flar meeting last night. voted do
nation of $1,000 10 the fund for
staging the celebration in con-
nection with formal opening of
the Overseas Highway on July 2.

of which will be approximately
$500.

Chairman Carl Bervaldi, Commits
sioners VIM. r. Porter, Braxton
B. Warren and Cleveland Niles;
attorney for the board, w. Curry

Chief Deputy Sheriff Bernard
Waite, and members of two COM
mitees, and several interested
citizens.
Trevor Addresses Board
B, d. Trevor, spokesman of the
general committee of the Over
seas Highway celebration com
mittee, addressed the board on
the subject of the donation for the
three-day celebration. He was
asked how much he was asking
and replied that the amount was
/ to be left to the board.
II was the intention of the COM
mittec. he said, to ask a donation
| from the board at once in order
to have funds with which to get
activities of Manager Warren
Smith under way Immediately,
and later during the ante-cele-
bration period to make second
and final appeal, stipulating no
amount either time.
Porter Opposes Idea
Commissioner Porter said he
did not agree in this idea. He
felt that the county had done
practically all of the spending,
laying the foundation for secur-
ing the bridges and felt that the
Bridge Commission should bear a
large part of the expense of the
celebration as the receipts of
travel over the bridges would be
greatly increased.
MIR Porter continued with the
statement that during the entire
time the negotiations were going
On with tbs, government citizens
! had not Been called upon to do
nate one, cent of the, necessary
efnnds. A few public spirited Cit
/ Gems had donated about S.. 900.
the county had donated approx
.mately $20.000 and, citizens had
again come to the assistance and
donated about $4,000 He thought
under those circumstances the
citizens should bear the greater
part of the expenses of the cele-
bration.
Treasury Without Funds

Porter said that there we're prac-

Chinook winds such as prevailed
at ChOteau few days ago dld more
than melt snOwbanks. They thawed
out frozen memories and set old
timers to thinking of hard winters
of days gone by, when sudden
chinook proved boon to stOckmen
hard pressed by deep snow and
frigid weather.
one of these old-timers in Choteau
is Charles S. Mcdonald. During the
hard winter Of 86 and 81, was winter
ing on what is now the Reickhoff place
above Choteau," he remarked. Like the
old COW in Charley Russelps sketch,
Mcdonald was waiting for chinook"
Arriving in Montana in the spring
of 1881, he had gotten enough money
together by 1866 to buy band OF sheep.
o, @. Cooper purchased from the gov
eminent a tract of land which formerly
was a part of the old Indian agency
four miles above the present town of
Choteau. Cooper, who had been a buddy
OF McDonald's father in the Civil war,
and located in Montana not long after
the close Of the war, permitted his
young friend, Charley, to winter on
this land on condition that he build
shed and a cabin on 1t.

FERED THIS YEAR

According to an announcement
by Pres. Francis A. Thomson, OF
Montana School Of Mines, the
short course for miners and pros
pectors, usually given during the
months Of January and February,
viii not be offered this year.
A record breaking enrolment at the
Butte mining institution this year has
made necessary the use Of all avail
able laboratory and classroom space to
take care of students enrolled in the
regular degree courses IN mining,
metallurgy and geology. This fact to-
gether with q shortage OF staff and
funds prohibits the offering Of the six
weeks course which has been given in
cooperation with the state depart
ment Of vocational education for five
wears, during which time total OF
about $50 proSpectors and others in
terested in the mineral industry have
awaited themselves OF this opportunity:
Many inquiries from miners and
proSpectors in Montana and several
other states have been received, tndt-
eating widespread interest IN this short
course. President Thomson has re-
marked that the necessity Of discon-
tinuing this useful work, which has
been Of great aid to the mineral In
clIgtrv Is greatly regretted. Since con-
fnlrarce Of the short course Is war
ranted by the interest shown 1t y
hoped that circumstances viii permit
its being offered next year.

Jim Conrad, well known man about

United States currency, the bin fold
contained but one piece Of papeT-a
crude bill Of sale for merry -go-r0und.
Jim knew as much about merry-go-
rounds as a Fiji Islander knows about
relatively. BE hurriedly dressed and
circus men, Like the Arab, they had
folded their tent In the night and were
on their way.
The new owner Of the wooden horse
race track hired Theodore Hennessy TO
haul the contraption to q local iron
works. where the Wheezy steam engine
was repaired.
Huge Success
He then had the merry go-rOund,
minus q top covering, installed on the
grounds near where the junior high
school is now located on East Broad
way.
The first night, scores Of children
who are now men and women Of Butte,
made the opening night huge success.

Miners Mount Wooden Steeds
Every wooden horse was mounted by
a child when a crowd of about 20 half
drunken miners appeared along East
Broadway. Ready for any diversion one
of the crowd shouted: We've bin ridin
cages all month. Let's ride harse.
The idea took like w1ldfire. Children
were lifted tenderly and not too ten
DERBY, from the hobby horses and 20
husky miners mounted the steeds.
''I,1l bet q dollar me harSe stops near
est the milne" shouted another.
'Tsave us all put in a dollar and the
man on the harse that stops forninst
the milne gets the pot" shouted an
other.
stop the whole damn stable till we
get up the money" another shouted az
Conrad. Each miner put dollar into
hat and with toot Of the engine, the
dummy colored boy grinding on the
organ, the whirl started.
It was early in the evening and stnl
daylight. The shouting of the men and
the general din of the yelling children
brought hundreds to the scene. Soon
there was a half dozen customers Tor
each horse.
Conrad Makes Money
Conrad raised the price of ride to
IS cents but the crowd continued eager
to mount the Steeds. Men with bottle
of beer would send boy for another
bottle without leaving the saddle.
Filled with Much Beer
A man named Tim Brady happened
to look at the wooden dummy dressed
to represent colored boy. Sure and
what kind Of q damn boss are ye any
hOw?" he shouted at Conrad. "Ye Work
the nayger every damn race and you
don't even give the lad a drink
The merry -go-round continued on
high until past midnight In three
nights Conrad earned more than the
81 100 he had paid for the machine.
Two weeks later he was several thous-
and dollars to the good and he sold
the merry go-round for 81 500.
