Nuelsen of Cincinnati
Are Successful

The name Of Granite peak was
scratched on the tin cup that A

carries on the belt of his climbing
toys, and on which he records
names of peaks he has scaled.

HIGH HAS
APPROVAL OF N.C.A
Accrediting of School at
Red Lodge Guarantees
High Standards

G. R. Schmidt, principal of Car
bon County High school at Red
Lodge, has been notified that this
school has been accredited by the
North Central Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools for
the period ending April 10, 1884.
In explanation of the accredit-
ing of the school, Mr.. Schmidt has
been advised that it is the estab-
lished policy of the association to
prepare each year a new list of
approved secondary schools ac-
corded this honor, and that no
school is accredited by the North
Central association for a period
longer than one year.
The association is an accredit-
ing agency comprising 20 states,
and is the largest such agency in
the United States. It's object is to
establish closer relations between
the secondary schools and institu-
tions of higher education. Mem
bership in the association is vol
untary, and all decisions Of the
association bearing on policies and
management of schools are under
stood to be advisory.
Before any school can be consid-
cred for accrediting by the a%ssoci-
alton, it must be on the highest
list of schools approved and ac-
credited by school authorities of
the state. 1t also must meet the
associations standards in the re-
spect to the school building, its
equipment, records, instruction
and spirit, salary, training and
preparation of its teachers, and
the athletic relationship with 9TH
er schools in the state.
Graduates of an accredited high
school are privileged to enter in
situations of higher education
within the north central states
without entrance examinations,
provided that they have credits in
the high school subjects required
by the college or university for
admission. Since other accredit-
ing agencies recognize schools ac-
credited by the North Central as
ISOLATION, this privilege of enter
ing institutions of higher educa-
ton without examination is ex-
tended practically throughout the
United States.

.BEARTOOTH CORPS
HAS GOOD RECORD
FOR WORK, SPIRIT
Crews Now Building Roads
On Rosebud, West and
Lake Fork Creeks

Members of company 1923, C..
C. c., seem to enjoy their life and
work in the Beartooth mountains
surrounding their camp on Rock
creek, eight miles south of Red
Lodge, as the camp boasts of one
of the lowest "elopement" records
in the country, according to army
officials here.
Recently a call was issued for
25 volunteers from the Beartooth
camp for transfer to Missoula,
but no volunteers spoke up. Of
the original 218 men sent here
from New York state, the COM
pany has lost nine. Seven of those
"eloped," and the other two were
"railroaded" for obstinacy in re-
gard to picks, shovels, axes and
other implements of toll. Accord
ing to forest rangers in charge of
the working gangs, most of the
New York boys show a willing
ness, if not experiences, with trail
building tools and machinery.
From each of Uhe nine men
who left this camp, either volun-
tarily or otherwise" said Capt.
M. L. Young, commanding officer,
"we have received letters of gen.
uine regret that they did not stay
with the Beartooth gang"
County and city law officers
have but few names of "civies" on
their records. One boy was jailed
this summer for breaking a shop
window in Red Lodge. In his case,
his mates subscribed the money to
pay for the damage.
The moral of the corps has re-
manned high through the summer,
said Capt. Young. There has been
little Stacking or grumbling in the
performance of jobs.
Company 1928 has declared it.
self in the running for a medal
award as the best spirited, most
efficient group in the Ninth corps
area. The Army & Navy Journal,
through the war department, will
make this award to the best camp
in the northwestern states.
The forest crews have complet-
ed the new road to Tin Can camp
on Rock creek, and work is going
forward on the East Rosebud road.
About 30 men are building a new
grade to the lake from a point on
East Rosebud creek seven miles
below the lake. The road extern
sion on the West Fork will be fin
ished by September Is, and clear
ing on the Lake Fork road is COM
plete, according to R. E. Fields of
the forest service.
The newest campsite is being
built near Greenough lakes, near
the Cooke highway. This site will
be called Parkside.

|COzzENS MATCHED
WITH YOUNG HOAG
Boxing Card Arranged for
Sept. 2; Six Round
Main Event

A chance to scrap for the Mon
tana-Wyoming middleweight title
has been secured for Young Gin
ton Hoag, boxer of the Beartooth
conservation corps who has been
giving performances here this
summer. He is scheduled to meet
"Wild Man. Lou Cozzens of By
ron, Wyo., in Washington hall at
Red Lodge, Saturday, September
2.
The Hoag-Cozzens bout will be
a six-round fight as the main
event on a card arranged by
Henry Albert and Leland New
man, matchmakers and local pro-
moters of boxing. They have Sc
cured a state license to allow the
staging of bouts of more than
four rounds.
Lou Cozzens is the lad who de-
feated Iron Man All Webster last
month at Lowell, Wyo., to add the
Montana middleweight champion
ship to his Wyoming title. He will
step into the ring at Red Lodge
weighing about 100 pounds
real assignment for Young Hoag
Hoag, stocky, black haired
southpaw, has not yet lost a de.
cision in a bout here, and is pop,
ular with all fight fans who have
seen him work. His stamping
grounds used to be Fulton anC
Syracuse, N. Y, where, his RECORD
shows, he was one of the corners
In AZ bouts, he lost only three de.
cisions within the space of a few
months. He weighs 1856 pounds.
Cliff Gerhardt of Washoe, in
the semifinal, will take on a new
conner to the local ring, Nick
Spagetti of Joliet. Spagetti has
done quite a bit of mauling down
at his home town, but has never
appeared here.
Don Claus Of Fromberg, who
has been frequently carded at
Joliet, has been matched with Kid
Kellum, lightweight of company
1928, c. c. c., who has many be-
levers, not only among his bud
dies of the forestry corps, but
among the fans of this city.
Young Claus gave Kellum a
close fight at Joliet last Saturday
and is not the easy mark
for a left jab that most of Larry's
opponents seem to be.

