We Appreciate Co-operation
The Chronicle feels very grateful to the
many people who have co-operated with its
force in the making this newspaper of great
to its readers. A great number of people, both
in Red Lodge and in the rural districts have
been of invaluable assistance to our reporting
staff and the Chronicle is particularly apprecia
tive for this aid, coming as it has during the ex
tra heavy work of producing our first issues.
In expressing our gratitude for this issist
ance, we want to express the hope that it will
, continue and grow in volume, because it is just
such co-operation which makes an interesting
newspaper. We want everyone to feel free to
call us on the telephone, call at the office or
send us such news that will be of! interest to
Chronicle readers. We appreciate the co-oper
ation we have already received and ask for
more.
IV
A Possible Misunderstanding
The Chronicle desires to devote a little
space in this column to the correction of a rum
or circulated in the city during recent weeks,
which if permitted to go un-noticed, might
lead to some misunderstanding on the part of
the many new readers of this newspaper and
patrons of the Chronicle Publishing Company.
In some quarters the rumor, has gained
circulation, that the publishers have installed
their plant here merely as a temporary institu
tion and that it is their intention to remain in
Red Lodge but a brief time.
Ordinarily we would pay little attention to
such a ridiculous rumor, hut here where we are
more or less unknown, we think it advisable to
deny unqualifiedly and absolutely the truth of
this report and to repeat the statement made in
this column of our first issue; that the editor of
this newspaper is here to make his permanent
home and to build up a newspaper and printing
business that will prove a credit not alone to the
to the Chronicle company, but to the city of
Red Lodge.
In this connection it might be proper to
call our readers' attention to the installation of
the Chronicle plant called for the expenditure
of a good many thousand dollars and although
our first three week's business has been very
satisfactory, still, we hardly expect business to
be sufficiently large as to warrant our retire
ment in a few months time.
In denying this report we wish to add in no
uncertain terms, that we are in Red Lodge
solely because we believe there to be an excel
lent business opportunity here in our particular
line for one who will take off his coat and de
vote his time and effort to the work of advanc
ing the interests of Red Lodge and Carbon
County.
With this flat denial of tfte truth of the re
ports mentioned and with this explanatory
statement, we trust that our readers will give
no credence to reports, which though harmless
to us, might lead to misunderstandings.
N
Others Marked for Slaughter
The word has been sent out of Washington
that the next victim slated for the Democratic
slime court will be Secretary Mellon. And af
ter him will come Hoover and the other mem
bers the cabinet.
J In fact everything is slated for investiga
tion, about, except the weather bureau.
Now Secretary Mellon is one of the most
useful men in the cabinet. He is a capitalist,
I ' jT
He
yes, and a man of great financial affairs,
is rated as a very rich man and the salary of his
office is a mere pittance to him. He gave his
valuable services to President Harding ostensi
bly fbr the good he might be able to accomplish
and he put the treasury upon a sound basis in
miraculously brief time. Through his guidance
the receipts met all obligations and more too
and he advocated a plan for reducing taxation.
He knew just how much reduction was advis
able and framed a tax reduction bill that would
meet the debt requirements and at the same
time make a general tax reduction.
But some wise, hammer headed member of
congress, who know as much about finance as
Magnus Johnson knows how to manage the
Pennsylvania railroad system, refused to ac
cept his figures and framed a bil of their own.
President Coolidge urged congress to act
upon the tax reduction measure as a business
matter and eschew partisanship. He might as
well commanded the sun to stand still. The
runt minded abstractionists, densely ignorant
individuals who should be digging posts holes
instead of occupying a seat in Congress, block
ed everything which promised so much for the
country at large.
The Walsh's, the Wheeler's and others of
their kind, were too busy spreading mud and
manure and that is about all that has been done,
so far, and the people of the United States may
wel cry out, "The good Lord deliver us from
such a vindictive and brainless group.
Lauding Yanderlip
It is surpassingly strange how some of the
Democratic newspapers are lauding Mr. Frank
Yanderlip.
After Mr. Yanderlip had attempted to cast
a slur on the name of hte noble Harding and
was called to time fbr it he volunteered to as
sist one of the manure spreading committees of
the senate in their efforts to "un-earth" some
thing. For this action certain Democratic
papers are saying that Mr. Yanderlip is doing a
fine service.
When a foreign assassin killed President
McKinley a great many newspapers of the
United States detested and abhorred the name
of his murderer so bitterly that they gave ord
ers that his name should never be printed in
their columns.
The decent newspapers of the country
should take the same action rgearding Van
derlip.

