The Beartooth mountain region
of Red Lodge and Carbon county
has become the mecca of biologists
and scientific expiditonarv groups
DR.. William T. Thorn, Jr., asso-
ciate professor of geology at Prin-
ceton, arrives in Red Lodge today
to confer with local research com
mittee with regard to the 1881
Princeton University expedition,
which will spend its second sum-

MATT PAkKALA, NOW
IN ENGLISH SCHOOL,
VISITS IN FINLAND

Matt Pakkala, Red Lodge youth
and Montana's 1929 Rhodes schol-
ar at Oxford University in Eng
land, is scheduled to deliver a ra-
dio address over a London broad
casting station sometime during
the month of February. His talk
will embrace his impressions of
Finland, the country of his birth
which he visited for 8 weeks last
summer. Prior to the recent trip
he remembered nothing of the
COUNTRY as his parents brought
him to the United States and Red
Lodge when he was an infant.
He writes that he was greeted
everywhere by hosts off Finnish
people-friends of his family and
strangers alike-who were eager
to learn about relatives and friends
In Red Lodge. He visited many of
the historical places of the small
republic and was royalty enter
tanned in Finland's capital, Hell
singfors; also at Viipuri, Savon-
lima, Kuopio, Vaalas, Ouluu, Klaus
linen and at Vetellisa. He writes
that he became so attached to the
country during his brief visit that
he left it with profound regret,
and expressed the hope that some
day he would have the opportun-
ity to attend the Helsingfors uni
versity. He visited at the homes
and with friends of numerous To-
cal Finnish families, among them
being with parents of DR.. and Mrs.
K. Koski at Kokkola. His sum
mer itinerary also included short
visits into Germany and Sweden.
He has been broached upon the
subject of teaching in English
schools of higher learning but as
yet has made no indication of his
plans after his graduation from
Oxford which will not be until an
other year.

RED LODGE CANNERY
HAS BIG SHARE IN
VEGETABLE OUTPUT
FIVE STATE CANNERIES LOOK TO
MONTANA PEOPLE TO CON-
sumo STATE PRODUCTS
EXPERIENCE SATISFACTORY 1880
PACKING SEASON, SAYS STATE
DIVISION OF PUBLICITY

Fruit and vegetable canneries Of
Montana, which are looking to
the people of the state for patron
age In order to enable them to dis
pose of their output and to create
a market for the expanding pro-
ducts of the farms and orchards of
the irrigated sections, experienced
most satisfactory packing season
in 1880, according to information
gathered by the state division of
publicity.
The combined output of the five
canneries of Montana was equiv
alent to three solid railroad trains
of more than 100 cars each. Ac-
cording to records of the 1880 pack
obtained from the several canneries
491, 194 cases of "a cans each, or
total of 11,788,656 cans of veg
etables and fruit, were packed in
Montana during the recent season.
Reduced to car lots, each carrying
10000 pounds, the minimum car
load, this means a total of BOT cars.
Naturally, much of this pro-
duct is marketed in the state, but
to consume the entire output great
quantities must find markets in
other states, in which undertaking
the managers of the canneries are
seriously handicapped by coming
into competition with canneries in
other states located closer to the
great consuming centers and from
which the freight rates are much
lower than those from the Mon
tana canneries.
The Montana packers have the
advantage of producing the very
highest grade of peas, beans, car
rots and cherries raised in the
country, but this is fact of which
the average consumer in other
states is unaware. An increased
home demand for the Montana pro-
duct would obviate much of the
Aihe@dN oiisoSt W WHICH jIlG VIDE-
tana packer is subjected by dis
lance from the principal markets.
The classes of vegetables and
fruits packed in 1880 by the several
Montana canneries were as fol
lows:
Red Lodge Canning company,
Red Lodge-peas, beans and car
rots.
Bozeman Canning company, Boz
man-peas and beans.
Ravalli Canning company. Stew
ensville-peas, beans, sour cherries
and sauer kraut.
Midland Canning company, Bill
lngs-corn, pumpkin and sauer
kraut.
Bitter Root Cannery, Hamilton
sour cherries and pumpkin.
The combined pack of these sew
eral canneries for 1880 was:
Peas-367,816 cases; beans-67,-
926 cases; corn-23,600 cases;
sauer kraut-13,00O cases; pump
kin-9,500 cases; sour cherries
1852 cases; carrots-600 cases.
