VISION BRINGS RETURNS

One of the most extraordinary power develop
ments IN the country is that of the Montana
Power company, which now has in operation serv-
ice tOtalling 100000 horsepower.
Most of this power was developed before the
great rise in costs which began in 1912, and in
a period when vision and faith were necessary
for such an undertaking. Just how good was this
vision may be seen in the fact that whereas the
Montana company has built all its plants and its
2200 miles Of transmission lines and stations for
less than $170 kilOwstt, they would today cost
about $3.50 a xilOwatt, or virtually double the
original cost.
On such vision, the Montana company has
grown into one of the greatest power firms of
America, and it serves a vast, sparsey-settled
country at rates that cannot be met in many
crowded cities. It's faith in the future of Mon
tana has already brought splendid returns, and
will for generations to come.
Montana's greatest need today is more faith
in her future. A few have it-a few whose know
ledge and farsightedness enable them to visualize
the possibilities and destiny of this great Treasure
state. The old saying that Rome was not built
in a day. applies to Montana with equal force.
Compared with its possibilities, the state is yet
in an early stage of development.
One Of the outstanding men who have faith in
Montana and who have the fundamental knowledge
and vision to comprehend it's possibilities is Presi-
dent Alfred Atkinson of Montana State college.
He is well informed as to the wonderful resources
of the Treasure state and can look into the future
with a discerning eye that vizualizes what can
and will be accomplished with them. For many
months he has neglected no opportunity to put
before the public the facts and to urge that the
opportunities at hand be taken full advantage of
with the least possible delay.
Yet from time to time carping critics arise and
exuding pessimism at every pore find fault with
such efforts to better the situation of the state
and it's people. These critics are not hurting
those who thus exhibit their faith in Montana
but they are hurting the chances of their com
mOnwealth for greater prosperity, or at least
helping to delay it's coming.
The prospective investor and the would-be new
home maker are characteristically timid They
accept with reservations even the most conser
vative claims, but are prone to take every ad
verse statement at it's face value They have n,
means of knowing that the faultfinders are o
incomparably smaller caliber than the boosters
and that they represent but an extremely smal
percentage of Montana's population. Thus it i

feet of a score of truthful statements.
President Atkinson is deserving of praise fo
his efforts for the advancement of Montan:
What he and others like him need is better an
more enthusiastic support. The Treasure stat
is not, literally speaking, paradise but it is a

MARE BATTLES BEAR
IN WHITE OUTLAW
DIRECTOR GIVES AWAY SECRET
Mother Horse Was Really Playing
With Grizzly

A thrilling fight between bear and
a mare protecting her colt is one of
the exciting scenes in the romance of
a wild horse, "The White Outlaw" a
Universal Blue Streak Western COM
ing to the Iris Theatre Saturday.
Giving every impression of being a
genuine fight to the death, the little
colt which had fallen into a pit and
could not get out was found by griz-
ely bear which approached the colt
clawing it on the back. Rearing on its
hind legs the bear hoped around the
little animal in vicious fashion until
the director of the picture, Cliff Smith,
freed the raving mare which promptly
routed the bear by half dozen well
aimed kicks.
Using real animals in this fight Cliff
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1926-02-25

Smith obtained one of the most unusal
evidences of mother love in the animal
kingdom ever photographed. The
scenes We're taken at semi-clse-up
distance and show every move and
play of the animals as they size each
other up.
None of the animals were in any
way hurt in the taking of the picture.
The bears clawing at the colt was in
reality just playful jab such as little
kittens indulge in while playing. The
bear and the colt were in reality hav-
ing the time of their lives and to give
the picture the flavor of combat sew
eral parts where the two animals
kissed each other with their muzzles
had to be left out and the entire action
speeded up.
Jack Hoxie, supported by Marco
line Day, is the star of the picture,
with Scout, Hoxie's mount, playing the
part of the White Outlaw, a wild,
horse, leader of herd of a thousand
bronchos which roam the territory adj
jacent to the great Death Valley.
Others in the cast of Isadore Bern
STEMS story are William Welsh, Duke
Lee, Floyd Shackleford and Charles
Brinley.
