THE SPEED OF SHIPS.
Influence Of tho Depth of Water and
the "Wavs Of Translation"

On first thought the seas depth
seems Of little Importance if the ship
finds depth enough to give her an easy
It makes little difference whether she
has six feet or 600 feet between her
keel and the bottom. Such an infer
ence is, however, erroneous, for the
depth exercises an important influence
The British cruisers Blake and Blen-
helm were expected to run twenty -one
knots, but actually ran two knots less
in shallow water. They ran again I'M
der the same power. but the depth
was between 135 and 165 feet. and
their speed was twenty-five knots, one
knot in excess of the maximum cal
culatiOn.
The difference III speed is attributed
to the influence of the ''wave of trans
latiOn" displaced by the ship as she
moves forward, which acts as brake
tom the stronger the friction. A ship
drawing twenty-seven feet Of water
say ship Of $4,000 tonnage-feels
that friction over a depth of $50 feet
According to some calculations, the
dragging influence ceases to be felt
at depth equal to ten and one-half
times the draft if the ship stands high
out of the water.
A curious feature of the matter is
that the speed of the ship is as impor-
tant an element as the depth of the
water-that is to say, the influence of
the depth on the ships speed is more
or less powerful in proportion as the
speed is great. A ship increases her
speed more readily over deep water:
but, on the other hand, the faster a
ship runs the more depth Of water she
requires to prevent the hindrance
caused by the dragging influence of
the friction which is always felt when
the ships keel ''senses" bottom.
> Running ten knots an hour, a ship
must have between twenty-six and
twenty-seven feet Of depth or she is
dragged from below. If running
twenty knots she needs a depth of 1O4
to 1O5 feet, and when running thirty
knots she feels the drag over a depth
of nearly 324 feet.-Exchange

Coburn is no parlor COW puncher,

who have operated in cattle on large
scale in Montana for years. Disguised
with representations OF the cow
puncher, with his gracefully looped
hip belt and the Herpicide whiskers
which are made to adorn his schapps,
he decided to go into the business Of
producing real cowboy films, with a
punch to them, and to use native Buck
Farlins who wnow their business in
stead Of the studio product Of the
east.
Coburn has about fifty cowboys
and cow girls in his troupe, and they
make their headquarters in a little
tented city just outside of Zortman.

FAT JACK"
GOOD JEHU
NO TRADER

Butte, Mont.-The enactment Of
the law which authorizes the estab-
lishment of land banks, for the pur-
pose of furnishing money at low
rates and for long terms, to farmers,
recalls the days when Montana was
the money lenders paradise.
Thirty years ago "Fat Jack" Jones
came to Butte from Kansas City.
where he had broken into the game
Of life as cab driver. There was
not sea-going hack in Butte at the
time. Jack saw the opportunity. But
he had no money.
Jim Murray, five times a million
aire now, was then in the banking
business in Butte. To Murray Jack
went. He told the banker Of the
opening. The banker listened. Jack
was sufficiently eloquent to get the
desired loan, $500, which was to be
invested in fine hack, and hand
some team of horses. The interest,
modest enough in those days, secur-
ity considered, was to be five dollars
a day, payable at noon daily.
The hack was novelty and Jack
drove spanking team and thriving
business. Every day at noon he would
drive up to the bank and pay the
interest. Then he would take the
balance and play faro bank with it.
Always, or nearly always, he lost. But
he handled lot Of money, there was
always plenty of oats in the bin for
his team, and life ran along like q
song.
At the end Of three years, he had
paid nothing on the principal, and he
began to tire Of his bargain. Possibly
it was because Of the monotony Of
driving up to the bankers every day
at set hour. Sometimes it interfer-
ed with session with the tiger. That
was inconvenient.
About that time rich ore was dis
covered in the Occur d'Alenes. Jack
got the fever. Finally he decided to
go to the new Eldorado. So he drove
his team up to the banking house,
paid his last days interest, told the
banker he could take the team and
hack, and walked to the new mining
camp, distance of 200 miles, over
the Rocky Mountains.
But luck was against him. Gold
didn't grow on the trees of the
Coeur d'Alenes. About two months
after his departure Jack presented
himself at the Murray bank again.
He had walked all the way. He re-
newed his arrangement with the
banker, and resumed business again
He is still at the old game, only now
he drives a Packard car, which the
: banker has given him. Everyone
), knows him in Butte. He is the only
: chauffeur in Butte who wears sill
: hat, habit he contracted in the rub
ber tired hack days. Look for hin
) the next time you go to Butte.

Hetty Green's Cash
Goes to MontananS
Hardin Garage Employe to
Get $11,O ,OO0-Miles City
Man Made Wealthy.

Billings, Mont.-Lawrence Grinnel,
an employe of a garage at Hardin,
Big Horn county, was distant cous-
in Of the late Hetty Green, the
world s wealthiest woman before her
death few months ago. Recently
Mr.. Grinnell was notified that upon
the final probating of the Green will
next March, he will receive $11 900
as his share Of the Gideon Howland
estate, which was held in trust by
Hetty Green during her life time. The
estate Of Howland is valued at L.
100000. There are about $50 heirs.
Another heir to the Howland es-
state, E. R. Morton Of Miles City, will
receive still larger slice of the How
land estate, having been advised by
attorneys in the east that his share
amounts to $4,000.
Mr.. Morton s mother was a cousin
of Hetty Green. Gideon Rowland,
who was related to Mr.. Morton s
mother, died in 1923, leaving the bulk
Of his fortune to his daughter, Sylvia
Ann, the favorite of his 13 children.
Mrs. Morton and Hetty Green both
were cousins of Sylvia Ann Howland.
When Sylvia Ann died, she left her
fortune, amounting to 81 100000, to
Hetty Green, to be held in trust until
the death of the latter, when it was
to be divided among the hears of the
Rowland family.

