TWENTY-FIVE MILES GOOD

With the completion of a 24-fOot
span bridge, constructed of trussed
steel covered with concrete slabs,
over Bridger Greek on the Bridger-
Rocky canyon road, and excepting an
old wooden structure at the Whitman
place on the Bridger-Rocky canyon
cutoff, the entire Bridger canyon is
now equipped with bridges and cul-
verts of steel and concrete construc,
ton and built according to plans and
specifications approved by the engin-
eering departments of both the Fed
eral and State Highway commits
sions.
One of the latest of these bridges
to be constructed is a 16-foot span
bridge near the Ed. Blackwood ranch
between Bozeman and Salesville, at
the foot of Gooch hill.
The entire board, composed of
Chairman James E. Moore, and Com
m~issioners George W. Barlinton and
John Aakjer accompanied by District
Engineer T~orgerson of the State
Highway commission are in Livings-
ton today in the interests of a better
and more modern highway connect
ing Bozeman with its sister city
Livingston, at which latter place they
will confer with Northern Pacific
railway officials in the matter of try
ing to secure an appropriation from
the road for the removal of all the
dangerous railroad crossings on the
Rocky canyon road, which is one of
the most beautiful and most import
ant links in the entire coast-to-coast
route of the Yellowstone trail. While
in Livingston the board members viii
confer with the Park county com-
missioners to the end that a mutual
and cooperative road-building pro
gram may be mapped out for the com
ing year between the two counties
whose interest in the Yellowstone
trail is identical.

DOES 1T PAY TO ADVERTISE?

Considered from every possible point of view, the project of
the BOzeman Womans club, whereby its members met all the
through passenger trains each afternoon during the past sum-
mer and distributed bouquets of sweet peas to the hot, weary
and travelstamed occupants, was one Of the most commendable
peace-time acts on record.
Altruism, public spirit, good fellowship, charity and adver-
Using are all neatly embodied in the plan, of which the latter is
by no means the least important.
All public projects must ultimately rebound to the public
good; otherwise they will be shortlived and must be charged off,
on the debit side of the public ledger, to Experience" In giving
thought to the plan of the local club women one instinctiveIy
recalls the famous English slogan of philanthropy and Six Per
Cent" which is but another way of saying that for altruistic
movements to become successful they must first of all be made
practical.
Acknowledging as facts all the good things that may be said
IN favor of the daily visitation and flower distribution plan of the
thoughtful Bozeman women, it cannot be denied that the strong
est point in it's favor is that it has incalculable value as a publicity
agent, stamping the city of Bozeman and the county of Galatin
in particular, and the broad-gauged state of Montana in general,
as a most desirable section of these United States in which to
either reside, do business or sOjourn. In the sense that the gift
is without price, the results can truly be said to be priceless"
The plan is practical; it is a blessing, both to those who give
and to those who receive; and it serves to keep the name and
spirit of this community to the forefront of those progressive
communities whose citizens are continuany-not spasmodicaIy-
doing things worth while. 1t very happily combines theoretic al
truism with practical effectiveness and, because of that fact, it
should by all means, be continued as a regular feature of this city's
national, as we'll as local, publicity.
In view of Fords reiterated statements that he finds himself
prominent officer of the club said: "The response was remarkable.
From day coach to observation car most gracious thanks followed
most was the altruistic feature of the gift. There were no strings
attached to it-just a fragrant bit of houghtfuIness-and a boost
for Bozeman."
To the answer of all of which it can truly be said that it does
pay to advertise, provided what we have to sell is worthy, and the
method and means of publicity honorable.

"Nothing Was EUer Lost By
An Enduring Faith In Montana"

Nothing was ever lost by an enduring faith IN Montana"
a slogan adopted by the Rev. H. G. Klemme and proposed by him
at the regular weekly MONDAY luncheon of the Kiwanis club held
Monday at the Elks' club, is destined to take its place as a pub
licity asset, alongside of There's a Reason" "You sing America
Why Not See It?" Copper Lasts" eat Your Service, AS Long
AS Water Flows" eff It's Montana Wheat, It's Good To Eat And
Can't Be Beat" and other w%elknown trade cOmpeners, in the
curricula of the broad college of Montana commerce and settle
ment.
Pointing out that the national publicity of a state must be
based on facts, backed up by the confidence of the people of the
state itself, Mr.. Klemme, ably assisted by the clubs visiting
guest of honor, George Smell, of Billings, district governor of the
Kiwanis, outlined a plan of publicity that cannot but be OF great
and lasting value to the commonwealth at large.
Decrying the adverse publicity which the state has unwilling
ly gained as the alleged home of grasshoppers, the foster-parent
of over-boosted "champen" prize fights and the manufacturing
center of Icelandic weather, the speakers outlined a plan which, if
operation of every newspaper and civic organization in Montana,
citizenry of the state of Montana a spontaneous enthusiasm in it's
present development and a feeling of absolute confidence in its
potential possibilities for the future.
The plan contemplates the holding of an annual Thanks
giving week" throughout the state during the latter part of Nov
ember, whereby the actual results of the past year of progress
will be reviewed in the public press for dissemination throughout
the entire country. Each of the seven days of the week will be
DEVOTED to a separate general phase of activity, for instance
Mines and Mining, Montana Scenery and Climate, Agricultural,
Water and Power, Tourist Traffic, Development and Manufacture
ing, and National Resources; with their numerous subdivisions
If the fruition of the plan develops nothing else than an I'M
bounded faith in Montana and a love of its soil and its people by
the citizens of the state itself, including of course all those
thousands of our growing boys and girls now attending schools
and colleges, it will have well served its purpose, and will have
repaid it's originators we'll indeed.