MOUNTAIN SUMMIT
travelling on Unit G Of
Cooke Road Started
This Week

With the plateau covered by a
light skiff of snow Tuesday morn
ing, forces of the McNutt & Pyle
road building company on the Red
Lodge Cooke highway were con-
centrated on the section be-
tween Twin lakes and Gardner
lakes, in an attempt to complete
the grading work on the summit.
All machinery of Winston
Brothers, over on the Cooke end
of the highway, also is in full OPP

federal resident engineer, this
week.
Three power shovels of the Nc
Mutt & Pyle outfit which have
been used to build the grade from
the Clark's Fork river to the sum-
NIT of the B~eartooths, are now
working to complete the grade
over the hump on the plateau be-
tween Gardner and Twin lakes
Travel across the top is uncer-
tain because of the work now GO
ing on, and contractors are allow
ing no public auto traffic to inter
fere with their operations. The
route is frequently blocked while
shovels and trucks throw in fills,
and occasional dynamite shots in
the ledge rock make the road i'm
~passable. Motorists are advised
not to attempt driving over the
top without permission or advice
of the road builders.
The Morrison-Knudsen gravel
crusher, which has been grinding
out gravel for Unit A near Twin

being spread on the Unit C
stretch, between the NIX camp
and the G. C. c. camp, that new
grade is closed to public travel.
Autos can detour over the old for
est road past Richel lodge to the

A completely gravelled highway
from Red Lodge to Twin lakes,
26.2 miles away, and a grade over

Roosevelt Feels
Recovery Plans
Are Doing Well
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt was said in high
est quarters today to be feeling that
the recovery program is getting along
well, after a study of charts he has
Just received showing increases in EN-
ployment and the total wages being
paid.
Secretary OF Labor Perkins has re-
ported to him that the average hourly
wages have risen from AZ cents to 81,
while the average hourly work week
has declined from AZ hours to 36.
A special report by Government econ
omists asserts that the reaction in
production in some Of the major in
dustries is a result Of overproduction
between March and July and Is not due
to a lack of demand.
In other words, the report says this
recession from the July peak was to
be expected.
1t was between March and July that
the National Recovery Administration
to control production and hours Of work
was being organized.
Intensive production in that period
existed principally in the textile, leath-
er and steel industries.
The President credits the N. R. A.
with the increase in work wages and
the decrease in working hours.
From day to day and week to week,
he has been tracing the course Of his
program through statistics and charts
garnered and traced by expert advisers.
About these he has talked of and on
with those who call on him. The lat
est chart shows the prices received by
farmers for their products has increased
from the Spring up to october II from
an index figure of 40 to So, while the
prices paid by farmers increased from
the index figure 68 to II.
The index figures are based on the
level Of 1926 as a parity of 100.
This level has been represented as
the Administrations goal.

LOCAL PATRONAGE
ACTION DUE SOON
Roosevelt Tells Costello He
Will Name Commissioners
by November II.

President Roosevelt hopes to dispose
Of District patronage, including ap-
pointnients of two new civilian COM
missioners, before he leaves the White
House November II for a two-week
visit at Warm Springs, Ga.
The President so expressed himself
today during a conference in his Of
fee with John F. Costello, Democratic
national committeeman. He told Co.'S
tello he had been hard pressed for time
to give proper thought to these selec-
tions because Of so much other business,
but that it was his aim now to get
down to the subject and get it out of
the way before he leaves for Georgia.
There was some indication, however,
the President will appoint successors
to Leo A Rover as United States at
torney for the District, and Gen Mason
Patrick, who recently retired from the
Public Utilities Commission, before
naming the Commissioners.
Roberts Is Considered
Unlike the Commissioner posts and
the District attorneyship, the berth on
the Public Utilities Commission has
drawn few aspirants. w. A. Roberts.
assistant corporation counsel in charge
of Public Utilities matters, whose name
has been advanced by friends for the
Public Utilities Commission, is being
given serious consideration Whether
he will eventually be selected is not
certain at this time.
Todays conference between the Presi-
dent and National Committeeman Co.'S
tello was the first opportunity they
have had to get together for a long
talk since Mr. Roosevelt became Presi-
dent. They talked more than half an
hour and during this time are under
stood to have gone very generally into
the entire local patronage problem.
Costello Is Silent.
Mr.. Costello declined afterward to
discuss the nature Of this talk, but did
saw the President assured him that he
will try hard to dispose of the patronage
matter without further delay.
Mr.. Costello and his associates on the
Democratic State Central Committee
are known to be in favor OF the ap-
pointment of Malcolm McConihie to
the Board of District Commissioners,
and also to look favorably upon the
appointment to the same board OF
Ernest G. Walker.
For United States attorney the local
Democratic leadership has from the
very start been back of the candidacy
of Ralph A. Cusick II is understood
that the local Democrats also would
not oppose the appointment of Roberts
to the Public Utilities Commission, al
though the local organization has not
backed the latter for this place
formally.
