A VETERAN PICNIC.

Last Sunday the veteran class in
the Methodist Sunday school decided
to have an afternoon picnic at the
city park on the fourth. So, even on
that short notice, the ladies baked
cakes and all necessary plans were
made to make the outing a very
pleasant occasion for all. There
were two freezers of ice cream and
plenty of cake. Twenty-Five were
present and they made jolly bunch
on the band stand, just room enough,
This is indeed young-hearted set
and though their ages range from so
to 80 years, they are not wasting
any time looking on the shady side
of life. After all, this is the way
to keep young. In heaven we shall
be perpetually young and happy.
After a short talk by the pastor,
appropriate to the celebration of our
country's birthday, and prayer, we
all were bountifully served with the
choicest ice cream and cake, then the
company dispersed feeling grateful
for the outing of the afternoon. And
they did not get wet either.
Let all the members Of the class
try to be regularly present at the
sessions of the Sunday school.

Dragged to Death BY Horse.

Claude, the 7-year-old son of Dan
Janice, farmer living six miles
east of Lake Charles, was dragged to
death Tuesday morning by horse he
was taking from his home to the
field for his father. The boy was
riding the horse, which had been har-
messed up ready for work. When the
animal took fright the boy was trown
off, becoming entangled in the lines,
and was dragged several hundred
yards. His limbs were broken and
he was badly mangled. He lived only
a few minutes.

The remarkable sales of the Stu

and success.
Not only will the standard of Civ.

goes into the makeup of this car of
faithful performances.
Suitable salesroOms and cOmmodi-

Stevenson says, in the principal SELL

enced in acquiring sites on account
of the remarkable prosperity evident

years, We are Just beginning to won
der, in the face of high fuel rates,
why this Ignite cannot be put to
use! So slow does man move!
In the Bull mountains, north of
Billings, Mr.. Panton found, was
and is-"a huge vein of high grade
Ignite, covering so square miles. It
lies in a horizontal position, is Is
feet thick and when opened" he
said, could be mined by the side of
the rails and thrown directly into
railway cars! Why aren't we burn

sins were also inestimably rich in
Ignite, he learned Are they yet?
Has somebody overlooked some of
this? Perhaps only Professor Rowe
of the University of Montana, who
than any man living, could answer?
Oil in the South.
OF oil, too, Mr.. Panton thought
Montana had vast resources. He
found that pioneers breaking the
Bridger trail fabricated their spring
wagons with crude oil from the
springs on the north slope of the
Pryor mountains. This section is
just north of the famous Elk Basin
country, where a considerable vol
ume of oil is being produced.
The Boar Greek coal fields, south
of the Yellowstone, and the Flat
head coal fields, near the British
Columbia line, also showed oil traces,
he said. "How great the oil areas
between these two widely separated
points may be-" he wrote, "time and
exploration will tell The time has
slipped by; the exploration is just
beginning in earnest.
Mr.. Panton found asbestos in the
west Gallatin and on the Madison;
onyx and jaspar in Park and Madison
counties; "great beds of gypsum" in
Yellowstone and Carbon counties.
What are We doing with these?

eminent.

The MissOula chamber of commerce
is on record as pledging it's unquali-
fled support to the proposition to
construct road from Missoula to
Lewiston, Ida.
A resolution calling the attention
of the people of Idaho and Missoula
to the Importance of a road from
Lolo Hot Springs by way of
Kooskia into Lewiston and urging
the people of Idaho to build this
road to the Montana line was passed
unanimously by the gathering of
more than LOO business and pro-
fessional men of Missoula.
Missoula Will Help.
Missoula is ready to do her share
in every way possible, says the reso-
luton, and the state will be urged to
assist in building this vrey important
highway to the Idaho-Montana line.
The resolution brought out the fact
that the district forester in charge of
forests in Montana and northern
Idaho has declared that he will rec
ommend the building of the Missoula-
Lewiston road as soon as possible
and will request forestry funds to pay
half the cost of the roads construc-
ton.
Forestry Service Interested.
Senator r. S. Randall of Lewiston
and Senator N. B. Pettibone of
Grangeville, 'da., addressed the meet
ing and made distinct impression on
the gathering by their enthusiasm
for good foads. Major F. A. Fem of
the forest service. formerly of Oro-
fino, Ida, explained the proposition
and Montanas interest in detail The
session was an enthusiastic one in
every way.

GOOD ROADS HELP
FARM VALUATIONS
MONTANA FARMERS ARE REGTN-
MING TO APPRECIATE
BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Cause Land Values TO Increase; In
vestigation by Experts of the De-
partment Of Agriculture Indicate
Increases of FvOm Fifteen to
Eighty Per Cent.

Montana farmers, WHO control a
majority of the boards of commits
sloners in the various counties of the
state, are beginning to realize that
good road systems have much to do
with farm valuations. The roads of
Fergus county, where farm values
are excellent, are among the
best in the state. The same state
ment is true of Gallatin county,
which is community of much older
settlement than Fergus.
10 determine as far as possible
the exact dollars and cents effect on
county of the improvement of bad
roads, specialists of the office of pub
Tic roads and rural engineering of
the federal department of agriculture
made economic surveys in eight coun-
ties in each of the years from 1910
to 1915, inclusive.
Increases Selling Price.
This study of the increase in the
values of farm lands in the eight
counties reveals the rather interest
ing fact that following the improve
ment of the main market roads the
increase in the selling price of till
able farm lands served by the roads
mas amounted to from one to three
times the total cost of the improve
ments. The estimates of increase
were based for the most part upon
the territory within a distance of a
mile on each side of the roads i'm
proved.
Eighty Per Cent Increase.
In Spotsylvania county, Va, care
full record was made in 1910 of IS
farms located on tie road selected
for Improvement. OF the seven farms
sold in 1912 the prices actually paid
show increases of from 81 to 116
per cent over the 1910 valuation. The
average value after the roads were
improved was $2S.26 per acre as
compared with $17.31 previous to
the Improvement. In 1913 four
transfers of farm land were on the
basis of $30,11 per acre, where the
properties were listed in 1910 at only
$13.89 per acre. It appears that the
1,451 acres sold in 1914 Increased in

$24.46 to $44.1O per acre.
In Manatee county, Fla, careful
study of sales and real estate recorGs
indicated that the improvement of
roads has added from Is to 100
per cent, or at least SIS per acre, to
the selling price of all lands within
one-half mile of improved roads. This
would give a total of $611, 900, or
more than twice the value of the
