BEARCREEk HAS
ROUS|NG LABOR
DAY FESTIVAL
Washoe Wins Champion
ship of Valley in Contest
With Bearcreek

More people than the mining
town had entertained for years
crowded into Bearcreek for the
Labor day celebration sponsored
by subdistrict No. 3 of the United
Mine Workers of America. Events
of the day, opening with the par
ade in the morning, included races
and contests for men, women and
children of all sizes and classes, an
address by Tom Stout, railroad
commissioner, and a baseball
game for the championship of the
upper Bear creek gulch.
The parade started at $50 from
the Lodge Temple hall, and drew
iEto its procession most of the
children in town, who received
free candy. Among. the miners
who marched was Bill Dempster,
74-year-old who has worked in
mines since he was a boy of nine
in Pennsylvania, and who drew an
award for being the Oldest miner
in the parade. Mike Markovich,
II, claimed second honors.
MANY of u people through
sheer fright, others through an
awakening of the impulses Of
shame and sorrow, now agree to
the necessity of far-reaching
changes in our industrial and Soc
ial ORDER" said Commissioner
Stout to his audience, in outlining
labor's Cougar fight for a greater
share in industry's profits and
better working conditions. Things
worth while have already been ac-
complished. Hundreds of thous-
ands of children have been re-
leased from the slavery of factory
employment. Hours are being
shortened. Two million idle peo-
pie have gone back to work. But
the battle will not be won until we
have scaled the last rampant Of
unemployment"
Races and novelty contests, such
cracker eating contests and
egg-and-spoon races, and broad
jump contests were carried out
during the day.
In the afternoon a picked base
ball team from Washoe defeated
the Bearcreek club, 10 to 2, to
claim the baseball supremacy of
the mining region.
B~earcreek's two runs came in
during the first inning. After
kastelitz had been thrown out,
Butch" Wadsworth raped out a
two-bagger, Frank Johnson
scored him with another double,

EXPLOSION KILLS
WORKER ON COOKE
ROAD Job SATURDAY
Glen WEIGH Dies in Powder
Blast; First Fatality
On the Project

The first fatality among roat
builders on the Red Lodge-Cooke
highway project occurred Satur-
day afternoon, when a premature
powder blast killed Glen B
Happy WEIGH, 81, on one Of the
highest points of the Beartooth
road.
WEIGH was a powderman in the
employ of McNutt & Pyle on sec
ton B of the highway. He was
working on the route near Card
ner lake, in the granite and slabs
of ice on the mountain top.
Saturday afternoon he had been
blasting. out layers of ice and
rock, shooting most of the holes
several times. Before going off
shift, shortly before six o'clock, he
was loading a hole that had been
previously "shot" twice-what is
known as a "hot hole.
Before tamping in the final
load, so pounds of bag powder,
WEIGH failed to blow out the hole
to cool the rock and clear out ac-
cumulated gas, according to work
men who were near him at the
time. AS he was hooking up the
detonator wires to his battery,
Donald Hall, his helper, said, II
smell gas in there. Let's get away
from here"
Hall Immediately ran away
from the loaded hole and climbed
into the cab of a truck. Then the
powder exploded, while Welch was
standing within six feet of the
hole. He was blown more than
100 feet, according to witnesses.
Death occurred instantly, almost
every bone in Welch's body being
broken by the violent blast, said
Coroner R. G. Martin.
Hall escaped death by a narrow
margin. The hood and tenders of
the truck in which he took refuge
were twisted by the blast, and
rocks crashed into the cab beside
him, but he was barely scratched.
Nc one else was injured.
Welch's remains are being taken
to Ashland, Ore, for burial. He
is survived by his wife, a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Eugene Stone of Nc
Leod, Calf, and one son.
He was one of the oldest in re-
gard to years of service i'm the
McNutt & Pyle employee, and came
to Montana when the company
undertook the Cooke road job in
1881.

MAKE DIFFICULT
MOUNTAIN JAUNT
Two Men Cross Mountains
On Foot from Mystic
To Grasshopper

A hike through some of the
most rugged country in Montana
from Mystic lake through the
Granite country to Grasshopper
glacier and Cooke-was described
by Vinton Bray, graduate geolo-
gist of the University of Ne
braska, and Ray Shively, upon
their return to Laurel last week.
The trip was made to prospect the
upper West Rosebud region and
to collect specimens in the vicinity
of Cooke.
It is believed that Bray and
Shively are the first who ever
made the trip as described. Old
timers had assured them that it
would be impossible to reach
Cooke by way of West Rosebud,
and that they would have to take
the old Saltwater trail.
They were almost seven days
between Mystic lake and Cooke.
AS it is impossible for pack ami
mails to negotiate the rough coun-
try, they carried all their food and
camping equipment. The going
was so difficult one day that they
progressed only a mile and a half,
Swamps and brush, steep ascents,
and above timber line, boulders
made their passage strenuous.
They reached the foot Of Grass
hopper glacier about noon on the
sixth day.
Only one black bear was en-
countered, although they saw
numerous tracks of wild game

Below she heard footsteps on
the stairs, a familiar voice
singing a familiar, silly tune.
She ran to the balustrade.

She saw that it was her
friend. Then she observed that
Phil Kennedy was beside her.
A moment before she had been
eager to talk and plan, but

Her hands trembled. Her
heart pounded suffocatingly.
Very slowly she spread the
paper open on her lap. Her
eyes, fascinated and feaful,
searched the front page. She
had expected screaming head
lines. They were not there.
The story she had dreaded
was not there-not on the
front page.
She found it finally, scant
quarter column, buried on the
ninth page among announce
ments of New Year dinners
and New Year speeches. She
read the brief story once, and
then again.

dulously. "well."