UNCLE DICK SUTTON
OUT OF THEATRICALS
Started in Life With a Wagon Circus;
Made a Fortune in Butte Theaters.

Butte, Mont. - Uncle Dick Suit
ton, for years the dominant figure in
theatrical affairs of the inter-moun-
tain region, ripe in years and rolling
in money, is out Of the show business.
The sale of the Broadway theater re-
Gently to the Oppenheimer- Cohen
combination practically closed long
and interesting career. He still owns
several theaters in various localities,
but he contents himself with collect
ing the rents therefrom, and has
nothing to do with the management
Of these houses.
His career has been a most pic
turesque one. Sixty years ago he
started in life with an old fashioned
wagon circus. When the railroad
shows came into being he embarked
on theatrical career. He has been
very successful and is now rich
man.
He has owned innumerable road
shows, but his speciality has been the
"Tom Show" In theatrical parlance
this means a troupe playing Uncle
Toms Cabin. There have been times
in his life when he had half dozen
"Tom shows on the road.
"In fact son. he said to the writer
on one occasion, "the most expensive
undertaking about tom show is
buying meat for the bloodhounds. !"
Uncle Dick located in Butte about
a quarter of century ago. He had
very little money, but managed to
open, with home made stock COM
pany, in an improvised theater. He
made money from the opening,
bought the Mcguire opera house, then
the leading theater of Butte, opened
Sullivan & Considine vaudeville in
another theater, and finally built the
Broadway, the largest theatrical
house in Butte. At one time he was
managing four Butte theaters and
two or three road shows.

ORIGIN OF
LET 'ER GO
GALLAGHER

Bozeman, Mont.-Bozeman s street
car system is probably the best of
any little city of 10000 in Montana
Recent additions and extensions
are of the character that excite favor
able comment. But time was when
the system was little more than an
adjunct on wheels to the real estate
boom Of some twenty years ago.
The rails started at the depot, ran
by the Bozeman hotel, down the prin-
cipal street, and out to subdivision
property. The car schedule existed
only in the mind of the street car
superintendent, whose name was Gal
lagher incidentally Gallagher was
lineman for the entire system and
motorman and conductor for the only
car that was in service. The other
cars were in the factory-not ord
cred.
When the train came in it was
Gallagher's duty to meet it with a
brave show, and keep the bells of the
car ringing until it attracted atten-
ton. 1t was supposed to be partic-
ularly effective on prospective pur-
chasers of lots in Bozeman, the
Beautiful, who might happen to get
off the train.
When everyone had gotten on the
car and the start was about to be
made, some accommodating towns
man would yell "let her go Gallagh-
er," and Gallagher would let 'er go
The injunction seemed to make 9
hit with the travelling men. They
caught the idea quickly. The mo-
ment they would get on the car, the!
would say '"let her go Gallagher"
That is the way it started. "Let
'er 60, Gallagher" Did you eve1
hear ii? 1t went all over the United
States, and has been in the chestnut
heap these many years.

Here is another that was inspired

THE GOAT
Employees of the railroads now de-

The railroads turn to congress to al

and watch his business go to rack
his goods locked up in freight cars
standing idly on the track. He'll pay
the freight no matter what the out
come proves to be. (This, Mr.. Aver
age Man, is no one else but you or
me.) What though he S out of grocer
les and gasoline or coal; he cannot
let the railroads yield and then 60 in

stand to see injustice done. If there s

in prose form. When you look at one
of Walt Mason's s effusions, which are
printed in numberless newspapers

think you are seeing an ordinary
piece of prose composition. But when
you read it, you find the words at

THOMPSON
HASNOUSE
FOR ICEMAN

Thompson Falls, Mont
"Oh, the ice man
Is nice man,
But of this one thing be sure;
There is something
About his business
That affects his temperature;
For love is such a funny thing
As I've found out
Once or twice;
And all one can get from the ice man
Is Ice! Ice! Ice!"
The love lorn maiden, enamored
of the cold hearted ice man, should
have had him in Thompson Falls,
where he would have been at her
tender mercy, because Thompson
Falls is one of the few places in the
whole Of North American where this
tong g-armed disciple Of King Frost
is properly under subjugation, and
all through natural phenomenon
that exists in very few places in the
world-a natural cold storage plant.
Sixty feet below the earth IS surface
is a stratum of porous sandstone,
which, when tapped, yields an appar-
emily unlimited quantity Of cold air.
This air is under pressure, and is
piped to all the cold storage boxes in
town. 1t is puzzle to all the geol-
ogists who have examined it, and
numerous theories, all rank guesses,
have been advanced regarding this
remarkable deposit. The most pop
ular theory is that somewhere in the
bowels Of the surrounding mountains
is buried million year old glacier,
and this stratum, in contact with the
glacier, conveys the air out.
In the summer months the air
maintains temperature of about 46
degrees above zero, and during the
summer months it flows outwardly,
while during the colder months the
current flows the other way. This
suction is utilized, during the winter
months for the purposes of ventila-
ton.
The cold air is used by the Thomp-
son Falls Mercantile company for
cold storage purposes, is used by all
the meat markets in the town, and in
numerous private residences; it
keeps the ice boxes of all the thirst
parlors cool, and during the hottest
days of the year reduces the temper
ature Of the dining room Of the prin-
cipal hotel of the town to most
grateful degree. 1t is said to be a
sure cure for hay fever, and many
shifting visitors affect Thompson
Falls during the hay fever season. It
keeps the delicate meat Of the beau
tiful Rainbow trout, which abound in
nearby waters, firm and sweet fo1
twice the period that ice does, and
makes of the town delightful place
during the hottest season of the
year.
