LOS ANGELES, January 16.-The
earthquake which shook a large sec
ton of Southern California late yes
terday was found today to have regis
tered more sharply in the inland noun
tain areas, although no appreciable
damage was reported.
Two distinct quakes. at AIS and
ABS pm, were felt generally from the
sea eastward to the Coachella Valley,
and from San Diego to the Mojave
Desert.
Faint Tremor Earlier.
DR.. Harry L. Wood, seismologist OF
the California Institute OF Technology
at Pasadena, said his instruments in
dicated there we're three tremors, the
first, very faint, at 3:25 pm.
The epicenter of the quake, Dr.. Wood
estimates, was approximately 1877 miles
from Pasadena. It's direction cannot
be determined. however, until film from
the sealed seismograph is developed.
An accurate check of the intensity of
the shocks also awaits development of
the film. 1t appeared probable that
the quake reached its greatest severity
in sparsely populated or uninhabited
mountain sections.
Reports from mountain regions with
in the known quake area indicated the
shocks there exhibited jolting charac-

Ship Manned For Missoula
is To BE Scrapped Soon

NHISSOULA'S own Warship, the cruis-
er Missoula, is destined for the
scrapheap. Bids for the venerable
craft have been opened by the navy
department and the ship probably will
be sold to the wreckers at once, &C
cording to word from Washington.
The Moore Dry Dock company of
San Francisco offered the highest bid,
$83, 800. The lowest bid was that of the
Spokane Metals company, which was
willing to pay only $780, 6 for the old
ship as junk.
The Missoula, acting as a convoy for
American troops during the World war,
made Is trips through the submarine
zone unscathed. 1t was known then as
the Montana, the name having been
changed during the war, when the
name Montana was assigned to a 43,200
ton battleship. The Montana never
was completed. Under the terms of the
Washington naval treaty the big ship
was scrapped before it was finished.
After the armistice the Missoula re-
turned 5000 American soldiers from
France to the United States.
Construction Of the armored cruiser
now known as the Missoula was au-
thorized by congress in 1904 and made
it's maiden voyage in the summer Of
1903. 1t was decommissioned in 1921
and has been lying at the Puget sound
navy yard since.
Another cruiser of the same type,
the Charlotte, will be scrapped at the
same time.

SURPLUS OF LABOR
in STATE, REPORT
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ISSUES
REPORT OF CONDITIONS IN
MONTANA

A general surplus of labor was ap-
parent throughout Montana during
September, but fall harvesting was
expected to absorb a considerable
part Of it, said the monthly summary
made public by the employment di-
vision of the United States depart
ment of labor.
The report, in brief, said further:
Smelter plants worked below normal,
while metal mining activities were cur
tailed and several mines closed. Many
sawmills remained inactive, while
others worked part time. Canning fac
tories started seasonal operations the
latter part of the month on a three
shift daily basis.
Coal mining increased somewhat. Oil
field activities were maintained on q
fairly steady basis. Logging operations
continued below normal. A decrease
in building and general construction
was reported. Work continued on the
large highway program giving employ
ment to many men.
At Billings there was a material in
crease in employment in September; at
Butte copper mining and smelter plant
activities showed a further reduction;
at Helena a slight improvement in
employment was noted; at Great Falls
a surplus of labor prevailed, and at
Missoula. some increase in employment
occurred in September except in con
nection with logging and sawmill OPP
erations.

BUSINESS BOOMS
AT CHINOOK MILL

WITH NIGHT AND DAY SHIFTS,
OFFICIALS REPORT

Due to the prevailing price of wheat,
the Milk River Milling company at
Chinook is doing a flour business never
before equalled in the history Of the
firm.
Farmers from all northern Montana
are bringing wheat to the mill to ex-
change for flour. The exchange ratio
is three bushels and twenty pounds OF
wheat for 100 pounds of flour.
According to Harry Harlem, manager
of the mill, farmers are coming from
as far east as Hinsdale, as far west
as Chester and from the Canadian
border to the Missouri river.
The mill has a 100-barrel capacity

Western Boy
is Healthiest

"NFY little son, Lee Boyce, had
IVA whooping cough" says Mrs.
Sam Heyman, 300 Haynie Ave-,
Dallas, Tex. He was having a hard
time until | heard of California Fig
Syrup and got him some. The first
few doses regulated his bowels; bright
ened him up marvelously; even
seemed to ease the coughing spasms
a great deal.
81 have since used Fig Syrup with
my boy during colds or upsets. 1t has
been a wonderful help to him; has
assisted in making him the strong
boy you see-perhaps the healthiest
one in our neighborhood."
For more than fifty years, mothers
have praised California Fig Syrup.
Leading physicians advise its use
with bilious, h~eadachy, constipated
children, or to keep the bowels open
during colds or children's diseases.
Children love its rich, fruity flavor.
1t tones and strengthens weakened
bowels; helps make children robust.
Look for the name California when
buying. That marks the genuine.

but in the present rush of business it

discontinue hauling for two months
that possibly all orders could be filled,
AS it is, each farmer is allotted 200
pounds at a time.

FALLS-MISS0ULA
ROAD IS PLANNED
CADOTTE PASS ROUTE WOULD
PROVIDE HIGHWAY ONLY 160
MILES IN LENGTH

Possibility of a new highway on
Meeting Missoula and Great Falls, by
way Of Lincoln and Ovando, is re-
vealed by E. M. Hulce, federal en-
gineer, viewing the route.
The road, he said, might connect
with the Helena Great Falls road at
Wolf Greek or go through Cadotte pass
into the Sun River country. The latter
route would be 100 miles long, a saving
Of five miles in distance, but would
require 40 miles of new construction.
The federal bureau also announces
that bids will be received next spring
for construction Of another section of
the scenic transmountain highway in
Glacier park. About ST, 900 900 has
been spent in construction to the top
of Logan pass. The new work would
extend the road to st. Mary's junction,
four and One-half miles.

down in the water as porpoises near

All of a sudden Uncle Wiggily saw
something bobbing up and down in

A MORSE SAGA

Nothing more thrilling and dramatic
could be written by the most inspired
novelist than the actual story of the last
days of Solomon August Andree, polar
explorer who died 33 years ago, and
whose body has just been brought back
from the barren wastes of White Island.
Alone in that terrible country after his
two companions had died, the intrepid
adventurer, who dared face the unknown
in flimsy balloon, Just as daringly
faced death when there was no possible
escape for him from the fate that was ov-
ertaking him.
With a faint hope that sometime, some
how, civilization might find track of him,
Andree took careful measures to protect
his records, so that those who came after
him might know the story of him and his
companions.
Weakened by cold, hunger and eXhaus
ton, he carefully bound his diaries in
protective covering, placed them beneath
his body and composed himself to await
the death which was gradually claiming
him.
For 33 years they lay where he had
placed them, guarded by his bones. un-
til found bv DR.. Gunnar Horn and his eX-
ploration party.
Carefully removed and cared for by
him. Andree's records are as yet secret,
but eventually the world will know what
thev contain. 1t hardly needs to wait for
the written words to be transcribed. Ihe
mute evidence thus far released stamps
Andree as a brave and fearless man
whose heroic end is a Morse saga that de-
serves a chapter Of it's own in the history
of the world.
