COOLIDGE DICTATES
HIS FIRST MESSAGE
SETS NEW STYLE, AS HARD
ING USED SCRATCH PAD AND
WILSON A TYPEWRITER.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Limiting
his engagements and barricading him
self in his office President Coolidge
began today preparation of his mes
sage to the ,Sixty-eighth congress,
which will meet Dec. 3rd.
Unlike President Harding, who
wrote his state papers with a lead
pencil on scratch pad or President
Wilson, who hammered at a type
writer, Mr. Coolidge is debating his
recommendations to his confidential
stenographer, Erwin Geiffer. His doc
rments and messages, according to
close friends, always have been pre-
pared in this manner.
There is general agreement that
with a list Of wise proposals he may
be able to obtain a few constructive
measures upon which to base a cam
among his followers that unless his
message hits the mark a congress
with uncertain blocs and alignments
will run wild and accomplish nothing.
Taxation, Transportation and Quotas.
Taxation, transportation and immi-
grafton are rated as the three most
important subjects the president will
discuss, though he has confded in
none. Secretary Melons tax reduc-
ton letter, which Mr.. Coolidge ap-
proved, is taken to mean that revenue
reform will be stressed on the as
sumption It is a most advisable politi-
cal move.
Likewise it shows a soldier bonus
will not be among the legislative de-
mands and probably will not be men
toned at all But even Mr.. Mellon
does not know what the president will
do if congress sends him bonus with
its revenue raising PROVISIONS attach
ed, such as President Harding agreed
to accept.
Some space undoubtedly will be
given in the message to farm relief.
It is doubtful if Mr.. Coolidge will APP
prove any general legislation, as his
investigation last summer convinced
him this would not be helpful, and
since then there has been a diminish
ing volume OF complaints from the
farmers.

MENTAL HEALTH CLUB.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Members of the
Mental Health club in Atlanta are all

told by Miss Blanche Loveridge, At
lanta psycohygenist, in a series of
lectures in the Carnegie library as

has earned the title of doctor by
her long study along psyche hygenic

GROWING STRENGTH
OF NATIONAL BANKS
AN INCREASE OF ALMOST EV-
cry ITEM SHOWN BY STATE
MENT OF SEPTEMBER 14TH.

The growing strength of the cou1l-
try's national banking system is re-
fected in a composite statement of the
condition OF the national banks as OF
September 14th just made public by
Controller Dawes of the currency.
The statement discloses that although
there were 8,239 national banks in
operation on that date, one fewer than
a wear ago, almost every item figured
into their combined resources showed
increases over the bank call of Sept.
18th, last year.
Total Resources $4,000, 100000.
Total resources of $21,712,876,000
included loans and discounts OF 81 J.
o34, 100000 or an increase of SOU, 00O,-
600 in the latter item alone. Holding
of government securities also were
larger by $2O0,00O,000 than in Sep
TENDER, 1922, although the entire vol
ume OF government securities out
standing has decreased materially IN
the wear covered by the statistics:
There was moreovere an increase OF
about $1O0,000,00C in the value OF Sc
curities, other than those issued by
the government, which were held by
the banks. a.,
The total deposits, Sept. l4th, OF
Sl7. O40, $4,000, represents an increase
of nearly half billion dollars over
the deposits reported in the call OF
Sept. IS, 1922.

juicy dinosaur steaks fried in masto-
don fat tickled the palates of Califor-

other evidences that the two pioneers
of $4,000 years ago liked their eating
piping hot and with plenty of grease.
The decayed condition of the teeth
found in the two skeletons bears mute
evidence to this fact; as it does to the
fact that indigestion from half-cooked
foods and hasty dining probably was
factor in their early demise.