Merely Observations
A Regular Feature
particularly in the weit have proven
that the beauties of nature, can by
energetic people, be coined into dol
lars and cents
trade activities and itlia our humble
opinion, that given equijil scenic beau
ties as a foundation, any community
can attract visitors from the far coun
tries to their locality.
While "The Observer" could not be
classified and listed as an" extensive
traveler, yet we have been over a
goodly portion of th western part of
the United States; through Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and
other states where scenery is some
times sold and we can say truthfully,
that no section has been more greatly
favored by mother nature, than the
territory tributary to Red Lodge and
few possess the natural beauties nat
ure has placed here. In making this
statement; we do not except those
great tracts set aside by the Federal
government for park purposes, the
Yellowstone, Glacier, Rocky Mountain
and Yosemite.
It s true, the wonderful parks have
features of natural beauty of the un
usual variety, such as geysers and
glaciers of & certan kind not offered in
this section, but for the granduer of
its mountains, its forests, its valleys
and streams, no locality can compare (
with what Red Lodge has to offer in
;
We have heard the remark tïïât it i
this respect.
is unfortunate that Red Lodge is not
located upon one of the great high
ways, so that tourists could learn of i
the wonderful scenery in this vicinity.
These remarks lead us directly to
the thought of just what brings a-1
bout the building of the great high- j
ways and the establishment of the j
particular sections through which
they pass. Those who have traveled '
know full well, they are not establish
ed as the shortest routes between two
given points and we also know that
no individual or group of individuals,
are given the power or authority to
say just where these highways shall
be built, or what part of the country
they shall traverse. "Highways are
built, first because of the natural at
tractions of certain districts and sec
ondly; through the activity and en
terprise of the people living in those
districts." Red Lodg posesses the
first perequsite to the nth degree and
the question remains, "What has it
done and what is it going to do about
the second?"
It is a simple matter to advise and
even though simple, it is not within
[our province to tell the business men
of Red Lodge what they should 'do to
gather in the sheckles left in the wake
of the tourist. The people of Red
Lodge interested in this matter, know
better than we, what should be done
along this line. It is only our pur
pose to hammer away from time to
time so that the ideas that have been
presented for local consideration, will
pass to the stage beyond mere ideas
and become actual facts,
No estimate can be placed upon the
value to the community ofa healthy,
active tourist trade,
i eaV e their money and pass on to
other regions or return to their homes
with the story of the. beauties found,
Tourists come,
And later their friends and relatives
come to see for themselves and so an
endless chain of free publicity is es
tablished that causes the tourist trade
to increase from year to year,
However, th ework of securing the
"first time tourist" is the job which
belongs to the people of Red Lodge,
working through hteir various organ
izations and working individually for
the accomplishment of such an end.
From our observations here, still to
a certain degree limited, we have
reached the conclusion that Red Lodge
can sell its scenic beauties to the
worldd at large. We wish that we
could add that it could be done simply
and easily, but that would be a mis
statement of fact. It will require the
hardest kind of team-work by those
of enterprise and it will require the
people of Red Lodge who have had
inoculated int otheir system, a spirit
extinction of fossilized ideas and meth

