NORTHERN AIR
ROUTE PRAISED
'TEx" RANKIN, PORTLAND Filler
SAYS MONTANA LINE BETTER
THAN SOUTHERN AIRWAY
Aviator Who VIII Compete in National
Derby Race From New York to Spo-
kane Says Flying at 10000 Feet Here
Easier Than at 1000 In Wyoming.

The Pacific northwest has the great
potential transcontinental air route,
says j. G.. "Tex" Rankin, chief instruc-
tor Of the Rankin School of Flying in
Portland, Ore, who passed through
Montana recently EN- route to New York
where he proposes to enter the Glass
"A" division of the national air derby.
Mr.. Rankin. after stating that the
coming air derby will be the greatest
racing event in the history Of aviation.
discussed the claims of the northwest
to a transcontinental air route at con-
siderable length.
II have flown over the northern route
several times" he said. MY last trip
from the east to the west was made
three weeks ago. I have also flown over
the Salt Lake route and, in fairness to
the northwest, / am compelled to state
that it bears no comparison with a route
through your state,
ITO begin with, the landing places
are both more numerous and Of much
better character in Montana. This state
one is always within the margin Of safety
In the matter of landing fields.
THE air of Wyoming becomes sun
baked within an hour or two after sun
rise; whatever moisture 1t contained Is
d~issipated. 1t lacks weight as a result
and that is bad for flying.
1.-The air In Montana Is much more
moist, particularly In the higher levels Of
the atmosphere. than In wyoming,
Flight at 5000 feet in Wyoming is more
trying than at 10000 feet in Montana.
Montana mountains run from north
west to southeast. wyoming mountains
have a north and south trend. This also
makes a difference In favor Of Montana.
There is Just one rough spot in his state.
1t is small and lies Just west Of Missoula.
1t Is not important"
Mr.. Rankin has been engaged In fly
ing since 1917. He was assigned to as
semble the first American airplane that
arrived In France during the war. He
will fly a Waco plane in the coming
derby. 1t will bear the name, 1.-THE City

or 100 babies born In Butte. SO will
live, based on statistics of infant NOR
tally at the health Office Of that city.
The infant mortality there, which Is
about I per cent, Is one Of the lowest
In Montana and the northwest, ply
sicians who have studied child death
rate state.
Records at the Butte health office re-
veal that since January /, last, 605
babies were born in Butte and of that
number but "a died, which is an aver
age OF slightly more han one per week.
After the child reaches its first birthday
its chances for surviving are about 8 to
/, as during the sight months of this
year about six children above the age Of
one, but below the age of six have died.
That record is considered unique by per-
sons who have made a careful study of
the problam.
Girls have a slight edge over boys In
surviving their babyhood, it is stated.
This years record bears the state
ment. OF 307 boys born during the
eight months Of this year. % have died.
while Of 298 girls who made their ap-
pearance into the world at Butte, but
10 have passed away.
A striking thing revealed by the health
records is that the adult male mortality
rate in Butte is 35 per cent greater than
that of the female. Each month this
year the adult male death rate has been
greatly in excess OF that of the female,
while a few months the death rate OF
the males has been double that of fe-
males. During the year 1913 males have
died, as compared with ITS women.
The most dangerous age for adult per-
sons, based on the local records, is from
26 to as, when more than 40 per cent Of
the deaths occurred. The next general
lists for the grim reaper are from AS to
&C n over, when 35 per cent Of the
populace die.

During the summer and early fall.
several mining men V visited and
inspected iron deposits on Sheep creek,
near White Sulphur Springs, and,
though still almost In the rumor stage,
reports indicate prospect of long wait
ed development in this section.
Recently, w. M. Rossbery, George w
Roddewig, G. E.. Sheridan and A.. E. De-
Ceeles, Butte, representing w. A. CLARK
mining interests, have examined the
field, accompanied by E. B. Hubbard,
Livingston, mining engineer and miner
alogist.
Last June Charles S. Brothers, assist
ant to the controller in charge OF the
northwest district, visited the mines reg
ion. He was here in connection with is
uance of patents for claims by the gov
eminent to Virginia interests, which have
been doing work.
During July, Coyner started prospect
ing for depth Of iron deposits. Reports
to the Virginia company indicate $780,
oO0, 900 tons Of ore were found, as fal
as prospecting was carried. Seven mel
were employed In this work. Coynel
stopped prospecting operations at the
mines a few days ago and reports indi
cate sufficient ore in deposit for opera
ton of blast furnaces. He said, upor
leaving, he is satisfied there is sufficienr
ore to make development operations
profitable. Coyner expects to return
this month.

while %quenching his thirst at a cool
spring I'm the mountains a few days
ago, Arthur 4. Brown, assistant super
visor of the jefferson national forest.
glanced up to find a black bear about
to line up for a drink. Brown and
Il. g.. Myers, ranger I'm charge OF the
judith river district. were on an In
spection trip through that region of
the forest at the time.
When discovered the bear was less than
80 feet from MIR, Brown and was walk
ing steadily toward the spring. The
wind was blowing the scent away from
the bear, which at the shouts of Ranger
Myers turned slowly away and started
back up the slope. At short intervals
the animal stopped to sniff the air, ac-
cording to Mr.. Brown. but failed to catch
their scent until nearly at the top OF
the ridge, when, after shifting the air
two or three times, it broke into a run
and soon was out Of sight.
Game is plentiful on the Lost and
Middle forks of the Judith river, MIR.
Brown reports. Later that day about
two miles further down Lost Fork he
and Ranger Myers saw a brown bear at
the bottom OF a cliff. Upon sight of
them the bear swan across the river
and disappeared in the brush. Both the
black and brown bears were between
two and three years old. A few days
earlier the two men came upon our
buck deer OF Lost Fork. just outside the
game preserve.
Mr.. Brown returned from a two weeks
inspection Of the sheep and cattle range,
improvement work and game conditions
in the Snowy mountains and the Judith
river district.

(By Our Helena Correspondent
Highway construction is taking defi-

figures compiled by Howard w. Holmes,
state highway engineer. Since the
Scent tax on gasoline has been placed
entirely in state highway funds to
match federal aid, 81, 694, 154.17 has
been expended on state highway IL
bridge construction.
Including contracts to be let this win
ter, the commission will have let OF con-
tracts, covering a total Of 280.536 miles OF
highway INC 20 bridge Jobs. Bridge ex-
p%enditures total approximately s409 900.
Holmes said many Jobs will remain
over until next year., although the high
way commission is we'll satisfied with
work of the contractors. At the present
time, approximately $500. 900 OF the 1926
appropriation is still under contract to
be completed.

Experiments Observed

The Montana commission has watched
closely experiments in Oregon n else
where a system of oiling highways. Cali
fornia is having success with an oiling
process. An oiling machine from that
state has Just arrived at Butte and viii
be employed on the gravel stretch con-
Meeting the Butte-Anaconda pavement.
One reason for starting the work here
is because this highway is in poor con-
dition, and there will be an opportunity
to see how the method Of working the
heavy oil into fine gravel will operate,
Mr.. Warden said.
When thi work has been done the
machine will be used between Great
Falls and Cascade and next spring on
the Great FaliS-Belt road.
Mr.. Warden pointed out that a great
difficulty In Montana highway construc-
ton is to overcome the natural barriers.
He mentioned the Rocky mountains to
show what q problem 1t is to build
roads to meet needs. In the saving Of
time, maintenance of costs on cars and
in other ways, improved and shortened
roads pay big dividends on the invest
ment required for building them. &C
