PLAN TO OPEN
TIRE FACTORY
IS MATURING
Company Expects to Begin
Putting Plant in Order This
Week; Hold Meetings.
Sufficient. funds will be raised
through sale of stock in the Montana
Cor« Tire Co. during the present
wftfk to make possible resumption of
work on the interior of the plant, it
was suited Saturday by C. A. Robert
son of the Akron Engineering Co.,
who is in Great Falls to superintend
the raising of needed money and the
commencement of operations. Ap
proximately $20,000 is necessary to
plaice the plant in readiness for opera
tion. according to the engineer's esti
mate.
!*'We are* interesting (ireat ï alls
people in the company by holding
meetings at the plant and explaining
th« business and the scope of contem
plated operations," said Mr. Iiobert
«©n. "Two meetings were held this
week, the last one bringing out about
people. Another meeting will be
fceld next Tuesday, when we expect
900 people to attend. We are putting
tbe plant's situation squarely up to
the community and frankly stating its
financial requirements.
Will Raise $150,000.
'"The $20,000 we expect to have
jrabscribed next week will put the
plant in order, but stock will continue
to be offered until we have raised
$160.000. We expect to raise the
»»fcole fund in three blocks. The first
I have already described: the second
will be a $30.(t0(> issue to be used in
baying materials for the start and the
remaining $100.000 will be used in
buying a complete stock of materials
and in carrying the plant until its earn
ings begin to come in."
Mr. Robertson's company supervised
construction of the plant and is under
contract to supervise the manufacture
of tires, the business management re
maining with the tire company. lie
stated that the geographical location
of the plant will, give it a distinct ad
vantage in the matter of freight rates.
Has Rate Advantage.
The charge on the longest possible
haul of raw rubber will be $2.005 a
cwt., he asserts, while the charge on
manufactured tires from the nearest
competing manufacturing point, is
$4.085, in addition to which is the
freight charge on raw material to the
factory.
The Great Falls plant will be placed
in operation as soon as the interior
is completed and a portion of the $30,
000 stock issue sold. The remainder
of the stock to be offered now will be
placed on the market whîle the plant
is turning out. its product, Mr. Robert
son stated. About 150 men will bo em
ployed when the plant is first started
and 1000 employes will be required to
run at full capacity. A maximum out
put would amount to approximately
$3.000.000 annually.

ONLY DRY LAND
FAIR IN STATE
AT FT. BENTON
Exhibits Will Be $est From
Community Fairs; Histori
- cal Pageant a Feature.
The only wholly dry land county fair
to be held in the state this year will
be tlie Chouteau county fair at Fort
Benton, September 6 to 8, according
to Secretary Hans Rudolph, who was
in Great Falls Saturday. Mr. Rudolph
said that an excellent exhibit of agri
cultural products is assured. An ap
propriation of $500 has been made by
Chouteau county for an exhibit at the
state fair and the secretary is confi
dent that it will make a good showing
against competitors from irrigated sec
tions.
Small Fairs First.
A series of community fairs will be
held at Highwood, Geraldine, Big San
dy and Carter before the county expo
sition and the best exhibits will be
taken from each place for the Fort
J Benton fair.
A historical pageant, featuring the
development of Montana from the time
of the old Fort Benton, Montana's
earliest, center of civilization, will be a
feature of the fair. Fort Benton is
one of the white man's trading posts
in Montana and was the head of navi
gation on the Missouri river.
A band of Blackfeet Indians, with
many of the full-blood chiefs who have
seen, the development of Montana since
the time the title of chief carried with
it authority over a host of fighting
braves, will take part in the pageant.
Mr. Rudolph is himself a member of
the Blackfeet tribe, having been form
ally adopted a year ago. with the
euphonious name of "Morning Eagle."
On North Circuit.
The Chouteau fair is a member of
the Northern Fair circuit, which em
braces the fairs at Poplar. Glasgow,
Dodson and Fort Benton.
The Whitefish junior band, which
was a popular favorite at the conven
tion of the Montana State Press asso
ciation recently, has been engaged for
the occasion and an excellent racing
program has been prepared. Eleven
horses are now in the river city train
ing for the event and several others
are expected to clear the wire on the
first day.
BIRTHS
A daughter was born August 13 at
the Deaconess hospital to Mr. and
Mrs. C. G. Bentson of Lothair,
GIVEN PHYSICAL
EXAMINATIONS
Large Proportion Found in
Need of Treatment; All
Unit School Included.
Nearly 1,400 school children of the
Cascade county unit district were given
physical examinations during the school
year ending in June, 1921, according to
Jane Keeney, county superintendent of
schools. Of this number, 1,043 were
found in need of medical or surgical
treatment. Through investigations
made by Dr. D. K. Woods, employed
by the unit school board, the health of
94 children has been corrected, the
number including the pupils examined
during the 1919-1920 school year.
