MONTANA COAL FIELDS
LARGEST in WORLD

Production from coal field, cap
able of supplying the Northern Pac-
ific railway company at Its present
program for 26 years. will begin
September / at Colstrip, 40 miles
south of Forsyth, according to Gem
eral Fuel Supervisor M. A. DAILY of
that railroad. The Montana field
is the largest bltuminous area known
in the world, Mr.. DAILY said, and In a
years time will supply from two to
three million tons of coal.
Development of this area has been
under process for some time and In
another month coal viii begin to
come from this territory at the rate
of $4,000 tons a month. Mining will
not be difficult as the vein lies only
a distance of from 81 to rs feet under
the surface. Electric shovels are
now being erected and will haul out
the "black diamonds" ten tons to a
scoop. These will be the largest
shoveis west of the Minnesota iron
range. Power Is to be supplied by
the Montana Power company. The
coal liz TO be used exclusively for the
railroad and will cut fuel bills of the
company In one-half.
Coal from this area is OF the su-
perior grade, Mr.. DAILY states, and
Laboratory tests have proved that the
Montana fuel disintegrates with Less
than . per cent of the finest sort OF
ash. This eliminates the CRATE shak-
ing and cleaning OF ash pans now be-
ing done with the locomotives.

At Glacier Park.
Glacier park institute was held up
on the grounds recently purchased
and named Glacier Park Institute
camp. A tract of 40 acres, heavily
timbered with more than 600 feet OF
frontage on beautiful Lake Melon
aid, will be the future meeting place
for leaguers and members OF other
church organizations in northern
Montana. This is new camp, and
Improvements are now just under
way. A fund is already in hand for
use In erection of tabernacle and
the making of the other improve
ments that will be necessary for the
accommodation of the institute and
other gatherings that will yearly be
held here. The registration at Gla-
cier park was 146, representing IL
league chapters and two other COM
munities.

gallons per square. This rate of APP
plication varies some with the condi-
ton of the surface to be treated. The
least oil is used on the surface carry
ing the least loose material.
The purpose OF the oil is to keep
the dust down and produce sur
face better suited to turning water.
The roads In the City of Great
Falls that have been built as here
outlined have proven successful in a
measure beyond expectation.
Low COST Combination.
The cost of preparing the roads for
oil sprinkIing depends entirely upon
conditions, such as availability Of
cinders, etc. In many cases oiled
roads prove cheaper than even the
ordinary dirt road on account of the
high upkeep cost of the latter as
compared with the extremely low
maintenance of the former. The
average dirt road is in poor condition
after every rain and must be dragged.
On the other hand the cost of main
taining an oil road is very light. Oil
sheds off water, preventing mud, and
acts as binder preventing dust.
In Great Falls cost of oilinR foil
costing cents per gallon at the To-
cal refinery Is shown at less than
two and one-tenth cents per square
yard, which includes cost of oil and
|sprinkling. The average cost is
about s cents to cents per square
yard for cindering and preparing and
oiling, where cinders are hauled a
fairly long distance.
Oiling on Sixth street southwest
in Great Falls, (where we had a
short haul on cinders OF about one
thousand to fifteen hundred feet)
cost from Q cents to 10 cents per rum
ming foot (34-foot street and one
foot long) or about three cents per
square yard, preparing and oiling.
On the other hand, paving, not In
Guiding gutter and storm sewers,
costs about s2.75 to $500 per square
yard.
In the past, during the summer,
Park Drive in Great Falls was
sprinkled about twice day, and ev-
en- then complaints were made about
the dust, and after heavy rains the
drive was In bad condition. Now that
Park Drive Ia oiled, there Is no dust
whatever and the road is In the best
!, of condition. This condition prevails
In spite of the near-torrential rains
this spring and early summer. Other
oiled streets in Great Falls have
stood up correspondingly we'll.
The cost of the cinder-oiling com
4 bination can be lowered still more BY
saving cinders during the winter
months and spreading them on thu
street In front of the home, then IL
the spring the street ca nbe scarified
packed and oiled, with saving OF
hauling of cinders from distance.
One OF the economical factors tina
has increased the interest In the oil
ing of the streets and roads is that th
whole operation of cinder-gumbo-oi
can be done on or blocks for thu
interest on the cost OF one block o
paving. capitalized at six per cent.

is the material loosened and mixed

To avoid this the grader stops until

In this manner hard road in smooth

We are often asked why we do not
use roller for putting the road In
shape. In the first place we haven't
any roller. In the second place, we
wouldn't use 1t for that purpose II
we did have one. No roller is heavy
