EDGAR VOTERS
HEAR SPEAKERS
OF Cop. GROUP
Audience of $50 Attends

Tuesday Night

Swinging into mid-campaign,
members and candidates of the
Republican party held another
successful meeting Monday night
at Edgar, where $50 people gath
cred in the high school auditor
ium to greet the county ticket.

frage on November 8.

lief already in effect throughout

leadership of President Hoover

its accomplishments nor attempt
ing to make light of governmental
shortcomings, but warning the

ent administration thus soon after

FAST FIGHTS END
IN DRAWS, JOLIET
Promoters Plan to. Put On
Talent From Bearcreek
and Red Lodge

In an exhibition of fast STEP
ping and punching, Irish" Parks
and Jimmy Ryan, middleweights,
fought to a draw in the main
bout of the Joliet boxing card last
Saturday night.
Another large audience crowded
the arena to watch the program,
featured by an appearance of Alex
Knaub of Billings and Laurie Pep
pin, Canadian boxer, who are
meeting tonight at Billings.
Preceding Parks and Ryan on
the bill were Morris Evans and
Dan Millits, who failed each 9th
err for four rounds to bring sew
eral rounds of applause from the
galleries. Their match was also
a draw.
Due to the fact that Peppin had
recently experienced an auto acct
dent and claimed to be in too
shaky a condition, neither he nor
Knaub put on the gloves for the
exhibition workout that had been
promised.
A newcomer in county fight
circles, who answers to the name
of A. Mogallanes, will meet Nor
ris Evans in the feature match
this Saturday. He is an Edgar
boy, little known, but said to have
potentiality in both mitts. An
other Edgar scrapper, Buckle
Dowell, will go on against Nick
Spazati of Joliet in the semiwind-
up. AL Gerber and Matt Macabee
will furnish a preliminary.
In a communication to The
News this week, Secretary John
Jarussi promises that the Joliet
boxing association will ring in
some talent from the Red Lodge
Bearcreek zone in future pro-
grams. "Huck Finn" Michelcic,
well known both as q baseball and
fist singer may be one of those
to appear. Several other boys,
who are suggested as good COM
petition for any boxers around
the horn, are Orville Williams of
Washoe, Tom Gillen and "Con-
crete" Saastamoinen of Red
Lodge, not to mention half a dog
en- others.

FIND WATER WITH
OIL, BOWMAN WELL

Possibilities of the new Dry
Greek oil we'll of the Ohio COM
pany, drilled on the Bowman
lease, were shown Friday when
the well flowed 1900 barrels of
oil during a 24-hour test.
The Bowman was bottomed in
the Lakota at 1928 feet, where
drilling was suspended to avoid
the danger of running into bottom
water. Water seeped into the
hole, however, during the first
test from a shale formation under
the sand, it was reported. Effort
will be made to cement off the
leak.
"Ohio's No. l Bowman WE'LL"
says The Montana Oil & Mining
Journal, (which recently extended
the Dry Creek field two miles
northwest, appears certain to take
top rank among field wells. 1t is
of special interest because it is
located across a fault from the
rest Of the field, on the field

CH|NK SEASON IS
OPEN THIS SUNDAY
Scattergun Artists Warned
To Observe Rules for
Pheasant Hunting

With the close of the open sea-
son on waterfowl, November 30,
scattergun wielders car open up
on Chinese pheasants, as well as
all available Hungarian part
ridges in the county. The season
will be open five days, up to and
including Thursday, November 3.
It is to be remembered that the
state game commission has for
hidden the shooting of female
Chinks. Bag limit is five birds
per day, and not more than three
Of the bag should be p~heasants.
The possession limit is ten birds,
no more than six of which can be
Chinese or Monaghan pheasants.
Also remember that shooting at
birds from an automobile is not
allowed by the game laws, and
that even the act Of standing on
a highway and shooting a pleas
ant makes the hunter liable to a
fine.
Snowfall has been aiding duck
hunters to some extent, though
no startling catches have been re-
ported this year. Hunters are
knocking over an occasional elk,
with best hunting apparently in
the Cooke and Gardiner regions.
Response to petition by the Red
Lodge Rod & Gun club to open
the western part of the county to
big game hunters is not yet forth
coming from the game commits
sion. and it Is doubtful that an
open season can be secured this