this standard, the margin obtained be-
fore the war was too small. If, on
the other hand, the pre-war margin
was adequate, the present margin
may be unduly large, unless in the
meantime there has been a marked in
creas in the investment"
The Coal Commission has empha-
sized the fact that in the anthracite
industry there is need for some form
of public control or regulation which
has not yet been undertaken. But
government regulation is not a cure
all. 1t does not offer an unfailing
protection against the unwarranted
action of one or another party to in,
dustrial controversies. Both direct
ly and indirectly, however, proper
regulation may prevent abuses of
power and minimize the occasions for
friction between employers and en-
ployes. The greatest benefit which
could be accomplished by regulatory
legislation in this field would be the
provision for adequate publicity con-
corning investments, profits, wages
ESPECIALLY in relation to cost of liv-
ing), etc.
The country's total household con.
sumption of coal is fairly evenly d.
vided between anthracite and bitum-
inous. If prices become excessive, a
decided decrease in the consumption
of anthracite and a larger resort to
substitutes will become inevitable. A
more general substitution of other
fuels for anthracite would go far to-
ward confirming hard coal prices with
in reasonable limits.

the terms of the agreement may ne
cessitate further advances in the pri-
ces of domestic fuel. 1t emphasizes
also the need for every possible econ
omy in the production and distribu-
ton of the commodity. Still higher
prices must follow the new increases
IN wages of the miners, unless the
growth in labor costs can be offset
by new economies or by reduction in
transportation charges and profits.
In response to the recommendation
Of the Coal Commission that a re-ex-
animation be made of the reasonable
ness of anthracite freight rates, the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
promptly ordered a general ~investi-
cation of interstate anthracite rates.
But in any case relief from this
quarter cannot be immediate and GER
tainly will not offset the whole of the
additional mining cost, which will to-
tai, it is estimated, $32,50O,000, or
more, a year. In view of the present
status of railway earnings it may be
found impossible, with fairness to the
the carriers, to impose upon them any
considerable part of the new burden.
In its preliminary report, the Coal
Commission, not having completed its
study of investment, did not under
take to say what operators profits
have been in terms of return N IN
vestment. However, as a result of
comparisons of mine costs the produc-
ton with net sales realization per
ton, the Commission concludes that
"the anthracite operators are receiv-
ing much larger profits at present
than they customarily did before the
war;"
But the Commission adds: Until
the total earnings can be compared
with the total investment, the public
should withhold Judgment as to the
profits received by the anthracite IN
dustry. It may be that, judged by

UnsOLUed Problems in Anthracite

The new contract between operators
and miners brought an early termina-
ton of the recent strike in the IN
thracite fields. Relief from the i'm
mediate menace of another shortage
of domestic fuel is exceedingly graf
flying to the public, but consumers
have no doubt that the increased cost
of mining due to the 10 per cent in
crease in wages will mean higher
prices for the commodity. They also
realize that the needed basis for as
sured continuity of production has not
been established.
The settlement is obviously a tenn
porary compromise that leaves un-
solved the most vital problems of
the industry, according to the cur
rent issue of the Guaranty Survey,
published by the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York.
The demands which the public make
upon the anthracite industry-an am
pie and dependable supply of the COM
modify at reasonable prices, with adj
equate wages and working conditions
for the miners, and fair profits for
operators and distributors-are easily
stated. There, agreement ends,
Judgments differ, of course, as to
what constitute equitable wages, pro
fits, and prices. But it does not fol
low that %recurrent strikes and tenn
porary truces must be continuing
features of any working basis in the
industry. Rather the Survey says
there is needed a condition which
would further encourage miners, as
well as operators, to accept the ar
bitration of an impartial tribunal
when, through direct negotiations
their representatives fail to reach az
agreement.

He said the incubation Of an zen
during faith in Montana" in the
school children of the state was
quite as important, if not more so,
than the effort to secure the same
results on the adult population. He
drew a vivid comparison between
Montana and California, in which he
decried the lack of faith shown by a
great many Montanans in their own
state and pointed out that Californ-
ians have told themselves so often
that California is the greatest state
in the Union that they had actually
gotten to believe it.
One of the strongest points brought
out by both Mr.. Klemme and Mr.
Smell was that nearly all of the
states greatest progress along the
lines of commercial, mining and agri-
cultural development has been made
during the past five years, which half
decade were perhaps the most try
ing similar period in the history Of
the nation, not even excepting the
period of financial depression that

Mr.. Smell said that while in st.
Paul he learned the Northern Pacific
had spent this year in improvements,
such as new trackage, new depots and
other buildings and similar construc-
ton work, the sum of two million
dollars. He said he intended to at
tend the charter presentation at
Glendive today, and the big meetings
scheduled soon in Denver and Mis-
soula.
Following the regular luncheon
hour, the board of directors were
called upon to attend a special ses-
sion at which some of the details Of
the proposed publicity plan were dis
cussed.
