An Explanation

Philosophers intent upon determin-
ing the causes of our failure to con-
tribute more Importantly to all the
arts have suggested that our creative
genius has been diverted into CON-
mercial and industrial channels; that
Bell and Edison have stolen and i'm
prisoned the Promethean fire, while
the affairs of the arts have been left
cold. Instead of sending mankind
whirling over hill and dale at price
within the reach of all, Henry Ford
might have been our enlaureled
Thackeray if only he had been born
beneath dancing star instead of I'M
der the fiery wheels of EZekiel's Wis.

HIS LETTER TO CLAUD KITCHEN

WASHINGTON, Oct. l7.-Congress-
man Tom Stout has written letter
to Representative Claud Kitchen OF
North Carolina, majority leader of the
house in the next congress. in which
he says that while he is willing to go
further in the way of naval expansion
than he was year ago, he does not
propose to be stampeded into voting
for a program which contains the es-
sential elements of that militariSm
which has proven to be the curse of
other great nations"
Mr.. Stout's letter to the North Caro-.
lima leader was in response to a let
ter from Mr.. Kitchen, in which the lat
ter said his views had been misrepre-
sented by the press.
After declaring that the jingoes and
the profit seekers have raised such a
storm by their preparedness propa.
ganda, actuated in large part by sci
fish motives. that his suspicious are
aroused, the Montana congressman
continued:
81 can conceive of reasonable ne.
cessity for adding materially to our
efficiency, but shall absolutely refuse
to consider any material increase OF
our army appropriation. Something
should be done toward enlarging our
facilities for the training of officers
but to attempt to provide the means
for the upbuilding OF standing army
Of even half million men appears tC
me wholly unwarranted."
Mr. Stout stated that he believed in
colleges for the creation of civilian
army reserve, and that this. together
with a navy that would give the Uni
ted States an 'even break with any
nation that might attack would, in his
opinion, constitute adequate national
defense.

RAINBOW LODI:
MOST ANCIENT

BUTTE, Oct. 2e.-Prot. John q.
Irving, professor OF mining and seol-
ogy at the Sheffield school of Yale
and a geOlogist of national reputation,
testifying as an expert witness in the
federal court today, declared that the
Rainbow lode is the most ancient and
therefore the predominant one of the
three veins involved in the suit of
the ClarkMontana Realty company
and Elm-Oru Mining company
against the Butte and Superior
Age OF the Rainbow lode is one Of
the chief issues in the suit, the Clark
interests contending that it and it's
strands form the oldest and predomi
nant vein and that it apeXes in Elm
Crlu ground, cOursing beyond TIL"
side line of the Elm-Orlu into the
Black Rock and Jersey Blue claims
of the Butte and Superior at depth
of more than 900 feet, where it has
been mined by the defendant COM
pany.

THE ECECTRlFlCATJON,

+. b. Walker, assistant engineer of
the electrification department of the
Milwaukee and formerly assistant en-
sineer in charge of bridges and build
ings of the Great Falls-Lewistown line,
has written very interesting article
on electric sub-station, which appears
in the October number OF the Milwau-
kee Employees Magazine
The construction and equipment of
each sub station represents an eXpen-
diture which runs into the hundred
thousands, and when it is considered
that there are Ia sub stations alone ON
the Milwaukee roadway between Har-
lowton and Avery which is to be cleo
trified, the sum of money envolved is
enormous. The buildings, according
to Mr.. Walker. are Of modern, per
manent construction with concrete
foundations, brick super-structure and
concrete roofs on steel purlins and
trusseS. Along with each sub-station
are houses built bungalow style, where
the operators will live, these houses
being handsomely finished and equip
ped with all modern conveniences.
"All about the houses and sub-sta-
tion buildings" he writes, the grounds
are being planted to grass, through
which run neat gravel walks. The
idea being carried out is to make
beauty spots of the sub-station lay
outs with living conditions for the op-
orators To be as good as would be
found in the city"
The sub-stations are located at Teo
Dot, Summit, Josephine, Eustis, Pied
mont, Janney, Morel, Gold Creek. Ra-
VIENNA, Primrose, Tarkio, East Portal
and Avery, being an average distance
of :'3 miles apart.
