tnree or tour years ago a native of the
canyon country is said to have found
the opening. but he did not go in. He
informed Andrew Miller of the approx
mate location and Miller was the one
to put Giddings on the lookout. After
nearly a years search. tiiddings had
the good fortune to stumble onto the
we~ll-concealed entrance and went in
with candles far enough to establish

Adolph Weholt of Great Falls. as

tiOnal forest, in company with several
others Of the forestry people, has made
the majority of researches into the un-

nished most of the definite data rom
corning It's tunneler ramifications. He
is planning at the present time to make
a complete survey, after which it
should be possible to inform more
definitely concerning many of the pas
sages and windings which are mystic
r:ous and uncharted now.
1t is also possible that the additional
research may uncover places even more
beautiful and awe inspiring than are
features of the cave at present. Even
with its present layout. the Lick Creek
cavern can take its place among the

leaving the car on the highway, to

The climb up the ridge from this side

make a drive from the top of the di-
vide, not dropping down on Lick creek,
but %detouring around to the right and
coming in from behind to within half
a mile of the cave, with the climb cut
out of the trip.
Perhaps it will not be long before
the guide books and tourist publications

Local Auto Tourist Camp Ready for 1922

1922 looks like a big eason for the
Great Falls auto tourists camp. Be
cause of the particular favor shown
it last season, because of the stimulat-
ed interest all over in travelling by
automobile, the Great Falls camp will
probably be taxed TO capacity by mid
season.
The tourist traffic by car to Glacier
park was not as heavy in 1921 as to
Yellowstone and it is thought that
many more will visit the northern
playground this season. There also
! seems to be increased desire on the
part of tourists to go to Banff, Alta,
and the Canadian lake country. The
Montana route to that region passes
through Great Falls. 1t is therefore
logical that the Great Falls camp will
have the advantage o. much northern
traffic.
The city grounds are divided into
two parts, an open grassy plot on the
east side of the road and the well
shaded and spacious section bordering
the river.
The camp is the creation of the com-
mercial club and the merchants associ-
alton. 1t was started for the first time
in the spring of 1921 and, according to
remarks made by many tourists who
passed through Great Falls last year
and those who have visited thus far
this season, it is the best camp in Mon
tana.
1t is estimated that 1000 automobiles
parked at the camp during last season,
which, averaging four persons to the
car, would mean 5000 people. Several
cities in Montana have judged that the
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-18

has the best camp grounds for auto
tourists in Montana"
People evidently do not forget the
treatment they receive in a town and
they advise others where to go. These
the city with the good tourist park is
the city which will live long on the
travelled highways. Cities actually pros
per off such camps, because necessary
supplies must be purchased in each
town.
On the open space of the Great Falls
camp at the north end are the kitchen,
three luncheon houses and service sta
tons. All buildings are constructed
with ~overhanging roofs, thus giving the
appearance of Italian villas. They are
screened on all sides and kept SAM
tary by the custodian of the park. with
the assistance Of the visiting tourists.
Large waste ans are distributed over
the grounds and campers AVE found it
convenient to use them for garbage and
papers.
The kitchen equipment includes Is
gas burners and two ovens. These are
one side Of the house. and a utensil
bench stretches the length of the other
side. There are two fawcets in the
building. The screened sides and avn
ing make it an open air kitchen. which
is always appreciated by tourists.
Crates are built into the ground for
those who prefer a wood fire.
The luncheon houses were original in
Great Falls and many campers say they
are the first seen anywhere. The four
sides of the huts ar screened to keep
out insects. Within, a wide table and

