STATE COMMISSION
TO LET EAST MONT.
HIGHWAY CONTRACTS

Missoula, Nov. 28.-(SpeciaD-
Bids will be received December g.,
by the state highway commission
for the construction and improve
ment of 22.2 miles of roadway be-
tween Miles City and Baker, in
eastern Montana. The section of
highway for which contracts will
be let comprises about one-third of
the GA miles, which is one of the
longest unimproved gaps of prin-
ciple highways in the state. 1t will
benefit particularly traffic using
U. S. highway No. II.
Montana is divided into 12 high
way districts. The improved road is
located in highway district number
12, which includes the counties of
Rosebud, Custer, Fallon, Carter
and Powder River. Miles City is the
hub of all highways in that dis
trict, which extend west to Billings,
northwest to Jordan, northeast to
Glendive, east to Baker, and south
to Broadus and the Wyoming line.
There are 1865 miles of highway
in this district, 110 miles of which
has not been improved. The first
project was begun in 1919 but it
was only from 1927 to the present
date that any real progress was
made.
Before the three cent tax on
gasoline was levied to derive funds
for the building of roads, only six
projects were under way in the en-
tire district. Now 10 are being
constructed, and many are three
times as large as the original ones

Retail Shops

Helena, Dec. 1.-(AP)-Sales
totaling S240,O82,195 were report
ed to the federal bureau of census
by the 6996 retail establishments
in Montana during 1929.
The record shows 13 stores for
each 1000 of population so that
Montana, with four-tenths of one
per cent of the nations population,
has As hundredths of one per cent
of the total number of retail es-
Establishments and provides 48 hun
dredths of one per cent of the ma
tion's retail business.
These figures, says the census

were. Seven of these were unem-
ployment G m ergency measures,
which arose during the past season.
Federal monies were loaned to the
state for these projects, so that
they might match the federal funds
given them outright.
In projects where federal aid is
given, 56.6 per cent of the cost is
paid by the government and 43.4
per cent is borne by the state, with
the provision that the state keep
the road repaired and in good con-
dition.

ese INVASION In this President Hoover was attacked
and rdicued by the "bera and pacifisc elements for
taking this action Doubtless it was this cynical disregard
OF the kellogg pact which led Japan to believe that world
opinion would sustain her similar violation But the ell
ements in this country which denounced President Hoo
yer for invoking the Kellogg pact in the Russian case
now denounce him because when Japan is nvolvd he will
not commit this country to in order to enforce the
pact OF course behind this attitude is something very
different from genuine interest IN peace in the well
fare of the United States.
Despite the effort to down American patriotism
which has been carried by the pacfsts and liberals
now endeavorng to involve the United States in war
which have had no part in fomentng, Americans are
ready to fight if need be- to defend their country They
not willing to have their sent to foreign battle
fields by nteatonasts or to fight for any other
than that Of safety and honor of their own country

his experiments dealing with
the dating of prehistoric
ruins by means of tree-ring
knowledge.
For some time DR.. Doug
lass has been carrying on eX-
periments along this line in
northern Arizona. 1t was
believed that last summers
work had gone along way to
prove the correctness of his
theory. However, lately he
returned to check over his
collected data and correct a
slight mistake which has
shown up. While here he
worked with John c. Nc
Gregor of the A. S. T. c..

was said that Mr.. McGregor
had much to do with uncOv-
ering the error.
DR.. Douglass has for years
been studying tree-rings in

ditions prevailing at the
time of the formation of the
rings. 1t was his belief that
such a study would prove

 Untold Wealth There
 And there are literally thou sands of millions of tons of lig- mite in Alaska.
 At present they belong to the public.
 Veins totaling 283 feet thick are on the surface of the bluffs. There are a total of seven veins showing in one section 24 miles long and 10 miles wide, not one of which is less than 20 feet, and one is 65 feet through.
 Throughout the Interior of the Territory are deposits of almost unlimited extent.
 They stand out on the white surface of the cliffs like black lines on a newspaper, screaming for attention. And nothing has been done.
 For years the Alaska Railroad has; lost 1li money. Has had insuf- flcient business to meet expenses and that coal is there.
 in the game for billions of dol,' lars some force seems at work to prevent development of the fields some force that seems to desire only delay-until the time is ripe.
 Is There a Plot?
 The Senate Committee will face the work of attempting to trace that force, if it exists, and to. learn, whether there is a plot to. stihe Alaska until the time arrives to grab her vast resourc- es in one sweeping move.

To Scan Records

 at past congressional hearings end private lives must be scan- ned to learn the truth.
 The Committee is expected to lock into the books of a great pa per manufacturing company to learn whether President Hoover is a large stockho.der.
 In view of the flat assertion that he is, the senators owe it to the Chief Executive to clear his name.
 Scheme to Loot Alaska Bobs up
 Often in Senate
 Government administration of Alaskan affairs for years has been the cause of bitter strife. The special CorzziniJtee oI the J. S. Senate created to study ter ritorial affairs this summer was specifically instructed to recom- mend legislation to remedy con- ditions.
 In 1920 Senator Harry New of Indiana, was benefactor of John B. Edwards, who has charge of all forest leases of the Depart ment of the Interior, introduced a bill to create an Alaska board
 Could Sell Anything
 Under that bill the board would have absolute power to sell anything in the Territory.
 Those vast coal fields of the Territory could be sold for $1. Great fore ts could be sold for any sum that board deemed suitable if that bill passed
 The bill was indorsed by t.l1c then Secretary of Interior I.alle loud protests were heard ana l?ne resigned-as had Secretary Tenby of the Navy, following disclosures of his actions con- corning refusal to develop coal for use by the Navy.

 The bill was reintroduced in 1921. If it had passed, the board xx,o,11d ho resnOnsible to no one

Admiral Robison retired.
 But the Alaska coal fields still are undeveloped.
 Notorious Politician in Charge
 Of Alaska Leases
 After the Senate Committee appointed to investigate condi- tlons in Alaska completes it's tour of the Territory, it is ex- pected to conduct extensive hearings.
 Records will be examined.
 The Committee will learn that business of the Department )f the Interior was rearranged to place leasing in the hands Uf John B. Edwards, long an asso. oiate of Harry New of Indiana, notorious in national politics and finance.
 Whether Edwards has had any part in retarding development of the Territory is expected to oc- cupy attention Of the Senators.
 Former Governor Dixon of Montana, First Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior, was former- ly in charge of the timber lands. The duty was taken from his hands. He was left with little to do in an official way.
