SAYS COLORADO FINEST
PLACE ON EARTH

Mrs. Phillip Allen, who has been
visiting with old friends in Delta, left
for her home in Grand Junction Sat
urday morning. Mrs. Allen is a Colo
rado pioneer having come to Colorado
with her husband in 1870, before Colo
rado was admitted into the Union,
locating near Evans, Colorado. They
settled on a homestead in the early
days, and for a number of years were
in the dairy business, when she and
her husband MIXED 90 COWS and she
made butter. She stated that ranch
ing paid in those days, but that an
unusual amount of good hard honest
labor went into the effort
Mrs. Allen is so years OF age and
has spent more than a half century in
the state which she asserts "fs the
finest place on earth, and no other
state in the Union is to be compared
with it"

CONGRESS PASSES LAW PRO-
HIBITING OIL DUMPING

At last, bathers who frequent the
beaches along the Jersey coasts, and
other seaside resorts of the United
States, are promised relief from the
obnoxious oil which has been washed
in from the ships. Congress has
passed a law authorizing the Secre-
tary of War TO TO draft regulations to
prohibit the pollution of intercoastal
waters by dumping oil from ships.
This is bit of welcome legislation.
For years oil burning vessels have
dumped oil in the ocean near our
shores. with the result that some of
our best beaches have been spoiled.
Complaints have been made but they
have not produced the desired results.
But the passage of this law and its
proper enforcement should bring un-

IDERHAPS no town in Montana
during the past II months can
boast of such rapid increase in
population as Basin, Jefferson coun-
ty, situated almost midway between
Butte and Helena and traversed by
the Great Northern railway.
Basins growth and development,
particularly during the past six
months, mas been little short of phe-
nomenal, leapiag from a mere hand
full of people to a thriving mining
camp with a population of nearly
1000.
In the old days Basin was num-
bered among Montana's active mining
camps and for a number of years
enjoyed a great deal of prosperity.
1t was a frontier town in every re-
spect and the lure of gold attracted
hundreds of ~prospectors from all ov-
er the west.
Here Heinze first laid his plans
which eventually b%roadened to such
an extent that he became a national
figure in mining and here also many
other celebrated mining men have
found their beginning.
But like hundreds Of other west
ern mining camps when the shallow
surface crusts were removed, Basin
gradually fell backward and the pros
pectors strapped their outfits to their
pack mules and journeyed On, one by
one until Basin was a mere memory
of the by-gone days.
Prospectors Held On.
A few of the more courageous;
possibly with broader visions and
deeper faith held on following up the
early operators and continuing to
make small shipments of ore from
the shallow workings. But in the
main, Basin may be said to have been
entirely inactive for the past
twenty-five years or until the advent

west are as fortunately situated with
refernce to railway facilities as Basin,
the great Northern railroad passing
through the center of the town and
within a few hundred feet of the port
al of Last Chance tunnel SO that the
usual overhead of transporting ore
from the mine to the cars is mater
tally cut.
Basin An Old Camp.
The Basin district is one of the old
est in the state of Montana, dating
back to the placer days of 1864 when
rich placer gravel in considerable
quantity yielded hundreds of thous-
ands to the early operators. Later
TIE source of these values were found
~outcropping on the tops of the slopes
of surrounding mountains in the form
of veins or lodes rich in silver, gold
and lead. These deposits were i'm
mediately worked and a few of the
districts most permanent mines were
started.
At the Alta mine huge blocks of
carbonate ore weighing many tons
and containing rich values in lead,
silver and gold were found on the
surface a short distance from the
vein of which they formerly formed
a part. However, p~rospectors have
found many of the districts richest
sheets Of ore at the lower elevations
According to biologists the majority
of these ore chutes are still to be
found.
From 1870 to 1890 the town of
Basin flourished, but due to a drop
IN the price of silver and a general
period of depression together with
high smelling charges at that time
5he largest producers of the Basin
district were gradually forced to sus-
bend.
From 1897 to 1919 the district was

One Famous Doctors
Experience

Less than 1870 of the cases exam
ined by DR.. H. T.. Turner, eminent
specialist, were found to be free from
the ~insidious ravages of constipation.
Like a thief in the dark, it attacks its
victims, robbing them of brain ener-
gy, physical strength, and vitality of
life itself.
If you could only recognize this
menace in time; if you could only see
the terrible results of it's neglect
but read this experince of Doctor
Turner's. It is not at all an excep-
tional case,, but, as he himself says,
"Out of two hundred and eighty-four
cases representing nearly all the
diseases known to our cIimate) two
hundred and fifty-six were more or
less as this one described"
I opened the colon Tin post-mortem ex-

five feet and found 1t filled with faecal

go. and still this man had no trouble
in getting his life insured by one Of the
best companies in America, and was con-
sidered a strong and healthy man by his
family and his neighbors."
This man and many others, says
Doctor Turner, had regular evacua-
lions of the bowels each day. How
could they know the deplorable con-
diiton Of the intestines-the condi-
ton that caused the doctor to say;
AS l stood there looking at the colon,
that reservoir of death, | expressed my

porary room to the overloaded stom-
ach. The colon is left with its deadly
accumulation.
There is no man or woman who can
read these terrible facts without ask
ing himself or herself, What am l
doing to protect myself"
What answer can you give to the
question? You have seen that physics
only ~aggravate the trouble. What
then? Can you afford to let yourself
slip knowingly into the conditions so
graphically described by Doctor
Turner?
