TOUGH BRONCSTO
FEATURE CARBON
COUNTY ROUNDUP
Display of Action and Skill
Promised Spectators at

urday and Sunday.

During the two days of the Car
bon County Roundup, at Red
Lodge, Saturday, August %, and
Sunday, August %, varied pro-
gram of events will be offered
for entertainment of rodeo fans
and well planned schedule of
contests will test the skill and
toughness of local bronc busters.
To provide plenty of bucking
material, Promoters Baustadt and
Crane have been combing the
ranges between the Yellowstone
and Shoshone rivers for several
weeks, roping in the meanest and
Wiriest broncs that could be found.
Some of the steeds procured, it
is said, are horses that go crazy
at the slightest mention of a sad
die.
Texas steers of the Baustadt-
Crane outfit are being shipped in
from the Big Timber region for
use in the steer riding events, and
will be available for the benefit
OF riders who wish to do little
plain and fancy bulldogging.
The program as announced by
Jack Crane, arena director, will
include both saddle and bareback
bronc rides, steer riding, calf rop-
ing and range riding. Special
events will be the cowboy free
for-all and the cowgirl free-for-
all.
| Purses on most contests have
been divided into two day moneys.
The total purse for bronc riding
is $120, divided into day moneys
of $50, $40, and $40 for the first
three places. Riders and horses
for each day will be selected by
the managers and judges, and rid
ers will draw for mounts. Stand
ard rules will apply on the con-
test.
The purse for the calf ropIng
contests will be split into day
moneys of $50, SIS, and $40, the
total purse for each day being
$55.
Prizes for steer riding will be
awarded on the piece-work plan
of $3.50 for each critter success
fully ridden. Selected riders will
also ride bareback broncs for
$3.50 a throw, although the bare
back riding will not be run as a
regular contest.
The cowboy free-for-all carries
purse of 500 each day of the
show, with the free-for-all for
cowgirls rewarding day money of
+ eight, five, and three dollars for
the first three places.

M0RR|S0N.KNUDSEN SEEK CONTRACT
FOR STATE SECTION OF COOKE ROAD
BOISE PARTY VISITS TO
VIEW PRELIMINARY
WORK ON UNIT A
OF HIGHWAY

H. M. Morrison, of the Morri-
son-Knudsen contracting company,
of Boise, was in Red Lodge Mon
day and Tuesday of this week, in
specting the preliminary work of
the Unit A job, arranging details
of construction with engineers
here, and investigating the possi-
bility of extending the limit of
the Morrison-Knudsen contract to
include the eight-mile section be-
tween Red Lodge and the starting
point of the Federal project.
AS granted, the contract award
ed the Morrison-Knudsen outfit
now specifies the route between
Quad creek and the Twin Lakes
plateau, although the highway is
to be built by Federal funds as
far down as the 8.6 mile post be-
low Richel lodge. Provision for
the building of the stretch between
the 8.6 post and Quad creek has
not yet been made, nor have ar
rangements been made by the
state highway commission for the
road building Immediately south
of town.
While here, Morrison expressed
the willingness of his company to
undertake construction of the
whole route between Red Lodge
and "the top, provided that the
proper arrangements could be
made with the state and Federal
commissions to allow Morrison and
Knudsen to place bid ON the
stretch.
while our company has its
machinery on the ground for the
work north of Quad creek" said
Morrison, at would be compar-
atively easy matter to extend our
activity south to include the COM
plete distance from Quad creek to
Red Lodge. Both state and Fed
eral governments could thus be
saved the expenditure of money
for the placing of a contract with
another company, which would
have to move it's machinery into
the territory at a great expense.
''The costs of moving road
building machinery are extremely
high" he remarked, 'the trans
porting of one shovel, for instance.
from Salt Lake to Red Lodge
costing more than one thousand
dollars. The highway commission
could affect great saving, then
by allowing the machinery now
going in to be used for the COM
plete job"
Efforts were made Tuesday by
Morrison and 0. H. P. Shelley to
gain permission from the highway
commission that would allow Nor
rison and Knudsen to bid on the
extra sections. Appeals to w. ]

mission We're answered unsatis-
factorily, however, the matter be-

TWO VICTORIES With
ONE DEFEAT CHALkED
UP BY RI. PLAYERS
Burlington Inn and Billings
Trimmed. House of
David Wins

