F
BOZEMAN, Mont., May 20. (AP
Montana cattlemen gathered here
today for their annual convention,
but the only person In full cowboy
regalia turned out to be a Chicago
salesman.
Many of the ranchers and cow
hands wore range land's ten-gallon
hats, but had nothing to compare
with the Chlcagoan unidentified by
name who squirmed uncomfortably
In high-heeled boots and sheepskin
jacket.
"Times have changed," opined
Teddy Blue, 77-year old rancher and
cowboy since his teens. "It looks
more like a gatherln' of a chamber
of commerce than hard rldln' boys
off the range,
"They used to come pounding down
the dirt streets raising a lot of dust
and racket, and they used to reel
along the board sidewalks back In
the days when they didn't get to
town but about twice a year,' re
reminisced.
SALEM, May 20. (AP) T. C.
Lorenz, Klamath Falla timber oper
ator, presented en offer to the state
land board Into today of $90,000 for
the purchase of 33,000.000 feet of

The timber land reverted back to
the land board when a bidder sev
eral years ago felled to complete his
contract.
Lorenz stated his company had
cut timber on the Indian reserva
tion and was In position to cut the
pine In the entire tract If the board
accepts the offer. He stated he did
not want the two million feet of
fir nor the 180,000 feet of cedar on
the property aa shown In the orulse,
stating It was of no - economical
value.
