The president of the national federa- tion, Mrs. Pennypacker of Texas, was present throughout the en- tire session and was the most prominent speaker. Much credit was given the rural clubs which have done efficient work the past year. The Mineral County Woman's club was organized early last fall with Miss Edwards as secretary, and although the meetings have been irregular and not well attended at times, the organization still exists and is planning on more aiiive work the coming year.

Mr. Hughes represented five per cent of the stockholders of the com- pany in a demand that the treas- urer be fined for failing to furnish a sworn statement as required by law, the defendant having furnished a statement but neglecting to append the re- quired oath thereto. A change of venue was taken by Mr. Dunn, through his attorneys, and the case was set forf hearing before • Forest Ranker Phillips, to- gether with Fire Guards Stewart, Wilkinson and Hale, returned from the Clearwacer summit where they have been for the past week reinforcing and in some places rebuilding the Cedar Creek pack trail, which is very dangt roue near the summit.

RELAY AUTOS BEAT SCHEDULE SEVERAL HOURS GOOD Taxpayers' League old Protest Meeti on This Dale. ---- Tuesday i June 15, 'Good Roads Day,\as designated by the proc- lam ion of the governor of the s te of Montana. the day all good citizens are requested to de- vote their time and energies to the upbuilding and maintenance of the roads. This holiday was cthsprved in Mineral by the Tax- payers' league, making it a day of protest against the men who are bending their best energies toward making the roads of this county passable. Did any of these men attempt to fulfill either the letter or the spirit of the governor's procla- mation b3? doing something to improve the condition of our roads? Oh my, yes! They passed a resolution \compliment- ing tha county commisaionoro on their grand efforts for work done in regard to having the county surveyor map out the public highways.\ This, of course, was intended to be a bit of sarcasm, the commissioners believing that the removal of hills, stumps, rocks and holes from the public highways to be of greater im- portance than a map bhowing where these bumps and stumps are located. Seemingly, the idea of the league is to spend our money for maps and grand juries instead of giving it to the labor- ing men who will work on the roads. In the language of one of this noble- band, \We don't want no automobile roads here, nohow.\ SHEEP MOVED WESTWARD AS EAST BECOMES SETTLED Thousands of Acres of Forest Reserve Make Continuance of This Industry Possible. A Few Die From Eating Poisonous Weed, But Occurance Is Very Uncommon. TO CHICAGO MARKET The influx of thousands of sheep into the extreme western part of Montana from Oregon and Washington for the purpose of grazing upon the fprest re- serves has solved one - of the sheep raising problems of the state. Tai th th Lpit;ty wi e former grazing grounds have been taken up in the eastern part of the state for agricultural pur- poses in the past few years has forced this industry to move, or, in many instances, to be aban- doned altogether; but by utilizing the thousands of acres of forest reserve in this portion of the, state, where the winters are not severe, should make the sheep 1.11:i0;l1C00 ao elsewhere. F. C. Braack, representing Kohler & Co., and in charge of the 5.000 sheep recently shipped in here from Shaniko, Oregon, speaks in the highest terms of these grazing grounds, having been in this vicinity for the past two years—one year in the Bitter Root mountains, near Taft, and one year in the St. Joe country. C',;;:nparatlycly .1,.,., been lost by coyotes or other wild animals, Mr. Draack states, and at the recent unloading only fifteen died—this from eating a poisonous weed, which he also said was not a common occur- ance. A similar shipment fromEllens- burg, Washington, to Warland in Lincoln county has not been as fortunate, several hundred hay- rii s t dicsi frcrr. cating t.11'.2 Can . ..pal. and Lupine grass prevalent on the low lands in that locality. The Kohjer & Co.'s band of sheep will be shipped to the Chi- cago market in the fall. • • • 97 Hours and Nine -Min- utes From Chicago to Seattle, a Distance of 2,439 Miles Over the flowstone Trail. - MESSAGE BEARERS ESTABLISH RECORD The official party, bearing a let- ter from Mayor Thompson of Chi- cago to Mayor Gill of Seattle, crossed the mountains without mishap and attiv,,d in Seattle at 11:09 Saturday 'morning, making the total time from Chicago to Seattle, a distance of 2,439 miles over the Yellowstone trail in 97 hours and nine minutes, just two hours and 51 minutes under the schedule of 100 hours. Continuous Running The first car left Chicago at noon on June 15, starting one of the greatest automobile feats ever at- tempted in this country. The trip was made by relays divided into approximately 100 miles each, the cars running continuously both day and night. Beckon WkI . Each run- waa made - without serious mishap. On the seventeenth lap of the journey, between Mis- soula and Wallace, the official cat, with Walter Beck driving, was forced to stop on account of a broken wheel a shortolistance west of Missoula. The letter was de- livered into the hands of Tom Thibodeau of Missoula, who was trailing in a Reo. Thibodeau car- ried the letter on to Wallace, ar- riving there two hours and eleven minutes ahead of the schedule. Beck Makes, Speed Beck was forced to wait fifty-five minutes for a new wheel, which was rushed to the scene from Mis- soula. Immediately upon receiv- ing and adjusting it he completed the run, arriving in Wallace twenty- five minutes behind Thibodeau. Percy Stone of Missoula made the trip with Thibodeau, while Beck was accompanied by Ralph Stiff and Howard Schroeder. Record Time Through Mineral The tip through Mineral county was made in good time and with- out mishap, which demonstrates the recent road improvements. A year ago this record would have been practically impossible. This run has established this route for the Yellowstone trail and Mineral county will see thousands of auto- mobiles pass through this season, bringing tourists and sightseers who will liberally patronize all local concerns enroute.
