 cured from the Ford Distributing Co.,. by MT. Barnett were shown at the high school Tuesday, Oct. 27, during the sixth period. The first reel was Mutt and Jeff comedy which was en- joyed by all the students and the fac ulty. Another reel was shown en- titled "The Pride of Mexico" featur- ing the city of Guadalajara, which is one of Mexicos largest and finest cit ies. The third reel was entitled "Kil- auea Volcano" This volcano is To- cated on the island of Hawaii and is the worlds largest active volcano.
 The following day the reels were exhibited at the grammar school.
 These films will probably be shown in about two weeks in connection with Armistice Day
 Hector Mclean has been transferred to Lynwood, California He travels in a school bus now, so the school must be pretty large. His postoffice box number is 542.
 For few minutes each morning the students of the English classes in high school have been giving Current Events. Some of the topics reported upon are scientific; all are of national interest. These reports will be giv- en the entire school year.

 Yesterday all of the High School pu- pills had a great surprise when Cap atin Shearer of the "Delwood" extend ed an invitation to the students to come aboard the boat. After arriv- ing MT. Haines showed them the var ious instruments on board and explain ed their construction and uses. This was particularly interesting to the Science classes. One of the many interesting objects was machine for ascertaining the depth of the water. Another was used for the purpose of locating Instructions in the path of the ship and for telling how far away the time the pupils of any of the schools of the territory have had the oppor- tunity to go aboard the ship A word of thanks is extended to Captain Shearer and to MT.

accompanied only by a haIf-breed In
dian, as no one else would venture
into the mountains so late in the
year. Carrying their packs on their
backs, they had reached a point
about five miles from the summit
when his companion became exhaust
ed and had to be left at camp, if an
open fire on ground cleared Of two
feet of snow can be called a camp.
From there he went alone through
the pass and far enough to make
sure he was in the Pacific drainage.
Alone that night at the summit, he
tramped to and fro to keep from
freezing, and in the morning came
back to his Indian only to find the
fire out and the fellow half frozen.
He finally got his man back to a set
Element in the east foothills Of the
Rockies, after which he came over
100 miles to the railroad, and thence
to St. Paul with his amazing report.

At n stroke the discovery Of the
Marias Pass shortened the proposed
line to the Pacific coast by rel 100
miles, affOrding a better alignment,
much easier grades, and less rise and
fall"
A short time ago I came eastward
through the Marias Pass at sunset.
1t was a lovely day, and as the train
climbed upward, delightfully."- cool.
The scenery was magnificent enough
to attract the attention of tourists
returning from the western entrance
Of Glacier park, who might have
been s~urfeited with sightseeing. AS
we neaTed the summit, it was almost
dusk, when a young gentleman
slipped into the seat back of me, and
announced to the pretty girl at my
side: eff you look out soon, you will
see the Stevens statue" Almost as
he spoke it became dimly visible, and
then was left behind, as the train
Numbered on.
There, on the plateau where he
spent that memorable night, in a
superb amphitheatre surrounded by
lofty mountains, stands the bronze
statue Of John F.. Stevens, erected
by the officials of the Great Northern
Railway company, to show their ap-
probation of his services in their be-
half. No n who knows why it is
there can fail to be thrilled on be-
holding it in its unequalled setting,
Of valley and towering heights.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-09-30

had been a tradition. Indians had
described it, and explorers sought it
unsuccessfUlly. John F. Stevens, the
great engineer, who was then in Mr..
Hills employ, determined to discOv-
er whether the stories Of the Indians
and the report Of Governor Isaac l..
Stevens (that he judged there must
be a pass at the head of the Marias
river), had any foundation in fact.
The result was that on December II,
1889, he located the desired pass,
about 125 miles north of the passes
near Helena, at an altitude of $500
feet.
When, last March, John F. Stevens
was awarded the Fritz medal, Presi-
dent Ralph BUdd of the Great North
ern Railway company, told the story
Of this discovery, which I quote from
the book issued in commemOratiOn of
the awarding of the medal. PRECEDENT

be accomplished anywhere, but pre-
ferably where the two peaks Joined,
and there was a slight depression.
One evening at sunset in 1863,
guide, who had accompanied us from
Ohio on our journey across the
plains, drew our attention to masses
of what appeared to be clouds in the
west that were outlined against the
red sky, and said: ''There are the
mountains"
I could not believe it at first. They
did not correspond with the serried
line depicted in the geography, for
they varied in size and form. My
establishment was greater, when I
came amongst them, and discovered
that in entering them one found him
self in a maze with no visible exit,
and without a road to follow the trav-
eler who was unfamiliar with the
country would be lost. We passed one
chain Of mountains only to encounter
a second, and once within their con-
fines we never were out Of sight of
them.
The ascent to South Pass was SO
gradual that we had to be told we
were in it; and it was many years
before I knew what the finding Of
that pass meant to trans-cOntinentaI
travel. TrappeTs and hunters went
back and forth over the Rockies long
before, but horseback or afoOt. The
first wagon to go through Soutl
Pass was that of a Protestant mis-
siOnary, DR.. Marcus Whitman, IL
1886. It's feasibility for this kind o.
a vehicle having been demonstrated
others profited by the experiment o
Whitman and soon the tide of emf
grafton crossed the barrier which
Thomas H. Benton once said SHOULD
be the western limit Of the Republic
and that on the ridge Of the Rock,

Montana and Idaho Woods Greatly
Reduced This Year, Although To-
tai Number of Fires Was Greatest.
That the public is becoming
more careful in the use of fire in
the woods, although using them
more for recreatiOnal purposes, is
the belief of forest officials iudg-
ing from the great decrease in the
number of man-Caused fires in
district No. 1 of the National for
ests in Montana and Idaho this
season. Man-caused blaZes for
1925 were only about 40 per cent
of the average for previous years.
This fact is looked on with much
encouragement as man-caused fires
previously have given considerable
trouble, usually being started in good
timber stands. On the other hand,
the season this year, considered by
forest officials to be the worst since
1919, has been especially bad from
the standpoint of lightning fires,
which were far in excess of the aV-
erage.

Of the total, were caused by light
ming. In contrast, the number OF
-man-caused fires was 282, which is
about half the usual number Of what
may be termed %preventable blazes
Railroads set 81, campers 81 and

One thousand and fOrty-four OF
these fires were extinguished before
they reached IA acre in size, $40

were held under 10 acres, and los
exceeded 10 acres each before being
controlled.
The total area burned over was
62,492 acres, Of which 44,544 acres

on to Helena and Butte, the princi-
pal cities of the state. At first it
was thought that a pass would be
sought in that direction, and if found
elsewhere, the trade on this line
would prove u~cratiVe. However,
should the ROAD seek an outlet in
this neighbOrhOod, it would not be
nearly so advantageous as would
be a pass farther north, and in a
more direct line.

Railroads in the Southeastern quar-

portation. in the terms of complaint
filed today with the Interstate Com
merce Commission by one OF the princi-
pal. intercoastal shipping lines, the
Luckenbach Steamship Co.
The commission was asked to correct
the situation by forcing the railroads
to make new rates in conjunction with
the steamship company for joint ship
ment moving partly by water and

The existing statutes, the complaint
asserted. requires the commission to
protect water transportation from dis

As an illustration of the situation
attacked. the complaint said that the

the shipment came from the Southern
