Y. NJ. C. A. NOTES.
Chas. E. Harris, for some time
past physical instructor of the as
sociation, has gone to Baltimore,
where he will pursue course at the
medical college. He has been
fortunate enough to secure a scholar
ship there.
Willard Shattuck has been engaged
as janitor for the Y. M. c. A. rooms
and Music Hall.
Mrs. L. P. Wood has generously
donated to the associa ton library
21 bound volumes of Scribner's
Magazine. This will make a very
appreciable addition to the facilities
at the reading room.
Last Sunday afternoons meeting
was attended by SO men, and ad-
dresses were made by Carl Peterson
and Secretary Lewis. :.
A very delightful reception was
given at the association rooms on
Friday evening last, by the Wom-
ans Auxiliary, by way of a welcome
to the new secretary and the incom-
ing Academy students. The rooms
were prettily trimmed, and during
the entire evening were thronged
with young men. Rev. c. NJ. Lam
son spoke few words of welcome
to Mr.. Lewis and the students, in
behalf of the auxiliary and the vii
lage churches, and the secretary re-
sponded briefly, expressing gratitude
for the cordial reception given him.
During the evening Mrs. F. D. Buck
lev read THE Alarm Bell much to
the gratihca tion of her audience
Mrs. ]. H. Humphrey sang and Mrs.
H. A. Stanley gave piano solo.
The affair was social success, and
cannot fail of proving helpful along
the special lines on which the Y NJ
c. A. operates.

CT Falls Leader: The growth OF
the city of Great Falls has been phe-
nomenal. No other town in the
northwest or in the whole country
has had such a steady but remarka-
BILE increase in wealth, buildings and
population. The years roll by, the
summing up takes place and every
one is astonlshed at the increase. In
1887, it is remembered, it was pro-
claimed loudly in Helena that the
section, 10Y Cascade county had on
ly a half a million assessed valuation
and could not support a county.
Five years pass away and the half
million has become thirteen millions
in cascade county and seven or eight
millions in Great Falls alone. Cas-
cade county, n of the smallest, the
smallest with one exception, of the
counties in the state and the young
est county now stands third in
wealth and population.

PRESS COMMENT.

Philipsburg Mail: 1t may be news
to many that the labor employed in
the actual production of the
precious metals is extremely
we'll paid and very product
ive-better paid and more product
i've, in fact, than any of the other in
dustries of the country. There are
employed in the gold and silver
mines of the United States o7,3O7
men. The census statistics show
that the average earnings of these
men we're s720 per year, while the
average output per man amounted
to s1732 a year. In the granite
quarrying industry the average out
put per person in 1899 was s64S and
the average wages per annum s43l.
In coal mining west of the Mississip-
pi river, the average output per man
employed was s67o and average
earned $474. If miners and labor
ers under ground are classed togeth-
er as all classes of work above
ground are, the average wages earn
ed underground would be s3.O4 per
day as compared with SOL above
ground. Taking the whole United
States, the average wages paid in
precious metal mining are for surface
foremen, $4.O4; mechanics, 1857;
laborers, s2.51; below ground: fore
men, s4.16; miners, s3.12; laborers,
s2.46. The averages are brought
down by low prices paid in Southern
States. The highest wages are paid
in Alaska, Nevada, Idaho and Mon
tana.
