Madsen Graves For Silence

we will only quit calling attentio
to the facts. Frank also suggests
that il The Producers News would

Winters and Oscar Collins and ov-

friendly bootleggers who come
across, are allowed 10 operate and
the rest of them put out of bust.

would be fine and dandy-for Os-
car and Corporal Winters. The
Grier homebrew arrangement at
Brush Lake is the ideal one. If
the Producers News would just ov-
erlook the racket, Winters would
only come TO TOWN on business"
and when necessary to "lSnock ov-
err" the little upstairs.
But The Producers News Is not
going to do anything Of the sort.
This paper does not care whether
Winters comes here and raids the
places or not. He can come as Of.

long as he likes. It intends to con.

A SPECIALIST SPEAKS

Bozeman, Sept. 30.-Because of
lower freight rates from Canadian
points to seaboard shipping term

has a better reputation on world
markets than export wheat from

More Or Less True

A husband wishes his wife could learn to introduce him to another woman, so it would sound more like Don't you wish you had drawn prize like this?" and less like an apology.

This Is probably one of the penaties that must be paid for excluding the minority members of the committees when Iegis- lation is formed Senator Borah is receiving earnest cooperation from Senator Swanson ranking minority member of the Senate Foreign Reationa Committee But Senator Swanson was in at the hearings and the meetings at which the committee formulated it's report.

Rivalry for Presidential WeekEnds.
lNew York Times ]


 President Coolidges plea for Summer retreat near Washington where harassed Presidents could find occasional rest and recration during the hot weather has met with wide popular response. AL ready a number of bills have been introduced in Congress to further the plan
 Some of them reflect local zeal to make capital out of Presidential vacations MT Beers of Pennsylvania would be glad to see the Presi- dent have Summer residence" provided it can be located at Buena Vista, Pa. MT. Golf of West Virginia would go SD far as to have Con gross appropriate $50O,000 for country White House.' with the understanding incorporated in his bill, that the money shall be expended for purchasing a site in West Virginia.
 Not to be outdone, MT. Taylor of Colorado proposes two Summer White Houses one in New England and the other in the Rockies But that is not at all what the President had in mind He made it clear in his letter to The St. Louis Post Dispatch that what he sought was not q Summer White House. in the strict sense but d somewhat less pretentious retreat close to the capital itself but away from it's atmosphere climatic and psychological, where he could snatch few days rest now and then.
 This would obviously have to be ill one of four states: Maryland, Pennsylvania West Vir- ginia or Virginia.

Before that body the neighborng States could sing the respective praises of their rival resorts.

The Byrd Expedition.
(Cincinati Enquirer. )


 That Commander Byrds expedition to the South Pole is not spectacular swift is tribute to it's great value ultimately. Occasion ally an epochal advance in science is likewise spectacular, such as Lindbergh's flight to Paris, but more often progress is made in laborious and unheralded striyings. The Byrd expedition into Antaretica is immense undertaking and will require perhaps two years. The party includes an imposing array of scientists each of whom has definite and important task of observation and investigation
 It is in this fashion, efficiently organized search, that additions made so scientific knowledge That the task before these men will require sterling human courage, amending forti- tude, is undenable. In this way the final log or the expedition will have great intrinsic in terest as the chronicle of mans triumph over obstacles. But more important, from a broad perspective is the mass of carefully gathered data that will be methodically recorded in long reports unreadable to the layman until digested by teehniciaps and interpreted by agile writers for the rest of us

JIM FOZARD'S BRIDGE AGAIN-READl
 IN JULY.

The Ambassador Bridge, in course of con struction between Detroit and Canada by com panies of which James L. Fozard formerly an Alaska mining engineer and we'll known in Juneau is General Manager will be completed In July of the present year # is announced This is the second time the date for completion of that bridge has been advanced so much faster than contemplated has the work been driven The middle of August 19SO was the first date set for the completion of the structure Last April it WIS formally announced in printed matter that the bridge would be completed by the late fail of 1929. and the builders took a great deal If pride in making the announce ment of the earlier opening date It has now been advanced again to July, 1929.
 The bridge, which is enc of the largest ever built is attracting lot of attention. It re- gently inspired the following editorial in tho Cincinnati Enquirer, written under the heading "The Ambassador Bridge"
 From Detroit to Sandwich ontario spanning the broad Detroit River, in a single great curve, the Ambassador Bridge is being constructed This most recent and most daring coup Of engineer ing science IS to be a bridge two miles long wide enough for five lanes of trafic and a generous sidewalk, the main span of which is 1850 feet-eyen longer than the bridge recently opened Philadelphia. After it's opening, seueduleu TOT July, l9z9, millions or automobiles will cross il annually. talk ing the shorter foute to Niagara and New England from Detroit, Chicago or the West
 As engineering feat it has great intrinsic interest And as a landmark in the story of North American operation and harmony it is profoundly important. The long central span is to be supported by cables each made up of more than 7,500 wires of tested steel, the cable diameter being some 19 inches.

limited quota of sunshine, open air and

Their owners utilize valuable nat

they do so gratis, at the expense OF
neighboring buildings OF less stature,
which in the process are condemned to
perpetual confinement among the
