"Your program of state trunk roads
north and south and east and ~sss
is based on sound, economic principles
Such roads would materially aid the
farmers and many of the small towns
of the state. The beautiful lakes of
the state would be more accessible
to the centers of population. Such
improvements of our highways would
bring thousands of tourists from other
states, make better markets right at
hand for the products of the dairy
and farm. 1t will be followed by a
greater incentive for the intensive
cultivation of our land"

WASHINGTON = Senator Stone
chairman of the committee on for

speech that employees in confidential
positions in the state department had
on several occasions betrayed their
trusts by giving out information in

This gives official recognition to a
condition it was suspected must exist
and, logically, it seems that it must
lead to an investigation which may
result in startling disclosures, which
may solve the whole leak" problem.
Senator Stone rose to a question of
personal privilege.
He said that confidential communi-
cations concerning the honor of the
nation had fallen into improper hands.
Senator Stone denounced Thomas
w. Lawson for his recent declaration
that members of congress would
shrink from an investigation into
stock market leaks

without saying; not that megaphon-
ic human donk may not have his

Representative Campbell of Kansas,
ranking Republican of the committee,
notified Chairman Henry :hat Re
publican committeeman would insist
on an investigation.
No Probe, Says Henry.
After two conferences with Mr.
Lawson, Chairman Henry of the house
rules committee, issued this state
ment:
Mr.. Lawson charged that there
was leak from the state department
to Wall street some days ago and that
through such an alleged leak certain
individuals by specializing in Wall
street cleaned up $60,000,000 or more. :
ST have asked him for the name of
the individual profting by such al
legged leak. He has not furnished the
names in either case. And so there is
at this time nothing yet furnished me
even approaching information that
would warrant me in calling together
the committee on rules
Upon leaving Mr.. Henry's office,
Lawson declared that he had given
enough information to warrant "any
intelligent man in proceeding with an
investigation of the entire stock ex-
change situation"

Bert Spencer, we'll remembered by
Missoula fans since the days when he
used to spear them near the flag pole
out at Campbell park while working
in the livery of John McCloskeys Salt
Lake team. has returned to the ma
tional game after being out for sew
eral years. Spencer, who was one of
the cleanest hatters that ever played
in the Union association, and prob
ably as good Il fly chaser AS the or
ganiZation boosted, came to Salt Lake
in 1913 from the Milwaukee club of
the American association. In 1914
Spencer was injured in an automo-
bile wreck at Salt Lake city, and has
been out of the game ever since, but is
now looking for Il berth with some
fast league team. Bert should have no
trouble catching on, if he has fully
recovered from his injuries.

VOLCANO HAS BIGGEST
CRATER IN THE WORLD
Fiery Lake Eight Miles
Acknowledging Feat.

Honolulu.-(By Mail)-Intense ac-
tivity, greater than known heretofore
to any Hawaiians now living, is mani
fest in Kilauea volcano, according to
reports received here Kilauea is the
largest active crater in the world,
eight miles in circumference, and is
situated in the southeasterly part of
the island of Hawaii, the largest
Ysland of the group.
The volcano. enclosed by a circular
wall from 200 to 700 feet in height, is
a black plain of some four square miles
in area, within which is the pit of Hal
emaumau, about 1000 feet in diameter.

mouth with boiling lava. A few months
ago the life of the volcano could hardly
be discerned, but today the pit is a
roaring. boiling, swirling lake of fire
of many acres in extent and at night
the glow from the red hot lava can be
seen all over the island and far out
at sea. The fiery lake is filled with
spouting fountains that shoot the liq-
uid rock hundreds of feet into the air.
The rim of the pit is constantly

Rucked Real lean

The lineups of the teams that the
Athletics played at Columbus and
Laurel show that instead OF playing
some "rube" team in a small country
town, the Missoula team ran up
against quints composed or expert
enced men. Jim and Burt Amin, for
mer star Aggie players, and Goucher,
who played with the Billings indie
pendents the first part of the season,
played on the Columbus team. which
whipped the Athletics. The Laurel
Independents imported Talmadge, the
giant center of the Joliet independent
team, for their game against Missoula,
but even his presence failed to bring a
victory.

Advance Done.

Advance dope. with it's usual elias
ITCHY, is already beginning to swarm
across the borders of the sporting
page.
In the National league it is now a
question of who'll beat out the
Giants"
In the American league the main
query is, "Can the Red Sox get by
again." McGraw not only has the
strongest ball club on paper. Last fall
in the five closing weeks. he had by
all odds the strongest ball club on the
field. Until the collapse came at the
finish he had q club able to run rough
shod over all opposition-the main
main tangle is that last May the
Giants won seventeen straight on the
road and then flopped from within a
game of the peak to sixth place. They
ever took the field. In two forced
marches they put away forty three
victories without a defeat-and then
couldn't finish any better than fourth.
They ought to win--but there's a bale
of temperament attached to the club,
and temperament is always beyond the
border of the dope.
But temperament also means human
interest, at times, and the Giants, win
or lose, are going to be almost as in
terestng a machine as the old Cubs.

the surging tide of fire. and tumbling
with deafening crashes into the mol
ten mass.
Reports from Htlo record the per-
ilous feat of Professor T. A. Jaggar,
Jr.. director of the volcano observa-
tory. in venturing out on the hot, bare
" solicited edge of the lava for more
than 100 yards to plunge his instru-
ments into the lake of fire for the
purpose of ascertaining its Temporal
ture. He was successful and he and
his assistants escaped in safety only a
short time before the spot on which
they had stood was engulfed and be-
came itself part of the boiling flood.
The temperature of the lake is more
than 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, accord
ing to the results obtained by Profess
sor Jaggar The temperature was
found by thrusting into the molten
lava lengths of pipe screwed together,
into the end of which had been fitted
six Seegar cones, conical plugs of flu
sible clay designed to melt at vary
ing temperatures.
To reach the living lava, Professor
Jaggar and his assistants had to
scramble down 60 feet over the rim of
the pit, holding on to the knife edged
crags that had been thrown up by the
volcanoes activity. One Of the party
fell when near the bottom, but for
tunately regained his feet in time to
prevent rolling into a fissure where
he would have been consumed in an
instant
