HEARING FOR SELECTION SITE
FOR ARMOR PLATE FACTORY
NOW IN PROGRESS.
MERITS PRE- EsENTED
TIL Advantages of Each Contestine
City Being Strongly Presented
BY Earnest Orators-Au
Will he Given Hearing.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 14--Four
naval authorities today umpired the
liveliest land battle they ever saw
the $11, 100000 prize contest for
the governments armor plate plant
site.
Over six score cities are partiei-
pating. Each contestant has all the
advantages needed for any first class
armor plate factory. according to the
earnest orators, to a degree not
eQualled by any other.
The naval authorities, Secretary
Daniels, Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt, Admiral Benson and Rear Ad-
miral Strauss, heard the arguments
of the states that began with Ala
bama and continued alphabetically
down to Rhode Island. Today Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, opened the en-
gagement. Tennessee, Texas, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia cities are
to be heard before dark.
The cheapest fuel. the best trans
portation facilities. the most acces-
sible points, the highest class of
labor and the best working condi-
tions were some of the attributes of
all the cities represented. Some of
them threw in a fine climate for
good measure. The naval men will
give careful consideration to all the
points made. They will be asked
to balance against deep water har-
tors on the coast the danger OF at
tack by foreign enemy. and the
inland city orators are making the
r,ost of of il. With this danger re-
moved 1t is generally agreed that
the coast cities have the best of the
argument,
One instance of team play was de-
deloped. Bristol, Tennessee, wants
the plant. So does Bristol, Virginia.
If the Virginia Bristol loses 1t Is
hoped that the Tennessee Bristol
wins. The only division between
them is the state line. the two cities
being pretty much the same in 9th
er respects.

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 ant1quated, 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
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
fvo% f1r M
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 Henry's
Lake are in first-class shape
To Throw Off Forest Control.
On visit to the east, which Mr..
Eagle expects to make within fe"
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 busl-
ness are located and there is no way
of obtaining title to them under the
present conditions.

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 a piano or a graphophone for
ballast. Automobiles ordered by
small town dealers by the dozen and
their way from the distributing
point. The newcomer who has spent
two or three seasons on his land
winter, while the farmer just getting
a 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
homesteads. In many districts this
situation already has solved the ques-
tion of what will happen to the bar
tender when the dry law goes into
force.
"These homesteaders certainly
have a lot of faith in Montana" said
resident at Fort Benton-himself
a homesteader. Everybody is ready
to trust them and they aren't giving
much thought to the prospect of a
dull day. They find it an easy mat
ter to pay up the amounts due to
the town merchants which frequently
reach large sums and make provision
for the next season. Then off they
go to the coast to have a good time
until spring. The few that stay on
their ranches stock up with all the
comforts of the old home. Why, the
other day when was riding into
town from my place eight miles out,
I met, in the course OF mile or two
four farmers who were bringing in
junk for the winter. One of them
had big stove and lot of furni-
ture aboard and each of the others
besides provisions, was taking home
SIS or 500 phonograph."

ROADS
M0NTANA'S NEED
ONE ENTHUSIAST SUGGESTS
VOTING OF BOND ISSUE
FOR HIGHWAYS.
Two Great National Parks Would
Attract Many Automobile Tourists
If Roads We're 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 a bond issue sufficient to
meet all requirements for build
ing permanent roads in the
state? "A well-known good roads
enthusiast, who knows OF the
substantial benefits resulting
from tourist travel, asks this
pertinent question. He says:
''I am sure there is no state in
the union which needs good roads
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.
Il am thorough believer in
the saying that if we want anything
enough to go after it we can get it,
ana truly DellcVe tudC We pGOple
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 az
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.
"While l do not know how many
automobiles there are in the state, /
will venture to say there is not a
single owner who would not donate
The Ronan pioneer., 1916-12-15

The female is illogical-her reason
ings unsolnd;
She'll drive her car and never
know what makes the wheels
go round;
The man is so cOnceited no inStruc-
ton 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 motor
car. 1t is difficult to teach a woman
to drive because women, as rule,
haven't the slightest conception OF
the mechanical principles of motor
car construction and operation. 1t 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 a car,
that he is generally 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 impolitely 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 priciples to them, and they keep
listening until you nave 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 a
woman any day than would man.
The trouble with man is, he knows
a 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 a 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 a long time
for she will make lots OF blunders
But on the whole, she's easier tc
teach because she is willing to learn. >
