Red Cross
Roll Call
Response Generous, Final Report
To Be Published in Next
Weeks Paper.

Belated reports from various
districts in the county indicate
that there has been a. generous
response to the invitation to re-
new membership in the Red Cross.
While not reaching the desired
quota, the activities of the men,
bers of the federated clubs and
other representatives soliciting
must necessarily give way to the
annual T.B. Seal Sale.
The ability of the county TO
match funds with the state board
OF health in order to insure the
public health and child welfare
work continuing is so important
that all who have planned or
promised to join the Red Cross
should do so at once so that their
membership fee may add the nee
essary weight.
It is hoped that a final report
OF this membership Roll Call may
be made in the next issue of the
Tribune-Herald, wherein all men,
bers and donors names will be
published.

The usual quarterly enrolment
period for the purpose of filling

uary lis, 1887. Applications for
CCC Junior enrolment are now
being taken in the county relief
Office. where information regard
ing regulations and eligibility for
enrolment may be obtained by all
interested persons.
An unusually large number of
applicants is anticipated for this
enrolment due to recent changes
in WPA and Rural Resettlement
programs. A smaller requisitlon
for requirements in the camps
will be made by United STATES
army officers in charge because Of
the fact that almost all of the
present enrollees have already
signified their intention of re-en-
rolling at the camps. This fact IS
significant proof of the appre-
citation shown by enrollees of the
distinct advantages of camp lite
and the income derived from en-
rollment. -

Building Up
Pony Quality
Superintendent of Crow Indian
Reservation Purchases &c
Morgan Mares.

John B. Shreve, special federal
officer for Big Horn county and
the Crow Indian reservation, re-
turned Sunday afternoon with a
herd of thirty-Six registered Nor
gan mares which were raised by
the U. S. Experiment Station at
Miles City and sold to E. E. Shell
ing of Musselshell. These animals
were purchased by Robert Yellow
tail, superintendent of the Crow
Indian reservation, for foundation
stock with which to rehabilitate
the Crow Indian stockmen.
In view of the fact that Nor
gan horses r nearly extinct IN
the United States, they, too, like
the buffalo species, will be kept
alive on the Crow Indian reserva-
ton as the breed can be kept
pure, due to the fact that an
outstanding registered Morgan
stallion is already in the agency
barns and it can be confidently
predicted that a fine class of COW
ponies and saddle horses will be
seen in the possession of the Grow
Indians within the next three
years.
The superintendent states that
a delegation of Crow Indians will
leave the Crow Agency for Wash
ington on the 9th or 28th of this
month to be present for the second
Inauguration of President Roose-
welt and Immediately after the in
augural period to take up legisla-
tive matters for the Crow Indians
with the next session of congress.
