SHOULD HAVE
GOOD CONCRETE FLOOR

So indispensable have concrete
floors become in the are of the au-
tomobile, that few garages are now
built without them.
Without a good floor in the garage
car washing is almost impossible.
Washing on an earth floor simply
means that the garage is converted
into a mudhole. Floors of other ma
terials are not entirely satisfactory,
even dangerous. There is always a
certain amount of oil and water
which drips from even the best cars
and sooner or later, if the floor is the
kind that oil will soak into, the
tires will be standing on an oily sur
face. Such a condition causes treads
to wear away quickly. Besides, with
an oily floor, especially if construct
ed of wood, there is a constant dam
ger of fire by a spark from the muf-
fler.
Concrete makes the ideal garage
floor. 1t is waterproof and %oilproof,
easy to keep clean, will not rot, easy
on tires and simple to build. AL
most any home owner who is any
sort of a mechanic at all can put a
concrete floor in his garage.
First of all the soil should be ex-
about six inches below the
level intended for the top of the

any place, care should be taken to

sun RIVER LAND
OPEN TO ENTRY

Sixteen thousand, one hundred
seventy-two acres of government
land on Sun river, northwest of
Augusta and lying partly in Teton
county, will be thrown open to en-
try on August z, with the filing of
the official plat Of survey, accord
ing to notice received recently at
the United States land office in
Great Falls.
The land in question is in town
ships ~, % and rs north, range 8
west, and includes all or portions
of a number of sections. AS Writ
ually all of the area to be opened
for settlement is embraced in pend
ing oil and gas permits or applica-
tons for permits, homestead filings
must contain a waiver Of all oil and
gas rights to the government.
Soldiers Preference
From August 7 to November S,
inclusive, the land will be subject
to entry under the homestead and
desert land laws by qualified ex-
service men of the world wal who
have been honorably discharged,
separated from the service or
placed in the army or naval re-
serve. These soldiers preference
applications may be presented up

to make a quaky, jelly-like mixture.
AS sOOn as the concrete has been
placed in the forms it should be
struck off level with a straight edged
board and finished by smoothing off
with a wooden float or trowel. This
will give an even gritty surface.
Metal troweling is not advisable since
it gives a surface that is too smooth.
When the concrete has hardened
enough to resist finger impressions
it should be covered with earth OF
straw and kept damp for a week or
more by sprinkling. This curing is
important since concrete does not at
tain it's maximum strength if allowed
to dry out too quickly.

1t is confidently expected that with
the off spring of this nuclei and fu-
ture importations that by the year
1925 Smith River valley will have
10, 900 milk cows converting its won
derful pasture and unanimous hay
and grain into thousands Of gallons
of pure milk per day.
The past few years of experiment
ing have shown that excellent dairy
hay and roughage can be raised on
the dry land and now there are thou
sands of acres producing from one
to four tons per acre, of the choicest
1eguminous hay.
White Sulphur Springs, located in
the heart of Smith River valley, now
boasts the possession of the most up
to-date creamery in the northwest,
the biggest dairy barn in the world,
and the largest herd of Holstein cat
tie in Montana. Meagher county, in
which the valley is located, has more
graded highways per square mile
than any county in the state, kept
in a state of perfect maintenance, ed
vocational facilities that equal any,
and a wealth of scenery upon which
one can feast ones eyes without a
sign of ennui.
AS the name of the town would
imply, it has famous mineral springs
which at the present time are not
receiving the development which they
merit. These springs are famous the
world over as the only place where
the American aborigines would not
engage in tribal warfare, there be-
ing as many as seven tribes camped
about the springs at one time, peace
fully enjoying the medicinal and cur
properties of the water at one
time. Although a person visiting the
valley after an absence of four years
would hardly recognize it with it's
immense dairy barns dotted over its
broad expanse, the transformation is
not yet complete as there are still
many places where dairy farmers
may settle.

AND MIXED FARMING
uM THE SMITH RIVER VALLEY

Early in 1918, the leading citizens
Of the Smith River valley realized
that the of the valley we're
not being utilized by the agricultural
methods then being employed, name
ly grain farming, sheep and beef
cattle ranching. 1t was observed
that there were many tracts Of land
that we're not being used for the
above mentioned purposes, that were
ideally situated for dairy farming,
lacking only dairy buildings, milk
COWS and dairy farmers, with which
combination this land would produce
more per acre in one year than it
had produced in any previous twenty.
1t was with the idea of making this
land, which was not utilized to the
fullest, produce hitherto unthought
Of wealth, that the Springs club, a
commercial body, the White Sulphur
Springs and Yellowstone Park Rail-
road and the leading citizens of the
valley conferred the bulk of their ex-
ploitation and advertising activities
into making the valley a real dairy
community, that would thrive in
hard times nearly as well as during
the waves of prosperity. This move
ment first met with a great deal of
opposition as many of the old timers
believed that all the country was
good for was the ranging of sheep
and cattle and it was nearly as hard
to change their minds as it is to
change the spots on a leopard, but
they had seen what the black
and white COWS were doing for the
country and the people that were
milking them, they became some of
the most ardent boosters of the
movement.
The first step in this movement
was to convert the people, next was
to put the idea into practice. Up
wards of two thousand pure bred and
high grade Holstein cows have been
imported in the last three years, from
Wisconsin, New York and Vermont,
/ few of them being National Grand
and many in their ranks

