REMAINS.
 5 TO 1 CHOICE. OVER NATE MANN !
Champ Rated 2=l to Score K. O.-Return GO in 60
 Days If Mann Wins
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 21-(UP)-Cham- pion Joe Lotus and Challenger Ma than Mann conclude training today for their 15-round heavyweight ti- tie fight Wednesday night ill Ma dison Square Garden. Louis was a 5-1 favorite and virtually no betting was reported.
 It will be the first time & cham pion has risked his heavyweight crown indoors since 1920 when Jack Dempsey put his title on the line against Bill Brennan. The Garden is scaled to draw $133,o00 and a sellout is virtually assured. With best seats priced at $16.50, cash sales and advance orders already total nearly $80,00O.
 Tapered Off
 Louis planned to spar six rounds today, do a bit of shadow boxing, work on the bags and skip rope Planning to enter the ring around 200-pounds, he will timber up and rest tomorrow, then motor ill ear ly Wednesday morning from his Pompton Lakes, N. J., camp for the boxing commissions noon weight in Mann. 22-year-old Italian from New Haven, Conn, ended boxing sessions with four round drill against wtc sparmates yesterday. He took a long hike this morning and sched- uled light cahsthenics for the after noon. Tomorrow he will drive into the city from his Summit, N. j.. camp ill company with his hand lers Ray Arcel and Jimmy De An gelis.
 Because of the contrasting styles of the two fighters, Louis is a 2-1 shot to knock out the Connecticut youth. Primarily a straight punch CT, Louis blows should find thei1 mark before Mann's hooks land Most fight followers believe Nathan'S style lis made to order" for the champion.
 Mann. year younger than Louis will spot the titleholder from 10 to 13 pounds in weight. He is not ex- pected to scale over 100 and may come in around 187. Boxing his- tory, however. proves weight ham, dicap has little if any effect in the heavyweight division.
 Louis, undoubtedly, is the harder puncher, having kayoed 30 of his 37 professional opponents, but he can't take it' like the New Haven lad Mann has knocked out 27 opponents ill 46 bouts, and while he has lost four decisions, he never has been kayoed and only once has he been knocked off his feet. Louis was chilled by Max Scllmeling, floored by Jim Braddock and belted half groggy by Jorge Brescia.
 Tune-Up?
 This will be the second title de- fense for Louis since he won the crown from Braddock last June. He outpointed Tommy Farr in Is rounds in August. There is a pos sibility Joe will tackle another 'tune-up" for this spring in prepar- ation for meeting Max Schmeling ill June. The winner of the Jimmy Adamick-Harry Thomas fight last Friday was offered the next Louis tuneup engagement, but in winning, Adamick showed 8 vast lack of ex- perience that probably will cause him to pass up the offer.
 If Mann wins, he will be forced to give Louis return shot at the title within 60 days according to the articles of the fight.

