BRIGHT FUTURE IS
SEEN FOR BILLINGS
Connolly, Pioneer and Long Time
Prominent Civic Worker, Says Com
ing Years Will Outshine Great Past
Progress.

In so years it has grown from a
tiny cOwtown and trading post to
the metropolis of an area as large
as New York state. That's how F.
b. Connolly, for So years a resident
of the city. feels about Billings,
and no living man knows more in
timately than he of the history of
the city.
He pays tribute to the "resourceful-
ness" Of Billings people, which, he
said, have made Billings perhaps one
OF the fastest growing cities In the
United States" Estimates place the
population at more than 25000 an in
crease of IS percent since 1900
Into the fortieS the city surges with
every indication pointing to the ac-
celeratlon of the pace which has made
1t one of the broadest and richest
trade areas in the nation, he said.
Connolly, president of the Connolly
Machinery Co. is the only man to
serve more than two terms as presi-
dent of the Billings Commercial club.
He was president in 1919, 1920, 1923 and
1929. Before that he had served one
year as president of the chamber of
commerce, which disappeared with the
formation of the Commercial club.
Connolly states there's a thrill" in
looking back over the long stretch of
years when, as he says, every econom-
ic shock which might have retarded
the growth OF the city and the area
OF which it is the center has been

One of the least known Indian
sIaughters In Montana history was
the Hay Corral fight, which took
place on Aug. /, 1867, ON WOrman
creek, 40 miles south Of the present
town of Hardin, near old Fort G.
F. Smith, back in the lonely hills.
Perhaps the reason the Hay Cor
raj battle is not better known is
due TO the fact that General Brad
lev. then In command of Fort G.
F. Smith, never made an official
report of the fight. Many believe
this failure to report the affair
was due 10 the generals hardness
in sending help to the beleaguered
men.
Eighteen soldiers and one civilian
were engaged, that August morning,
in putting up hay for the lonely out
post on the frontier, when large
number of Indians. mostly Sioux and
CheyenneS, rode up and surrounded
the corral where the men were work
ing. Before the Indians rode off sew
eral hours later, the entire IS men
were left for dead.
E. G. Burnett, the civilian, was not
dead, but was badly wounded.
General Bradley and the remainder
of his troop were back in the hills,
a mile or more from the scene OF
The slaughter. Iney neaIQ the SuOOb-
ing but did not attach proper i'm
portance to it, and when finally they
did investigate, they found Is dead
and / nearly dead. Burnett was taken
to Fort Washable, where he remained
for about a year. never fully recover
ing from his wounds. Burnett was able
to give a full description of the battle.
The fight, uneven though 1t was,
lasted for several hours, the soldiers
giving a fine account of themselves,
but they were too greatly outnum-
bered to hope to win. The exact num-
Der of Indians killed is not known,
as the reds as usual took away all
their dead, but Burnett says that
many more Indians than whites fell.
The fallen soldiers were buried at
Fort c. F. Smith, and markers of
native stone were placed over their
graves.

In 1928 a dedication Of this battle
ground took place at Hardin. The dedi-

NYA JOB SERVICE
AIDS UNEMPLOYED
PLACEMENT OF YOUTHS IN PRT-
WAITE EMPLOYMENT
GAINING

Figures compiled before the
Christmas rush show that the
Junior placement services operated
by the national youth administra-
ton In Montana are steadily in
creasing their service to unem-
plOyed youths, J. B. Love, state
youth administrator, has an
nounced.
John A. Heb, junior counselor in
the Billings office of the Montana
employment service, reports that
placements Of youths in private in
dustry have been keeping pace with
the number of new youth applicants,
and that in November there were 10
new applicants and 20 placements in
private industry. These figures, Love
said, are especially encouraging in the
light of reports from the NYA's Wash
ington office showing that during the
last few months. placements Of youths
IN private industry by the junior
placement services throughout the
United States have shown from rs to
100 percent increase over correspond
ing periods last year. During October
alone, ii All youths were placed in
private industry.
The appointment of Junior coun-
Selors and the establishment of junior
placement services began In March,
1880, Love SAID. Inc Work is carried
on in cooperation with state employ
ment services. AS of Nov. /, 1899, spe-
cial employment services for young
people were being provided in lat
cities where the NYA originally car
ried the financial responsibility, state
services have assumed
part or all of this. In addition, in 50
other cities. state employment services
have opened junior employment di-
visions, following the procedure set up
by NYA but sponsored by their own
funds.
Junior counselors are now established
