DR.. GEO. MECKLENBuRG
WRITES MONTANA STORY

DR.. George Mecklenburg, now of
Washington, d. c., who held pas
torates of the Methodist church at
Waller, Billings and Great Falls,
has just published a book on the
Last of the Old West" The set
ting is in Montana. Most of the
stories have backgrounds in Du-
puyer, Waller, Conrad, Great Falls,
Helena, Big Sandy, Virginia City,
Missoula and Billings.
The subtitle is wild West Sto-
ries That Really Happened With
the Sky Pilot in the Center of
the Stage" The book gives the
story of Montana, especially as it
is related to the part the church
played in the we%sternizing of
America since 1872. The explora-
ton period, the time of the trap
pers the goldminers, the cattle
men, and the struggle of the home
steaders are interpreted with a
fine understanding of the west.
Finally the book establishes the
fact that Montana is safe as a
farming and agricultural country.
The heroism of some OF the
strong preacher characters OF the
state has been given due atten-
ton. Corvin Illif, w. w. Van
Orsdel, Jacob Mills, Job Little
and Riggin have been given brief
biographies in an interesting chap
ter on "The Goliaths of Montan-
ana"
DR.. Mecklenburg has spoken in
Wolf Point on various occasions.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
(Great Falls Tribune)

Once more the English language
is to undergo a reformation. The
Anglo-American conference on
English. meeting in London, has
named a committee of 100 to IN
slider the problems of the com
mon language of the English
speaking countries" Much crltl-
cism of the way in which the
mother tongue is abused was
voiced by delegates to the con
ference, but they were unable TO
express what they intended to do
about it any more clearly than is
here set forth.
Using the exaggerated form
which so appeals to him, George
Bernard Shaw insisted that Eng
fish is not one language but o N
sists of as many dialects as there
are individuals who use this form
of speech; a statement that comes
closer to being automatic than
many that the famous and rebel
lious philosopher has made.
Most Of those who struggle with
the pe~rplexities and %gradations OF
English, as it is v%ariously inter
preted, will be puzzled to know
what standard the members OF the
conference committee intended to
use in purifying the spoken word.
It is customary for the purists IN
the United States to sigh for the
pronunciation and enunciatiOn OF
the British, but who would adopt
the speech of a Yorkshireman or
the dialect of a Cockney as the
model for others to follow?
If n of the many infections
common to this country is to be
made the model for others to fol
low, which one will it be? Elk
cept for Back Bay Bostonese,
there is little to recommend the
nasal ~wanderings which accom-.
pany conversation in the New
England regions. The southern
drawl has a pleasing sound, but
not when it is grated to the ILL
6rdCleS IudI I6oullSO WHEN 81 1871
stock attempted to master a new
tongue. The hale and hearty idiom
of the west is American surely
but is it English?
It would be creating a new lang
mage to consolidate only the good
of all these dialects and set the
finished product up as true ana
perfect language, and English
would be robbed of some of its
best elements if any n of its
forms should be discarded entire
ly. Again, how can perfection
keep pace with growth? No soon
err will the savants have estab-
lished their code than new words
and idioms will be knocking at the
door seeking admission, so that
thoughts may be better expressed.
The English language is like the
sea-, fed by many fresh streams
and noble rivers, bearing divers
coIors and smacking of the soils;
and yet the Washington Post finds
out, the sea is clear and hath a
salty SAVIOR throughout.

THIRD HORSE SALE

The third sale of horses gather,
ed in the official roundup was held
at the Wolf Point stockyards Tues
day. There were only about 300
head on hand and they were sold
to about the same buyers, at ap-
proximately the same prices, as
the first and second lots. The
Butte Packing Company bought
the greater part of the lot and
will drive them across to Terry.
E. N. Taylor bought some of the
best horses. A roundup is now
being made in Valley county.

IN THE
NATIONS CAPITAL
(Ry Stephen James,

President CoOlidge's remark that
"This is not a one man country
is destined to gain a place among
notable utterances of famous men.
It is not likely, however, to create
the turmoil that followed his
choice of the word choose" in his
now celebrated statement declin-
ing to run for the Presidency
again.
The Presidents statement, it
would seem, was made guardedly,
but by way of Qualification of his
thirteen-word u%tterance which set
the nation agog.
Almost as he was making it,
an excellent proof of its truth was
being offered in Washington. The
Little Cabinet" stepped into pow
er, coincident with the departure
from the city of the members Of
the Cabinet, the Secretaries of
Departments. over a recent week
end the President, of course, was
in South Dakota, and all of his
cabinet members were away on
errands of pleasure or missions of
state. The reins of government
passed into the hands of the under
secretaries, and not a culver was
felt throughout the country.
The last to leave was Secretary
of State Kellogg, who journeyed
up to the Canadian border to pass
the time of day with the Prince
of Wales.

