PARK CUTOFF

800 MILES OFF DISTANCE BETWEEN
WEST COAST AND PARKS

A. j. BreltensteIn, Montana vice
president of the Yellowstone Cutoff
association, reports that the new year
Of 1929 holds promise of pronounced
growth of this organization, accord
Ing to the opinion Of william Hanley
of Burns, Ore, president, who has writ
ten to MOntanans directly or indirectly
interested In the work of the assOcia-
ton.
For many months past Mr.. Hanley has
been almost continually travelling about
the country in the interest OF the organi-
cation which he fathers. keeping in touch
with the public officials Of the states
ing meetings OF prominent citizens called
in the various centers along the route to
discuss plans and future possibilities.
Although the Yellowstone Cutoff asso-
citation has been in existence a scant
seven months. SO much progress has been
made nat 1t has been commented on by
many men Of wide experience in highway
promotion.
tt Is the opinion of the residents along
this route as well as the friendly attitude
Of the highway officials Of Montana,
Idaho, Oregon and California toward the
development that has been framed by
the Yellowstone cutoff association, that
gives Mr.. Hanley confidence in progress
this year.
Cuts Mileage to Coast
I'VE are ushering In the year, 1929,
with an enviable record OF things ac-
complished," says Mr.. Hanley. Let us
look forward to It's close one year from
now, when we shall have accomplished
even more n greater things OF which
we may justly be proud"
The Yellowstone cutoff extends from
northern California, through eastern Ore
gon across Idaho and enters Montna at
West Yellowstone. 1t Is this route tina
cuts off approximately 800 miles or one
day for those motorists from California
to Yellowstone park and other Montana
points and likewise creates q shorter route
from this state to San Francisco via
Boise.

WHISKY MASH
CLOGS SEWER
GREAT FALLS CITY DEPARTMENT
CALLED TO REMOVE OBSTRUC-
TION FROM DRAIN

Persons engaged i'm the somewhat
hazardous. albeit profitable, business OF
manufacturing intoxicating liquors Will

Falls by not dumping mash In sewers,
for this practice has cost the city from
$50 to $75 for labor, clOgged a W I'm

si0ner has declared.
The clogging OF the First alley south
sewer between Seventh and Fights streets
was discovered when the basement OF
the new Chevrolet Motor sales agency
building at Central avenue and Eighth
street was flooded. The water in some
places, according to Commissioner Giltn,
was eight inches deep.
Operations TX correct the condition
were started ia the sewer opening at
Seventh and Eighth streets and it was
later ascertained that the clogged sewer
was due to the dumping Of whisky mash.
When the cleaning work was completed
it was estimated by Commissioner Gillfn
that between 20 and 25 bushels Of corn,
used in the mash, had been removed from
the at cost Of from $50 to $75.
The operations were continued for
more than 48 hours before the sewer vas
f~unctioning properly and the continued
fermentation of the mash after its re
moval from the ducts was such as TO
send a distinct moonshine odor over a
considerable section IN the vicinity OF
Central avenue and Fights street. Pumps
were used by the street department to
keep Easements free from water until tho
was cleared.
They Wasted a Lot
1t is felt probable that the mash was
dumped into the sewer at the First alley
south and Eighth street sewer manhole
and thn d.1mninr nporotipnc nrOhohly

The rapid accumulation Of fermented
corn gradually acted to create a deposit
that could not be move by the stream
of water clearing the sewer.

pertaining to distilleries. it was stated,
1t was necessary that six gallons of whisky
be produced for every bushel of corn.
The experts viewing the accumulation Of
mash estimated that not more than three
gallons of whisky was removed per bushel
which wOuld result in an economic loss.

and thoughtless distiller h emptied

No Action Possible
Due to the fact that city officials are
unable to determine who deposited the
mash in the sewer, ne action can be
taken to secure payment for The labor
charges and for damages. If this person
was known, 1t was stated, an action could
be commenced n the city reimbursed
for its trouble.

A young woman en- route last June
from Pennsylvania to Butte stopped
over for a change of trains in Chicago
and had her purse stolen while walt
ing in the depot. She lost not only her
change but her ticket and was COM

so odd dollars, the value of the ticket
which had been stolen. This Is the
modern railway methods.
The loss Of the ticket was Immediately
reported at the Chicago depot. The num-
Der Of the ticket was checked through

are OF q great variety. Overshoes, UNI
brellas. books, handbags, shawls, muf-
flers, handkerchiefs, boxes Of candy and
1ewelry are included In the list.
For every man who reports a loss
there are 10 women to complain. Whether
because Of greater experience IN travel

A detachment of 20 or 80 negro soldiers

OAKLAND WILL
DEMONSTRATE

Following the close Of the highly
successful General Motors Spring
Showing" week, L. p. Steuart, local
oakland.P Pontiac dealer, announced
today the launching Of vigorous
demonstration campaign during May.
This program, Mr.. Steuart ex-
planned, is in response to many re-
quests received from visitors to his
show rooms during the spring show
ing, asking for demonstrations of
the new Oakland All-American Six
and the new Pontiac Big Six.
1.-THE distinctive appearance, at.
tractive coIors, unusual body refine.
ments and advanced engineering
features of our two lines Of cars
created decidedly favorable i'm
preston upon the large number of
visitors to our showrooms last
week" he stated. "7'hat the new
cars are as outstanding in perform
ance as in body distinction. we pro-
pose TO demonstrate. throughout the
coming month.
I'VE have records of many tests
already made at various sections
Of the country and at General Mo-
tors Proving Ground, at Milford.
Mich, which reveal unusual acceler-
alton, deceleration and high sus-
tained top speed. These same quail
tiles we are going to demonstrate
on the hills and highways in our
section so that local residents may
see for themselves the type of per-
Torrance which we could only tell
them about during the spring show
ing.
Reports received from other sec.
tions of the country tell how both
the new All-American and the Pom
tiac Big Six have hung up what
we believe to be records in their
price classes"

AND TIRE
PRODUCTION
DECREASED

DETROIT, May las the month
.of April closes, two slight deviations
are noted in the hitherto unprece-
dented pace of the automotive in
dustry in general, according to B.
H. Cram, president of Grams Auto.
motive Reports, Inc, industry au-
thority.
The more pronounced of these
occurs in the tire manufacturing
division; the other in passenger car
production.
In each of these, slight declines
are noted, although the deviation Is
so small that output has not been
affected appreciably. In the tire
field the slack occurs in ordering
of original equipment tires by car
manufacturers. Offsetting this con-
dition, however, are marked in
crehses in consumer buying and
dealer ordering.
Lower Prices Seen
Possibility of price reductions in
the tire field is seen, in case the
consumer buying should be slowed
up by bad weather conditions over
a prolonged period cf time. With
the price of rubber remaining firm
at 20 cents, however, there is no
indications that prices of tires will
be affected in the immediate future.
Production of crude rubber may
govern a price change later, when
it becomes apparent that the output
for the year will be more than the
market can absorb. Consumer buy
ing should continue to increase
throughout the summer and this
will aid materially the preclusion of
such a condition occurring.
Industry At Peak
A current slight decline in pas
senger car production will not pre-
vent the total for the month attain
ing record proportions. However
in May a seasonable curtailment
may be evident The situation in
general shows the industry at 81
peak.
Sales of passenger cars, both new
and used, even evidence increases
in comparison with recent reports
Stocks remain high to normal.
In spite of the above changes
in tires and passenger cars, truck
production, usually reflecting any
deviation in the industry in gen.
eral, maintains it's present high
levels. Heavy duty vehicles are in
heavy demand and all influences
point to a maintenance of this
condition.
