FOREST ARMY
LOCATES CAMP
IN BEARTOOTHS
Company of 200 Workers to
Be Stationed At Rock
Greek Campsite

A dozen tents were being set up
Tuesday afternoon beside the Red
Lodge-Cooke highway near the
canyon ranger station II miles
south of Red Lodge, and a score
of young men from New York
state were unpacking camp equip
ment-the first detachment of 200
members of the national emery
ency conservation corps who will
work in the Beartooth national
forest division this summer.
They arrived by train at Red
Lodge from Missoula yesterday
and were taken in trucks up the
canyon, where a camp for the COM
plete company is to be built at the
present location of the advance
camp. Before the end of June the
quarters will be ready, and there
will be a company of 200 men in
camp.
R. E. Fields, assistant super
visor of the Custer National for
est, will direct activity of the con-
servation company in the Bear
tooths, with the assistance of War
e Akers, Beartooth division
ranger.
In addition to the q men now
in camp, who are enlisted recruits
between the ages of IS and 25, the
forest service will enlist rs older
men, more experienced in forest
work, from Carbon, Saltwater and
Yellowstone counties. The local
men, said Mr.. Field, will work
with the young regulars" in
building the company headquart-
ers on Rock creek.
Forest service men will super
wise the crews in the field, but
otherwise the men will be under
army maintenance and regulation.
Capt. M. l.. Young, of field artil-
lery from Madison Barracks, N.
Y, is in command of the Bear
tooth company. Other army men
to be stationed here are First
Sergeant Charles Smith, Sgt. John
Lowstetter, Corp. Rodney Johnson,
supply sergeant, and Private
James Kolley, cook.
Reforestation will not be a large
part of the summers work, ac-
cording to Mr.. Fields, as the for
est crews will largely work on
projects to improve the recreat-
ional value of the forest. Trails
and roads will be built and inn
proved, as well as a number of
Beartooth campsites.
A new forest road is to be built
to East Rosebud lake, from the
lake to the forest boundary. The

HAAVISTO
BY r
FLARE AT MARINO'S

The John Haavisto house on
East Ninth street was destroyed
last Wednesday night by a fire
that burned for more than two
hours before it was checked by the
city fire department. The fire
truck was called out again Mon
day to take care of a blaze at the
rear of the D.. M. Marine prem
Uses on Broadway avenue.
Flames were discovered on the
roof of the Haavisto house about
10 o'clock Wednesday, the fire
having burned for some time in
side the structure before breaking
out through the roof. The family
had gone out for the evening. No
cause could be determined for the
fire other than that of an over
heated stove.
A few articles of furniture and
clothing were saved, but most of
the family goods we're lost. 1t
was estimated that the loss
amounts to $4,000, no insurance
having been carried. The house
was the property of Mr.. Haavisto,
who purchased it several years
ago from the mine company.
No damage was done at the
Marine premises Monday. Sparks
ignited the roof of a shed at the
rear, but the blaze was soon ex-
tinguished.

TWO-DAY RODEO
SCHEDULED FOR
JULY 81 HERE
Cornelio Has Concession
From Red Lodge Rodeo
Association

Red Lodge will have it's annual
rodeo on the Fourth of July this
year. the show to be an independ-
ent enterprise under management
of j. Nino little Buck) Cornelio
of this city, who is promoting the
affair on concession from the Red
Lodge Rodeo association.
At a special meeting of the as
ISOLATION last Wednesday night
the directors accepted the offer of
Mr.. Cornelio to stage the show,
with the assistance of the associa-
tion. Until then, the association
had made no plans for the annual
event that has become a Fourth of
July tradition at Red Lodge.
Bucks" plan is calculated to
keep the show from dying off, and
to pat on the rodeo in as lively a
style as before. Support of towns
people is requested in helping to
make a success of the rodeo this
year.
Lou Tunnicliff's string of buck
ing horses has been contracted for
use at the Red Lodge rodeo
grounds, which have been leased
from the association. The custom
airy features of the rodeo, parades
and contests for children, are
planned. A boxing card, to bring
in some of the best and most pop
ular maulers in the region, is be-
ing lined up.
The rodeo will be held July 3
and A.. Admission prices will be
10 and 25 cents, with a 10-cent
grandstand fee, to insure a large
attendance.
Free space for auto parking will
be available at the rodeo grounds
during the show, as part of the
plan this year. The regular adj
mission price of 25 cents will be
charged motorists occupying the
auto stalls as spectators, but
parking space inside the outer
fence of the arena will not be
charged for.