Former Senator William A.. Clark
is spending the summer in the land
of the great adventure of his youth.
He stands pre-eminent among that
rapidly diminishing band of men who
came to Montana when it was a raw,
new land, and made of it, through
the development Of its resources, the
great commonwealth that it is today.
Sixty years ago he walked into the
wilderness of the northwest, along
side of a yoke Of oxen, over the al
most trackIess prairie and mountain
country from Colorado. Now he is
one of the wealthiest men in the
United States and can ride on his
own railroads or yachts If he SO de-
sires.
His trek into this country was
along in 1863, and he came from
Central City. There, a youth, just
out of a Pennsylvania school, he had
his first experience in mining. He
worked as a hard rock miner in one
of the gold quartz mines of that early
day gold camp of Colorado. Came
the news of the rich placer discover
les in Montana. Clark and two others
decided to answer the summons of
fortune. They bought a yoke of
oxen and a wagon, equipped it with
the few stores they might need on
the journey, and started out. The
journey was accomplished in about
so days.
A few hours after their arrival in
Bannack the news came to that camp
of the discovery of gold in what was
afterwards known as Jeff Davis
gulch, so named by the ardent seces-
sionist who had discovered it. Clark
yoked up his jaded xen and started
for the scene of the new strike, ar
irving there in time to secure a COW
eted placer claim. A day or two later
the little group OF miners who had
secured claims held a meeting, and
organized the district, so as to pro-
tect their rights. Clark was elected
recorder of the district. Books suit
able for record were scarce. A form
er Iowa hotel keeper, who had
brought his half-used hotel register
along with him when he came to
because 1T contained the
names of many guests who had not
their bills, gave the book to
Clark in which to record entries of
the mining claims. That book, now
part of the Beaverhead county rec
ords, reposes in the vault of the Bea-
verhead county court house at Dill
lon.
When the cold weather came and
the placer mines could nc longer be
worked, Clark had accumulated a
few thousand dollars in gold dust,
as the result of his labor at the sluice
boxes. That winter, tobacco became
very scarce in the little gold camps,
and rose to fabulous prices. The
young placer miner put his gold dust
in saddle bags and made a horseback
ride to Boise, Idaho, looking for fin
ancial adventure. He found tobacco
plentiful there, purchased two wagon
loads of it, and freighted it across
the mountains, through an almost

trackless country, to Bannack and
Virginia City. The effort Melted him
over $4,000. That was his start O.
the road to fortune, a road that he
has travelled most successfully.
Senator Clark was one of the
states most successful bankers and
wholesale merchants, and had his
headquarters at Deer Lodge, when
the quartz properties of Butte first
began to attract attention. His Deer
Lodge bank had advanced consider
able money to finance the first quartz
mill built to treat Butte ores, and
the owner of the mill failing the
Clark bank was forced to take it over
to protect its loan. Senator Clark
went to Butte to manage this mill,
and this gave him an insight to the
real value Of Butte ores. He began
to acquire Butte mining property.
He was one of the first men of
substance to appreciate the potential
value of the great Butte ore deposit,
and by backing his Judgment with his
money, with the development of that
camp, became one of the first opera
tors in Montana. Forty years or
more have passed since that distant
day, and Senator Clark, keeping step
with the progress of the times, has
become a world figure in finance,
with international interests.
Senator Clark spends much of his
time in New York, where his business
headquarters are, but maintains his
home and official residence in Butte.
He is a devoted member of the So
ciety of Montana Pioneers, and has
made tr~anscontinental trips to attend
the sessions of this organization.

May Be Moonfish
"Pis~catorial pedestrian" is the
name that has been applied to a
most uncommon animal-fish caught
recently N the Tongue river by
Jim Sheppard of Miles City, and now
on display in a tank in the window
of a cafe. The thing is new to
Montana, and of a species never be-
fore found, it is believed, anywhere
on earth. However, the fact that 1t
fell for Sheppard's baited hook indi-
Gates that it has no more Judgment
than a fish, and as it lives in water,
it undoubtedly has pi~scatorial char
acteristics.
The fish, or animal, or whatever it
is, has four feet, the front one equip
ped with four toes, the hind pedals
being endowed with five. A fin, which
reaches from the base of the head to
the extreme end of the tail, with a
single break or interruption just over
the rear legs, distinguishes it from
any known fish. The head closely re-
sembles that of the we'll known mud
catfish so common in the Tongue and
cat, the new find has no whiskers and
instead of scales, is covered with a
fine down.
Sports Sidecurtains
The "piscatoria1 pedestrian" is
about six inches in length, and per-
haps one of it's notable characteristics
is it's gills, ears or side curtains,
which resembles the horns of certain
lizards. These horns are six in num-

in warm water, but when ice is
thrown in occasionally, it become ac-
tive and rises to the surface often,
apparently for air. It also has a wide
fin on the under side, extending from
the hind legs to the tip of the tail.
In certain points it resembles the Au-
stralian 1ungfish, but in others it is
undoubtedly unique.
