CROWDS WILL GREET
LINObERGH At FAIR
Colorful Program is Planned for
the Arrival of I'm
mortal I'VE"

Helena-Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh, the first man to complete a
nonstop flight from N. Y. to Paris
will be greeted when he brings the
"Spirit of st. Louis" to rest on the
Montana State fair grounds field
during fair week, by the greatest
crowd ever attending a Montana State
fair.
The coming of Colonel Lindbergh
to the annual exposition was announ-
ced by Governor j. E. Erickson after
receipt of a message from John D.
Ryan, board member. of the Guggen-
helm Foundation sponsoring Colonel
Lindbergh's visit to Montana. Plans
for the reception to be accorded the
worlds greatest flyer" have been
under way in Helena and have as
sumed proportions said to be unequal
led III the history of the fair, with the
city and county cooperating with state
officials. Plans call for the largest
ir meet ever held in Montana with fif
teen planes participating.
Colonel Lindbergh's arrival at Hell
ena will add another great name to the
list of Montana State fair visitors who
have taken part in the celebration Of
the states annual exposition. Pres
ident William Howard Taft addressed
the Montana crowd in 1909 and Of
ficially opened the fair, while James
j. Hill was also a fair guest. In 1913
President Woodrow Wilson, surround
ed by Montanans in the government
service at Washington, flashed the
message to the governor of Montana,
that declared the Eleventh Annual
Montana State fair open while Will
liam Jennings Bryan gave the opening
address in 1916 with people from all
over Montana coming in by special
trains.
The history making trip that Col.
Lindbergh, then Major in the Mis-
souri, National guard, began on last
May 20, brought him into world prom
inence and established him in the
heart of every nation as the greatest
and most daring of flyers.
Probably no greater ovations have
ever been given to a single man than
was accorded Lucky" Lindbergh both
in Europe and America and daily
press reports carry the progress of
his nationwide fight, which will
eventually bring him to the Montana
State fair, as being greeted by the
largest crowds ever assembled in the
cities which he visits.
The Carbon County news., 1927-08-18

Late in the afternoon of July 10,
1905, small band of intrepid ex-
plorers urged its boats up the rapid
current of the Missouri river near the
present city of Helena and found it
self confronted with a peculiar rock
formation which entirely obscured
their view of what lay beyond. Not
only the natural curiosity of the ex-
plorers, but the sudden change of the
formation from native rock to lime
stone impelled them to continue their
journey and find out what lay before
them and what was to be their task
for the next day. This band of men
was the famous Lewis and Clark ex-
pedition to the northwest and had for
its purpose the exploration of the
Louisiana purchase made by President
Thomas Jefferson.
Rounding the iutting rock which
had concealed the further course of
the river the party found itself con-
fronted with narrow canyon and
steep walls which permitted them to
continue up the river only through the
medium of dragging their boats be-
hind them while they waded up to
their necks in the cold water of the
Missouri About a mile up the river
they found break in the steep walls
and space sufficiently wide for them

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

GA. R. B. says: Il want to put
in an underground antenna for sum-
mer use. What length of wire should
be used and in which direction should
it run for best results %
Ans.-For best results it is neees-
sary to use different wires for differ
ent wavelengths. Also the direction of
the stations should determine the di-
rection of the underground wires.
For general results it would be best
to use several lengths of wire in each
Of the two main directions. These
may then be connected with the set
singly, or in combination to produce
the. best results for given station.
The wire should have about the same
length as the wavelength of the sta
ton to be received

were they with the peculiar formation
and realizing that at last they had
come to the beginning of the Rocky
Mountains they named the entrance
to the canyon "The Gate of the
Mountains Their maps and the sew
eral paragraphs devoted in Captain
Meriwether Lewis journal to a des-
cription of the peculiar formation of
the canyon have located beyond a
doubt the exact spot where camp was
made that night.
Commemorating this event Orc
Fino chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution dedicated a tab
let to the memory of the Lewis and
Clark expedition on July 10, 1927, ex-
actly one hundred and twenty-five
years from the day that Captain Lewis
spent the night in Meriwether canyon.
More than 200 citizens of the state
witnessed the dedicatory exercises.
The tablet was furnished by the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
and is made Of native copper. It is
beautifully designed and splendid

takes in marking the places where the
outstanding historical events of Mon

In the past twenty centuries
pearls, and pearl collections have
gained fame through their in
trinsic value and because of their
magic lure to those who owned
them or coveted their possession.
CLEOPATRA PEARLS-Next to
that pearl of great price" men,
toned by Christ, were the two
pearls which Pliny says were worn
in the ears of Cleopatra. The writer
does not tell their size, but states
their value as 60,000,0 900 sesterii.
History relates how one of these
pearls was dissolved by Cleopatra
and swallowed in a wager with
Anthony. After the death of the
queen the other pearl YVES cut in
half and hung in the ears Of Venus
of Rome. 1t is estimated that the
remaining pearl is valued at about
$225 900.

F|REMEN HURT IN
COKE PLANT FIRE
Ladderman Gets Nose Brok-
en-Chief Burned.

A gas explosion in the cupola of
experimental building of the Char
Products Company, st. Clair st. and
Miley Ave, caused a second alarm
fire at a. m. today.
Loss was estimated at $4,000.
Fireman Leo Bodkins, Squad l.,
fire headquarters company, received
q fractured nose when a chemical
tank being carried up a ladder to-
the cupola, struck him. Bodikns was
treated by other firemen and re-
manned on the scene. Fire Chief
Jesse Hutsell was painfully burned
on the neck when hot piece of coke
lodged in his coat collar.
The plant, occupying the former
home Of the Republic Creosoting
Company, is owned by that concern.
A. L. Lauth, secretary and treasurer,
said reconstruction was to start at
once.
Hutsell said the blaze probably ORR
ginated from gas fumes thrown off
by coke being ground. The building

was confined inside the cupola until
it collapsed.
How much loss was inflicted on
the machinery was not known. A

was damaged. Firemen say the pull

Mostil Has Fighting F.,
Chance to Recover
BIZ United Press

a
SHREVEPORT, La, March 10. -
Johnny Mostil, star outfielder of the
Chicago White SoX, who attempted
suicide by slashing his wrists, legs
and chest, today had a fighting
chance for life.
Bulletins early this morning said
he was showing some Improvement
and that he possibly would recover.
He is able to talk and has indicated
a desire to get we'll and perhaps re-
turn to baseball.
Doctors, however, are skeptical
whether he ever will again be able
to play, should he recover. A deep
cash in his wrist may prevent his
holding a bat naturally and may Sc
riously interfere with his ball play
ing.
Ray Schalk, manager of the White
Sox, is almost in constant attend
ance with the stricken athlete.
The White Sox trained yesterday,
despite the fact one of their COM
rades is near death, and indicated a
spirit of carrying-on.
