Lay a couple or three strips of bacon across the top of the batter before closing the lid. The batter will ab sorb the bacon . . . Mmmm! Troubled with runs in your ny lons? There’s a spray on the mar ket'in a push-button, type can. It leaves an invisible coating on the stockings which reduces the runs. Left handed bowlers, golfers, pitchers, et cetera are in a class by themselves. Someone has fig ured out that only nine percent of us are left handed. The diamond is said to be the hardest mineral. What’s the soft est? The bureau of mines says it’s water. But if you ever took a belly flop from a diviqg board you might disagree. It can sting like a board. Dive into it head or feet first and you can plunge from ninety feet or more without harm. Wonder what the highest dive is? They have jumped from the Gold en Gate bridge at San Francisco and the Brooklyn bridge and lived. Some have died too. And one man survived going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Are we getting soft? A hundred years ago 50 to 55 degrees house temperature was considered right. When stoves made their appear ance 63 degrees was perfect. To day we keep the temperature at 72 for comfort. Try this when threading a needle. Dip the thread in colorless nail polish, wipe off the surplus and wait a moment. Then see how easily the end slips into the eye. Want to have fun with your wife?

Newspaper in Beaverhead County VOLUME 70 DILLON, MONTANA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1950 NO. 80 CHARLIE PRICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR COUNTY BEING GREATEST UNEXPLOITED FISH-GAME PARADISE THE WEATHER That big, free party Saturday f night at the city hall honoring Mr. and Mrs. Charley Price should attract friends from all over the county. It will start at 8 o'clock Tuesday - High 48, Low 22. Today - Low 21. Fair to partly cloudy. Not much change in temperature. Frank Miller of the Tribune staff is a satisfied bachelor. He recently bought a cozy little home with a big yard where he can have his own garden, both vege table and flowers. He likes to sit by his fireside evenings, reading and listening to the radio, For company he has a dog. Frank turns the dog into the spacious yard during the hours when he is at the Tribune. The last few days the dog has been having more fun than a barrel of monkeys with his master. The first day he had a hole in the fence ready to take off when Frank started to work. He waited until Frank had gone a couple of blocks and then came dashing after him with delighted barks. Frank took him back to the yard and plugged the hole. The next day the trick was repeated but the dog had added an extra hole Frank didn’t know about. .After plugging the hole again he got several blocks before his pooch came bounding toward him with sparkling eyes and wagging tail. Frank took him back and plugged the extra hole. The third morning Frank found two holes before starting and plugged them, think ing he had outwitted his dog. To his surprise his dog was waiting at the office. The canine had pre pared three holes that time. Now Frank pens him on the porch. and everybody and their grand mothers are invited. Barbecued moose will be served and there will be entertainment. The occa sion is to hondr a quarter of a century of game and wildlife service which Mr. and Mrs. Price concluded August 1st, when Mr. Price retired as game warden. The Fish and Game Commission has just issued its first book en titled \Sporting Montana.\ In it a tribute is paid to Mr. Price, part of which we will quote :- “Somewhere in Beaverhead County, by a good fishing hole, or a grassy clump under a towering pine tree there's a spot which Charlie Price has picked out as his own private sanctuary where he can sit and reminisce,” says the booklet. \In the summertime 25 years ago, Charlie began his long career as a deputy Game warden in Beaverhead county. Last August 1st, he retired, the oldest warden to contribute unbroken service to Montana’s department of fish and game. “The fields and forest of the Beaverhead were his back yard, its wildlife creatures his pets, and the mindful hunter, his friend. Everyone in the county, with few exceptions, knows Charlie. \Charlie has good reason to stress the importance of conserv ing wildlife. He can remember the days before a possession limit was set for*ducks. ‘That was a terrible waste and exploitation of ducks,’ he said, ‘when the hunters would go on a two-week hunt, and may be have 20 ducks apiece at the end of the first day.’ Sparse Game \In these years Beaverhead county had the alarmingly low number of 50 head of antelope left. In the Blacktail country, startling though it may seem, there were no elk at all. There was a lot to do in that territory but Charlie rolled up his sleeves and went to work. He was Beav erhead’s only game warden, and, fortunately, he had married a very able assistant. Mrs. Price has been his secretary and all-around aid. “The fisherman who thinks that the best fishing holes in many of Beaverhead’s lakes and streams have always been there has over estimated Mother Nature. Miles of these waters had never seen a fish until Charlie stocked them. Sometimes he had to pack in on- foot or horseback. In his quarter century of service, Charlie has stocked millions of fish to make the wilderness into the now heavi ly visited fisherman’s haven. \What a far-cry 1950 is from 1925. Pride is hardly the word to describe the .expression in , Char lie's eyes when he reports that Beaverhead now has 1,335 an telope, over 1,300 elk, and a good waterfowl and resident bird popu lation, not to mention the fish. No, pride isn't the word. Maybe -it’s merely the expression of satis faction over a job well done.” Dell Bureau Meets Friday The Dell Farm Bureau will meet Friday evening at 8:30 at the Dell Community hall. An interest ing program has been arranged with delegates to the state con vention making their reports and according to the announcement, a \Christmas partly planned.\ Pot luck lunch will be served. Shelf paper in rolls. Tribune. JACKSON TO HOLD TURKEY SHOOT NEXT SUNDAY Jackson will hold another of its popular turkey shoots Sunday, both trap and rifle. The V. F. W. Post No. 9040 and the Big Hole Gun club are sponsoring the event. They report having plenty of A-l turkeys. In case you want to make a week-end of it, there is the Log Haven Court or the Diamond Bar Inn ready to furnish the best of accomodations. Jackson is a good place to have fun and the attraction will draw many sportsmen from this part of the county. Turkey shoots have been popu lar since the days when Daniel Boone was a crack shot, with a muzzle loading\ rifle. Did you know there are still many devotees of the muzzle loaders? They hold tournaments that attract national attention. The muzzle loading fans are cranks with their guns. They are collectors, mould their own bullets and ram them down the barrel with greased patches, the same as in the olden days. They also carry their powder in horns. And there is another group of sportsmen who hunt with bows and arrows as in the days of the fictional Rtbin Hood. In Minne sota, Wisconsin and several other states, the deer hunting season is opened a few days earlier just for those enthusiasts. They get their meat too, including bears. But there won’t be any muzzle loading shooting at Jackson nor bow and arrow, but we have quite a group of small bore shooters who like to compete for turkeys in that manner. They will have their opportunity at Jackson Sunday. Also the scattergun boys can have their fun over the traps with tur keys for prizes.

