CATTLE PRICES HIT
HIGH MARK AT SHELBY

The Shelby stockyards hit a
triple high, in prices, buyers, and
cattle at the regular sale October
31st.
From the very start of the sale
1t was obvious that the market
was up on all classes of cattle
The emphasis as always was nat.
urally on the top quality cattle.
Calves and especially good
steer calves led the market with
one load going for S18.4O. These
calves averaged about 457 pounds.
Heifer calves topped at $500 and
averaged over S14OO.
The market on all classes of
calves averaged over $3.50 for
the entire sale. Top cows topped
at S14.00 with an average around
$12.50. Thousand-pound steers hit
$16.60 and averaged up around
$16.CO. Eight and nine hundred
pound heifers topped at $3.50
and averaged nearly $14.OO. Bulls
topped at SLIGO and averaged ov-
er $1,000. Gamers and cutters
were pushing the 5000 mark. The
quality of cattle offered Was high
which was reflected in the pri-
ces and some of the most active
bidding in any sale SO far.
With the results of this sale and
also the last calf and feeder sale
the boys at the yard are getting
ready for an even larger and bet
ter calf and feeder sale which
will be held Wednesday, Novem-
Der 4th. Sellers are urged to no.
tify the yard as soon as possible
of their consignments for this
sale Wednesday. Following the
special sale on Wednesday the
next regular sale will be on Sat
urday, November 7th.

EDUCATION WEEK
! BEING OBSERVED

American Education Week has
peen observed annually since 1921
when it was established by Joint
action of the N.E.A. and the Am
erlcan Legion. Its purpose is to
inform the public of the accomp.
llshments and needs of the public
schools and to secure the cooper
alton and support of the public in
meeting the needs of our schools,
Browning Public Schools will
observe Education Week, Nov. 8
to the 14th and parents are in.
vited to visit their schools. Too
many people take their schools
for granted; they assume that
schools more or less run them.
selves. Just one visit to the public
schools will not give a parent a
clear slant on all the problems
that the schools of America face,
but it should acquaint the con.
cerned parent with the import.
ance of having the citizens take
an active interest in the vital
problems of adequate education.
How many parents personally
know the teachers who work
completely for the welfare of the
students? How many concern
themselves with the increasing
problems and needs of our
schools?
Next week offers an excellent
chance to learn just how you can
help your schools give your child
rem the best education possible.
In the last analysis the parents
determine the kind of education
their children will get.
On Thursday Browning Ele-
mentary School will serve re-
freshment in the home econom-
les room to visiting parents.

ROCKY MT. INN VICTIM

Canadian Lynx
Big Attraction

One of the largest Canadian
lynx taken in this area in many
years was shot on Saturday of
last week by William Palmer of
Cut Bank, just off the highway
east of Summit.
Mr.. Palmer was with hunting
party when the large "cat" cross
ed the road and stopped in the
brush just off the road. He kill
ed the animal with a shot gun,
and was justly proud of his prize.
He brought the animal back to
the Robert SERVER taxidermist
shop here to have it mounted,
and it is being made up into an
excellent specimen.
The Canadian lynx is a rather
rare specimen, and this one is the
first taken in this locality in the
past ten years, it is stated. The
Canadian lynx is a specie of the
"cat" family, slightly larger than
the ordinary Bob" cat, or the
commonly called wild cat" It is
about the size of the average
cocker spaniel dog, and is a pow.
erfully built animal, with large
front feet and long, strong claws.
They prey mostly on small ami
mails in the woods, and will kill
young deer. They are not parti-
cularly ferocious, but are one of
the most cunning animals in the
woods, and are ordinarily diff
cult to find, as their color blends
with the timber environment, and
when in hiding are almost i'm
possible to find.
In addition to the "cat" speci-
men, Mr.. SERVER is busy with nu-
merous other heads and full siz-
ed wild life animals that are be-
ing brought in for mounting by
hunters from far and wide. He
received this week a freak ante
lope head, brought here by hun
ter, a Mr.. John Town, from NAL
ia, for mounting. The antelope
has an entirely different set of
horns from the usual specimen,
being much heavier, and not
pronged, and sticking almost
straight out from the head. The
horns are not only heavier than
the usual antelope prongs, but
are heavy and dark colored.
Many specimens of elk, deer
and other wildlife animals are in
the process of being mounted at
the SERVER shop.
Good taxidermists are not nu-
merous in Montana, the only
shops in the northwest part of the
state being at Great Falls, White
fish and Browning.
Mr.. SERVER has built up wide
reputation for doing first class
work, and draws business from a
wide area. He maintains a studio
and shop on the highway in the
west edge of town, just east of
the Plains Indian museum, and
in the summer time enjoys
brisk business with the tourist
trade. He carries an attractive
line of souvenirs and makes fire.

