Planning for the greatest celebra-
ton IN the history Of Montana-a tire
mendouS To-day spectacle in COM
memoration of the golden anniversary
Of statehood-an organizing committee
OF more than 500 persons, representing
as many organizations, met IN Butte
to launch preliminary work.
To head the gigantic, community
wide organization for the celebration
which win be staged in Butte early
next July the group unanimously
elected Mayor Charles A. Hauswirth
as its chairman. w. S. Thompson,
manager of the chamber Of commerce,
was chosen secretary and Charles Gal
lagher was named treasurer. All cleo
lions we're unanimous.
The enthusiastic meeting brought
out the fact that Butte has an oppor-
tunity to stage a really outstanding
celebration, drawing people from
throughout Montana and attracting a
large number Of tourists who will be
travelling to or from the worlds fairs
in New York and San Francisco.
Tentative plans call for the cele-
bration to open with the usual Fourth
of July festivities embracing series
Of paradeS, fireworks and various novel
events. and to be followed by the an
earth" a gigantic air show and
pageant with 1000 Butte people taking
part to unfold in beautiful tableaus the
thrilling historical account Of Mon
tana.
Those will be the main attractions
of the To-day celebration but various
other features are being contemplated,
including establishment Of a museum
to show many interesting relics from
the territorial days Of Montana and
a special lighting effect to produce a
huge American flag in the heart OF
the city.
Mayor Hauswlrth and Mr.. Thomp-
son, who we're in charge OF the meet
ing. explained the tentative plans
which have been mapped and called
for t--I EXPRESSIONS of opinion. Mr.. Haus-
with pointed out that during 1899
Montana will observe its 50th year of
statehood and Butte will celebrate the
18th anniversary of the discovery OF
gold in that region, making the year
which also will see worlds fairs on
both coasts of the nation-an ideal
one for staging a celebration.
THE celebration is to give people
an opportunity to thoroughly enjoy
themselves and to give the knowledge
that Butte has contributed with an
said. Butte people can put it on as
well as anybody in the world, and 1t
will be a real show. This is an oppor-
tunity to bring our factions a little
closer together. We all are entitled to
our views on politics and other things (
but we can afford to lay aside preJu-
dices for community patriotism ana
community welfare.
I'VE can all get together without
discord and we can unite for real

OVER 500 DEER SLAIN IN
LEWIS AND CLARK FOREST

The deer kill In the Rocky noun
tain section of the Lewis and Clark
national forest, roughly embracing the
area between the town Of Wolf Greek
and the lake formed by the Gibson
dam, has been much heavier this year
than was anticipated. according 10 Of
ficials Of the Lewis and Clark national
forest.
Up to the close Of the season. sO7
deer had been checked out at the
Augusta station, and 1t Is believed that
deer killed by other hunters will bring
the total number for the area to be-
tween 500 and 600.
It is explained that there Is no
checking station on roads leading from
the Dearborn river district to Helena.
and this area has a heavy deer popu-
lation and has been much frequented
by hunters. OF those who hunted In
the Dearborn section, 1t is believed
that many drove out with their animals
without checking in at the Augusta
station.
Diamonds have a grain like wood,
and large stones are divided into
smaller ones by experts, who study the
cleavage of the stone, and, by q Light
blow, are able to cause the gem to fan
apart.

the board The weight limits are the
same as were in effect last year.
The board ruled that the trapping Of
muSkrat during the open trapping sea-
son on the lakes in question would be
permitted only on open waters and the
use of boxes placed over soup houses"
and the taking of the animals through
the ice in that manner is prohibited.

IN CHRISTOPHER CONTROL

Senator Nye, North Dakota, predicts
that congress will make sweeping
changes in the present federal program
for grasshopper control.
The North Dakota senator said he
had heard numerous, protests through
out agricultural areas against use Of
poison bait.
"Some farmers question its effec-
tiveness," Nye said. '"They point out
that the bait Is used only on the crop
lands while grasshoppers are produced
on much untitled land and move from
there onto the crops"
Asked about possible substitutes for
poison bait on which the government
had expended several million dollars
in recent years, Nye said some farmers
favored extension of wildlife, pleas
ants and other game birds"
The senator said these birds did
little crop damage and actually con-
trolled the plant-eating insect hordes.
zone of the bad features Of use Of
poison bait for grasshoppers is that 1t
has killed off birds and other natural
enemies Of hoppers in areas" he said.

BOB SMITH GETS
 HIS FULL RELEASE

Boston, Jan. 8-(UP)-Veteran Bob Smith, 39-year-old Boston Bees pitcher and coach has been given his unconditional release, according to announcement by President Bob Quinn.
 Having received waivers on Smith from both Major Leagues last sea- son, Quinn said he had tried to get the aging right-hander a job as manager in some class double-A league, but was unsuccessful. There is possibility Smith may join his old manager, Bill McKechnie, now pilot of the Cincinnati Reds, who has an open position on his coach- ing staff.
 Last of the old Boston Braves, Smith last year pitched only A in- nings, for a record of one loss, no victories. He entered the big leagues as an infielder with the Braves in 1923 and later saw action with the Chicago Cubs and Cincin- natl Reds.

 Determined Search
 It was the most determined search ever undertaken along these shores Already, ships and planes had secuted more than 50,OOO miles of ocean area without a trace of its lost "T-P-4," a seaboat that could have landed on water and ridden the waves for weeks.
 Naval authorities were not ready to abandon hope. They said the search would continue into next week if necessary. They recalled the disappearance of Commander John Rodgers in 8 seaplane while on flight to Hawaii 13 years ago, and how Rodgers was found safely adrift in his seaplane after nine days. His plane was far less seaworthy than the bomber missing now.
 Those On Board
 Those aboard were: Lieut.. Tru- man E. Carpenter, Possumpsic, Vt.; Cadet Philip O. Browning, Lees Summit. Mo; Edgar Anglin, Nor folk, Va; c. c. Creech, Richlanc N.
