BOARD, COUNCIL Is HELD;
 NEW BLDG. DISCUSSED

A joint meeting of the Douglas School Board and City Council was held last evening with the plans for the erection of the school house, as the main course of dis cussion. No definite steps were taken with regard to the matter inasmuch as it has not yet been ascertained whether or not PWA appropriation would be available. If the appropriation is not forth coming, the cost of the building would have to be greatly reduced.
 Following the school discussion, the matter of the sale of the Labor Union Hall was renewed. Inasmuch as the building was turned over to the City by the Treadwell Mining Company, and was not taken be- cause of arrears in taxes, the prop crty is the interest of all the citi- zens of the town and a special elec- ton of said persons must be held before the building can be sold.
 It was decided that the election, to vote on the question of empow- ering the City of Douglas to sell the hall, will be held on July l, for all the qualified voters of the City.

TRIO OF HUSKY FIGHTS SET TO
 LEAVE, HUDSON
Washington Crews Conced- ed Good Chance to Re-
 peat Sweep of River

SEATTLE, June 11.--With a fine chance to duplicate their astound- ing triple triumph of last year, three University of Washington crews are ready to leave here this evening for Poughkeepsie to defend their National Intercollegiate Row ing championship on June 22.
 Coach Al Ulbrickson has ex- pressed himself as pleased with the result of the draw for lanes for the Hudson Regatta, held in New York City recently. Windy Crawford, ex- Husky basketball star, represented Washington at the drawing, and pulled Lane Number 3 out of the hat for each of the three races, making up the Intercollegiate Row ing Association regatta.
 On hearing the result of the draw, Ulbrickson said, T would have felt a little better if California and Cornell had drawn lanes lit tie closer to Washington, but. after all, we are pretty well satisfied"
 Coach Ulbrickson brought out the fact that moving of the racing lanes out into the middle Of the Hudson river has taken away much of the importance of drawing in side" routes.
 The most important question now" he explained, lis to get posi- tions relative close to important rivals. Navy will be one of our strongest foes and their rowing in Lane l will make possible our keep ing an eye on their progress. Cali fornia and Cornell, however, two Iother strong threats, will be rowing side by side on the other edge of the course.'
 Result of drawing for the varsity event was: Lane l, Navy; Lane 2. Syracuse; Lane 3, Washington; Lane 4, Wisconson; Lane 5, Colum- bia; Lane 6, California; Lane T, Cornell.

Of our people are under twenty

sity in Montana. The regard Of
each for the welfare of the state
ends with personal gain
Now, Governor, there is little
that i can tell you about the me-
thods your enemies will use
against you If you are in dead
earnest. Their methods have not
changed in twenty-five years. The
Northern Pacific Is controlled by
the House Of Morgan. The honor
Of a servant seldom surpasses
that Of the Master. Several years
ago a senatorial investigation
revealed the startling fact that
by a clever system Of selling
their stocks at a great loss to
their wives and friends late in
December and buying the same
stocks back in January, members
Of the partnership of J. P. Nor"
gan g. Company had paid no in
come tax at all. While AL Cap.
one was suspected Of many muir
Gers and other racketeering, he
was actually convicted Of de
frauding the government out of
part Of his income tax. Capone's
error was in not hiring John w.
Davis, q former Democratic pre-
sidential candidate, by the year.
That evidently IS what makes the
between a member of
tho Manhattan Yacht Club and a
permanent guest at Alcatraz
Island.
But, Governor, do not become
lnduly discouraged. Montana reo.
pie are conscious Of their internal |
as well as absentee enemies. |

had q bridge opening only 65 feet
long on a stream with banks IT'S
feet apart. The town Of Wibaux
had been almost inundated IN
1921 by the railway bank and
short bridge. The railway peo-
pie has promised to increase the
opening for the stream. they
neglected to do so. On June z,
1929, the water backed up from
the embankment, drowned three
citizens, and did 100000 worth
Of damage.
Many citizens brought suit.
Some were removed by the N. 4.
to the Federal Court. All for
under $4,000 stayed in the State
Court. These later were trans
ferred by Judge Stanley Felt
against the protest of the Wi
baux people to Baker for tr.a,. |
One trial was had, the railwa, |

Court affirmed. Another trial was

this trial appeared imported
counsel, a Mr.. Mccarthy Of ST. !
Paul. The railway won: an 8 to

been offered money in the jury

uncontradicted proof of much
whiskey having been furnished

Grounds, the flood sufferers
moved for new trial. Judge Felt
denied the motion. Judge Felt

We found a new stream yes
terday, on our tour of Mountain
trout streams in West Virginia.
At least it was new to us, and
not in our list of streams. The
name is Little River, it's located
between Camp Laurel Fork and
Derbin, and it's good.
Capt. B. o. Smyth and I we're
on route to the Cheat River, when
we spotted this stream, over the
edge of the mountain road we
were travelling on. We drove down
stream about half mile below
the headwaterS and fished up. In
less than a half hour we caught
a lot of brooks and rainbowS I'm
der ideal conditions as the stream
was beautifully laid out in pools
with lots Of cover for the trout to
hide under. The C. C. c., we I'M
derStand, has been doing stream
improvement work on this stream
for some time, and it has been
heavily stocked.
Leaving the Little River we
drove on through the mountain
wilderness, on one-car road al
most completely covered with
trees and at a high altitude. We
hit the Shavers fork of the Cheat
River, at Cheat Bridge. The alti-
tude Of the stream at this point
is $500 feet and the fishing is ex-
cellent. Fishing the last two
hours Of daylight, both the captain
and I caught rainbow trout and
enjoyed watching the fish jump
like rockets into the air as they
tried to catch the yellow Mayflys
and cream colored shad flys.
AS darkness fell, we quit fish
ing as the gnatS were very bad
and thunder storm was almost
on top Of us. If you fish the
Cheat, recommend that you go
to the Cheat Bridge and take q
ride about Is miles upstream on
the small coal train that runs par
allel to the stream. There is no
means of driving in and the only
other alternative is to walk the
