AS TO CONVICT LABOR.

1t is quite EVIDENT that the state
prison board does not intend to clash
with union labor in it's plan to en-
plOy convicts on state work. Repre-
sentatives of trades and labor unions
conferred with the members of the
prison board at Helena and the mat
ter of convict labor was discussed in
an intelligent way, thoroughly, with
results generally. The union dele
gates expressed themselves in way
indicative of satisfaction that the
members of the board desired to do
the right thing in the matter. The
board has submitted it's plan to union
labor and gives it's views in a digni-
fled and apparently fair way 1t is
the purpose of the state to employ
convict labor on state work. not to
employ 1t where 1t can possibly come
into competition with union labor.
mage highways, on buildings used eX-
clusively by the state, in the manu-
facture of articles to be used eXclu-
sively by the state and perhaps III
factory for the manufacture of
binding sacks and twine.
TO the average person it appears
that the convicts should be employed.
The law provides that they serve
time at hard labor. Ever since the
establishment of the penal institution
in Montana convicts have been denied
the privilege of exercising at hard
work, excepting the few who built
the penitentiary walls and anneXes
Humanity demands that convicts be
put to work wherever and whenever
possible. No fair-minded person
thinks for a minute that it would be
a good thing for Montana to put the
prisoners at work competing with
union labor The fact is, there is
much that ought to be done which
cannot be done with free labor for the
reason that there is no money avail
able for the work. Particularly bene-
ficial to the state would be better
roads and the counties, because of
lack of funds, cannot build all the
roads that present needs demand.
1t is believed that union labor and
the state will meet on the high
grounds of fairness and come to a
conclusion regarding the
important matter of convict labor

BUTTE AND EMERGENCY TEAM
TOLL THR0UH DROLL CONTESTS

In the SmOke-wrapped ball park
last evening, the Hammond ball team,
or part of it, sacked the second game
with the NJ. j. Bs. Of Butte by the score
of Is to 3. The contest was a good
bit of a travesty on the great national
pastime, and dragged to its slow end
to the accompaniment of manifold
sighs on the part of the audience
Wilcox, the slim slabman who held
the locals to three hits Sunday, was
dubbed off the hill in the seventh. His
place was taken by Beaton, a dimin-
utive south-paw, who perhaps doesn't
pretend to be a pitcher A diverting
feature of the game occurred in the
fifth, when, with one gone, Marx eX-
ecuted what was believed to be a
double, and the locals started to the
bench, while Whiteman started to COM
plete the circuit, giving rise to bare
handed stunt between Gertz and Marx.
After a lengthy parley the game was
resumed and Butte scored two

eral jabs in the error column, moth
ing was accomplished before the third.
McQuaid singled. Richmeyer sacri-
ficed and Williams hit for three bases,
scoring Mac. Snyder singled, scoring
the tWO-day captain. Rafferty, went to
first on pass, but Gertz breezed and
Gebeau was thrown out at first, re-
firing the side
Clever base stealing by McQuaid in
the fourth netted another run. He
went to first on a single and stole sec
ond on Nelson. While Rich struck
the shortstop purloined the third sta
ton, throwing a cloud of dust on
Schoen as he slid in. Rich flew to
center field, and McQuaid beat the
ball home. Williams was safe at sec
ond on an overthrow by Hogan and
stole third. Snyder was passed, and
while he threatened the second sta
tion keeper, forcing Nelson to peg,
Williams registered on a wild throw
to the plate.
Three successive errors by Rafferty,
placed Wilcox, Nelson and Whiteman
on bases in Butte's half of the fifth.
Beaton then singled, bringing Wilcox
home. Here was inserted the fluke
double by Marx, an amusing bare
handed comedy and general Grabbing.
With the game renewed Schoen hit for
two bases, Nelson and Whiteman,
making the visitors full count.
In the sixth, after McQuaid famed,
Rich and Williams singled. With Rich
on third Snyder skied to left field,
scoring Croesus. Rafferty, then
brought Williams and Marx over the
plate. Singles by Gertz and Gebeau,

ter was resumed. McQuaid singled
and beat his way to third. Rich hit
safely and McQuaid scored when Butte
was unable to catch Williams pop
up. A single by Marx then brought
Rich and Old Eli over the plate.
Beaton relieved Wilcox, Buttes all
star man, in the eighth. Gebeau went
to second on bobble McElroy, who
went in for Blakeslee, was hit by
pitched ball McQuaid singled, scor-
ing Gebeau. Then Richmeyer hit one
to the fence, making three cushions
and pushing McElroy and the short
stop over the rubber. Here there were
NJ outs and the prospect for night
session was good. A short fly by Sny-
der brought Croesus home and then
the side was retired amid the sighs
of a much-enduring crowd

CHOKING PAIL Of SMOKE
WRAPS VALLEY IN DARKNESS
Forest Fires Obscure Sun, While Ashes
Fall in Binding Rain---Fire Zone
Embraces Whole Northwest
Wallace, Ida., Burned

A choking pail of smoke from for
est fires has wrapped the valley in
semi-darkness.
The most destructive and extensive
chain of fires ever known is raging
throughout the northwest
Fires are burning on Lost Horse and
Fred Burr canyons, subjecting the
valley to a cross-fire of smoke and
falling ashes.
A new fire broke out on Canyon
creek Sunday and IA men, under For
est Ranger See, left Hamilton yester-
day with camping supplies to combat
it.
All day yesterday and Sunday a
binding rain of ashes fell in Hamil-
ton and throughout the valley The
air was so charged with fine incin-
Grated particles that vision was next
to impossible.
At 4;30 Sunday afternoon darkness
had settled so thickly that lights were
turned on in residences in Hamilton,
and long before sundown the street
lights were struggling dimly through
the haze.
The afternoon sun was totally OBJ
scured. Under the peculiar atmos-
pheric conditions objects appeared in
an unnatural yellow glare. At night
the sky glOwed red with the reflec-
ton of the Titanic flames surging
through the forest Businesses.
Wallace Is Helpless Prey.
Wallace, Idaho, set in a cup-shaped
canyon from which great forests re-
treated, was a helpless prey of the
flames. Property losses aggregating
$1,000,000 were inflicted, though the
whole town, as at first rumored, was
not destroyed. At least four lives
were lost among the residents, while
"a fire fighters met death and 25 more
were injured. The city was saved
from complete destruction by heroic
battle with the flames carried on by
the city fire department, the Twenty
fifth colored infantry and the forest
service employees. The fires still rage
on the hills about the desolated city.
Throughout the fire belt, which en-
braces the forests Of Idaho, western
Montana and eastern Washington,
many fatalities are known to have oc-
Cured, but up to last night no veri-
fled list of them was available.

Burke, Idaho, Is Burning.

Spokane, Aug. 22.-Twenty persons
are known to be dead as a result of
forest fires within a radius of $50
miles of Wallace. The death list for
the entire fire swept district of north
ern Idaho is certain to reach 100 and
probably many more. It is impossible,
at the present time, to make an ac-
curate check of the missing.
From Wallace comes reports that
the town of Burke is in flames and
certain of destruction. The fire rang
ers in that territory are so exhausted
that no effective battle against the
flames can be made. The 800 residents
of the town are in flight toward Wal

The Summer of 1889.
The present forest fire situation
finds prototype in the summer of
1889, known as the smoky summer"
That was dry season and the crops
in the valley were largely saved by
the dense smoke that fingered in the
atmosphere throughout the hot
months. The smoke, old timers say,
was not so thick then as now. 1t is
said, however, that burning branches
of trees were blown into Grantsdale,
though no fires were started in the
