BURGLARS OF JOLIET
STORE TOO FAST FOR
WOULD BE CAPTORS

Following a number of thefts
and petty burglaries in and near
the town of Joliet, the Talmage
store was visited by burglars last
week, who were apprehended in
the act of robbery, but not cap
tured.
Early Friday morning, proprie-
tors of the store were warned by
the hooting of a burglar alarm in
the Talmage store. Earl Talmage
and Bodley Hough hurried to the
establishment, to discover an au-
tomobile parked in the alley back
of the store, and several men with
in busily rifling the shelves. The
two paused briefly to wreck the
timing mechanism of the car,
against possible escape of the rob-
bers, and while so engaged must
have alarmed the burglars. AS
Talmage and Hough entered the
back door of the store, three men
leaped through the front windows
and fled down the main street.
A phone call was put through
to Red Lodge, and Sheriff Albert,
with Undersheriff Fairgrieve, mo-
tored down to Joliet. The COM
bined searching party made an
intensive search along the railroad
tracks for about two miles in the
direction of Rockvale, it having
been noticed that the three fugi-
tives had run in that direction.
Mrs. L. Smith, from a window Of
the hotel across the street from
the Talmage store, observed the
robbers as they broke from the
store and ran out of town.
1t is believed that the three es-
Gaping men were given a lift by a
motorist on the road to Laurel
either innocently or otherwise, as
no trace Of the miscreants could be
found, and no oot-travelers were
reported through Laurel.
In the automobile left by the
robbers was found an amount of
clothing, tools, and other goods,
some of which had been stolen
from filling station and ware
house in Silesia. The automobile,
according to Sheriff Albert, was
pne reported stolen from Tony
Connell in Helena, August 10.

HORSES CRASH THRU
FENCES FOR BENEFIT
OF R0DEO AUDIENCE

Oral Zumwalt, of Wolf Creek,
and Blacky Bryant of Blackfoot,
Idaho, won first places in the
bronc riding contests of the Car
bon County roundup last Saturday
and Sunday, winning out over
some of the best Of the local rid
ers, and some of the meanest
horses that have yet reared about
the Red Lodge rodeo grounds.
The calf roping events of both
days were won by Joe Welch Of
New Mexico, whose best time was
close to 20 seconds. Welch had a
way of hooking, throwing and tie
ing the rabbit-like calves that
could not be completely initiated
by other riders, although several
other good exhibitions were given.
0. X. Osness of Red Lodge, Jack
Wilson, Billings, and Harry Wei
selman of Malta were winners in
the wild horse race.
The complete list Of top riders
was:
Bronc riding, first day: Oral
zumwalt, first, Blacky Bryant,
second, and Howard Tegland, third;
second day: Blacky Bryant, first,
Buck Logan, Eddie Bolton, Merit
Osness, and Howard Tegland in a
tie for second and third places.
Calf roping, first day: Joe
Welch, first, Fox O'Callahan and
Bill Greenough second and third;
second day: Joe Welch, first, Cy
Cook and Bill Greenough second
and third.
Wild Horse race: 0. K. Osness,
first, Jack Wilson second, and
Harry Weiselman third.
Thirty-two riders made bare
back horse and steer rides during
the rodeo, with almost all hands
taking part in the cowboy free
for-alls.
The Baustadt- Crane lot of wild
horses and steers came well up to
expectations, not only giving cow
boys plenty to do and think about,
but furnishing spectators with
several thrills. The arena fences
were not strong enough to hold
couple of these horses. Several
riders were piled in an extremely
uncomfortable way, although none
were seriously injured.

TO DEMONSTRATE
CORRECT METHOD
FOR |RR|GAT0RS
School for Farmers to be
Conducted from Special
Railway Cars at Park
City.

