STREET WILL BE GRADED

There is no doubt about the value of the
Seventh avenue north roadway to the city of
1t is the principle highway for en-
trance to the city, over which there is more travel
than any other street or road in the county. The
necessity of improving the present condition of
the road is not questioned by anyone, the only
obstacle so far in the way of doing so being the
cost. This is the all important item and is one
to be given careful consideration.
The Bozeman Chamber of Commerce, Rotary,
and Kiwanis clubs have devoted considerable
time and effort, though their joint committee, to
get all the details needed in the matter of sur
facing cost and other expense to be incurred in
bringing about an improved condition for travel.
Federal aid has been assured for the work, which
amounts to a little over one mile of road %constru-
ction with a cost of approximately $500.
The property owners AUDITING the roadway
are willing to help in so far as their circumstances
will permit, but they cannot be expected to stand
the entire cost. The business men of the city
are in favor of constructing the roadway and
they are willing that the cost shall be born in
proportionate amounts by the entire city. The
city Commissioners as individuals have expressed
approval of constructing the road. 1t remains
only that the matter be brought to them in ar
official way and they will proceed.
The Commissioners will meet on Thursday
afternoon, and if a committee representing the
citizens of Bozeman will meet with them, pre-
senting the matter in such manner as can bt
considered by the Commissioners as authentic
they will proceed with the proper course to d.
their part in bringing about the improvement
The work should be done at the earliest possiblt
moment.

THE PRIMARY LAW

Continued effort is being made, by those
opposed to a primary election law, to create a
sentiment in favor of the measure drafted and
to those who met in Helena some time
ago. AT the meeting there were some 80 men
present from various parts of the state, although
the call had been sent out with urgent request
that delegates be sent from every county in the
state. u
The number of those present at the meet
ing, and some who were there did not favor re-
pealing the primary law, was so small it cannot
be considered to represent the thought of the
state. If it is to be considered as such, it demon
strates clearly the little interest taken by the
great majority of the people in Montana in a
movement to repeal the present primary law.
The measure submitted, which will be pre-
sented to the voters at the election this fall, does
not improve the situation in the least in so far
as the voter is considered. 1t simply goes back
to the old convention system Of nominating
candidates for office. Any argument made
against the present primary law, in so far as a
lack of interest or small percentage of voters
attending primary elections under the present
system, is an argument against the proposed
new measure.
The contention that the new measure pro-
tects the voter in the precinct primaries, has no
value. There is nothing the voter needs pro-
lection from, except his own disinterestednes
in who shall be the candidate for election. Bos-
sism is not a condition of fact SO much as it is
Z state Of mind. The voter is too willing to leave
ID others, that which he should do himself. He
will be Just as lax about attending a precinct
caucus or primary, as it is designated in the pro
posed measure, as he is now about attending Z
!, primary election. This will, leave the selection
Of delegates to a small number, much smaller
E h1 percentage than the present primary elections
E and will give to a few men the freedom to select
$ candidates which the primary law prevents.
The trouble is not with the primary law, i
] is with the voter. To correct the evils claimed tx
e exist now in the primary law, amendments cal
be made doing away with them.

augurated. One was the introduc-
ton of the money order system, and
the other was an agreement with for
eign nations for a systematic and
equitable handling of international
mail. Both of these departments have
become a very important part of the
postal service today.
The postmaster general traced the
development of the mail transporter
ton from the time of the dispatch
bearer 600 years B. C. to the present
day with the modern railway car, the
auto delivery wagon and the aero
plane. When Benjamin Franklin was
made first postmaster general there
were only % postoffices in this Oun
try and the average days progress Of
a letter was between 80 and 90 miles.
Franklin received a salary of $1,000
a year, and the total postal revenues
amounted to only a few thousand dol
lars. Today approximately one-half
Of tn centre number of governmental
employees are in the postal service

HARD TO COUNTERFEIT
DESIGN NEW PERMIT

WASHINGTON, June with a
view of eliminating one of the most
difficult problems of prohibition en-
forcement, the office of the prohibl-
ton commissioner has designed new
withdrawal permits and physicians
prescription blanks. The new with
drawal permits r printed on espe-
cially made, sensitized water-marked
paper and printed from an engraved
plate. They will bear the water
mark seal of the treasury department
and the word Prohibition" will be
water-marked in each permit. AS
still further protection the prohibi-
ton commissioners office has had
made for it's especial use a machine
which resembles a bank check pro-
tector. With this machine the amount
of liquor authorized to be withdrawn
is cut in the permit in a manner SIM
liar to that which banks use on
checks to prevent their being raised.
This, it is believed, will absolutely
stop the practice which has been very
common, namely, that of raising the
figures On withdrawal permits after
they have been issued. The new ply
sicians' prescription blank is also
water-marked, and they make it nee.
essary for the physician to fill in the
name and address of the druggist who
viii fill the prescription. Hereto.
ore persons obtaining physicians
descriptions have been at liberty Il
rave them filled wherever they
I~lease, which has permitted certain
druggists to engage in illicit traffi
in liquor.

