visited more than 40 years ago.
Mr.. Thorpe, a slender, elderly
man, this morning visited the Car

from the archives the first plat of
this city, drawn in 1890. AS he
surveyed the old map he recalled
scenes and conditions as they were

PLAN LOCATION OF
HOSPITAL CAMP IN
WEST FORK CANYON

A party headed by DR.. Allard of
Billings last week inspected the
site of the st. Vincent's orthope-
summer hospital to be located on
the West Fork this summer. The
camp where crippled children will
be given mediaal care is to be near
Dutch creek, north of the West
Fork road, about 6 miles from
Red Lodge.
The forest service has made a
survey of the location, and con-
~struction of the camp will be
started within a week. Three build
ings are planned-a large mess
hall, a dormitory, and a convention
building.
A modern sanitation system, de-
vised to prevent the slightest polu-
ton of the West Fork water, will
be installed.
The orthopedic camp has been
made possible by business men of
Billings and Red Lodge, the Bill
ings Commercial club, and the
Northern Pacific railway, by do
nations of money, building mater
ials and transportation rates.

WATER COMPACT
BILL IS SIGNED
Leavitt's Measure Is First
Step in Course of Big
Horn Dam Project

Washington, June 15-(AP)-
President Hoover signed the Lea
witt bill granting congressional
consent to Wyoming and Montana
to negotiate a compact for divi-
/ sion of the waters of the Yellow
stone river.
The Yellowstone river compact
bill approved by President Hoover
on Wednesday gives Montana and
Wyoming authority to enter into
an agreement not later than Jan.
l, 1886, for an apportionment of
the water supply of the Yellow
stone river and such of its tribu-
taries as rise in Wyoming and flow
into Montana.
1T is conditioned that the pres
ident shall appoint a representa-
tive of the federal government to
participate in the negotiations,
and that to be binding any agree
ment reached must be approved by
the legislatures of Montana and
Wyoming and by congress.
The immediate purpose of the
Legislation is to provide for an al
location of the Big Horn river, d
Yellowstone tributary, boxing to-
ward the damming of the Big
Horn at a point about 45 miles
south Of Hardin. The site was Wis
tied on Nov. Is, 1881, by Rrepre-

RESEARCH CAMP IS
FOR ARRIVAL
OF GEOLOGY GROUP
Four Princeton Men Are
Establishing Survey
Headquarters

GENERAL members of the
y Cooperative Research ex-
petition arrived this week
from Princeton university,
which institution is sending
its biologists for the third
year into the B eartooth
mountain area to carry on
scientific studies during the
summer months.
Kenneth Wilson and DR.. Jack
Satterly arrived at Red Lodge
Friday, after a motor trip from
Princeton. On Monday DR.. Harry
H. Hess and DR.. John T. Rouse
pulled in. DR.. Rouse, who will
be remembered as a graduate stu
dent member of the research group
last summer, received his doctors
degree at Princeton this spring.
The first arrivals are preparing
the camp at Piney Dell for occupa-
ton as expedition headquarters,
and are to make a preliminary ex-
cursion to the Hellroaring and
Line Creek p~lateaus.
Staff members of the expedi-
ton r expected to arrive within
a few days to begin organization
of the seasons research activity.
DIR. w. T. Thorn of Princeton uni
versity will again direct the work
in this area.
Last summer more than a score
of students representing several
colleges and universities in this
country studied the area bounded
by the Yellowstone park, the Pryor
mountains, the Big Horn basin, and
the Yellowstone river. The staff
of scientific workers directing the
work included DR.. K. nj. Field and
Prof. Erling Dorf of Princeton
university; Prof. e. L. Perry Of
Williams college; Prof. R. t.
Chamberlain of the University Of
Chicago; DIR. Arthur Bevan, Vir-
ginia state geologist; Prof. w. H.
Bucher of Cincinnati university.
The greatest accomplishment Of
the group last year was the COM
pletion of the geological ~guidebook
to the region, which contains the
results of two years exploration
and study. 1t is to be used as a
guide by the international Con-
gress of Biologists, to visit this
country next year. ~

COMPLETE RODEO
BOXING PROGRAM
Herman Knaub and Ridgby
To Meet in Return
Match July 4

