When Mr.. Ziegfeld announced
that the "Follies" would be no
more. it is barely possible he was
piQued at the mountain of liabili-
ties which his last Follies venture
created. 1t opened at the New
Amsterdam Theater on August
the road at Philadelphia, January
Z, 1928, since Eddie Cantor was
unable to continue because of i'll
ness. Washington was one of
the cities cheated out of it's chance
to see the latest glorified beauties,
the show being booked for the
National Theater. The produc-
ton cost was 1854 900 and most
of its comedy was fashioned
around the frivolous doings of Mr..
Cantor. Many can initiate Eddie
but none could be found to take
his place when the comedian felt
out of sorts. Accordingly Mr..
Ziegfeld called the production in
and was forced to pay 5000 in
salaries to his cast for an idle
week. Such misfortune is enough
to make any producer make rash
remarks and FIorenz unburdened
himself of the news there would
be no more Follies.
Otto Kahn, who is somewhat of
a giant in Wall Street, as well as
a generous patron of the arts,
is credited with being the indi-
viduaI responsible for persuading
Mr.. Ziegfeld to change his mind. 1t
t. l. Il
gifted son, Roger Wolf Kahn had
some influence with the financier
in bringing pressure to bear on
the Follies king. Young Kahn
writes lyrics and music besides
directing a string of orchestras.
Gle wrote among other things,
"Ain't She Sweet" which the
radio dinned last winter until it
became a, repititious bore.) The
youthful Kahn is scheduled to pro-
vide some of the tunes for the
new Follies.
1t is too early to mention who
will be in the new show but
propitious time to announce that
ii will not be built around any
one individual, no matter how
talented.

Mr.. Pollock is an author who
believes in his own product and
stimulates interest in his plays by
engaging in literary controversies
with those who dissent. In other
words, he thriveS on debate, and so

ceeded to show that they spoke
with no convincing authority or

boiled and the queques began to

same policy was followed. with not
such marked success. when The

on Broadway. Pollock sold The

REPUBLICANS OF
MONTANA REFLECT
OLD COMMITTEES
Lanstrum Again Envoy; No
Endorsement of
Candidate

With every outward indication of
party harmony, the republican state
central committee met yesterday in
Helena, reelected its national COM
mittee members, Endorsed the pres
ent national administration and adj
journed. Opportunities for oratory
were few and confined to the nominat-
ing and acceptance speeches.
The only manifestation of division
of sentiment appeared in the voting
for national committeewoman. Elec-
ton of DR.. O. M. Lanstrum as ma
tional committeeman was unanimous.
Mrs. George H. Berry of Great Falls
was reelected to the other place on
the national body by vote of 3712
to 1872, over Mrs. Margaret Rosza
of Butte, a former member of the
federal prohibition enforcement staff.
There was no suggestion of desire
to indorse any of the republicans
seeking the presidential nomination.
Twenty of the Sc state commit
teemen were present IN person and
only Garfield was unrepresented.
In his speech of acceptance, DR..
Lanstrum asserted that the party
will present united front in the
elections this year.
Attorney John G. Skinner was one
of the Carbon county delegates.

