LIVINCST0N'S FAST
WELTERWEICHT
JOE ADAMS UNDEFEATED CHAM
PION AND is FAST GOING
UP THE LADDER

Scenic wonders, big mountain
trout and high winds have in the
past put Livingston, Gateway City
Of Yellowstone park, on the map,
but now comes Joe T. Adams, well
terweight boxer of the park entrance
town, with promise to really bring
Livingston fame. Indicated welter-
weight of Montana, Adams has bat
tied his way from a lowly pork and
.beaner" to a place where even the
most knowing of western boxing fans
do not smile when they see the words
claimant of the Pacific coast welter-
weight title" after his name.
Although only % years old, Adams
has been fighting for years.
He started back in Boston but he did
not set the world afire even with a
tiny blaze until he enlisted in a
United States heavy artillery unit.
In France he speedily won the title
of his regiment and he climbed the
army fistic ladder only to meet defeat
for the title of the Third army.
Returning to Boston, Adams
% contests, winning II by the
kayo route. Shortly after the Bos-
ton Post referred to him "as the most
feared boxer in all New England at
his weight" Adams broke his ankle
and was forced to retire for a year.
Coming to Livingston the latter
part of 1921, the Bostonian defeat
ed Montana fighters too numerous to
mention. His first important victory
was over Roy Conley, Wyoming ana
Colorado weller, who claims the
western welterweight title. Adams
won handily from Conley in 10
rounds. Adams next fought a IL
round draw with Pete Bross, Great
Falls claimant of the Montana mid
dleweight championship. The Bean
eater found he had bitter off quite
a chunk when he tackled his heav1eT
opponent, but he put up a game fight

Have you heard of the Hotel
Pullman in Kelvin, one of the prin-
c1pal taverns in the new oil field of
the north? Well, here it is. 1t is
a Pullman car, that years ago,
when Jim Hill was young, was a
palace. In its old age it has been
shunted on to a siding at the new
oil town of the north, and every
night it is filled with geologists
and leasehunters who would play
a part in the big oil development
movement that is only fairly start

FIRST LEGAL ACT
DONE IN MONTANA
PROCLAMATION OF GOVERN
MENT IN WASHINGTON TER
RITORY SIGNED.
Copy of Document Signed in 1853 by
Governor Isaac Stevens, While
Western Montana Was Part of
Washington, Is Received by State
Historical Association.

An interesting contribution to the
historical records of Montana was
made last week when a phOtostatic
copy of the record entry of the pro-
clamation by Governor Isaac /.
Stevens establishing civil govern
ment in Washington territory, writ
ten at old st. Mary's village, now
Stevensville, Montana, was sent to
James u. Sanders, secretary of the
Montana Historical association, by
Congressman w. j. Mccormick.
The western part of Montana was
then a part of Washington territory
and the proclamation is said to be the
first official executive act performed
within the domain now included in
Montana. The proclamation reads as
follows:
''The undersigned having duly
qualified according to law, and hav-
ing entered the territory of Wash
ington on the oath instant, will pro-
coed to organize the anne according
to the provisions of the act approved
March End, 1853-and, ex-officio,
will discharge the duties of Super
intendent of Indian affairs.
'Given under my hand and seal
Ills LW0uIy-ulutH udy VI DSpItuIDSl,
in the Year of Our Lard on thousand
eighth hundred and fifty-three.
(Signed) Isaac 1. Stevens, governor
Washington territory and superin-
tendent Of Indian affairs, St. Mary's
Village, Washington Territory"
Efforts to obtain a copy of this
historic document have been made
for a numbr of vars by Mr.. Sanders
in cooperation with the secretary
of state of Washington in whose
records the original was supposed to
have been filed.
After an extensive research, a
curious old volume containing in long
hand records of official acts of more
than four score years ago was found
in the archives. The document is the
more curious because in it Governor
Stevens apparently is authorizing
himself to go ahead and organize the
territory.
Representative Mccormick also
sent to Mr.. Sanders a photostatic
copy of the record entry of the pro-
clamation by Governor Stevens pro-
viding for the election of delegates
to the first council and house of
representatives of the new territory.
After outlining the method of elect
ing the delegates, fixing the judicial
districts and naming the judges, the
document provided that the first
session of the territorial legislative
bodies would be held at Olympia on
Monday, January %, 1853, and was
countersigned by G. H. Mason, ter
~ritorial secretary.
This evidence of the first official
act of the famous territorial gov
ernor, whose tempestuous career as
executive of that vast western do
main and whose gallant death while
leading his depleted forces at the
battle of Chantilly, himself carry
ing the flag which the co~lor-bearer,
dying, had handed him, form a con-
spicuous part of the history of this
country, will be an interesting adj
dition to the historical records of
Montana.

