TN TWO instances related in our
daily press, Montana women have
- performed acts of herOism which
are rarely excelled. The first story
comes from Butte. A woman there-a
Mrs. Little, was awakened one night
by the barking of a dog confined in
the basement of her home, On going
down stairs to discover what caused
the dog to continue his barking, she
saw that a wOOdshed connected with
the rear of the house was on fire, and
the flames making rapid headway.
In the upper story she had just left, her
husband and two children lay sleeping,
unconscious Of the danger menacing sthem.
Running to the opposite side Of the house
from the fire. Mrs. Little called but could
not waken them.
The fire had made considerable headway
by this time, but regardless Of the flames,
she rushed into the house to ascend the
stairway, which was ablaZe, and in order
20 reach the upper rooms the brave woman
was forced to climb the stairs outside of
che banister in her bare feet. Her hair and
che nightgOwn she wore, were both
scOrched by the intense heat but she eS-
capped with no worse injury than a badly
burned arm.
She reached the rooms where her family
slept barely in time to save them, as the

officials.
There are no counties in class One
which includes all counties with valua-
lions over $5O,000,O0O. Cascade and Silver
Bow rate in class two, with valuations of
between 80 and so million dollars. Yellow
stone is the sole representative of class
three, 20 to 30 million dollars. Lewis and
Clark, MissOula and Fergus are in fourth
class, with between 10 and 20 million dol
lars valuation. Flathead and Gallatin rep
resent class five with between 10 and 10
million dollars.
The two lowest classes contain the re-
mainder; rather evenly divided. Glass six,
five to 10 million, with % counties; and
class seven, under five million, with 20
counties.
Fergus county since it's last classifica-
ton has lost the area now contained in
Petroleum county. Custer's drop is caused
by a cut in the valuations of mineral res
ervations which the state board found too
high. ChOteau and Prairie were just on

CUN'S HAS. FAVORABLE
OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS
Tendencies Conflicting, But Some
Phases Are Encouraging-Con-
fidence Has Strengthened.

NEW YORK. June 25 P).-Dun' s
today said the first half of the year is
closing with conflicting tendencies in
business, yet with not a few encourag-
ing phases plainly visible. Results in
some quarters during the last six
months have been disappointing, but
an unusually backward season mainly
accounted for the lack of a fun de-
&elopment of Spring trade. Recently
confidence has strengthened in differ
ent directions and in certain basic
lines there is more activity now than
is ordinarily seen at this period. Pro
gressive improvement in the steel in
dustry, with some price advances, has
been helpful to sentiment, while cur
cent reports note the largest sales of
pig iron since late in 1924. Despite
reduced building operations in some
sections, demand for structural ma
terial remains of substantial volume.
and buying of railroad equipment has
increased to stable proportions. With
such factors present and with most of
the principal crops showing better
ment, the general outlook has Il more
favorable aspect. Weekly bank clear
ings; $S,882 .144 900.
