DONKEY BASKETBALL
SLATED FOR FRIDAY

While people of this community
have long been accustomed to see
ing fine basketball, both in the
season games and in the tourna-
ments, Friday night something
new awaits them: donkeys will
demonstrate how the game should
be played.
The donkeys will be momentar-
lily handicapped by riders, but they
will not permit this to stand in
their way of running up a big
score While neither team has a
national reputation for a fast
break, yet both are highly skilled
in the quick stop. The four-foot-
ed players will be equipped with
suitable rubber shoes. This, how
ever, will not be a handicap either
to speed or accuracy; they a
shoot both fore and aft.
The evening of fun will be at
the high school gymnasium Friday
evening, Jan. 81, at 8 p. m. 1t
is being sponsored by the Laurel
post of the American Legion, and
the proceeds will be used for de-
fraying the costs of the ensuing
Junior Legion baseball program.

Main street.
A first survey indicated that IS
mems wool shirts, six pairs of
trousers and possibly some other
items had been taken from the
dry cleaning plant and laundry.
c. G. Scott, proprietor, said
Wednesday. The loss was estimat-
ed at $3.50 or more.
After breaking a window in the
laboratory and entering, the burg
lars carefully chose the garments
they wanted. They took only those
that were in best condition and
were not interested in the ones
showing wear. They failed to find
urbanked cash and checks, but

Laurel Outlook and explained why
the headstone described in the Out

never placed in the cemetery. Even
SO years ago the memory OF an

Mrs. j. G. Parker of Custer

Letter Explains Why HeadstOne For Grave
In Pioneer Cemetery Was Never Placed There

the operation of the Spear-Mason
farm northeast of Laurel a good
many years ago. After selling the
farm he came to Laurel and was
in the coal business.
The cemetery, now named Pho
neer, was in use in 1882 or earlier
and served the area of the Yellow
stone valley in which the Park
City and Laurel communities are
now located. With the passage Of
the years the old burying place
was forgotten by the public, except
the remaining early resident. To
save it from extinction it was
recently decided to the Park City
Cemetery association by the state
of Montana.
F. R. Brown, one of those re-
sponsible for it's preservation, re-
ported early this week that he was
already the recipient of contribu-
tons to a fund for erecting a
marker on the historic site. He
and Ralph Story, Bert Mitchell,
John Corwin and j. L.. Keefer of
Park City were aided by B. l..
Price and G. w. Fenton of Laurel
in securing transfer Of title to the
land, surveying, enclosing and
seeding the tract. Any individual or
organization wishing to make con-
tributions may contact any of the
interested men. The amount need
ed is 5000 and probably will be
the last expense connected with the
project.

City Maintains Vigilance Over Water Supply;
Highway Traffic Reduced, Rail Movements
Slowed; Frost Line About -Four Feet Down

Bad as it has been the weather's
sharp edge was dulled a little the
past two weeks for Laurel people.
Favored as they were, compared
tc others east and west, they still
don't like it. The weather has
been as much news as the latest
Russian nuisance. 1t slowed the
traffic in Laurel stores, made trav-
ell fall off on the highways, and
created a lot of business for gar
ages willing to start cold-locked
automobiles and trucks. With
many family cars out of commits
sion, taxicabs have been in demand
for taking children to school and
adults to and from work.

sisted by the Northern Pacific and

cry as well as the city.
Crews from the railroad worked
.hree shifts every "a hours for a
week to keep the intake clear.

K|WAN|ANS SEE ALASKA.
ON TOUR VIA PICTURES

Kenneth Hageman took innum-
cradle color pictures of Alaska
during the years he was living in
the territory, a part of which he
showed by projection Wednesday
evening for the Kiwanians at their
weekly dinner meeting. His work
was such that he went everywhere
in Alaska and saw everything from
the southeastern tip to the Arctic
ocean,.
Beautiful wild flowers, he found,
grew in profusion and a riot of
color in the summers, fisheries
flourished and there was a great
variety of human activities. The
glaciers crept relentlessly down
ward to the Pacific from their
source in the high mountains.
When winter came he kept on TAX
ing pictures, sometimes of the
scenes he had caught in summer,
but what a change they showed!
To the Kiwanians and their guests
it seemed like a truly rugged,
unconquerable region.

TANS|L TELLS CLUB
OF TRIP TO EUROPE

There's a great contrast between
the people of England and the
people of France, and between the
supplies of food in the two coun-
tries, too, John B. Tansil of Bill
ings found out last spring and
summer when he and Mrs. Tansil
back-tracked on their ancestry
The ailment of which he suffered
could be cured best by an ocean
trip, the family doctor advised,
which brought on the vacation in
Europe for the local U. S. district
attorney. Tuesday the Laurel Ro-
tarians heard what Tansil had seen
and thought while abroad and how
things over there stack up with
those here.
He eschewed the route of the
statesman going from America to
Europe to study conditions. So
instead of making directly for Par
Is. where everyone is of course
happy, and to Monte Carlo and the
Riviera, where everyone is of
course well-to-do, he chose to take
his American car of the low-price
range and make a first-hand study
of people earning their living, rails
ing their families and carrying on
natural lives as much as their cir
and surroundings per
nit.
Thus it was he travelled the by
ways as well as the highways,
stopping at the pubs and the inns
in England and their equivalents
in France. Along the way were
things of history, of art, and
of people having lived a long time
in n place, all to be studied and
along with the pleasures
one might derive from casual so
cial contacts with the inhabitants
The English, he found, were cold
and standoffish; the French were
cordial and friendly. Food was
scarce, not very good and high,
priced in England, but plentiful
delicious and cheap in France.
Time had in both countries richly
nellowed the beauty of the a
,hedrals and the grand paintings
rom the centuries since long past.
The statesman having investi-
rated and reported on things at
he casino and in the night clubs
4 both high and low caste, Tansil

ects farther. There was, he found.
