BONES UNCOVERED
ROCK; ROAD WORKERS MAKE
FIND BY ACCIDENT

Sealed in a tomb of dirt and rocks
and hidden from sight for perhaps
countless centuries, a few bones and
teeth which may prove to be a link
with the prehistoric past have been
unearthed on Feeley hill, IS miles from
Butte.
Brought to light in the same manner
which has given the world many of its
important archaeological discoveries, the
find was accidental, made by state
highway employees engaged in road re-
pairs. The meager remnants, found 20
feet underground. may prove to be a
hitherto unknown type of creature
which once roamed the earth. or may
be only a commonplace find.
Melville Sayre of the School of Mines
faculty, who Is well versed in the fields
of archaeology and anthropology, an
nounced, when inspecting the discovery,
that the bones may prove to be any
thing but that he doesn't believe that
too much significance should be at
tached to them. pending a careful
study.
It is possible the bones will be sent
to New York to determine their char
acter.
The bones are reported to be quite
small and may once have belonged to
a camel.
Whenever a find of this nature is
made the highway commission reports
it to the nearest university branch and
the site is left undisturbed until ar
inspection has been made.

Fort Peck Dredge Finds
Hull of River Steamer

Several parts of what probably once
was a steamer that sank off old Fort
Peck in the heyday of river traffic,
has been unearthed by a dredge. It is
likely the ship was small, possibly a
barge or raft, for all the timbers are
two or three inches in thickness, most
ly oak, with a few pieces of white pine.
The more imaginative have the ship
now 200 feet long. a beautiful belle Of
the river, sunk with all kinds of treas
ure or cargo. Besides planking, all that
has been taken from the pumps are
some bolts, cornerpostS and the like
a couple of wagon loads of material in
all. Some of the pieces are so long
they damned the pumps and it was
necessary to saw them out. Other pieces
were found during routine cleaning.
First indications that the dredge had
run onto this old wreck were given
when a couple of planks were brought
up. In the return swing, the dredge
evidently went squarely over the old
wreck, judging from the amount of
material belonging to the old hull
which was collected. It is not likely that
the dredge will pass over the area
again.
The wreck is located near the site
of old Fort Peck, now more OF less eX-
posed since the courSe of the river has
been changed. Dredging, since its in
ception, has rewarded pipe and pump
cleaners with rich finds. Bullets and
lead settle in the ball joints, as will
any heavy pieces, and buffalo skulls are
as thick as flies. But excitement has
never been quite so high over any
find as over the old steamer.

Twenty-Five buildings formerly
occupied as homes by miners en-
ployed at the Star mine near Mus
selshell have been donated TO the

Board Buys Tract
for Game Farm

The Montana fish and game commits
sion has purchased IA acres of land
about three miles northeast of Billings
for the site of the states second game
farm which will enter construction
stages this fall.
Announcement of the action was
made by w. c. Keil of Billings, mem
Der of the commission, who states that
birds will be distributed from the farm
to all Montana areas east of Livingston
and Great Falls.
Plans are to have at least 300 pens in
full operation by next spring. With the
IA acres the farm plans to maintain
800 pens when fully developed.
Climate in this part of the Yellow
stone valley is particularly beneficial
for a game farm, Keil explained. The
maximum Matching season at the state
game farm at Warm Springs is about
three months, while the Billings sea-
son will be at least five.

Safe Driving Course May Be Put in High
Schools, in Face Of Mounting Auto Deaths

"Sportsmanship in Driving" Safety
First" and prevention Rather Than
Cure" are three of the main points of
the Traffic Safety Program" which
J. A. Woodland, high school supervisor,
is endeavoring to have installed in high
school courses throughout the state.
To meet and solve the problem of
danger to life and property, which has
groWn so alarmingly since the automo-
bile became a major transportation
factor, the American Automobile as
ISOLATION has developed an elaborate
course of instruction for high schools,
since it usually is during his high
drive a car.
Speaking of the Importance to Mon
tana of the purse planned for the
thousands of high school youths, Mr..
Woodland states:
Time Ripe for Action
with a national death toll of sc, 900
for the year 1884 and $1,000 in 1885
and with the death list from auto &C
cidents in our w state placed at 43
is superfluous to urge the necessity of
doing something about it.
THE time is here for Montana high
schools without exception to do their
part in informing: the youth who at
tend them of the laws, rules and regu-
lations relating to traffic safety"
A synopsis of the proposed traffic
course in the high schools gives a few
timely high lights" as follows:
Lesson 1-"Artificial leg, latest mod
ell. costs SIPS or more. but it can't equal
the original for walking, dancing or
general satisfaction"
Lesson 2-"Say it with brakes and
save the flowers"
Lesson 3-"That part Of the auto
which causes more accidents than my
other is the nut that holds the steer
ing wheel"
Lesson ITO avoid that rundown
feeling, cross crossings carefully"
Lesson SHE did not heed the traf-
fic cop. he raced ahead pellmell, the
doctor told the sexton and the sexton
tolled the bell"
Lesson 6-"Don't think a train has
passed just because you see its tracks"
Lesson 7-"Fools used to blow out
the gas. Now they step on it,"
Lesson 8-"Money will buy a lot Of
things but it can't buy spare parts for
your body that are as good as the
original ones"

