Joe said, "and the bunk houses smelt

Joe is strong for the Butte "drys.'
He says they are the finest in the
mining country, always plenty Of hot

C~hanmerIain Springs Surprise
of Day in JaVelin

The Bobcats walked away with the
triangular meet against Intermoun-
tain Union college and the State Nor
NAL school on Tuesday, taking firsts
in all but two events, on a fled that
was in terrible condition. Montana
State ended with $50 points, against
the SO that Intermountain accumu-
lated and the Is which the Normal
was able to CLEAN.
Bobcat superiority was evident from
the first. In the preliminaries held
during the forenoon, the college placed
all four men in the high hurdles, and
three out Of four in the low hurdles.
In the sprints the local boys were
equally successful, placing four out
of six. men in the 100 yard dash, and
the same number in tn 440 dash.
The places won Ear be seen in the
summary below, but it may be we'll
to mention a few CT the more import
ant events. The best time of the day
was made by Gotham in the high
hurdles. Although he actual time
was really slow, it was exceptionally
fast considering the very bad condi-
tion of the track. Livers came close
behind Gotham in this event and he
won the low hurdles also. In botl
these events Livers looked like a sure
point getter for the Missoula meet.
Jack Chamberlain pulled the sur
prise of the day when he stepped on

But the hard-rOck miner Of Butte
calls them "drys."
Every mine Of the Anaconda com
7any is provided with d dry" in which
identical conveniences are to be had.
Each dry is equipped with row after
row Of rOomy steel lockers, with hooks
for clothing and a box with a trap
door for shoes. Each one has bubbline
fountains and long basins with running
water for purposes Of ablution.
Each dry" has a number of shower
baths with hot and cold water in IN
limited quantities. Each has metal
walls, metal roofs and concrete floors.
Each dry is lined with steam
pipes to dry out the wet clothing and
maintain an almost trOpic tempera-
ture for the comfort of the bathers.
Each locker is supplied with venti-
IatiOn pipes to carry off the OdOrs, and
the steam from the drying garments,

There are 81 'drys'' on the Butte

The 1923 Legislature

ms impressions or the pefSOHuel Ol the membership of the Seventh Ter ritorial Legislature, with the prom ise to insert the article "as writ" the editor of the Alaska Fisherman may be inviting heap of trouble for himself.
 It is always a pleasure to write pleasantly and favorably of men in public offices, when there is the least possible excuse for it. But when many public officials fail to take themselves or their responsibilities with any degree of seriousness, 1t is hard to boost them.
 The membership of the Legislature just closed appeared to "Onlooker' as dividing itself into two distinct classes. The Democratic bosses and weak-kneed Republicans, the latter dominated by the Federal officials n the First Division, were strongly al lied on the one side. They sought to pass vicious political legislation and to protect the big interests. They easily dominated the House on most issues, but met with snag in the Senate, where the vote usually ran 4 to A.
 The opposing side were progress sive and sought to secure some mucn needed home rule legislation, but suc- ceeded simply in holding back the enemy and preventing it from going over the top. If they lost out in the House the Invincible Four stood up like grim sentinels in the Senate and shot down the invaders.
 In the final analysis nobody was hurt much. Everybody got what ap- propriations they wanted and owing to a presumed surplus in the treas ury it was not necessary to increase any of the taxes in order to provide the necessary income. There was no attempt to reduce any of the burdens of taxation.
 For the first couple of weeks the Invaders, after organizing both branches of the Legislature, felt se- cure in their position and prepared their measures for the big onslaught of the last half of the session. But, alas, for their fond dreams. A few of the members awoke to a reallza- tion of the real motive behind the pleasant smiles and convivial gather ings. As a result they declined to be the expected dupes and asserted their manhood for fair legislation.
 It is not expected that l should 20 into a discussion of the various measures before the Legislature, but rather to briefly indicate what man ner of men the members appear through the mirror of scrutiny to the

 to expectations, Bartley proved, like Caesars wife, all things to all men. But he was mostly with the big noise, the element that always dominates through wealth and political import ance He quickly forgot that he was elected by the common people, but possibly he at one time lived In banana belt, where the skins made slipping so easy. But between his slides he would give "conscientious" thought to a measure, until Tony or some of the other men who bitterly fought him at the polls issued the mandate that caused him to see the light There is hope that at the next session Bartley will throw off the shackIes and become real useful member.
 FOREST J. HUNT-Usually right on all important measures, with 2 real desire to improve the material conditions in the Territory and to treat all elements fairly. He was a stumbling block in the path of the Democratic gang, but they caught him mapping a couple of times, when he listened to the blandishments of the political enemies who fought hardest for his defeat at the primary and in the general election.
 HARRY PRATT-Good dog. Con- tent to listen to and respond to his masters voice, with Tom Marquam never far away. Occasionally he was allowed to assert a seeming independ- ence on some incidental measure. But he never once broke over the traces, although always pleasant and agree able about explaining the why's and wherefores. Harry began to tire of work toward the end of the session. And when it was whispered to him that ''the mumy ain't had no fun for five thousand years," Harry got busy to demonstrate that he never was a mummy.
 MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE
 JOHN J. ELLIOT-The first name on the roll call, there was no need at any time for a suggestion as to what the response should be. Altho new man in legislative experience, "Jack," from the very first seemed to instinctively know when bill rang true and when it's passage would be for the betterment of most of the peo- ple of the Territory. And when some thing was before the House that meant the taking away of beneficial privileges already enjoyed, the first vote could almost with a certainty be counted upon to spell may"

He introduced progressive measure that was pre- sented to the Legislature. But the CONTROLLED Big Four" killed his Controller bill.
 FRED M. AYER-Fred just flut. ters and twitters, in the Senate cham Der as much as in his numerous con- vivial private conferences. In diplo- macy he is like a planked shad, open and above board. In explaining many of the hay measures given to some of the trusted ones, Freddy was like the Venus de Milo, the leading figure in disarmament. But he was proud to represent the big interests and de- parts to his Los Angeles home per fectly satisfied with himself for hav- ing put something over the patient people of the North. As a presiding officer Freddy was almost as great a joke at the end of the session as he was when he first took the gavel in hand.