JOE WHITE IS BACK IN CAR BUSINESS After a brief absence from the automotive busniess in Dillon, Joe White announces today that he is again selling cars, having been appointed dealer for Chrysler and Plymouth. Mr, White needs no introduction to Beaverhead county. He came here in 1941, taking over the Mon tana Auto Sales, and enjoyed a lucrative business. The Montana Auto Sales name by the way has been synonymous with excellent service and courte sy. It was a name made famous by Fred Woodside when he was in the automobile business and Mr. White carried on its fine reputa tion. Now that he is re-engaging in car sales he will continue using the name. Mr. White sold his car business in January of this year but kept the service station at the corner of Montana and Sebree streets. When he decided to go back into car sales h,e enlarged his quarters with a showroom and office. He also has a lubricating department and quarters for parts and service. During the remodeling he pur chased all new equipment and the latests tools produced by the fac tories. \My place is small but good, with the best of everything to High School Girls Model At Billings Mary Ellen Conover and Bobble Jeanne Gludici have placed in the \Make It Yourself With Wool” contest according to vyord received from Great Falls.

Many could see his Dad streak ing down the sidelines when Tom my made a long run for a touch down against Butte! Tommy was 18 that day, it being his birthday, and maybe he was giving his dad a birthday present. It was Tom my’s last game with Kalispell as he is a senior. Tommy came in for honors too, being named to the all state high school football team as fullback. Undoubtedly he will carry the Little name to greater glory in college if the Army doesn’t inter rupt his career.