torial; and though in the end his course
proved effective and satisfactory. it
led TO settlement through precisely
such a compromise as many are nov
inclined TO condemn in advance.
In April. 1902. the miners demanded
shorter hours, better pay, and recogni-
ton of their union, all of which the
operators refused. The miners then
proposed but the operators refused
arbitration: and repeated efforts by
the National Civic Federation aggrs-
waited rather than ameliorated the
trouble.
Early in May a general strike be-
gan. but not until a month later. when
the mines began TO be flooded and the
distress of famine prevailed in that
region, did the president attempt to
effect a settlement. His proposal Of
arbitration was rejected, whereupon he
contsnted himself with directing his
commissioner Of labor to investigate
and report upon the general conditions
of the mining industry. The fight to
a finish went on, with much arson.
dynamiting. rioting and loss of life.
Thousands of state troops were sent
TO the field, and demands were made
upon the president Thy the mine OPP
eratorsi for federal troops, which he
refused.
AT the beginning of October. five
months after the beginning of the
strike, when the price of coal had risen
five or six fold and the public faced
winter weather with empty bins. the
president again called the leaders Of
both sides into conference at the White
House, but again without avail. But
ten days later. through the co-opera-
ton of Mr.. J. p. Morgan. who had re-
turned from Europe. President Roose-
welt got both sides to submit to arbi.
t~ration. pending the result Of which
the miners immediately returned to
work. more than five months after the
beginning of the strike.
More than five months later still
the arbitrators made their report, ex-
actly splitting the difference be-
tween the demands of the miners and
the contentious of the operators: a
compromise which was Loyalty accept
I'd by both sides and which remained
in force for nineteen years, until the
present spring. Such was the pre-
set for presidential interven-
ton at this time.-Willis Fletcher

view.

Atmosphere is very important to
many diners out and according to over
heard conversations, napkins and ia

lights, music, flowers and silver are
more important than food.
Many persons who dine in public

than they would be in their W homes

the latter are aware of the truth of

an observation, for many who
dine out alone find their recreation in
watching and studying their fellow

fresh. cool air circulating through all
the passages, which would indicate the
! presence Of another entrance to the
cave somewhere, probably at a lower
level, since the lower passages are as
well ventilated as those nearly 100 feet
above. 1t is probable that further in
yestigation will disclose the location
of this. although there is no inkling as
to where it might be. Its discovery
might be FASTENED by the introduction
of machinery such as is used in mines
to trace air currents.

Comparatively little water is found
throughout the cave. Most of it is
thought TO come from a epa which
is permanent. This can be established
later IN the season when the snow has
gone In many places the ceiling is
beaded with tiny clinging drops of wa
ter and the walls are damp, but there
is not much dropping, nor are there
puddles collected along the way.

investment of $4,000 for the merchants

This number of visitors may be CON

through the southern part of the state.
When the proposed % miles through
the southern end of Glacier park. from

which includes Great Falls. is the one

Tourists advise each other which
route is best and which cities to rely

found iii the greater variety of food
that is now p~rocurable, he stated.
We are becoming a fruit eating ma
( ton, in the opinion of the proprietor,
who said that almost everyone makes
it a point to eat some kind of fruit at
every meal. More vegetables and less
meat are eaten than formerly, which
may be accounted for from two points
of view. One is economic and the 9th
err is that there is a growing fondness
for vegetables in preference to a meat
dinner. This was given as an accumu-
lation of observations that have COW
cred a period Of several years.
DO men eat much salad?" asked
the investigator.
Not as much as women. If they do
eat it they prefer a plain vegetable
salad or cottage cheese. Most men
think il a waste of time to mix fruit
and nuts and celery and lettuce to-
getber. They ask why good food
should be spoiled in this way. But the
women love it and in the warmer
months many of them practically live
on salad" was the answer.
Men drink more milk and more but
termilk than women, probably, he said,
but remarked that he thought the di-
slight. Coffee remains the
most popular beverage, but many of its
devotees have swung over to a milk
drinking program. Black tea holds its
own for the dinner hour and as many
men drink it as women, was the en-
l~ightenment given on this matter.
Mems checks at the cafeteria are
almost invariably larger than women's,
the proprietor stated.
Regular Lunch Habits
At another eating establishing nt
where many Of the patrons of the
luncheon hour are regular customers
the student of human nature can learn
many things by observation. For in
stance he can watch the mattresses as
they note the different people coming
in. Often they are served as 0 0 as
they are seated. Their eating habits
are so well known that there is no ne
for asking what they wish. 1t
is not for the same thing
to be ordered day after day. Toast
and eggs, pie and cake customers are
particularly easy to keep cases on. If
a man orders apple pie today and to-
it's q fairly safe bet that ap-
pie is his favorite pie and that he will
remain true to it, resisting steadfastly
the lure of %cocoanut and banana cream,
lemon or any meringue pie. He may