Enlarged tonsils and adenoids are
the prevailing ailments among^ school
children, according to Miss Iveeney's
statement of the rural health work. It
was found that 713 pupils were defect
ive in this regard. Defective teeth
constitutes another marked affliction,
309 children coming under this head.
The eximinations disclosed that 227
children were suffering from malnutri
tion and 172 from wax plug. One hun
dred and sixteen pupils are being
treated for defective vision. Only one
case of pulmonary tuberculosis, and
this is only suspected, was brought out
in the examinations.
Results are Good.
"I am convinced that the system of
health work in the rural communi
ties of Cascade county is bringing
about good results,"' said Miss Keeney.
"We were somewhat pessimistic when
it was found that finances would not
permit the employment of a nurse, but
we have worked out a system of cir
cular letters, accompanied by a come
back report from the parents, which
has brought about virtually the same
results that would have been attained
through a nurse.
"Not a single school was missed this
year. We have had the best of co
operation from the parents. Instead
of resenting the examinations, they
have welcomed them. In the cases
where parents have been unable to
afford expert medical attention for
their children, it has been arranged to
have them placed under the care of
specialists, who give their services
gratis. There has been a noticeable
improvement in the health of the chil
dren as the result of the examinations.
While we have as yet been unable to
report many corrections, we know that
great benefits have been achieved.
Expense Is Small.
"Our system does not involve a great
deal of expense. When the law was
passed two years ago requiring physi
cal examination of school children, we
sought to find out how much money
would be available for this work.
When the budgets from the local school
boards came in it was found that the
aggregate budget amounted to $5,000.
Employment of several doctors to con
duct the examinations did not seem a
wise financial move, bo it was ar
ranged with Dr. Woods to take over
the work at a salary of ?1.<NX> a year.
His traveling expenses are very little,
as his trips are usually take n in con
nection with the inspections of my of
fice. Dr. Woods' salary is virtually all
the expense attached to the medical
examinations."
Board is Satisfied.
E. F. Lyman of Cascade, chairman
of the county unit board, agrees with
Miss Keeney in the belief that the
system is both efficient and economical.
He spoke of the proposition made by
the full time health officer to take
over the examinations which, he said,
was rejected when it was found that
a greater expenditure was requested
than required under the plan already
established.
173 Free Vaccinations
Given at Sand Coulee
in July, Records Show
During July, 173 free vaccinations
against small pox and typhoid fever
were given at Sand Coulee by the
physicians of that town, according to
Dr. F. T. Foard, public health officer.
The materials for the work were fur
nished by the Great Falls and Cascade
county health office. This, says Dr.
Foard, shows the increased interest, in
possible prevention of disease in that
town.
Miss Dora Mecklinburg. Cascade
county field nurse for the Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu
berculosis. will return from a month's
vacation Sunday. She will resume her
work in the Cascade county and Great
Falls health office Monday, and Tues
day will conduct the regular weekly tu
berculosis clinic in (ireat Fall.
Fourteen babies and three pre
school age children were examined at
a baby clinic at Sand Coulee Friday.
Miss Neila M. Woods, Red Cross
nurse, and Dr. Foard conducted the
clinic. A similar clinic will be held at
Fort Shaw next Wednesday.
McLean Must Serve
Time at Deer Lodge;
Parole Is Refused
D. E. McLean's hope for parole from
the two to four year's imprisonment
he faces in Montana state prison as
the penalty for robbery, will not be
realized. District Judge J. B. Leslie,
who sentenced McLean last Wednes
day. has decided that the confessed
robber must serve his term. He was
taken to Deer Lodge Saturday morn
ing by Deputy Sheriff Fred Huotari.
When McLean was brought before
Judge Leslie to receive his sentence,
he asked the court to grant him tem
porary parole until his wife's health
improved. Judge Leslie agreed to de
fer his committment to the state pris
on for ft few days while he considered
the request, but he told McLean that
he merited no sympathy.
McLean was arrested in Great
Falls, August 2, soon after his return
from Helena. He was held on the
charge of robbing a drug store pro
prietor of $11.50 on the night of April
15 and he later gave a signed confes
sion of his guilt.
TWO PATIENTS ARE TAKEN
TO WARM SPRINGS ASYLUM
In the custody of Court Bailiff J. F.
Donaher and Deputy Sheriff Edith
Connelly, Theodore Forstrom and
Mary J. Strahle, adjudged insane, were
taken Saturday morning to the state
insane asylum at Warm Springs. The
woman was ordered committed to the
asylum Friday and Forstrom was ad
judged insane Thursday.
No Detention Home
for Delinquents Now,
Says County Board
It is not likely that the county will
take early steps toward the establish
ment of a detention home for del ; n
quent, dependent and neglected chil
dren, as provided in a law passed at
the last session of the legislature.
