% YEAR OLD PIONEER
PASSES AWAY AT TROY

George Washington Allen passed
peacefully away Thursday, FEB 20,
about 1880 a. m. Mr. Allen had not
been sick and his end came suddenly
He had spent restless night, arose, ate
his usual breakfast about $3.50. AT lo;3o
he called Mrs. Caravan. She talked
with him and noted nothing unusual
about him. He expressed the wish to
rest until Alice Buckley returned home
with the daily paper when he would
read He asked fer his watch and
placed it carefully under his pillow
AT lilo Mrs Caravan fixed his tire
and he was sleeping. AT ll:4o Mrs.
Caravan again went to place wood on
his fire and expected to ask Mr.. Allen
what he wished for his lunch, but
turning from the stove to his bed, she
found that life had ceased. The BODY
was taken to Libby and brought 10
Troy Saturday afternoon Burial took
place Sunday afternoon at 800 from

He would have been SO years old the
goth day of March He married Maria
Caroline Walkinhood at Marshall,
Michigan, April 4, 1870 One son was
born to this union, Arthur Allen who
lived but seven years. Mrs. Allen pre-
coded Mr.. Allen in death 10 years ago.
Mr.. Allen was q veteran of the Civil
War, enlisting at the age OF 10 and
serving during the entire war.
Mr.. Allen was one of the real DO
neers of this region, coming to Kali
ispell with the construction of this
division of the Great Northern railway
He was one Of the first engineers te
pilot train through this part OF the
west, and much interesting history
could be written of the incidents thai
helped to shape the making of the Troy
community Mr. and Mrs. Allen came te
Troy in 1895, purchased the Windsor
Hotel. then located back of the H. G
Weidner store. AS the town built up
business demanded improvements anc
enlarging space and the hotel was ther
moved to the present location on mar
street. A fire destroyed this building
The Great Northern then persuaded
Mr.. Allen to erect another hotel which
he did Immediately hauling the lumbel
from Savage mill at Savage lake for thu
hotel now standing on Yak avenue
recently purchased by Lena Rives ant
known as the G. N. Hotel.
1t would be impossible to relate thu
many interesting chapters of Mr. Allen
life relative to his part in building thi
community from stopping place Il
the woods to its present development
Such service should stand as perpet
ual monument to the everlasting mem
ory of this pioneer Enough could no
be said of the 40 years that Mr. Ale

HALF MILLION
DROPPED
More than half million were
meanwhile dropped from FERA
payrolls from January through
July, according to latest available
complete reports. The same re-
ports show a drop in average mon.
thly earnings on the FERA to $27.-
30, from $33.12 in April, 1884.
MILLIONS FOR
WAR
One hundred and sixty million of
the original $4,880 million relief
fund has been given outright to the
War Department; $18 million to
the Navy and other huge amounts
to other government departments
which maintain spy and strike
breaking apparatus, such as the
Justice, Labor, Treasury Depts.
etc.
Other big slices of the appropri-
alton have gone to agencies which
will spend a larger proportion for
materials and equipment than the
WPA, Gill, Work Relief chief-of-
staff revealed.
"The remaining employables of
this number are expected to be
transferred rapidly to WPA pro-
jects now that the Federal direct
relief ALLEGATIONS have come to an
end" This pious expectation is
all that stands between some 5000
New Hampshire citizens and star

AUSTRALIAN CROP
UNDER AVERAGE

The 1886 wheat crop in Aus
tralia will again be below average
although possibly slightly higher
than last years production, accord
ing to a cable received by the bur-
eau of Agricultural Economics
from the International Institute of
Agriculture at Rome.
The first official estimate places
the crop at 135,OOO,OOO bushels
from 100000 acres compared
with 1873, $4,000 bushels from 12.-
$4,000 acres in 1934-35. The es-
innate is about 81 percent below
the average production, of 184,471,-
600 bushels for the five wears 49,
29-30 to 1933-34.
Harvesting of the new crop is
under way in several sections but
will not be at it's peak until some
time in November.
The domestic utilization of wheat
in Australia averages around 3d.
100000 bushels annually.

lief load, which in August, the last
month for which figures are avail
able, was 100,116." August was
harvest time in Indiana. A ruth
less purging of the relief rolls that
drove workers into miserablv paid,
temporary jobs in the field brought
the official figure down.
Now the harvest jobs are over.
Later figures are mot available"
but tits safe to ASSUME that far
less than half of the needy are
provided for in any way.
LITTLE STATE
RELIEF
Indiana we are JOlu, has almost
ID million dollars in it's Golfers. As
Stunning only $4,000 cases, this
means $3.50 per month for a year,
as compared with Splits doled out
by the FERA for March and April.
But even if this is true, it puts
Indiana far ahead of most states
in the matter of funds available
for relief. Alabama has $4,000, 900
available "for the period beginning
July 1, 1885," and Wyoming has
$75O,0OO for the entire year. These
amounts represent about what has
been spent for relief in these states
every two months. Now these
funds must be spread over an en-
tire year, and take care of more
that half of all relief families in
each state.
