EASTERN MONTANA TO BACK
RED LODGE-COOKE CITY ROAD
Reconnaissance Survey Will be Completed Soon
Reported That Grade Will Not Exceed Five
Percent.
The government officials making the recon
naissance survey, together with the local engin
eers, of the Red Lodge to Cooke City road are
progressing nicely. The official surveying party
composed of Fred Theime, district forest
engineer, B. W. Kitt, of the bureau of public roads,
IS
R. T. Ferguson, supervisor of the
Beartooth National Forest, together
with W. P. Burke, local engineer and
W. E. Pinkney The engnieers were
accompanied by Harry Smith, M. E.
Martin and son Melvin, who are look
ing after the pack outfit and doing the !
cooking.
The party left Richel Lodge on June]
20th and established their first camp
near Tin Can Camp up Rock Creek

of the Beartooth Boosters Club, made
a trip up the canyon Tuesday and vis- j
ited the surveyors and they reported at
that time that they were going to
make their grade five percent. Later
on in the week W. E Pinkney came in
and reported that they had reached the
top of the plateau on a five percent
grade. On Sunday F. 1. Johnson came
in from Camp Sawtooth and stated
that the surveying party was camped
on Little Rocky and they expected to
finish their reconnaissance by July 4th
or 6th and would go out by way of
Cooke City; the horses and pack out
fit returning over the proposed route.
A committee from Red Lodge will
meet the surveyors at Cooke City on
July 4th before they leave for the
western part of the state.
All of eastern Montana seems to be
interested in this proposed road ac
cording to a letter received Tuesday
from J. A. Shoemaker, secretary and
manager of the Billings Commercial
Club. The Billings Commercial Club
i» tremendously interested in the pro
posed road and have appointed a road
CQMtniiitee composed of R. G.'Wiggen
hom, attorney and a former resident
of Red Lodge, F. P. Connelly, formerly
president of the Billings Commer
cial Club and W. W. Gail, former
president of the Rotary Club. Accord
ing to the letter Billings is ready to
go the limit and to help organize ail
eastern Montana to get behind the Red
Lodge to Cooke City road. They sug
gest a large general committee of
eastern Montana to be known as the
"Red Lodge to Cooke City Road
League.
Montana project.
The committee in Billings has
written a strong letter to Mr. Fred
Morrill, district forester in Missoula,
advising him that all of eastern Mon
atna will be behnid this project.
At a meeting of the Commercial
Club some time ago a large delegation
of Red Lodge citizens represented the
Beartooth Boosters' Club O. H. P,
Shelley, secretary of the club, out
lining to the Billings people what had
been accomplished and what the Bil
lings and eastern Montana people
could do to assist this project. The
very fact that the road to Coon«, City
will be on a grade not exceeding five
percent makes the road feasible and
with unity of puprose and with the
great citizenship of eastern Montana
nothing can stop this road according
to the Beartooth Boosters.

Next was the report of state of
ficers; first that of President T. J.
Troy, which was a very exhaustive re
port • dealing with the state of the
order in general. This report was
read and referred to the committee on
state of the order for segregation to
be referred to the different commit- 1
Then W. F. Zietz, state secre
tary, gave a very complete report of
tees.
the state aerie and conditions of local
aeries throughout the state showing
that the order had made substantial
gains of more than a thousand in the
last year. His report was also re
ferred to the committee on state of
the order for segregation to be re
ferred to the different committees.
Then the treasurer, A. E. Caufteld,
reported on the financial conditions of
the order showing a substantial bal
ance in the treasury to the amount of
$2589. This report was referred to
the committee on finance. The next
report called was that of the delegate
to the Grand Aerie session 1924, Mr.
William Shea, junior past president.
He not being present his report was
read by F. I. Shepherd of Great Falls.
Mr. Shea went into details of the na
tional convention held last year and
gave a very interesting report of all
the doings.
The balance of the afternoon ses
sion was devoted to reading telegrams
and letters from Grand Aerie_ officers.
Recess was taken until eight o'clock
Wednesday evening at which time the
report of the committee on state of
order was heard. Another recess was
taken until nine o'clock this morning
at which time the exemplification' of
the ritual and the drill teams will
compete. This will require the great
est part of this morning and after the
morning session another recess will be
taken until Friday morning. At one
thirty this afternoon the delegation
will proceed to Richel Lodge and Camp
Senia where a fish dinner will be
given in their honor.
Tomorrow morning the grand dec
orated automobile parade will take
place at nine o'cl ck and the balance
of tomorrow will be devoted to hearing
the various committee reports and ac
tion thereon. The election of officers
will also lake plan • tomorrow and it
is thought the convention will adjourn
sometime tomorrow afternoon. Day
and night fireworks will furnish unique
entertainment on the last day.
Delegates began to arrive on Mon
day and were met at the train by the
local committee, Among those who
first arrived was President T. J. Troy,
W. F. Zietz, Don King, vice president,
Oscar Helding, state conductor, and
other delegates from Helena, Butte,
Missoula, Great Falls and Billings,
Among other early arrivals from
Great Falls was Howard G. Bennett,
past state president and A. E. Cau
field, treasurer of the state aerie.
It is reported that there will be
two condidates for next year's conven
tion; that of Missoula and Billings.
At the time of going to press it was
not learned which one of these cities
would receive the honor of entertain
ing the next State Aerie.