STATE SHOWS @
FEEDER CALVES
GREAT FALLS HAS FIRST EVENT
NOV. $40; SECOND FOLLOWS
AT BILLINGS, NOV. I1-12

Although shipment of calves in
many parts of the state has been
heavy, there is still a supply of
good material in western Mon
tana that should be entered in
the feeder calf shows to be held at
Billings and Great Falls in No
vember, according to 1. NJ. c. An
dersOn, extension livestock SPEC
ialist.
Anderson urges stockmen who are
planning to make entries, to do so as
soon as possible, either direct to An
derson at Bozeman OF to county agents
who will forward them to him.
Because no special preparation is
needed, the feeder calf shows should
appeal to Montana stockmen, Ander+
son states. He suggests, however, that
to improve their appearance, and be
made used to handling. before show
time.
Some Stockmen, Anderson claims,
feel that if they top out 20 head from
their bunch, the remainder will not
sell as well as the tops. In reply, An
derson reminds growers that a few
years ago when Montana calves topped
the feeder show in Chicago, several
lots of the same breeding which placed
well down the line, brought the same
prices as the top animals. This was
because feeders wanted to get calves
of uniform breeding. K
Feeders realize, Anderson says, that
all calves do not feed out the same, and
they have a better chance to obtain
uniformity when they select all their
calves from n herd. It is quite likely
that feeders attending the shows this
fall will be willing to pay a little pre-
MUM to get a full carload of calves Of
the same breeding. y
The first show will be held at Great
Falls Nov. 9-10. and the second viii
take place at Billings Nov. 11-12.

Found in This AHc1eut
Indian DiU01re CuSt0m

The old Indian divorce custom of
couples bidding each other farewell"
without benefit of lawyer when one
Of the mates tires of the other is still
valid.
Legality of the free design for living
was upheld by Secretary Ickes of the
department of interior in a ruling re-

Burke, local counsel in a test suit based
ON the right of a husband to claim
property OF the deceased wife when
the wife had deserted him for a new
home some years before her death.
The secretary concluded his ruling:
Certainly the actions on the part OF
both participants to the marriage cere-
money indicates a valid Indian Gus
tom divorce as the decendent lived
with several other men and the claim
ant with at least another woman"

Arkansas Pronunciation
Decided by legislature

From 1914 to 1913, ArkansaH was
represented In the United States SEN
ate by Chester Ashley, born In New
England. and Ambrose II. Sewer. born
In Tennessee. Ashley pronounced the
name as spelled while Sewer always
said Arkansaw. Sewer contended that
the Frehch got the name from the
Indians and spelled the last syllable
4sas" because that was pronounced
saw" in the French language. The
Vice President In recognizing Senator
Ashley always said "the senator from
Arkansas" while In recognizing Sena-
tor Sewer he said "the senator from
Arkansaw." The people were divided
on the subject.
In 1881 the Arkansas legislature
caused the appointment OF commits
sion OF learned men to investigate the
subject. and on the strength Of Its re-
port passed the following resolution:
THE only true pronunciation OF the
name Of the state, In the opinion of
this body tthe leglslature), Is that
received by the French from the In
dlans. and committed to writing In
the French word representing the
sound. and that 1t shall be pronounced
In three syIlables, with the FINAL IS"
silent and the "a" In each syllable with
the Italian sound and the accent on
the first and last syllables, being the
pronunciation formerly universally and
now still most commonly used, and
that the pronunciation with the accent
on the second syllable with the sound
OF IA as In man and the sounding of
the terminal IS" Is an innovation to be
discouraged" The resolution was
passed In March, 1881. The name OF
the river, however, Is pronounced Ar
kansas by many citizens Of the state
who are careful to call their state
Arkansaw.
