The stage lines at present are
charging $50 for one way trips.
while railroad ticket to Portland
from Salem costs $1.98.
We are not going to make

Royal insisted. mo action the
railroad can take will hurt our

that we could make reasonable

O. E. Loses Money
The Oregon Electric line be-

Controlled Like Steamer.

The ship was controlled from
the control car situated forward,
which is similar to the bridge of
ship. The captain controlled the
ship exactly as does the captain
of a sea-going vessel. The COM
munication system consisted of en-
gine room telegraphs, ships tele-
phones and voice tubes. All orders
to the power units on the engine
telegraphs were repeated back to
the control car before being put in
to execution.
The ship was equipped with
radio set, with a sending radius of
about 1900 miles. 1t was also
equipped with a wireless telephone
and radio direction finding set.
If the outer cover were spread
on the ground it would cover a
four-acre plot. The gas bags which
contain the hydrogen gas were
lined with gold-beater's skins.
Gold-beater's skin are taken from
the outer covering of the ntestines
of a COW. There is but one gold
beater skin to each COW that is
slaughtered. There were 100000
of these skins used in lining the
gas bags of ZR-2. The cattle sent
to market from several of ourI
largest ranches on western plains
would have to be slaughtered toI
build one airship.

Piano wire Gives STRENGTH.


The structural strength of the
ship depended a great deal upon
piano wire, used as stays and
braces. There were sixty miles Of
1t on the ZR-2 There were twenty
miles of duralumin channel sec
tion used in making the girders of
which the hull was composed.
The crews quarters was located
in the keelway. This keelway was
long corridor extending the
length of the ship, about eight feet
wide and seven feet high. There
were two large spaces fabric which
were used as quarters, one for
ward for the officers and one aft
for the men. The quarters we're
equipped with comfortable chairs
tables, benches and a Victrola
with a good assortment of records
The hunks were placed along the
keelway at varying intervals. Each
bunk had, in addition to a good
and blankets, a fur-lined
sleeping bag. However, in the
summer months this sleeping bag
was not necessary.
Each power car was eauipped
with a cook arrangement, which
consisted of lead from the ex-
haust flames brought in contact
with the bottom of the vessel in
which the food was being cooked.
The hot food was served on the
tables in the crew dining rooms.

CANDIDATES FOR TROUBLE

In this connection it is not always the fault
Of the one who breaks the traffic rules of life
There's everything in the training to be good
driver. A Courier representative was going home
the other night between the hours of II and IL
o'clock and he noticed several boys ranging in
years from II to 16 prowling around on the
streets. Now where were the parents of these
youngsters? More than likely at some so-called
social function" maybe acting the part of
exhibit one at some lodge doing where tinsel and
braid gave them mOmentary authority. Now
when these youngsters are hauled upon the car
pet as candidates for the reform school what will
the parents do? No boy or girl of the ages above
mentioned, is safe roaming around the streets
towards midnight. If they are not looking for
trouble, trouble will be looking for them. There
will be hint of suspicion that something is
wrong and probably everybody will hear it sooner
than the father and mother and will hear more
Of it than the parents do when the parents finally
get wise. Parents who permit their offspring to
run the streets with no more restraint than if
they were so many tom cats should have a
guardian placed over them. At night devils seek
prey and the vast army of men who go astray
must have their ranks recruited from some
source.

WILLOW CREEK WOMAN
DIES AT HER HOME

Mrs. Mae Dahl, wife of Alfred J.
Dahl, died at her home in Willow
Creek at 1890 p. M, July 1, after
lingering illness. She was born in
Minneapolis on September "a, 1888,
being a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
A. Hearnes of Mauston, Wis. She
was reared in Painesville, Mimi,
where she received her education.
On September %, 1909 she was
married at Billings to A. J. Dahl,
who survives her, as does also a
daughter, Audrey May, three years
old. Three sisters survive. She is
also survived by her father in Maus-
ton, Wis, and by a brother in Cal
gary, Canada. Her husband is agent
at the Northern Pacific depot in
Willow Greek, where he and his fam
lily have lived for the past six years.
Mrs. Dahl was an earnest worker in
the Women's club of Willow Greek,
in the Methodist Episcopal church
and the Ladies' Aid society. She and
her husband have been among the
most highly esteemed citizens of the
community.

RULES OF THE ROAD

Road rules are the result of experience. They
are intended to establish safety and advance
traffic The reason the traffic cop in the city
halts you are several. Your safety is involved
Not only yours but that of hundreds of others
II you run by you are or should be pinched and
fined. That's because large number of persons
besides yourself have rights on the road.
Just so my boy yith the rules of the long
road you must travel until you wear out or go to
the junkpie through accident or misfortune
Those rules of this long road haven't been made
in minute. They have grown. They are the
result of experience. Most of them were born out
Of calamity just as the road rules at the street
corners came about through injuries ard deaths
and destruction of property. Every one of those
rules of conduct, road rules of life, was paid for
by bitter experience. The moral rules are guide
posts showing the best and safest route.
Drive by the signs, kid, drive by the signs.
Observe the rules of the road. Obey the signals
of the man in front Signal the one behind.
Traffic experience has been a thousand gener-
arlons working out those traffic rules on the big
highway.
> S%,i Ga may think it is up to you to "show
speed" Nothing to it. The only applause you
will get is from the scorcher. The general traffic
will remark, "That fool will kill himself or some
body else" "ought to be pinched." The worst of
it is that the general prediction comes true.
You'll find that you'll get farther on the
Journey by observing the rules of the road.
You'll have more mileage and more friends
You'll keep the repute of sensible and law abid-
ing citizen.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT

