expected to make p;.rt at Tampa,
Fla, some time today. Clearance
papers for the Malvern were OBJ
tanned by the United States consul.
Cuban immigration and police au-
thorities breathed a sigh of relief
when the Malvern was gone. The
departure of Miss Porter solved

IN MEMORIAM

JAMISON-In sad and loving
memory of my dear wife and our
mother, Annie Catherine (nee Rea)
who passed away February ". 1927.
One year has passed since that sad
day,
The one we loved passed away
Day by day we saw her fade,
And slowly pass away.
Yet in our heart we often prayed,
That she might longer stay.
Through all her sufferings
At times she smiled,
The smile of heavenly birth,
And when the Angels called her
home,
She smiled farewell to us on earth.
Sadly missed by her husband and
daughters, Bertha and Anna.

Major Andrew Jackson (Jack) Fisk,
son of Mrs. Clara A. Fisk, has won dis
tincti0n in Piotrkow, Poland. Major
Fisk is n mining and construction en-
gineer. His father was A. j. Fisk, busi-
ness manager of the old Helena Herald.
Under date of October 8, the Chicago
Tribune says in its Paris edition as fol-
lows:
THE little city of Piotrkow, in south
ern Poland, boasts the most modern mar
ket building in the country, the work Of
the American firm OF Ulen and Company
of New York.
"Piotrkow, under the Russians an inn
portant administrative center, is now q
quiet city of $4,000 inhabitants. AL
though it did not suffer physical damage
during the war. the great conflict al
most ruined it economically. Further
more, the Polish government chose Lodz
as the administrative center for the dis
trict, which was an additional blow to
Piotrkow. leaving it only a second rate
city with greatly diminished business.
The city had no water system, no mod
ern markets, no refrigeration, no cold
storage, no sewers and very little idea OF
modern sanitary conditions. Then came
Ulen and Company which. in their con-
tract with the Polish government agreed
to do certain municipal work in Piotr-
koW. After Two years OF Work by tht
American firm, it is difficult to recognize
the former backward city.
Perhaps the greatest achievement IL
the new market building, the most mod.
ern in Poland. 1t has 1919 separate busi.
ness places, 40 outside shops and 49,
storage rooms in the basement also
cold storage plant and the first ice pro
ducing factory in Poland. Although th'
peasants at first were shy about usinl
the place, which was beyond their con
ception. practically all Of the stands anc
storage rooms have now been rented
THE Ulen work in Piotrko has beer
under the direction of Major Andrew j
Fisk who has succeeded and has won tn,
appreciation Of the general populace de
spite the opposition Of the Communis
element"
Following his discharge from the arm
after the World war Major Fisk was on
of five engineers sent by the American
government from Paris to Poland. Majo
Fisk visited Helena two years ago. Thi
is his second trip to Poland. Major Fis
has won other achievements includin
projects at Muscle Shoals in the Unite
States.