Keeps a sharp look out for the welfare of the laboring man and is always ready to vote for progressive measures and against the political bill of junkers. With age and experience will come greater courage to emphasize his opinions on the floor and to take leadership that will prove of decided value to the Territory.
 A. J. DIMOND-Thoughtful, plot ting and industrious. Pleasant in his relations with his fellow members, but always on the alert to serve his politi- cal gang and carry out the dictates of the Big Interests.

As the law partner of the Democratic National Committeeman from Alaska. and one of the Gugg attorneys, Tony makes a faithful Senator.

Low Power Plant Will
Cover Texas With
Studio Programs.

GEORGETOWN, Dec. "a long
dreamed Of project is to be launched
early in January when Ford Green.
radio amateur Of Brownsville. will
install his broadcasting station at
Southwestern University. While the
station will not be very powerful,
Mr.. Green states that it will reach
all parts of the state.
The station will be used for con-
certs. lectures, debates and athletic
broadcasts. The fine arts department
will play a large part in furnishing
programs, in rendering concerts in
piano, voice and violin.
In addition TO broadcasting. the
station will be member Of the
relay league and will handle messages
on amateur wave length. The signal
set will be two-tube Hartley cir
cult. on wave length of twenty.
forty, eighty and one hundred ninety
meters. In Brownsville. where Green
has operated his station for some
time, he has been logged in nearly
oil states of the Union.
The broadcasting set will be four
tube Meissner circuit. using wave
length between two hundred twenty
and two hundred fifty meters. The
exact wave length will be determined
by the government when n license
is granted.
Ford Green, a student in the uni
versity, will be chief operator and
will be assisted by Jack Whitaker of
Sulphur Springs, as well as by sew
eral others who are familiar with
radio. Green is a licensed operator
with first grade certificate and
has recommendations from II. W.
Mallory of the United States Navy.
During the past summer Ford operat-
ed the municipal station at Browns
vile and was employed by the navy
in installing new twenty k. W. set
at the Fort Brown Naval Station.
The station will be located on the
first floor Of the science building,
while the studio will be in one of the
reception rooms Of Mood Hall, dor
mitory.

WEEK IS BARREN
IF BROADCAST
LICENSES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-For the
first time in almost n year a week
has elapsed without n new broadcast
ing station being licensed by the De
partment Of Commerce. Heretofore
there have been from three to ten new
licenses granted weekly.
The absence of new stations is held
to be directly due to the recommends
tons of the fourth national radio con-
ference that no further stations be IL
censed until much of the present con-
gestion in the ether has been relieved
There is reason to believe that there
are large number Of prospective new
broadcasters who have been holding
off on demanding n wave length ami
license because Of the possibility or
new channels being created by the con-
ference. 1t was thought that the con-
ference might take the 10000 meters
band from the amateurs and throw 1t
open to the broadcasters.
With their hopes in this direction
shattered, there is a likelihood that
the prospective new broadcasters may
try TO exert pressure on the Depart
ment of Commerce in order to get
license before Congress has n chance
to act upon the matter.
The shortage Of wave lengths is be-
coming acute. A new class Il station
equipped to use 5000 watts is ready
to broadcast at st. Louis. The new
station is to be called The Voice of
st. Louis" At the present time it
seems almost impossible for the De
partment Of Commerce to provide
wave length for this station although
n desperate effort will be made to
squeeze il in somewhere

TINY BROADCAST
SET USED DAILY.

One of the smallest practical broad
casting stations and one which works
six days week is in use at radio
plant here and possibly duplicates Of
it are in use by this time in other
localities. 1t was put in service to
meet an insistant demand for morning
brOadcasting.
At the radio plant it is necessary
to begin giving receiving sets their
final tuning up early in the morning,
before any of the large brosdcasting
stations with their varied programs
are on the air. To meet the difficulty
Howard A. Gates, in charge of one of
the laboratories. built a miniature
broadcaster. mounting it on panel
eight and one-half inches square and
this is now used. attached to q phono-
graph. for morning testing.
The station has n wave length of
from 200 TO COO meters and a range
of about a block However. this range
is sufficient. since the aerials for the
testing department are on the roof
lust above the final test room.

FEW Tests KEEP
RADIO UP
TO SNUFF

Keeping the radio receiver in good
condition is a matter of making a few
simple tests now and then to see that
the parts are working up to original
efficiency.
The principal thing is, perhaps, the
battery supply. If storage battery
is used to light the tubes, its voltage
should read six, and it should test
about 1.275 on a hydrometer.
When the voltage and hydrometer
readings are below these figures, the
battery needs to be recharged. If
dry-cells are used to light tho fila
ment, they should read / IL volts
each.
Volunteer readings of the "B" bat
teries should be As volts on each block,
when new, and when this voltage
drops below 81 volts it is time to watch
the set for trouble. At this time, it
is best to renew the battery.
4 Sometimes tube gets bad, and this
can be determined by switching the
tubes about to see the difference. Aft
er q years use. some tubes become
weakened and need rcjuvenating.
