BOTH POLITICAL
PARTIES TO BE
FOR DRY LAW

Organized opposition to the pro-
gram of the Montana drys In initial
ing state prohibition law providing
for enforcement of the national pro-
hibition act, is not expected to ma
terialize, according to statement by
representatives of the Montana Pro-
hibition Initiative league. This eX-
pectation is the result of the action on
the prohibition question taken by both
the republican and democratic parties
at their national conventions.
Both parties are pledged to enforce
ment of the eighteenth amendment
and laws made to put it into effect.
The Montana proposal is in direct
line with this attitude, it is pointed
out. 1t anticipates enactment into
Montana law of the provisions OF the
Volstead act. The national law would
be the law of Montana and the Mon
tana law would be automatically
changed when the national law was
modified or amended.
Leaders of the vets in Montana are
so closely identified with either one or
the othen of the two political parties
that organized action on their part In
opposition to the platform declaration
would by national leaders be
termed inconsistent with the party
declaration, it is pointed out by the
drys.
Leaders in both political parties are
expected to support the proposed
initiative measure in this state, as the
result of their party declarations II
favor of law enforcement and specl-
fically for enforcement of the eight
eenth amendment and the laws which
have put it into force.

SALTWATER POOL
WILL SHIP WOOL

The Saltwater pool of Carbon coun-
~ will make their yearly shipment of
wool from Roberts on Monday, July
IS. Two hundred and sixty thousand
pounds Of wool will be shipped this
year, which is 5000 pounds more than
was shipped last year. The price this
year is 51a cents more on the pound
than last year.
The wool trade is slow, according
10 market reports. Purchases are
made on the basis Of immediate needs
and the volume is limited because of
the fact that dealers are now deliver
ing to the manufacturers wool to COW
er purchases made earlier in the sea-
son. Apparently, these woods satisfy
current requirements. Prices realized
on current sales, however, are on the
basis Of values quoted.

MORE ACTIVITY In
YELLOWSTONE PARK

Unusual thermal activity, which
has been reported in Yellowstone Ma
tional park during the present tourist
season, reached a climax with the
eruption of Fountain geyser on June
"a. This geyser, which has been
looked upon as extinct for the last two
years, suddenly came to life on that
date and threw out column of water
rs feet in height for period of Is
minutes. Fountain geyser is not to
be confused with the Great Fountain
geyser, which has been erupting at
regular intervals.
In addition to the eruption of the
Fountain geyser, huge new hot
spring has broken forth in the bottom
of the Yellowstone river near Mud
volcano on the road from Yellowstone
lake to the Grand Conyon of the Vel
lowstone. The new boiling spring is
throwing out a milky white hot
water, which gives whitish tinge tc
the river at this point.
Other phenomenal activity is re-
ported with the regular eruption Of
the Butterfly ge.ser, which has moi
been seen in action for long period
Riverside geyser has been UNUSUAL!
active this spring and all the geysers
of the Upper Geyser basin have beer
erupting with great frequency. OLE
Faithful, the most written of, talked
of, and photographed geyser in thu
world, is still holding to its regula
schedule of an eruption every 65 min
utes. Evidence Of the fact that thi
geyser has lost none Of its popularit,
with the passing of years may b
drawn from the huge crowds to b
seen near it's crater awaiting eacl
eruption throughout the day.
