FEW SKILLED IMMIGRANTS
Building Trades Gain Little From

According to a recent report issued

male immigrants We're admitted to
this country during the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1925.
OF this number 1906 were Carpen-
tiers. 900 We're painters and GLACIERS,
1877 were plumbers. 3,276 were ma.
sons. 521 were stonecutters and ol2
..heet metal workers. During this
same period $780, common laborers
were admitted. Figures are not avail
able showing the Classications of peo-
pie leaving the country during the
past fiscal year, but In all probability
the net gain of immigration over emf
grafton Is almost negligible. Thus an
other strong argument in favor of APP
prentice training in the construction
industry is presented.

One of Carbon counties industries
that has not been advertised to as
great an extent as others is the Jol-
let Flour Mills Co. at Joliet; and on a
visit there several interesting items
were CLEANED; one being that they are
engaged at full capacity for the sea-
son; that their flour is in great de-
mand by the leading bakers and groc-
ers in Montana. The grain used in
this mill is raised on rotated ground in
the vicinity Of Joliet, on land that has
previously been in alfalfa, sugar beets
or corn, and the result is wheat that
contains high percentage of protein,
and very suitable for milling purposes.
Those who have not tried their flour
should do so by all means, as it can't
be beat.
