ANXIOUS TO BUY
STADIUM LUMBER
Home Builders Hope for Big
Bargains When Fight
Structure Is DismantIed.

Individual home builders in the
vicinity of Jersey City. N. j.. are
deferring construction of their homes
temporarily in the hope that they can
obtain cheap lumber when the mas
sive timber stadium erected for the
Carpentier-Dempsey fight is dis
mantled, according to the Dow Service
Report.
Huge Amount Of Lumber.
Fanciful estimates as to the total
quantity of lumber contained in this
block square structure, rising three
stories above the ground, are enter
tanned by prospective builders in New
York and vicinity. The original es-
innate for the lumber requirement
for this arena was 100000 board feet.
but the total quantity that will be
used in the structure and Enclosures
will approximate 100000 feet. it is
stated. Thrifty home builders have
told their architects that they will
wait before proceeding with home
construction until they can take ad-
vantage of the dismantling of the
stadium and the sacrifice sales that
SPECTATORS will offer the public for
this material.
Chances Are Uncertain.
However. it is declared the chances
| of this lumber being thrown upon the
market Immediately are somewhat
remote. in view of the fact that nego-
tiations are under way for a syndicate
to take over the huge structure for
other athletic exhibitions during the
| tenure of the temporary building per-

DEARBORN OIL BILL CONDEMNED
AS VICIOUS BY LEWIST0WN MEN
Independent Operating Forces Will Send Dele
CATION to Helena to Seek Revision Of
Pending Measure.

Lewistown, Feb 12.-Calling it a
vicious bit Of proposed legislation with
many hidden dangers, the gravest Of
which might be complete surrender
of Montana's petroleum resources to
dominant interests, Independent Oil
operators at meeting Friday night
condemned senate bill 1O3 and selected
delegates to 60 to Helena Monday to
suggest amendments to which the
house committee might be amenable.
The meeting was unanimous in de-
claring itself in favor Of regulation
which will prevent fraudulent repre-
sentation in the sale of oil securities,
but in firm opposition to measure
held to be discriminatory and confis-
catory and in contravention Of ac-
cepted law that public official is
subject to mandamus.
Most People Honest.
''Ninety-five percent of the people Of
Montana are inherently honest, and
the other five percent are in the peni-
tentiary," Judge ROY u. Ayers, pre-
siding officer of the meeting, de-
clared.
"a law providing safeguards
against fraud, however, is the desire Of
the oil men Of Montana. Such law
would be protection for and aid to the
man honestly endeavoring to finance
drilling the state"
Saying that the interests of the
people of Montana was of foremost
Great Falls tribune., 1921-02-13

concern with him, Judge II. u. Dekalb
declared that the Dearborn bill now
before the legislature Is inimical to
such interests and contains no virtues.
'"The blue sky laws enacted in the
various states have been more of a
detriment than q benefit to the public, ;"
Judge Dekalb said.
Condemned by Judge Dekaib.
'sThey are not in harmony with our
constitutional laws. In that they are
for the most part discriminatory in
their one-man power to determine the
legitimacy Of an enterprise. Besidesj,
we ought not admit to the world at
large our inability to use our own
judgement, and it is highly danger
Gus thing to have our business pre-
digested for US by state official
The Dearborn bill will inculcate q
spirit Of patrimony leaving it to the
state to do the thinking for our
people," Y.
MY associates and myself have oil
lands which we wish to develop, but we
have 1Aot among ourselves the means
to finance the development of such
lands" Mayor Charles Marshall de-
clares. IF the Dearborn bill passes,
we will be stripped Of any possible
chance of drilling our holdings, the
leases will lapse and eventually find
their way into the hands Of interests
which now control more than three
million acres in Montana"
