A POSSIBILITY
(Kalispell Inter Lake,

For many years there have been
frequent attempts to develop pulp
or paper industry in western Mon
tana, but without success.
All the necessary materials are
here but a thorough investigation
and report by the late R. H. Nc
Glaughlin, supervisor of the Black
feet National forest more than 20
years ago, showed that lack of mar
ket and prohibitive transportation
costs were what stood in the way.
Mr.. mclaughlin made very ex-
haustive study of the problem. and
even went as far as to have sam
Piles of paper made from Flathead
forest products at the federal lab
oratory at Madison, Wisconsin.
There was no trouble with the proc
ucts, but he learned that there was
an insufficient market to justify an
operation large enough to be prof
liable.
The principal print paper mills OF
cific coast which supply the large
newspapers of that section, and in
the northern Great Lakes region,
which supply the newspapers of the
middle west. Between the Pacific
coast and the middle west there
are no large cities, and consequent
| ly no newspapers of sufficient cir
culation to demand large tonnage
of newsprint. There is very mar
row margin of profit on neWsprint,
so manufacturers say, and conse-
quently a mill located here could
not pay transportation costs and
compete with the mills of the Pa
cific coast or northern Minnesota
and Wisconsin.
However, the war may have
changed conditions, according to the
statement of Supervisor Urquhart
of the Flathead National forest at
Missoula yesterday. Mr.. Urquhart
says European hostilities have cut
off the supply of pulp wood from
Finland, and it is also fact that
much Swedish neWsprint has been
shipped to this country. and as Ger
many has declared wood pulp con-
traband, it is propable that this is
also cut off.
Mr. Urquhart says that Minnesota
pulp and paper interests have made
inquiries as to securing pulp Wooc
from this section.
There is therefore a possibility
that market may be developed fol
the pulp wood of western Montana
This would help local business con
ditions materially, and tend to re
duce unemployment, which is mos
important.

Rock Formation Told

Tor scientist Of the second Byrd
Antarctic expedition. may increase
our knowledge Of how rocks are
formed.
Reporting the results Of a study
Of these rocks to the Geological So
ciety Of America. Dr.. c. N. Fenner,
rock expert Of the Carnegie Insti-
tution's geophysical laboratory, in
Washington, finds that old ideas of
rock formation need to be reviewed.
Until recently, it was believed
that molten rocks deep under the
earths crust resembled hasalt. a
dark heavy rock, of which the PAIL
sades of the Hudson, the Giant $
causeway in Ireland, the Devils
Postpile in California, and many
other famous clifflike structures are
made. As these molten rock
masses came near the surface, GER
tain compounds in them crystallized
as the rock cooled, leaving other
mineral compounds molten until fur
Their cooling took place, and chang
ing, as cooling went on, the chem
ical composition Of the remaining
molten material.
According to this theory, which
has received much support, aka
line materials should crystalline first
from a molten rock magma, leaving
it more acid than before. The rocks
from the Antarctic, however, do not
follow the. theoretical rules of
change, suggesting the geophysi-
cists that laboratory conditions do
not duplicate field conditions very
closely, and that tests should be
made of the rocks themselves and
their materials, and not of labora-
tory specimens under simpler con-
ditions than those existing in nature.

CLEVELAND, May 22-lP-The
Cleveland Indians beat the Boston
Red Sox today at their own game
slugging-and blasted a 9 to 6
victory which lifted the tribe with
in a game and a half of the league
leaders.
Hal Trosky's ninth home u of
the season, plus circuit clouts by
Ken Keltner and Roy Weatherly
gave second-place Cleveland the
opener of the two-game series. Jim
Tabor hit for the circuit for Bos-
ton.
Neither Mel Harder, the Indians
starter, nor Fritz Ostermueller,
who opened for Boston, was effect
i've but Harder stayed long enough
to get credit for the victory. The
Red Sox southpaw, chased in the
was replaced by Jim Bagby,
who was charged with the loss.
Harder went to the showers early
in the fifth after giving up a dozen
hits, but Harry Eisenstat and Joe
Dobson held the advantage.
Keltner's eight-inning homer off
Herb Hash, third Boston twirler,
clinched the victory. 1t drove in
Jeff Heath, who had singled, and
gave Cleveland it's three-run adj
vantage. The Sox had threatened
in the same frame by picking up
a run on Lou Finney's triple and
Ted Williams single.
The Red Sox blasted Is hits to
Cleveland's IS, but several of them
weren't effective. All the homers

