North Dakota six weeks ago, after
having started IL times and being in
the money every time but once.
Altar Boy, a green six-year-old
trotter, is being put through the
training PAGES by Grogan at present
and great things are expected of the
horse, which Is by King Red.
1t is these kind of men, Messrs.
McGarvey, Anlow, Davis and Grogan,
who have worked untiringly to keep
the harness racing game from the
stigma that sometimes has entered
into the running turf, and 1t is this
band who have been called the "old
guard" who have revived the game
OF late in Butte and are keeping up
Montana's sulky race traditions by
victories over the best on the eastern
turf.

Is harness racing a dead sport IN
Butte? No, is the answer of an old
guard of reinsmen and trainers in the
mining city, who, unknown to the
greater part of the public are today
and have been since the track game
faded, racing high-class trotters and
PAGERS, and, furthermore, getting
their share of purses on eastern state
tracks.
Running races can't survive with
out betting; the harness game can,
but the mutuel system would have
helped to bring it back on the old
basis in Butte is the way one we'll
known Butte horseman puts it.
"Today Butte and Montana owners
are forced to leave their state in
order to race. The demand is great
in North Dakota, Minnesota and
other bordering states for entries at
the numerous county fairs. In fact,
the sport has such popularity that
Butte men, the old-timers at the har-
ness end of racing, have taken thou
sands of dollars in purses from these
places in the years since the game
declined in their own parts" he said.
est-class breeding farms in the ma
ton, the blood of Montana sires and
dams is contributing winners on
other tracks of the nation today, as
attested by the yearly campaigns of
Charlie McGarvey, Pete Grogan, Jack
Anlow and F. G. Davis, all Butte
men, who stand today at the head
of the old guard Of drivers and train
ers.
From Tallyho to Turf
All of these men are but recently
home from successful seasons in
North Dakota and Minnesota They
have nags, with blood and speed, and
guided over the eastern turf against
the best of that section, they have
kept up the mining city's track ira
ditions.
Twelve years ago a little brown
colt was foaled on the famous Lara
bic breeding station near Ruby. He
was by Spokane, 2:15 ", one of the
famous harness animals of the coun-
try 20 years ago, and his blood led
the owner to send him to California |
for a whirl at the game. "He didn't |
go just right and, after three years, |
was shipped back to Montana to run |
on the grassy ranges" Charlie Nc
Garvey, one-time owner of the fam
ous Earnfold, and probably dean of
Butte reinsmen, who owns Blue
Finch, 2:11 speedster, says in Civ
ng his prize gelding's history.
A little later the animal found it's
way to the livery stable. He was
hen a big, brown horse and worked
we'll on tallyho driven by ]. H.
Jooney. He was also in demand at
and, in fact, the owners
lad no trouble in hiring the animal
zach day.
Then three years ago, McGarvey,
student of horseflesh since he was
Ible to climb into sulky, bought
Blue Finch from Morris Egan. He
tut the gelding through the training
aces and here is the record for three
ears of the one-time range horse,

THE WEEK in BUSINESS
By The Tribune.

the causes behind it are certainly not
obscure. The net issue of the German
reichsbank is now up to A, 900. 900, OOO
marks since the beginning of the year
and $4,000, OOO,O 900 marks since the in
flation incident to meeting the repara-
tons payments set in q year ago. The
present total is nearly 1853. 900. O0O, 900
as against less than 1000, 100000 be-
fore the war.
Yet, even this is not the whole story
of Germany's desperate plight, for be-
sides the terrific emission of German
bank notes. there has been an almost
equally rapid increase in the govern
ment's floating debt, financed by treas
ury bills. These obligations within the
last nine months have risen nearly
10000. OOO,O 900 marks and this must
be joined to the record of note expan-
sion to get a complete structure of the
%diminution in the value of German cur
rency through increase of paper money.
German Problem Remains Uns0lved
The way things stand now, no solu-
ton of Germany's financial problem is
conceivable. Germany has not accept
able assets to pledge against an inter
national loan of sufficient magnitude
to take care of the program as at
present.
The French government cannot
modify the reparations, bringing them
within German credit facilities, and
hope to last. Here, surely, is a diem
ma, but it is perfectly obvious that
Germany cannot go on piling up its
paper currency in an effort to obtain
gold for the ~reparations. Eventually
it would get in the class of bankrupt
Austria, where it takes 10000 crowns
to make an American dollar as against
less than five crowns before the war.
This test will come when Germany
finds herself no longer able to meet
the monthly installments in gold; The
question then will be whether France
will awaken to the truth that she is
jeopardizing her own interests, when,
her policy of no let-up en- con-
cessions, she forces a German financial
breakdown.

THREAT OF RAIL STRIKE
is DISTURBING ELEMENT
IN BUSINESS SITUATION
nv Wells-Dickey Company

The most disturbing element on the
present business horizon IS the
strengthened railway strike. While
it cannot be said that the situation up
to this time has been such as TO be
disturbing either to business or I'M
ance, the action OF the railroad bro
therhoods within the past few days
shows a distinct disposition on their
part not to accept the wage reduc-
lions recently ordered by the Federal
Labor board. When the reductions IN
railway t~raffics were ordered oy the
Interstate Commerce commission some
months ago there was a quite COM
~pliance on the part Of the railways
throughout the country. although such
compliance actually j~eopardized the I'm
ancial position of q few
There is no reason in the world why
the decisions of the board should not
be lust as binding upon the rail
workers as upon the railways. The
.hardships have not been one sided by
anv means. The wage increases which
the railways have been called upon to
paw for some time past as the result
of labor board rulings were decidedly
hard to bear in the face of decreased
traffic. Now that the cost OF living
as determined by the national ndls-
trial conference shows a decidedly
sharp drop as compared with the in
dex for 1920. it seems reasonable that
some reduction in wages should be
made. Whether or not that arrived
by the labor board is just Is really the
only big question at issue.
Car Loadlngs improve
There is continuing evidence of bust
ness expansion which, il continued,
may be felt to an increasing extent
in the money market, with the result
that money rates may show some
what OF a hardening from now N If
money is to begin to flow INTO indus
trial channels, then it may be ex-
also that the stock market will
eventually feel the pinch. The record
car loadings as an index shows
improvement. The week end

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, July disappointing re-
ports regarding threshing in the winter
wheat belt and the apprehension of
black rust in the northwest gave a de-
cidedly firm undertone to the grain
market Saturday. At the finish, wheat
was 1& to 3Ac higher. with July
$1.17% to $1.17% and September $1.17%
to $1.17A; corn advanced Y to 1Ac;
oats were V to INC up, and provisions
ranged from TIC lower to SC higher.
Although damage claims from rust
have not been confirmed SO far, Min
neapolis showed more strength than
Chicago. Deliveries on July contracts
here Saturday morning were 1856 900
bushels Of wheat, which was smaller
than had been expected. Weather con-
ditions over the spring wheat belt were
favorable with temperatures rather too
low for rapid development Of black rust.
Corn and oats held within rather mar
row limits with elevator interests buy
ing the July and selling the September
without affecting the difference to any
great extent.
Provisions we're dull and somewhat
unsettled.

lows:
