EACH THURSDAY AT BELT, MONT »Y1A. REMINGTON
ELECTION IS ALL CALVIN COOLIDGE
CooÜdge has been elected and will occupy the Presidential
fog the next four years providing - nothing - unforseen occurs.
LaFollette showed considerable strength in the middle and west
states, while Davis carried not one state outside of the solid
south.
The explanation of this is not hard to find. LaFollette with
has plank* favoring government ownership of railroads and the
nullification of the constitutional power of the Supreme Court was
feared by conservative members of both old parties. In the states
where the democrats had an undoubted majority the old line re
publicans seem to have added their votes to the democratic col
umn, while in the east and middle wert the reverse is true. Thus
the vote of the winning party on natioival issues in many cases
represents the combined conservative vote of the two old parties,
while the liberal members of these parties supported LaFollette.
The decision of the people evidently means that they want no mon
keying with the wheels of progress while the nation is creeping
beck to prosperity.
In Montana it appears that the incessant bombardment of
facts, lies, insinuations and slander directed against Dixon has had
its influence and that Dixon has gone down to defeat while the
rest of the republican state ticket has in general won out.
The will of the people is supreme and in a few weeks the bit
terness of the battle will have passed away and the new order of
things will have been accepted as a matter of course.

Belt Valley Times,
Belt, Montana.
Dear Sir:
I was just reading the Belt Valley
Times and thought I would write and
let you know your paper is read way
out here in the west.
Wé live not many miles from the
Ocean Beach. It is nice to go and
watch the big waves come in. In the
summer time there are thousands of
people come to the Ocean Beach to
spend their summer months.
We lived in Montana for about 20
years. First we lived in Stockett,
then we moved to Sand Coulee, my
father worked in the mines and his
health got poor working in the mines,
so we went to live on « 160 acre ranch
on Little Belt about 12 miles from
Belt
There we lived about 12 years. We
did all our trading in Belt and Arm
ington.
Eleven years ago last August 27th
we came to Menlo, Wash., where my
folks have a large dairy farm. Next
spring they will milk close to 80 cows.
In Menlo they have a farmers
cheese factory where they make cheese
every day. My folks take their milk
to the cheese factory.
Around Menlo there are large dairy
farms. Cheese is shipped from Menlo
by carload all over the country.
When we were children there In
Montana we thought it waa wonder
ful to get an apple once in a while.
Here we have apples that just go to
waste. Apples fall off the trees and
there they lay till cows and chickens
eat them. We pick off the trees all
we want to put away for winter and
then the rest go to waste. I often
think how nice it would be if I could
give them to my Montana friends.
My brother made a visit to Mon
tana last Summer and he subscribed
for the Belt paper so I get to read it
also.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Charles Kero,
Box 96. Naselle. Wash.

PROSPECTOR PLANS
TO USE AIRPLANE
Radio Will Alao Sam in
Diamond FloUU.
New lock.—Diamond mining tn the
mountain Jungles of British Guiana by
means of airplanes and radio ia the
James T. Rogers, explorer and dis
mond prospector of British Galana,
and Dr. A L. Clark of Toronto, aviator.
Ur. Rogers is hero to organise the
expedition, which will start probably
later In the year and consist of tea
members. Including one additional avi
ator, one radio operator and two com
mercial geologists and engineers.
The South American has been Into
the backlnnds of British Guiana many
times and owns several mineral con
cessions there.
Hla determination
never to go back unleaa be could go
by alrplaaa waa reached during hit
last trip, when, on the way, every
member of hie party but himself waa
lost and 117,000 worth of diamonds
sank to the bottom of the Maxarnnl
river.
At the present moment hla brother,
John Rogers, with one companion baa
been lost for several months in the
Jungle and has been reported aa dead.
Aa the result* of hla last trip. William
Lewis, mining engineer, of Learning
ton, Ontario, Ilea hurlé# at Enachu,
and Henry Oeneiaa, engineer, of Bed
ford. Maas., lies at Baltics Grove.
Both died of exposure to tropical con
dition* while they were being takea
back to civilization in the effort to
save them.
"Despite the treasures of the back
lands of British Onisna. which were
reported as far back as Sir Walter
Raleigh's time, conditions are such
that there Is no rush of prospectors
similar to the Klondike." Mr. Rogers
said. "Yet there are men who brave
the great hardships of the trip, and
government reports show that consid
erable wealth in diamonds has been
brought back from the hills.
"One of the by-products of our air
plane Investment ia going to be trans
porting other prospectors hack and
forth from the coast to the mountains.
We feel that we shall have as much
carrying work as we can handle In
the transportation end of onr ventura."
Scientists Investigate
Queer Orkney Fauna
Kirkwall, Scotland.—The Orkneys,
always a source of delight to scien
tists, has this summer been the play
ground for a party of Edinburgh zo
ologists.
The Investigators spent much time
In tracing the development and learn
ing the habits of a little-known spe
cie* of water sheep which is found
only near the island of North Ron
aldshap.
These animals feed on seaweed and
Inhabit the beaches of the Island. Na
ture developed for them legs from
eight to ten Inches longer than those
of a norma] sheep, which allows them
to wade for food. As a rekult of their
unusual diet their meat has a salty
taste, their wool Is particularly coarse
and strong, and they grow larger
than normal sheep.
The zoologists are also studying the
so-called "sea anemones," found only
In the Orkney* These as yet are un
classified and have no scientific name.
They grow on rocks and when covered
by water open and spread out circles
of leaves like dandelions, but when
the tide Is out they fold up and almost
entirely disappear.
Yet they are not flowers, as their
habits Indicate a carnivorous animal
existence. They kill their victims by
poison and then devour than, and
their leaves act as tentacles to
grapple food.
Swedish Forests at Par
After Thousand Years
Stockholm.—Sweden's
sot conservation has managed to keep
the lead in the neck-to-netk race with
the rapidly increasing output of Indus
trial producta, according to a govern
mental report to which the «element
Is made that Sweden has "aa Inex
haustible gold mine la her formte."
This assurance IS regarded as of
great importance to toe nation, since
about «0 per cent of Its exports con
sist of lumber, wood pulp, paper sad
other forest product* In 1628. these
exports alone amounted to a value of
about 8188.000.000. and in toe 12
month« ended last June upward of
$18,000.000 of Swedish wood pulp was
shipped to paper mills In the United
States
The ferrets In Sweden, which have
bees drawn upon for commercial pur
pose« for at lea« 1.000 years, now
ewf about 52 per ceot of the total
land area of the country, and consist
principally of aprnre and pine. -•
