PUP To
FEATURE. BALL. |.

"Gingginggoofus." the champion
yellow dog of the world and Arabia,
has been discovered in El Centro,
and has been adopted by Ell Cen
tro lodge of Elks as their mascot
for the big charity dance which
will be held in the lodge rooms
Saturday night.
Today "Gingginggoofus," sport
ing a jaunty straw hat, was riding
around town perched on the hood of
Fred Nebel-Thau'S car. Around his
(the dogs neck the exalted rul-
er of the lodge hung a placard
calling attention to the charity
dance.
Inquiry as to the antecedents of
"Gingginggoofus" brought forth
the information that he was born
in the old post office some months
ago and was carefully nurtured in
luxury under the new DEAL" with
Postmaster Frank Richmond as his
private custodian.
When the move was made to the
new post office, "Gigginggoofus" was
assigned special quarters by special
direction of Postmaster General
Jim Farley. Unfortunately the post
master general didn't know that
the grille work in the new post
office doesn't go up to the cell
ing.
"GingginggoofuS knew it and
leaped over the grille Sunday night,
scampering to the Elks lodge where
he was given quarters.
He will hold down the position
of honor at the charity ball Sat
urday night and has been given
special guard of honor to insure
his appearance at the ball.

ported paper" transactions in
their report to the clerk of the
house concerning their 1923 CAM

NEW h|RMA|L
PLAN OFFERED
(Contirued From Page u

during the next year and draft
a general government aviation
policy.
The President recommended that
pending airmail legislation be re-
vised so that contracts could be
awarded for only a year. Meantime
the proposed commission could
complete its investigation and re-
port to congress.
Initial response of leading Re-
publican critics was no more friend
" than other proposed resolu-
tions of the airmail situation.
His proposals will be offered i'm
mediately in congress by Chair
man Kenneth D. Mcclellan, D.,
Tenn, of the senate post office
committee, and Chairman James
M. Mead, D, N. Y, Of a similar
house committee.
Under the administration pres
ent program, the successive steps
in ending army airmail opera
tions and restoring the service to
commercial carriers will be:
1. The post office department will
open bids Friday on 90 day con-
tracts for II major routes. These
contracts could be extended for an
additional six months.
2 Congress will authorize estab-
lishment of the investigating COM
mission and will authorize con-
tracts for one year, or until such
time as new legislation is enacted
8. Congress. probably next ses-
sion, will authorize long term con-
tracts on the basis of a general
policy for development Of aviation
in accordance with the Presidents IS
desire to coordinate all air activ-
tiles.
In advocating study by a COM
mission, Mr. Roosevelt leaned for
the first time toward Hoover
strategy in dealing with contro-
versial major problem. Mr.. Hoover
frequently employed commissions
to seek solutions Of troublesome
questions.
The Presidents proposals were re-
garded by some as a compromise
which might halt increasing at
tacks upon the administrators
cancellation CT domestic contracts
last February 9.

Story of Capt. Grant Marsh's Record Run
Do1un Yellowstone W;th1W ourded Soldiers

| settlement troops and populace were
wild, demanding news. They were dis
appointed. for the boat did not wait To
give any details.
At Bismarck the boat locked, and a
Paul Revere expedition in the middle
of the night started to rout people out
of bed. Editor c. A. Lounsbury of the
Bismarck Tribune, who would have
been with Custer but for the illness of
his wife, had sent a reporter named
Kellogg. who was killed with Custer.
Lounsbury and the Western Union op-
orator kept the telegraph wires busy
for % hour telling the world Of the
Custer massacre. The story stirred the
emotions of the world.
The Far West proceeded to Fort
Lincoln with the wounded and with
dispatches for the widows of Clusters
command. Others had to break the
news: Captain Marsh remained with
his boat.
Mrs. Custer sent a carriage with a
request for Captain Marsh to visit her
and the other sorrowing ONE of the
fort. Heartbroken, he couldn't gather
the courage to go.
Marsh had entertained Mrs. Custer
and others of the officers wives that
spring as he prepared to leave Fort
Lincoln for the Yellowstone. They had
pleaded for permission to accompany
him. He had refused; it was we'll he
did, for the care of the wounded on the
return trip would have been compli-
Gated with the care of those whose
hearts were broken by the tragedy.
Captain Marsh never again saw any
of those women. He returned o to
the Big Horn for further, but less ard
uous service with the troops. !
AS late as 1910, at the age of "a years,
Captain Marsh was still active in
s~teamboating on the Missouri, with
headquarters at Washburn, N. D. His
career is ended, but his record remains, !
an outstanding career along a hostile
frontier. He never lost a boat. He had
but n wreck, and that was when, in
his younger days, a cyclone turned over
a boat for him at St. Louis.
Captain Grant Prince Marsh left an
indelible mark on the history of Mon
tana. The importance of his service
was over-shadowed by spectacular
events and tragedy. But it was his
service which helped to set the stage
for those stirring events, and his place
in Montana history is secure.

C. Workers Resume
Grazing Land Survey

A survey of the grazing lands in the
national forest areas started a year ago
by the CCC was resumed recently by a
crew of four men under the direction
of j. E. Weaver, forestry student at the
Montana university and experienced
forester, R. T. Ferguson announced a
few days ago.
There are approximately 1,600,0 900
acres of grazing lands in the forest re-
gion, officials said, of which 600, 900
acres are in use. The balance is either
unsuitable at present or reserved for
various reasons.
The present survey will include ap-
proximately 100000 acres of grazing
lands. 1t is anticipated that the sur
vey viii be completed this season.

Ranges Stocked to Capacity

Forest grazing ranges are nov stock
ed to capacity, it is said, except those
areas which have been set aside for
game, which are relatively small. The
governments attitude in relation to
these IS that the stock a. be moved
to other pastures, while the game can
not be moved and must stay where it
is. In the Custer forest, 30 dam i'm
provements have been made, as well as
several hundred springs developed.
