MONTANA ONCE WAS A TROPlG JUNGLE AND

ment plants near Three Forks, Lew
istown and elsewhere are in opera
ton, and many others will be con-
structed. Great beds of gypsum are
known in Central Montana, and at
Great Falls there is a plant turning
out a fine grade of plaster. Graphite
has been found in various localities
in southern Montana in commercial
quantities, which is of fine quality.
Foundry sands are found in many To-
| calities.
Hot springs and mineral waters of
therapeutic value are plentiful in the
central and western section of the
state. Several of these have been
developed into popular resorts with
modern hotels.
Although the mentioned
above are important, they pale into
insignificance when compared with
the metallic of the state.
The gold, silver, and copper mines
of Montana have not only been prime
factors in the growth of the state,

wolves an appreciation of the develop
ment of it's metallic wealth.
The Montana pioneers who fol
lowed the fur traders were inspired
mainly by a desire for gold. Noun
tain ranges were climbed, streams
forded, Indians were fought, death
in many forms was faced, all in pur-
suit of gold. And gold was found
in plenty. Bannack and Virginia
City, Last Chance and Blackfoot City,
Bear Gulch and other camps, all in
terwoven with the early history of
Montana, were centers of the gold
diggers and yielded them many mil
lions of dollars.
In later years, after the cream had
been skinned from the placer work
ings, the miners began to devote their
attention to the quartz mines. Ma
chfnery was hauled in by bull teams,
stamp mills and chlorination mills
were erected and a new stage in the
mining development of Montana be-
gan. Agriculture was a natural Sc
quence to mining activity, and the
country began to have settlements in
of the mining camps, al
though at first these were principally
by the live stock industry.
The railroads furnished cheap
er and better transportation for the
quartz mines, which increased their |
activity and made it possible to mine

The Legion and Politics

rTuEN the American Legion was organized fol
w lowing the great war, IT was made very pihm
thar the organization, as an association, would not
enter into politics TO obtain any ends II might nave
in view. II would present its case to the people anu
the peoples duly constituted representatives ana
abide the decision. State organizations were iorlheu
nroclaiming the some policies. So far as known
this course of action has been adhered 10 consist
entity. 1t was only last week at the Torrington con-
vention that the Wyoming contingent adopted ring
ing resolutions r~caffirming the established ruie.
For the past year it has been an open secret IN
wyoming as it was the previous year that one
.Redy Hill. commissioner of immigration under the
Carey administration was making 1t nus soie pusl.
ness TO line up the legion members in the interest
of the Carey second term as governor. Inc mml'
grafton business was merely incidental. Inc reai
business of that department was TO look out Tor the
Carey political interests. How well "hed sue
ceeded is shown in results at Torrington-
The boys on the way to the convention iast
week, and it mattered not what section OF the state
they came from, had one primary object III view,
namely and to-wit: to chip n piece of ivory off the
dome of Red" Hill. The war cry was heard at Chey-
enne long before the convention assembled ana the
faithful Red took counsel of wisdom and remain
ed away from the gathering. So did his chief, the
governor. The legionnaires. were not going to per
nit their organization to be drawn INTO factionai
politics, at least not in the interest OF a candidate
who declined a commission to serve his country
upon the subterfuge that his family would suffer
and that he would best serve his country by re-
naming at Careyhurst and growing turnips and
bull beef at wartime prices. This from a member
of one of the wealthies families in the state, ideally
situated to go ito war, but for one reason only
a broad yellow streak.
This is the gu5ernatorial candidate who attempts
to curry political favor with a non!pohtlcai or,
ganization by reminding its members by personal
letter that he has appointed several legionnaires
to minor offices in his administration. He ap.
pointed them because they were legionnaires and
for no other reason. But in spite of that fact, the
appointees proved eminently qualified, and are
making excellent officials in their several capac-
tiles. The governor can claim no credit on that
aoaun .haconca his mntiyp was nnrply nOlIflcal
and purely selfish as his letter to the legion men
clearly indicates.
So, poor old "Red' Hill is in eclipse and his main
occupation is gone. All that remains for him to
do since Torrington is to assist the governor off
and on with his top coat and polish the governors
shoes.

