Fierce Battle Over Highway Commission Measure In the House
FIGHT FOR LIFE OF SENATE
INTRODUCED

FORCE ACTION ON MEAS
URE BY MAURY NOT SUC
Battle broke out anew over
the state highway commission
in the Montana house Tuesday
afternoon when Representative
Cady of Lincoln county attempt
ed to kill Senator Peterson's
measure which curtails the com
mission. After Representative
Davis of Wibaux had moved that
the Peterson bill be taken from
general orders and referred to
the committee on highways,
Cady motioned to table the meas
ure. His motion failed of pas
sage, 38 to 56. By a vote of 51
to 43 the motion of Davis was
carried and the bill now is in
the hands of the highways com
mittee. Consideration of the
Peterson bill brought forth plen
ty of hot argument on the floor
of the house. Maury of Silver
Bow declared there was no rea
son for referring the bill to the|
highways committee and said
that the move was merely an
effort to leave the highway com
mission as it is now constituted.
Cady asserted that the highways
committe had lost the bill through
the dynamiting of Maury and had
h.vor, forced to place it on general or
ders before any member of the com
mittee had time to read it. Scharni

to the effect that if the house killed

!
Bozeman's Bobcats, otherwise known as the Montana State col
lege basketball team, are today the heroes of the entire populace.
They have met the enemy, the Missoula Bruins, on their own floor,
for a second time, eaten of bear meat that tasted scLgood Friday
evening that they needs must have a second feast of the wild
flesh on Saturday night. So to make a perfect day or rather
two perfect days in the history of Bobcat accomplishments they
arrived home absolute masters of their ancient foes, champions
of the state, in the minds of* the Bozeman fans, with but two
more games to be played to make the claim undisputed.
When the news came over the wire last Saturday evening stat
ing that the Bobcats had trimmed the Bruins a second time for
a score of 25 to 19 demonstrations of joy. not only by the students
at home, but by the fans who are so loyally supporting the team,
i knew no bounds. There was unrestrained celebration of the vic
tories won by Coach "Doc" Jones' fast-working combination of
j basket shooters. The winning back, after two years of supremacy
I held by the University Bruins, over the state college Bobcats, was
j intensely enjoyed by the supporters of the team and the fact
that the bruins are now eliminated from championship possibili
ties added to the joy.

i
speed that far outstripped any of the!
planes handled by the men. They
brought their planes to the city after
the great trip over the prescribed
race course, landing almost simulta
ueously in Bozeman on Saturday.
The wonderful activity of the women
of the city who participated in the
race proved to be a big factor in the
results, they having brought in the
major portion of the memberships
