The Montana School oil
Mines, in a story released this
week, says Of travertine:
Building Stone Of Antiquity
TTavertine, q form Of lime
stone, the building stone of an
tiQuity. from which many Of the
tanned structures OF history such
as the st. Peters church and the
Colosseum at Rome were erected,
is being mined in Montana in
large quantities, according to re-
cords at the Montana School Of
Mines.
Montana has what are prob
ably some OF the largest traver-
tine, OF marble onyx" deposits
in the world. Great blankets of
it exist near Gardiner and Man
haitian as well as near Lewis
town and smaller deposits else
where. The present extent OF the
stone in Montana is estimated to
be about 20 to 25 square miles
from available data. Several of
the Gardiner and Manhattan
stone specimens have been re-
ceived at the School OF Mines
from the Northwest Improvement
company which is now quarying
it.
The Manhattan quarry is about
six miles north of the town and
the Gardiner quarry is about one
and half miles west Of Gardi-
ner. Both are yielding beau
tiful banded rock that takes
high polish. The Manhattan Stone |
is the more compact and shows
very delicate shading in the thin
bands which are interspersed
through II. 1t is somewhat trans
lucent.
In speaking OF the stone, DR.. |
E. S. Perry, professor Of geology |
at the School OF Mines and chief
geOlogist for the Montana bu-
reau of mines, says:

MISSING TRIO
SAVED At SEA

LOS ANGELES, May Is. U.P)-
Three persons who drifted for five
days on the Pacific ocean before
they were rescued yesterday, re-
turned to their home on San Gle
mente Island today, none the worse
for their narrowing experience.
The three, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Sweedborg and William Rudolph,
left the island Wednesday in a
skiff, intending to row to motor
cruiser for supplies. A gale came
up, they lost one of the oars, and
were blown out to sea.
Coast guard vessels and the des-
troyer Preble searched the ocean
for the missing trio, who mean
while had drifted into the range of
gunfire from the United States
fleet.
In desperation they attempted to
fasten their skiff to one of the
naval targets, but it was towed
away before they could make fast
to it. =.... ....... ....... ...-
Friday all lost consciousness.
Capt. Finn Nalm of the whaler Port
Sanders found them drifting far
at sea and removed them to hos
pital in Catalina. SWeedborg was
delirious from drinking salt wat
er. He and his wife are employed
as guards to protect sheep on San
Clemente Island. Rudolph, San
Pedro man, was visiting the couple.

Seattle Printers
Go Out On Strike

SEATTLE, May Is. WP)-Ap-
proximately 200 printers, employed
by the Seattle Times, Seattle Star
and Seattle acknowledgement, went
on strike today following disputes
over wages and working hours.
Non-union printers, the majority
of whom came from San Francis
co, took the places of the union
men, and all three newspapers were
publishing regular editions today.
The strike was not unexpected,
as it appeared for several days
publishers and representatives OF
the union would not be able to
reach an agreement.
Negotiations, however, were still
under way today.
There was no trouble or disorder
at any of the three newspaper
plants.

employed and farmers. But
fewer than 1900 have respond
ed.
These have been living at
Fort Hunt in tents erected for
them by the government and
eating meals prepared by cooks
hired by the veterans bureau.
Original plans called for a
series of conferences, parades 10
the White House and the capi-
tOl and an agreement on a
plan for united action.
So far this impressive sched-
ule has resulted only in a dis
pute between the main group
and smaller gathering of 200
which refused for a while to ac-
cept the governments shelter.
When Emmanuel Levin and
Harold HickersOn, admitted
Communists, withdrew from the
veterans National Liason com
mittee, most of this insurgent
group moved to Fort Hunt. But
as they came the militant
leadership of the bonus army
appeared to vanish.