High School Iterns
WHO'S WHO IN HIGH SCHOOL
The results of the State Extempor
aneous speaking and writing con
tests was returned to the principal of
the High School, with a report that
was extremely favorable to the
students who entered the contest.
On the 16th of February a sealed
envelope sent from the English de
parrntnt of the collge, was opened in
the presence of a teacher, and the
five pupils who were contestants, and
the following list of subjects was
given them to write on:
The Little Courtesies ,
My Favorite Sport,
My college plans
My Most Thrilling Experience
Flappers
The Passing of the Pioneer
The Sense of Touch
That Bucking Bronco
On Courage
Andy Gump
Manuscripts containing less than 3
hundred words could not be accepted,
and the time limit was two and one
half hours. Out of all the schools
through-out the state, who submitted
writing, thirty-four were selected.
From these thirty-four nne were
chosen. The local students who were
competitors for the contest and the
grades each received are:
Dagmar DeBourg, senior
Katherine Fleming, senior
Sirri Warila, junior.
Hilda Martin, senior .
Sydney Bachelder, senior, .
The fact that each pupil received
the high marking of A, is initself an
honor, and particularly so because no
other school with the limited amount
of five contestants could each receive
the next to the perfect score.

SENIOR PLAY BEING
REHEARSED
Miss Blanche Drake, the public
speaking teacher is now dircting the
annual Senior Play, which is to be
given either the 22nd, or the 23rd of
April, at the Beartooth theatre. Miss
Drake who is thoroughly eompetient,
and efficient has arranged, and chos
en a play of considerable text.
"The Charm School" is a three act
comedy, by Alice Duer Miller. The
play shall probably excel the play
given last year for humor, and it will
be remembered that the play entitled
"Green Stockings'' was a scream.
Eleven members of the Senior
Class have been selcted for actual
speaking parts, while there are sever
al girls used just in a group for af
fect. Students who are readily a
dapted for this sort of acting have
been appointed for the star parts, and
it is certain that they shall answer
all expectations.
FOR BETTER CITIZENS
THRU OUT THE NATION
Principal H. L. Hussong has care
fully explained the terms of enlist
ment for Military training at Fort
Douglas to the High school youths of
this city.
Boys over the age of 17 are within
the age limit for the training which
will be given from June 22th, to July
11, 1924. The war department has
made arrangements for the expense
accounts as all reimbursements are
provided for the students, including
their railroad fare, to and from the
Camp, and their lodging and board.
This training will give the boys a
form of exercises that strengthen,
and develop all muscles, as well as to
afford sufficient amusement to make
their stay interesting.
Professor Hussong has solicited the
aid of Rev. Broeck, C. R. Schmidt,
and Dr. Koehn to speak to the assemb
ly of students, and as all enlistments
are in the hands of Dr. Koehn, he has
reported ten boys having given their
names up to present date.

ods and the discarding from consider
ation of those who say it can't be
done.
We know the mountain regions of
Montana. We have traveled the reg
ular routes to the two Montana parks,
twice passing on the "Cody- Way"
within a few miles of Red Lodge. We
were the regul ir tourist, looking for
things to look at. But we didn't know
of hte scenic feast awaiting us here
if vie had passed this way. Why?
Simply because no one had ever told
us about it and because we had never
read its story in newspaper, magazine
or phamplets.
To remedy the condition related in
the proceeding paragraph is a task
the people of Red Lodge must devote
time to in the future and the money
expended and the effort expended will
come rolling back with interest in
the days to come.
MARION DAVIES TOOK
REAL LASHING WHILE MAKING
THIS PHOTO DRAMA
Dainty Star Tied to Whipping Post
and Lashed by Louis Wolheim
To Make Scene Realistic
Marion Davies says she knows how
to sympathize witth the prisoners in
Florida who have been the victims of
the brutal whippings which resulted
in the death of one. boy and stirred up
the wrath of the whole nation. The
fair motion picture star knows what
it is to feel the deadly lash whirring
above her head and descending with
cutting fury upon her habre should
ers. During the making of her
Cosmopolitian picture, "Little Old
New York," which will be the attract
ion at the Roman theatre in Red
Lodge Sunday and Monday, April 6th
and 7th, with matinee on Sunday at
two o'clock, Miss Davies was called
upon to take a beating administered
by Louis Wolheim of "Hairy Ape"
fame. Masquerading as a boy, little
"Pat" gets into serious trouble and is
almost the victim o1 mob violence.
She is tied to the whipping post in
the public square as it was a hundred
years ago and struck several tmes
with the lash.
Miss Davies would not allow a
double to be used for these scenes and
the penalty was several blistering red
marks upon the white shoulders which
have been portrayed on canvas by
some of the most famous artists in
the world. Of course, Wolheim tried
to temper realism with mercy, but it
was hard to put the required vim in
to the scene and still make the lash
pass over the star's shoulders instead
of falling upon them.
"It certainly is anything but pleas
ant feeling to hear the lash whistling
through the air and know that in an
other second it will cut into your
flesh," says Miss Davies. 'Til admit
I was terrified for a moment and I
just couldn't help giving a little
scream the first time it hit me. After
that it was easier because I just set
my teeth and determined to bear it."
"Little Old New York" was adapted
to the screen by Luther Reed from
the stage play by Rida Johnson
Young. Sidney Olcott directed and
Joseph Urban designed the settngs.

