SHOWS OF PARK
BUCKED BY AUTO
MOTORIST TRAVELS SIXTY MILES
THROUGH TEN INCHES OF
THE BEAUTIFUL.

Travelling so miles by automobile
through 10 inches of snow, over an
unbroken trail, was the method used
by Sam P. Eagle, postmaster at Yel-
lowstone, the western entrance to the
wilderness of the upper Madison
country, recently, according to Mr..
Eagle. One small drift caused a
stop, but no digging was necessary.
In returning within a few days,
the postmaster expects to cover the
stretch through the park travelled by
the automobile, on skis. In the
country around Yellowstone skis are
used almost exclusively for winter
travel, and until the present winter
sleds-generally dog sleds-have
been used to transport mails and
goods.
Stage Coach to Go.
According to the visiting postmas-
ter, there is every indication that
the stage coaches, which form the
picturesque, but antlquated, means of
travel for many park tourists, will
next season be supplanted by auto
mobile coaches. The experiment of
admitting privately owned automo-
biles into the park has been so sue
cessful that the government appears
willing to permit the transportation
companies to change from the horse
to the motor vehicles, providing there
is a single operating company.
Roads Good.
Because autos were admitted to the
park the country near Yellowstone,
which is the terminus of the Oregon
Short Line road to the park and the
entrance point for the greatest num-
ber of tourists, has undergone good
roads boom in the past two years, Mr..
Eagle said. Leading from the limits
of Yellowstone, which is on the park
border, seven miles of macadam road
has been completed by the govern
ment, and six more miles is graded
and will be finished before the park
opens in June. There are now five
roads leading into Yellowstone, and
three of these are accessible to auto
lists. The scenic Gallatin road will be
in good condition WHEN the park
opens and the roads up the Madison
river by way of Grayling and Henrys
Lake are in first-class shape.
To Throw Off Forest Control.
On a visit to the east, which Mr..
Eagle expects to make within few
months, a determined effort will be
made by him and other residents of
the little park town to have the town
incorporated and removed from the
control of the forest service. At pres
ent, residents of Yellowstone are han
dicapped to a very large extent be-
cause they are compelled to lease the
lots upon which their places of busi-
ness are located and there is no way
of obtaining title to them under the
| present conditions.

It's the Personal Touch.

Whatever the form of Christmas
good wishes, they will be welcome.
A large collection is flattering and
the most critical and cynical of us
are sentimental at heart. A humble
post card from our office boy gets
rise from us.
A very much bedaubed and blotted
message from Roy Blue or Curly
locks will cause even the most mat
ter-of fact business man to see
through haze, while the original
poem penned by the nine-year-old
Ella Wheeler Wilcox down the street
(she plays the violin and her name
is Aseneth), fills our heart to over
flowing It is the personal touch that
counts It is the homemade Christ
mas card that goes right to the spot.
How could anyone be indifferent to
such tributes-such labors of love?
The cheap card sent " our old negro
Nanny, still faithful after many
years; the Christmas Greetings from
Ellen, now marries, and a mother of
three kids-of such is the real spirit
of the season.

MONTANA FARMERS ARE
ENJOYING PROSPERITY

The wave of prosperity that has
swept this year and last over the
hOmesteaders of northern Montana is
carrying to the door and into the
home of the prairie dweller many
cOnveniences and comforts of city
life. Everywhere telephone lines are
being extended and scores of school
houses are being built. Wagons that
go to town loaded with grain return
with piano or a graphophone for
ballast. Automobiles ordered by
small town dealers by the dozen and
the score are sold before they are on
their way from the distributing
point. The newcomer who has spent
two or three seasons on his land
goes to California or Florida for the
winter, while the farmer just getting
start who has a trade can find a
job waiting for him at almost any
of the cities or towns to tide him
over until the spring.
At Fort Benton nearly all the bar
bers, cooks and saloon keepers have

town from my place eight miles out,
met, in the course of a mile or two,
four farmers who were bringing in
junk for the winter. One of them

ture aboard and each of the others

SEE THAT YOUR COWS
HAVE PLENTY WATER

All animals require plenty of
good, pure water. This is espe-
pecially true of the milking cow,
as water constitutes more than
three-fourths of the volume of
milk. The water supply, there
fore, demands the dairyman's
most careful attention. Stale or
impure water is distasteful to the
cow and she will not drink
enough for maximum milk pro-
ductiOn. Such water may also
carry disease germs which might
make the milk unsafe for human
consumption or be dangerous to
the cow herself. During the
winter, when cows are stabbed
the greater part of the time, and
unless arrangements have been
made to keep water before them
all the time, they should be wa
tered two or three times a day.
II possible, the water should be
Is or 20 degrees above the freez-
ing point, and should be supplied
at practically the same temper
ature every day. When water
well above freezing temperature
is stored in tanks and piped di-
rect to the COW, there is probably
little occasion for facilities to
warm it; but when it stands in
q tank on which ice often forms,
it usually pays well to warm it
slightly. This can be done by a
tank heater, by live steam, or
by hot water from a boiler. II q
boiler is used for running sep
aratOr or for heating water to
wash and sterilize utensils, steam
from it can readily and cheaply
be used to warm the water.

