All went well for three years Tracy and
Merrill, his stooge toled stolidly in the great
prison foundry. The pententiary was making
stoves for a Portland stove firm, and in the
pouring room, every few feet, stood the wooden
frames that held the moulds, like rows of desks
in a schoolroom
When 1902 came along convict Harry Wright
was given his release But soon he returned to
Salem. Then, on the night of June 8, two short
Winchester rifles, with pile of cartridges, were
smuggled through the walls of the grim mass
of stone and steel that housed Oregons felons.
BY daybreak this hot hardware was smuggled
in one of the stove -moulds hidden by a casual
looking snarl of old newspapers
At seven in the morning Guard Ferrell came
swinging across the prison yard with 159 con-
victs for the days work in the foundry. AS the

Girard checked their numbers
"All In line!' he sang out to Ferren
"All right" yelled Ferrell.
Then hell broke loose in Salem!
The two Wnchesters that had rested so peace
fully in the mould belched flaming lead. Ferren,

swept the contents of the cash register into the

ately brought down his doube-barreled shotgun
to the store for the next attempt on his strong
box.
And on this day Bert Wey, the old mans son,
was idly gazing out front when he spotted the
fight Of the black mackinaw up Harrison. Bert

the pavement just ahead Of Weiner He let go

galloped on.
But right then a Portland cop, enjoying a
quiet pipe in his home just off Harrison, heard
the blast Of young Weys fowling piece, then
plunged out for the street. He got there in the
right time to strong farm the flying desperate
until the tired wener, with the shotgun boy,
arrived to take the prisoner.
Harry Tracy handed Dan wsiner his gun. He

Two other workers, Ed Myers and

A precedent breaking order, for this
time of year, recently placed all North

six days a week at Laurel, according to
H. j. Newton, general foreman of the
Laurel shops.
The move is apparently a part of a

Commenting on the order received,
Foreman Newton said "it is very I'M

VIZ HILE FOOTBALL is supposed to
w be a fall and winter sport, it was
played the year round in the days
when Butte had its famous big indie
pendent teams in the COS. Col. D.. G.
Stivers, manager of the team, would
have arranged games every month in
the year if there were 40 months in a
anywhere-in Montana, Utah, Nebraska,
Iowa, Colorado, Washington and Cali
fornia.
On July 4, 1895, a sizzling hot day,
the Butte and Omaha teams played in
the Mining city before 5000 fans who
paid 81 each to see the contest. Butte
won 6 to O.
The Anaconda Standard of the fol-
lowing day reported the game as fol-
lows: THE Butte football team got
even with the long-haired young men
the most approved manner, and they
are heroes not of the hour, but of the
year.
1T was a case of the pupil excelling
the master, for it was the overwhelm-
ing and humiliating defeat admin
istered to the Buttes by the Omahans
last Thanksgiving that caused the vic
torious team of yesterday to rise from
the ashes of the defeated, and win a

Windy city. All good riders were sup
posed to be products OF the east OF
im]portations from England. Smith ad-
mitted that he vas a Montanan to
newspapermen. His story wasn't be-
lieved and the newspapers reported
that maybe the rider OF Bathampton
using the name of Smith, was an Eng
lish Jockey who had been ruled Oft
English tracks. They formed this opin-
ion because his style of riding was
supposed to be English. AS a matter
of fact, the style used by Bob Smith
was "Smithish." He had a fashion all
his own.
Montana turf followers chuckled over
the Chicago stories. Smith had ridden
mounts for years in western Montana.
He married a Montana girl, and dur
ing the off-season resided in Helena.
East's RumOrs Branded
The Anaconda Standard in a story
printed at the time commented as fol-
lows: Mr.. Smith, like all horsemen,
is at home wherever the horses are,
but that does not signify that he lives
in a stall. Not by long odds, for there
is a Mrs. Bob Smith. The Smiths make
their home at Helena. A sister of Mrs.
Smith is married to Bob's brother.
Smith is not as young as he looks, and
if the census enumerator catches him
he will confess to 80 years. He is a Ma
son, Knight of Pythias and Workmen,
and is proud of them all. So far as is
known he is the only jockey in the
United States entitled to wear the
Square and Compass of the Masons."
Continuing. the Standard writer said:
Smiths style of riding is far from
British. He uses the short stirrup, a
close rein and moves with his horse
riding with back bent over his mount.
The English boys ride with long STIR
rups. stiff legs and sit straight in their
saddles as soldiers. So the credulous
east is badly mistaken when it is as
serted that the popular young man is
other than he is, Robert Smith of
Montana. a jockey, who rides to win
and a trainer of excellent judgment.
Friends found difficulty in recognize
ing Smith when he arrived in town
yesterday. He has sacrificed his heavy
mustache which formerly adorned his
upper lip. The smooth shaven little fell
low looks quite handsome. Bob is in
charge of a stable or horses that will
compete in the Butte and Anaconda

Valiant Efforts of Lads
To SaUe MothersFail

Valiant efforts of two small boys to
save the life of their mother at Butte,
stricken with pneumonia, proved futile
when the mother succumbed a few
days ago. A sister of the boys is crit
ically i'll in the same hospital ward.
Mrs. Fay Brown, 81, a native of
Texas, came here recently with her
three children from a mining camp in
Colorado. Dorothy Louise, 15-year-old
daughter, became i'll first. The mother
nursed her daughter for several days
until she contracted the disease.
The two boys carried on, to the best
of their ability, the uneven battle
against death until a family friend had
the stricken mother and daughter taken
to the hospital. Doctors hold little hope
for the recovery of the girl.