LAWYERS PAY TRIBUTE
TO JUDGE A. C. SPENCER
(Continued From Pag* 1)
that we are losing an able and an up
right jurist who has written ably end
in large letters across the page of the
Thirteenth judicial district and while
we are loath to lose you, we wish you
unbounded success and eminence and
honor in your new field."
In replying to Senator Myers, Judge
Spencer said that he would be un
grateful indeed if he failed to express
his appreciation of the treatment he
had received at the bands of the law
yers in Carbon, Big Horn and Yellow
stone counties.
"I haven't the language at my com
mand to say to you how I appreciate
this meeting here this evening," said
he. "It means something to me, boys,
to move out of Montana. I'm home
sick. I have lived in Montana all my
life, and I have made many, many
frends here.
"I don't expect to find n Los Ange
les the kind of friends that I have
here. But I have enough confidence
in myself to belive that I can hit the
ball down htere and make good, I
have a wonderful opportunity, and it
is that that is taking me away. I
hope that you will miss me when I
am gone."
Judge Spencer then paid a tribute
to Colonel Goddard, expressing his
disappointment that he had not been
appointed to the bench to fill the va
cancy caused by his resignation and
referring to the colonel as a good
lawyer and a friend of the young at
torney.
It was quite evident from the tenor
of the addresses of Mr. McCormick,
Judge Taylor, Mrs. Sloan and the
others who spoke, that they did not
intend to try to make Judge Spencer
any sadder than he was over leaving
Montana, and this feature was accen
tuated when Bob Cook, secretary of
the bar association, read several tele
grams relative to the occasion which
had the earmarks of having been pre
pared with considerable pains. One
purported to be from Govrennor Rich
ardson of California tendering Judge
Spencer the keys of the city, or words
to that effect and another from Chief
Justice Taft of the United States su
preme court.
The resolution adopted by the asso
ciation, follows:
"Whereas, the Hon. A. C. Spencer,
for nine years one of the judges of
this district, and for a portion of the
time a supreme- court commissioner,
has resigned his office and is about to
resume the practice of law in the city
of Los Angeles; and the members of
the Yellowstone County Bar associat
ion being desirious of expressing their
appreciation of his public service,
"Therefore, be it resolved, that, rec
ognizing the sincerity of purpose and
the intelligent, honest, energetic and
fearlsse fulfillment of judicial duties
which Judge Spencer has always
manifested, we tender him this expres
sion of our appreciation. We esteem
hm because his decisions have been
based upon his judgment of the law
as appled to the facts and without
personal consideration of any charact
er. We are grateful for his uniform
courtesy and constant recognition of
the rights of lawyers.
"As he enters his new field of labor,
we give him assurance of our hope
for success. We unhesitatingly com
mend him to the confidence of the
lawyers of Los Angeles, and we attest
his loyalty and ability to those seek
ing his professional services.
"Be it further resolved, that the
committee secure an order of our
court directing that these resolutions
be spread upon the court records, and
that a copy be furnished the local
press for publication."

tended the dinner, were: Guy C. Der

ACROSS MANY MILES
For one minute and a half Saturday
evening, Mrs. Walter Hay enjoyed a
telephone
conversation with her
