From 1907 to 1914 the arguments
between manufacturers, dealers and
owners as to the merits and dement's
Of the four and the six cylinder mot
ors were constant and furious. Then
after several years of experiment the
engineers that had espoused the two
cycle engine brought out the eight
cylinder engine and proved to their
own satisfaction that the four
cylinder principle was right.
In the summer of 1915 several
manufacturers announced the twelve
cylinder or twin six motors that they
claimed would revolutionize the mot
or car industry. Their claims were
that the explosion over laped, thus
reducing the shock to the crank shaft
and all reciprocating parts. They
claimed that this new creation in a
gas engine was the nearest to constant
power that had been attained in COM
bustion engines and compared favor
ably with steam power. Then we
heard Of the 16-cylinder-that is there
was a rumor of a 1900 order placed
with the continental Motor company.
Many believe that the one-cylinder is
the limit of the multipule cylinder
fanatic.

States patterns her motor cars as well

First, to get the products of the
farms to market. Bad roads mean a
cost Of from fifty cents per ton-mile,
up; good roads mean a cost of s to
10 cents per ton-mile. Practically
everything used by man has to be
hauled over some road some time in
its history-so good roads decrease
the cost of living. The merchants
find good roads a great inducement
to their out-of-town customers, both
In getting the customers to come to
town to buy, and in getting the goods
to the customers when bought.
The automobilists, now represent
ing a big proportion of our popula-
ton, find in good roads an induce
men to go far afield. Every auto
owner spends money for the up-keep
of his machine, and every traveller by
auto needs refreshment of some kind,
so trade follows the auto.
Neglect Tourist Business.
We Montanans are most %neglectful
IN n particular, we find no time to
cultivate the tourist business. We
have the scenery, the climate, the ma
tural attractions of various kinds. We
have the two greatest National Parks
of the United States. We have heal
ing springs; health-giving pine for
ests; hunting and fishing that can
not be surpassed anywhere; yet we do
not make much effort to get our fell
low citizens of the less favored states
out here to enjoy all these blessings.
Europe with it's old castles, compare
lively tame scenery, a lot of paint
ings and soldiers has, in the past, alb
sorbed yearly about $500, 000, 900. 90 of
good American money. This year the
soldiers of Europe are employed in
demolishing all these assets. We
should step in and start the tide of
tourist travel westward

CLAIMS
FOR LUSITANIA
U. S. STATE DEPARTMENT WILL
ASK SETTLEMENT FOR $5,-
900, 900 DEMAND.

Wshington.-The United States de-
partment is expecting Germany to pay
an indemnity for all American lives
lost on the L~usitania and American
property destroyed by the sinking of
that boat by a German submarine. The
sum of nearly six millions of dollars
IS asked in forty odd damage suits
which grew out of the sinking of the
ship.
1t is expected that complete settle
ment of the Lusitania claims, so far as
Americans are affected, will be tax
en- up by Secretary Lansing as soon as
Ambassador Bernstorf returns to
Washington for the winter.
Negotiations looking toward the
settlement of the Lusitania claims
were progressing f~avorably when in
terrupted by the sinking of the Ara
bic August 10, 1915. Secretary Lans-
ing her broke off the Lusitania ne
gotiations, declaring that they would
not be resumed until the Arabic sink
ing had been cleared up. Germany
finally accepted responsibility for the
sinking of the Arabic and agreed to
pay a monetary indemnity, declaring
it was "ready to pay out of friendly
consideration and leaving aside the
question of liability resulting from
international law, and indemnity for
the loss of American lives, which the
German government deeply regrets"
Secretary Lansing then reopened
negotiations concerning the Lusitan-
ia claims, but these were interrupted
by the sinking of the Sussex. Ger
many was then warned that unless she
changed her submarine methods, dip
lomatic break would ensue. Since
then the Lusitania claims have been
side-tracked.

here when it was presented at the
postoffice. 1t was the first spurious
money order blank on record since one

Multiple Craze Is Over;
Four Now Reign Supreme

as fashions, is over the multiple
cylinder craze and today the four
reigns supreme.
The most popular cars + all tours,
in the United States. That is, there
are more four cylinder cars purchas-
ed than all the skies, Fights and
twelves combined. Price has been
the main reason for this preference,
after that came economy. But the
man who can afford and has owned
skies, Fights or twelves, is beginning
to wonder why a four will not do his
work as satisfactorily at less cost per
mile.
The manufacturers are recognizing
this sentiment in their announcements
for 1917 and there will be several
four and six cylinder ears this year
with names on the radiators that have
formerly been on SKIES, Fights and
twelves.
The lowest priced car and the high
est priced car built today are fours.
The hundred-mile-an-hou cars on the
speedways are fours, and all general
utility trucks are tours.
The skies, Fights and twelves are
smooth, quiet and powerful, but the
four will travel over the same road at
less cost per mile and make just as
good time.