Playing a heavy schedule since
the game with the Sioux City Van
Dykes last Monday, the Red Lodge
team turned in two out of three
wins in games with the Burling-
ton Inn team of Cody, the Billings
ball club, and the House of David
colored team. Cody and Billings
were defeated, but the House of
David nine came off ahead of the
locals.
Last Thursday the Burlington
Inn team took an 11-5 trimming
in a game played at Cody, the Red
Lodge gang enjoying a hitting
spree to build up a decisive score.
A two bagger by Phillips in the
second inning, followed by Kastel-
itz' single, placed the first mark
in the scoring column. Yanchisin
opened the third with hit for
three bases, and two more runs
came in during the inning, assisted
by Hartwig's hit and some sloppy
handling Of the ball by the Cody
boys.
The fifth inning brought two
more runs, and in the sixth Yam
chisin started the merry-go-round
with a two base hit. Five run
ners crossed the plate during that
frame, stealing their way around
the bases when the necessary hits
were not Forthcoming. Holman,
Cody pitcher, was also generous
with his bases on balls. The elev-
enth run came in during the ninth
on hits by Gregory and Michelcic.
Batteries were, for Red Lodge,
Michelcic and Vavich, Burlington
Inn, Holman and Phoenen. For
Red Lodge, IS hits, II runs, 6 er-
rors; Burlington Inn, 6 hits, s
runs, A errors.
The team from Billings played
at Red Lodge Sunday, receiving
the short portion of an 11-2 score.
Wadsworth, Red Lodge pitcher,
held the Billings club scoreless
and hitless until the last inning,
when he let down far enough to
give Palmer, Broun, Schwartz and
Ravenscraft a hit apiece to pro-
duce the two Billings runs. Dur
ing the game Wadsworth struck
out 16 batters and sent only one
man to first on balls.
Some nice clouting by Vavich
and Freeman contributed to the
Red Lodge total, with E. Houto-
men, Wadsworth, Yanchisin, Mich,
elcic, Hartwig, Orler, and Phillips
each getting clean hits.
The game summarized:
Red Lodge 10230032 IL II A
Billings 00000002 2 A 10
Red Lodge; earned runs, 6, 2
base hits, 2.
Batteries: Wadsworth and Free
man, Ravenscraft and Johnson.
The House of David colored
team of Benton Harbor, Mich,
fresh from a victory over Billings
on the preceding day, defeated the
locals in a contest here Monday.
The smoky ball players began
making circuits of the bases in
the second inning, and continued
to be that way until the game end
ed at the close of the seventh.
The final score was 10-1, being
swelled by home run and sever
al two and three base hits by the
House of David batters at strate-
gic points in the game. Red
Lodges score was a home run,
thumped out by Yanchisin at the
opening of the sixth inning.
Batteries were Michelcic and
Vavich, Atkins and Everett. YAM
chisin caught in place of Vavich
during part of the game.

Si[uer Price Will Advance With Business

Now that the world is getting back to a sane
business basis, after running wild for few years,
we NAV reasonably expect continuance of the pro-
gressive business advances witnessed in the two OF
three years preceding 1929 Our super business men
have proved to be stuffed shirts and the men who
sold the United States short at the height of the boom
made billions.
The production of metals is about back to 1929
level and future increases of production will be re-
gulated by demand rather than by the vaporings Of
the publicity men for the bulls and bears of Wall
Street The production of silver will show falling off
in proportion 10 the decrease in the output OF other
metals and the price Of silver will advance with eX-
pansion of world business.
England says that the gold standard made Lon
con the financial center OF the world and that she
has no intention Of turning to bimetallism. The
British policy of placing India on gold standard
caused and crashed into the world financial depres
sion not contemplated when the decision made
to turn gold Then again there is not enough gold
for world wide gold-standard policy. Bankers will
have to become miners if they are to secure enough
of the yellow metal to carry out their panic making
scheme. Gold has disappeared from circulation in
America and if the miners Of gold would hold their
product is seems certain that the world would pay
premium for the metal,
There should be little difficulty in securing world
cooperation initle effort to stabilize silver The Unit
ed States will no doubt find England willing to stop
dumping the silver reservoirs Of India The action OF
India has thrown the world into panic India has
been taking the gold cure and finds that the is
worse than the disease It is too bad that Williams
Jennings Bryan is not alive so that he could continue
his brilliant exposition of the silver question. With
the aid of the radio and his wonderful logic he might
even swing the world to the bimetallic Standard :

The National Comedy

Congress is commented on by VIM. /. Daley, Wash
ington representative Of the National Editorial AS
sociation in recent letter 1t control
of the new Congress elected last Fall which seems
within reach of either Of the two parties that wants
Strangely enough, according to Mr. Daley, neith-
er party appears to want control and it's accompany
ing responsibilities. If the Republicans organize the
new Senate and House, coalition Of Democrats and
Insurgent Republicans thWart their legislative
plans, as has been demonstrated In certain recent
instances IF the Democrats gain control, Republi-
President could easily defeat any legislation not
to his liking through the veto power
&c. whatever happens, it is very likely that the
next Congress will be rather futile body incapable
of any accomplishments upon which to appeal to the
country in the elections Of 1882. And neither party
seems desirous Of taking the responsibility of lead
ership when prospects Of making political capital
seem so remote.
Although the Republican radicals have made
lot of noise during the present session. they have not
gotten very far with their sociastic program. In
fact it is quite evident that the country at large is
getting out of patience with their visionary schemes
and the obstructive tactics they have adopted in
effort to put them through.
Seldom if ever. in the history OF the country
have national politics been in more chaotic condi-
tion and leaders Of the various groups all at
with respect to the outcome. Therefore we may see
unusual and frantic efforts at buck-passing at
Washington during the next few months. And buck
passing is an indoor sport at which politicians
past masters.
Their antics in this line between now and the
next presidetnial election will assume the aspect of