Ben C. Johnston, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, said
Saturday that immediate ''action was
out of the question because of the lack
of funds.
The opinion on the law, written re
cently by Attorney General W. -D.
Rankin, which was received by the
commissioners Saturday, does not state
a definite time in which the detention
home must be established..
It reads as "soon as conveniently
possible" and the commissioners have
virtually decided that the convenient
time will not come until next fall. It
is the opinion of the county boaid
that a detention home is not a press
ing need at this time.
DELAYPAVlG
THIRD AVENUE
UNTIL SPRING
Without Discussing Materials,
Property Owners Decide
to Postpone Work.
A meeting of Third avenue south
property owners Saturday night, called
primarily to determine materials for
the paving district on this avenue be
tween Sixth and Twelfth streets, voted

struction bids filed with the city coun
cil last Tuesday and for postponement
of the work until spring.
The action was taken without t.is
cussion o* the rejitive merits of con
crete and bitulithic. It was the opin
ion of the property owners that ; he
present cost of construction is too
high and that it is too late in the sea
son to start a contract so larg«.
A. J. Fousek, chairman of the meet
ing; Richard Graham and George
Poole were named as a committee to
notify the council of the decision reach
ed. The meeting was held at the home
of Ernest Downing. 912 Third avenue
south, and was attended by 2"> resi
dents, representing 60 lots. The dis
trict embraces 90 lots.

CAMPING TRIP
Many Candidates Pass Tests
for Advancement at Camp
Rotary Outing.
Fifteen Boy Scouts left for Camp
Rotarv Saturday morning for the third
period of camp. They will take the
places of 34 boys who came back Sat
urday afternoon with Scoutmaster Carl
Muhlig. This will probably be the last
group to go to camp this summer.
Those who left are Fred Walker, Her
bert Anderson, Thomas Lease and An
drew* Cameron of troop five; Milliard
Mullikin, James Zadick, Allen Brown
and Jack Donovan, troop four;.lames
Schüler and Allan Finlay, troop 13:
William Faust and David Ross, troop
seven ; Wilbur Abrams, troop three,
and James Cooling, troop six. This
period of camp will expire August 13.
Members of troop nine and ten were
at Rotary from July 27 to August 3.
"I think the boys accomplished much
in their work during the ten days,"
said Scoutmaster Muhlig. 'Many tests
were passed and the boys excelled in
hiking and bridge building. The camp
is an ideal place and strict sanitary
nfteasures are enforced. \\ ater is
drawn from Ilafferty creek because
the Belt creek water is contaminated.
One of the most conspicuous ac
complishments of the scouts of troops
nine and 10 was the building of a 50
foot permanent log bridge across Belt
creek. The structure will support two
tons and stands six feet above the wa
ter. It will withstand high water and
ice.
Climb Thunder Mountain.
Thunder mountain, which is 8000
feet in elevation and about seven
miles from Rotary, was climbed for
the first time by scouts. Camp was
made at Lang's ranch, near the source
of Tillinghast creek on the night of
this hike. Those who made the trip
were Joseph Seifert, John McDermott,
Michael and Edward Furlong. Edward
Muhlig, Albert Millette, Rov Jaeger
and Scoutmaster Muhlig.
"Four Fools" mountain was as
cended by about 20 boys. This peak
rises about 6,100 feet above sea level
and 1500 feet above the camp. Its
base is a short distance from the camp.
The big stack in Great Falls and the
city of Neihart may be seen from the
top on a clear day. Several scouts
under Executive Graybiil hiked up
Hoover creek. This is a hard jour
ney because the trail crossed the
stream every 25 feet.
George Murry was awarded first
prize for the highest number of merits
gained by passing tests, personal con
duct, inspections and observation of
birds, trees and flowers near the
camp. Robert McCaig, who won the
second prize last year, also won it this
year. The awards were an aluminum
cooking kit and canteen.
Hold Business Meeting.
The Great Falls Court of Honor
held its monhly business meeting at
the camp August 6 and presented

signia. This is next to the highest
merit possible and includes passing
I the tenderfoot; second and first class
tests and the following merit badges:
' Red Cross swimming, athletics, first aid,
life saving, personal health, safety and
physical development. Ile will next
try to pass the Eagle scout 'require
ments.
Ail boys were unable to pass the
test in swimming previously did so at
the pool in Belt creek.
George Murry and John Restelli
finished their first class tests by com
pleting the required seven mile over
night hike. They tramped to Belt
park and wrote satisfactory reports of
tue journey. Robert McCaig, James
McDermott, Edward and Michael Fur
long won the merit badge in pioneer
ing, which includes bridge building and
camp kitchen work. The merit, tests