By a slight majority of the small vote cast
the citizens of BOzeman adopted the commission
manager form of government at the elections last
week. There will be more preliminary steps in
the election of three commissioners, but in the
course Of due time the positions of the mayor
and the council will be vacant and there will be
but the one head to the city's affairs.
For many years the Courier has been an ad-
vocate of this measure. At time when we were
opposed by the balance of the local press and
substantial majority of the citizens, the Courier
worked for this end We believe it to be the
only sensible way of running a city and it is with
a great deal of interest that we watch the new
regime.
Bozeman is by no means unanimous in favor
OF the change. That this is true is shown by the
!clOsenesS of the vote. There will be among those
who voted against the measure some who will
take pleasure in knocking every mistake made
under the new form. That mistakes will be made
there is no doubt. But we are going to have
city manager and we are going to give him, and
Bozeman as well, square DEAL That is the at
tltude to take on the question. We have com
mitted ourselves to the change. Let's see it
through, let's give it a square chance-if it don't
work we can always return to the old adermanic
way OF running civic affairs
We believe that the new form of government
will give the city chance to get out of it's pre-
sent depressing financial difficulties We hope
so, anyway. And to that end, when the new
manager comes to BOzeman, let's all pitch in and
show him what community cooperation can do.
We've all got to ride in the same boat, let's each
take our turn at the oars and see if we cannot
make Bozeman the model, city of Montana, in
government and finances as well as in beauty.
We each of us count in making up this little conn
munlty-we can put over this city manager bust
ness IN good shape if we give it the right cooper
alton, or we may be able to knock it to death
Let's work for the good of Bozeman. We have
the chance. Make the most of it.

ROSE AND HER KASHA BOWL

Rose Pastor Stokes, in a recent issue of the
so-called "LiberatOr,' breaks out, like Mr.. Wegg,
into poetry. In the course of the poem she
walls 90, Russian proletariat, my comrades How
l long to share your neagre bowl of Kasha.'
Some longing well say some longing, kid.
Whatever kasha is. The suspicion is that kasha
has kick to it. That being the case the longing
for it isn't confined to Rose and ka7ha would
bring five a pint when slipped to the Longer"
right here in the U. S. A. where moOnshine finds
a ready market That would be one explanation
of Roses alleged lOngings.
But it is possible that Rose is mistaken about
the longing? Maybe she has something the
matter with her like indigestion or unrequited
love, lack of occupation or something. 1t will be
recalled by those who read Carlyle that he once
thought he had religion and later discovered that
it was stomach trouble.
The chances are that Rose needs exercise.
She isn't really longing to share the lot of her
comrades" She mistakes the symptoms. If she
got up in the morning and got breakfast for one
of the American proletariat who must be on hand
with the seven o'clock whistle, dressed three
children and washed their necks and ears before
school time, did the dishes and cleared up the
sitting room and then got out last years dresses
to see how much of the organdie she could use on
a summer gown, ordered her groceries, gave the
children their lunch at noon and went down to
the meeting Of the ladies' aid from two to four
Just SO my boy with the rules of the long
supper ready at $50, sat on the porch while
after supper and then went to bed before 10 like
a human and one Of the great American people
she'd feel different about the cOnnradeship and
prefer an ice cream cone to a bowl of kasha, what
ever that Russian mess may be. There's nothing
like two or three young ones and a home to keer
up without hired girl to hold the mind off that
longing" to be in Russia raising hell with ar
obscene mob Of mixed ignorance and intelligent
viciousness.
Bowl of kasha nothing. Those bowls Of
kasha sound fine with an ocean between then
and the morning grapefruit, cereal and the res
of good breakfast, breakfast by the way pro
vided to such parlor levines and trotskys as Rost
by the laws of an enlightened freedom. 1t woulC
be interesting to follow Rose after she had he
check for the poem and watch her spend tn
money Don't you believe for an instant that sh
ordered bowl of kasha or bought cotton sox.
There are a lot of Roses, male and female
who 'long" in this country. Most of them 'lOng
for the luxuries of life without labor, for powe
without responsibility, for wage without work
Some Of them are neurOtics, some are fools, som
are lazy and some are keenly and sordidly vicious
Hey, you American proletarian, what's you
order, kasha or roast beef with American frie
potatoes and a piece of pie? How's your "lone
ings."

an eye on the traffic signals. Remember this,
that when you wreck the car you are not the
only sufferer Others suffer. Sometimes the
family dies under the wreckage.
The rules of the road have been growing

they do now, after the recent storm. True the