BUTTEs ALSO BEAT PORTLAND

On Labor day of the same year
1895-the Butte and Portland football
teams played for the j. H. Leyson
trophy. Butte won Is to 6. And also
from the Anaconda Standard is the
following report of the game:
THE Butte football team added an
other to its list of victories this after
noon by defeating the Portland Multi
nomalls in the hardest fought and most
exciting contest of pluck, skill and en-
durance that Butte has ever witnessed.
1.-THE game was an important one
from the fact that the Multnomahs
sustained their first defeat and the
Buttes were scored against for the first
time since their reorganization. The
webfooted individuals from the coast
proved themselves to be a much strong
er team than the long-haired Omaha
boys, and if the game had been played
on a muddy field instead of in a dust
storm there might have been a differ
emit story to tell. The Wanted Multi
homahs, splendid team as they are,
were clearly outplayed and the best
team won. The game was witnessed by
about $500 people and they we're upon
their tiptoes most of the time. Excite
ment wa at fever heat from start to

For instance, inaugural ceremonies

Of those attending which is incident

II was talking with Representative

then agreed some provision of law
should be made for construction of
large auditorium in the Capital at q
convenient place-an auditorium that
may be used under proper regulations,
which regulation might provide for
sufhcient revenues or returns at least
to take care Of operating expenses.

the auditorium is constructed, will ex-

suggestion that the auditorium take
the form Of . memorial to Thomas

"The auditorium might very well be

DURAND'S RETURN
TO WORK DEBATED
Power Commission Studies
Recommendations He Be
Re.empl0yed.

Prospect that an order from Presi-
dent Roosevelt might be required to
reinstate Robert Durand was seen
today as the Federal Power Commis-
sion studied q recommendation from
a special committee that he be re-
stored to duty.
The fight waged by the Federation
OF Architects, Engineers. Chemists and
Technicians in behalf of Durand
ended in victory yesterday when the
committee, composed of three repre-
sentatives of labor agencies, upheld
Durand's contention that he had been
dropped 10 months ago for union
activities and should get his job back.
Chairman Frank r. McNinch of
the Power Commission said the COM
mittee report would receive the fullest
consideration. Durand's chance for
reinstatement, however, has run into
two snags. To begin with, he was a
non-Civil Service appointee and all
Federal Power employees have been
blanketed under Civil Service since
his custer.
In the second place. the Civil Serv-
ice Commission has changed its CLASH
fication rule and reversed the proceed
ure under which former incumbent
of a position which later was brought
under civil service acquired a civil
service status.
The Durand case presumably will
go to the Civil Service Commission
eventually, if the Federal Power
Commission decides to reinstate him,
and it will be up to counsel there to
figure out what steps must be taken
to put him back to work.

LEVY MAY PROVE
WORK BOOMERANG
Star Official Tells Editors
Security Tax Gives Little
Sterilization Incentive,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FREDERICKSBURG Va. January
22.-William r. Little, controller Of
The Washington Evening Star, told
members of the Virginia Press Associa-
ton today that present provisions of
the social security tax program may
we'll have an adverse effect on en-
ployment."
Little said it would be advisable that
some practical form" of merit rating
as reward for stabilization be devel-
oped as an amendment to the Vir-
ginia unemployment compensation
law, "since it should be of particular
benefit to newspaper publishers or 9TH
er industries that have fairly stable
employment"
THE great majority Of State Gum
employment compensatory laws pro-
vide for pooled fund into which all
contributions are Jumped. and from
which benefits are paid to all eligibles,
regardless of whether or not certain
companies or classes of business have
a highly stabilized employment rec
ord," he said.
Little Sterilization Incentive.
"There is little incentive for man
agement to aim toward stabilization
with this type. In effect, this means
that employers who have q low ratio
of unemployment, due to the nature
of their business or because Of good
management, must pay for the neigh
Dor who has high rate Of labor turn
over.
This may well have an adverse
effect on employment since there
would be q natural tendency on the
part Of employers to hold wages and
the number Of workers to minimum
level :"
While Little treated of the national
aspects Of the social security tax pro-
gram, William R. Shands, State di-
rector of legislative research and
drafting, who also addressed the 1sso-
citation. explained Virginia's recently
enacted unemployment compensation
act.
Shands Explains Virginia Law.
Stands explained that under the
Virginia set-up, an unemployed indi-
vidual in order to be eligible for bene-
fits must register for work and there
after continue to report at the en-
ployment Office In accordance with
such regulations as the State U. G. G.
may prescribe.
Little declared all State laws should
specifically provide for individual en-
ployer's reserve accounts by which
each employers contribution would be
maintained in a separate account,
from which payments of benefits
would be made as they accrue to for
mer employees.
Pointing out that the Federal act
makes no provision for the exemption
of private pension plans, he said Fed
eral benefits could not be relied upon
alone to solve the problem" presented
by older workers, who do not receive
credit for employment prior to the
effective date OF the Federal act, Jan
uary /, 1887.
Little said there had been differing
rulings in various parts Of the country
on whether certain groups Of workers
connected with newspapers, such as
route or carrier boys. were "employes,"
and suggested careful study Of en-
ployer-employe relationships with .
view to determining the correct status
Of doubtful classes, 20 that your pay
roll records may reflect the proper base
for taxation plIrposes."
