l2,346 PLACED IN
PRIVATE JOBS
INDUSTRY PAYROLLS IN MON
TANA INCREASED DURING
LAST QUARTER OF 1888
Trend Indicates Montana Has Come
More Than Half Way Back to Peak
Employment Of 1887. Says Chairman
Barclay Craighead.

Private industry in Montana in
creased payrolls over $1,234,0O0
monthly in the last three months
of 1898, as compared to the first
three months of 1888, Barclay
Craighead, chairman of the unem-
ployment compensation commits
sion, said. "During 1888 Montana's
private industries found new Jobs
for 2,346 persons" Craighead said.
He explained that the above figures
referred only to businesses covered by
the unemployment compensation act.
The states payroll increase in the
fourth quarter of 1898, over the first
quarter of 1898, amounted to s3,7O3,-
70370. Estimating that each individual
who found job earned 500 a month,
the figures indicate that 12,346 persons
who had not been steadily employed
found jobs.
This shows Montana business and
industry has come more than one-half
way back to the 1887 peak of employ
ment, when over 81 900 workers were
employed in covered businesses, from
the employment decline to 64,790 work.
ers employed in February. 1885,
One helpful factor in Montana has
been the exceptionally fine winter
weather, which has allowed the prog
ress of public works projects, normally
shut down in severe weather.
During January, 500 men were placed
on public works jobs by the employ
ment service division of the commits
sion as compared with 300 placements
in January 1888. A further increase
in the number of public works place
ments Is expected this month, when
more projects of this type open In the
immediate vicinity of Billings, over ST.
100000 in PWA projects are approved
for construction this year. The en-
ployment division placed over $50 per-
sons in private employment in January,
Of this year, almost Identical with the
number placed in January, 1898.

Beaver, Mink and Muskrats
Occupy 3-Story Mud House

An enterprising beaver has taken
the Madison country housing prob
lem into her own hands and is OPP
Grating a 3-story apartment house
for animals on one of the creeks
of that section-but she's fearful
now that the federal government
may get wind of her scheme and
send its New Dealers in to relieve
what might be termed slum con-
ditions. The unique mud-and-stick
apartment house, which accommo-
dates family of beavers on the
ground floor. a family of muslsrats at
water level and a family of mink in
the penthouse roof, was located re-
Gently by Charles A. Joy, supervisor of
the Deer Lodge national forest. He
told of the animal FILA at an Ana
conda Boy Scout banquet.
The discovery-and Supervisor Joy
has seen the community dwelling idea
carried on by these particular animals
was made at a creek which branches
into the Madison river and starts near
Lake Henry. The forest official made
the discovery innocently as he watched
a mother beaver and two young ones
swimming around in the creek and
then suddenly dive into the beaver
house on which he was sitting.
That wasn't at all unusual, but he
began to take interest when two musk
rats swan up and entered the dwell
ing near the water line. They appar-
emily were "roomers" In the middle

The drafts, prepared at meetings

ping, airplane services, communlca-
tions and the like. They are author

Some of the orders would apply
to problems which did not arise at

Grafton might be regarded as un-
