romantic old mining camp of Nelhart.
These grounds are being uniquely
secured. A mine was opened in this
neighborhood with paying silver ore,
and mining claims are being patented
comprising 42% acres. It Is on the

City Manager of Great Fall«
N THE management of the organ
ization for the upkeep of city pro
perties, It Is not sufficient any
longer simply to depend upon effi
cient labor, and a careful dispensa
tion of the new materials. In addi
tion to these Items salvage must be
kept In mind.
The development of a cinder pro
cessed road has been a study In sal
vage as much as anything else. Cin
ders or ashes we have, and they must
be disposed of, whether It be to any
one's advantage or not.
otherwise refuse can be converted in
to something of value, why not do It?
The construction of processed roads
does solve this problem. There ap
pears no good reason why these cin
ders cannot be taken directly from
the basements to streets with all ex
tra handling eliminated.
With the soli formation that we
have, an amalgam is easily made with
and addition of ashes that has prov
en a desirable road material, and has
caused the development of a road
that can be built to the advantage
of a large number of the towns and
cities of Montana.

Glacier park institute was held up
on the grounds recently purchased
and named Glacier Park Institute
camp. A tract of 40 acres, heavily
timbered with more than 600 feet of
frontage on beautiful Lake McDon
ald, will be the future meeting place
for leaguers and members of other
church organizations In northern
Montana. This la a new camp, and
Improvements are pow Just under
way. A fund Is already In hand for
use In erection of a tabernacle and
the making of the other Improve
ments that will be necessary for the
accommodation of the Institute and
other gatherings that will yearly be
held here. The registration at Gla
cier park was 146, representing 12
league chapters and two other com
munities.
The Faculty
The faculty this year at the three
Institutes was one of the best that has
been offered. Members of the faculty
were Dr. J. D. McCormick of Kimball
School of Theology: Miss Winnlfred
L. Chappell of the New York office
of Federation for Social Service;
Miss Pearl Tibbetts of the National
Training School of Kansas City, Mo.;
state Junior league superintendent,
the Rev. Belle C. Harmon; Allan C.
Lemon, dean of Intermountain Un
ion College; Dr. H. L. Canrlght, med
ical missionary from China; Ford L,
Bailor, of the Intermountain Union
College; District Superintendents R.
C. Edglngton, Jesse Bunch, H. K.
Holtztnger, and Charles O. Cole.
Sunday school methods were present
ed by the Rev. C. I. Andrews and the
Rev. Philo Haynes of Montana; and
the Rev. Clyde L. Hay of Chicago.
Dr. C. L. Clifford served for the fifth
year as dean of the Institutes In Mon
tana. Mrs. Margaret F. Clifford was
to have served,as a member of the
faculty at all Institutes but was pre
vented by an accident a few days be
fore the opening date. The full

out throughout in all details.
mixed with the material of the road
by the use of a scarifier. Not only
Is the material loosened and mixed
but It Is loosened to an even depth
over the entire surface of the road
way. The high and low spots on the
original surface are broken up so
that When the blade grader Is
brought on to complete the mixing
process It will produce a bed of uni
form depth of evenly mixed road ma
terials. The reason for desiring a
like material throughout the surface
Is simply this; it the material Is
alike It will all wear alike. The
blade Is used to shape the crown,
which Is Its normal purpose, In other
construction.
The road materia! is kept damp
to facilitate compression under traf
fic. It Is In a soft condition when
the grader leaves It and If no fur
ther attention were given It would be
come rough under traffic at once.
To avoid this the grader stops until
traffic has done the needed tamping.
In this manner a hard road in smooth
condition Is produced.
We are often asked why we do not
use a roller for putting the road In
shape. In the first place we haven't
any roller. In the second place, we
wouldn't use It for that purpose If
we did have one. No roller is heavy
enough to give the needed compres
sion for this work—wheel loads do
provide It. By keeping a llghtdrag
going a short time after the high
way has been shaped, a hard, smooth
surface Is the result.
When the road Is in this condition
a residue oil from a local refinery Is
applied at the rate of about three

gallons per square. This rate of ap
plication varies some with the condi
tion of the surface to be treated. The
least oil Is used on the surface carry
ing the least loose material.
The purpose of the oil Is to keep
the dust down and produce a sur
face better suited to turning water.
The roads In the City of Great
Falls that have been built as here
outlined have proven successful In a
measure beyond expectation.
Low Cost Combination.
The cost of preparing the roads for
oil sprinkling depends entirely upon
conditions, such as availability of
cinders, etc. In many cases oiled
roads prove cheaper than even the
ordinary dirt road on account of the
high upkeep cost of the latter as
compared with /the extremely low
raaintenanace of the former. The
average dirt road Is in poor condition
after every rain and must be dragged.
On the other hand the cost of maln-|tj,
talning an oil road Is very light. Oil
sheds off water, preventing mud, and
acts as a binder preventing dust.
In Great Falls cost of oiling (oil
costing 4 cents per gallon at the lo
cal refinery) Is shown at less than
two and one-tenth cents per square
yard, which Includes cost of oil and
sprinkling. The average cost Is
about 6 cents to 8 cents per square
yard tor cindering and preparing and
oiling, where cinders are hauled a
fairly long distance.
Oiling on Sixth street southwest
in Great Falls, (where we had a
short haul on cinders of about one
thousand to fifteen hundred feet)
cost from 9 cents to 10 cents per run
ning foot (34-foot street and one
foot long) or about three cents per
square yard, preparing and oiling.
On the other hand, paving, not In
cluding gutter and storm sewers,
costs about »2.75 to »3.00 per square
yard.
In the past, during the summer,
Park Drive in Great Falls was
sprinkled about twice a day, and ev
en .then complaints were made about
the dust, and after heavy rains the
drive was in bad condition. Now that
Park Drive Is oiled, there is no dust
whatever and the road is In the best
of condition. This condition prevails
in spite of the near-torrential rains
this spring and early summer. Other
oiled streets in Great Falls have
stood up correspondingly well.
The cost of the cinder-oiling com
bination can be lowered still more by
saving cinders during the winter
months and spreading them on the
street In front of the home, then In
the spring the street ca nbe scarified,
packed and oiled, with a saving on
hauling of cinders from a distance.
One of the economical factors that
has Increased the interest in the oil
ing of the streets and roads Is that the
whole operation of clnder-gumbo-oll
can be done on 4 or 6 blocks for the
Interest on the cost of one block of
paving, capitalized at six per cent.

