has Cut 200 Miles
From Highways
Continued from page y

is constantly growing as traffic in
creases.
The third and largest item is the
saving to the public in the operating
cost of vehicles using the roads. AT
an average operating cost OF 10 cents
per mile, and taking an average OF
500 vehicles per day, using the road,
the daily saving to the public on &C
count of the 200 miles of road shorten
ing already accomplished, is $4,000 or
S3,650,000 per year.
Since the highway mileage will be
nearly doubled in the next four years
if Referendum No. IS passes the Mon
tana Automobile association estimates
that there will be saved at least an
other 200 miles and another $4,000 per
day when the federal-state system is
finished. This money left in the pocket
of the motorist who uses the new short
routes in preference. to the Older long
ones, will more than pay the cost OF the
entire issue of highway warrants each
year.
: Another considerable item OF saving.
which however can only be estimated,
will result to Montana motorists be-
cause of the passage Of the referendum
measure and the subsequent good
roads.
Authorities estimate that the aver
age cost of operating car over un-
improved highways is much greater
than that of operating it on improved
roads, the difference being at least
three cents per mile during the life
of car.
Taking Is cents as the average cost
per mile for operating car over the
ordinary county road, including gaso-
line, tires, depreciation, and other items
entering into the cost of motor trans
portation, it is certain that the cost
would be less than 10 cents a mile on
the states federal aid highways.
Assuming a reduction in operating
costs of three cents per mile, every
motorist in Montana would save $50
for every 1000 miles travelled, were
the roads improved, and this saving
for each of the 10000 cars registered
in Montana would be S4,500,O00 for
every 1000 miles of travel, more than
enough each year, taking the travel on
improved highways alone. to pay for
the entire issue of highway construc-
tion warrants

worst of it. Garrett tells Ingram
that he wants TO keep out of the
war, but is informed he must
take one side or the other. Gar
rett meets Bob QuantreN, young
killer tor Ingram, and an Eng
lishman, Smith Beresford. looking
for a ranch Quantrell saves Car

three become friends. Garrett
witnesses a meeting between In

daughter of Ingram's enemy.
They are lovers. Garrett and the
Englishman buy a ranch with
Steelman as silent partner Fitch,

follower and is pursued by

Origin of the Diamond
Mystery to Scientists

Diamond beds valued at millions
of dollars having been discovered in
recent years along the coast of south
west Africa, the theory of a sub
marine origin of this precious gem
has been advanced, only to be refut-
ed by Investigations.
The first hypothesis was that the
diamond beds were the result of the
disintegration of a submarine pipe,
or vein, off the coast, washed up on
the shore by wave action. But since
the discovery of the Lichtenburg and
Namaqualand deposits much new
evidence has been brought to light,
and the opinion now prevails that
these diamonds are from an inland
source.
"The finest diamonds are found,
and always have been found, in or
near the beds of fresh-water rivers"
a diamond expert is quoted in the
New York Times. "They are not hid
den in ocean bottoms or along sand
beaches unless carried there by tides
and time. In other words, they are
not formed there. Small streams
that have layers of silt and other
material indigenous to known fields
are likely digging places for dia-
monds.
Both in India and Africa, as well
as in Asia, diamonds have been dis
covered in shale and soft rock of
former waterways. In the Kimberley
diamond beds, among the largest and
richest in the world, the natural
crystals were unearthed in a top lay
er of yellow sand. Many prOspectors
who rushed to Africa in 1870 left
after the yellow sand was exhausted
believing the veins or pipes had
been exhausted. But the soft green
rock below the sand yielded more
diamonds. SO did the harder rock
lower down.
'"The trail of the diamond is one
of the most difficult that biologists
have ever tried to follow"

sOmbrerO in a bow TO O'Hara.
You're one sure enough bad-man
buster. I'll be doggOned if Shep
didn't tackle mOren he could ride
herd on that time. an you lookin'
no more dangerous than a brush
rabbit"
Now that this crisis was past
O'Hara felt a little sick and faint.
Lets get outside" he said to his
friend. His desire was to get back
to the safety of the store. Excite
ment no longer buoyed him up. 1t
shook his nerve to think what a
chance he had taken, how he had
staked his life on the audacity of
a swift frontal attack. Not for
moment did he fool himself into the
deluSiOn that he was SandersOn's
equal with a siX-shoOter. The big
man had not been afraid of him,
but of Bob Quantrell and his al
lies. Shep had been obsessed by
the suspicion that they were trying
TO trap him into drawing his weap-
on in order to give them a plaus-
ible reason for shooting him down.
O'Hara and Worrall walked past
Ingram Il Harvey's on their way
down the street. They turned in

Carried Souvenir of
Somme Fourteen Years

The true stories of strange war
wounds are legion, but one of the
most curious concerns a KintOre man,
John Garden, who is employed as a
gardener in Inverurie, Scotland. Mr..
Garden served in France with the
Fourth GordOns, and was wounded
by shrapnel during the battle of the
Somme on August IS, 1916, near
Guillemont. Quite recently, in the
course of his work, Mr. Garden had
occasion to make a heavy lift and
felt a severe pain in the back of his
