Immense Placer Workings
Much gold, of a quality singularly
pure, came out of Highland guloh

gulches, men, whose memories run
back to those earlier days, still ply
their picks and pans and exc a scanty
existence from the reluctant gravel
Occasionally one finds a nugget or
pocket of gold, and hope in an old
heart builds new Highland City on
the fast disappearing ruins Of the old.
The decline of the city was as rapid
as its rise. After seven years of af-
fluence the stream of gold came sud-
denly to an end, and in another year
the exodus of the people was prac-
tically complete. The 800 log structures,
many Of them Of two-story dimensions
tumbled rapidly into decay.
Another Montana ghost town Is Dia-
mond City, which from the day Of the
discovery Of gold in Confederate gulch
in 1866 until the failure of the placers
in 1870, was the mining capital OF CEN
trail Montana. In 1870, the town showed
some evidence Of its former greatness

creased to "a.

STATE WILL SHIP
$4,000 TURKEYS
THOUGH CROP SLIGHTLY OVER
NORMAL BUYING CONDITIONS
INDICATE GOOD PRICES

Although Il Is impossible occur
ately to estimate the price turkeys
win bring this year, conditions are
such that the price win be high
enough TO Justify Montana growers
IN purchasing feeds 10 make up q
balanced ration, according to Mkas
VI. =. Cushmau, extension poultry
specialist at Montana State college.
Miss CuShman finds that while the
national turkey crop Is considerably
larger than last year, IL Is still only
three percent above normal. Storage
supplies are well cleared and as buy
ing power OF consumers is better and
meat prices good, turkey prices should
run about the same as last year" she
believes.
Montana viii probably market about
as 900 turkeys this season, Miss Cllsh-
man added. This Is about the same
number that state growers put on the
market last year. Figuring that the
turkeys viii dress out between 10 and
IA pounds each, the total for the year
viii be approximately &S0.000 pounds
Quality ExceEaenk
The quality of M0ntana's turkeys
win be excellent, especially In the
western part Of the state where grow
ers were better able 10 feed BALANCED
ration.
In reviewing the state turkey situa-
ton Miss Cushnaan calls attention to
the shift thai has taken place IN the
Montana turkey population. Today the
largest commercial producers are found
In western Montana Sanders, Missoula
and Ravaln counties are heavy COM
mercial producers, she said. On the
other hand Fergus and Judith Basin
counties comprise Che largest farm
flock area. While there are 8 few large
commercial producers In these counties,
the small growers far 0utnumber them
and account for the bulk Of the pro-
duction In that section.
PouEt Orders Near Capacity
Miss Cushman completes her review
Of the turkey outlook with hint TO
growers. with feed prices high, she
said, the farm flock owner might be
money ahead to dispose Of his breeding
flock rather than purchase the neces-
sary winter feed. II this is done, how
ever, she advises xkae grower TO get his
order for poults In at once, because
hatcherymen already report near ca
pacity orders.

A drop Of $73,000,000 in bank
reserve balances was reported by
member banks in 101 cities in the
week ended August 5, the Federal
Reserve Board reports.
This reflectd movements of
funds from the larger cities to the
smaller communities, and was
directly opposite to the prediction
of the board when it ordered q
sharp increase in reserve require
ments last month in an effort to
reduce excess reserves by so per
cent.
The actual decrease in reserves
was from $4,859, 900, 900 to $4,786,-
100000. When the board an
nounced the reserve requirement

that the total by next Saturday,
the effective date, would be
$4,000, 100000. When the ruling
was made the total was $685.

The current report also shows

C0UZENS

DETROIT, Aug. 12.-Senator
James Couzens, of Michigan, rich
est man in the United States Sem
aEe, races defeat for denomination.
At least, his friends are telling
MIN SO.
Frank Murphy, brought back
from Manila by the New Deal to
run for governor, is up against
the kind of a fight he saw among
the Philippine inSurrectionists.
The New Deal strategiSts are in
q dilemma.
They would like to see both
Couzens and Murphy win. Chair
man Farley lays claim to political
genius. But he has yet to devise
q scheme by which he can throw
New Deal voters into two primaries
on the same day-the Republican
for Couzens, the Democratic for
Murphy.
LandOn Gaining
Governor Landon is gaining by
leaps and bounds. Governor FitZ-
gerald, modest and able observer.
says that the KanSan will carry
Michigan in November.
Fitzgerald is a candidate for re-
election. Fitzgerald, facing Muir
ply, will win.
The above is the consensus Of
the politicians in Michigan whose
forecasts in the past have been
invariably accurate.
Couzens has taken a stubborn
attitude. He will not campaign
for his own denomination. He
says the people know him and
his record. If they want him,
they will vote for him. He is not
going to "beg" them for votes.
Likes G. o. p. Platform
Couzens likes the Republican
platform. He will stand on it. He
has not announced a preference
between Landon and Roosevelt.
The latter has played for his
favor. Couzens is strongest among
independent voters. They do not
vote in primaries.
Against Couzens is a strong and
active candidate for the nomina-
tion, former Governor WILDER M.
Brucker. He knows his way around
Michigan. He has a fine record.
He declares for Landon in every
speech. He demands that CouzenS
explain whether he is Repub-
lican or a New Dealer.
The Republican organization
would prefer Brucker as an in
dividual. 1t says, however, that
CouzenS would bring $4,000 votes
to he entire ticket on election
day.

Textile Mills Gain
11Per Cent Over IS

NEW YORK, August 12.-Tex-
tile Worlds index of textile mill
activity indicates a rate during
the first six months of 1886 ap-
proximately IL per cent above
that for the corresponding period
of 1885. Cotton and rayon &C
counted for the increase, while
use of wool and silk declined as
against last year. More important
than this average increased rate
of production have been the large
volume of sales and the firmness
in prices in certain important
parts of the market.

HAMILTON HITS
LAB0RCURBS

ORTLAND, Ore, Aug. IL
U.N.SO.-John D. M. Hamilton,
the Republican national commit
tees chairman, hoped off today
in his plane for Reno, New, after
another blast here last night at
the present Administration.
Speaking before several thou,
sand cheering Republicans, Ham
ilton warned labor of the dan
gers of governmental compulsion
in its affairs. He said:
"The New Deal, despite its
boosted friendship for the la
boring man and woman. has
pursued a policy of centraliza-
tion in Washington by a sub
stantial measure of control
over the affairs Of labor.
"In no place is this more
evident than in regard to GER
tain cOmpulSive measures which
have been applied OStenSibly in
the interest of labor.
II would only point out that
in European countries when
government cOmpUISiOn has
once started it has expanded the
policies which were initiated
with friendly gesture to labor to
result ultimately in the enSlave-
ment of labor and the complete
destruction of labor'S right to
protect it's own interests by
collective bargaining and strikes.
Il would further point out
that Gov. Alfred M. LandOn has
clearly stated that he favors
Self-gOvernment of labor by
labor. He would guarantee to
labor that its rights shall not be
infringed by the government
