POSTPO Mem MENT
SHELBY FIGHT
IS ASKED FOR
Hope to Remain AlOft
Until Sometime
Monday
BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
u. p. Staff Correspondent.

SHELBY, Mont, June 2s.-PrO-
moters of the Dempsey-Gibbons
fight will ask the boxers and their
managers to consent to postpone
ment from July 4 to July IA, it was
learned from a reliable source of
information today.
The DempseyGibbons July 4
fight transaction looks like a hope
less flat tire John o. Neil, one of
the most liberal of Great Falls con
tributors to Dempsey's purse, declar-
ed here.
He predicted that the promotion
would GO down as the greatest fias-
co of the kind that ever occurred.
Confronted with the problem of
raising $273,000 TO pay Dempsey the
$4,000 still owing on his guar
antee and meet other Indebtedness,
the promoters seek more time in
which to dig up the money.
Given ten day stay, they believe
they can scrape together enough
cash for Dempsey by July and
in the remaining extra time can
boom the ticket sale to raise the
rest of the sum.
Managers Must Consent
Consent of Jack Kearns and Ed
die Kane, managers of the champion
and the challenger, viii he neces-
sary before there can be a post
ponement, as the contract calls for
the bout on July 4. Neither kearns
nor Kane was ready TO discuss the
postponement until the subject had
been officially presented.
Following resignation of Dan
Tracy, Great Falls man, who was
named as the representative Of sew
eral creditors, Mayor Jim johnson
was back in the saddle as the big
boss of the fight.
q have 100000 worth Of I'M
eneubered property and with this
back of me | will say the fight is
on. We have put too muef, in this
not to 60 through with it, johnson
said.

ALASKA PROVES TO HAVE BEEN
'SOME' REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT
PAYING 700 PER CENT ANNUALLY
Dv NM. j. L0SH
u. P. Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 26.-When
Pres. Harding visits Alaska in July
he viii inspec5 une o. the most prof
liable real estate buys in history.
Purchased by Lincoln s secretary
of state, William Seward, from Rus
sia in 1867 for $7,200,000, the ter
ritory is now netting Uncle Sam a
profit of about 700 per cent per an
mum.
When Seward made the purchase
cynical Americans dubbed it "Sew.
ard S Folly and agreed that he
could have spent the money more
profitly in buying from England an
exclusive concession to sell ice TO
Canadian eskimos.
a study of the statistics of trade
between the United States and Alas
ka in 1922 proves who was right.
During the year 1922, Alaska ship
ped to the United States products
valued at $4S.596.532. In 1921, it
shipped products worth $34,559, $50
and in 1920, $57,742,997 from 7 to 8
times its purchase price. These fig
ures are exclusive of shipments of
gold and silver, which, astounding
rs it may seem to those who dream
of Alaska as vast treasure house
of precious metals and little else,
amounted to only $7.431,S7 in 1922
and $7,350,092 in 1921.
Heading the list of goods during
all the three past years, was canned
salmon, the doughbov's S "goldfish, "
900, ,7S5,073 pounds of if, valued at
500, ,4S7 ,626. Every soldier in the
4. E. F. will swear that they ship
ped 100 times that much to France
i'll 1918.
The second article in Importance
in Alaskan products shipped to the
United States was copper ore, matte
and regulus, worth $9,S33, ,444 in1922
and Sl4,006,477 in 1922.
The third important exported pro
duct was furs other than sealskin =
which netted the trappers $2.747,1 ,101
III 1922. Sealskins exported i'll 1922
totalled 32,005 skins valued at SSH
100.
The only other products whose
from Alaska in 1922 tot
allied over $1,000,000 were compan-
ions of the canned salmon, dried,
smoked and cured fish, whose ex-
ported value in 1922 was 2,402. .914,
and I'll canned fish other than sal
mon, valued at 1885, ,261.
Valuable Export Field
From the American businessman s
point of view, Alaska s value to the
United States issin its Importance as
a market for his products rather
than rs source of raw materials
however valuable and remunerative.
The trade statistics show that "Sew-
ard s Folly is a valuable though
NOT enormously important export
field.
In 1922 its purchases from the
United States totalled S26,777, ,S06;
in 1921 $19,247,2l5, and in 1920, the
territory S banner trade year, both
in imports and exports, $36,S76,855.

