They had no fixed route or stopping
places and did not know when they
would return.
The Lindberghs' trip started from
New York, and the first stop was
near Rockland, Me-, where they
were forced down by fog. When
the air cleared they went on to
Halifax, and after an overnight stop,
proceeded northward on the way to
Greenland, stopping en- route at st.
Johns, New Brunswick. The plane
was provided with new pontoons
and instruments and the motor had
been speeded up considerably.
FINDING Of Jimmy Mattern,
= American aviator, alive but in
jured in Siberia, was cause for re-
joicing. For sixteen days after he
crashed in the northern wilds he
was barely able to keep alive, and
then he was picked up by Eskimos
and taken to the village of Anadyr.
The Soviet government was active
in the efforts to rescue the flyer,
and reports from Khabarovsk said
a Russian aviator expected to take
him from Anadyr to Nome.

This Summer

The hottest July on record end

ing sudden relief after a week OF
hot, sultry days. August opened
with a ~rainstorm, during which
almost twice as much moisture
fell as during the whole month Of

that was hotter or drier. During
the past month, he measured only
.07 of an inch of moisture from
the skies. The mean temperature
for the month was 66.7 degrees

there were a few nights that peo-

GREENOUGH WINS
BRONC CHAMPION
TITLE, CHEYENNE
Rides Famous Midnight In
Final Appearance of
Unframed Horse

"The high point of the show
during the 1888 Frontier Days at
Cheyenne, Wyo., was the soaring
ride of Turk Greenough, Red
Lodge twister, on the high jump
ing, never ridden horse Midnight,
according to press accounts of the
rodeo in which Turk won the bronc
riding championship.
The Cheyenne show ended Sat-
urday, with Turk Greenough, son
of Ben Pack Saddle) Greenough,
emerging as the best bronc buster
after an expert ride on Satan.
Charles Jones, Fort Worth, Tex,
was declared the champion calf
roper, Jake Mcclure of Livingston
the best steer roper, and Jim Irwin
of Ell Paso, Tex, the best bull
dogger.
Mighty Midnight, the raven col
ored horse who changed from a
hard working COW horse to a buck
ing demon because a tumbleweed
once blew under his belly and sent
him off on his first bucking spree,
ended his reign unridden in his
last appearance in the arena. Turk
stayed with him just two and a
half seconds, which was consid-
cred a long time to stay on Mid
nights deck. Now he's II years
old, showing the effects of ring
bone and other infirmities, and
his owners are retiring him to
their ranch at Chugwater, Wyo.
Here is the way an Associated
Press reporter described the last
performance of Midnight:
"A raging, plunging black horse
sprang out of the chute
"Snorting defiance, he reached
for the sky with his front feet
"Head down, an instant later his
hind feet poised fully 10 feet
above the ground
"Just five jumps and the rider
sky-rocketed out of the saddle,
described a beautiful parabola and
landed in a cloud of dust.
Midnight, perhaps the greatest
bucking horse the rodeo world has
ever known, was through, finished
forever with hated saddle and rid
er and retired to green ranges for
his old age"

OIL CONTRACTS
ON COOKE ROAD
TO Be OFFERED
Portland Engineer Makes
Inspection of Work
In Mountains

Oiling of three sections of the
Red Lodge-Cooke highway that
are now gravelled or being grav-
elled, and ~gravelling of two Sec
lions will be the next construc-
ton jobs to be started by the gov
eminent on the Red Lodge-Cooke
highway, according to F. E. And
rews of the Portland bureau of
public roads office, engineer in
charge of national park projects.
Mr.. Andrews visited scenes Of
construction near Red Lodge, Fri
day, and with Resident Engineer
Mitchell went on a horseback trip
of inspection over the top to the
.Clark's Fork country and Cooke,
Sunday. Mr.. Andrews position in
the Portland bureau office is that
formerly held by G.. ]. Elliott, who
recently was transferred to take
the position Of district engineer at

