the foresight of DIR. hiegfriedt and
his keen appreciation of the scenic
Beartooth mountains, that the trail
is being discussed today as the coming
road to Cooke City.
DR.. Siegfriedt was followed by 0. H..
P. Shelley, Secretary Of the Bear
tooth Boosters Club Of Red Lodge. Mr..
Shelley propheszed the ultimate ac-
complishment Of the road, il "all
would put their shoulders to the
Wheel and help put it over. He ap-
pealed to the people Of Red Lodge for
consistent and earnest support, as he,
in his connection with the Beartooth
Boosters Club has and will give the
greater part of his time to the project.
Mr.. Shelley was member of the del
egation which went to Washington
last December, and who first acquaint-
ed his Washington friends with the
idea and feasibility Of the road,
r. G. Wiggenhorn was next intro
duced and spoke from the standpoint
Of having been former Red Lodge
man and now d Billings citizen, and
who has dual interest in matters
affecting the two cities. He assured
the people that Billings wants the
road and is boosting it to the same
extent that Red Lodge is boosting
1t, for the reason that Billings will
form the gateway to the highway,
carrying eastern tourists to Red
Lodge, and thence on to the Yellow
stone park. a
Those who had the pleasure of hear
ing Senator Wheeler were impressed
by his enthusiasm and his interest in
the new road, from the standpoint Of
providing a playground for all Of
eastern Montana. Senator Wheeler
has spent the greater part OF his
time in western Montana, where his
home and interest are located, and he
feels that eastern Montana has not
been treated as fairly AS western
Montana in the matter of building
roads, fit for tourist travel, Of for that
matter, any roads at all.
Trip to Beartooths
Senator Wheeler, in company with
O. H. p. Shelley, had just returned
late Saturday afternoon, from five
day trip to the very heart Of the
Beartooth mountains. He was there
fore in position to tell what he had
seen and was extravagant in his praise
Of the beautiful scenery, comfortable
camps and fine fishing, which he had
enjoyed. From Richel Lodge they
took horses and proceeded over the
trail to Camp Sawtooth, which they
reached late that afternoon. They
spent the night here and the follow
ing morning went to Beartooth Lake,
also over the saddle trail. The greater
part Of the time was spent here, tho
The party made the trip to Deep Lake,
which must be made by foot and they
also visited Island Lake. With all
If this scenery the Senator was
greatly impressed and could not con-
zeal his appreciation when he began
MS talk.
In part Senator Wheeler said:

Red Lodge are interested in cows and

The Reverend DR.. Straton wants the

His earnestness may puzzle other
Fundamentabsts when he says he can
prove the evolutionists are wrong, be-
cause "Triassic rock" antedates by mil
lions of years the time of mans evo-

II the world is only six thousand

Senator B. X. Wheeler gave his hearty and en-
thusiastic support to the proposed Red Lodge
Cooke City road, when he spoke at the community
dinner to more than $50 persons assembled in
Workers Hall Saturday evening. Mayor G. A.
Jeffery, acting as POSTMASTER, introduced the
speakers and Senator Wheeler was the last to
speak. After Mr.. Jeffery's opening speech, he
introduced Dr. j. c. F. Segfredt Father of the
Black and White Trail, who in his usual enthusi-
astic vein, told his listeners of the benefits that
would accrue to Red Lodge and community when
the proposed road became reality. 1t was thru

Is flying dangerous If the pilot
uses common sense, it is less danger
Gus than crossing a crowded street.
In twenty-five months pilots from
Mitchell Field have flown 1892. 900
miles, in 81 1868 SEPARATE flights.
Only THREE have been killed, al
though pilots have turned endless
somersaults and committed much other
foolishness in the air.
Sixty years hence cautious old ladies'
will refuse to ride in automobiles or
earth trains. They will say, "At my
age they are too dangerous, only
fly, and at a safe height"
This humorous paragraph is pub
lished;
A country editor, having worked
hard for thirty years, retired with
$4,000 capital. He explained as fob
lows:
IL attribute my ability to retire with
$4,000 to the fact that worked very
hard and saved every cent--and to the
death of an uncle who left me $49,-
999.50."

Deeply religious men often make
mistakes in science. Mr.. Watson Davis
mentions two instances. Martin Luther
condemned savagely "an astrologer
who strove to show that the world
revolves, not the heavens or the firm
ament, the sun and the moon. This
fool wishes to reverse the entire
science of astronomy" But today
not Calico is the fool.
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1925-07-30

Calvin, quoting the psalm which
says "the world also is established that
it cannot be moved" added, "who will
venture to place the authority of
Copernicus above that of the Holy
Spirit?"
And the good John Wesley thought
the new ideas in astronomy showed
trend toward infidelity. Those were
three good Protestants; they all wor-
ried about Calico, as Bryan now wor-
ries about Darwin. But religion has
survived their theory.