so that the floor will have a good
solid foundation. Provision should
be made for drainage either to a sew
er or low ground. The floor should
slope to the center or to a gutter
at the front or back. If the drain is
made at the center a sand box should
be built about a foot square and ten
or twelve inches deep so that it may
be covered with a heavy screen. The
sewer outlet is taken out of the side
of this box about six inches from the
bottom. The box thus provides a
place for sand and mud to settle and
prevents clogging of the sewer. The
accumulated sand may be removed
from time to time with a shovel.
The floor should be given plenty
of slope toward the drain SO that the
water will run off freely. One inch
slope to ten feet is recommended. 1t
will usually be found satisfactory to
build the floor in sections that are
small enough to be finished easily.
Strips of concrete, laid alternately, |
permits the builder to work easily
from both sides and obviates the ne
cessity of his doing the job all at one
time. !
Two by skies, placed on edge, may
be used for the forms and should be
staked securely in place with the top
edge leveled to the intended surface
of the concrete.
The concrete should be mixed one
part portland cement to two parts
clean sand and three parts crushed
limestone or washed pebble. Lime
stone is preferred whenever it can be
obtained. All parts should be mixed
thoroughly with just enough water

A great deal of timber is saved
each year in the Washington Ma
tional Forest through the lookout
station on Sourdough Mountain, Cas-
cade Range, which is said by G. H.
Park, of the forestry department, to
be the best lookout in the forest re-

one-half affair with glass windows
entirely around it, so that view
Of the country can be had from all
sides. A cupulo is mounted on the
top, which is made entirely of glass,
with the exception of the frame.
The building itself is sixteen feet
square and is supported by heavy
cables anchored to rocks nearby.
This keeps the station from being
blown from the top of the mountain
by high winds. Since it is above the
timber line and there is no avail
able firewood, the lookout men are
supplied with an oil stove for cook
ing and heating purposes. The ele
walton Of the station is about 1000
feet.

Any person who is lover of the
out-of-doors will enjoy summer at
this lookout station. Although iso-
lated from other men the person in
the lookout can make friends with
the wild birds and small animals
living close by. However some men
become SO lonesome after one week
at the lookout that they are unable
to remain longer, while on the
other hand some are sorry when the
season ends
Besides this large lookout there
are several secondary stations. These
lookouts are located at Texas Pond,
Suiattle ranger station, Church
mountain, Skyline ridge and Backus
ranger station. Most of these sta
tions are equipped with telephone
to the nearest ranger station and
all are situated where a good view
of the surrounding country for
many miles can be had Guards and
patrol men use these stations, in the
summer, but do not stay there per-
manently during that season.

Many places nearby have been hit
by lightning at different times, Mr..
Park said. The man in the station

NEWS LETTER
CaseeGM,sutAe~

New York.-New York City edu-
Gators are particularly interested in
Motion Picture Book Week and
Children's Book Week which are
together to be nationally observed
Nov. 11-17 and ares doing their
share to make it known to the chill
dren and to aid in every possible
fashion.
Ernest L. Crandall Director of
Lectures and Visual Instruction in
the New York schools, is enthu-
siastic over the movement.
81 know of no greater service
that can be rendered in connection
with motion pictures, than to make
them contribute to the child's love
of reading" said Mr.. Crandall.
"Our observation has been that the
filming of standard literature does
just that.
at is movement that every
school superintendent, principal
and teacher will approve Of, | am
certain, and the immense amount
of good direction that can be given
through this annual Motion Pic
ture Book Week cannot be esti-
mated. 1t is something that will
bear it's profits all through the
life Of the child. who receives the
impulse toward good books from
the films. We know that the film
is doing a good work but it is like
everything else-it is sometimes
not properly used and it is not good
for children to see all the films
that are shown.
"The list of films selected by the
Committee for Better Films of the
National Board of Review of Mo-
ton Pictures is a good one. am
sure it will meet with the approval
Of educat tors, whose influence can
be used to have exhibitors show
these films in their theatres, not
only during Motion Picture Book
Week but also at other times dur
ing the year.
Educators and those interested
in community service are inter
ested in improving the films and
here is an excellent opportunity for
them to further this cause. The
exhibitor must have it demon
strated to him that it is equally as
profitable for him to show good
photoplays u. ii is those of the
poorer kind. With the better
forces of the communities working
together this can be done"

Seattle Celebrated Its 72d Birthday

Seattle celebrated 1t seventy-sec-
ond birthday Tuesday, November 10.
On the morning of November 13,
1851, according to Prof. Edward
S. Meany, the schooner Exact, in
charge of Captain Folger, brought
its first cargo of humanity to Alki
Point. Although David T. Denny
and Lee Terry had spotted and
started to build log cabin on Alki
Point few weeks before, this col
ony of twenty-four people was the
real nucleus around which the city
grew. says the University Of Wash
ington historian and pioneer.
In 1852 Henry L. Yesler arrived
and started the first steam sawmill
on Puget Sound. He was afterwards
referred to as the father Of the city.
On March 81, 1851, DR.. David s.
Mayfield and Chief Seattle arrived
at Alki Point. The town was named
after Chief Seattle In 1853 Seattle
became the county seat of King
County.
