Totals


In covering the employment situa-
ton in the west, Mr. Perrin says:
Full employment of all available
workers in the twelfth federal re-
serve district was reported during
May. Skilled laborers in all lines
of work are in active demand and
unskilled workers are finding employ
ment on the farms, in the lumber
camps, in mines and in highway and
general construction work. The need
for building trades workers continues
abnormally large.
The strike of loggers and woods
men called during the last week of
April in the numbering regions of the
Pacific northwest ended early in May,
practically all of the men affected
having returned to work June /. The
number of men employed in the ten
principal numbering districts of Ida
no, Oregon, and Washington reached
$4,000 on June L, 1928, compared with
10000 on May 1, 1923, and $4,000 on
June 1, 1922 In the coast territory |
of Oregon and Washington a con-
siderable number of men have found I
employment in the fishing industry,
which now enters upon it's period of I
season activity.
In the intermountain states (Ari-
iona, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah) the
continues to increase.
Full employment of unskilled workers
and few shortages of skilled miners
and building trades workers have
been reported. In California, i'll adj
dition to the usual demands for wor-
kers in the industries mentioned
above, there has been added the can
ming and packing industry, which en-
ploys a large number of both men and
women at this season. During the
Last five months wages in most of the
industries of this district
have advanced. Present wages of
workers in the agricultural, lumber
ing, mining and metal trades indus
5ries are from five to fifteen per cent
above those of one year ago. The
cost of living increased during the
same period by 3.5 per cent

the territory of Montana out of the
eastern portion of Idaho, and the
bill was signed by President Lincoln.
Edgerton became the first territorial
governor while Sanders was made
one of the first United States sena-
tors from Montana when it merged
from a territory into a state a quar-
ter of a century later. A monument
to Sanders stands in the state house
at Helena, and a county in western
Montana is named for him. Edger-
ton was not so we'll remembered. A
county was named for him and the
name was afterwards changed to
Lewis and Clark.
So the first pugilist in Montana
was a factor in the creation of a
great state. Orem, a blacksmith,
afterwards settled in Dillon, where
he lived and piled his trade for many
years and raised a large family. Will
liam Orem, formerly state mine in
spector, was his son One of Orem's
most cherished possessions was a.
gold belt, worth several thousand
dollars which he won in a fifty round
battle, with bare knuck1es, in Vir-
GINA City. Bannack, which was
made the territorial capital, lost it
a few years later to Virginia City,
more populous camp, and is now
one of the ghost cities of Montana.

GREAT FALLS STUDENT WINS
MANY HONORS AT ANN ARBOR

John W. Kelly, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. c. Kelly of Great Falls, gen
orally referred to as Jack Kelly,
was recently elected president of the
Student council at the University of
Michigan.
Kelly is a Junior in law at Michi-

come to a man.
Kelly is a graduate of Belt high
school and is a nephew of President

THREE MONTANA WOMEN
MAKE FLIGHT in AIR

Word comes from Great Falls thai
a new aerial record for Montana has
been set in the carrying of three
women passengers from White Sui
phur Springs to the Power city. The
trip occupied SO minutes in the six
passenger plane operated by Earl
Vance, who has been doing much
flying around the state advertising
the Dempsey-Gibbons fight at Shelby
next month.
The passengers were Mrs. Charles
Wight, Miss Laura Donaldson and
Miss Emma Driedlein of White Sui
phur Springs. The start was made
from the Dick Ringing ranch at
White Sulphur Springs.
1t was not the speed that Vance
made to Great Falls wherein the rec
ord rests, but the fact that it was
the first time in Montana that three
members Of the fair sex had ridden
in an airplane at the same time.
Although the time made was the
minor part of the record, it is the
fastest which has aver been made be-
tween White Sulphur Springs and
Great Falls, a trip which, If taken
by train, would take over a day and
by auto generally takes over five
hours.
DR.. Charles Wight, whose wife was
n of the passengers, is in charge
of the Ringing herds at the famous
ranch in Meagher county. He is the
nephew of the late Charles Wight,
for many years on the editorial staff
of the Standard in Anaconda.

