Chamber Of Commerce Plans Minstrel
Show To Aid Civic Improvement Fund

The October meeting of the Cham.
Der of Commerce was held Tuesday
at the city hall at $500 p. m. Chief
item of business at the session was
the explanation of the change OF
the Unemployment Act, by Charles
B. Wagner, field adviser, from Spo-
kane.
The major change, he said, was in
the number of men employed before
the act takes effect. Formerly, an
employer of eight or more men had
to pay 81 per cent of the wages Of
the employees to the state Unemploy-
ment office, to be used as unemploy-
ment insurance by the State. Be-
ginning with July 1, 1941, however,
any employer hiring one or more
persons must pay this 81 per cent
assessment
A number of men attending the
meeting asked for further informa-
ton regarding the Act, and the an
swers were given by Mr.. Wagner,
who is trouble shooter" for the
State. The various forms to be sent
In with payments of assessments, and
reports of employees leaving the job
voluntarily, thus rendering them
selves ineligible for unemployment
Benefits, were carefully explained
1t was reported that the State
highway departm emit seems to be
contemplating moving it's garage and
equipment to Coulee City, if suit
able site can be obtained The Cham
Der of Commerce will work with the
City council On this matter and help
further the project. as it would mean
much to Coulee City.
Following a discussion of increas-
ing the Civic improvement fund,
startled last summer with returns
from the donkey baseball game and
the carnival, ii was tentatively de-
cided that the Chamber will put on
a minstrel show. with adj home tai
emit, at some time this fall or winter.

strel shows and willing to BOOST lis !

Bill for after he had quieted down a
little he tried to settle with him on a
monetary basis for the skeIeton-and
nothing would help Bills finer feel
ings except $500.
Dr. Jamison was a Scot and pretty
canny himself, and after considerable
dickering they compromised on $500
for the bones and Bill threw in an
old pack horse, worth about 81, TO
pack out his father-in-laW's bones and
some other specimens the doctor had
collected.
This is the most unique transaction
in craftsmanship that is on record. All
kinds Of statesmen brag about their
sales but never one yet has sold his
father-in-laws bones and a 81 cayuse
for $500. OF course, if a man could
brag that he had sold his mother-inS
laws bones for $500, he would have
1t all over Bill, but no one heard of
anything like that and nobody else
ever did.
The doctor told the story about buy
ing the bones and laughed about it.
and a man named Clark, who was
with the Crows on Flat Willow when
Long Horse was killed, told about the
battle.
Some years afterward Bill was sent
to the penitentiary at Deer Lodge for
stealing cattle. When he got out he
was asked about Long Horse and he
claimed he did pretty well off of
Jamison. He said, where do you sup
pose old Long Horse is nowP He's in
Dublin. Did you ever hear tell of a
Crow Indian being in Dublin, Ireland?"

9-MONTHS AUTO
TOLL Is 1880
YEARS TOTAL EXPECTED To HIT
4O,5OO, HIGHEST MARK EVER
TO BE RECORDED

The National Safety council states
that 27860 men, women and children
lost their lives as a result of motor
vehicle accidents in the United States
during the first three quarters of 1871.
The toll for the nine months was
II percent greater than during a sim
liar period last year.
During September 3,77O persons were
injured fatally on streets and high
ways. 1t was the 14th consecutive
month to show an increase over the
corresponding month of the previous
year but the size Of the increase-14
percent-was the smallest since last
January.
The urban safety leaders, with their
annual death rate per 100000 popula-
ton as computed by the council, were
ranked this way at the end of the
first nine months of 1871:
Group 1 more than 100000 popula-
tion)-Boston $40; Milwaukee 80; New
York 90.
Group 2 (25O,OOO-5OO, OO)-Memphis
Al; Providence So; Kansas City ~.
Group 8 600. O00-25O, OO0) - Omaha

Group 4 10000 100, OOO)-Union City,

Among smaller cities with perfect
records through the first three quar-
tiers were Chelsea, Mass; Arlington,

Dodge, Ia, and Leominster, Mass.
Forty thousand five hundred deaths
1,750,00O nonfatal injuries :.
81, OO0, 600, 900 in economic loss
That, according to authoritative
sources, viii be the traffic accident
toll during the year. It viii be the
heaviest cost in life, limb and prop
erty in the history of highway trans
portation. Highest previous year was
1887 when death came to 39,643 per-
sons and injury to more than 100000
as the result of motor vehicle traffic
accidents.