PROMISE OF Jobs
is FALSE HOOVER
President Says Roosevelt
Has Planned Fantastic
Relief Program

Speaking in the Olympia arena
at Detroit last Saturday night,
President Hoover assailed the ode
structive Democratic program"
for rehabilitation, as advocated by
Candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In stating that the economic
tide is already turning, he criti-
cized Governor Roosevelt for hold
ing out the hope "to 10000, 900
men and women now unemployed
that they will be given jobs by the
government" on self liquidating
public works.
"The gigantic forces of depres-
sion are in retreat" he said. "The
reason for the condition in the
world today is the lack of conf
dence and faith. The most men,
acing condition in the world today
is lack of confidence and faith. 1t
is a terrible thing to increase this
undermining effect by holding out,
for political purposes, promises to
100000 men, which cannot be
kept and must in the end leave
them disillusioned."
An effort to furnish such a
number of men with government
work, he said, would cost between
$9,00O,0O0,000 and $12, 900, 10000
drawing money away from indus
try and causing more unemploy-
ment.
Part of his speech the president
devoted to correction of "misstate-
ment of facts" concerning the
government fiscal policy in recent
years.

STATE POLITICS
GO ON THE AIR
Expenses of Campaign Are
Cut to Minimum by
the Parties

ASSOClaleu IfesS SlalI writer
Helena, Oct. 25.-(AP)-State
politics goes on the air this week
as the major speakers of both Re-
publican and Democratic parties
pour into mikes at various Mon
tana stations their appeals for
votes.
Until now there has been little
radio campaigning. Party chiefs,
whether they will or not, are
pointing to a record for minimum
expenditures. Confined by their
extremely attenuated finances to
two or three small rooms and one
larger one, forces limited to the
chairman, secretary, stenographer
and one or two assistants, part
time or volunteer, headquarters Of
both big parties little resemble
the spreads of PALMER days, and
broadcast costs don't fit we'll in
the budget.
They're busy enough, though,
with conferences, working out
itineraries for speakers, preparing
publicity, mailing literature, lis
tening to reports from the field,
arranging to get speakers into the
places where they're most needed
and attending to the multitudinous
details that arise from any cam
paign. But business is transacted
by mail, rather than by telegraph
and telephone. There are no carte
blanche orders for hall rent, banks,
sponsored parades and like affairs
that ran up the expense accounts
in other years.
Now the heavy guns of both
parties are in action. Senator
Wheeler threw his strength into
the Democratic campaign last
week. Joseph M. Dixon, first as
sistant secretary of the interior
and ex-governor, took the stump
Thursday night at Wibaux. Sem
ator Walsh is on his way west to
take a hand. The gubernatcrial
and congressional candidates with
their colleagues, have been tour
ing from town to town, speaking,
exhorting, handshaking, until
hardly a community remains that

WINTER STOPS
ROAD WORK ON
MOUNTAIN TOP
McNutt & Pyle Store Gear
for Early Operation
Next Spring

Early winter has forced a shut
down on the highway construction
job on top of the Beartooths,
where power shovels of the Nc
Mutt & Pyle company have been

Within half a mile of Twin
lakes, at an altitude of about
1900 feet, the machinery was
forced to stop last Saturday night
on account of frost that went
down a foot and a half into the
earth in a single night. Near the
Twin lakes the Unit B tote road
was to have been connected with
the completed Unit A contract, to
enable McNutt & Pyle to reach
the outside world via the Rock
creek canyon and Red Lodge.
This summer the Unit B con-
tractors carved out a tote road
from Beartooth lake acorss some
of the toughest parts of their
route to the SUBMITS. A new
camp was established at Long
lake in the heart of the Bear
tooths, where construction ma
chinery will be stored this win
ter.
Supplies and gasoline for early
operation next spring are being
trucked in to Long lake from
Gardiner, via Cooke, a distance of
about 90 miles, while a of
mechanics is overhauling equip
ment.
Before the snow drifts much
deeper around Long lake the road
workers will pull out of the reg
ion, leaving Joe McGann of Cooke
as winter keeper at the big camp.

company, southwest of Beartooth
lake. Bill Kearns will spend the
winter.
The Morrison-Knudsen crews
have not stopped work on the two
four-mile contracts in the Rock
creek canyon, along the route be-
tween Red Lodge and the recently
built Unit A grade.
