W. A. Bertke, manager of the Great
Falls Gas company since August. 1917,
has resigned that position to 'become
manager of the gas department of the
Southern Illinois Light Il Power com
pany. Mr.. Bertke's new offices will
be in st. Louis. He is succeeded by
+. -. Fletcher. who arrived here We'd
ncsday from Ada. Okla. where he was
general superintendent of the Okla
homa Light & Power company.
Under Mr.. Bertke's management the
business of the Great Falls Gas COM
pany has doubled in five years. In
1916. the company sold 34.OO0.O00
This year there are 3,4O0 patrons. who
will use more than 7O.OOO.O0O cubic
feet of gas. Mr.. Bertke modestly at
tributes this growth of business to the
foresight of w. A. Baehr, president
of the company, who is Il consulting
engineer in Chicago. and who has insti-
uted a most liberal policy for the local
concern financing expansion regardless
of the fact that money for such pur-
poses had to corne from outside
sources. Profits of the local company
are restricted by the Montana public
service commission which provides that
iut warnings SHdli De htII uoNu. uOI
permitting a surplus for re-investment
in the company's properties.
President of Commercial Club
During 1921. Mr.. Bertke was presi-
lent of the Commercial club and was
instrumental in the establishment of
n tourist park here. the construction
cf which he personally supervised. The
park is one of the most mOdernly
nclrinnol in tha nnrtkurnSf Nv RnrtEo
also has been active in the Rotary club.
With Mrs. Bertke and son Arthur,
he will leave in a few days for Omaha
by automobile. Mrs. Bertke and son.
will visit there while he goes to Chi
cago to meet Mr.. Baehr who is presi-
dent Of the Southern Illinois company.
He will assume his duties in st. Louis
about June II. Before coming to
Great Falls, Mr.. Bertke was manager
of the gas department of the Utah
Power & Light company Of Salt Lake
City. in which Mr.. Baehr is likewise
interested.
Previous to his going to Ada, where
be has been for the last four yeaTA
Mr.. Fletcher was for four years a
member of the engineering staff of
the Illinois state public service com
mission. He was graduated from the
University of Wisconsin in 1913 with
the degree of mechanical engineer.
To Continue Bertke's Policies
The progressive policies instituted
by Mr.. Bertke will be continued by
Mr.. Fletcher who says a public serv-
ice corporation is the communities
servant and should be unsparing in its
service to patrons.
The Great Falls Gas is
equipped to produce gas exclusively
from coal. or from fuel oil or crude
oil. or from a combination of coal and
oil. which method is in use at the
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-05-25

Gently discovered method for the ex-
traction of gold from minerals in min
ute quantities, and supplants the higher
priced eucalyptus oil which was at first
USED in the process.
Felt for Copper Shingles
'"The roofing pitch, shingle paint and
steel paint have uses known to every
one. The tar felt we make here, i'm
porting the rolls Of felt paper and i'm
ORIGINATING them with the pitch at the
local plant. In connection with the
recent venture of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company in making copper
shingles we have devised a special kind
of tar felt paper, of unusual thickness,
which is used underneath the shingles
as an insulation against cold or heat.
The c%reosote, used in preserving
wood. is nearly all used by the United
States reclamation service and the
United States forest service within the
state Of Montana. Some surplus which
We have is shipped to the G. B. & Q.
railroad at Sheridan, Wyoming, where
they have a plant for treating ties.
The coke is all sold in Great Falls"

present time, due TO its flexibility in
responding to the fluctuation in de-
mand during the day.
Normally. the plant uses five ears
of coal and two of fuel oil in a month.
If the present coal strike should make
it impossible to obtain coal, fuel oil
could be used, according TO Mr.. Bertke.
If the railroads should become demon
allied the plant could be operated on
crude oil hauled by motor truck from
the northern Montana fields. Now the
oil used by the company is transported
in it's own tank cars.
By-Products Cut Costs
due largely to the manner in which
the by-products of the company are
handled. the local gas rate is cheaper
by % cents a thousand cubic feet than
