this district. There has been some
„ changes in redistricting the state for
the annual high school basketball
championship, and Belt is included in
the North Central district, taking in
, 17 high schools eligible for play. This
district includes besides Belt, Great
Falls. Harlem, Chinook, Big Sandy,
Fort Benton, Havre, Sand Coulee, Cas
cade, Augusta, Choteau, Conrad, Va
* lier, Shelby, Cutbank, Inverness and
Chester.
Instead of having eight districts in
the state as formerly, there are now
nine districts. Sixteen teams will be
invited to the state tournament at
Bozeman, March 8-11. Where a satis-j
factory district tournament is held the
tournament winner will in each case
be invited to the state tournament.
W inn i ng of s ec o n d place will not aa

tournament, as the seven teams that
are not district winners to go to Boze

The number of games that Belt will
compete in during the district tour
nament will be largely governed by the 1
support of the public. It will be seen
• that the expense will be rather heavy
for those teams located on the edges
of the district, as Belt is now placed,
A game between Belt and Chinook, for I
instance, would be a rather expensive

Arctic weather of the oast
ldeaJ Arctic weather of the past
week possesses some disagreeable fea
tures to those whose occupations com->
P*1 them to face it, but a realization
0 f future benefit to the agricultural
interests lends cheerfulness to
1 everyone, regardless of present dis
comforts. The farmers themselves
probably get more real hardships due
to cold and storm than those of other
occupations, but knowing that there is
I more moisture in the soil at" the 'pres'
en t time than has been the case for
They feel assured of ample moisture 1

A lack of orders m moat of the coal ■
minea of the district has resulted in
considerable enforced idleness among
t the miners for the past two weeks,
with a rather poor outlook for resump
jtion before Christmas or New Years,
The G. W. Merkte mine operated two
days the present week, while the Bro
j die mine got in three days since last
1 Friday and may possibly get in one or
„two mote this week. -«~
Simitar conditions prevail in practi
; cally all the mines of this district and
j in the county. At the smaller mines
handling commercial coal exclusively,
t ,
i (-b a t
the continued cold weather will prob
ably deplete «locks of jobbers and
householders and orders are not im
probable for steadier work by next
week.
The coal mines which are handling
the supply for the railroads expect
that immediately after the holidays
there will be o/ders to keep them in
operation for at least three months
steadily. The expectations are based
on the plans of the railroads made
public last week, which include the
storing of a big tonnage over all the
western roads. Theae storage plans
are said to call for a million and a
half tons of Montana coal alone. The
general impression that there will be
arr early resumption of the copper
mines and smelters is g source of
hopefulneaa also among the coal oper- ■
iVlors and miners, -
