At | these Institutes young men and wo men pledged themselves to Christ ian service as a life work, on the closing mornings. Yellowstone Park Institute opened July 7 at Luccock park, near Living ston. Beautiful grounds have been j purchased In a deep gorge with open plaza, bordered with varieties of pine trees, watered with trout streams and guarded by three mountain \ saks snow-capped and one towering to an elevation of more than 11,000 feet. Besides 26 acres which have been pur chased, 76 acres have been leased from the government. A tabernacle has been built, and a large log store and commissary has been erected. In this Institute the enrollment was 164, representing 21 chapters and 10 oth er communities. At Nelhart. King's Hill Institute was the next In the series. This was held in a beautiful gorge four miles out of the 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 main Park-to-Park highway, and Is beautifully watered by a gushing mountain stream. Lofty mountain ranges with castle-llke towers and picturesque promontories, mark the sky-line on three sides.

L .MORRIS 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. bumUhVew ma teriaÏÏ buTno ma chine./ other than that already In common use for road construction and malntenanace Is needed. The machinery and the sequence of the work Is brought out plainly In pictures which accompany this artl I If what is cle. Picture No. 2 shows the cinders to a width and depth desired.

No. 4 shows how the cinders are roads have acres have been completed; been opened up and several have been cleared for camp sites and recreation purposes. There were 175 registrations here representing 12 league chapters and two other com munities. At Glacier Park. 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 standardized programs were carried 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 It Doesn't Pay 44 to be A 99 Pioneer ! HO hasn't heard this remark at some time? And what a fallacy it Is! w Consider your own coun try. Who will deny that Us present greatness Is due to the native genius for blazing new trails?

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. -o WILD DUCKS GO HOUTH; AN EARLY WINTER PREDICTED An Indication of early winter Is seen in the flight of wild ducks southward. Reporta from south ern Montan pointa are to the ef 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 ered excellent weather prophet«, 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 ward flight, but so far no general flight Is In evidence. It Is believed that, the recent and unnHual cool spell ha« tiad a tendency to Influ ence ducks. -o I« Your Name Smith?

MONTANA PLANSfc™' ON OBSERVANCE OF DEFENSE DAY CHANCELLOR BRANNON HEAD OF PREPARATIONS COMM ITTKE TELLS OF PROGRAM. Demonstration will bo In Hands of County Committees and will lx» In 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. MONTANA COAL FIELDS LARGEST IN WORLD e surface, Production from a coal field, cap able of supplying the Northern Pac ific railway company at its present program for 26 years, will begin September 1 at Colstrip, 40 miles south of Forsyth, according to Gen eral Fuel Supervisor M. A, Daly of 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 come from this territory at the rate of 50,000 tons a month. Mining will not he difficult as the vein lies only a distance of from 36 to 76 feet under Electric shovels are now being erected and will haul out the "black diamonds" ten tons to a scoop. These will be the largest shovels west of the Minnesota iron 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 perior grade, Mr. Daly states, and laboratory tests have proved that the Montana fuel disintegrates with less than 9 per cent of the finest sort of ash. This eliminates the grate shak ing and cleaning of ash pans now be ing done with the locomotives.

Mr. Couch reported the kilting of the bear, which followed an energetic chase In a row boat—the motor pow -1 er for which was furnished by the preacher himself. The men, stand ing In front of their camping place near the Heisley cotuge at Camp Idle wild, at the lake, noticed a moving object In the lake. They thought It was a deer. A view through a tele scope revealed that It was a bear swimming about. There was a mad rush for a boat—and the chase start j 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 Ills profession, It was necessary to low the animal behind a motor boat and put him on exhibition before the other campers would believe the tale they had told.

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.

The relic Is an old cap and ball pistol, covered with rust of many years, and was found by Mr. Donnelley on top of the Selway di vide, near the Montana-Idabo state Una. The gun which has three charged chambers, was found among the bones of the man and bear, and the finder believes that the gun tells tbe story of a mighty struggle for life in which both the contestants lost. The bones were bleached white, which leads to the belief that the fight took place many years ago, and this belief Is strengthened by the apparent age of tbe gun, which is of a type manu factured prior to the Civil war. Mr. Paisley has removed part of the rust from the barrel of the wea pon and with the aid of a glass the following words are discernable: "36 calibre—pr—Colonel." that further polishing will reveal the name of the owner of the gun. which might give a clue to tbe identity of the skeleton. The bones of the man and the beast were found about three miles from the spot where, two years ago, the skeleton of a man, with both arms Imprisoned In a steel bear trap, was discovered by men patrolling the fire lines. The Identity of this unfortun ate man remains a mystery, as prob ably will that of the skeleton whose bony hand clasped the weapon, now but the reilc of a lost fight. He hopes