MEETING TODAY HONORED WISHES
 OF ALL PLAYERS
Borough Boys to Qualify Next Week-Meet Hard=A
 ing Saturday
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Naugatuck high schools principal Charles P. Slade, it's athletic direc- tor, Peter J. Foley, and borough authorities in general, this morn ing voted to give the 1888 borough basketball brigade the chance that it has so well earned-permission to qualify for the state Glass A" championship at New Haven next month. Naugatuck is Class B school the grading being based on registration, but with a team that has won IT of IS games, including the Naugatuck Valley champion ship, and all sundry feel that the borough boys are as good as any, thing in the state from basketball viewpoint and, as the players them selves want to shoot for the top spot, rather than Class B champion ship, neither MT. Slade nor MT. Foley cared to voice any objections. Therefore, the kids will have their chance, even as they hoped, when the season started and Naugatuck was returned the winner, game af- ter game in "apple-pie" order.
 Technically, Naugatuck will be allowed to compete against teams such as Manchester which had it's 15-game winning streak broken by Bristol last week; New Haven Hill- house, always a strong contender: Torrington, which it has beaten twice; Bristol, the danger" team of the tourney after poor start; Harding which Naugy plays Satur- day night to wind up the season and possibly Central the "Spoiler" of the Naugatuck 16-game win streak and winner over second-place Torring- ton, in the Valley league. Inthe 'B'' division Naugatuck and Branford would be almost sure "finaliSts" while. the Class A title is the most valuable, indicating the best hoop team from any high school in Con- necticut.
 Naugatuck, Feb. 21-With IT vic tories in Is starts. the Naugatuck high school basketball team faces this week an apparently hard game as the last of it's regular schedule. Warren Harding high of Bridgeport will be the next opponent for the local outfit. The teams will clash at the local "Y" Saturday night. 1 Naugatuck edged Harding in an overtime game in Bridgeport some months ago. The Garnet showed no i'll effects of it's trimming last week by Central high when it trounced Wilby of Waterbury 59-33 ill a game here Saturday night.
 Fast Start
 The tilt started off fast but after Bill Cross sank a shot to give the Garnet an 8-7 lead, and Mariana and Farrar followed with field goals, the local team had the edge and from then on the result was never in doubt. Naugatuck led at ha!f time, 26-19 but hung up 13 points in the third period to three for their opponents to start the fourth quarter 39-22. The Garnet continued at a whirlwind pace in the final period despite the loss via fouls i'll the first minute of this quarter of Cross. Naugatuck tailed 20 points to Il for Wilby in the last period. Harnick of Wilby went out via fouls short time after Cross.

Snowfall i'm Montana Below
Last Year; Above 1O-Year
Average, Says Late Report

An average total snowfall of ASS
I inches, representative mostly of the
/ lower elevations, fell at the regular and
1 cooperative stations of the United
/ States weather bureau in Montana
from Sept. /, 1887, to March 81, 1888
1 according to information received few
! days ago by w. E. Vaughan, meteor
ologist in charge of the Helena weather
| bureau.
The average amount, he said, was 35
inches less than the average for 1886
81, but was % inches greater than
the average for the last 10 years. 1t
was z of an inch less than the average
for all years since 1895.
The average snowfall by divisions:
West of the divide, 59.3 inches;
central, 50.2 inches; eastern division,
81 inches.
Elevated Regions Mostly Normal
Snowfall representative of the more
elevated regions was mostly normal or
above, except in the Flathead, Madison,
Musselshell and Yellowstone drainage
basins, the figures showed. Mild tenn
peratures and occasional rains during
the winter produced a well-packed
snow cover of high water content.
There was less drifting than usual.
So far, little or no melting has oc-
Cured on several of the higher noun
ground beneath the snow cover is
mostly wet and unfrozen.
The maximum stream flow to be eX-
pected from existing snow melting at
about the normal rate will be average
or better than average in all drainage
basins except the Flathead, the figures
showed. Stream flow will be greater
than last year in all basins. The out
look at the close of March for an ade-
quate supply Of water for irrigation and
livestock purposes during the summer
was generally good.
BY Drainage Areas
The following summaries and tabu-
lations in the high drainage areas of
the state for the period from December,
1887, to March, 1888, have been pre-
pared from reports of forest rangers:
Bitter Root-Normal snowfall. High
water content in excess of last year
Condition of ground varies wet to dry;
unfrozen. Above average and greater
than last years stream flow expected.
Clark Fork-Mostly above normal
snowfall; few districts below. Above
average density. Ground wet, mostly
unfrozen. Average or above average
stefan flow expected; also greater than
last year.
FIathead-Snowfal below normal.
Average density. Very little drifted.
Ground wet, unfrozen. Below average
but greater than last years stream
flow expected.
GalIatin-Normal snowfall. Average
density. Badly drifted. Ground condi-
ton variable as to moistneSS and freez-
ing. Above average, and greater than

