CBy DICK WEST)

One of the greatest, most orderly
stampedes the West has ever known Is
now taking place in the western for
ests of Montana. Not since the gold
rushes of the early days has there
been such n movement. For Uncle
Sam is concentrating 5000 young men
of the Civilian Conservation corps in
the Fort Missoula district which en-
braces the entire state of Montana,
the outlying Yellowstone and Glacier
national parks and sections Of Idaho
and Wyoming.
Trucks are rolling in conveys day
and night transporting these eager
bronzed youths of the nation to camps
in the woods. Daily, trains are bring
ing new companies of CCC workers
This orderly supervised stampede will
continue through June and July until
the men are ~strategically placed in the
fire menaced forests of Montana.
In the early gold rush days of this
historical state men making up the
stampede were motivated by desire of
gold and easy living. In the early days

Today these young CCC men are 60
ing into the mountains and timber, not
to seek and destroy natural resources,
but to conserve and aid nature.
Members of the Civilian Conservation
corps now going into camp, sometimes
far back in the timbered areas, are
working with pick and shovel protect
ing instead of destroying the natural
timber and beauty of Montana.
Six thousand men, 10 to Is years old,
are laboring on fire control, suppress
sion, landscaping and camp ground
development. BY the middle Of June
two thousand more will have Joined
the vast army of conservation.
Thousands of these khaki-clad youths
are developing range and waterhOle
projects, building fence and telephone
lines in the drouth area Of eastern
Montana. In the yellow pine, fir and
cedar stands of the west slope of the
Rockies, the young conServatiOniStS are
preparing for the red menace OF the
woods, the destructive forest fires. The
CCC is building fire trails and roads
into thick valuable timber which was
inaccessible and without fire protection
before the corps went into action. On
the high peaks Of the vast Rocky noun
tain range, details of CCC men are con-
Structing lookouts and in many cases
manning them. Game study and wild
life protection are part of their work.
Blackened, tumbled downfallS and

are building and improving campsites.

WILL RECEIVE BONDS

The Montana water conservation
board will receive bids on July Is for
the construction of the second unit of
the Carbon county water conservation
project. Contracts for the first unit,
to be known as the Cooney reservoir,
have already been awarded for $472.-
900. The second unit, to be known as
the Glacier Lakes reservoir, on the
Wyoming border, will require an adj
ditional expenditure OF about $780,

for the entire project vas $500, 900 but
engineers believe that it can be com

ALLEGED IN BILL
Repre- esentatiye Jenckes
Charges City Heads Handi-
cap Men From Ranks.

A bill designed to correct alleged
inequities In the administration of
the Police and Fire Department PEN
sion law was introduced yesterday by
Representative Jenckes, Democrat. OF
Indiana, a member OF the House Dis
trict Committee.
At the same time Mrs. Jenckes IS
sued q lengthy statement charging
the Commissioners had approved
"huge pensions" for retired officials
Of the Police and Fire Departments
while denying pension increases to
men who had been retired from the
ranks for injuries or physical disa-
bilities incurred In line OF duty.
The Jenckes bill would force the
Commissioners to give to members Of
the Police and Fire Departments upon
retirement the maximum pension al
lowed under existing law-one-half
of the salary. with minimum of 500
month. The measure also would
apply to all firemen and policemen
now on the retired list.
Mrs. Jenckes said she had made an
investigation which showed that on
April last there were 204 retired
firemen on the pension rolls, includ-
ing 6S officers.
or these officers, she declared, all
but four received the maximum pen
sion allowed by law despite the fact
they had not been disabled by INJURIES
or illness incurred in line Of duty OF
the 1856 privates, she declared, is did
not receive as much a. 500 a month
Several specific cases of alleged dis
crepancies were mentioned by Mrs.
Jenckes. One related 10 former Police
Supt. Edwin B. Hessc and the other
to Sidney Bieber, who. she declared,
is receiving pension Of $208 a month
from the Fire Department although
he was never disabled and never
fought q fire in his life"
Hesse, Mrs. Jenckes explained,
served as superintendent of police for
less than two years before retirement,
yet his pension Is 1888 a month.

BY MICHAEL FAME.

hair beautiful under q dark turban
Jarvis looked at the tears which
trembled on her lashes and thought:
Those are the first real tears that
have been shed over Philip Bene-
vento's death, I'd swear. And I bet
any money there's a story here"
Jarvis looked cynically at the as
sembled hacks. at the thousands Of
'mourners" who overfiowed the
funeral home and blocked traffic for
blocks about. A grand show it was.
The well-tailored, well-groomed corpse
of Philip Benevento had lain for three
days in an expensive casket, garnished
with all the mournful elegance
which Wynant, mortician, could pro-
vide.
The crowds which had admired him
living admired him dead. His Seduc-
tive Latin smile, wistful eyes, darkly
curling hair-the totality of his
charms had made jelly of the hearts
of the Nations fair wherever his sha-
dow fell on whatever screen.
His latest and last role was as
suavely played as any. The embalmers
had done him all justice. His hair
still darkly curled; his eyes, though
closed. were wiStful; his mouth still
smiled seductively.
He was q beautiful cadaver.
Today the engagement was to close.
The great doors in the facade of Wy
nant's funeral parlors were flung open.
The costly CONN was borne by three
movie stars, two executives and q
director. The cortege began to as
sembie.
The doors of the hearse were closed.
Black -garbed menials Of Wynant's
funeral parlors. their visages suitably
doleful, moved softly and swiftly about
helping the grief-Stricken into their
hacks.
Then before the hearse could move
off there came low, strangled sob
bing. Those who were near enough to
hear it-Jarvis Of the Post-Herald
among them-turned quickly to the
spot from which it came. 1t was She
the tragic lady.
Her black-gloved hands clasped
JlgnJly, Sne WAS mOaHlIlB SOlLly. EHI-
ippo! Philippo!" Then she fell to
the ground and her sobbing ceased.
Jarvis was among the first of several
to leap to her assistance. He lifted
her in his arms and looked down into
the pale face. There were dark circles
under her eyes. Again Jarvis thought:
1--WE seen her somewhere, I'm certain
of it."
Give her to me, please" an anxious
voice requested. Jarvis glanced at the
speaker. He was tall. young. we'll
dressed. And he looked very worried.
He, too, wore black.
''I lost track of her in the crowd
poor grill" he explained. She's not
well at all" He took her from Jarvis
arms. She had regained consciousness