Demonstrations of proper land
levelling and irrigation methods
will be made by representatives of
the Montana State College and the
Northern Pacific railway for the
benefit of Carbon and Yellowstone
farms. Four special railway cars
will be sided at Park City, Sep
tember 21, for three-day stop,
during which time the demonstra-
tors will give practical and theo-
retical lessons. G. H. Bingham of
Malta is in charge of the instruc-
tion party.
One car is to be stripped
coach, containing a small model
of farm, showing irrigated ro-
tation of the crops. The neces-
sity for levelling and proper irri-
cation, together with the proper
use of the various types of irriga-
tion, will be shown by means of
this model.
Another coach will be used as
lecture room, wherein brief des-
criptions off the actual demonstra-
tions will be given. The other
two will be flat cars, loaded with
sample levelling equipment man
ufactured by various machinery
companies, as we'll as models of
home made machinery and equip
ment.
This machinery will be unloaded
and taken to a selected field for
the practical demonstrations, where
grade stakes will be set up to in
dicate dirt to be removed. Oper-
ators of the machinery will dem
onstrate the various pieces in
action, explaining their purposes
and uses.
The train makes a three-day
stop. Unloading and preparation
of the demonstration field will be
carried on the first day, part of
the test field being leveled and
surveyed. On the second day the
public is invited to witness the
proceeding. Short talks on the
general meaning of the demon
stration are to be given in the
lecture car before the audience is
taken to the field to see the work
as it is performed in actual prac-
tice.
Last week the demonstration
train stopped at Sidney, where $50

sometimes run short.
On the Clark's Fork headwater,
which includes the south water
shed of the Beartooths and the
Shoshone forest in Wyoming, a
conservation unit might be install
led, said the report as given by
Shelley. A dam could be construc-
ted in what is known as the Box
canyon, and on several small
streams that are fed by lakes in
the Shoshone forest. This would
be sufficient to hold back flood
water in the Clark's Fork water
shed during the high water times.
At the hearing it was asked that
Investigations by engineers be
made to corroborate the opinions
expressed.
Other proposals at the hearing
included one for a huge reservoir
in Big Horn canyon, made by a
representative of the Hardin Lions
club, A. w. Koch, and sugges-
tion for regulation of the Tongue
river near Miles City. Suggestions
dealing with about 45 other sites
on Yellowstone tributaries in Wy
oming were also placed before the
hearing.
A proposal for the regulation of
the main stream of the Yellow
stone by the installation of con-
troll gate near Fishing Bridge at
the lower end of Yellowstone lake,
made by the Montana chairman of
the Mississippi Valley Flood Con-
tfol association and state engi-
neers, was vigorously opposed by
Park officials and representatives
of the National Park Service.
Roger Toll, superintendent of
the Park, declared that the pro-
ject would definitely damage the
park, establishing precedent that
would soon be followed by other
encroachments on the nations
playground"
Frank A. Kettredge, chief en-
gineer of the National Park SER
vice, and Guy Edwards, assistant
superintendent of the Park, also
went on record as believeing that
such dam would destroy much
of the natural value and charm of
the preserve, and declared that
the National Park Service and De-
partment of the interior would op-
pose any move toward its install
lation.

RED LODGE mine
HAS new PROCESS
Washing Plant Replaced by
Sewing Devices for
Coal Grading

Abandonment and dismantling
OF the coal washing plant at the
Red Lodge mine of the Northwes-
tern Improvement company has
been followed by the installation
of a new system of sorting ano
grading coal that is now in oper-
alton structures that have beer
remodeled to accommodate the new
machinery.
The old structure that contain
ed the machinery for grading coal
by the washing process has beer
wrecked and removed to facilitate
the operation of the new appara-
tus. A building formerly used as
8 coal bin housing now contains
the mechanism for the dry-sortinq
of the coal.
Coal from the number three slope
is dumped from the weighing
house onto conveyor belts that
carry it to the preliminary grad
ers, where the large Jumps are
graded out, to be loaded ON rail
way cars for shipment. In this
grading stage. medium variety
of coal used locally is also graded
out.
The cdal remaining from the
first operation is now carried on q
conveyor belt to the new grading
apparatus. This consists of SER
les of rocker tables, bearing
screens of varying sizes. As the
coal passes over the tables, the
different sizes and grades are
seived into special bins until only
the standard stove size remains
at the end of the line.
The new varieties Of coal nov
being put out by the company are
stoker coal, consisting Of pieces
under p of an inch in diameter
nut coal, from Y to 11a inches
and regular stove coal, in Jumps
varying from 142 to four inches
The larger Jumps Of coal are hanc
picked for slate and other foreign
matter as they come off tht
screens at the end of the series
The mines at Red Lodge are nov
working about 1870 men, due to de-
creased demands for the local pro
duct, particularly by the Northern
Pacific, which now takes most Of
its engine coal for this district
from the open pit mine at Cole
strip. The number three slope is
the only one now being mined, the
slope below that having been seal
ed off some time ago.