MUCH TO LEARN,

Everyone knows that judging people too quickly is a sad mistake. But
 everyone does not realize how con
 stantly we indulge in this habit. We
 see chap wearing a good suit or
 clothes and clean linen and carrying
 an air of prosperity about him and
 we are inclined to think immediately
 that he has some soft job and does
 not know anything about hard work
 with the hands--that he cannot un-
 derstand the "workingman's" point Of
 view. We may be all wrong. He
 may have worked his way pp to that
 good suit and white collar by the
 hardest kind of manual labor, bring
 to it, however, his brains.
 On the other hand we may sec fellow in poor suit with dirty hands, and however much we may admire him as type Of the honest working man" we may imagine that his edu- cation is not great and his acquaint- ance not worth seeking for he will not be able to elevate our mind or teach us anything. Again we may be all wrong. He may be on his way to that good suit and white collar and he may have broader, more liberal that we may hope to ac- 1uirc. Making snap judgment" Of the people we meet while laboring with our hands or brains, or whom we meet socially, is merely sign Of gross ignorance. And it is, in q broader sense, q sign of the sort of provin- ,ialism that heads its possessor | straight for the land of self-complai- 1 ,ancy which breeds stagnation. It is | ,hown in all classes Of society. more | requently. probably. among the so- ,alled intelligent people. Having had nore advantages they feel that they Ire better able to judge men and that 10 one has had quite the advantages .iven them.
 IL makes no difference where we i've, in New York city. in Chicago or Jew Britain-that place in which we i've and pass most Of our time is a cry. small place indeed when we con ider that beyond IS the whole world f which we may have seen very little nd from which we may have leanred

GUN T0IER AND PAL ARE
 PLACED ON PROBATION
Youths Who Started Out to Be Desperate Desmonds" Promise
 to Behave

Michael Rupp, arraigned before Judge George w. Klett in Police court this morning on charge of carrying concealed weapons and Clarence Lunder, on a charge of vag- rancy, were placed on probation for six months in the care of Probation Officer Edward c. Connolly on con- dition that they find work and live at home with their parents.
 The young men were arrested early yesterday morning by Policeman Gus tav Hellberg in the vicinity of Frank lin Square. Policeman Hellberg tes- tifed that he found Rupp and Lunder near the Elihu Burritt monument op- posite the High school. Rupp had a revolver in his possession and Lunder had 8 flashlight, the officer said.
 Detective Sergeant William P. Me- Cue testified that Lunder had ad- mitted to him that he slept in Sulli- vans coal yard Monday night and that it was the intention of both he and Rupp to "roll' a drunkard in order to get some money that they might reach Newark, N. J. That is why they purchased the revolver, Sergeant McCue said.
 When sentenced by the judge the boys promised to secure work in q New Britain factory and live at home with their parents. Judge klett warned them that in case they were arrested again they would be sem fenced to Cheshire.

 JITSI:ys

No one should get the idea that
 the iitneys are "all right" just be-
 cause there is lot Of complaint ovel
 the trolley service and some actions
 or tho Connecticut company. There
 are many things about tho trolieys tG
 be criticized. and the attention has
 been called to the company's errors
 Of omission and commission with con
 siderable frequency. Moreover the
 jitneys in this city are serving great
 many people and arc serving them we'll More than this there arc sec
 tions Of the city. where lacking | trolley line. there would seem to be a good field for the iitney.
 The iitneys stand pretty well at the moment, But. merely because the trolley company is not especially pop ular. the jitneymen should not thinl; ,. they can do no wrong. They should see to it that they do not kill the goose that lays the golden egg" said "egg" being the money taken in by the jitneys. The goose would indeed be killed or mortally wounded if the .jitney men do not see to 1t that the drivers of their vehicles take great care to so manage their busses that no accidents result and people are not frightened out of their wits.
 The matter is referred to because of complaints that have been heard of several instances where iitney ! drivers, skillful though most of them may be, have driven in a manner that seems to endanger smaller cars and their passengers. Arch street, for in stance, is busy street, cars are park Cd along it necessarily, for short periods Of time. Sometimes the traf- fic though free. i5 considerable. Drivers of jitneys should see to it that they do not have 'close slaves" which may or may not result in acc10entS. It IS sometimes dl1loSt dS bad to be frightened half to death as to have the mud guard of one's car scraped. Even on Shuttle Mea- dow avenue, where there is no great amount of traffic, an instance has been reported where one of the great ] busses was driven in such a way that man driving a smaller car on the | right-hand side of the road, barely | escaped collision with the larger | vehicle.
 Realizing the good work being done by the jitneys, and appreciating the low fare charged, this warning is given in order that such good work may continue. constant stream of as to the manner in which jitneys are driven would be followed by action by the public utilities com the disadvantage of in- nocent people who need the jitneys. And the warning is given in the most friendly spirit. But the warning is given, nevertheless.

Every Member of Senior
 Class Hunks in Exams

Central Square, N. Y., June 2S.-- Failure of all members of the 1923 senior class at Central Square High school to pass regents examinations and the forced abandonment of com- mencement exercises planned in ad- vance, has resulted in an investiga- tion of the board of education and the school faculty.
 Parents of children, who were scheduled to be given diplomas sac- count for the failure of the class to pass the test, in the alleged lack of interest shown by the school officials.
 Pupils in the senior class were so certain of graduation that all details of the commencement exercises had been arranged.