CATTLE SHIPMENTS INCREASE IN
GLACIER COUNTY FOR THIS YEAR

This is the season of heavy
stock shipments to the large and
smaller livestock terminals and
packing plants, also to feeder
pens, east and west.
Figures secured from Great
Northern sources show a conSid-
cradle increase from the Brown
ing station over 1852, with less
err shipments from Blackfoot and
Cut Bank. But the total is larger
than in the previous year.
From Browning $50 carloads
were shipped out in 1852. and this
year the shipments total ABS cars
From Blackfoot, 1852 total was
1856 cars and SO far this fall, 1868
cars. Cut Bank was the smallest
shipping point this year. Last
year SO cars went out from there,

The sheriff's office reports
that around 1858 head went out
from this end of the county by
truck, mostly to Great Falls, Shell,

One of the amazing things
about this system of marketing
cattle is that Otto Skogen had
a place to go with any kind of a
critter brought in. Fancy steer
calves went to Iowa feed lots or
to the Butte market to be reSold
or reconsigned. Heifers from
these lots were used to fill or
ders for requirements in breed
ing herds while bologna bulls and
cutter COWS went to the packers.
There was no load too big or too
small to be handled and cash was
paid for every purchase.

HALLOWEEN cELEBRANTS
NOT TOO ROUGH HERE

Halloween celebrants were not
too rough in their antics in
Browning this year, which, it is
stated, is somewhat different
from performances in other
years.
The small fry were out in full
force early in the evening with
their masks and costumes, and
their sacks to receive the expect
ed gifts in response to their
Trick or Treat" greetings. A few
windows were "soaped" which
was to be expected, but there was
little disposition on the part of
the teen-agers to destroy proper
ty. A huge road block" was
thrown across the main street
leading uptown from the high.
way, and minor moving of wag-
one, outbuildings, ETC., occurred
during the evening, but there was
no indication of any malicious de-
struction of property, either pri-
vate or public, which was much
appreciated by the property own
,erS.
The public party for the young
sters at the school building,
which had been planned earlier
in the week, did not materialize,
as most of the teachers and
school people were in Great Falls
for the District Education meet
ing, and it was impossible to mus
ter sufficient force to supervise
the party.

LOCAL CATTLE SALES PROVING
POPULAR IN STATE this FALL

Cattle shipments are the chief
topic of interest in this area in
the fall of the year, and every
sale or show draws many inter-
ested cattlemen. Something new
in marketing methods is noted
this fall, as shown in the follow
ing article written recently by the
state livestock analyst for the Ex-
tension department.:
Last Saturday was marketing
day for the livestock men of the
Pendroy and Dupuyer communi-
ties. More than TOO cattle, enough
to fill 20 cars, were gathered from
the range, loaded in trucks, haul
ed to Pendroy, sorted, graded, in
spected and shipped to market.
Pendroy is a small village in
north central Montana. 1t con-
tains store, bar, service sta
ton and three grain elevators. 1t
is the last railroad stop on the
Great Northern's branch line out
of Great Falls and on days like
last Saturday it is the hub of a
tremendous business activity and
the center of big marketing OPP
erations.
Here was a country cattle buy
er in the height of his glory. OF
to Skogen and his son, Johnny,
buy thousands of cattle at various
ranches from stockmen through
out Montana every year. Visits
10 ranches in this area during the
summer and fall resulted in deals
to purchase cattle and have them
delivered OH a certain date. Sat
urday was the date and trucks
from every direction converged
on this small town bringing in
for shipment cattle which had
been purchased. At one time
there was line of Is trucks wait
ing to be unloaded and the fenc-
es at the stockyards were lined
with cattlemen watching the un-
loading and sorting and waiting
their turn. Much visiting among
neighbors took place as groups

from the county this fall than
last. In 1852 the total was 704
and in 1858 so far the total is
1913 cars.
OF course it must be realized
that many shipments, especially
from Browning and Blackfoot, do
not represent sales. Washington
and Oregon stockmen make
spring shipments of sheep for
summer range on the reservation
and ship them back in the fall
for winter range and feeding in
warmer climate.

Indians Ponder
LiquorProblern

At a special meeting of the
Blackfeet tribe, to be held at the
Tribal council offices on Thurs
day afternoon of this week, No.
yember 5th, it will be definitely
decided whether the question of
legalized sale of liquor on this
reservation will be decided by the
Council, or a popular vote of all
eligible Indians participating in
the decision.
After the question of who is to
make the final decision, arrange
menst will be made for putting
the decision into effect. If the
Tribal Council only is to decide,
the necessary ordinances, either
for or against the sale of liquor,
will be drawn up and after due
notice, will go into effect. In that
event only members of the coun-
Gil will have a vote, either for
or against the legalizing of sale
of liquor on the reservation, and
regulations will be prescribed.
But if the decision is to put the
question up to a popular vote,

the right to vote. steps will be
taken for calling the special cleo

announced in time to give all in

was willing to make a guess as
to the outcome of the Thursday
meeting. If the decision is made
early enough Thursday afternoon
the results will be included in
this article. If the meeting is
dragged out beyond press time,
the results will be announced in