An Indication of early winter Is
seen in the flight of wild ducks

fect that large flocks of duck« have
been heard nightly flying In circles
over the cities, confused by the
lights. Although the ducks have
started their annual pilgrimage to
a warmer clime, curlews, consid

are still In the country. Usually
they are the first to depart In the
autumn. Report» also state that
other bird« are hunching up and
evidently preparing far their south

flight Is In evidence. It Is believed
that, the recent and unnHual cool

Nature of Voluntary Expressions of
Patriotism by State's Citizens.
Observance of National Defense
Day in Montana, Sept ember 12,
next, will consist of programs look
ing to expressions of loyalty and
patriotism without Interference
with business or normal duties of
the citizens, Dr. M. A. Brannon,
chancellor of the University of
Montana, and chairman of the state
National Defense Day committee
announced recently.
Although efforts will be made to
enroll as large a number of cltlxen*
as possible,, Chancellor Brannon
said,, the Montana demonstration
will be more In the nature of an Am
ericanization educational movement
than an actual mobilization. County
committees of from three to five mem
bers are being named, be said, to op
erate In conjunction with the Na
tional Guard Organized Reserves
and patriotic organizations. Enroll
ment will be confined to men between
the ages of 18 and 45, but all resi
dents of the various communities
will be asked to take part In parade*
or other demonstrations arranged by
the county committees.
In stressing the war department'*
request for national defense day,
Chancellor Brannon said that possi
bly many Montanans did not under
stand that the plan merely called for
a voluntary national demonstration
and enrollment. Inquiries had been
made, he said, Indicating many be
lieved a regular army mobilization
was planned.

that railroad. The Montana field
Is the largest bituminous area known
In thfe world, Mr. Daly said, and In a
year's time will supply from two to
three million tons of coal.
Development of this area has been
under process for some time and In
another month coal will begin to

of 50,000 tons a month. Mining will

range. Power la to be supplied by
the Montana Power company. The
coal Is to be used exclusively for the
railroad and will cut fuel bills of the
company In one-half.
Coal from this area is of the su

Mr. Couch reported the kilting of

object In the lake. They thought It
was a deer. A view through a tele

swimming about. There was a mad
rush for a boat—and the chase start

ed.
The bear, which Is estimated to
weigh about 300 pounds, was pretty
well tired out and started for shore.
The nautical huntsmen beaded him
off and started him out into the lake
again. Then another mud rush was
made for the shore, a rifle was se
cured and the chase resumed.
Two shots each pierced the bear's
head. A rope was tied to one of
the animal's legs and he was towed
to shore,
Mr, Couch states that regardless of

wise revert to the government and
be lost to the slate, the Montana
Good Roads and Automobile As
sociation was formed in Helena
recently.
The perfecting of this organization
was accomplished at a meeting of the
Montana executive good roads com
mittee, which was formed about two
years ago. The ussoclatloa elected
us Us president Sid Coffee of Mis
soula, ami us its secretary-treasurer,
Charles H. Roberts, also of Missoula.
An executive commltlo of seven,
each member to represent a certain
district of the state, was authorized
and will be appointed at a subsequent
date by President Coffee. This com
mittee will then work out the details
of the organization along the line*
approved at the meeting In the adop
tion of the following Ideas:
The Purpose of Association
"That a plan of Information bo ar
ranged looking to a progressive road
program to include within Its pur
poses the establishing of u state fund
through legislation, using the auto
mobile license tax and the gasoline
tux at least sufficient In size to match
up all the federal aid fund available.
"That the officials and the commit
tee be requested to take under con
sideration the formation of a perma
nent state-wide organization which
shall consistently urge the construc
tion and maintenance of the state
system of highways as soon as the
enabling funds can be secured for
this purpose and the time shall seem
ripe to do so."
The meting adopted a suggested
slogan us: "Give us u dollar and we'll
save you ten," and endorsed the ad
ministration of the state highway
commission.
Sid J. Coffee informed the meet
ing that his Idea was the formation of
a state automobile association, which
would devote the major part of it*
attention to the good roads movement
but that In order for such a move
ment to succeed It would require
from »20,000 to »26,000 a year and
the services of an efficient secretary,
which ho did not believe feasible at
this time,
Immediate Action Necessary.
Congressman Scott Leavitt told of
the disposition of the congressional
committee on public roads and of the
government in general to Ignore
states which did not do their share
In the construction of highways un
der federal aid, and he condemned
the plan of devoting motor licensee
and gasoline tax funds to purpose*
other than in the building und up
keeping of roads.
0. 8. Warden of Great Palis, ex
plained that unless state funds were
made available allotment* of federal
aid fund* to Montana of |l,031,t00
for 1926, would revert to the govern
ment on July 1, 1926 and tor the
year 1926. »1,346,000 would like
wise revert and be lost to Montana.
