New Years eve by Mr.. and Mrs. August
Wichman and the New Year was
started out with plenty of fun and
frolic as the big whistle at the local
sawmill announced that new year

materially in the amusement
AS the guests approached the pleas
ant Wichman home, they were greeted
by a prettily lighted Christmas tree in
the yard and as they stepped into the
home another large and gorgeously
decorated tree caused them to exclaim
in admiration. The tree was a mass Of
glittering, thread-like streamers. en-
tirely enclosing the tree from its top
most tip to the floor while colored
lights glowed within Its depths. The
streamers were cut from cellophane
and produced a beautiful effect.
Honors for the evening at the card

while the low score distinction fell to
Mrs. George Neils and Mr.. Rowe.

Game Officials Unite
To Oppose U. 5. Plans

HELENA, Dec 26.-Backed by the
general sentiment of Montana sports
men and the recent emphatic stand of
the Western Association of state game
and fish commissioners, the Montana
fish and game commission is rapidly
preparing to resist the move OF the
federal forest service to assume control
of fish and game regulations IN the
national forests
Just where or when test suit will
be instituted has not been determined.
However, State Game Warden Jack
Carney and his assistant, Tom Peas
ley now are busying themselves with
matters pertinent to the issue.
Meeting in Portland the Western
association denounced the move and
held that the states hold sovereign
control of fish and game matters. States
in the association are Washington,
Oregon, California, Id 10, Utah,
Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado,
New Mexico and over the Canadian
boundary, British Columbia.
Attention of the Portland confer
ence was drawn to many court deci-
sions in litigations of this kind, most
of which held that the states had
absolute power to control and regu-
late fish and game matters, and these
decisions are expected to play vital
part in the Forthcoming test case,
Warden Carney said.

Only Killed for Food.

A marked difference IN the arrow
heads accompanying the lowest level OF
bones themselves indicates that the
Madison buffalo cliff may have been
used for many years. Another indica-
ton Of the number of.years the place
was used is the great number OF bones
the Indians killed only enough at one
time to supply themselves with food
and clothing.
Because the horse had not yet been
introduced in North America these
early game drives were accomplished
on foot and long lines Of rocks to aid
turning the herds in the right direction
are characteristic Of the killing cliffs.
On the uplands beyond the Madison
cliff the remnants of an old line OF
rocks still exists. Round ''tepee' circles
of rocks also dot the approach to the
cliff. Scientists are at variance on the
purpose Of these circles, many be-
lieving that the stones were placed
around the edges of the skin tepees
to hold them down against the wind
Discover Skeleton.
Several years ago relic hunters dis
covered skeleton buried on high
place near the cliff. Entombed with
the skeleton were scores OF odd-shaped
arrowheads, signfying that the oc-
cupant of the lonely wind-swept grave

that his burial in that particular place
was some significant centuries-old
ceremonial, long since forgotten.

BuffalOes Driven
Over High Cliffs
And Slaughtered
Such Was Practice IN Prehistoric
Days--Find Piles OF Bones
Several Feet Thick.

BUTTE. Dec. 29-Prehistoric buf-
falo slaughters, an epoch of Montana
history forgotten even by the Indians
and only recently revealed by exca-
vations on the states central and west
ern prairies, is the subject to be pre-
scented this week by Professor Melville
Sayre of Montana School of Mines be-
fore the American Association for the
Advancement of Science at Pittsburgh
which convened December n.
Aside from millions of buffalo bones
buried IL layers several feet thick IN
hundreds of places throughout Mon
tana, no record remains Of this ancient
group Of hunters. No legends have been
handed down to the Indians who now
inhabit Montana; just which tribes
were such mighty hunters and what
became Of them may never become
known.
Notable among the slaughtering
places is the Madison Buffalo cliff,
situated about rs miles east of Butte
on the Madison rive south of Logan.
About 300 feet from the bottom Of a
fU-lDol- Gill Dol0GliiB VII etiI iAN1l
is a great deposit of buffalo bones, at
least five feet thick.
Buffalo Driven Over Cliffs.
The buffalo were evidently driven
over the cliff and those which were
not killed by the fall were dispatched
with arrows. Professor Sayre says. The
Indians killed only as many as they
needed for food and skins. The war
riors stood at the foot Of the cliff to
kill any animals surviving the fall
while the women of the tribe smoked
the meat over smouldering camp fires
nearby and tanned the hides in the
sun"
Something of the camp life of these
early people is being discovered from
