work, Richards never lave him any
time to loaf during the entire eight
rounds. 1t was a pretty exhibition
and each must be given much credit
In the contest. In the ..fth, Paddy
had the little fellow all but out, but
70 the surprise of all. Richards came
back in the sixth and outfought Paddy
from the go, but O'Hern worried the
little fellow with his left jab to the
head and face SO frequent that he was
forced to cover up. and during the
seventh and eighth rounds. while
Paddy tried hard to put him away,
Richards stood all of O'Hern's rush
ing gamely and gave Paddy some hard
Jolts even in the last round. Richards
Is not only clever, but likes the mill
Ing and had he landed some of the
swings he started for the local boy.
1t might have been different, but
Paddy was too clever to remain for
them and his footwork was revela-
tion even to his trainers. This made
Richards appear wild in his rushes
and very ineffective. 1t was the pref
tiest contest of the evening by far
and much enjoyed by the fans.
The curtain raiser was flashlight
AFFAIR, sunshine, pipe-dreams, sweet
music and flowers, followed by drowsi-
ness, dreams, darkness and defeat,
such was the experience Of Oliver, the
opponent Of the fighting chauffeur"
Chapman, and the affair was really
over in a fash, as the end of the first
round had not been reached before
Chapman nut over one of those light
ning-like sleep producers and oliver
was out, yet up to that time he had
succeeded in landing a few punches
that were telling, yet he had no
chance from the beginning. Chapman
will be matched later with Slick Mer-
rill, who it is said is q better man than
Chapman has met here previously.

SPLENDID CONDITION Is SHOWN
IN THEIR YEARLY

The Empire Bank and Trust Co. last
week held their annual election OF
officers and directors for the ensuing
year and the following officers and di
rectors were reelected: President
Samuel Phillips; vice-president, John
p. Barnes; cashier, F. J. Hazen; as
sistant cashier, J. c. Miller. The di
rectors are Samuel Phillips, ]. T
Wunderlin, John F. Barnes. M. l.

declared to the shareholders and
places this among one of the strong
est young banks in this county, with
deposits of half million dollars. The
capital and surplus of the Empire is
now $125,00O.
This bank acts as a clearing house
for all the financial institutions OF
this city, which was organized only

ings through the Empire was $40,
263,987.67, and to say that the amount
will reach the Is million mark dur.
ing the year of 1914, we think, is con.

Helena, Jan. 12.-Attention of school
boards is being called in a letter sent
out by H. A. Davee, superintendent of
public instruction, to the law passed
last winter providing that superinten.
dents and principals now serving
their second year must be given no
tice before February 1 II they are not
going to be retained. The letter:
while the adoption of the new law
(sectiOns 801, 1900 in regard to the
tenure of teachers marks a great ad
vance, we do not want any school
boards to be able to feel that advan.
tage has been taken of their unfa.
miliarity with the law to keep teach.
ers in places where they are not CIV
ing satisfaction.
AS January n is the date for the
regular quarterly meetings of all the
school boards, both district boards
and county high school boards,
would suggest that you make a spe-
cial effort to see to 1t before that date
that all such boards are reminded that
on or before February / they must
give notice to all superintendent and
principals now serving their second
year, II their services are not desired
for the ensuing year; otherwise, such
and principals will
have a right to consider themselves
reelected without any express action
0f the board.
"As this date applies only to super
intendents and principals, no atten-
tion need be paid at present to dis
tricts which do not employ any super
intendents or principals, or where you
happen to know that the present su-
perintendent or principal is serving
his first year in the position"

The Little Fellows Gave a Fine Show
Of cleverness and Gameness in
Every Round-Richards ls Beaten
But Game to the last-Both Boys
Show Fu.ure Development.

