SURVEY OF PROSPECTIVE
GAS USERS is BEING
CONDUCTED BY nj. P. co.

To ascertain the extent of the
natural gas mains that are to be
installed in the city, a survey of

day, householders will be called
upon by canvassers who will in
quire, at the various homes, wheth-
er gas service is desired.
F. C. Rudisill, of Butte, will be
the sales supervisor for the COM

BALL PLAYERS TO PERFORM
HERE BY ELECTRIC LIGHT

Twilight leagues" are not UNI
known in the sandlot baseball
world, but starlight baseball is
something of an innovation. Red
Lodge fans will see their first
game of this variety on July IL,
when the home team plays a night
game with the California Owls.
Artificial light, furnished by a
special portable lighting appara-
tus, will be used to illuminate the
diamond. The game is to be play
ed at 9 p. M, on the rodeo grounds.
Powerful floodlights will make the
field light enough for ordinary
play, although lost balls are likely
to stay lost until the next morn
ing, according to j. G. MacDon-
aid, manager of The Owls.
The Owls club has been playing
night ball throughout the country,
from California to Boston, and are
now filling engagements at Boze-
man, Livingston, and other Mon
tana towns. They feature as one
of their star players Miss Mae
Novak, woman who, it is said,
plays first base with all the skill
and snap of the regular male
players.

| dec grounds" on the hill west of
town. Milo Schanck, arena direc-
tor, will open the rodeo, and the
first horse will be out of the
chutes at about p. m.
Events off the rodeo, in the order
in which they are likely to appear
are Bronc Riding with saddle)
Mexican Steer Bulldogging, Calf
Roping, Brahma Steer Riding
Wild Cow Milking, Indian Relay,
Indian Running Race, Chariot
Race, and Cowboy Free-for-all.
A 5000 purse is offered for
bronc riding, riders and horses to
be selected each day by the man
agment, and the purses being divi-
ded into finals and three day-mon-
eys.
Riding will be done with halters
or hackamores, and in the finals,
or last rides, riders will not wear
chaps. The rules specify that the
rider must leave the chute with
both spurs on the broncs should
ers, scratching him fore and aft
for the first five jumps, and Leo
Cremer has furnished string of
horses that will do some tall
jumping.
The Mexican steers will be used
in the bulldogging events, and the
Brahmas for riding. The Brah-
mas will be ridden bareback, ex-
cept for single cinch rope. Prize
money for these events over the
three days totals $500.
The bareback bronze riding will
not be in the form of contest,
but will be an exhibition ride by
riders selected each day by the
committee.
Perhaps the most interesting
event will be the wild COW milking
contest, in which cowboys will
rope, hold, and milk cows from a
wild range herd, using pop bottles
for milk pals.
The Indian races are a divert
ing feature of the program. The
Grows from the Pryor mountains
are natural riders and runners,
and are worth seeing when in ac-
ton. The chariot race and cowboy
free-for-all will have to be seen
to be appreciated.

IL miles. At the top, near the
Wyoming line, the highway will
be more than 10000 feet above
sea level as it passes the edge of
the Twin Lakes. This stretch
will probably be the most diff
cult of the whole route.
From the Twin Lakes plateau,
the road will then drop through
the mountains, skirting Beartooth
lake and descending to the Clark's
Fork river, eight miles away. 1t
will be terminated at the Nord-
quist ranch, where a national for
est service trail will temporarily
connect it with the park. Almost
the entire route passes through
national forest country-the Bear
tooth reservation in Montana, and
the Shoshone preserve in Wyo-
ming.
From the highest point on the
road, magnificent sweep of coun-
try will be visible, and its ascen-
sions will reveal countless vistas
to travellers. The route has been
compared to that of the Glacier
Park highway from Lake Mac
Donald to the Mullen pass, here
tofore called the most scenic high
way in the world. Those who
drive the new approach to the yell
lowstone will ride through and
over some of the most rugged and
beautiful mountain country in the
Americas. The trail will bridge
fast mountain streams, swing
along the margins of granite
cliffs, and pass near lakes and
glaciers. From some points along
the route, it will be possible for
the motorist to view more than
six lakes, set deep among the
peaks.
The highway, which is to have
crushed-rock Surface, IA feet
wide, will climb the mountains on
five per cent grade, ascending
steadily, yet not so steeply TINT
autos will be unable to run it in
third gear.
A party of about fifteen men of
the Bureau of Public Roads have
been at work along the route for
the past several weeks, surveying
and stalking out the path to be
followed by the steam shovels and
graders that are to carve out the
highway.

S. PLATTE; SINGES PONY

A barn on the rear lot at 312
S. Platte street, Red Lodge, was
destroyed by fire last Sunday. The
city fire department was called
out at 300 a. M, but was unable
to control the flames before the

fire having had too great start,
according to Ernest Gregg, fire
chief.
Several wash-racks near the
building were also damaged. Prop
erty stored in the barn included
two sets of harness, several sad
dies, and blacksmithing outfit,
all of which was ruined by the
fire and smoke. This was the
property Of Lyle Brown, who has
been using the barn on Platte
street. A Shetland pony, belong
ing to Mr.. Browns son, was burn
ed and singed by the fire, but is
not seriously hurt.

GREYbULL BASEBALL
TEAM HANDS A 81
DEFEAT TO RI. nine

At Greybull, Wyoming, Sunday,
the Red Lodge ball team dropped
9 to 1 game with the GreybulI
outfit, the ability of the GreybulI
batters to find the ball for hits,
assisted by a number of bases ON
balls, contributing to the top
heavy score.
Red Lodges single score came
on home run in the second inn
ing, raped out by Orler, with the
bases empty. While the Greybull
outfit, with nine clean hits dur
ing the game, were able to cross
the plate nine times, punching
their hits quite effectively. Three
if the four hits gathered by the
Red Lodge team were two-bag-
gers, but were clipped out at times
when there were no men on bases.
For Greybull, Prickett was pit
ching to Tess, and Forester and
B. Wadswortn were in the box
for Red Lodge. Yanchisin caught
for the local nine. Maggie, center
field, and King, first base, did
most of the heavy clouting for
GreybulI; and Orler, first base,
Wadsworth, third base, and Va
Vich, center field, made the hits
for Red Lodge.
The score by innings was:

conditions of the nation, partic-
ularly those affecting the farming
industry, and assured his hearer
that the Farmers Union is doing
everything in It's power to promote
the welfare of its members as we'll

be built between Red Lodge and
Cooke City, were opened in the
Bureau Of Public Roads office,
Portland, Oregon, last Friday, and
two low bids were selected from
the list of those who had submit
ted figures on the project.
This approach to Yellowstone
park, which is to begin Ia miles
south of Red Lodge, where the
present road ends, has been divid-

Morrison, Knudsen, Mcdonald &
Kahn, of Boise, Idaho, submitted
the low bid. This company offer
