something unusual and
unique" according to rodeo Off
Gals. When the melee gets under
way, it is also expected that one
or two airplanes from the Manner
Transport company, Spokane, will
be in operation from landing

GRADERS ARE TOUCHING
UP COUNTY HIGHWAY

Two graders operated by the
county road crew are at work on
the highway between Luther and
Red Lodge this week. 1t is prob
able that the county road budget,
soon to be issued, will include
funds for the graveling of this
road. Part of this work may be
done before autumn, and the job
completed next summer.
The new Jack creek road is re-
ported to be in good condition
from Red Lodge to Warren, al
though graders are at work be-
tween Warren and the Wyoming
state line, necessitating a detour.

LOWELL TEAM WINS OVER
RED LODGE BAT SWINGERS

The Lowell baseball team de-
feated the Red Lodge nine by a
scroe Of IL to 5, in a game played
Sunday on Wye diamond. Loose

of the runs that came in to win
for the Lowell boys.

journey to Greybull to engage the
town team there. The Red Lodge
and Greybull teams are also sched-
uled to play a series on Wye field

Exploring parties of various
kinds and purposes, from hunting
expeditions to "dude" sight-see-
ing groups, have been ranging the
Beartooth mountains since the
surrounding country became known
to white men, but for the first
time in the history Of this area. a
group of men are going into the
Beartooths this summer for the
purpose of weighing the noun
tains. These men are members OF
the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey, who will operate in connec-
ton with the Princeton survey
party. Under the direction of Ma
jor William Bowie, the party will
make "gravitation' studies, de-
termining the density, or weight,
of the different kinds Of rock that
form the Beartooth range.
With the aid of photographs
taken from Army airplanes, &C
curate maps of the region are be-
ing made by the U. S. Geological
Survey, and the height of the
mountains measured; by combin-
ing and calculating these figures,
the "heft" of the entire range may
be calculated.
The result of this operation may
be the proving or disproving of a
basic theory concerning the for
nation Of mountains on the sur
face of the earth. The theory of
isostasy which explains the reason
why mountain peaks and ranges
continue to rise higher than the
plains regions, and remain higher
for centuries of time. According
to that theory, most mountains are
composed of lighter rocks than
the rock beneath the top soil of
the plains, and consequently
"float" higher on mobile molten
rock beneath the earth's crust
much as piece of wood will float
higher on water than chunk OF
ice, as wood is a lighter substance
than ice. Whether or not this idea
accounts for the supremacy of
mountains over plains should be
definitely checked by this survey

FRANNIE WELL AT LOO;
SOUDERS HAS GOOD SHOW

The new well in the Frannie,
Wyoming, oil field, which was
spudded in May 20 by the Midwest
company, has been sunk to a depth
of 100 feet. 1t is expected to
produce at a depth of $500 feet.
In the Dry Creek field, the Mar
garet Souders mine is making a
good show of gas and oil, while
workers at the Montana Industrial
no. l this week were still trying
to dislodge piece of equipment
that is stuck in the bore. The
Carbon Oil company has changed
from the old-style cable drill, and
is now using rotary drills.
The price of crude oil was up a
point or two this week, and some
increased activity was noted as a
result.

PIPE LINE AND CITY.
MAINS MAY Be LAID
/ BY END OF SUMMER

By a margin of twenty-five
votes, the tax paying free-holders
of Red Lodge indorsed the Mon
tana Power company's enlfran-
chisement for a gas line and dis
tribution system to be installed in
the city. In special election held
last Tuesday, June %, Red Lodge
decided to fall into step with other
Montana cities in the process Of
modernization.
In the first ward, III votes were
cast in favor of the gas franchise,
and 48 against it; in the second
ward, SO ballots were marked in
favor of the project and AZ against
it. The third ward voted against
the plan, 1O3 to 40.
The formal granting of the fran
chise will probably take place at
the next meeting Of the Red Lodge
city council, and the Montana Pow
er company is to begin construc-
tion Of its main line to the city
soon afterward. The laying Of
the pipe line to Red Lodge, and
the installation of the city ga;
mains will undoubtedly be COM
pleted before the end of the sum-
mer. Gas will be turned into the
main conduit extending from the
Dry Creek oil field to Three Forks
Montana, in September.
The towns that will be supplied
from this line are Three Forks,

Trailing up from his ranch at
Shawmut, Leo Cremer and foul
Of his boys pulled into Red Lodge
Tuesday with string of N broncs
and saddle horses to be used in
the Red Lodge rodeo, July A, 5,
and 6. The horses were run into
the corral near the rodeo grounds
west of town, and are now waiting
for the time when some of the best
riders in the Northwest will try
their luck and skill with them.
Besides the regular bunch of
horses, Cremer will bring to Red
Lodge, on the last day of the show
his famous string of ten "finaP'
horses-horses that are just lit
tie bit tougher than the rest, and
are used only in the final bucking
events.
Thirty head of steers are now
awaiting shipment near Nogales,
Arizona, according to Cremer. 1t
is expected that these will arrive
for shipment from Big Timber by
June %, and will be in the corrals
here before the opening day. Fiji
teen of these are Mexican range
steers that will be usedin the bull
DIGGING and roping events, and are
reported to be the fastest and
widest animals that can be found
west of the Mississippi river. The
rest are Brahma steers from Tex
as and Mexico, variety of cattle
that has been developed especially
for rodeo purposes in this coun-
try.
"These Brahmas | have this
year, says Cremer," are some of
the meanest and toughest ones
that | have ever shipped. They
are old steers--and the older they
get, the meaner they are. The
Brahma breed was originally start
ed by crossing the old-time Texas
long-horn steers with the variety
of COW that is native and sacred in
India. 1t is a hump-backed, slen-
der-legged, sharp-horned "critter",
and one of the widest animals that
wears hoofs.
"Those bull-dogging steers will
give the boys some trouble, too,"
Cremer remarked, "they are small,