A ENGINEER TO
GET DATA ON WATER
PROJECTS IN STATE

Public works projects in Mon
tana which may be given to the
federal government for compile
ton under provisions of the pub
lie works act are being studied by
State Engineer j. S. James, who
announced Saturday that he had
been instructed by the Mississippi
valley water conservation COM
mission to prepare data in this
state.
Data will be obtained, he said,
on all the proposed public works
which largely would provide sup
Elemental water to present irriga-
ton districts and would afford
flood control.
The program, he said, would be
exclusive of the work which is be-
ing considered or is under study
by army engineers with relation
to flood control. The program will
include all water storage and wa
ter conservation work in the state
insofar as it can be surveyed and
brought together in a short time.
1t does not, however, contemplate
bringing new areas under irriga-
ton but primarily to provide for
the storage and control of flood
water as silt and the prevention Of
erosion.

How About
This?

1t has been talked about town
that, among other jobs to be per-
formed by the emergency conser-
walton corps in the Beartooths, the
small lake beside the Cooke road
near Camp Allen south of Red
Lodge, is to be drained and con-
verted for use as a camp grounds
and park, possibly as a recreation
ground for workers of the con-
servation corps.
This rumor not only produces
popular Indignation, but raises
the question as to whether the
idea is that of the forest service
staff, or a plan conceived by the
army officials of the corps. Peo-
pie of this city would like to
know who entertains such a plan
for the destruction of one of our
scenic and recreationaI sites.
The pool at Camp Allen is one
of the most beautiful places near
Red Lodge-enjoyed not only for
its scenic value, but for the fine
skating it offers in the winter
months. Rather than be drained,
it might better be deepened and
enlarged to provide a place for
swimming and boating that would
be available to the townspeople.
1t would take a New Yorker to
conceive the idea of creating an
artificial park from a natural syl-
van beauty spot. With all the
campsites and sparks now locat-
ed along Rock creek, an dthe
camps that are to be built, the
idea of draining Lake Allen to
make yet another park is both RI
diculous and crack-brained.
1t is a known fact that the for
est service has never attempted
to fit its plans and desires with
those of the Red Lodge people,
and seldom goes out of its way to
favor this city. IL would not be
surprising for us to learn that the
forestry department was in fav-
or of that idea. The forest service
and the commanding officer of
the Beartooth conservation corps
recently quashed another sincere
desire of Red Lodge club members
by f~orbidding the location of a
rifle range in the national forest
Incidentally, people of Red
Lodge would like to know why the
supplies for the Beart0Oth con-
servation company r being
shipped in from Helena, and
whether the services of local pro-

SINCLAIR LEWIS
SEES WAR LOOM
Writer Says AngIo-U. S
Friendships Only Way
to Save World.

By LHfcd Press
LONDON, Feb. 7.-Sinclair Lewis,
the writer, arrived here from the
continent Monday night, proclaim
ing that Anglo American friendship
could save the world from a new
war.
Lewis, protesting new found af-
lection for Great Britain, declared
his belief that modern civilization
is heritage worth keeping" and a
contention that the only countries
which have chance of retaining
it are America and Great Britain
Lewis, in an interview with the
Daily Express, advocated outright
cancellation of the war debts as
simply matter of good business
not sentiment"
His friendlineSs toward Britain
came as surprise, for British cri-
tics rarely have been kind to him
or his works. This was a result of
his sarcastic jibeS at Britain's in
sufficient steam heat and the iceless
cocktails, when Lewis visited the
British Isles ten years ago.
The novelist declared that central
Europe, where he has spent the last
six months, lis powder barrel"
There's going to be big explo-
sion there pretty soon," he prophe-
sled, and the only practice. safe
guard we have is infinitely more in
innate relationship between Eng
land and America"

Most of the world, except for the
United States and France, now is
off the gold standard, with curren-
cies deprecated.
Because Of this, they can sell
their goods cheaper, as far as
United States dollars are con-
cerned, in the United States and
elsewhere. But because the foreign
currency is debased with relation
to the dollar, our goods are much
too high for them to buy.
Accordingly, our export trade is
hurt. And our export trade, Secre-
tary Of Commerce Chaplin asserts,
still provides 100000 American
workers with direct employment,
even at the low 1882 level.
Going off the gold standard,
which would be involved in almost
any currency imitation plan, would
be intended to debase our currency
to point near a par with those
of foreign countries. This, it is
argued, would have the effect of
stimulating our exports, and would
help make our tariffs more nearly
effective against imports.
The case against initiation will be
discussed next.