Leonard Wood, in fact, goes to

whom a perverse fate denied the

Are you planning to fly? With
the impetus given the new trans
portation by the sensational flights
of the ocean fiers, a tremendous
interest is manifest in aviation
as a sport, a business and an avO
| cation.
In the office of the new Assis.
tant Secretary for Aviation De
partment of Commerce, so many
applications for pilots licenses
have been received that a new
section has been organized to han
die the requests.
No longer may the careless and
the adventurous imperil the lives
of those of us who remain aground.
An even more rigid examination is
required of would-be pilots than
for drivers of automobiles, yet the
tests lack many of the silly feat
ures that marked the examinations
of those in the war era who sought
wings.
The aviator must pass a fairly
scientific examination, and his
Pegasus also must be proved air
worthy. The plane, in fact, is
given an even more careful scruti-
ny than the manor woman.
Pilots are roughly classified as
Industrial" Limited CONNER
cial," or private or Student"
aviators.
If a license is issued to a student
or private pilot, he may not take
up passengers for hire, nor trans
port freight, but he may within
the limits of his own inclination
and the scarcity of landing fields
fly when and where he will. ANY
person 16 years of age or more
who is fit physically, may fly for
his own amusement, if he has an
airplane. To fly for pay yop
must be IS years old, pass even
uore stringent tests as to physi-
cal fitness and mechanical ability.
Before going up, you must seek a
license of the Department of Com
merce, and pass three tests, phys
cal, mental and practical flying.
Practically, the examination
should be taken first, before the
license is procured or the plane

Chain Bridge is an historic span
connecting the District with the
Virginia shore. Closed recently
for repairs, old-timers recalled a
bit of its history.
Once, it seems, President John
Quincy Adams, in company with
General Lafayette, was driving in
the presidential coach to visit for
mel President Monroe at the lat
ter's home in Virginia. Their
route lay across the bridge. In
the gathering dusk the toll-keep-
er at the bridge failed to recognize
the distinguished party and de-
manded his fee. President Adams
paid.
When they had passed, the old
bridge-keeper, learning of his err
ror, chased the carriage on foot
for more than a mile in an effort
to return the toll charges to the
President.

Trucks and commercial cars Ship
ped from all Graham Brothers plants
for the first month of this year total
ed 4,255, as against 3,765 in January
1926, which in turn surpassed all pre-

Now, production has been increased
to 275 units a day, nearing the record

Method of Tempering
Metals Discovered By
NelO Citizen of Tucson

in price, and also in the local and fore
ign production of same
There is no waste of metal in the
dynamic-chemical process Of harden
ing and tempe1ing, as the dynamic
chemical which is used closes the open
porous places in the mass of liquified
metal, and as oxygen contains cleo
irons, therefore the oxygen is COM
pletely removed through the attrac-
ton of the dynamic-chemical action
in the mold when poring into mold,
this making a soliditary mass of metal
that no outside oxide or ETHEREAL ele-
ment may come in contact with same
to rust.
"Any metal that is hardened and
tempered under this formula carries
life guarantee with it not to rust.
AS there are many resources of
metals in this state there are no
reasons but that the city of Tucson
should have foundry for the manu-
facture of hardened and tempered
carpenter tools of copper, such as
hammers, drills, saws picks and shov-
els, mining and oil drilling machinery
with the manufacture and industry
here in Tucson, Arizona"
Cochran offered to make samples
for any one interested in his process.
.Tuscon Star.
Arizona state miner., 1927-03-05

Fred K. Cochran, of Tucson, believes
he has accidentally discovered a
method for hardening or tempering
aluminium, copper, tin, german silver
and brass.
For four years Cochran has been
experimenting with metallurgy in
his cellar in Los Angeles. When
he began using dynamic chemicals
he found he could temper metals,
he says Cochran arrived from
the coast city last week to live in Tue
son.
Although Cochran will not reveal
his formula, he says his general
use of dynamic chemicals which
attract the electrons of the oxygen
in the liquidized metal when
melted, thus making solid mass
of metal instead of a porous ma
terial subject to rust.
Many questions have been
asked in reference to the art of hard
ening and tempering copper and other
metals" Cochran SAID recently. ''It
is noted in the following:
'The cost of one ton of copper or
any other metal under the process
of dynamic chemical hardening and
will be according to the
daily standards of the metallic mar
ket quotations, which rise and lower
