to draw my pen through it and write
again. but thought / could not do
better than first Impressions
Regrets He Hadn't a Camera
But he tells us that he wished for
the pen of Salvador Rosa or a Thomp-
son in order to give to the "euasss.
ened world se-ae idea Of this truly
magnificent and sublimely grand object
which has from the commencement 1t
time been concealed from the view of
civilized man. He regretted ~poignantly
that he had not brought a 'crimea'
(camera) to photograph the waterfall
which he was confident was second to
but n in the known world"
While waiting for Clark, for whom
he sent a messenger, Lewis and his
men camped near the falls and dined
on trout caught therefrom. These
were is to % inches in length, he
says. He describes the species of bear
Astounding in the country while he is
waiting and writes-There is no such
animal as a black bear"
On June ID. still waiting for Clark
and his men, Lewis took his rifle and
proceeded up the river. 1t was on this
day that he discovered Rainbow falls.
Which of the two falls was the more
beautiful, he could not decide. so he
said Of the Great falls. TT is sublimely
grand and of the Rainbow, "It is
pleasingly beautiful"
Land of Enchantment
It was on this day he had so many
strange adventures, having a fight with
a big white bear, being chased by a
buffalo and other adventures, that he
said had it not been for the conscious
ness of the prickly pear piercing his
feet. he would have thought he was
dreaming of a land of enchantnaent."
This journal of the great explorers
has to be read to be appreciated. 1t is
Nhe original history of Great Falls and
of the surrounding country and, az
such, is fascinating, both as a descrip-
ton and as the story of the great work
of two great men.
Today the Great Falls Commercial
club will establish markers at both
Great falls and Rainbow falls. These
will be large road signs and will tell
the traveller, who gazes to marvel at the
beauty of the falls. the essential facts
of their discovery. Captain Lewis could
not have foretold this event III years
tut he did hint that the falls
would become one of the wonders Of
the west that would attract the lover
of beauty from all parts of the world.

Montana Mosquitoes
Worse'n Florida's.
Says Motor Tourist

"Do you have anything else here
but mosquitos?" asked q visitor
at the tourist camp, as she was
trying to scratch her arms and legs
at the same time. I'VE have 'em
in Florida when the wind blows
from the everglades about once a
month-but nothing like here"
At the same time, Travelling
Mutt, a burnt colored terrier, was
knotting his spinal column on a
tent peg. IF the river weren't so
high, we'd all 60 in swimming and
escape the pesky pests" she ex-
planned for Nuts actions.
Travelling Mutt has been half
way around the world, and. knows
every inch of the Bahama Islands.
Although small and insignificant
and quite friendly, Mutt keeps
good guard over his mistress, while
her husband, William D. Berde-
man of Miami, and her friend,
Martin Zimmerman of Philadelphia,
Penn, are doing the shopping up
town.

in those days as simple as slaughterins

present time.
At this juncture the party divided
for exploration of the two streams
Lewis explored what is now known as
the Teton river. He chose this route,
as he says Clark was the best river
man. He records on his trip the dis
covery of Tower mountain, now known
as the Three Buttes of the Sweetgrass
hills. The captain quantity describes a
meal made on gOphers. .
Maria's River
The trip up the Teton was finally
abandoned and the party made their
way back to the appointed meeting
place to join Clark. The journey was
attempted by raft but wal too hazard
GUS and after a night in the open,
which it was said had mo allurements,'
it was continued on foot. Lewis tells
of his own narrow escape from falling
into the river from a 80 foot precipice
and of the narrower escape of one of
his men.
Convinced that the river was not the
Missouri, but feeling that it was
destined to play q great part in the
history of Great Britain and America,
Lewis named it Maria's river after
his niece.
That the two joint explorers worked
at harmony in all things is indicated
in their journals where the co-opera-
ton that existed between them and the
reliance they placed in their men show
that they were at n in their common
in~terest--the discovery of the Mis-
souri, proper.
The party again divided and Lewis
began his ascent of the Missouri as his
discovery of the Big Falls afterward
proved.
Falls Spray First Seen
From this point of his story onward
to the day of his discovery. Lewis
narrative is of particular interest to
the Great Falls residents, for Lewis
paints a picture of the scenes that
play an everyday part in the life
of people in this city.
On June 13, while out hunting,
Lewis was attracted by the roaring
of water and by the spray, which from
the hill top, where he was wandering,
he could see rising like a column Of
smoke" Even before he could see the
falls he tells us he had a conviction
he had discovered the great falls of
the Missouri.
Hurrying to the edge Of the cliff he
saw what he describes as "the grandest
sight / ever beheld."
He then infinitely and with an in
pen describes the scene that
greeted him. At it's conclusion he mod
estly says, Il was so Disguised with

DEMAND GAINS
FOR CONCRETE
in CITY WORK
Reinforced Paving Is Adapted
to Northwest Conditions,
Says E.. HI. Blakeslee.

