Dempsey-G Gibbons Scrap
 Staged on Historic Ground

clear titles might be had to the land for leasing purposes.
 The proven oil field adjacent tC Shelby is twenty miles long and F miles wide, one of the largest in the United States. Though it's present pro ductiOn from the 33 wells already drill ed is only about 2,200 barrels daily there are six wells in the field capable of producing 2O,OOO,0OO feet of gas in day.
 Boom Last Fall
 The boom at Shelby started last fall when it was made headquarters fo1 drillers and field men employed by the Standard Oil company and it's subsid iaries as we'll as several independent companies. All through the winter the building of homes, business blocks warehouses and hotels has been push ed vigorously,
 Ninety city blocks of sidewalk are now under way. Everything about the town is typical of boom town Shelby business men admit that the bid for the Dempsey Gibbons battle originally was made more for the pur- pose of getting the town a lot of free advertising than because they believ ed they could get Dempsey to come there. But Great Falls business men took the proposition seriously, partic- ularly after St. Paul sportsmen said they believed the scheme feasible and offered cooperation.
 At this juncture Loy J. Molumby, state commander of the American Le zion, and an aviator during the late war, jumped into an airplane and flew to Salt Lake where he convinced Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager that his proposition was serious one. Great Falls and Shelby business men put up $110,000 cash guarantee and have talk en options on ringside seat sat $50 apiece to equal the amount of their subscriptions. Both Dempsey and Gibbons are to train five weeks pre- vious to the fight at Great Falls.
 Hospital for Veterans
 Under Montana's boxing law one half of the net receipts of all boxing bouts go to the state to be used in the erection of hospital for war veter- ans. It was for this reason Molumby put up the fight to get the event.
 Shelby in addition to being a boom town is one of the last frontier vil- lages of the Northwest, being only a few miles from the Blackfeet Indian reservation and Glacier National Park There will be enough cowboys and h. dians at the fight to give every east erner who attends glimps of the old COW country that was.

BREAk-U AT T. YUKON
 WORST IN ITS HISTORY

Miss Sylvia Sexton received a let ter this week from Mrs. Grace Brook, former Seward resident now at Ft. Yukon, with her husband, describing the recent breakup, which she de- clares was one of the worst in the history of the camp. Mrs. Brooks writes:
 "The breakup this year was early and one of the worst we have ever had, and Fort Yukon experienced the worst flood that has ever decolated camp. It came about a. m, with everyone asleep, but finally people were awakened by the waters rushing through the town, but there was hard ly any time to save anything, the loss being quite heavy. Many small craft were swept down by the ice. Some had time to get their belongings on tables and chairs and out of the eel lars, thus saving them from getting wet Rowboats and canoes were soon afloat, and soon everyone was going around in boats. In the stores it raised three feet, just level with the counters. In out home the waters were g 1-2 inches over the floors for eight hours. Our home is further back than the rest and on higher ground. We managed to get the piano up on logs and our trunks on tables, thus saving them.
 There was great danger of the river cutting a new channel. Ii this had happened the town would have been doomed, as there were cakes of ice five feet thick and 10 to 30 feet square. As it was the largest pieces came into town for quite a distance. The town is a terrible looking place Everyone had their yards cleaned up and was waiting for the breakup to be over, when the high water came and tore up everything. Haley's road house is close to the bank, and the ice is piled high in front of it right up to the front door. Everyone has been busy cleaning the mud out, and after MT. Haley had the roadhouse rid of water and the mud shoveled out he started fires in the stoves to dry things out and the place caught fire, and had it not been for the cellar still being full of water, the place would have been destroyed. His loss in blank cts, mattresses, etc., was quite heavy.
 "The mail launch is coming today and everyone is quite optimistic in spite of the flood.'

GREAT FALLS, Mont, May 29- When Jack Dempsey, the worlds heavyweight champion, defends his title against Tom Gibbons on July 1, at Shelby, Mont, 100 miles north of this place, he will not only fight for the first time in an amphitheatre ere ated by nature, but he will be engaged in battle on the very spot where, in April, 1886, the braves of the Black feet and the Sioux tribes met in one of the last tribal wars of Montana, facing grim death in hand-to-hand struggle with tomahawks and knives. Montana promoters of the Dempsey Gibbons bout have chosen this historic spot, not only for the gory scene it recalls but because its contour fits admirably into the architects plan for an arena that can be cheaply built. The plans of the building have been so drawn as to accommodate 100000 spectators In the bowl that will be CT ected, but the topography Of the nat ural ampitheatre is such that addition al thousands will be cared for on the sloping grounds that surround the are aa and which rises even higher.
 Oil Rooms Burg
 Not since Jack Johnson took the heavyweight title from Jim Jeffries at Reno, Nevada, in July, 1910, has a championship bout been held in the far west, in town as small as Shelby, which has a population of 2,200 peO- pie, including the people now there because of the oil boom. A year ago it's population was 300.
 Shelby was designated as possible townsite back in 1891 when the Great Northern railway extended it's trans continental line from Havre, Mont, on through the Rockies to the West Coast It was named by James J. Hill, president of the railroad, for P. H. Shelby, manager of the Great Nom- hern lines in Montana. Something of the blessings which nature conferred on the townsite may be gathered by the statement made to MT. Shelby af ter he became a Cleveland financier, by friends who had visited the place, that he should not feel complimented by such a namesake, flor it is lone somehurst-a windswept, sun-blister- edf and winterpestered crossroads"
 Was Poor County
 From 1917 until Marth, 1922, when oil was discovered thirty miles from Shelby, hundreds of thousands of dol lars in delinquent taxes are written on Toole county's books because of exodus of would-be farmers In the last year more than $2OO,OOO of these delinquencies have been paid, so that
