Reduces Road Costs

A new and inexpensive process OF
constructing gravel-surfaced high
ways, employed by M. L. O'Neil, road
builder in Cascade county for the
state highway commission, is attract
ing much attention for its service
ability and economy.
The aim of the process is to elm
mate non-uniformity and the exist
ence of occasional soft spots in roads
by grading the material on the high
way in an inexpensive manner. In
this grading advantage is taken of
the fact that larger stones always roll
to the foot of a gravel pile. Conse-
quently, if gravel pile is advanced
progressively across the road, the lar
ger stones continually rolling to the
foot of the pile will place them auto
matically at the bottom, while the
finer material is drawn over them to
form the wearing surface.
Mr.. O'Neil is now experimenting
with the process in Cascade county
and, according to county officials, he
has produced some remarkable re-
suits.

One of the most beautiful views
of its kind that can be found any
where can be seen from the double
window in the dining room of a
Poison hotel, which looks out
across Flathead lake with a dotted
line of islands in the foreground.
Of course, neither towns, coun-
ties, or states can be built up on
scenery alone, and fortunately for
the new county of Lake, it has rich
agricultural lands and wealth of
timber to support it.
Within the last decade nearly all
the new counties in Montana have
been organized on the east side of
the state, for the reason that new
settlers have come into that sec
ton more than into the western
area.
The town of Poison itself was
within comparatively recent times

tapped by a branch line of the Nor
thern Pacific railroad, so that to-
day it has both railroad and water
transportation at its command.
Three miles from this beautiful
little city is one of the greatest I'M
developed water powers in the
northwest, which belongs to the
government, but which some time
undoubtedly will be harnessed and
convert Poison into a power city.
There are several good towns
within the new county, including
St. Ignatius and Roman that are up
to-date and thriving supply points
for extensive agricultural districts
surrounding them.
In fact, it would seem that few
counties in Montana have set up
their own local governments with
brighter prospects than this new
county of Lake has before it.

confines, and this irrigation scheme
is now in good way to be com
.pleted.
Lake county is well named, for a
large portion of it borders on Flat
head lake, one of the most beauti-
full inland bodies of water in the
United States.
The enterprising city of Poison
is most picturesquely located, and
has the unique distinction of being
the largest seaport in Montana, and
with its docks and steamers along
side, it has all the appearance of
a little ocean harbor.
Montana is blessed with much
unsurpassed mountain, forest and
river scenery, but for the most part
it is little short of what may be
termed "waterscapes" in contra
distinction from landscapes.

HAL STEWART WILL MANAGE

the Boulder Hot Springs, one of the
best known resorts of its kind in the
state.
Mr.. Stewart will succeed as mana
ger of the Boulder resort James Rey-
nolds, whose injuries, suffered in an
automobile accident, have rendered
him incapable of continuing as dir
ector of the enterprise. Mr.. Stewart
will take charge under a contract
which may extend from one to 26
years, at the option of the holder.
The big establishment at Boulder
is part of the estate of the late James
A. Murray, banker and mining mag
nate, and is now controlled by Mr..
Murray's nephew, James E. Murray.

he offered Cruise one of his claim:
if he would remain.
Cruise accepted, and with hi:
characteristic energy, went tc
work. He managed to make just
fair pay out of his diggings. He
noticed that the gold that he took
from the bedrock of his claim was
frequently attached to peculiar
quartz. He spoke to Brown about
the circumstances, and expressed
the opinion that somewhere in the
neighborhood was a mother lode
of gold quartz, the source of these
specimens. Cruise determined to
prospect for the quartz, and invited
Brown to be his partner.
No Faith in Quartz
But Brown was placer miner,
and did not believe in quartz, or in
mining theory. He believed that
gold was where one found it. He
considered that quartz mining was
game for the man with money,
and that placer mining afforded the
only opportunity for the poor man.
what will you do with quartz
when you find it" he asked Cruise.
"You will have to have money
with which to build mill, and to
pay the miners for getting out the
ore. I'll stick to my placer claim.
You can have the quartz"
So he threw away his chance to
make great fortune. Cruise went
quartz hunting. After a seasons
hard work he found the mother
ode, but as is we'll known, the
water drove him out. Then heI
started the long tunnel in the
Marysvi1le mountain, a tunnel that

