BRAVO, CHAVEZ!

NJ OTHING that the daring aviators
~ have previously done has so
~ thrilled the Imagination of the
world as the feat Of George Chavez, the
Peruvian airman, who performed the
seemingly impossible feat of driving
his monoplane over the Alps on Friday.
For centuries the great mountains be-
tween Switzerland and Italy have been
a synonym for the unconquerable. In
tradition at least they stood barrier
to human endeavor until Napoleon's
daring and iron viii triumphed over
them.
Now an aviator as fearless as the
French marshal surmounts them in the
smallest fraction of the time consumed
by the French army, but at not less
peril, for Chavez crossed chasms with
out landing place with an abandon
that might be expected of one travers-
ing a field of soft earth. 1t is this

PREFERS THE STRAW HAT

Editor Herald: Am delighted at the
stand John Smith takes concerning the
straw hat proposition on October Is
and thereafter. / don't know how the
"red corpuscles" are made up in yours
truly, but my mind was made up long
ago that when the rest of the town
folks would be wearing their winter
or heavy hats would be wearing that
hat of all hats for comfort-the fiber
kind, sometimes called "Calltornia
Panama" consider it the coolest
headgear for man ever made, yet COM
naraSively few men wear the 'lid."
l am no prophet, neither am the
son of a prophet, hence l will not un-
dertake to say when more men VIII
wear cooler headgear while the sun
shines warmly" in California.

FEMININE SARCASM

Editor Herald: Several Letter Box

keep away from the front end OF the
car, reserved for smokers Do women
have much choice in the selection OF
a seat or standing place in a street
car? One man says, after the men are

for the women they should not seek to
deprive them of the pleasure of smok-

The line from Glendive to Helena
will accomplish two important things
from the standpoint OF the railroad
and other important things from the
standpoint of resident of Helena.
1t will shorten the distance from st.
Paul to the coast by :. miles in this
state alone, and taken in conjunction
with the I.OlO pass route. which line
will be built this coming summer.
will put the Twin cities 20 miles
nearer Portland. In addition it will
open up Il large expense of territory
now far removed from any railroad.
In addition it Will furnish the North
ern Pacific a much easier grade than
the one now traversed.
The Great Northern cutoff. in con-
nectiOn with the joint line from
Judith Gap. will shorten the Great
Northern line to the coast by nearly
100 miles and will in addition be used
as the connecting link between the
present Great Northern system and

The Importance to Helena Of the
construction of these new railroad
lines, which will make this city the
railroad pivot Of the northwest, can
not be Overestimated. In the first
place it will make Helena the divi-
sion point on two and possibly three
railroads, and in the second place it
will make all OF eastern Montana di-
rectly tributary to the capital city,
and will put the great grain fields of
the Smith river country. the Judith
Basin and other sections ut eastern
Montana right ut llelena's doors. and
make this city the distributing and

the government does not expect the
impossible of the hOmesteader and
has provided for just such emergen-

which permits of granting of Il leave

rules under which leave of absence
may be obtained:
/. Applications for leave of all

and receivers to grant leaves of alb

approval of the commissioner Of the
general land office, whenever it shall
be made to appear that the settler

casually. to secure support for HIM
self, herself or those dependent on
him or her, upon the lands settled up
on.
3. In each case full particulars
should be given in the application.
which should state the failure or des-
truction Of crops, if the crops have
failed or been destroyed. to what eN-
tent and the cause thereof.
In case of sickness, what disease or
injury and to what extent claimant is
prevented thereby from continuing
on the land, and certified from the
physician in attendance setting forth
the facts should also be furnished.
In the case of "Other unavoidable
