At that time gambling was licensed
and half dozen places in Missoula
operated faro. roulette. craps and other
games, but once q man Is bank
fiend, no other game except faro has
any charm,
It was the custom to allow men
known to the house to occasionally
open a snap" A snap meant that the
person would borrow the faro layout
and start 3 game with a small bank
roll. In dealing the snap no checks
were used as any player could bet the
amount OF the snap bankrou in one
bet so all the wagers were made and
paid in cash.
On the night In question, Swanson
came to town from the wood camp. He
called at a saloon and gambling house
where he had made many former
plays. However. instead Of bucking the
bank which was in fun operation, he
asked the proprietor II he could open
a snap
Sure" answered the owner to his
good customer and he turned over an
unoccupied faro table and layout to
the Swede.
Most Of the men in the place knew
Swanson and when the woodchopper
pulled out a roll three inches In diane
ter, from the pocket Of his overalls,
eyes bulged and some said. Why
Swanson, you have money enough to
start bank. Why open a snap?"
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1937-05-15

"Ay just sooner have some fun deal
ing da snap, you know" he answered
with a grin.
A young faro dealer who was just off
shift, named Cosgrove, was standing
near and Swanson peeled $40 bill OFF
the big ron and asked him II he would
act as lockout.
Cosgroye took the $40 and climbed
up in the high-legged chair, expecting
Swanson to be broke within a hall
hour.
Players cashed in their checks at the
regular faro game and crowded over
to SwansOn'S snap. With q careless air,
the Swede tossed the roll Of money
into the cash box attached to the faro
table. shuffled the cards, put them IN
the box and the game was on.
First Deal Lucky
His first deal was lucky one and
instead Of having 10 pay any money
from the big roll, more than $500 Of
money won during the deal lay beside
the roll.
BY the time the deal was over every
rounder and sport in Missoula learned
that Swanson was dealing snap.
The woodchopper broke about even
on the second deal but in the third
session he lost the 5000 that he had
won and was compelled to strip two
Dos from the original roll. He made the
first turn and broke even. BY this time
hundreds of dollars in bills Uttered
every card on the layout.
"Ay tank Ay 60 out and get me
someding to eats" he said to Cos
grove. You made deal ain Ay ba
right back"
The young professional started to
object, but Swanson was insistent and
the lookout climbed down and started
to deal On the first turn he won
more than 5000 for the snap and called
to Swanson with a grin, but the wood
chopper had left the place. Cosgrove
continued TO win and at the end OF the
deal the game was more than 81 900
to the good.
Swede Not 10 BE Found
CoSgrove shuffled the cards and
started another deal. The game con-
tinued to win and several OF the
piungers who started to break the snap
had gone away In search Of another
stake to buck the snap.
At the end of an hour Cosgrove sent
q messenger to search the cafes for
Swanson, but the man could not be

found. The game was now more than
$4,000 winner and the number Of play
ers had dwindled from q score to q
half dozen.
Il wish that Swede would get back
here" said CosgroVe. am working
day shift and want TO get to bed" An
other hour and all the snap players
were broke. TN wait around for few
minutes. / wonder what happened TO
Swanson" said Cosgrove to the owner
Of the house
You mean Swanson, that bird that
always plays faro?" asked railroader
who had just entered the place. why,
saw him jump q WeStbound freight
more than two hours ago"
Then 1t dawned on Cosgrove, he
called the house owner and together
they counted the winnings. 1t was
exactly $3.50. They carried the money
to the safe behind the bar and then.
with no one looking but the house man,
Cosgrove opened the original roll which
Swanson had tossed so carelessly into
the money box. Two 20s and one $40
bill covered a huge roll Of green wall
paper.
Counting the $40 he paid Cosgrove
and the $40 he had paid out at the
third deal, Swanson started the game
with only 500. The $50, the roll Of
EANNAA B<AiSNA anu kA4C WAAAAlAlBo VI EJfQ0V
were placed in the safe. Il remained
there for more than two years, yet no
Swanson ever came to claim It, In fact.
CoSgrove spent more than 500 trying
TO locate the woodchopper. The only
clue ever received was that Swanson
arrived at Seattle in boxcar and later
was supposed to have gone to Alaska.
More than two years after the big snap,
Cosgrove and the owner Of the place
divided the $3.50.

occasionally or full or nearly full time.
Usually they have other jobs and
make the solicitations casuc4, odd
time work.
The Interpretation holds, on the in
formation furnished by the company,
that these workers are not employees,
but are independent contractors, so
far as the State unemployment COM
pensation act is concerned, and the
corporation is not required to pay
contributions on wages or commits
sions paid them. However, the work
ers have the privilege of filing claims
and if they show they are actually
employees, then the act will apply
to the corporation, retroactively.

MAY is BEST TIME
FOR PLANTING CORN

College Station, Raleigh, April 20
May is corn planting time over most
of North Carolina and the best dates
for planting the crop in the Piedmont
and Mountain sections of the State
are between May 1 and May Is, says
Enos C. Blair, extension argonomlst
at State College.
To escape injury from the bud
worm, destructive corn insect, Blair
recommends planting between May 5
and May 10 in the Piedmont section
and planting should be completed in
the Coastal Plain section by May Is if
possible.
"Our field demonstrations also indi-
cate that May is the best Month for
planting soybeans," Blair said. IF
planted during this month they will
grow off better and will make bet
ter yield of both hay and seed than
when planting is delayed until June
or July. The same is true, to some ex
tent, of cowpeas although the cowpeas
should not be seeded until the latter
half of May. Velvet beans should be
planted as early in the month as pos
sible because these require a long
growing season. Crotalaria, sandy
soil legume, should be planted about
the first of May"
Blair suggests that if some of the
small grain us needed for hay, it
should be cut during may.
