Response to Finnish Relief
 Appeal EIectriRes His Nation

New York; Dec. 20--( -(Speciall Jan Sibelius. Finland's world famous composer and author of 'Finlandia, !" one of his best known works, today cabled the American people, through Herbert Hoover, national chairman of the Finnish relief fund, that the sympathy displayed by the American public "electrities the civilized world and has convinced more and more people of the justice of Finland's cause"
 While he realized that how Fin- land emerges from the struggle "de- bends in the first inssance on our- selves" he declared that Finland's fate depends also in a large measure on what those nations which prize liberty do." His cable read:
 You Americans wished to hear what think of the fate of Finland now that she is being attacked by. D greatypower. need hardly say that I have only one thoughs, to see the fatherland defended. My anxiety for its welfare and my desire to act fills my heart night and day.
 T have heard of your generosity and gratitude and I have experienced the sympathy with which you in America listened to Finnish music, and I know the understanding shown for the people whose being this music interprets. Recent events show the truly deep comprehension of the

Call The Marines! Government Employees Attacked by Deer,
 Bull, Snakes on
 WPA Project.
(By BILL GARRIGUs)


 South Britain Conn. Dec, 20 EXTRA. EXTRA! - Works Projects Administration employe suffers attack by hostile 200 pound South Britain Buck Deer 4. Mir. Joseph Noonan escapes with only slight damage to person but con- siderable damage to his car.
 While Joseph Noonan, reputedly & W. P. A, engineer, was leisurely motoring homeward from the state Training School for Mental Detectives the other evening, q chunky 200-lb buck deer from the Purchase Hill Section of South Britain Parish lowered its head, let out a couple of snorts, and climbed up the side of the auto mobile. Joe was slightly taken aback by such unwarranted at. tack on a government employe, SO he applied tho brakes and climbed down from his car to investigate, the buck was floundering about beside the way. Joe got out the crank and walloped the deer until It's struggles subsidized, Looking up frcm his labors, MT, Noonan saw a doe and a lawn preparing to charge but the government man squared hls shoulders and got ready for the new offensive, After giving Mir. Noonan chilly stare, the doc trotted away ac- compan.ed by her youngster
 Something has got to be done about making that hospital site n safer place on which to work, Foxes, skunks, poison ivy, and buck deer are a constant menace to the .laborcrs and their bosses, Here's 6 peaceful engineer travel ing along minding his own bus mess and he gets his car all scratched up with no chance to collect damages. Not since a To- cal bull treed 0 W,PA. "archi- teet" who was counting the win dow panes in an old house here, has there been such a disturbance of the peace. Unless something IS done about these hazards, all of Vincent Sullivan's men will have to wear sidearmS or be protected by q regular guard detail. (What local yokeis cannot understand Is why tho natives never suffer an attack .. Perhaps it's their protective colorlng, or their repu. tatlon for dealing with any crea- ture that wears hair.)

Deeer Lodge Forest
Leads in 1888 Visitors

More than half a million tourists
visited II national forests in the north
ern Rocky mountain region during the
1888 tourist season, E. w. Kelley, re-
gional forester, advised Helena forest
officials.
Deer Lodge forest, with headquar-
ters at Butte, entertained the greatest
number of guests, with Beaverhead for
est second Helena ranked fifth in pop
ularity.
The average tourist stayed in the
forest two days. Thirty-one percent
were fishermen, 10 percent hunters, 6
percent sought winter sports and the
remaining Al percent came to picnic,
swim, camp, sail boats, study nature
and otherwise enjoy the forest play
grounds.
Kelley said the recreationaI use Of
forests In region No. has outgrown
camp development and facilities. Be
cause of this lack of grounds and
equipment, recreational development
has been given high priority on CCC,
WPA, ERA and other emergency for
est work programs, Kelley said

STATE COLLEGE CANCELS
MORATORIUM ON TRACK

Schubert Dyche, director of athletics
at Montana State college, said q mora
Bobcat school had been Cancelled.
He said plans for the State college
to be represented on the cinder path
this spring were made after 100 track
aspirants and m" club members had
protested dropping the sport at a mass
meeting.
The Bobcat thinly-clads will partici-
pate in the usual events, Dyche said,
including the intercollegiate relays
April 20, the state intercollegiate track
meet at Missoula May Is, and possibly
the Rocky Mountain conference meet
at Colorado Springs May 20.
The moratorium was announced Feb.
3 because OF lack of finances and a
small turnout of team aspirants.

the laundry work had been completed
Naturally, with such large numbers
of Chinese gathered together IN one
camp, there was bound to be some
sort Of friction. The Chinese were
organized into tongs and every Sc
often a minor tong war would break
out, much to the amusement of the
white miners. One Of the favorite stor-
les of old-timers In Butte, who we're in
Virginia City in the 1905 is that Of
the Chinese war Of Alder gulch
It happened sometime In the 1880s.
The exact date is not recalled but the
story has grown to almost legendary
proportions.
Cinnamon dropped their picks and
shovels and rushed to their Shacks to
gather rifles, pistols, revolvers, butcher
knives hunting knives hatchets and
other weapons. Then they gathered at
the lower end of the gulch.
According to one old-timer, more
than 1000 shots were fired during the
course of the battle. When the war"
ended and the battlefield was cleared
two Chinese lay dead. They were not
killed by leaden slugs. They had been
stabbed to death.
After the battle the white author
tiles stepped In and took charge of
things. Murder had been committed
and someone had to pay for the crime.
After the investigation, several Chi
nese were arrested and brought to
trial. They arranged for defense law
yer and things got under way.
The defense attorney showed preju-
dice and the first jury was discharged.
A new trial was started and the same
difficulties were met
During the second trial It became
necessary to disinter the dead Chinese
In order TO verify a pertinent bit Of
evidence. The order was given and
men were sent to open the graves.
When the work was finished no Chi
nese were discovered. The bodies OF
the slain Cinnamon had been removed
from their graves.
Case Is Dropped
AS q result Of this turn of events
the willy Chinese had managed to put
a cramp In the legal machinery Of
Virginia City. The authorities were
stalemated and the case was dropped.
Years later, two skeletons were dis
covered In a mine tunnel. They were
believed to have been the skeletons of
the two Cinnamon slain In the Chi
nese war Of Alder gulch. Friends Of
the Chinese on trial for murder are
said to have disinterred the bodies
during the dead Of night and hidden
them In the mine tunnel. At any rate,
there were no further casualties as the
result of the war.
After the 1905 Alder glllch slipped
down the skids TO oblivion In rapid
style. It was already on its decline |
when the white men turned their

was called and an investigation started.
The result Of the investigation sent
them into hysterla Of excitement.
Every one of the plates Of the dredge
was clogged with gold. In an amazing
ly short time 1t had filled with all the
gold 1t could hold and was discharging
the remainder out the rear along with
the waste dirt. They had been digging
through a landslide that had covered
the original creek bed Of Alder gulch.
The slide had diverted the creek
around its point and beneath the slide
q fortune Of gold had laid covered and
unnoticed until the dredge crew acct
dentally decided to dig through the
point instead Of going around it.
The days cleanup from the dredge
was $4,000. A sizeable fortune was OBJ
tanned in one single afternoon.
In more recent years, still more
modern dredges than the steam mon
sters of few years back have been
at work in Virginia City. More gold
has been discovered because of the low
operating cost Of the dredges so that
more work win probably be mapped
out for the future.
Modern science moves on to find gold
In paying quantities In territory where
even the patient Chinaman gave up
In disgust, firmly believing that the
placer fields of Alder gJIch had been
completely worked out.