Cruise and Brown


When Brown would come to
Helena, after Cruise had establish
ed his bank, he would always go
to see his old friend. And no matter
what business was in hand, every
thing had to give way to the
bearded prospector from Silver.
He always had right of way to
| Cruse's consideration.
| Cruise bought Browns gold dust,
the cleanup of his placer. 1t is re-
lated that Cruise always oyerpaid
the prospector. Finally he was re-
ceiving such high price for his
dust that he became suspicious. On
the occasion of his next visit to
Cruse's bank, he took the precau-
ton to have his dust weighed be-
fore he rendered it to Cruise.
When Cruise paid him for the
dust he looked up his figures and
found that he had overpaid him
$500.

"You have made nice stake, and

ought to do well. | had an idea
that you were crazy when you were
driving that tunnel. Now | know
it. If you keep on buying gold
dust you are going broke. I
brought in $500 worth of dust and
you have paid me $500 for it. You
cannot keep up that game and make
any money. If you were not an
old friend of mine | would take the
money and say nothing. But I
hate to take advantage of cripple,
either mental or physical"
Brown Learns Truth
OF course, Cruise could not tell
him that he had overpaid him pur-
posely. That would have spoiled
everything. But after that Brown
would sell no more gold dust to
Cruise. He told some of his placer
miner friends about the incident.
These men had been selling their
gold to Cruise and had found him
a good close bargainer. They told
him so.
Tommy Cruise is the shrewdest
lust buyer in Helena. He can tell
ust where the gold originates,
rom Alder gulch to Marysville, by

'ou have no right to do this. No
ian can give me money. I hate to
less up your face, but I have big

But the trouble was finally avert
1 and Brown kept away from the
ank for months.
The men remained close friends

A new name has appeared on the
horizon of the sports world.
10y j. Molumby!
Unless all signs fail, Molumby
win prove to be the Tex Richard of
the west.
Word comes that Molumby has
succeeded in getting the consent of
Jack the Giant Killer Dempsey
himseIf-to meet Tommy Gibbons
-himseIf-in combat at Shelby
ON July A.
Tt has been two years since Jack
fought for his title. Two years to
the day since he climbed through
the ropes at Boy1e's Thirty Acres,
New Jersey, to manhandle Georges
Carpenter.
Everyone knows about Jack, how
ever, so here's some dope on Molum-
by:
Is Legion Commander
He is the state commander of the
American Legion of Montana, and
has been tireless in his efforts to land
the Dempsey match. His one ambi-
ton just at this time is to see COM
pleted a veterans hospital for dis
dUlGQ IOIIu0I SClNlCC aCn u0 law
of the state requires that SO per cent
of all boxing show net proceeds shall
go to the state fund for veterans
hospital. Hence Molumby's anxiety.
Molumby, with assistance of bust
ness men in Shelby and Great Falls,
raised $4,000 to meet the guaran-
tees of 100000 required by Demp-
sey and $4,000 by Gibbons.
When Molumby left Great Falls
recently for Chicago for the purpose
of signing up the fighters he had a
draft for $4,000 in the plane in
which he flew with Earl Vance, avia-
tor.
On the very day Molumby reached
Salt Lake City the executive commit
tee of the state legion sent out word
from Helena opposing his (Molum-
by's) action.
Molumby's Triumphs
Thereupon the Toole county post
polled all the posts of Montana and
Sc answered with majority of four
to one favoring the fight.
Then things started to hum.
Vance, the aviator, donated his |
services.

And the announcement that Jack |
and Tommy have agreed to the match |
seems to justify their determined eff
forts.

He was an aviation officer during
the war and is member of the Cas-
cade county boxing commission,
which supervises bouts in Great
Falls.
Following the war he devoted
much of his time to aiding ex-service
men. He rented house in Great
Falls and took care of a number of
men who we're disabled and were

He has done much legal business :

VVYILLIAM BROWN, gone

richest men in the state. After the
