RESTAURANT PRICES
IN MONTANA SOARING

Headed by the bountiful Boston
bean the price of "eats' are march
ing upward at steady or a quick
step pace in restaurants throughout
Montana. Helena cafeterias are SELL
ing pork and beans at the same price
as roast beef, claiming that beans cost
three times as much as they did a
year ago. In many of the "hash
houses" where the lowest restaurant
prices are to be found these places
depend for their profits upon a num-
erous patronage with minimum cost
for service, the price Of two eggs, any
style, with coffee, has advanced from
~ cents to rs cents. This order, of
course, is from 10 to Is cents higher
IN the better class restaurants. The
advances are being made, however, in
restaurants of both high and low
degree. One of the first class grills
at Butte, for instance, has announced
its intention of raising the price of
steaks all along the line. T-bone
steaks that cost rs cents will now sell
at s5; porterhouse steaks are raised
from 50 cents to 81 and sirloins from
65 cents to rs.

WHITEHALL-B0ULDER
HIGHWAY COMPLETED

The Whitehall-Boulder highway is
now completed and ready for use. The
road runs over the hills and is one of
the finest in this part of the state.
The trip from here to Boulder was
formerly a hard one on account of the
poor road. Now it will be possible
for the people of the two communities
to visit one another without great in
convenience. Besides, the ranchers
will have splendid highway over
which to bring their products to mar
ket and the value of their land will
thus be increased.

Helpful Automobile Hints

Do not dash up to the place where
you intend to stop and then set the
brakes as hard as you can. 1t wears
the brakes needlessly, and strains the
tires. 1t may even cause the wheels
to lock and slide on one spot on the
tire. Careful motorists gauge the mo-
mentum and bring the car to rest
with only gentle pressure on the
service brake.
If your motor is growing noisy, look
at the valve tappets. If the adjust
ments are loose, the space widens and
the valve litter gives a hammer blow
on the valve stem. Adjust the space
to the thickness of a visiting card
while engine is cold. When the motor
heats up the valve stem lengthens ana
takes up nearly all the clearance, MAX
ing but little noise, if any.
When removing any part of
mechanism, mark the parts which
come together, so that there will lie
no mistake in replacing them. When
you take off a nut, replace it on the
stud, so that it will not be necessary
to hunt for it when wanted. The us
ual practice of duming everything III
to a box is bad one, as it takes too
long to sort out nuts and bolts when
parts are to be replaced.
Make list of all small tools, az
cessories and other things needed on
the car, and carry it in convenient
packet on the car. Go over the list
once month, and see what articles
are missing or need replacing. Mol
key wrenches and screw drivers are
carried into the house and left there;
other articles are misplaced. Make
sure you have everything on the car,
and then you are safe.
When making motor adjustments,
i usually is necessary to exercise

was rechiristened by it's present name
of Deer Lodge.
This name is derived from the Hot
Spring mound or butte in the upper
part of the Deer Lodge valley, called
by the Snake Indians "the whitehall
ed Deer LODGE as deer of this va
1ety were formerly in the swamps of
the neighborhood and as the mound
resembled an Indian lodge on win
ter morning when the steam rose from
the hot spring on its summit like the
smoke from the wigwam.
When Deer Lodge county was Gre
ated out Of Missou1a county by the
first Montana legislature on February
2, 1865, the county seat was located
at Silver Bow, near the present city
Of Butte. Silver Bow then was more
populous than Deer Lodge but it soon
started on decline. With strikes of
rich ore in Ophir, Snow Shoe, Jeffer-
son, Washington, Bear and Elk gulch-
es, the majority of the population
shifted to the other end Of the valley
and in 1866 the county seat was re-
moved to Deer Lodge, the TOWNSHIP
company donating the blocks for the
court house and the Jail.
Oldest College There.
At Deer Lodge is located the oldest
of higher learning in the
state, the College of Montana, found
ed by the Presbyterian church. Tt
also contains st. Mary's academy for
girls and well-built public schools.
Within the last few years hundreds
of new buildings have been erected in
the town and large sums have been
spent in public improvements, includ-
ing new sewer system and several
miles of sidewalks. 1t is we'll laid
out with streets bordered by shade
trees and contains many churches.
1t is division point of the Chicago,
& st. Paul railway and
large railroad shops and terminal IA
cilities are located there. The Mon
tana State prison is also located at
Deer Lodge.

OF the country into all other parts of
the country and this intermingling,
this travelling, will be of incalculable
value. Woe be to the state that fails

OLDEST OF PIONEERS.
%, LIVING AT BUTTE
WILLIAM F. BARTLETT BUILT
FIRST CABIN AT MONTANA
CITY IN 1862.