/. The flag should fly from a staff
whenever possible. When the ma
tional, state, or other flags fly to-
gether, the national flag should be on
the right.
2. When the flag is used for ddec-
orative purposes, it should always be
hung straight, with the blue field to
the north or east, whether on the in
side or outside of buildings.
3. The flag should never be used
as a for a table, box or desk,
but may be used as a covering for a
pulpit, and nothing should rest on it,
unless it be a Bible. The flag
should never be struck with a gavel.
1t should never be below a person
sitting.
5. 1t should always be carried up
right, and never in any a S allowed
to touch the ground.
g.. When raised at half mast, it
should be raised to full staff, then
lowered to half mast. When placed
over a casket, the blue field should be
at the head.
z. No advertisements or lettering
of any sort should ever be placed
upon the flag nor should it ever be
used as a trademark. It should not
be worn as the whole or part of a
costume.
8. Burn faded and worn-out flags
with great respect, and when possible
replace them with new ones
g.. When the national colors are
passing on parade, the spectators
should, when walking, halt; if sitting
stand at attention.
, 10. Salute the flag. When the
American flag approaches you in g
parade-no matter what kind of 9
parade-stop, face the center of the
2 street, remove your hat with your
right hand, hold it up to your left
breast, and remain m~otionless till tn,
flag has passed. If you are a wo
man, raise your right hand to tn,
g brim of your hat and hold it there
palm outward. This is the prescribe'
form of salute.
H.. Whenever 'The Star-Spangle,
Banner" is played, OF sung, all per
sons within hearing should arise an,
stand during its rendition. Me-
: should remove their hats.

WASTE WOOD USED TO
MAKE GRAIN ALCOHOL.

That it is quite possible to make
grain alcohol from wood waste is
shown in a bulletin written by F. W.
Kressman, of the. Forest Products
Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, and
just issued by the Department of
Agriculture. The name of this new
publication is "The Manufacture of
Ethyl Alcohol from Wood Waste"
1t may be obtained by application to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington, D. c., by call
ing for Bulletin 983.
The making of ethyl alcohol from
such things as straw. cotton, wood
and many other plant fibres is not at
all new, but previously, except in very
few instances. it had not been posi-
Bile to profitably use these materials.
There is wasted annually, govern
ment experts estimate, some Is to 20
million tons of wood suitable for the
manufacture of ethyl alcohol and ca
pable of yielding around 10 gallons
Of alcohol to the ton.

BOYS AND GIRLS CAMPS

There are 1863 boys and girls camps in
Maine with an enrolment the present
year of $500, according to the census
completed by the st tie of Maine Publicity
Bureau. These camps are open during
July and August and during the past few
years have been growing very rapidly,
the increase this year being nearly 80 per
cent over that of the previous year. These
figures were taken from the records of
the transportation companies and con-
sequenty are correct, as they were the
actual number of children carried by the
railroad Few realize the extent of this
business as the camps usually are located
on the shores of some lake and in some
secluded spot away from the main travel
ed highways and railroads. The Publicity
Bureau estimates this business amounts
to between $4,000, 900 and S4, 900, ,0OO an
nually. Including children, teachers,
coun, ellors and employees there must be
10000 people quartered in these camps
during the summer, as one camp alone
had a comb ned total of $50. While the
great majority of these camps are located
in the Southwestern section of the S ate,
the present tendency seems to be to 60
further east, as some of the later camp
have been located in Piscataquis and
Washington counties.

age under 6 per cent for the % months is

the act did not guarantee the return.
Reduction in operating expenses is be-

nature and reduction in freight rates re

weathered two and one third years of the
most trying days of readjustment, and in
spite Of business depression it has so sus-
tanned railroad credit as to prevent the
financial disaster which would have re
suited if railroad failures and receiver
ship had accrued. The railroads, as an
instrumentality for transportation, have
b en- preserved and improved The net
earnings are moving upward as the oper-
ating costs are being lowered. This will
be accelerated as the increase in business
shall increase the freight and passen
revenues. Capital for additions and bet
terments can now be obtained. We thus
have the safe and secure basis for con-
tinued reduction in freight rates.