Four box fights and a wrestling
match will be offered to sport fans
of this region July A, on the pro-
gram that will climax the three
day Red Lodge rodeo, bringing to-
gether Alex Knaub of Billings and
Ham Jenkins of Denver-two of
the best fighters in the West.
Knaub and the "Black Cannon
ball" from Colorado will fight ten
rounds to settle the dispute in
Billings last winter that ended in
a @draw." Both fighters will he

and ready to deliver for the local
fans.
The athletic committee-Henry
Albert, Thad Pound and James
Plunkett-has matched Pete Win
chester, welterweight of Worland,
Wyo., with "Huck Finn" Michelcic,
Washoe scrapper. They will fight
six rounds as a semiwindup.
An interesting bout is promised

man Knaub of Fromberg and Buck
Ridgby of Belfry will meet in a
four-round fight. These boys, both
tough middleweights, boxed on the
Memorial day card at Red Lodge,
Knaub hanging a kayo on Ridgby

by the way, is a younger brother
and protege of Alex Knaub, state
middleweight champ.
The first boys to work in the
ring on the night of the Fourth

ayers have included a ten-minute
wrestling match between a couple
of local boys known to be prof.
cient on the mat. Stanley Krop
and Joe Regis, middleweights, will
do the tug-and-grunt act.
More than 300 ringside stage
seats are available for reservation,
with the main floor and balcony
of the Beartooth theater to be
filled at general admission prices.
Tickets went on sale this week
at the Red Lodge Drug company.

HIGHWAY WILL HIT
canyons SUMMIT
BY This WEEKEND
Switchback Grade Will Be
Attraction During Days
of Red Lodge Rodeo

RY the end of this week it
= is likely that the federal
highway grade at Quad
creek will reach the top of
the Rock Creek canyon wall,
as indicated by recent pro-
gress of the work, and on
July 3 the condition of the
road will enable rodeo-time
visitors to drive up and out
on the Line Creek plateau.
Wednesday the pioneer power
shovel of the Morrison-Knudsen
company was less than half a mile
from the point where the highway
will climb over the edge of the
canyon onto the mounain plain at
an elevation of 10000 feet. Seven
miles of the IL called for in the
Unit A contract had been built as
the construction machinery reach
ed the fifth level last week.
After emerging on the face of
the mountain from the short loop
over Wyoming creek, the grade
is being carried across the wall
for about half a mile before it
swings back over the top. 1t does
not cross Quad creek on the fifth
level.
Work on the road job has pro-
ceeded without incident except for
the loss of a truck last week. Sun
day night a truck working from
the power shovel on the top lew
ell backed too far out on the should
err of the grade and tumbled over.
Failure of the brakes was blamed
for the accident. Rex Mcclure, the
driver, bailed out of the machine
before it fell, escaping with minor
injuries while the truck rolled sew
eral hundred feet down the noun
tainside.
Such occurrences occasionally
happen despite the caution and
skill of the drivers on the job, who
represent the best truckmen to be
had, according to company Off
cials. For ordinary motoring pur-
poses the grade is safe, even at
this early stage of construction,
altho the route is closed to the
public during the building pro
cess.
BY arrangement of the Red
Lodge Rodeo association with A.
H. johnson, NIX superintendent,
the ~switchback route will be OPP
ened to public travel on two days,

Chicago's Costly Fire.

Memories of the great fire of October.
1871, in Chicago, which swept over
more than 1000 acres and destroyed
property valued at S187, 1000, 900 and. it
is estimated, three hundred lives, are
revived by the report of a conf1agration
which at this writing is still raging
The present estimate of the loss thus
lar is $6,000,000 trif1e compared with
the destruction of sixty-one years ago.
But the values in the area Of this pres
ent blaze are much more highly con-
certrated than at the time of the fire
OF 1871, and a spread to an area Of only
tenth of that covered by the great
conflagration would cause a loss even
greater than was then suffered. But
the structures Of the region now beSet
by the flames are much more substan-
tial than were those of 1871, which
were for the most part not even what is
now called fire resisting in material
Furthermore, the fire-fighting facilities
now are much more efficient than were
those then available. Yet there is a
point in these tremendous outbursts of
flame at which not even the largest
possible concentration of bumpers and
hose lines can make headway in re-
sistance. In some cases of furious city
fires the only means to check the flames
is to destroy by explosion properties ly
ing beyond the immediate reach of the
fire, to check its advance. 1t is prob
able that the fire in Chicago viii! be
conquered today. Already the loss,
however, is very heavy and partich-
larly grievous effect is the fact that the
destruction of the packing plant, which
was the chief sufferer, will throw at
least 1000 men out of work, adding
seriously to the economic problem with
which that city is now confronted.