damage is estimated at half a million
dollars in the towns of White Sluphur
and Three Forks, the former place
suffering the loss of the county court
house, while at Manhattan two school
buildings fell to earth. The inhabi
tants of the towns suffering these
shocks were so frightened that many
of them left their homes and camped
in the open. Butte and Anaconda felt
the tremors intermittently through the
night. Helena and Missoula escaped
with lighter shocks, tho the nervous
convulsions were felt again on Sunday.
Anaconda recorded a tremor at 3:46
Sunday afternoon, the seventh in
twenty hours. There was no serious
damages caused there, but at the Mon
tana state hospital for the insane,
eight miles from Anaconda the wall
of one of the buildings fell in, giving
fright to the inmates.
In the section surrounding Three
Forks, the quake made deep cracks
in the earth and the bed of the Jeffer-j
son river was lowered at least two i
feet at the point a mile above where it!
joins the Gallatan and Madison rivers '
Landslides on the Milwaukee railway )
near Lombard forced this line to use
the Northern Pacific tracks. However,
the various Milwaukee schedules were
restored about twenty-four hours
later.
The Northern Pacific tracks were
damaged by a landslide two miles west
of Lombard, extending a distance of
1,200 feet. The passengers of train
No. 235 Sunday night were trans
ferred at Logan to another train en
route to Butte, and Monday was able
to resume their scheules.
Four States Feel Shocks.
Montana was not the only state in
the shake-up as the Shocks were felt in
Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming.
Sheridan, Casper and Thermopolis
were the Wyoming towns most severe
ly shaken, tho the damage was not as
great as in the Montana towns. The,
wonders of Yellowstone National Park
remained untouched, the rangers re
porting to Superintendent Albright
that there were no damages to the
formations of the geysers thus far.
One road was blocked by a rock slide
near Mammoth. Thousands of vis
itors in the park did not know of the
1 vibrations, tho they were felt by some
' in the dining room at Mammoth,
j Dr. Clapp Explains Phenomena
President C. P. Clapp of the Uni
|
| versity of Montana made the follow
phenomena:
■
The effect of a sudden slip along a
fault," said Dr. Clapp, "is to send out
vibration in all directions and these vi
bradons are the earthquake as it is
felt at a distance from the place of
ongin.
"Earthquakes, in other words, are
vibrations of the crust that are set up
by a slip, as a jelly is set in motion by
the breaking off or slipping of a small
piece.
"The waves travel at a speed de
pending on the elasticity and density
of the medium through which they
move.
"One set of earthquake waves
travels in a straight or nearly
straight line through the earth at a
speed of six to eight miles per second,
and a second set of waves travels
around or near the surface of the earth
at a rate of two or four miles per
second."
"There is little to fear from such an
earthquake," he added, "and it is prob
able that this slip has relieved the
it
be
stress to such an extent that another
earthquake will not occur for several
years."
,
■•Fault movements, he declared, are j
rarely or,never of a slow, continuous
nature, but are sudden and intermit
tent, taking place after a period of
quiet, during which the earth's strains >
accumulate to such an extent that the
:
resistance to movement is overcome
and a sudden slip takes place.
..The intensity of an earthquake de
pends upon the amount of the slip, the
size of the area affected and the depth.
"Althought earthquakes occur most
frequently and violently in two prin-1
cipal zones, one following the shores
of the Pacific ocean and the other sur
rounding the earth not far from the
equator, all portions of the World are
affected by tremors. During historical
times no major earthquakes have oc
curved in the Rocky mountain region,
although minor ones have been fairly
frequent. The earthquake felt Satur
day night in Montana is perhaps the!
most severe ever recorded here.
"In spite of our records in the mat
ter of earthquakes there are plenty of
indications of, prehistoric disturbances
in the mountain states. Nearly all of
our mountain ranges are the results
of faults and the movements along
some faults have changed recent
geography in a minor way. Dr. Roy
Wilson found an old mine tunnel in
the Flathead range evidence of a
recent displacement along one of the
major faults which outlined the

The witnesses for the prosecution
included Mr. Oakley and son. Chief

Elmer B. King.
The cutting affair took place at the

not less than two years and not more
than four years.
Four other cases came up on Thurs
day; the first one being the town of