SECOND 100000
PAYMENT MADE
TO DEMPSEY

A certified check for $780, 900,
second payment due Jack Demp-
sey under his agreement to fight
Tommy Gibbons, was paid over to
Jack Kearns, his manager, in
Great Falls a few days ago. The
money was furnished by q group
Of Great Falls and Shelby men, in
Guiding George H. Stanton of the
Stanton Bank and Trust company,
Shirley and Lee Ford of the Great
Falls National bank, Arthur and
Russell Strain, of Strain Brothers,
Dan Tracy of the Park Hotel,
Mayor Jim johnson of Shelby and
others. At the instance of these
cash guarantors, Dan Tracy, min
ing man and hotel owner, and
prominent in the Montana bust
ness world for many years, took
over the management of the big
bout, which is certain to meet with
popular approval.
The money was forthcoming
after q most strenuous "a hours.
When it became due, the promot-
ers, who had depended on seat
sales to take care of the second
big payment, and which had failed
to materialize, appealed to this
group of Great Falls business men
to save the situation, which was
done. AS a matter of fact the pay
ment of the second big installment
of the guarantee fund and the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Tracy as mana
ger will have the effect of turn
ing into the fight treasury M
thing like ~$4OO,OOO, due on tick
cts that have been reserved, but
ON which payment had been with
held until after the second in
stallment had been paid and the
fight assured. Money began to
flow into the fight treasury imme-
diately after this news became
public.
II have consented to become
of the promotion with the
distinct understanding that 1 will
be the boss" said Mr.. Tracy in a
statement to newspaper men after
the 100000 draft had been de-
livered to Kearns. II shall take
over the reins and hire and fire
according to what I con-
slider to be the best interests of the
bout. In dealing with you news
paper men 1 shall place the cards
On the table face up; there will be
nothing withheld from the press"

life under the British standard. He
thanked General Mitchell for his Of
fer, but declined the promotion.
IF England wants to win this war
she will have to keep the Irish in the
ranks to do the. fighting" was his
~jocular explanation.
"Give me an army of men like that
and I could conquer the world Gen
eral Mitchell is alleged to have re-
marked after Duane had left.
Cited for Gallantry
Duane emerged from the Crimean
campaign decorated with the Grim
can al medal and a special clasp
for bravery shown during the fight
ing at Sebastopol. Besides being
cited for bravery by the British Off
GERS, his deeds attracted the atten-
ton of the Turkish officials, and the
Sultan of Turkey bestowed upon him
that coveted decoration, the Crescent
of Turkey. He was one of 10 men
in his regiment who were credited
with never missing an hours duty
or a bugle call during the campaign.
In the spring of 1856 Duane's
regiment was moved to Malta, again
under the command of General Pen
nyfeather, and later from Malta to
Gibraltar, where it was given to the
command of General Williams. A
year later the regiment was trans
ferred to Hongkong, China, where it
was stationed under the command
of General S~trabenzy.
When Minister Pang Wanching ca
tegorically refused the provisions of
the ultimatum presented to China by
the British ambassador, demanding
an immediate apology, the payment
OF $12,000,000 indemnity, and a ra-
tification at Pekin of the treaty of
Tien-tsin, nothing remained but war.
Sir Hope Grant, a hero of the Indian
mutiny and of E%ngland's first war
with China, was placed in charge of
the English troops at Hongkong.
In Advance on Pekin
Duane was with his regiment at
the fighting at the Taku forts at
Pehtang, which opened the way to
Tien-tsin. This engagement was
followed by the one at Chan-chia-
Wan, which placed Pekin at the
mercy of the allied English and
French forces. He was with the
English when they entered Pekin,
but, unlike many of the other sol
diers, refused to take part in the
loot1ng of the summer palace of En-
peror Hsien-Feng.
1t was during the advance on
Pek1n that Duane's adventurous
spirit and love for devilment resulted
n an amusing incident. The resist
ance shown by the Chinese at Chan
had been sufficient to
make the British commander hest ]
ate before advancing further. Ur- '
cent orders were sent to Sir Robert I
garrisoning Tfen-tsin, to
BRING such reserves as he could '
pare. During the interval that clap 9
before the arrival of fresh troops, a
riders we're given the soldiers that c
ney were not to modest the Orientals a
q any way. a
One day Duane and another Irish {
Older got into an argument regard e
ng the range of an old smooth-bore q
annon that had been captured from
Chinese. In order to prove to Il
ls companion his own idea of how l.
