LEWIS AND CLARK
CAVERN RIVAL OF
MAMMOTH CAVE

A few miles from the southern
boundary of Jefferson county is To-
Gated a national monument which
very few Montanans know of and
fewer have visited, says the state di-
vision of publicity. This cavern is
called the Lewis and Clark cavern
and is said to rival the famous Mann
moth cave of Kentucky which hun
dreds of tourists visit every year and
about which every child who studies
United States geography is told.
This cavern which for years has
been known to people living in the
vicinity from Bozeman to Butte as
Morrison's cave, was discovered in
1901 by Dave A. Morrison of White
hall. The land on which the forma-
tion was found happened to be a part
Of mineral claim on which Morrison
held patent. The Northern Pacific
railway which held a right of way
grant along the Jefferson river,
claimed the land on which the cave
was located, which was unsurveyed
at the time of its discovery. The
railway after obtaining a quit claim
deed to the land transferred it to the
United States department of the in
terror. The cavern was created a ma
tlonal monument May II, 1908 and
the name changed from Morrison's
cave to Lewis and Clark cavern. A
second proclamation establishing this
was issued by President
Taft on May 16, 1911.
The cave is located at point about
five miles from the transcontinental
motor highway, the Yellowstone trail,
near the town of Cardwell.
The wonders contained in Lewis
and Clark cavern have been described
by geologists as among the most mar
velous mineral and rock formations
n America. Rooms filled with weird
and grotesque shapes arranged on
either side of winding stream are
'ollowed by high arched chambers
decorated by pillars of stalactites and
'talagmites of pure white and walls
If crystal filigree work that make
he description fairy palaces" true
md fitting.
The chamber of commerce at White
lall held community meeting re-
emily in the interest of tourist
ravel to the cave. Once this cave is
pened to the public thousands of
'eople will travel there to see and ex-
,lore this one of Montana's many
Wonder spots was the concensus of
pinion at the meeting.

President Calvin Coolidge

tude. Persons in close contact with
the Republican leadership professed
the utmost surprise when they learned
of Mr.. Coolidge's action, which struck
out of a clear sky.
A number of cabinet officers are
out of Washington and those at the
Capital City had taken the afternoon
off to go to the American league
baseball park to do honor to Walter
johnson on the twentieth anniversary
of his entry into major league base
ball.
Nevertheless, the presidents brief
statement was flashed about as if by
magic, and within half an hour after
it was made, the politically minded
were besieging newspaper offices for
its exact text, and within an hour it
was evident that dispute over it's in
depreciation was well under way.
Those who choose to believe the
president had eliminated himself,
turned to other possibilities, while
those who held the opposite view in
sisted that the question whether he
would or would not be a candidate in
1928 remained far from settled. Their
argument they bolstered with the as
sertion that there had been predic-
tions by Mr.. Coolidges friends that
he would be drafted as the Republi-
can candidate, regardless of his own
wishes.
Mr.. Coolidge will have served five
years and seven months at the close
Of the four-year term, to which he was
elected in 1924, having entered the
White House in 1928, upon the death
of President Harding. 1t was Just
four years ago that Mr.. Coolidge was
the central figure in an event of
worldwide interest when he took the
oath of office by light of an oil lamp
in the Vermont home of his father.
There are few things within reason
that Mr.. Coolidge could have done
which would have caused more COM
plete surprise here than his brief an
nouncement Tuesday. 1t is safe to say
that no single person with him had
the slightest inkling of what was go
ing to happen.
Barring condolences, which seem un-
likely, the presidents intentions were
unknown to all up to noon Tuesday,
except himself and his confidential
stenographer, Erwin Geiser. The latter
was called into Mr.. Coolidge's room
shortly before IL o'clock and instruct
ed to type the message, which Mr..
Coolidge dictated.
How long the president had under
consideration the course he pursued
Tuesday doubtlessly will not be dis
closed unless he chooses to discuss the
incident with his friends.
This was the day on which he closed
four years in the White House and
not long before his statement was

ministration had left with the coun-
try had been discussed at the summer
White House.
Rapid City, S. D. President
Coolidge Tuesday issued the simple
statement that 81 do not choose to
run for president in 1925" taking his
close associates by complete surprise.
This typewriter announcement was
handed to newspaper men by Mr..
Coolidge in his executive office at
noon Tuesday, and a faint smile light
ed his face as he replied to the
astounded group that there was no
comment.
The fourth anniversary of his taking
the oath of office upon the death of
Warren G. Harding, was selected by
the president for making the an
nouncement which Tuesday night
seemed to have lighted the fires of
the 1928 political campaign.
But as the wires buzzed through
out the remainder of the day with
comment of Democrat as we'll as Re-
publican political leaders throughout
the nation, Mr.. Coolidge retreated
alone to the quietude of his favorite
fishing hole near the state game lodge
where he is spending the summer.
The statements wording seemed to
have left some political leaders still
specializing Tuesday night whether
Mr.. Coolidge would be brought into
the approaching campaign.
Significance was attached here to
the comment of William M. Butler,
personal political manager Of Mr..
Coolidge in the preconvention cam
paign of 1924. He declared:
II am not convinced he will not run
if renominated." Mr. Butler, as chair
man of the Republican national com
mittee, has retained his close personal
contact with the president.