Reinforced concrete for paving con
struction is gaining in popularity in
Montana and other states of the Pa
cific northwest where pavements are
subjected to radical climatic changes,
according to e. H. Blakeslee, construc-
ton engineer and bridge contractor,
who returned to his home in Great
Falls Sunday from Glendive where he
is supervising the paving of a part OF
the city for the contracting firm OF
Mcclure and Blakeslee. Mr.. Blakeslee
will leave this afternoon for Helena.
Beyond Experimental Stage
Asked whether concrete for paving
is o more or less of an experiment
generally, Mr.. Blakeslee replied that it
has passed beyond the experimental
stage and has been recognized as stan
dard permanent construction by fed
eral government engineers.
I'm direct competition with all other
types of pavement built in 1921 where
federal aid funds were used, 80 per
cent Of all highways so constructed
were of reinforced concrete" he said.
Particularly on account of its per-
manence and low maintenance expense
in comparison to other types of pave
ment, especially in localities where the
pavement is becoming generally popular
for streets and roads,
OutWears Other Types
Mr.. Blakeslee pointed out that in the
cities of Montana where concrete paw
ing has been tried out it has not only
proved satisfactory, but is outwearing
other types of paving. Among the
cities in the state that have some Of
their streets paved with concrete are
Livingston, Great Falls, Glendive, Deer
Lodge, Lewistown and Butte. In Glen
dive recently the city council, in re-
ceiving competitive bids on different
types of paving, chose concrete because
of their belief in it's permanent adapt.
ability for that locality, he said.

ST.L0U|S HAS
REAL STARS OF
MAJOR LEACUES
BY JOHN d. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, N. Y, Nov. 29.-St.
Louis for the first time will be hon
ored this year by having had most
of the real big performances Of
baseball accomplished by members
of her two major league teams.
George Sisler has such a wide
margin of leadership in the things,
which he excelled in baseball in
1922 that the official figures shortly
to be issued cannot possibly change
the fact that he will occupy a place
alongside Rogers Hornsby in the
National league.
Sisler is sure to be American
league batting champion for 1922
with a figure around AIS. OF
course, Sisler cannot claim the
league home-run record
for the year, but St. Louis will be
able to cheer. nevertheless, because
Williams Of the Browns holds that.
Hornsby won the honor in the Ma
tfOnal league. SO the city alongside
the Mississippi can rejoice again.
AS q purloiner of bases last sea-
son Sisler was miles ahead of his
nearest rival. Sisler made the
largest number of singles last sea
son and he also made more runs
than any other American league
player. According to unofficial fig
lres he made the largest number
ofsthree-baggers. Speaker beat him
n making two-baggers.

RECORDS POINT
TO BEST AMONG
GRID COACHES

Who are the leading football
coaches Of the year?
Bill Roper OF Princeton is de-
serving OF a high rating. The
Tigers won all eight games on their
schedule. defeating Harvard, Yale
and Chicago in the list.
Gil Dobie of Cornell, who has de-
veloped another great team at
Ithaca, is deserving of consiGera-
ton.
Then there is Knute Rockne of
Notre Dame. Having lost a dozen
of his star players of 1921, he took
a green team and nodded it into
one Of the strongest elevens Of the
year.
Andy Smith has met with his
usual success at California. 1t is
second nature for him to win foot
ball honors on the Pacific coast
Fielding Yost at Michigan is hav-
ing one Of his very best years. He
has developed smart, versatile
team at Ann Arbor.
C. W. Spears, former Dartmouth
star. is having a big year at Uni
versity Of West Virginia. His team
is rated as one of the best in the
country.
OF course there are many others
who have far exceeded expectations
but the above are the outstanding
figures in the football world.
