BUTTE PIONEERS
SOTH BIRTHDAY
FRANK BOUCHER, RESIDENT go
YEARS, HAS NEVER REGRETTED
COMING TO MONTANA
First Job Was ChOpping Wood for
Fuel for Colorado Smelter and From
There He Climbed TO Become One Of
States Leading Merchants

Frank Boucher, merchant piO-
neer of Butte and a resident of
that city for so years, recently
observed his 80th birthday.
7 have never regretted coming to
Butte" he told his old friends upon
that occasion. Il have enjoyed every
minute of my life here"
Mr.. Boucher was born Oct. &c. 1853
at Riyiere Quelle, County Kamouraska
Province of Quebec, Canada. He grew
TO early manhood there and received
his education in the provincial schools
When news of Butte with its mining
possibilities and its many attractions
reached the part Of Canada where
Mr.. Boucher lived, he decided to go
there and grow up with the camp"
The trip to Butte was long and
zrduous. He went to Corinne. Utah.
At that time that was the end Of the
railroad to this part of the west. From
there to Butte the trip was made by
stage. He reached Montana during the
year 1878 He was 20 years old then.
His youth and his health we're his big
assets for his new life in the mining
camp.
His First Job
Young Boucher was not long in get
ting a Job. He came from the Cana
dian forests and he knew how to
swing an ak. His first job was cutting
wood for fuel to be used by the Colo
RADIO Smelling Co. at its plant at VIII
Hamsburg. Then he secured a wood
contract. Later he became foreman
of the cOmpany's timber and wood
department. Then he was named pur-
chasing agent for the company.
It was Just about that time that
the livery business in the young camp
offered a fine opportunity. Boucher
quit the Colorado Smelling Co. and
entered the livery business for him
self. His stables were located on the
north side of Galena street, between
Wyoming and Arizona streets.
Opens Clothing Store
Then followed his venture in cloth
ing business. He disposed of his livery
business and opened a mems clothing
store at the corner of Park and Ari-
iona streets. The business was called
Boucher's Inc. It later was moved to
Park, between Wyoming and Main,
and then to the old Masonic temple
building on West Park street.
On June /, 1919, Mr.. Boucher sold
his business and retired from active
work Since then he and Mrs. Boucher
have Travelled much but seldom have
been away from their friends for more
than a few months at a time. Two
years ago they spent more than three
months In New York city visiting at
the home of their son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank c.
Walker.
Their travels have taken them to
many parts Of the United States, |
Canada, the Hawaiian islands and |
other places

SENATE GROUP TO
 STUDY ADDRESS
WPA Officials Remarks Still Causing Buzz of
 Excitement

Washington, June 29-(UP)-The Senate committee to investigate campaign expenditures meets today to study for its political implica- tions the address deputy works progress Administrator Aubrey Will liams made to relief recipients.
 Committee Chairman Morris Sheppard, D., Tex, called the meet ing after obtaining from David Lasser, president of the Workers Alliance, before which the address was given, partial transcript of Williams remarks.
 Williams again stirred the con- troversy over participation of re- lief officials in politics by telling 300 members of the alliance here Monday to keep your friends in power" Williams, in letter to the committee, denied that there was anything political in what he had said, nor were any political impli- cations intended" The committee accepted his statement, but de- scribed the speech as "unfortun- ate"
 Following demands by several anti-New Deal Democratic senators for an investigation of Williams address, Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., N. Y, in Albany, N. Y, demanded that President Roosevelt remove Will Hams from office and publicly re- pudiate his statement"
 He charged that Williams speech makes political football out of the WPA and plays politics with human misery in manner and scale never dreamed of before." He also accused the alliance an organ ization of relief workers, of being lone of the principal means of spreading communist propaganda"
 It was considered improbable that the Senate committee would cenSure Williams further. Besides Sheppard, only Sens. Joseph c. OMahoney, D., Wyo., and Pat Har- rison, D., Miss, of the committee were in the capital.