up. Neither e%xpedient is particularly
easy. Almost directly under this pas
sage is a lower level tunnel which leads
back under the higher passage and
takes one into the vicinity of the lower
Pit"
Most of the estimates regarding the
Rain Room" are vague. 1t is so
large. probably from 200 to 300 feet
wide and about 400 feet long, that it is
not possible to see all the walls at one
time with ordinary lights. 1t required
the combined focusing of six carbide
lamps to show the ceiling. 80 feet up
through black space. The room gets
its name from the continual drip Of
water which is splashing from the
ceiling down onto the irregular rock
floor.
In the middle of this huge room,
comparatively little of which has been
adequately explored as yet, is a mound
of beautiful crystal rock which rises
to n height Of IS feet. This is really
a hill and looks as though it had been
taken in it's entirety and deposited
there. Because of this mound. il is
not possible to see but a small portion
of the room at one time. The larger
part of the chamber is over behind and
to the right of the mound. Members
of a recent exploring party claim to
have found an additional large reom
beyond the limits of the Rain Room
but were unable TO establish any data
it for lack of time.

What Great Falls Orders
To Eat i'm Public and Why

I re SAT at the lunch counter Be
fore him was a dainty lettuce
sandwich. At his elbow was q
glass of milk. He was fastidious in the
use of his paper napkin, His hands
were well manicured. He did not
sprawl. He seemed to be enjoying
himself.
At his right sat a robust fellow,
talking loudl. while he waited for his
order. His face was red. His wool
Jersey sweater seemed TO be choking
him. He gesticulated with one i'll kept
hand. His order-hot cakes, a double
stack; sausage. W fried eggs n a
cup of coffee-arrived. "Ah," he
breathed, Struggling his shoulders pre-
paratory to the attack. He took his
first bite. 1t was a fourth of three
hot cakes, which was crammed into his
mouth and then reinforced with half a
cake of sausage. His cheeks bulged.
Throughout this demonstration of gym
nastic ~gastronomy, he still managed to
talk.
Over the face of the man with the
lettuce sandwich came an expression
Of agony. Leaving the remaining half
Of his sandwich and the glass of milk
untouched, Ne turned hastily from the
counter. paid his check and departed.
Fellow doesn't seem to have much
appetite. Never could see how q man
could live on that kind of truck any
way. Takes food to keep a real man
going" The robust one became con-
versational through the barricade of
another quarter of three hot cakes, lub-
ricated with a mouthful Of coffee, au-
dibly imbibed.
What an Incident Did
And thereby hangs a tale. The incl
der: was interesting enough TO start
an Investigation of what is considered,
by some, the main business of life"
do many men react to a little
scene like that as the fellow with the
sandwich did?' The question was put
to the waitress.
Men are becoming more finicky ev-
cry day, though there are still a lot of
the others left and we can spot them q
mile away" the girl replied. They
always think that a man who can't
store away a large beefsteak, five or
six slices of bread, about three cups of
coffee, half a kettle full of potatoes
and a big piece Of pie is a sister. They |
always hand it to themselves and. be-
tween or likely mixed in with bites,
they tell the world that it amt pos
sible for a man to do his best work
unless be eats" There vas evidence
