Five of the promising young Car

But Southworth surveyed the
situation again and found that ap-
parently not one Of his key men
was likely to be called. Most Of
the players are married and have
children or other dependents. This
group includes Howard Pollet. Ernie
White, Morton and Walker Cooper,
Johnny Hopp, Stanley Musial and

youngsters whose ages range be-

Frank Crespi has dependents.
George (Whitey) Kurowski and Ray

job, have physical defects, and Max
Surkout. another rookie whose fast
ball Southworth compares to Bobby
Feller's, will not be 20 years old till
next June.
AS a result the only man on the
entire St. Louis squad who South
worth could not say authoritatively
had reason for deferment was
rookie outflelder, Erwin Dusak.
Southworth also was hopeful that
the Cardinals would not have a
recurrence of the plague of injuries
that helped bump them out of the

"Beef Straight" Era in Montana Was
Tough One; Flour Sold for $11O Sack

emisSaries were on their way. armed
and equipped with popular authority
to seize and confiscate all flour, re-
gardless Of quantity or ownership. up
on the payment therefor Of $50 per
sack for st. Louis flour. or $27 per
sack for the Salt Lake article.
The edict was carried into effect
the next day, and was attended with
very little disturbance-in fact. not
anything worth mentloning-nearly
everybody interested acquiescing quiet
~ in the verdict Of the people as
expressed in the public meetings at
Nevada and Virginia City
Only One Controversy
Only one serious controversy arose.
This came from the fact that James
Gormley of Nevada. had at great ex-
pense. succeeded in getting 40 sacks Of
flour across the snowy divide by means
of pack animals. one Of which had
been lost in making the trip
When the committee offered Corn
ley SGT per sack for his flour, he in
dignantly spurned. and exhibited his
expense accounts, showing that in first
cost and transportation the flour had
been an expense to him Of s43 per
sack. He told the committee they
could take it for $45 per sack. but
for no less unless they took it out
Of the store over his dead body. They
finally recognized the justice Of his
claim and paid the price.
On April 10 the flour was distributed
among the populace allowing each
man 10 pounds. and 5 pounds add
tional for each additional member OF
the family The rate was q cents per
pound for Salt Lake flour and 80
cents for the St. Louis flour.
II there was no open defiance Of
the work of the committee. there we're
not lacking attempts TO outwit the
leaders in the work OF securing flour
for distribution, and all sorts Of hid
ing places for the coveted treasure
were brought into play. Cellars, out
buildings haystacks, holes in the
ground and other out-of-the-way
places were utilized. In this manner
scores Of sacks Of flour escaped the
scrutiny Of the collectors.
At the time of the flour famine M.
H. and John s. Lott, the latter then
territorial auditor, were running a
general mercantile business at Nevada.
They had secured about 20 sacks OF
flour and NJ II. Lott went down TO
the Sinking Water valley with a team
to haul it TO town.
While he was away, the meetings
were held and the searching parties
visited all places In Nevada supposed
TO contain flour. John Lott managed
e. 81 ~ IA
what was going on and the latter was
perplexed as to how TO act. To go
direct home meant the confiScation
OF his load, while to turn back was
equally hazardous. SO he made a de-
tour through the foothills, trusting to
luck to aid him In getting his load
home in the darkness.
The hills were then covered with