so 12o,ooo,ooo PEOPLE MAY KNOW

A few words with regard to the
status of the proposed Red Lodge
Cooke City road, in an endeavor to
give the standing of the proposition
at the present time, will not be amiss
to our readers. The following is
written in fairness and there is no
thought of bitterness when it is
learned that this road not only will
open and develop the rich inland town
Of Cooke City, but the 120,00O,0OO
citizens of the United States can visit
the most beautiful and little known
Beartooth mountains. This will also
include the countless millions of peo-
pie of the world and also the neigh
boring sister state of Wyoming.
0. H. P. Shelley, owner of this
newspaper, has been in Washington,
D. c., for the past five months, not
only representing the city of Red
Lodge, but all Of the countless people
enumerated above. He has worked
hard in properly presenting this prof.
ect and he at all times has had the
undivided support of Senator B. K.
Wheeler, Senator Thomas j. Walsh
and Hon. Scott Leavitt. These Mon
tana statesmen have also had wonder
full help at all times from the repre-
sentative republicans and democrats
of other states throughout the United
States.
1t is not Red Lodge proposition,
although it had to be sponsored by
our townspeople. 1t is national in
scope. The bill has been bitterly OPP
posed in Washington by group of
towns in Wyoming, doubtless with a
reasonable excuse on their part-but
it is felt that it is rather a selfish
move as they are not being enroached
upon IN any monetary way The
road, while trifle over half of it will
lie in Wyoming, does not take any
public funds that might or ever could
be used in that state.
Funds for the building of the high
way would come from special APP
preparation, according to Senate Bill
5. 1874, and not from forest or high
way funds. This is unique, perhaps,
but was Incorporated in the bill so as
to forestall the present agitation.
A permanent location survey was
made of the proposed highway last
summer and the bill as being pre-
sented in both the house and senate
is not estimated as to cost, but is
made from the figures of engineers
of the bureau of public roads. These
figures are in such shape that con-
tracts can be let for the building of
the road at any time. There is no
guess work, it is an actually surveyed
route by government engineers.
Therefore, there is no use in any
person or group Of persons talking
other impractical routes. They are
dreams as far as this proposition is
concerned. 1t is this highway OF
none.

FOREST WEEK TO
BE CELEBRATED
BY U. S., CANADA

American forest week, April 22 to
%, will be observed in the United
States and Canada will observe
Canadian forest week during the
same period. An international ex-
change of speakers is being planned
to give special interest and emphasis
to this important matter in several
cities of the two sister nations.
Among the points to be discussed by
these leading citizens will be the
benefits to agriculture, industry and
commerce and national life that will
result from making all forest lands
fully productive of continuous timber
crops.
President Coolidge has designated
this period "for public discussion of
our forests and of what must be done
to safeguard and restore them" He
emphasized particularly the need of
suppressing the forest fire evil.

unfriendliness of the sister state to
the best interests of Cooke City. I'm
fairness has also been developed to
such an extent that unseemly state
ments have been uttered and printed
and we have one newspaper on file
which states that sWyoming's opposi-
ton to the road based upon the fact
that So miles of the route is in Wyo-
ming" This is printed in paper
of Wyoming in which county the road
does lie. Another Carbon county
paper prints statement that the bill
is for $9,000,000.
Of course both of these statements
may be Typographical" errors, but
the facts are evidently overlooked in
an endeavor to prejudice the issue.
The highway as surveyed is actually
IL miles in length; little better
than actually half lies in Wyoming;
the highest point reached is exactly
10,960 feet; the maximum grade is 5
per cent with the exception of 1900
feet which reaches the maximum of
512 per cent.
On Thursday of last week the SEN
ate committee voted to pass Bill S.
1874 for passage and Senator Sam q.
Bratton of New Mexico was directed
to write the report for the commit
tee. He had attended the meetings
held in March and is conversant with
the entire situation.
At the meeting held Thursday an
attempt was made to refer the bill
to the committee on public lands.
This attempt was defeated by Sen
ator Smith w. Brookhart of Iowa and
Senator Lynn J. Frazier of North
Dakota,
A letter from Mr.. Shelley states:
Senator B, K. Wheeler of Montana
took an active part in lining up the
committee on post offices and post
roads. While the bill was Senator
Walsh's, the senator himself was COM
PEELED to be out of the city, and his
colleague took the brunt of the fight.
This bill is identical to H. R. Bill
1924, introduced by Congressman
Leavitt.
Both Senator Walsh and Senator
Wheeler appeared before the house
committee to assist Congressman
Leavitt in his hearing. In turn, Con
gresham Leavitt appeared before the
senate committee to assist Senator
Walsh in the hearing on his bill
"There has been perfect co-opera-
tion between the Montana senators
and Congressman Leavitt on the Red
Lodge Cooke City matter. 1t is an
ticipated that within the next few
days the house will report out the

Continuing, Mr.. Shelley gave out
the following to the newspapers in
the capitol "The matter will be
kept continually before congress until
favorable action is taken on the
matter"