a Vital Problem

IMPORTANT though those problems may be, set.
L Element of coal and railroad strike difficulties
should not be permitted to detract public attention
from other matters vitality affecting the future Of
the United States and it's industries. Labor con
troversies are ordinarily of brief duration, and uu-
doubtedly, settlements will finally be reached on a
basis of practical justice to all concerned. Serious
though they may be, the embarrassment these con
troversies present are temporary. OF no less inn
mediate Importance and of far more concern to the
nation in the course of years is the merchant ma.
rine problem.
1t is necessary to mention only a few of the fun.
damental reasons, why the United States should
have "A merchant marine adequate for the hand
ling of a due proportion of our foreign trade. We
learned in the war with Spain and during the re-
cent war with Europe that it is vitally important
for a nation to have a merchant fleet upon which
to rely for transportation of munitions aud troops
in case of war. Fortunately in 10th of the instances
mentioned, the United States was able to secure
from other nations most of the shipping necessary
to convey its soldiers and military supplies. Since
it can not be certain that such an arrangement
would always be possible, there can be no disput-
ing the assertion that there should be subject to
the call of the American government, a permanent
fleet of first class steamships and men trained in
seamanship adequate for any emergency that may
arise. The folly of appropriateness in this respect
was readily recognized and admitted by all the
American people in 1898 and again in 1917.
But independence of other nations in carrying
troops and military supplies is scarcely more i'm
p~ortant than Independence in carrying our foreign
commerce. There is much force in the remark by
one eminent authority on shipping that no retail
merchant would leave to his rivals the delivery Of
his goods. Yet that is practically what the indus.
trial United States is doing when it fails to main.
tain a merchant marine. A merchant marine prop
erly organized and managed is a discoverer of new
markets. developer of trade. If that fleet be op.
Grated under flags of other nations it will seek mar,
kets for the products of those countries and seek
new buyers for their commodities. If under the
American flag, a similar service will be rendered
for American producers.
Moreover, the operation of an ocean carrying
service means the payment of wages to American
seamen, the purchase of fuel and supplies in Amer
lean markets, the construction of ships in Amer.
lean yards, the making of repairs in American dry
docks, the payment of premiums to American ma
rine insurance companies and the retention of
freight charges in American business circles.

about.
He recalled that in 1915 the tau levy was 2s5

80 per cent. Can it be justified?

Why Changer

IRuE enough, why? Change always for the bet
ter. 1t seems to be sense TO do this. Where you
find a servant or an employe that does not know;
that has limitations and cannot grow into his job?
Why then attempt to go ahead with help Of this
kind? 1t is better to change and change quickly.
III good business management cannot be demon
strated in four years, it is little use to try the same
management for another four years. That sort Of
thing comes under this head of foolishness. The
people of Wyoming know efficient business man
agement and they know when n sincere effort is
put forward for economy. They have failed to rec
ognize either in the present Carey state administers
ton. They can extract no comfort from a situation
alone of S2o5,904 or more than a quarter of n mil
lion dollars i'll one brief administration period.
This sort of management does not go very far to con-
vince taxpayers that the Utopia of a taxless state
is anywhere near at hand.
1t is not a question of return to control by spe-
cial interests, it is rather a question of continuing
control by Carey interests. The Careys have had a
great deal mere than their Just due from Wyo.
ming. 1t is high time the hand of greed was re.
moved TO permit real and natural progress to have
its way.
! 1t is Wyoming progress, Casper progress that the
enterprise and business activity. Not Carey prog.
ress that means reaping the benefits created by
others without undertaking any of the RESPONSE
bilities.
If Mr.. Carey rests his case upon his four-year
record as governora nd asks reelection on that
basis, he must show something better than in
creased state expenses and increased taxes upon
the people in times like the present, when dollars
are elusive.
Beseeching the minor political divisions Of the
state TO economic and cut expenses while knock
ing the hinges off the states strong box himself is
the bunk. The teaching of consistent economy is by
example. 1t must start in the high places.

Wyoming Union Miners

DY that has occurred in Wyoming
ID since April first, you would never know that a
coal strike was in progress, and that not a shovel
full of coal has been mined in any of the big mines
in the worlds greatest coal field. Not the slight
est disturbance has arisen to mar the peace, dig
nifty and orderliness of the several communities in
which the mines are located and the miners have
their homes.
This condition speaks volumes for these workers.
1t places this branch of organized labor on a diff.
ferent plane and challenges the respect of the pub
lie in view of what happens elsewhere Not that
any untoward incident was expected on the part
of Wyoming miners, but where such numbers are
involved you cannot always count on the behavior
of everybody. 1t sometimes happens that groups
and small numbers break away and do things the
whole organization and its officers and leaders do
not approve. Nothing of this character has &C.
Cured in Wyoming since April first. The United
Mine Workers have set an example in good citizen
ship and observance of law and community inter
est, that will gain them public sympathy in any ef-
fort they are engaged to further their welfare.
They have stood firmly by their local and ma
tional organizations have scrupulously refrained
from creating strife or molesting property. They
have by their franchise subscribed to the national
policy, for what they deem their due and there
they rest. Their interests are in the hands of COM
petent and honest men of the district and until
the superior officers relax in attitude the local
units will remain firm.
Calling of conferences on the part of the gov
ernor, among operators and miners representa-
tives, when he knows, if he knows anything, the ex-
act situation of the mine workers with reference
to arriving at any understanding apart from the
national organization, is simply for gallery effect.
