Insists Some s.FaCts''
Are Surely Not Facts

HELENA, Nov 11-Helena is NOT
IN ruins. To paraphrase the reply of
great general, it has just begun tx
fight
Of course there are some ruins ir
Helena. Some old buildings and some
new ones that have been wrecked while
scores of homes will need new chinneys
and new window glass and plaster.
Custodian Small in speaking of the
sum total of the damage to the biz
state capitol building stated that by a
judicious expenditure Of from 5000 to
$400, all the plaster cracks in the entire
structure could be filled, needed paint
ing done and the building would look
like new.
A radio report that intimated that
the west wing of the capitol building,
in which is located the house Of rep
4<1santatives assembly hall, had been
wrecked and was In ruins was absolute
ly false.
The other state buildings around the
capitol are also in splendid condition.
It was difficult for many who saw the
ruins of such old buildings as the Drake
hotel across from the Northern Pacific
depot and the large old school build
ing close by, to understand why the
capitol itself did not suffer more dam
age.
A study Of its construction however
shows that in addition to splendid solid
foundations, well built, the entire
building has steel framework that
would stand if even the walls Of granite
and stone were to topple
There is not the slightest cause FOR
alarm among the people Of Montana
over their state capitol situation.
Newspapers far and wide over the
nation have printed lurid pictures
showing the worst cases of destruction.
While the situation is bad in a dollar
and cents sense, it is nothing to worry
about.
The federal and state governments
came promptly to the aid in the emer-
gency- The loss of life was far less
than IN similar catastrophes in other
places and Helena is swiftly coming
back
