in ring bout here in Seattle, as
well as Portland, Tacoma. Everett,
Aberdeen and other Northwest cl-
ties, the patrons have gone away
knowing full well that they have
more than been well repaid for at
tending the shows. This Is some
thing that few other boxers can
boast Of. Seattle fans are for Les
lie Carter, and for him strong.
In Vic Foley the wild Cat will
meet one of the strongest opponents
available as an adversary for him.
Foley and Carter met last Decem-
Der at the Crystal Pool. 1t was Car
ter's fourth main bout in fast COM
pany. AT the conclusion of high
ly sensational contest of six rounds
Foley was awarded the decision.
There was much doubt as to wheth-
err the verdict was correct. In
fact, many boxing fans, among them
men who are experienced in boxing
matters, among them Biddy Bishop.
Roy David, Jack Downing and 9TH
ers, who emphatically stated that
Carter was at least entitled to a
draw. Be that as 1t may, the fact
remains that Carter is meeting a
man in Vic Foley who is rated
close to the top. Foley recently
took a decision from Doc Smell.
This alone shows Foley's calibre.
Tuesday nights bout should
prove a great one and if Carter con
do as sensationally we'll as he did
last month against Doc Smell then
the fans viii more than get their
moneys worth.
Lonnie Austin and Biddy Bishop
are staging the show and they have
a fine list of preliminaries to pre-
cede the main bout

be not so sitting toward the center of
the tunnel. He moved only two or
three PAGES when the terrific pounding
of his heart and the protest of his tor
tured lungs forced him to lie still and
rest. For several minutes he lay mo-
tionless, save for the heaving of his
chest, matching his wits against the
hardest problem he had ever faced.
OF sudden something chill and wet
fell upon his face 1t was a mere
drop of moisture, but it felt like ice to
his parched skin, causing every nerve
to culver. The contact acted like an
electric st1mulant on his mind.
He lay rigid. eXpectant, wondering
why the trivial occurrence should af
| feet him so strangely, and presently
another drop of moisture splashed
against his forehead sending an icy
shiver down his spine
Suddenly he jerked up his head,
striking it against the roof of the tun-
mel. In a twinkling he had grasped
the significance of the dropping mois-
ture. There must be a leak in the
vault of the passage, and the soil
above was probably soft and porous,
enabling the tiny globules of water to
percolate.
The deduction Jolted the last rem.
nant of stupor out of his body He
wits kindled his nervous energy He
ran his hand along the roof, locating
the point where the moisture was
seeping through. The arched vault
was supported by boards running in
n longitudinal direction and braced at
intervals by diagonal props. He gave
a hoarse shout of elation as he noticed
that the boards were rotting from in
filtration of moisture
He had forgotten the agonized
straining of his lungs for air His ex-
ploring fingers found q point where
the ends of two boards came together
Taking tool from the metal case, he
inserted it In the joint and pried.
After a few vigorous wrenches the
board bent downward. Now he
gripped its edges with his fingers and
lifting himself from the floor of the
tunnel, forced it down by the sheer
weight of his body 1t snapped, and
he pushed it down the passage, then
attacked the next board. 1t gave
more easily than the first, and now
he began to claw and scratch his way
through the damp earth. Remember
ing the length of the incline at the
farther end of the passage, he judged
that the layer of soil could not be
more than four or five feet deep.

Clump after clump of dirt fell at his

stratum of gravelly soil that yielded

More Recruits For Jobless Army

A serious slump in the basic indus
tries is the outstanding feature of the
U. S. Department Of Labor employ
ment report for August. Employment
in manufacturing industry as a whole
is shown to average $3.50 below Aug
ust 1926 but in iron and steel lumber
products, stone, clay and glass and in
the manufactur Of automobiles and
railroad equipment the declines from
a year ago are much more severe.
The August report shows practic-
ally no recovery from July when en-
ployment reached level 12.7@6 below
the average for the year 1923 and
2O%o below 1920. This means that
about 100000 workers who were on
factory payrolls in 1920 have been
forced to look elsewhere for chance
to earn living.
The report shows that in August
only 1870 of the establishments were
operating with full normal forces and
10 were idle. Considering all the
factories as branches of a single great
concern industry is found to be oper-
ating 979o of full time with 8796 of
full normal force or at about 1870
of full time capacity.

tories wages this August fell $3.50

age weekly wage this year was S25.68
a slight reduction from August 1926.
The all important iron and steel
groups including the iron and steel
mills proper and in addition the max
ers of iron pipe, machinery, stoves
and foundry and machine shop pro
ducts, is operating with $40 fewer
workers than in August 1926 En-
ployment in the lumber industry in
Guiding millwork and the manufacture
of furniture has fallen off $50 from
a year ago. The reduction in employ
ment in the oil industry amounts to
so, in the brick industry so and in
tn automobile industry $3.50. Rail
road car shops have reduced their
forces $3.50 from a year ago, manu-
facturers Of agricultural implements

The country has been expanding its
productive power more rapidly than
the purchasing power of its workers.
AS result unless great foreign mar
kets can be developed, the present
slowing down will develop into a peri
cd of more severe depression with its
usual accomplishments, unemploy-
ment and wage cuts.

Corn and Seed Show and the Sheridan County
Fair, which takes place Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, October &c, q and 28tb
This fair will bring people from all over Mon
tana and the northwestern part of North Dakota
to Plentywood, affording an occular demonstration
of the superiority of this section of Montana as
farming country which will no doubt result in the
bringing in of number of new farmer home
makers to this community
For once they see with their own eyes, they
will realize what this section actually is-for see
ing is believing.
Another thing-our own people, viewing what
has been done in this country, and having chance
to compare notes with neighbors, will take renewed
interest when the better approaching the fact OF
the resources OF this section, and will be con

worth his while in more ways than one-both from

How Gals republican national

spite the prolonged depression which

right down to 1926 the New Bedford

Recent figures appear small only
when compared with the excessive
payments of the war years.
New Bedford cotton mill dividends
in 1926 totaled $2,812,OOO, an amount
larger than any year prior to 1916
and nearly 100000 over the 1914

hours and increase per capita produc-

In the Durham coal field, accordine
to a special correspondent Of the Lor-

unemployed miners out of a total OF
$4,000. Barely quarter of the min

been stepped up about 20%. Yet the
field is operating at a deficit below
what the bosses consider a fair return

reduction of the minimum wage.
The number of unemployed coal
diggers throughout the United King

AS pointed out by labor members of

and lower wages have not touched the
problem.
