Lodge is 4 promotion we'll earned by

has been one Of the most diligent

OF topics affected by congressional ac-
ton who ever sat in the law-making
body. Not snowy man in debate,
not u rnetorician in argument, his con-
tributions to the Seuate's discussions
have always been valuable, and as he
has gained in experience he has been
steadily advancing in influence as a
speaker. He has always been q par
tisan, faithful to his political organi.
zation, and yet with q breadth OF view
regarding public interest not limited
by political expediency. His selection
as leader upon the declination Of the
dean Of the Senate, Mr.. Warren, to
assume the responsibilities Of that
role, is logical choice and, Judging
from Senator Curtis record, an en-

A Plea in Abatement.

Counsel for Charles X. Forbes, for
mer director of the Veterans Bureau.
in, his opening address to the jury at
Chicago that will try the case against
him, enters the plea that his client,
instead Of being Implicated in and re-
spons!bie for frauds against the Gov
ernment and the veterans under its
care, actually sought to prevent such
frauds. AS an instance, he says that
when Col. Forbes took over the bureau
he discovered such wrongful practices
as the filling Of veterans teeth with
brass instead Of gold and the nainte-
nance Of a vocational training school
to teach former service men to be-
come sword-swallowers.
Certainly if these points could be
maintained at the trial and are not
offset by other matters. Col. Forbes
will appear as benefactor rather than
malefactor. This matter Of brass

The Tunnel Slide.

Work on the water tunnel between
Great Falls and the Conduit road
near the Anglers Club has been i'm
peded by slide" Completion Of the
tunnel will be delayed, but the en-
gineers say that it will not delay COM
pletion of Washington's enlarged
water supply system, which. it IS be-
lieved, will bc operative by January
l, 1927. The slide, which began sew
eral days ago and has continued in
steady movement, IS attributed to
pocket" Of soft rock in an otherwise
solid formation. It is expected that it
will soon exhaust itself; though the
direction and extent Of the soft mass
have not been determined.
The bulk Of the ridge through which
the tunnel is being bored is gneiss.
In some old book on geology ''gneiss"
is said to have been q Saxon word
meaning rotten stone" Our Potomac
gneiss is not rotten stone. 1t is
granitoid rcck, having pretty much
the same mineral content as granite.
many places. It is an archean crystal
line rock. 1t is classed as Il meta
morphic rock, or one that has under
gone change OF structure, and it is
generally held that 1t ts meiamCr-
phosed granite.
The ridge through which the tunnel
workers are boring is for the most
part Il formation Of high grade of
gneiss. But deep in the hill are cxten-
sive areas Of a brown rock, schistose
and Of closely fol.ated structure. 1t Is
also clasScd as q metamorphOsed
rock. Large areas of this
softer rock have been found by sev
eral OF the gOld-mining companies
which have sunk shafts III this ridge,
and much OF this rock carries gold IN
with non-precious min
erals. The free milling gold Of the
region has been found III small
pockets in white and iron-stained
quartz, but one Of the stamp mills
built on that ridge by a gold-mining
company crushed this brown soft rock
and passed the ''sludge' over copper
plates coated with quicksilver. At an
other time quantities Of this brown
rock or "orc'' were sacked and shipped
to Il smelter, Or one Of those works
in which gold occurring in combina-
ton with iron and sulphur, and form
ing a refractory" ore, is recovered
by various processes. Large bodies OF
this soft rock were found at depths
between a hundred and four hundred
feet.
Let no one get the gold fever from
this. There have been some stories
Of lucky men who have made money
from Great Falls gold mining, but it
Is a matter Of record that most per-
sons who have tried their fortune in
that way have lost money.
It IS no doubt this soft rock into
which the tunnel diggers have come,
and whether they have struck a small
pocket" Of it or an area several acres
wide and a couple of hundred feet
deep is question Of luck.

spirators against British influence in
lead 10 period Of comparative quiet,
especially as the Cairo government
ordered the Sudanese native troops to
yield to British force and evacuate
without resistance. But the native
troops disobeyed orders. Two platoons
OF them at khartum nutinied, attacked
the military hospital, killed a British
doctor and two other physicians and
were in turn subdued by British
forces in a short, but bloody, engage
ment. This outbreak has been quickly
but it may have sinister
consequences.
The terms Of the Cairo govern.
ment's order to the Sudanese troops
to withdraw were such as to infiame
them rather than cause them to yield
peaceably. They were told, III effect,
that the British are aggressors and
that the demands made upon Egypt
for the Stack crime are unjust. They
were to withdraw simply because they
would be outnumbered and outarmed.
The giving Of such an order 10 troops
Of this character was calculated to
lead to just such a tragedy as that
which has occurred at Khartum.
1t would seem that poor judgment
is being displayed at Cairo. The
Egyptian policy of the British gov
ernment has been clearly one Of benefl-
cence. A large degree Of autonomy
has been granted to the Egyptians,
and while certain powers have been
retained by Great Britain they have
been OF q nature to insure stable gov
ernmcnt and to permit the develop
mcnt of a larger degree OF independ-
ent administration. The killing of
Gen. Stack has checked this process,
and al of the actions OF the Egyptian
government subsequently have been
of q nature to make more difficult the
establishment of that large degree
of autonomy that was possessed be-
fore the crime.