Much remains to be done, but it is the
intention to have everything ship
shake for the big roundup of the
state herd.
1t is anticipated that many dele
gates to the convention will drive by
way of Missoula and across the old
Flathead reservation, and by taking
the west shore drive 1t Poison the
state camp will be on the direct route
to Kalispell. For those who come by
train transportation will be furnish
ed either by automobile or train and
steamboat to the camp.

A picnic at the state Elks' camp on
Flathead lake is to be one of the big
features of the 1922 Elks' convention
which is to be held at K~alispell July
IL, 18 and 10.
The camp is located on the west
shore of the lake, and the members
of the Kalispell lodge have been
working like section hands all during
the spring to get the grounds in pre-
sentable condition for the convention.
Roads have been built, walks laid out
and the grounds generally cleared up.

is believed that the temple will be
a great aid in entertaining the guests.
The state convention was held in
Kalispell 10 years ago, and was gen.
orally conceded to be a great success,
but the local lodge promises that it
Will have many added attractions to
offer this year, and will also Guido
its former efforts at entertainment.
An effort is being made to induce
President Harding to dedicate the
temple, as he will be at the National
Editorial convention at Missoula at
about that time.

In addition to this, the Kalispell
lodge feels that it has many attrac-
lions to offer the visitors. Among
these are Glacier National park,
which is only 80 miles away, and
beautiful drives on all roads leading
out of Kalispell. Further, the Elks'
temple will be fully completed by the
convention dates, and will offer a
gymnasium, plunge and the usual
recreation features. The lodge room
which is 4S by so feet, is said to be
one of the finest in the state, and it

Business men of Troy, Idaho,
are back of the Three-In-O One de-
velopment, the pioneer of the
group being H. c. Stapleton, who
went into the field and began ac-
quiring leases last March, when the
future of the district was on the
knees of the gods. In order to take
over some of the more choice lease
holds, Mr.. Stapleton put up $1,000
in cash with the Stockmen's Ma
tional bank at Fort Benton, as a
guarantee that he and his asso-
ciates would drill within a specified
time. Then he went backsaD Idaho
and experienced no difficulty in in
teresting the leading business men
of his town in his undertaking. In
consequence of his initiative nearly
every man of means in Troy is in
terested in the Kevin-Sunburst
field, and if it proves out as indi-
cations promise, Troy will benefit
financially more than any town in
the west, not ever excepting Great

WASTED ABILITY

Providing you are an intelligent human be- ing, you put the money you have to work.
 Either invested in sound securities, or de- nosited in a savings bank 1t will earn interest for you.
 Buried in a hole under the fireplace or stuffed away in a stocking, it will be a use less risk.
 If you have ability, you will, if you are wise, do the same thing with it.
 Ability, left unused, may be brilliant, like flashes of lightning, but it is no more valu- able to mankind.
 You have doubtless known many brilliant man who were barely able to make their own living
 You have known men of real talent who hardly knew where their next meal was com ing from.
 These men knew they had talent, but they made the mistake of thinking that the talent would take care of them.

RUSSIA RECALCITRANT

The conference at The Hague apparently is about to break up on the controversy re- garding property. In making their request for loan, the Soviets offered concessions in the development of Russian natural resources It appeared that many of those concessions had been granted by former Russian rulers confiscated by the Soviet Government and are now offered again with the former owner permitted to bid on an equality with all oth- CTS Restitution is not found in the Russian scheme at all, and former private holdings of all kinds are now considered assets of the government, to be offered as inducements for a loan.
 One of the British representatives at the meeting spoke the minds of his associates when he said, 'No credits, public of private, in any country of the world will be forthcon- ing unless satisfactory conditions are obtained regarding property. It is absolutely necessary we should know what property will be re- stored; what you intend to do when property is not restored, and what will be the condi- tions of restitution. Until this is known it is perfectly futile and absurd to continue.''r %

A young Englishman was walking up and down the platform of a coun- try railroad junction, trying to see car that had a vacant seat. He didn't find it. and assuming an of ficial air, he walked up to the last car and announced in stentorian tones:
 "All out here; this car isn't going"
 There were eXclamations low and deep from the occupants of the car, but they all piled out and made their way to cars ahead. The smile on the young mans face increased as he took possession of seat and ap- propriated another for his luggage.
 "Ah," he murmured. "Tt's a grand thing to be born clever! Now I wish they'd start"
 By and by the station master put his head in at the door: "Are you the smart young man who said this car wasn't going?"
 "Yes," said the clever one smil- ing.

The United States has been saved the humiliation of be- ing dictated to by the Soviet emissaries, both at Genoa and at The Hague.

AMERICAN ADVISERS IN DEMAND

An American has been selected by the Chin ese Government at Peking to adjust the tangl- ed financial condition of the country and re establish Chinese credit. The incident is an other evidence of the high regard in which the United States is held by prominent China men. American prestige in China is a valuable asset. It may be that it can be utilized in aid ing settlement of the distracted internal af, fairs of that country, and after a readiust- ment has been attained it will be a potent factor in building up trade between the Unit ed States and China.