mining country and joined forces With
RFy Tice Before school started in the
fan of 1890. Mr.. Rice obtained from
Henry Nippenberg, one of his sponsors
AZ Glendale, a letter to Mrs. J. g. g.
Thorton of Butte, and through the in
fluence of this prominent Butte
matron, a room was provided IN the
old Butte Central high school, then
the only building in the block where
the Butte public library now stands.
where these two young men could mold
their commercial classes. More than a
score of young people enrolled for the
regular classes, and 1t soon became ap-
parent that to take care Of all appll-
cants, many Of whom were working
at the mines, classes would have TO be
arranged to accommodate the three
shifts Morning, afternoon, and even
ing classes followed, with attendance
increasing by such bounds that larger
quarters had to be found. The two
young pedagogS, Rice and Kern, ac-
cordingly found space on Quartz street.
There too, they shortly found them
selves again cramped for room, and
so in January of 1891, before the build
tablished themselves in a wing on the
top floor of the Owsley block, the lo-
cation that has been the schools home
ever since, except that gradually the
school spread from one wing to occupy
the entire floor.
Typewriters Novelty
These were the beginnings Of the |
school. While typewriters were IN use
at the time, though still something Of |
a novelty, classes in tipping were part |
Of the regular curriculum, with PEN
bookkeeping and Stenography
the other subjects taught.
A contrast as sharp as the tWo-Story-
shack Butte of the early '90's, with
that greatest mining camp on earth
today, is the contrast of the Butte
Business colleges working equipment
Of that day and this.
Adding machines and comptometers
now fill table after table in one entire

ems of thousands of dollars in ultra
modern office machinery. In the spa

placed row on row to supply the needs

If 500 pupils AS in the earliest days
If the school, classes are maintained
lay and night, for the convenience of

AS steadily as the intricate processes
If accountancy have developed from
imple bookkeeping, and mechanical
and entries have sup
planted the bulk of penwork, has the
Butte Business college kept abreast of

courses to embrace and cultivate every
lew trend.
In addition to its commercial and
ecretarial courses, it has maintained

A few rOtting timbers remain Of
the hull Of the Baby Rose, only
commercial steamer ever built and
launched at Fort Benton, which
20 years ago, draped with bunting
and christened with a bottle Of
champagne, slide down the ways in
the presence Of crowd of 500 from
all parts Of Montana
The Baby Rose was launched May
26, 1909. There are many people VINO
remember the boat, Built by Charles
Crepeau, the 71-foot boat was named
for his small daughter, Rose. Crepeau
intended to use the boat on the Mis-
souri, river between Fort Benton, Leedy,
Wilder and other points on the Mis-
souri, river miles from any railroad,
which would serve several hundred
people living on the almost inaccess-
ible river bottoms within about 200
miles of Fort Benton,
Although its career was brief and
the boat itself was broken by ice the
next winter, keen interest that the
steamboat aroused and high hopes of
its owner constitute an interesting side
light. At that time several flatboats
were built each year at Fort Benton
for single trips downstream with full
cargo of mail, groceries, fence wire and
other necessities Of farmers Crepeau
believed that a small steamer, capable
of working the shallow channel Of the
upper river, could occupy itself in max
ing these trips with supplies, saving
the expense of building flatboats, which
would be dismantletd upon reaching
their destination.
A crew of ship carpenters from Ia
coma, with Joseph Mcmillan in charge,
worked for several weeks in the early
spring of 1909 on constructing the
steamer, which was II feet long and
IS feet wide, and had 80-horsepower
machinery.
The launching May &c was quite an
occasion. The boat bore a flag and was
decked with bunting At least two
speeches preceded the launching with
W. S. Towner, then president of the
Fort Benton Chamber of Commerce,
igation, and F. e. Stranahan, then
mayor of Fort Benton, speaking on
advantages of river transportation. AS
blocks holding the steamboat were re-
moved, Crepeau and his little daughter,
Rose, were on the deck. The little girl
broke a bottle of champagne to chris
ten the craft as it slid into the Mis-
souri,, then swollen by the spring rise.
Not until June 3 were the necessary
government papers and authority to
operate the Baby Rose obtained by
Crepeau. July 4, 1909, the steamer made |
its maiden trip. The blast of the steam |
boat whistle drew q crowd to the leVee
as 1t swung into the current, with the |
Black Eagle band of Great Falls |
aboard, along with many other invited |
guests. The trip made was to the L. D. /
Sharp ranch, about two miles below /