The boxing contest at the Lewis
town Athletic club last Thursday
night was very successful affair to
the management, as the attendance
was all that could be desired, the
house being packed. Good contests
is all that the fans ask and last nights
bill was a good one from every stand
point. McCarty conquered his old
rival, Jack Kelly, in a splendid exhibit
tion Of cleverness. The contestants
were well matched, but the improve
ment that MAC" has made during the
last few weeks surprised even his
closest friends and Kelly was really
outclassed in every way. The bout
was shorter one than most expected,
as Mac" was successful in getting
inside the defense that Kelly seems
to be so adept with, and when he had
solved that, there was nothing for him
to do but 60 in and finish him, which
he did in the fourth round after hav-
ing made him take the count of nine
in two previous rounds. McCarty was
unmarked in the contest and showed
such marked defensive tactics with
his former fight with Rogers that there
can be no question of his future if lie
can but get better opportunities for
conditioning himself. He is a splen.
did worker and anxious to improve
himself and a clean liver in every re-
spect. We will hear more of him in
tn efuture and among the higher class,
we feel sure.
To those who have seen Paddy
O'Hern in former bouts, in which it
is true the advantage was with Paddy,
and who could not see the real scrap
that Paddy had in his little 1872
pounds, had a pleasant surprise in
store for them. The little fellow who
opposed him. AL Richards, is one of
the best amateurs in the west and a
game fighter from the gong. He made

Spokane rates, which the Great Nor
thern and Northern Pacific voluntarily
offered to put in effect last fall, be
made effective at once pending a de-
cision after a rehearing. This was
agreed to by the Northern Pacific, the
Great Northern and Milwaukee, but
was protested by the Short Line.
These reduced rates that become ef-
fective at once, however, do not af-
feet the rights of the jobbers in seek
ing lower rates.
M. S. Gum appeared for the Nor
thern Pacific, and asked that re-
hearing be granted, and the carriers
be given 80 days in which to prepare
for it. He said the hearing held last
October was not very extensive and
the evidence was not very complete.
The order was made on assumptions
and presumptions wholly unwarrant-
ed by what was brought out then, he
averred. He explained the railroads
were not asking for a reversal of the
order but merely a rehearing. He
said that through misunderstanding,
which perhaps was the fault of the
railroads themselves, they did not un-
derstand the nature of the proceed
in glast fall and were not prepared.
w. M. Bode, of the Great Falls Trib-
une, said that while he spoke for him
self personally, he believed he repre-
sented hundreds of small business
men in the state when he asserted
that what was desired was better serv-
ice rather than lower rates. More
stations, more immigrants and other
Indications of DEVELOPMENT he insist
ed were what the commonwealth now
needs, and he added he felt sure that
If reduced rates made serious inroads
on the revenues of the railroads he
was certain the small business men
would prefer not to have them. In
closing he said it would be considered
an unfriendly act to the railroads to
deny them a rehearing.

CElEBRAT|ONOF
MONTANA'S 5 BIRTHDAYS
MAY c e RATE MONTANA'S
BIRTHDAY AT STATE
FAIR.

Observance of Montana's two an
niversaries this year by big cele-
bratiOn at Helena state fair time, is
advocated by the Butte Post. Helena
is also considering celebrating it's
fiftieth birthday at that time, which
would work In very nicely with the
state celebration.
Three different suggestions for the
celebration are davanced in the Post.
w. X. Allen, native of the state
and formerly lieutenant governor, be-
lieves that the anniversaries could
well be celebrated by means of his
torical exhibits at the state fair from
the several counties. ID. J. Charles,
president of the Butte Chamber of
Commerce and head of the Miners
Savings Bank and Trust company,
suggests the erection of a memorial
on the capitol grounds at Helena, to
be dedicated with proper ceremonies
during state fair week, the school chill
dren of the state also to observe the
anniversary with special exercises.
Mrs. Laura Tolman Scott of Armstead
suggests an historical pageant to COM
memorate the anniversary.
Montana became territory on May
26. 1864; 1t was admitted to the union
of states on Nov. s, 1889. These are
the dates around which Montanas his
tory centers. Prior to it's creation as
territory, Montana was a part OF
Idaho. 1t had been at one time or an.
other in other territorial divisions of
the country. The earliest explorers,
missionaries, traders and trappers did
not know the region by the name it
was to bear later.
