Accidents Kill More

Accidental deaths OF American

Casualties to the armed forces from
Pearl Harbor to NOV. is, including the
American campaign, have been 56D4

ing or prisoners total Of 1855. {"
the organization stated
Casualties to American workers
through accidents in the same period
have been 1850 dead and $500 GOO
wounded"
The council reported that 8o.OO0
Americans had been killed and an
proximately 100000 injured ia &C
cidents since last Dec. z. Those totals
embraced non-workers as wei as
workers and included thousands OF
skilled workers and key men ia the

made public to emphasize anew. the
maxim that accidents help the Axis
by draining manpower that is vital to
victory.

Bull Doesn't Like
Life With Moose

A white-faced bull belonging to W.
S. fash now appreciates the value Of
civilization.
The bull deserted the rest of the
herd and started to range with six
moose in the Elkhorn mountains near
Polaris. 1t was fine for a while, but
when more than a foot of snow
covered the hills the bull, lacking the
heavy antlers worn by the moose,
found the going tough and was near
exhaustion when discovered by a
searcher.
The bull quickly recovered when
given hay which had been stored for
feeding saddle horses used in winter
scouting trips In that section.

LOG JAM GAVE
ELECTRIC CITY
FIRST SAWMHL

A log jam on Smith river was In
| directly responsible for establishment
Of the first sawmill in Great Falls
little more than So years ago.
A portion of the first board cut at
the little mill on the banks of the
Missouri river near the present water
works pumping plant, is to be found
today In the public library.
The story Of the founding Of the
first Sawnill here was revived by the
recent arrival In Great Falls of e. L.
Wall, who moved his plant to Great
base. 1t was his father, Thomas A.
Wall, who moved his plant to Great
Falls In 1884 so that q contract be-
tween Ira Myers and Paris Gibson
could be fulfilled
The day the first operations at the
mill were conducted here Thomas
Wall handed the first cut to Myers. |
remarking:
IF you're going to make a great city |
here, you'd better keep this. In so or
100 years it win be q curiosity"
Myers gave portion of the board
to Gibson and retained the remainder.
Shortly before his death Gibson told
Myers he had lost his portion Of the
board and suggested that Myers
should present his to the Commercial
club for preservation. The presenta-
ton was made and the board was soon
added to the historical collection OF
the public library
Costly Firew0Od
The founding Of the first sawmill
here hinged on the price Of firewood
in Fort Benton and Gibson's plans
for building the city of Great Falls.
The log jam on Smith river is what
eventually brought the logs to Great
Fails.
Myers had been in the cattle busi-
ness near Choteau. He sold out and
IN a business trip to Fort Benton
'ound wood selling at $12 a cord. He
q stand of timber on
smith river south and west of Great
Fails and conceived the idea Of cutting
rees there, floating them down to
Fort Benton and cutting them up for
wood
In the fall of 1883 Myers hired a
rev Of 20 men to fell the trees and
INSTRUCTED a boom to catch the logs
zhen they arrived at Fort Benton.
The following summer Myers started
ut from Fort Benton enroute to
ninth river to see how the drive was
citing along. He made the trip to
treat Falls with Paris Gibson, who
ad pitched tent on the river bank
bout where the municipal swimming
DOL is now located
Gibson talked of the need for lum-
err and urged Myers to stop his logs
! the mouth OF Smith river and bring
lem on down to Great Falls later.
[yers, fully expecting to see his logs
eating down the river at any mo-
tent, made no promises. He went ON
he next day to the mouth Of Smith
yer and found no logs. -Four miles
Dstream he found the drive jammed-

