Harrigan, secretary of the board OF
trade, occupied seats on the stage,
supplying atmosphere. as the
chairman put it. InaSmuch as the
supervisors, the board of trade and
the Imperial Irrigation District
sponsored the entire affair, they
supplied much more than atmos-
phere.
Motion picture operators for news
reels and camera men for neWSpa-
pers, press associations and picture
services, were busy throughout the
clay taking scenes of Imperial VAL
ley day, all of which will result
in much publicity for the valley.
Newspapers throughout the coun-
try, served by the various picture
services, will be carrying valley
views for the next week or two as
a result of yesterdays program.

%Due to insufficient "ba,Ik" in

Tests show Kellogg's ALL-BRAE
provides "bulk" to aid elimination.
ALL-BRAN is also rich in vitamin B
and iron.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is gen.
tie. 1t resists digestion better than
the fiber in fruits and vegetables,
so it is often more effective.
Isn't this food safer than risking
patent medicines? Two tablespoon
fuls of ALL-BRAN daily are usually
sufficient. If seriously constipated,
use with each meal. See your doc.

In Helena region but a small
area has been studied and the
geology mapped. This area does not
embrace that section, north Of the
Helena quadrangles. which pre-
sents the most probable source OF
the local earthquakes, assuming
that the disturbances are due ia
readjustments along fault planes.
A second possible source Of dis
turbances. one Of deep-seated, mag
matte origin, may lie In renewal OF
long dormant volcanic activities OF
the geoIogicalIy most recent per-
Tod, that OF the Tertiary rhyo-
lite lava flows, and the dacite and
andesite bikes. In point OF geolo-
glc time. this period is compare
lively recent. It has been sugges-
ted that the current earthquakes
are of this latter origin.
1t is Of interest to ascertain TO
which of these sources is due the
seismic disturbances OF 1925 and
1885. that we may speculate on
possible recurrances.
Volcanic Theory Unlikely
The Tertiary volcanoes were
closely associated with the Boul-
der batholith. a great intrusion Of
granite rocks which extended from
Unionville. south of Helena. 20
several miles south OF Butte. There
fore, IT is reassuring to assume
that any disturbances OF that ORR

great granite area, the shocks

Dances, felt so severely IN the
Helena area We. therefore, may
speculate on their
source as one off readjustments
along major fault planes. two Of
which are partly mapped in the

of the region.

Belt rocks, underlie, the vibrations
being ''dampened" on passing into
the steeply tilted shales, limestone
and quartzite OF the Paleozoic
which lie against the monzonite
houth OF the valley. The, same
argument holds against transmits
sion of the earth shocks north
easterly through the Paleozoic rocks
Of the Belt mountains, and ac-
counts for the more noticeable trans
mission northwesterly, along the
zone of Belt rocks.
Follows River Canyon
The other fault, also indicated
on Plate 2, accompanying Bulletin
S42, U. s. Geological Survey, cuts
the Belt rocks as It is exposed
from beneath the Tertiary Lake
beds of the Prickly Pear Valley,
and strikes northeasterly 20 the
Gate of the Mountains, but is not
indicated in the unseurveyed re-
gion through the Belt mountains
and down the Missouri where the
river has carved its course direct
ly across the beds Of massive lime
stone, shales and quartite of the
Palaeozoic age.
Under the upper portal OF the
Gate 70 the Mountains the two
faults appear to intersect.
The accepted theory is that, on
such fault planes. along which the
rocks have been disrupted, one
side thrust up, the other down,
as along the Missouri |
river representing thousands of |
Ieet OF dislocatfon, stresses exist |
AZ all times, eliminate until a

.|CKES Wins FIGHT
FOR $4,000 AIDE
Secretary Praised as House
Votes to Create New
Assistant.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With scarcely any opposition House
Democrats yesterday sang the praises
of Secretary Ickes-who has been put
in charge Of making allotments out OF
the $4,000, 100000 work-relief fund
and voted overwhelmingly to allow
him a new $10,000-a-year Undersecre-
tary of the Interior.
For two weeks there had been talk
about how the Secretary should be
reminded that Congress does have
some power. Representative Wood
rum, Democrat, of Virginia, who has
many friends in the House, told news
paper men he was going to fight the
attempt to give Ickes a new aide.
The flare-up reached such propor-
tions that House Democratic leaders
declared hands off, fearful of defeat.
But when the roll was called the vote
for the new Undersecretary was 243 to
92-and Woodrum voted present"
The vote meant that the House had
accepted a Senate amendment to the
60,OO0,000 Interior Department an
nual appropriation bill permitting
employment of the new $l0,000-a-year
man.
In the House debate, only one

Ickes. He was not allotted time to