Some Typical Montana Roads.

car Bohn of Butte, who, backed up
by the Automobiles of his city, had
contracted with the county officials
and built sixty odd miles of boule-
ward in Silver Bow County. Mr.. Rohn
used traction engines to haul large
graders and drags. After rounding up
the road bed, a ten-ton roller fin
ished the surface. The road was well
crowned and drained. All culverts
were extra large and long, extending
several feet beyond the grade on each
side of the read. All that is neces-
sary to keep up such a road is to
pass the traction engine, drawing
graders and drags over same, once
after the spring rains each year, and
follow this once with the roller, and
the road is good for the season. Such
roads cost, in the vicinity of Butte,
about $500 per mile. Highest priced
labor is employed. The grades are
light and the curves easy. Head-work
and skill in training the road builders
counts a great deal. These backed
by enthusiasm bring results.
Roads once built must be kept up.
Such roads could be built in the cow
counties for 5000 per mile.
Better Road Laws.
Montana has had an organized
Highway commission for the past two
years, which has done a lot of good
work. The last legislature contin-
ued the Commission and provided a
fund for its use (of course from the
automobilistsl so that its work will
be continued. Some notifications
were made in the Road Laws that will
help, and no doubt the next legisla-
ture will do more in this line.
There are many enthusiasts who
want to pave the roads of Montana
and to bond all the counties for these
improvements. To such, we must
say, be patient and sensible, we have
not revenue enough to do such work
now. The roads if built now would
require reconstruction before the
bonds were paid up; therefore, be con.
tent with good dirt roads and use
your bonding credit only for perma.
nent bridges, or rock work on roads.
There are a few localities where
good road metal can be obtained
cheaply, and in these we would ad
wise the liberal coating of the roads
with such material properly rolled in
to compact form.
Where should the first good road!
be built? We should follow the ex
ample of the railroads, and builC
through main lines touching all thu
important cities and towns; thei
build feeder lines from all the towns
cities and settlements.

Benefits the Merchant.

The people most benefited by
good roads are, first, the farmers;
second, the merchants; third, the au-
tomobilists. The road that will suit
the last named is none too good for
the farmers and merchants.
Granted that good roads must be
built, what class of roads will best
meet Montana's requirements? Our
rainfall is not excessive. Our soil, in
most parts, is good road material
where it is not, there is generally to
be found in the vicinity, rock of a
suitable character for road metal, or
decomposed granite to mix with
clayey soil. Our population is not
great enough to stand the expense
Of paved highways, so we must be
content with dirt roads. This, in
our State, is no hardship for dirt
roads car be built and maintained at
a minimum cost.
M. John A. Wilson, President OF
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, visited Butte a year ago. He
was met by a committee of automo-
bile and other good road enthusiasts
and driven about 120 miles in one day
over the excellent dirt roads of Silver
Bow, Deer Lodge, and Powell coun.
ties. He said: awe Fasteners can
not tell you fellows anything about
roads. Here you have shown mi
miles of boulevard, as good as any
l ever rode over, which cost not tt
exceed $4,000 per mile and can b'
used all the year round. Down II

Argument in favor of Good Roads
in Montana are almost superfluous.
We wanted Good Roads and we got
them. Some of our roads are better
than others. Some cost a great deal
more than others. Many of our roads
were built on the old system of road
supervisors, holding semi-political
jobs; result, roads cost on an average
$1500.00 per mile and then do not
amount to much.
Road building is a science. The
brightest men in the United States
have been at work studying condi-
%tions, in various parts of the country,
in an attempt to get the best road for
the least money. The great incentive
to bodybuilding was the coming Of
the automobile.

About Putting

The following may prove OF interest
TO those indulging in any putting re-
search:
Dear Mr.. Rice:
| have read with much interest your
talk about putting.
As experimenting whn. you have
written. some time try putting with
one toe pointing TO the hole.
For example. II you play left-handed,
as | do, take your stance with the toe
Of your right foot pointing directly at
the centre of the hole, making an acute
angle with the line Of the ball to the
hole.
II you play right.hsnded, then. Of
course, the left foot will be pointed at
the hole.
Maybe you have tried this.
II not, you will find il interesting.
am only n dub" but a good pro-
fessionsl taught me that, and when J
began doing IL regularly, as | did there
after, found that 1t tremendously in
creased the accuracy OF my puts, par
teularly the long ones.
Il helps you to keep the head still
because invariably you find that when
you point your foot at the hole. then
let your club drop behind the ball, you
don't need TO look in the direction Of
the hole at all. unless you choose, be
cause that particular stance makes the
club drop into a perfectly natural posi-
ton behind the bail, where the line TO
the hole is precise, and you have 70

It may sound weird. but try it few