Chief Chewchki, the madcap Gyp-

The card in brief will be as

hour and a half.
Doors will be opened at 7 o'clock
to admit early arrivals bent on
getting choice seats, with Mahoney
and Grove casting aside their or
nate "obes and squaring off at $3.50.
After a tough battle Chief Chew
chki managed to lick Tom Ma

While the Chief is prone to en-

cruel tricks such as choking his
man with an electric wire or rub

proved that he can Wrestle on his
merits when his ''tools' are taken
from him.
The bout between Chewchki and
Jack Hader is certain to bristle
with action from the opening gong,
for Hader is a very aggressive
warrior who loves to win, not only
because it will get him main event

of having his hand raised over the

HUBBELL PITCHES
SEVENTH BALL
New York Scores Three Runs
In Two Innings For Win
Over Reds
By JUDSON BAILEY

NEW YORK, May 22-LP-Evil
days have befallen Big Paul Der
ringer, the leading percentage pitch
er of the National league last year,
and today the New York Giants
twice clustered three runs against
him to whip the Cincinnati Reds 6
to 4.
The loss dropped the Reds into a
tie with the Brooklyn Dodgers for
first place.
Carl Hubbell, the once great south
paw king of the Giants, held the
Reds to seven hits, struck out four
and never gave a pass. But this
superlative pitching performance
was only incidental to New York's
victory because the Reds had the
game won if Derringer could have
held on to it.
While the towering Cincinnati
highlander was holding the Giants
scoreless for the first five innings,
his teammates built up a three run
margin for him.
In the second inning John Rizzo
doubled down the leftfield foul line
and Billy Myers, starting his first
game in Fl contests, singled him
home. Then in the third Ernie LON
bardi singled and Rizzo followed
with a lofty home run againt the
left field stands.
D%erringer lost his command OF
the game in the sixth. Burgess
Whitehead led off with a single and
moved to third on two outs. Then
Mel OFT smashed a single to center
for one run and Harry banning hit
his fifth homer of the season, a
drive against the rightfielder screen.
Paul was given another chance
when Bill Werber homered in the
eighth, but it wasn't his day. In
the last half of this inning White
head again led off with a single and
Joe Moore and Frank DeMaree hit
successive singles to bring him
home. Then OFT sacrificed, banning
was passed purposely and Babe
Young singled to center for the
winning runs.
1t was Derringer's fourth loss
against three victories and Hubbell's
third triumph against two defeats.

Garcia To Meet Ouerlin
In Title Bout Tonight

NEW YORK, May 22.-RAFor
the third time since he won it last
October, Ceferino Garcia lays his
worlds middleweight title (New
Ycrk-California version) on the
line tomorrow night in a 15-round
bout with Ken Overlin of Washing
ton in Madison Square Garden.
Out of the scrap may come two
outdoor shows. There is talk of
matching the winner with Light
heavyweight Champ Billy Conn in
one of the New York ball parks
during the summer.
Also, there is a possibility that
tie victor may get a shot at AL
Hostak of Seattle, recognized as
middleWeight king by the National
Boxing association. Nate Drux-
man, Seattle promoter, who ON
trolls Hostak, is comforting here
with Mike Jacobs, head of the goth
Century Sporting club about such
a match. Thus far there is no
agreement since Druxman wants
the bout in Seattle while Jacobs
holds out for New York.