Ten thousand country editors could
testify that there is more truth than
humor in that anecdote.e The most
useful, underpaid and earnest body of
men in the nation are the editors of
country newspapers.
The pathetic fact is that they would
be highly prosperous men IL business
and advertisers realized the truth that
the country newspaper, in proportion
to its circulation, is THE BEST AD-
VERTISING MEDIUM IN THE
COUNTRY.

An increase in the price of rubber
drives manufacturers to plan for small

will find a way to substitute steel

Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Nance, who
have nine children, gave a party for
those children and their offspring
One hundred and one came to the
party. If everybody did as well, if the
millions in China raised their gigantic
families, for instance, and if plaques
and floods stopped killing them, how
soon would the earth be over-peopled? ?
That is the thing NOT to worry
about.
"The Lord arranges it so that the
trees shall not grow into the heavens. 4"
And He has undoubtedly arranged it
so that the earth shall not breed more
people than it can support. AS the
world grows older and its people know
more, fewer children are BORN; more
of them LIVE.

plain was fairly smooth and sloped up

a distant river bed on our right.

about miles an hour when from the
cover of trees on our left we saw
about a dozen armed horsemen ap-

they were tribesmen on the trek,
took little notice of them. Then 1 saw

fort frightened me so much that l was
in cold sweat when we got to the
top. What the extreme gradients
were ! do not know. but in parts they
seemed like the side of a house and
most Of the way we had sheer wall
on one side and a drop varying from
500 TO 1000 feet on the other.
The surface was so loose that in
parts the wheels would hardly grip,
but we manipulated it unaided, which
was another great achievement for
Felix. Later ! heard that during the
life of the South Persian Rifles an
officer named Grant engineered this
pass. and ever afterwards it was
named Grant Road by people who
knew India.
I ATER that day we arrived at a
gendarme post at Saidabad
where we were entertained by the Of

notorious band of brigands, in which
he had killed two men and taken
eight prisoners. But we were men OF

studded with cyprus trees. Arriving
in the city, we spent few days there

The night before we left Shiraz we
had a serious misfortune. Felix was
left unattended for an hour or so, and
in that time every round OF ammunl,
ton we possessed. with the exception
of five rounds, was stolen. 1t was
not possible to replace them here, and
as we should have to be dependent
on our gun for meat for nearly all the

matter that caused us a deal Of anx

This Bear Powerful.

THE great Alaskan brown bear, or
kodiak grizzly is the largest Of
all present day carnivoreS, or flesh
eating animals, in the world. lie is
also one OF the most powerful.
His fame has lately become quite
as far-spread as that Of the African
lion or the Bengal tiger. His reputa
ton has been that of a plunderer,
and a most dangerous and feroCious
beast Yet. writes Harold NCCrack-
ell in Nature Magazine, in long eXpe
rience l have found him to be very
amiable and peace-loving big fellow
extremely curious, highly intelligent
and quite unaware of his brute power
and strength.
The young are born while the
mother bear is still in her Information
quarters; they are blind and helpless.
not much larger than bulldog puppies
at birth. and weighing only from
about 9 to Is ounces. Yet, these same
tiny creatures are destined 70 develop
into the largest of carniVoreS.
In this particular phase OF their
life is shown one Of the perfect plans
which nature has developed. The
mother bear has gone into hiberra
ton for the long Arctic Winter under
CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH tbIliDti llti u
exist on merely the surplus energy
which she has stored up in her own
BODY. Thus for her own means OF
survival are the young born so tiny
| that they will make but a minimum
drain upon her energy and vitality
until she can again so out to seek
| food in the Spring.
The cubs are early taught TO catch
| their own salmon. and they seem t.
| find great enjoyment and sport in i.
One of the most impressive things
ever saw was one of these Alaskan
| brown bear cubs trying to manage
big king salmon which he caught ON
a shallow rifle. The king solmOn
at least twice the size of the salmon
which the bears usually feed on, ana
| he had quite a tusSle with il. The
| big fish was almost as long as the
| cub, and was too large and heavy for
| him to carry out onto the bank in his
| mouth. but after much trying he a
| last picked it up in his arms and.
| standing on his hind feet, with the
| fish's tail Hopping between his little
| out onto the rocky shore with his
| prize.
The particular district where these
animals are most abundant, and where
| they seem to be at their height as
| an outstanding species, is the west
| ern end of the Alaska Peninsula, es-
| pecially along the Bering Sea side
| between Port Moller and the head
| of Pavlof Bay, and the mud flats ot
| Izenbeck Bay.
