CARBON COUNTY BOY
Is COMING FIGHTER

Fighting under the name of Jack
Reeves, Reeves Moses, a former Car
bon county boy, will meet next month
at Edmonton, Alta, Tommy Gibbons
of st. Paul in a fight for the light
heavyweight championship of the
world. Reeves is a son Of John
Noses, who was formerly in the hotel
business and who will be remember
ed by old-time residents of that sec
ton. He started fighting a little
more than a year ago, he says in a
letter, most of his contests being
staged in San Francisco and other
coast cities.
Reeves has fought almost every
middle and light heavyweight on the
Pacific coast, his last contest being
with Bob Mccormick, light heavy
weight champion of England and the
holder of the Lonsdale belt for that
weight. He has participated In 80
fights and out of that number has
lost only three, these being four
round bouts. Following his fight
with Gibbons, Reeves expects to
meet Eugene Brosseau, Canadian
middleweight champion, in a battle
at Calgary.
Reeves is only 20 years old. His
career as a fighter is being followed
with much interest by his former
schoolfellows in Carbon county and
the showing he has made up to
they expect a brilliant ring flu
ture from him.

RECORD PRICE is PAID
FOR IRRIGATED ACREAGE

The Yellowstone valley seems to
be coming into its own at last and
the predictions of the most optimistic
~forecasters of 1905 appear to be ma
king good. In the old days when the
big ditch was first talked of the OPP
timist said that land in the valley
would sell at 500 per acre or bet
ter when under irrigation; but hard
1y any one believed them then.
The Hans Jorgenson place a mile
north of Sidney has been sold to j..
M. and Anton Fransden at SITS per
acre. ]. M. F~ransden, who has re-
sided near Sidney for some time, is
we'll known and Anton Fransden, his
brother, is from Nebraska. These
men have now one of the very best
irrigated tracts in the valley and
while they have topped the market
in paying $175 per acre for this farm
they are sure to make it pay big re-
turns on the investment.
Another land deal was made when
the Ole Olson $50 acre farm north
of Sidney was sold to Eric Peterson.

MONTANA RANCHMAN
LEAVES TO RELATIVES
MILLIONS OF MARKS

Henry Burmeister, a Cascade coun-
ty rancher, died a few days ago,
leaving a fortune estimated at $780,
900.
Burmeister was a native of Ger
many. In his will he gave German
relatives legacies totaling $500.
The German mark, which was
worth 25 cents before the kaiser
started out to whip the world, is now
quoted in the money exchanges at
lis marks to the dollar.
When this good American cash is
sent to Germany and changed into
the wooden money of the %fatherland,
Burmeister's relatives will receive
the enormous total of ~3,565,000
marks.
If Burmeister had left his entire
fortune to his relatives and it had
all been sent to Germany the total
at the present rate of exchange would
be 100000 marks.

LUMBER PRICES SHOW
A MATERIAL DECREASE

In spite of a car shortage, which
is affecting lumber production in the
northwest, prices have dropped ma
terial1y in the last few weeks, &C
cording to H. L. Sherlock, assistant
state forester. The estimated reduc-
ton in lumber prices is put at 20 per
cent by many dealers, Mr.. Sherlock
says.
Because of the inability to get cars
on which to ship logs to mills, the
size of many crews in the field has
been cut down.
The drop in prices is due to the
greatly increased production which
was caused by the ideal weather con-
ditions for logging this winter.

Chicago. Sept. 2S.-Chicago bank
ers today were discussing the ad-
visibility Of establishing fleet Of
armored cars to transport money
from the financial district to indus
trial centers, or from outlying
banks to the downtown Institutions.
The plan is designed to pat a stop
to payroll robbers. The idea was
presented to a group Of bankers by
Bert Bettelheim, private detec-
tive, and calls for five units. each
OF which will consist Of an armOred
truck and touring car. The truck
crew would consist Of chauffeur
and two armed guards, and it
would be conveyed by the touring
car beaElhg a chauffeur and three
armed men. One feature Of the
equipment would be a large gong
which would be set ringing by the
chauffeur at sight Of bandits and
which could be stopped only by the
use of special key.
Bankers said they expected the
service would be installed here
within a few weeks.