MACON TAKES
TEST CRUISE

AKRON, Ohio, May Is. tU.Pl :
The navy dirigible u. S. S. Macon,
queen of the skies, was taken aloft
on her third trial flight today and
scared over northern Ohio on a
dawn to dusk cruise.
On board was Rear Admiral Err
nest E. King. who became chief of
the navy's bureau of aeronautics
following the tragic death of Rear
Admiral William A. Moffett, who
was in the crash of the Macon'S 5
sister ship, the Akron.
Commander S. M. Kraus, who
headed the navy's investigation in
to the Akron disaster, also was
aboard.
Before the takeoff, Captain Al
ger H. Dresel, commanding the
ship, revealed that three bladed
propellors had been installed on all
eight motors of the ship and the
flight was for the specific purpose
of testing the efficiency of the new
props" as compared with the two
bladed variety used in the two for
mer test cruises.
At the conclusion of today's
flight, the Macon will be made
ready for the fourth and most cru
cial test-the .48 hour endurance
cruise. A total of six test flights
must be made before the ship is
officially accepted by the navy.

BISHOP MUST
STAND TRIAL

WASHINGTON, May Is. U.P)-
The district court of appeals held
today that Bishop James Cannon,
Jr., must stand trial on charges of
violation of the corrupt practices
act in activities during the 1928
presidential campaign.
The decision was reversal of q
decision by the district supreme
court and was made after the U.
S. supreme court, in a ruling last
month, held that the court of
appeals had jurisdiction in the
case.
The courts ruling applied also
to Miss Ada L. Burroughs, who
served as secretary to the church,
man during the time he was wag-
ing political warfare against the
election of Alfred E. Smith for
the presidency.
Both were indicted after an ex-
tensive grand jury investigation
and agitation in and out of con-
gress for their prosecution.
The legal attack on their activ-
tiles grew out of a contribution of
S63,500 to Cannon S campaign work
by E. o. Jameson, New York cap
italist and ardent prohibitionist.
Investigation showed Cannon failed
to report it in it's entirety to the
clerk of the house of representa-
tives as required by the corrupt
practices act.

SACRAMENTO, May Is. tU.P-
A long and bitter fight over gas
tax diversion came to an end in
the assembly early today when the
lower house approved a bill sub
mitting the question of diversion to
the people at the June 81 election.
Opponents of the easure
charged cement interests and Off
cials of the department of public
works-including Earl Lee Kelly,
director-were openly lobbying for
the measure during debate. The
electorate would vote on whether
S17,000,000 should be diverted from
the gas tax fund TO the general
fund.
Assemblyman Lawrence Cobb
contended the gas tax diversion
question should be settled by the
legislature.
"The diversion proposal will pro-
badly be defeated at the polls be-
cause the cement trust will finance
campaign opposing it, while those
favoring it have neither the time
nor money to tell the actual facts, +"

SUPERVISORS
NAME BAKER

John B. Baker, first recorder of
Imperial county, and veteran val
ley publisher, was named justice
of the peace for Imperial by the
board of supervisors shortly after
noon today. He succeeds Judge
Herman A. Conger who died May
2. Supervisors Preble, Vencil and
Graham voted for Baker, while
Supervisor Osborne voted "no"
and w. j. Best did not vote.
Baker was sworn in Immediately
and left for Imperial to hear a
case in justice court.
During the morning session of
today's meeting, several persons
appeared before the supervisors in
behalf of candidates for this pos
ition. George Conley stated that
he thought consolidation of the
office of police judge and justice
of the peace would be best for I'm
perial and since Guy A. Holbrook
had recently been appointed by the
council of that city to the former
office, he should hold the latter as
well. B. Mellon, L. j. Demarsh and
P. C.. johnson also approved oi
Holbrook IS name for this position
C. M. Page spoke in favor ol
John Baker, editor of the Imper-
ial Enterprise. Charles Farrell sug-
gested that the appointment be
left absolutely in the hands of the
supervisors who know conditions as
they are. Leonard Buster stated
that he knew many persons in I'm
perial both businessmen and ranch
ers who were not in favor of Hol-
brooks appointment but he did
not name any candidate for the
position.
When all had spoken the board
announced that it would take
action on the matter Immediately
after the noon recess.