ings unsoNnd;
She'll drive her car and never
know what makes the wheels

The man is SO conceited no instruc.
tion will avail
So the female of the species learns
more quickly than the male!
'Tis no easy job to teach an adult
human being how to drive a motor
car. It is difficult to teach a woman
to drive because women, as a rule,
haven't the slightest conception of
the mechanical principles of motor
car construction and operation. It is
difficult to teach man to drive be-
cause the average man is so blamed
cocksure of his ability to learn all
there is to know about principle, con-
struction and operation in one brief
demonstration, and so conceited about
the great mass of misinformation he
has acquired in the weeks just pre-
vious to the day he purchases car,
that he is generally a hopeless prop
osition.
The only people who learn to drive
quickly and we'll are little boys and
girls; because they are not conceited,
they listen to your instruction, they
have unbounded faith in your ability
to teach them, and they are capable
of learning about eight and nine
tenths times as fast as the adult.
They do what you tell them to do
without ilnpolitely interrupting you
to ask why they have to do it. They
concentrate all their attention on
the work at hand. And they listen
to you when you explain the mechani-
cal pricipNs to them, and they keep
listening until you have made it all
clear to them. And in two or three
demonstrations they are handling the
machine with greater ease and grace
and efficiency than you are.
But not so with the women. Let's
have a little heart-tO-heart talk with
the automobile dealers about it. Here
is what one says:
women are much quicker in
learning to drive than men," says he
And, believe me, I'd rather teach q
woman any day than I would man
The trouble with man is, he knows
little bit abo mechanical prin.
ciples, and he tries to apply his
knowledge to every single operation
you are trying to demonstrate. He
delays the game. He wants to know
why before he knows how. A woman
will get into car she doesn't know
a blessed thing about, and frankly
admit she doesn't know anything
about it. You can show a woman
what to do. 1t may take long time
for she will make lots of blunders
But on the whole, she's easier Il
teach because she is willing to learn.

Every. time an automobile dis

phase that is commonly overlooked.
according to P. w. Hall of Butte,
Manager for Montana of the Boss
Rubber company.
There are about 26,0O0,0OO
horses in the United States, and each
morse consumes six to seven tons of
food year. 1t is easily figured that
an average of five acres is required
to furnish food for each horse. This
means total of 13u,0OO,OOO acres
of land devoted to pastures and rais-
ing hay-20O,O00 square miles. This
means nearly five states as big as

says Mr.. Hall.
"Of course, the releasing of all this
area from pasture uses and making
1t available for the support of popu-
lation will be a tremendous gain. In
dozen other ways the automobile
is adding more to the wealth of the
country, relieving urban congestion,
making men more efficient. The au-
tomobile has done more to bring ret-
ter roads than all other influences
combined, and in this it is stabilizing
produce markets, decreasing costs Of
transportation from the farm to the
railroad and making the food re-
sources elastic and responsive.
II say the automobile is doing all
this, but in my judgment the tire
manufacturer is entitled to a lot OF
the credit. Tires have helped to
make automobiles dependable and
desirable. Without good tires auto
mobile sales would be restricted
Good tires have made the automobile

PERMANENT ROADS
MONTANA'S NEED
ONE ENTHUSIAST SUGGESTS
VOTING OF BOND ISSUE
FOR HIGHWAYS,
Two Great National Parks Would
Attract Many Automobile Tourists
If Roads Were Improved; Tour
ist Who Comes to Montana Cannot
Help But BE Impressed.

Would it be asking too much
of the citizens of Montana to
vote q bond issue sufficient to
meet all requirements for build
ing permanent roads in the
state? A well-kn0wn good roads
enthusiast, who knows of the
substantial benefits resulting
from tourist travel, asks this
pertinent question. He says:
II am sure there is no state in
more than does Montana. With two
of the most wonderful parks in the
world, Yellowstone National and Gla-
cier, almost at opposite ends of the
state, good roads would mean that
thousands of easern tourists would
motor through the state, and no man
can pass through Montana and not
be impressed with it's possibilities.
And tourists mean money for the
hotels, garages, accessory houses and
business establishments generally.
For Permanent Highways.
II am thorough believer in
the saying that if we want anything
enough to go after it we can get it,,
and l truly believe that we people
of this great state have backbone
enough to go after this road question
so strongly that in a comparatively
short time we can have every high
way and intersection so improved as
to make them practically everlasting.
would it be asking too much of
our good citizens that they vote a
bond issue sufficient to meet all the
requirements for building permanent
roads throughout the state? Other
states have done and are doing this,
and are benefitting thereby. There
are doubtless a number of men here
who are buying bonds issued by other
states for very similar work, when
they could as we'll be investing it in
the improvement OF their own state.
Owners Would Donate.

automobiles there are in the state, l

and Clifford Hammond was not the type
of man to endure that.
Mildred missed the old free life Of
the plantation, the love so freely shown,
and the delight in her affection. For
a time Clifford seemed to try to make
her happy, but his business absorbed
him, and even before they returned
from Europe, he would forget her for
hours at time, and she, who had had
nothing but love and kindness all her
life, would go away by herself and
weep.