Andrews told a News representa-
tive that he would recommend that
the bureau advertise for bids on
the oiling of units of A, G and
59-A, and the ~gravelling of units
B and d of the highway.
Units B and D are the only re-
naming sections that have not
been contracted for gravel. Unit
B is the 25-mile section between
Twin lakes and the Clark's Fork,
now being graded by McNutt &
Pyle. Section D is the IT'S miles
extending from the end of B at
the Clark's Fork through Cooke
to the Yellowstone park boundary,
now being graded by Winston
Brothers, Minneapolis contractors.
One of the three links to be
recommended for oiling are now
gravelled, and the third is being
completed at the present time.
Morrison-Knudsen crews are fin
ishing up the gravel job on unit
A on top of the Line Greek pla-

For throwing stones, breaking
windows on Broadway avenue,
Vincent Race, member Of the civil
ian forestry corps from the Rock
creek camp, is in the city Jail this
week.
Early Monday morning, Race
was disturbing the proprietor and
patrons of the hamburger stand
at the corner of Broadway and
Thirteenth. He was elected into
the alley, showing his displeasure
by bunging a few stones at the
back door. Then he came around
to the front and took a few throws
at the plate glass panes. His aim
was rather shaky, however, and
the rocks crashed through the
window of Charles Anttila's tail
or shop on the corner.
Night Officer Fred Lantz ar
rested him. He pleaded guilty to
drunkenness and disorderly conduct
before E. B. Provinse, police Judge,
and was fined 500, sentenced to
six months in Jail, part of which
may be suspended.
Instances of disordefly conduct
and vandalism committed by boys

OWE RAIL FARES
PLACED IN EFFECT

Railway travel at two cents per
mile will become generally effec-
tive on the Northern Pacific sys-
TEN August l, according to an
nouncement made by E. E. Nelson,
passenger traffic manager of the

on excursion dates from time to
time in the Northwest but as a
daily proposition passengers can
count on two cents per mile fares,
good in coaches and Pullman tour
list sleeping cars, on sale daily
over the Northern Pacific system.
First class one-way fares and

TWO ARE HELD TO
ANSWER CHARGES
OF FIRE FRAUDS
Saari Brothers of Butte
Held For Burning of
Bearcreek House

Two Butte men, John Saari, So,
and his brother, Sam Saari, 80,
are detained in the county Jail at
Red Lodge, awaiting a hearing on
charges of burning property to
defraud insurance companies. They
were arrested at Butte last We'd
nesday, brought to Red Lodge by
]. w. Mountjoy, state fire marshal,
and arraigned in the justice court
of E. B. Provinse.
The charge on which they were
arraigned here concerns the burn
ing Of a house at Bearcreek, June
Is, although they are accused Of
a plot to destroy houses at CO.
lumbus and Clancy in Jefferson
county, attempting to cheat insur-
ance companies out of thousands
of dollars. The brothers have been
employed as miners at Butte.
The Bearcreek fire cast suspic-
ion on the pair. On June 10, a
small frame house below the slack
dump of the Smith mine was
burned. AS owners, the Saari
brothers claimed that they had
lost not only the house, but speci-
fically a $685. accordian, a $3.50
violin, a $500 diamond ring and an
expensive watch.
They were charged with having
purchased the house, located on
leased land, for the sum of $50, of
having informed an insurance
agent that they planned to make
expensive improvements, of hav-
ing taken out insurance on the
place, and then, having burned the
house, entered a claim including
$4,000 for furniture alone.
A fire under similar circum-
stances occurred at Columbus,
July II, and previously a fire had
occurred at Clancy. In each in
stance, said the state fire marshal,
little time was wasted from the
day the house was purchased and
insured until the time of burning.
The marshal said he had been I'M
able to discover an instance in
which the houses had been fur
nished. Different names were used
at the various towns, leading state
officers for a while to believe that
the fires were being set by a we'll
organized gang in the state.
When arraigned the Saari
brothers denied the charges. Their
bonds were placed at $500 each,
and their hearings set for August
5, although County Attorney E. P.
Conwell may file direct informa-
ton against them in the district
court, August 8. Conviction car
ries a sentence of from one to 10
years in prison.

LAKES IN
AREA TO BE NAMED

Unnamed lakes in the Sawtooth
region of the Beartooth mountains

ermen, have been stocked with
fish. From Camp Sawtooth, 108
cans of small trout were packed
out and dumped into the virgin