The oldest pioneer Of Montana is
William b. Bartlett Of Butte, SO years
old, but as active as the ordinary man
of Co. He still take prominent part
III the annual reunion of the Pho
neer's society.
Mr.. Bartlett came to Montana with
the first train that crossed the plains
for the far northwest. There are
other pioneers who came to Montana
before Mr.. Bartlett, but he is the
oldest.
Lured westward by the discovery of
gold, Mr.. Bartlett sold out the hotel
that he had been conducting in Mime
sofa and set out in 1862 for Fort Ben
ton. Thence he turned southwark and
passed over what is now Helena before
Last Chance gulch had been christen-
ed. He went to Montana City, a few
miles south Of Helena, in the Prickly
Pear valley, and there built the first
cabin. After prospecting there for
several months he went to Bannacl.
In the spring Of 1868 he joined the
stampede to Virginia City in search of
gold. A few months later he took
charge of the Diamond r. Mercantile
company's store.
In later years Mr.. Bartlett engaged
in business in Salt Lake, whence he
went to the Black Hills in Dakota. He
was employed as agent of the Chey-
enne and Sidney stage lines to Mon
tana and engaged in the hardware
business in Butte, where he has since
resided. He was married in 1866 to
Miss Eliza Cotney of Philadelphia.
Recently Mr.. Bartlett published the
third edition of "The Vigilantes,' an
exact duplication as to contents of the
original printed by Dimsdale.

vi the old towns of the state that
rose on the waves of the gold rush
only to sink soon into the trough of
oblivion, there are few that have
come back.' Among the commun-
tiles so singularly favored by fortune
is Deer Lodge, which within the last
few years has doubled it's population
until it numbers more than 1000. Now
the county seat of Powell county, Deer
Lodge was formerly the metropolis of
Deer Lodge county when that county
was 250 miles long, from north to
south, and rs miles wide.
AT an altitude of 1916 feet, Deer
Lodge yet has climate of such mild
ness that snow enough for sleighing
only falls ABOUT one winter in three.
The site of the city is declared to be
one of the most inspiring in all the
Rocky Mountain region.
1t was the discovery of gold on Gold
creek within a few miles of Deer
Lodge that turned the eyes of the
world to Montana and resulted in the
creation of the territory. Of the MANY
thousands who came westward in the
pioneer days, a large proportion dwelt
for a time ct Deer Lodge or mined
within a score of miles of the town,
The tide ebbed but it is again at flood
bringing the farmer in lieu of the
miner.
Known First as Cottonwood.
Deer Lodge, the commercial center
OF the greater portion of this inter
empire, was known formerly
as Cottonwood, also as Spanish Fork
and La Barge City. The first house
was erected by Thomas Lavatta and
Joe Hill in October, 1860. In the sur
rounding country, on every creek
where there were disgings, other towns
arose only to disappear with a few
months or year or two, Cottonwood
absorbing large proportion of their
populations. Cottonwood gradually
increased in population and wealth.
During this early period a DISPOSE
lion was shown by many of the citi-
zens to ignore the survey of the town
md build inn the streets although the

All over Montana the farmers arc
awakening to the fact that good roads
mean everything to them, and the ma
jority of county commissioners who
will be elected this fall are making
their campaigns for pubic office on
platforms in which road improvement
is the principal plank. 1t means ac-
feasibility to market in a country of
magnificent distances, and keeps the
country in touch with the town and
city.
It is hardly conceivable that there is
any other way by which the country
could make greater material progress
than by building good roads. No her.
ter investment of money could be
made. No greater or more immediate
returns on an investment could be had.
It is no longer question as to wheth-
er we can afford to have good roads.
1t is now apparent to all progressive,
clear-thinking men that we cannot af-
ford to have them.
Strength Lies In Advance.
Nothing else would so instantly and
permanently lift the whole country up
in its worth Wilderness. Not to go on
in good road building is to stagnate.
The strength and glory of people,
state, lies in its inspiring purpose to
go on. No state, no man, has ever
been of consequence, or ever will be,
who is content to let things alone as
they are. Almost nothing is ever so
good that it cannot be better. A civil
ization is measured by it's means of
transportation, by it's roads. This has
always been true to the past. It will
be more increasingly true in the fu-
ture.
City Measured by Streets.
A city or town is measured with
reasonable accuracy by it's streets.
Likewise country roads are an index
to the inhabitants. Good streets are
worth much more to the people than
they cost. They are the first thing to
the extension of a progressive town or
city. Good country roads are worth
very much more to the people than
they cost. Reasonable methods of con-
struction Of course are contemplated.
They bring more to country life that
is desirable than does anything else.
They unite town, city and country.
The city dweller becomes partaker
Of the life of the country and the man
in the country is city man as we'll
because of his quick, constant contact.
Increases Peoples knowledge.
Because Of good roads and the au-
tomobile the people will come to know
themselves and their country. If these
things gave an intimate knowledge of
only one s own state it would be of in
calculable value. If all Montana men
and women knew all Montana and her
people intimately, the life of Montana s
would be greatly enlarged. Get out of :
your own city or town, get away from
your narrow environment, see the
homes and farms and towns and peo- !
pie in the middle of the state, on the
other side Of the state. You will feel
yourself growing, the she'll breaking,
your vision frightening, widening.
You will discover how men come to
want to do things. You will begin to
want to do things yourself.
