A budget of S1,6t1,G 600 has been

Mountain States Telephone and Tel
egraph company for improvements

uing aim in view of providing the most
and best possible service at the least
possible cost consistent with financial
safety, Mr.. Henderson said.

of the long distance service q con-
siderable portion of this years eXpendi-
ture will be used to provide additional
circuits to accommodate the present
and anticipated long distance traffic.
All new circuits will be Of copper wire.
providing clearer voice transmission,
and existing iron circuits will be re-
placed with copper in many instances.
About $513 800 will be devoted to ex-
tending and improving the long dis
lance facilities in Montana this year.
The year already has seen a SUBJ
stantial reduction in day rates on sta

WILL DEVELOP
CHROME FIELD
GENERATOR NEAR RED LODGE
SOME TIME THIS YEAR
nj. 4. Martin, Who Has 25 Claims Con-
tanning Mineral Which Is Extensively
Used in Steel Production, Under
Option to Eastern Manufacturers.

Development in the chrome in
dustry i'm Carbon county within the
next few months has a bright future
and outlook, according to M. E. Mar
tin, who has an option to 25 claims
Is miles south of Red Lodge and who
is now doing annual assessment work.
MIR. Martin is confident that east
crn capital will be ready to take ac-
ton in the next few weeks. Claims
MI. Martin has control of are under
option to an eastern company with
unlimited resources but reports are
that the options will expire April !
and hat a Chicago firm is DESTROYS
in securing control to start immediate
development work.
1t is understood that this company
will build a concentration at the mouth
of Hell Roaring creek on Rock creek,
using either natural gas from Dry creek
gas fields nearby or electricity for
fuel.
THE chrome deposit that I have
under option now is one of the largest
in the United States" says Mr.. Martin.
"A government engineer recently csti-
mated that one deposit contains more
than 100000 tons of ore in sight
There are 20 different veins on my Hell
Roaring creek holdings, varying from
one to so feet in width.
THE chrome belt in Carbon county
is Approximately 10 miles square, cX-
tending from Patterson gulch to Lost
pickett eulch, 10 or - miles. This
belt extends to the Wyoming line in
one direction. The general belt, how
ever, IS immense in size. extending
from Boulder river, BIG Timber, to the
Wyoming line, including the Dillon
Fry clam IN Saltwater county at
Limestone.
For the last - months / have been
running tunnels in the deposits, doing
my annual assessment work." Mr.. Mar
tin continued. Il have completed
about l40 feet of prospect tunnels and
all indications show high grade ore.
All ore taken from the tunnels is being
retained in bins"
Three years ago 80 tons OF chrome ore
from these claims was shipped to
Youngstown, o., to undergo a test in
manufacturing steel. Results were
satisfactory. Mr.. Martin explained a
few processes in which chrome is used
in steel manufacturing. One of the
general uses of the ore is in lining
blasting furnaces as this ore is the
only II known that will withstand
the terrific heat iron ore is heated
TO produce steel. Ovens are lined with
chromite and it must remain in there
from nine to 80 days, under a steady
and tremendous heat. Another process
in general s in manufacturing high
grade steel is by grinding chrome ore
into a flour form and mixing it with
iron ore.
According to chemists and assayers'
reports on Carbon county chrome de-
posts the ore contains 81 per cent
chronic oxide, which is high grade
for chrome ore.

BRADLEY DODGE FEATURED
 IN SEATTLE STAR ARTICLE

Bradley Dodge. former teacher in the Wrangell schools, and princi- pal of the grade school. where Mrs. Dodge was also teaching. was fea- tured in an article in the Seattle Star of March 27. 4 very good likeness of Mir. Dodge heads the ar ticle and underneath the picture ap- pears the eaption;s ogre? No, Com panion! That Is Role of Truant Of ficer." It goes on to say that Mir. Dodge wins the esteem of boys with ball and bat instead of paddle; by playing ball with them on the play fields, and draws a comparison be- tween the days when a truant off cer was feared and summed and the present-day method when an at tempt is made to understand the problem of the boys and girls who play hockey. Many times, MT. Dodge is quoted as saying, attend ance at school is affected by trou- ble at home. Sometimes it is illness and We have nurses to check on this. Sometimes 1t is simply spring fever and then we have to step on it! We find most parents realizing the value of education and regular work at school"
 Mir. Dodge, a great favorite with Wrangell pupils while teaching here, has been a truant officer in the Seattle school system for some time and says he likes the work be- cause he likes children.

BOND ISSUE QUESTIONS
 HEARD ON THE STREET

Q. Haven't we enough school houses nowi
 A. Yes. too many. That is why We want a new one.
 Q. Will my children be put out of the white school if a new build ing is builtl Asked by an Indian lather).
 A. No. All the Wrangen chill dren will pront by a new building. No doubt native children who are eligible will want to attend the Shoemaker Bay school when it is finished because of the advantages there for them, but the public school will not be closed to those who want to attend it.
 Q. Aren't we spending enough money now7
 A. Yes, too much. Ask members of the schoolboard what it costs to use three buildings instead Of one.
 O. Don't you think the govern ment should build our schoolnouses 2
 A. That would be fine. It would also be great if someone would hand us a thousand dollars now and then for loose change. Neither will happen, however, and maybe it is good for us to do some thing for ourselves.
 o. Why don't we start a sinking fund for a schoolhousel
 A. How maRy of us would be satisfied to have our taxes lying idle for years until a sufficient sum is on hand-granting that a sink ing fund is legal? It is better busi- ness to use what we spend extra now to apply on the debt and get the use of the new building while we are paying for 1t.
