A million years ago when the
mastodon and woody rhinoceros were
gambolling in vicinity of this shore,
the ancestors Of the Gentleman.
caught by our camera man in the
act of sweeping out his front yard,
settled hereabouts.
They were a very primitive people
Of course. Their tools consisted of
the crudest sort of bone avis, stone
hammers and flint scrapers. Stone
az, and bow and arrow were their
only weapons. How in the Sam Hill
they ever survived with such a
lousy layout is still a mystery. But
apparently they did, else how come
their twentieth century descendant
so feelingly portrayed above.
OF course the cost of living wasn't
nearly as high as it is now. There
was no income tax, dog license and
alimony to pay. Presumably there
were no landlords collecting rent for
the use Of this landscape and the
rude dug-out back of it. A one
piece bathing suit cut out of the
hide of an inquisitive or perhaps
careless bear, sufficed to cover the
demands of bodily comfort and mod
esty. Shell-fish, bugs, worms, and
partly-hatched eggs of sea gulls sup
piled plain but wholesome food, while
the vitamins A, B, c, D, K. ETC.,
were directly exacted from the rays
of the sun, which on account Of the
absence of factory chimneys, exerted
considerably greater potency than
now. Anyhow, they managed to get
by and here is their m~odernistic off
spring.
Who is he? What is he: Where
did he come from and why? We
take it for granted that his name
does not appear in "Who's Who" or
Rradstreet & Dunn's, although per-
SOM mentioned in these publications
occasionally get that way. From
the cut of his hair, we deduce that
he is not a barber. The cut of his
garment, on the other hand, would
indicate that he is either a former
life guard or rubber in a Turkish
bath-house.
But how about the broom, Did
anyone ever see a life guard sweep
ing off the beach with a broom -!
Has any one of you ever observed
a rubber in a Turkish bath-house
going about his work with a broom ?
Nay, the man is none of these. He
is, we affirm without fear of success
full contradiction, one Of the heroes
who helped to make the world safe
for democracy, and having done SO

the country.
The mountain terrain, he said,
was entirely different from his

of rock on the SUBMITS he found
an open, verdant country-lakes
and grassy parks, varied by
clumps of timber and thrusts OF

SAYS RAILROADS
MUST SPEED UP
Better Freight Service Is
Necessary in Opinion
of Writer

Faster door-to-door freight SER
vice by means of coordinated
transportation will be- lone vital
weapon in enabling the railroads
to meet successfully the relent-
less competition of the motor car
riers and to avoid imminent gov
eminent ownership, according to
Ben Hibbs in the September issue
of "The Country Gentleman"
There is not the slightest doubt,
the writer believes, that the motor
carrier is here to stay, but it is
equally obvious, he declares, that
the railroads are indispensable
and must continue to exist.
Railroads everywhere, Mr.. Hibbs
found, are doing some practical
thinking to devise faster, more
coordinated transportation. The
plan for freight service which
seems to hold the most hope for
the steam carriers, he believes, is
that of utilizing the Railway Ex-
press agency, which is now owned
by the railroads, in picking up and
delivering freight.
AS an example of speedier
freight service, the author cites a
fast overnight freight train, joint
ly operated by two large eastern
roads. Trucks owned by a subsid-
larry of one of the carriers, meet
the train at important centers
during the night, and by morning,
merchandise is delivered to the
consignees in nearly 500 towns. In

PLACE CONTRACT
ON RObERTS-RED
LODGE HIGHWAY
Almost IL Miles Will Be
Regarded, Resurfaced
BY the State
BULLETIN

Helena, Aug. 24.-(AP)-The
low bid on the Red Lodge Roberts
state highway was placed by j. M.
Carter of Billings. The amount
of the bid was $66,130.92, it was
announced by the highway com
mission this afternoon.
With the letting of IA contracts
by the state highway commission
at Helena today, there is the pros
pect of a good road between Red
Lodge and Roberts, a travel route
that has been more ~noticeably
rough this summer than ever. A
contract for regarding and resur-
facing Of III miles of the state
highway was to have been award
ed.
Engineers of the state commits
sion, surveying the highway last
year, noted the need for improve
ment at several points. There
will be little change in the line of
the route, as curves are few be-
tween Red Lodge and Roberts,
but it was planned to increase the
elevation of the grade at several
points to prevent snow blocking.
Eventual Improvement of the
state highway from Red Lodge to
the Bridger junction near Silesia
is the plan Of the state commits
sion, although it is unlikely that
further contracts will be let this
year. Changes in the route be-
tween Roberts and Silesia will
eliminate the more dangerous
curves and possibly a great deal
of snowplow work necessary every
winter in past years.
Helena, Mont, Aug. 23.--(AP)
Fourteen contracts for improve
ment of nearly 200 miles of Mon
tana roads will be let Wednesday
by the state highway commission
Included in the letting, which is
financed largely by money from
the big emergency employment
bill, are 47.342 miles of new work
together with four concrete
bridges and 81 wooden structures.
