seSSed certain savoir faire, was
adept at meeting people and dress
ing himself well, held q definite
lf-confidence. And now his mind
was suddenly distracted by femi-
nine person who happened to have
the Sea- diagonally in front Of
him. With two companions she had
come there and sat down.
''Wow!" murmured Mr.. Sanders
to the friend who had come with
him.
Don't know her." that friend re-
piled, already acquainted with Mr..
Sanders mind and temperament.

Mr.. Sanders.

'sWow" repeated Mr.. T. j. San
ders, still looking at the girl.
Now any good salesman is nec-
essarily resourceful man, and T.
]. Sanders was a good salesman.
Forthwith, therefore, he man
euvered for Nightmare to put his
paws up on the back of the girls
seat. She turned to see the dog.
"Git down, Nightmare, I'll break
your peck!" growled T. ]. ''I beg
your humble pardon, Miss. It won't
happen again." T.. j. smiled and
tipped his hat.

said. IT think he looks darling! He
really looks like an owl. Here,
boy" she reached to pet him.
Which was just enough for Mr..
Nightmare. That canine gentleman
promptly deserted his master,
bounded over to the girls seat. She
accepted him temporarily, bought
him a soda pop and bade him drink
from a paper cup; bought him an
ice cream cone to lick, made him
bark Justify when the Rice rooters
yelled, made him stand on his hind
legs along with everybody else
when the band played For Rice's
Honor, and for the remainder of
the afternoon completely ignored
Mr.. T. j. Sanders.
Mr.. T. j. CLEANED one other sig-
nificent bit Of information, how
ever, while his heart was yearning.
He heard the girl call the lady
next to her Mother. This, no
doubt. cramped Mr.. T. Us normal
style. In fact, he accomplished
nothing; he merely collected his
dog at the end of the game and
left the stadium.
That Saturday night wasn't very
exciting for Mr.. T. ]. Sanders. He
felt no urge to go to show or a
road house or otherwise make
whoopee. Unaccountably, he stayed
at home and read a stuffy maga-
zine. Sunday he slept lot, but
his mind wandered some. Monday
afternoon he was back on the Rice
campus, hanging around the ath-
ietic field as, usual, chinning with
the boys and such. But he acted
rather morose.
Tuesday he began to listen to
the rather frequent references be-
ing made to Mrs. Sara Sue Davis
and her cottage for Counsel in Ro-
nance. She sounded like she was
the most important thing about
the campus, next to football. Peo-
pie said she was deft matchmak-

Meet people. Heck he, T. j.
Sanders, was yearning to meet
somebody! A girl! Maybe this Mrs.
Davis could say, why not I? IF she
advertised help for people in
search Of romance, maybe she
could help him find the girl he saw
in the stadium. He'd know her any
where. She was one in a million.
She was just little higher thar
his shoulders. She dressed in blue
and the sassiest, cutest hat. She
had cheeks that were rounded with
natural pink on them, and with
a dimple in one of them, and lips

Mr. Sanders departed from the
field house without a word of ex-
PLANTATION. He was that sort of
salesman. Whenever he sensed or
saw course of action. he moved
at once. -
Presently he rang Sara Sues
door bell. Calculus Jones answered.
'You wishes to see Miss Sara
Sue, suh?"

"You in need Of romance, Mis-

Power Rote
Case In Court

The principal case during this ses
sion of the district court concerns
a hearing between the Montana Pub
lie Service Commission and the To-
bacco River Power Co. The pur-
pose is to fix the rates for the
latter.
In 1896 the commission cut rates
and gave the power company a
schedule under which to work. An
injunction was filed by the power
company to prevent the commits
sion from cutting the rates. Tenn
porary restraining order was re-
leased providing that the power
company pay to the court the diff
ference between the schedule rate
and the rate they were charging.
At the present session the court
will decide whether or not the COM
mission was fair in its action ano
if the injunction is to be made per-
manent.
J. w. Bonner is representing the
Montana Public Service Commits
sion and Grub & lockwood of Kali
ispell are the attorneys for the To-
bacco River Power Company.

300 Enjoy CCC
Boxing Bouts

The local CCC camp staged an ex
cellent show last Friday night when
several boxing matches and a
wrestling match were held.
The show started with two boyi
rendering a group of Hill-Billy
tunes on a violin and guitar. The
first bout was between Al Rockish,
155 and Bud McKitrick, las. These
fellows were all for putting on a
real scrap and did finally get 60
ing in the last part Of the third.
Charles Smith, 135, and ALI Dun
woody, $50, mixed ii up to degree.
Many haymakers missed the target
or the whole thing would have been
more effective. Ray thinner and
Walter Gilchrist, both at 1876 pounds,
put on good scrap. 1t was fast
and the boys were led on by their
companions who were on the outer
side of the ropes. The feature match
of the evening between Kid Hantz
she at 1873 pounds and Bud Foyster,
140, was limited to two rounds.
The short fight was very effective
however and spectators witnessed
a. great deal of action.
r The one wrestling bout of the ev-
ening was put on by Butch Valley,
ITO pounds and Bert ElsWick, 1865
pounds. Butch got two falls in the
second round and shortly after re-
ceived strained leg which necessi-
tated stopping the match.
There was great deal of spirit
and good fellowship manifested in
the crowd of approximately 800.
Many local people attended and al
though there were no knockouts
or blood shed there were several
set-downs and one causality.
Mr.. Ed Vail, educational direc-
tor, states that similar matches will
be put on frequently and all visitors
are welcome. He said that Libby
fighters were being contacted and
hoped that the next program would
include some battles between local
boys and CCC youths. 49,

much Importance to Lincoln county

eminent departments. I shall also
seek $5,000,000 for the Yellowstone
dam and other meritorious projects"
Of particular interest to Lincoln
county were two other wires. In
them Senator Wheeler said. CAS-
you know, the WPA has approved
your school project but claims no

tofore been approved by the depart
ment should be earmarked for con-
struction in the spending bill so as
to insure completion of the same
Senator Wheeler is also taking
similar action relative to an irriga-

A fourth wire from Wheeler says:

tons to existing national forests in

To Use More Care

Complaint has been lodged with
me to the effect that boys and even
some adults are altogether too care
less in hunting gophers and birds in
the neighborhood surrounding the
George Hennessy place in southwest

hunting there with their % rifles
and are careless about their shoot
ing. MFR. Hennessy has reported that
frequently both he and his wife have
heard bullets whizzing close to them
while they were working about the
place. It is dangerous to hunt in
the vicinity of homes and it must be
stopped. One warning against such
a practice ought to be sufficient
