BEGINS
ON UNIT c OF
FEDERAL ROAD
Motorists Find Improved
Drive From Red Lodge
to Lake Fork

Motorists who went on Sunday
to view progress of the road work
along Rock creek south of Red
Lodge were able to drive most of
the way to Lake Fork creek on
the newly finished grade of the
national forest link, section 59-A,
4.3 miles of road between Richel
lodge and the forest boundary at
Piney Dell.
The drive is now a matter of 20
minutes, rather than the former
1890 minutes. Complete except
for surfacing, the road cuts
straight up the canyon on the
west side of the creek, past the en-
campment of DR.. Siegfriedt, rim
ming the small lake near Camp
Allen, to join the old road about a
mile below Richel lodge.
Saturday morning the Morrison
Knudsen company started at that
junction point to connect the route
with the Unit A switchback road
that carries the highway up onto
the mountain.
Beginning at the lower end of
Unit G, the connecting link, the
power shovel manned by Ed Wood
all and Tom (Gas-Air Gus) Knox
went into operation at the outset,
where a bridge across Rock
creek is to be built, to carry the
road over to the east side of the
creek. On the east side the route
rises higher on the canyon wall as
it travels up the creek to meet the
first level of the switchback grade,
opposite the mouth of Hellroaring
creek. Clearing has been COM
pleted along this route. Eng
ineer Mitchell says that no
great amount of excavation will
be necessary, but that contractors
will have plenty of work in shelv-
ing the highway along the canyon
side. No heavy frost has occurred
to make excavation unusually diff
ficult, as yet.

High school. This week Coach A.
M. Hartwig began to line up a
team to represent the school
among the class B teams of the
district, drawing from the ranks
of 40 boys who T turning out to
play the hoop game. Carbon meets
Belfry in its first game, Deem
Der 8.
There are four lettermen with
experience on the Carbon High
team last year, who are likely con.
tenders for first string places this
season. Pete Zupan, rangy center,
is available, and so is "Nifty"
Dimich, forward. Charlie CUISINE
and "Big Finn" Laatikainen are
working out again as guards. Joe
Blaskovich, forward of last year,
recently left school.
Fifteen other candidates in the
first squads are lorna Haavisto,
Bill Grusonik, Toivo Liedes, Fred
Brown. Toivo Kangas, Joe Laugh
ney, Sam Cartwright, Dominick
Jurkovich, Bob Jurkovich, Ed Mar
chello, RENO Niemi. George Jarvi,
George Brown, Seikkula and Oliver

there are about 20 younger lads
who are working out in the second

with B~earcreek, December Is.
Carbon High, with the other
teams in the county, will play in
class B this year, according to the
plan adopted by the state high

high schools in the state in one
class or Conference" class A. All
others play in a separate division,
hold separate tournaments. Best
teams in class B have opportunity
to meet the teams of larger schools
in the state tournament. One ad-
vantage of the system is said to
be the elimination of some of the
tournaments that used to be neces-
sary in determining sectional and
district winners.
Carbon county high schools are
included in the sixth district, one
of 16 in the state. The Is teams
in the district are Carbon High,
Bearcreek, Belfry, Bridger, From

bouts he has boxed at Joliet.

Billings around the ring for four

the worlds barley championships
in the International Grain and
Hay shows of the preceding six

AS usual the honors went to a

were reduced 10 points to 6.25.
A feature of trading was the heavy
selling by the house operating for the

greater part in depressing prices than
hedge selling by spot interests. In fact,
one of the largest spot houses reported
less than a thousand bales sold against
purchases in the South compared with
price-fixing for the trade of two or
three times that amount.

STOCK EXCHANGE TOPICS

NEW YORK, November 10 R-
Foreign trade figures for October were
favorably interpreted, showing as they
old marked Improvement over Septem-
ber in both exports and imports and
substantially more favorable balance
to this country. On combined total
OF exports and imports 81 per cent
smaller than in october last year, the
excess OF exports was SAT 7,000, 900 COM
pared with $50, 900 in the same
month q year ago. For the 10 months
ended October 81 on a total business,
exports and imports, SO per cent small
er, the favorable balance was $780,
215, 900 against $3.50, ,298, 900 in Octo-
Der last year.
The report on freight carloadings for
the week ended November IL, proved in
line with preliminary forecasts show
ing decline Of 81 ,290 cars from the
preceding week. Railroad shares, how
ever, were unperturbed by this greater
than seasonal drop. On the contrary
with the news out of the way they
appeared inclined to do a little better.
Perhaps the report lacked influence
marketwise for the reason that it had
been pretty well discounted, but again
allowance may have been made for
mitigating circumstances entering into
the situation. For three weeks past.
however, 1t has been worthy of note
that the market has completely ignored
the showing of carloadings on their
appearance each Saturday, suggesting
Of course that with declining trend
normally due at this time little rea-
son for surprise existed.
Speaking of travelling, 1t would be
natural to expect that some Of our
active railroad officials would be found
well out in front in the ranks Of men
who spend good part of their time
on the move. The secretary of the head
Of one large Northwestern system re-
Gently recalled having kept log On the
movements of his chief two years ago.
His records show that individual
covered a total of about 1853, 200 miles
In the year, or an average of 400 miles
a day including Sundays. To put it
another way, this railroad man covered
each week mileage equivalent to i.6
times the distance Of round trip to
Chicago.
