THE OLD GOLD MILL
NOW STANDS STILL

WASHINGTON, D. CA dilapidat-
ed structure containing rusty machin-
cry is all that remains of an erstwhile
dream of wealth-an abandoned old
stamp mill of once famous Rocky
Mountain gold mine--on the shore of
Cracker Lake in Glacier National
Park, Montana. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars were spent on this
mine in the early '90s before this re-
gion was established as Glacier Ma
tional Park. 1t turned out while there
was plenty Of gold in the ore. the
process of extracting it was too costly
to make the venture profitable, so it
was abandoned.
The ruins of the old town of Allyn
lie few miles down the canyon, and
tales of the riotous life of this mining
settlement are now retold by guides
taking tourists through the Park In
this town the most attractive remnant
is the bar of the "Gulp Gulch" saloon
Tourists gather round this and eat
their lunches from it, washing their
food down with the sparkling water
from McDermott Creek, which flows
nearby.

Your Rice Crop In?

Fall is the time for gathering the
wild rice---the manominiki Of the
Ojibwas, the menona of the Missisau-
gas, says Nature Magazine. Two spe-
cies of wild rice occur in eastern
North America, Zizania palustris,
which is from six to nine feet in
height and has leaves from one-half
to one and three-quarters of an inch
in width, and Zizania aquatica, which
grows about three feet high and has
leaves less than half an inch in
width. Both species are common
along the margins of slow-fowing,
muddy-bottomed rivers and in muddy
bays of lakes, and they extend down
into slightly brackish waters in tidal
rivers. Both species are ANNALS,
which in autumn drop their seeds into
the water and germinate the follow.

MONTESANO. = Resolutions were
adopted by the Montesano Chamber
of Commerce at meeting recently to
oppose changing the name OF the Ore

ed by Wesley l.. Jones. The reasons
assigned for the opposition were the
antiquity of the present name. its use
by pioneers and in history and liter
ature, the fact that no one would be
benefited by the change and that it
must be considered by the people of
Oregon as an unfriendly act.

Sugar Plant Assured

Sugar made from beets grown in
the Puget Sound district--on farms
In Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish
counties--has been placed on the
market in Seattle, and the result of
the successful experiment is the an
nouncement that $1,000,000 beet
sugar factory for Western Washing
ton is virtually assured for 1924
For the first time Western Wash
ington grew sugar beets on a COM
mercial scale last summer, and now,
after going through the plant of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar Company in East
ern Washington they have been re-
turned here in the form of pure, white
granulated sugar in sacks with the
mark, Pacific Northwest Seal of
Quality Products" on each sack.
Not only was the experiment sue
cess, but it revealed that the beets of
the Puget Sound district showed even
a higher sugar content than those
from east of the mountains. The
growing is especially profitable in
the dairy sections, as it gives the
farmer the tops for feeding cattle,
and with plant nearby he would
have the pulp, which is said to be
excellent stock food. 1t is probable
that the factory will be built during
the coming year, and it will employ
between 300 and 400 persons in addi-
tion to providing profitable outlet
for the crops Of the farmers.

Another Triangle with an inter
and girl The setting is out in the
great open spaces, where the SHOWS
lie deep. No children complicate the
situation; instead there are q dogs.
Heart-thrcbs are, but these are not
occasioned by romance in its usual
sense. The prize is neither a wom-
ans heart nor love. There is romance
galore Of the sort that attaches itself
to a championship race and the prize
is the championship itself, symbolized
by the loving cup given by the Ameri-
can Dog Derby Association at Ashton,
Idaho.
The triangle is the race itself.
Whistlin Lyd Hutchinson is the girl.
Smoky CASTOR, winner of the trail
classic last year and present title
holder, grimly determined to hang
onto his laurels, is one Of the men.
Tud Kent, ex-champion, who lost the
crown to Castor on 14-second mar
gin last year, is the other. He is
equally determined to stage a sensa
tional Comeback this year and re-
gain his lost crown.
And Whistlin' Lyd, with her team of
Canadian huskies, owned and entered
by the Winter Sports Committee of
Montreal, provides at once the girl,
the romance, and the International
angle.

Electric Industry in 1923


AS an indication OF the unprece-
dented growth Of the electric light
and power industry Of The United
States the following estimate of sta
tistics prepared by the National Elec-
trio Light Association, with head
quarters at New York, have been
made public. The statistics are
based upon actual figures available
from the first six months of this
year.
1t Is estimated that the total num-
Der of kilowatt hours generated dur
ing 1928 will reach the 55 billion
mark, as against 1852, 100000 in
1922, an increase Of more than Is
per cent Contrasted with the out
put of % billion kilowatt hours in
1917, it is apparent that the cleo
trical industry has Increased in the
last six years more than during the
preceding 80 years of its existence.
Sixty-five per cent of this amount
will be generated from steam plants
'and 35 per cent from hydro-electric
plants.
During the current calendar year
the electric light and power COM
panies OF the country are increasing
their generating capacity by 2,S9O0O0
kilowatts, OF which 1,987,4OO kilo-
watts will be generated by steam
and 100000 kilowatts will be gener
ated by new hydro-electric develop
ments. This will bring the total gen.
Grating capacity OF the country to
20,605,884 kilowatts.

The mounted police of Canada Is
the only other similar organization
to the Texas Rangers on this con-
tinent. The service of the rangers Is
more effective than that of the regu-
lar soldiers, for they pay less con-
sideration to the possibilities OF inter-
national complications.
KILLED in resisting arrest Is q
very frequent report of a ranger, ana
it is always considered a satisfactory
explanation of the death of an out
law or criminal attempting to evade
arrest.
The original rangers came into ex-
istence in the early days of the state,
along about 1910. IN the neighborhood
of San Antonio. To affiliate with
this band it was absolutely necessary
for a man to possess courage. to be
splendid rider and an unerring shot,
and to have fleet horse worth at
least 500. For this he was remuner-
ated by the state with the sum of 81
a day.
The ranger was usually clothed IN
bucksllin and wore a broad-brimmed
hat. For his ACCOMPLISHMENT three or
four revolvers and as many bowie
knives were thrust through his belt
and a short rifle was thrown across
his arm. Years of fierce border war
fare had Injured them to every hard
ship and had prepared them for every
eventuality.-Detroi News.

At 81 recent meeting of The Aus

etics in Vienna, Doctor Rcthi pre-
scented Michael Prita, age forty-four
whose voice possesses the Jemark-
able range of five complete octaves.
The deepest note uttered by this
singer was a bass + corresponding
to A. vibrations per second and two
octaves lower. therefore, than the
deepest note which can be produced
on the violin. The only previous
record OF SO low tone in the hu-
man voice is that of bass singer
named Fischer, who lived in the
early part of the Eighteenth cen
fury. Prita also rendered upper c
with its full artistic value.
Beyond that the notes passed into
the head register and into a falsetto
resembling a soprano, says the Eng
lish Mechanic quoted in the Scien-
tific American. The highest notes
emitted were the upper + (demi-

occasions upper A (demi-seIni-qua
