Everts was lost In the rough country
south Of Yellowstone lake. he was
mounted. and said afterwards that he
was not worried the first night when
he failed to locate the camp.
Horse Bolts, With All Supplies
The next day he resumed his search
for the other members Of the party.
Because he had lost his glasses he was
compelled to diSmomt IN order to ex-
anime a trail which he had been fol-
lowing. As he did so his horse became
friphtened and ran away It was never
seen afterwards. On that horse, fast
ened to the saddle. was nearly every
article Of equipment which Everts had.
After spending a half day in q vain
effort to retrieve his horse, he went
back to the place from which the ami
NAL had bolted. There he had scrubbed
notices and posted them In trees In the
hope that some Of his companions
might find them. No one had been
there.
It was then, Everts said, that he first
realized he was really lost. He was
without food blankets or fire, alone in
a dense forest. The froSts were severe
every night. He was frightened by the
bowling of coyotes and the roaring Of
mountain lions.

guns and lighting signal fires. They
placed food caches where they thought
he might find them. Everts nearsight-
edness prevented him from seeing the
fires or signal smokes. The thick tim
Der deadened the sounds of the guns.
After being out three days Everts
gave up circling in an effort to locate
camp or trail and started out in the
direction which he supposed his COM
panions had taken, but which was, as
a matter of fact, almost exactly the
opposite.
He came to a lake in a deep valley
by lofty peaks. On its shores
there were hot springs. On its waters
were ducks and swans, but he had no
way in which to kill them. His fear
that he would meet up with Indians
gave way to the hope that he would.

MONTANA LIQUOR

IA CARS OF ALCOHOLIC BEVER-
AGES CONSIGNED To STORES
IN ONE DAY, SAYS BOARD

The Montana liquor control
board, which is doing a business OF
S6,5OO,0OO q year and lately shipped
out of Helena in single day IA
cars of liquor to meet the demands
of the liquor consuming puDilc,
held a meeting and spent most OF
the time in consideration Of the
administrative and business setup
of the board.
Members of the board are Gov. Roy
E. Ayers, Secretary of State Sam
Mitchell and Attorney General Har-
rison j. Freebourn.
Considerable time was spent, Sec
rotary of State Sam w. Mitchell said
in discussion of the way the business
is being carried on, administration ex-
penses and the like. Two OF the mem
bars, Governor Ayers and Attorney
General F'reebourn, are new TO the
work of the board, having become
members since Jan. l. The board made
no changes in the system, though the
new members may later propose i'm
provements.
When the present liquor depart
ment administration system was or
ganized, it was not realized the way
the business of buying and selling
liouor by the state would grow. The
late Gov. Frank Fl. Cooney, member
of the board during his time in the
governors chair, hazarded the opln-
ion that the business would not grow
beyond the shipment OF carload a
day.

Once he thought an old friend and

could see the mountains where he was
sure he could find help If he could

He stumbled and fell and was unable

There he was found by Jack Bar

soaked his clothing and kept him warm.
He remained there for seven days.
When the storm broke and the sun
came out, he thought OF a small pair
OF field glasses in his pocket. about the
only thing he had in them. With the
lenses he managed to light fire. While
he was sleeping his fire spread and
started q forest fire from which he
escaped with difficulty. AS he travelled
he carried a burning brand with him
so that he could have a fire at his
camps.
When, at the end OF one Of his
marches, he laid it down to gather
some dry sticks with which to kindle
a fire, the brand went out. But just
before shutdown the clouds broke and
he succeeded In kindling his fire again
with the aid Of his field glasses.
Several times he lost his fire and
spent the night without one, keeping
warm by remaining constantly moving.
He later became too weak for this. One
day when he felt for his field glass
to kindIe a fire, they we're missing he
went back to where he had spent the

they had fallen from his pocket.

it into a pulp with rocks and
boiled It in a can he had found at one
of the party's old camps. After he
had swallowed the soup he slept all the
rest of the day and all night.

DAY
Is INTERPRETED
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES Law
APPLIES TO HIGHWAY
WORK

Attorney General Harrison J.
FreebOurn issued an opinion re-
Gently directed to County Attorney
T. III. McAIear of Chester, inter-
ureting the eight-hour law as ape.
pIicabIe TO highway work. and held
that the employment by q con-
tractor, holding q contract from
the state for highway construction,
of a man for is hours continuously,
eight hours In one calendar day and
eight hours In the next such day,
is In violation of Montana laws.
The opinion contained the following
of sections Of the sta
tute bearing on the eight-hour ques-
in section s07s, relating to the work
ing of females, the legislature used the
phrase "any day of "a hours" In sec
ton 3081, relating to railway employees
the phrase lin any 24-hour period" Is
used. The "24-hour" period is men
toned in section SO68, relating TO the
hours of employment OF hosting engl-
neers: in sections 3069.1 and 30692. re-
lating to the hours of work for drivers
and attendants of motor buses; ~
section 1910, relating to the hours OF
of telephone operators.
an the absence of any language in
the statute indicating that the legisla-
ture intended a day to be 2 calendar
day, such construction should be given
10 the statute which is in harmony with
other statutes and with the purpose and
spirit of laws limiting the hours OF
work of employees. The purpose OF such
laws is related to the health. morals
on welfare of the public $50 G. j. So
This is no doubt one Of the main OBJ
iects of the law even where the state
apart from considerations of the po-
lice power, acting in its inherent pow
sr, determines the number Of hours
which win constitute a days labor for
all those employed by or in behalf OF
the state or by contractors who con-
tract with the state.
@Tt is NV opinion, therefore, that "a
day" as used in section 3079 means q
period of time consisting Of any "a
hours and not a calendar day from
to midnight and that such

Is hours, eight hours being In one call

Only q few weeks ago John E. Lee,
employed by Carl Anderson, in caring
for a band of sheep on Wild Horse
flat. northeast of Hinsdale, was lost
for five days on the prairie. Lees
troubles started when, during a storm,
he stumbled and fell, striking his head
on a rock or the frozen ground. He was
rendered unconscious, and when he re-
gained his senses found his FACE frozen
and his eyes swelled shut.
Unable to see sufficiently to be sure
where he was going, he became lost
in country with which he was per-
fectly familiar For five days he STUN
bled on. For five nights he slept where
he could, one night in a dugout which
he came across, the other nights in
holes in coulee banks which he bur-
rowed out by hand. No food. His dog
stayed with him and the two slept
been for that, Lee probably would have
frozen to death.
When Lee failed to show up at the
camp with his band of sheep. his en-
ployer sent out searching parties. On
the fifth day Leslie Jones and Frank
DrabbS found the trail of Lee and his
dog in the snow, followed it and came
upon the herder, totally exhausted, and
with face, hands and feet frozen. Lee
lived to tell the story, but died later /
as a result Of the experience.