Myers Immediately made arrange
ments 70 construct a boom across the
mouth Of the river and the last chains
and ropes were placed as the lam
broke. The logs piled I'D In the mouth
OF the river for q distance Of three
miles but the boom held and Myers
was able to go back the next day and
report to Gibson that the timber was
available.
Walls Baiu Moved
With plenty Of logs on hand, Myers
realized he had no sawIniIl. Gibson
recalled there was small one operat-
ing at Hollywood. Myers went to the
plant, operated by Thomas Wan.
Walls mill had a capacity Of only
about 5000 feet q day. Myers already
had plans for bringing In a larger
mill but he needed lumber at once so
q deal was made whereby wall would
move his mill to Great Falls. The mill
was In operation on Aug. s, 1884. less
than a month after Myers made his
original deal with Gibson.
A. M. Hotter OF Helena that same
year was operating a portable mill up
the Missouri river, rafting the cut
boards and dimension stuff down the
river to a yard on the west side.

tendent.

Second Czech VILLAGE
Is Razed by Nazis in
Heydrich Reprisa|
Villagers Accused Of
Hiding Puruchutists;;
Men Reported Slain

LONDON, June 25.-The Czech
community of Lezaky in Bohemia
has been razed by the Nazis on
the accusation that the villagers
hid parachutists involved in the
Staying of Reinhard Heydrich,
protector" of Bohemia -Moravia,
it was reported today in a Buda-
pest radio broadcast heard by a
Czech government listener here.
The Vichy French news service
quoted a Prague announcement as
saying all the adult male population
was executed. Lezaky was described
as a community Of about 100 inhabi-
tantS.
This was the second village wiped
out by the Germans in vengeance
for the death of Heydrich, the Ger
mans having reported June 10 they
had slain the male population Of
Lidice, near Prague, sent the women
to concentration camps and the
children to educational institu-
tions.
Abost $50 men faced the firing
squads in that village.
Other phases of the purge of anti
Axis Czechs continued. The Buda-
pest radio said 18 Czechs were SEN
fenced to death at Prague yesterday
and II at Bruenn (Brno). The
charges were not stated.
Heydrich died of his wounds on
June 4. The Nazis alleged he had
been wounded by an anti-tank bomb
of British manufacture.
Even before his death they started
killing hundreds of hostages in re-
prisal. Last week they said two
former officers in the Czech Army
were responsible, that they had
parachuted to earth from a British
plane, and that they were shot to
death in Prague church on
June 18.
LeZaky is in the Bohemian district
of Chrudium, predominantly agri-
cultural community 10 miles SOUTH
east of Prague.

Petroleum Corp. was urged today
by Secretary Of the Interior
Ickes to prevent probably un-
necessarily stringent rationing
orders and perhaps actual short
ages of petroleum or some of its
products for direct military use"
Secretary 1ckes also is petroleum
co-ordinator for national de-
fenSe.
He told the House Banking Com
mittee that, under the terms of the
legislation, the corporation would
be charged with the specific duty of
causing:
l. The delivery Of petroleum and
petroleum products into shortage
areas to meet military and essential
civilian demands.
2. The expansion and most eff
cient use of petroleum transporta-
ton facilities.
3. The production of the necessary
amounts of the specific petroleum
products required for the war pro-
gram and to meet essential civilian
demands.
Would Maintain Reserves.
4. The maintenance of adequate
reserves of petroleum or such petro-
leum products as are of strategic
importance in quality or as to loca-
ton.
5. The return, on such terms and
conditions as will protect the public
interest, to the natural underground
reservoir or other disposition of
petroleum products purchased by the
corporation for the purpose Of assur-
ing the production of other petro-
leum products.
"At the moment" Secretary 1ckes
told the committee, there exists no
overall shortage of crude petroleum
as it comes from the wells. But the
continuance of this condition de-
pends upon two fundamental factors
how long the war lasts and how
we'll we use and conserve our exist
ing wells and reserves.
with the loss of the oil of Burma
and the Dutch East Indies and the
disruption of tanker movements
from sources of supply in South
America, the United States has sud-
denly become the only adequate
source of supply not only for its own
vastly increased domestic consump-
ton, but also for the armies. navies
