$485,000 ALLOTTED MONTANA
FOR USE ON FOREST TRAILS
MISSOULA, Aug. 7.—Allotment of
$485,000 of forest development roads
and trails funds from public works
money to Montana is announced by
Maj. Evan Kelley, regional forester
here. Montana and Idaho together will
have approximately $1,000,000 for such
work.
All projects to be financed by this
money must be on the forest devel

trails in national forests. The sum is
less than available under the regular
appropriation a year ago.
Plans are ready for the work, Major
Kelley said, but no work may be done
until the money is actually received
here.
"We do not know when the money
will be made available," said Major
Kelley. "Unless it comes soon we will
not be able to undertake some of the
work planned for the higher back
country, where winter comes early."—

Libby Officials Consider
Plans For New City Hall
It seems very probable that Libby
will have a new city hall. Frank Brink
man, architect of Kalispeli, was in Lib
by last night and met with the city
council to discuss city hall matters. Un
der present conditions and the prob
able terms of the loan, all members of
the city council are much in favor of
the proposition . After a thorough dis
cussion of the matter from all angles,
Brinkman was instructed to submit plans
for a $15,000 buiding. City Clerk Veld
man is- wiring today to Washington for
blanks with which to make application
for the mpaey from the National R»
covery administration.
Th e national administration is very
anxious that citiea, counties and other
corporate bodies take out loans for con

Ten Lively Men Will Tangle in Five
Bouts Saturday
Night
It has been many moons since wet
have had a boxing match in the old
burg. Chief Hoffman has been busy
for the past month lining up the C. C.
C. boys and he has finally succeeded!
jn matching the- boys from Troy and
Rexford, The scrap will take place at
the ball park 8:30 p. m. Saturday eve
ning.
Word comes from the two camps that
the boys are all set and ready to go,
they have been training faithfully, and
w h cn y OU figure they are the pick of
five hundred husky young men, you
, , , , ,
can just bet that they had to strut,
their stuff to get the change to defend
the name of their camp
The curtain raiser will be a fast bout
between Jack Surrey of the Rexford
camp and Billy Curry from the Troy
camp. Both boys weigh 133 pounds and
hail from the slate of New York.
The first preliminary will show a lit- j
tie local color. Lee Thornton of Troy,
local Troy boy, will clash with Clar- 1
ence Smith of the Rexford camp. Smith I
claims Syracuse, N. Y., as his home I
town, Thoranton tips the beam at 158,
You will recall seeing]
a
Smith 153.
Thornton in action here some two years
ago. At that time he was a promising
youngster and with a little weight and
more experience he has developed into
a first class boxer. The up river boy
is going to have to stretch himself if
he stays the limit with Thornton. This
bout is also for three rounds and our
guess is that it will be the show of the
evening.
The second preliminary will find
Emmet Shea of Butte for the Troy
camp and Micky Yale of Syracuse, N. Y.,
for the Rexford camp doing their best
to take home the bacon. We know they
make them tough in Butte, but this,
boy Salin has a reputation for staying
on his feet. The boys from Rexford are
betting that the bout won't go the three
rounds. andT the Irish from Troy feel
the same way. It will be fast and fun
ous. Shea weighs 152 pounds, Salin 147,
The semi-final will bring some more
Butte and New York men together,
Bill Maloney of Butte will carry the
Troy colors while Jimmy Moran of
New York City will work for the Rex
ford camp. These two Irish laddies are
in top notch shape and will put up a
dandy scrap.
The main event will bring together
the pick of both camps. Hula Sullivan
of Butte, weight 135 pounds, the Troy
campand Micky Yale of Syracuse, N. Y.,
weight 136 pounds doing his stuff for
the boys at Rexford. We know that this
boy Sully carries dynamite in either
fist, cool and fast. He loves a scrap.
He never waits for his man, boring in
all the time, "nie boys from Troy are
betting the works, including the camp
buildings, that Sully will come out on,
top. We are not so sure about that.
This fellow Yale has taken everything
he ever went up aginst. He has yet to
hit the canvas. He starts fighting from
the first bell and never lets up. These
two boys will give the crowd a run
for their money. No fooling. You are
going to see action and plenty when
these two sons of Erin clash,
The curtain raiser will start prompt
ly at 8:30. The ring is being constructed
in front of the grand stand. It will be
well lighted and everything will be
done to accomodate the crowd. Ray
Russell will be the third man in the
ring. With Ray running the shows, we
know that he will keep the boys going.
He isn't a bit backward when it comes
to telling the boys to dig in.
Remember the time-8;30 Saturday
evening, at the ball park. Admission to
grandstand 50 cents; general admission
25 cents.
Come early and avoid the rush.
Bring the ladies. It will be a clean
show and it will only cost you 25 cents).,

1 TENANTS HAVE RIGHT
' *'*
BOZEMAN, Aug, 8—Grow«» who
planted or produced wheat for tho 1633
crop wifi receive adjustment payments
under the government wheat plan thin
year, even though they are tenants and
move this fall, according to M. L WU
son, chief of the wheat production sec
Ition of the Agricultural Adjustment
! Administration.

<The administration ia beginning a

wiIsor f saySi ^ payment *
for the 1933 crop. Nature did the re
ducing this year. The wheat administra
tion will help farmers in the next two
years to hold the gains made this year.
"The problem is fairly simple where
tenants do not change on a rented
farm. The landlord and tenant agree
to reduce acreage and the payment is
divided between them according to the
share each gets of the crop.
"The big problem arises when the
tenant is moving from the farm this
fall, as some are already planning. Here
the payment for 1933 must be between
the landlord and the tenant who farmed
the land in 1933.
"Suppose a tenant has 320 acres of
wheat in 1933. His share is two thirds
of the crop, and his average annual
production is 3,200 bushels. The owner
decides to farm the land or to change
tenants in 1934. He and the new tenant
agree to reduce the acreage to 256 acres
in 1934, if that reduction is required.
"The total 1933 payment of about $450
will be divided between the owner and
