Fish Dealers Declare
Freight Rates Too High

Conferences on the fish situation,
which ended yesterday at the De-
partment of Commerce, emphasized
the necessity for lower freight
rates to bring about increased fish
consumption and lower cost OF liv-
ing.
The report of the transportation
committee states: "The existing
level of rates, both railroad and
express, on fish products is so high
,as in great measure to prevent
shipments and consumption of fish
products. For the longer hauls the
transportation charges are greater
than the product would bring in
the markets. In connection with
the general policy of the admins.
tration to bring about reductions
in transportation charges we espe-
cially urge a consideration of the
rates on fish products

EAST AND WEST MERGE.
SAYS HEAD OF sHRINERS.

EAST AND WEST MERGE,
SAYS HEAD OF SHRINERS.
East is East and West is West"
wrote Kipling some years ago, who
further insisted that a meeting Of
the two would be rather difficult
However, with reference to Ameri-
can life. according to e. L. Garrett
son.. of Tacoma. WASH, "the twain"
have almost met and soon there
will be no distinctive East and West
except geographically.
The spirit and customs of the
East have permeated the West to
the New, Willard, that 1t is in
where the West begins"
You mean that those manifesto
tions of an inward, spiritual war with
that caused the poet Of other days
TO know just where the West began
have disappeared?" Garretson was
questioned.
NO" he replied; they are not
entirely a matter of history, but
are becoming so. 1t Is true that the
farther West you go the 'Wester' it
gets. But you have to go very near
the Pacific Coast before you feel
unmistakably the spirit Of the West
as differentiated from that Of the
East"
SAYS POTENTATE TITLE
DOESN'T SOUND DEMOCRATIC.
Mr.. Garretson, who is known in
Masonic circles as the imperial po-
tentate of the Ancient Arabic Order,
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine of North
America, did not seem to get the
same exhilaration and joy from this
appellation as his interviewer. who
found it contained glorious words
to excite the imagination. Gar
retson, however, with that engaging
modesty and simplicity so often
characteristic of the eminent, said
that he would much prefer a less
ostentatious title and had suggested
that this be simplified, but the con-
sensus OF opinion was to retain the
honorary relic.
The words imperial potentate'
don't seem exactly at home in the
present democratic atmosphere OF
the world" he added with a humor-
Gus sparkle in his eyes.
DECLARES TOO MANY ARE
- nv" ~ Do
Mr.. Garretson declares that there
are too many people trying to say
something about public questions
and issues, resulting. therefore. in
a great number of divergent, half
informed views which are of little
or no value.
THE only gam from sucl express

better such a course would be for
the general good! Too many pc 5pIe

that Washington is the most prom

engineer saw nothing in his way

This change from uleNitc 20 cole

take place, whereas the direct sep

LYDlANs HAD D !. FIRST COINAGE NJ
Treasure sDeposited in the Temples
Was impressed With Badge o.
Il Symbol OF Divinity.

So far as is known, the Lydians,
says Herodotus, first introduced gold
and silver coin. The invention was
not far to seek. Treasure came to be
deposited for safety in the temples,
where It was cOnsecrated to the. care
OF the divinity by being impressed with
a badge or symbol The sacred SYM
Dol being accepted as guarantee of
value, the pieces Of metal SO impressed
found easy circulation. The earliest
Lydtan coins extant, deriving, probably
from the reign Of Gyges (about 700 B.
c., are bean-shaped Jumps Of native
Lydian gold, .blenched with silver.
Each coin bears on its diverse the
figure of lion and on its reverse the
impress Of the nail-head serving to
keep the metal in place, while being
struck. From Lydia the one-sided coin
spread throughout the coasts and is
lands of the Aegean sea, each city is
suing coins bearing the symbol Of it's
divinity. In Greece the earliest coins
Of silver, with the figure Of the tor
toise on the diverse, are said to have
been struck by Pheidon Of Argos. To
Scion, about 500 B. c., Is ascribed the
introduction into Athens of the tetra-
drachm, on its diverse the head Of
Athene, on its reverse an owl. Sparta
enjoyed all to itself the luxury Of a.
purely iron coinage. The Greek coins
from 4SO to 800 B. G. marked a great
advancement in the way of art, and
Anthenian money was the chief medi-
UNI Of exchange during this period.
Other nations later adopted their own
coinage, which has continued to i'm
prove with the advance of civilization.

Credit Belongs to Franklin.

t Everybody knows that the versatile
Franklin was the originator of many
things. But few realize that he was
the, first American cartoonist. ''Join
or Die" the familiar sketch of the
chopped-up serpent, with each piece
representing one Of the Colonies, was
entirely the work of Franklin. Even
the cutting of the type-metal was
done by his own hands. This first
newspaper cartoon appeared in the
Pennsylvania Gazette, May 9, 1854,
and was device for urging united
action upon the Colonies at the time
Of the French and Indian wars. It
may be noted also that he engraved a
map of the siege of Louisburg and
published it in the Gazette. This is
said to have been the earliest attempt
at illustrating news.-Asa Don Dickin-

relating that each of the eight organ

100 shares of stock, which has a par
value of 500.
The total authorized capitalization
of the company is 100000. The or

STRIKE OIL ON FOWLER
DOME AT 500 FEET

Drilling in the Colorado shale at
a depth of about 500 feet, oil, esti-
mated at five barrels a day was en-
countered and a strong flow of gas,
sufficient to run the rig.
This encouraging news was received
over the telephone yesterday by W.
B. Saunders, consulting engineer of
the company operating in the new
field. Mr.. Saunders and other Helena
men interested, were much elated by
the report.
At a depth of 500 feet a we'll which
will steadily produce five barrels a
day is considered commercially prof
table. The company however, will
continue on to the lower depths, ex-
pecting to find heavy production in
the kootenai sands at 1900 to 1900
feet.
Encountering of oil at 500 fet bears
out exactly what G%eologist R. H.
Ewart predicted. The we'll which has
used 1912 inch casing up to date will
be continued with 10-inch casing and
the gas now flowing from the well
will be diverted to the force and boiler
of the drilling outfit.
A. NJ. Barringer is in charge of
the drilling.
