the Continental Divide to hike to Bel
ton Since that day no trace of them
has ever been found although thous-
ands of dollars have been spent in the
search. MANY theories are advanced as
to their fate but no official explanation
has ever been arrived at.
During the summer of 1884, DR.. F. H.
Lumley of Columbus, Ohio, brilliant
young professor at Ohio University
stepped off the porch at Goathaunt
Chalets at Watertown Lake for days
hike. Since that moment not the slight
est trace Of him has been discovered.
Disappearance of this nature in
mountainous regions are not Unusual.
In some instances the missing persons
have never been found and in others
ten to twenty years have elapsed.
Rangers Protect Guests.
Ranger naturalists have served Gla-
cier Park guests for 13 seasons, though
the present program of guided trips
afield, lectures, campfire entertain
ment, flower shows, and other exhibits
is only six years old.
The first ranger force in the park
was organized by Supt. Logan in 1910.
It consisted of H. Vaught, chief ranger,
and six rangers. At present the park
protective force consists of 16 district
rangers, two assistant chiefs and Chief
Ranger Tom Whitcraft, During the
summer months nine temporary rangers
and 80 fire guards and lookouts take
up their duties. Several members of the
force have lost their lives In the per-
formance of their duties in the rs years
since then and number of narrow
escapes are on record.

Thu Echomctrr

The echometer Is an electrically OPP
Grated device for sounding at sea, by
means of which the nature Of an ocean
bed and the depth OF water beneath a
vessel can be determined. 1t was an
nounced by the British Marconi system.
The echometer Is operated by push
button principle. Among the claims for
1t are that it will prove of great value
In saving vessels from grounding and
that it can be used by fishermen In
trawling to determine the type Of fish
to be found from the depth of water.

Good Fishing Maintained.

Fishing in the streams and lakes of
Glacier Park have been maintained
during the past 25 years by the planting
Of 27 900 600 fish mostly trout and gray
ling. In addition land-locked salmon
were planted in St. Mary's lake in 1882.
A fish hatchery has been in opera
ton at Glacier Park station for num-
Der Of years to supply the needs of the
park. However, greatly enlarged facili-
ties are needed and an estimate for a
new hatchery layout to cost $4,000
has been submitted by the u S. bureau
of fisheries. 1t is hoped that this item
will be included in the new public
works program.
Mysterious Disappearances.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-A re- pioneering of Alaska, with air planes replacing dog teams, was described to the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical En- gineers by Clarence Poy of Valdez. Poy told new story of flying which promises an industrial con- quest of one of natures last noun tain strongholds of rich minerals guarded by glaciers.
 To one mine a complete 16-ton mill, with supplies, bunkhouse and food weighing an additional two tons, were transported by plane in one week last season. This same job would have taken the entire season by other means of transportation.
 In one. district near Valdez 60 tons of mining machinery and sup plies were flown last year without damage or loss. The cost was about 4 cents a pound, against 20 to 35 cents by other means. An engine taken from the coast to mine in a two-hour flight was running within A hours.
 Dynamite also was dropped suc- cessfully in snow banks all sum- mer. Poy said.

CONSTITUTION IS GONE,"
 DISSENTING JURIST SAYS

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The gov ernment won all along the line with regard to private bonds and state and municipal gold contracts. The courts position on private bonds ap- piled as we'll to bonds issued by states and municipalities.
 Dissenting with three others of his colleagues, Justice McReynolds said, "The constitution is gone." His view is that it could not be dis closed at this time what would be the effect "of what has been done here this day"
 McReynolds pointed out that the solemn promise of the government was made in the sale of its bonds that purchasers would receive pay ment in gold. Justices Vandevanter. Sutherland and Butler were includ- ed in the minority.
 President Roosevelt and admin istration leaders were overioyed at the decision. The President decided that no legislative or administrative action is required.

 SWEPT ASIDE BY COURT

 current economic conditions, even in ruling on contracts.
 While invalidating the law say ing that the governments obliga- tions need not be paid in gold, the court simultaneously denied hold CTS of federal bonds the right to sue for redress in court claims This right also is denied holders of old gold certificates who sought S1.69 for each dollar in their cer- tificates.
 We are not concerned with the consequences" said the court, in the sense that consequences, how ever serious, may excuse invasion of the constitution"
 We are concerned with the cen stitutional power of congress over the monetary system of the coun- try and it's attempted illustration in exercising that power.
 Congress has undertaken to es- tablish a uniform currency and parity between kinds of currency and to make that currency dollar for dollar legal tender for pay ments of debts. In the light of abundant experience congress is en- titled to choose such a uniform monetary system and to reject a dual system with respect to all ob- legations within range of exercise of it's constitutional authority"
 Arguments before the supreme court on the constitutionality of legislation suspending gold pay ments were completed January II. The arguments started the day after the court held unconstitu- tional that section of the national recovery act under which the ad- ministration had attempted to cur tail the interstate shipment of H. legally-produced oil.
 Denying any "repudiation," gov ernment counsel urged the court to render judgment that would make for peace and will not de- feat the early return of prosperity to this weary land" Angus D. Me Lean, assistant solicitor-general, argued that the alteration of the bond was within the power to con gress to coin and regulate money.
 The outstanding gold obligations of the United States government were estimated at about seventeen billion dollars. According to the general belief of what would hap pen In the event of an adverse de- cision, the public debt would be in- creased by about twelve billion dol lars. Private securities, those of railroads, public utilities and real estate mortgages and the like, were estimated at something less than two hundred billion dollars.

JANUARY COMMERCE VALUES
 SHOW DECREASE FROM DEC.

Although the seasonal gains made by furs tended to offset losses incurred by a lessening of fish transportation, shipments of mer- chandise from Alaska to the Unit ed States fell off from December's S averages, according to the January report of James J. Connors, United States Collector of Customs.
 Black, blue and red fox furs showed large gain over December. Where December's black and silver fox furs amounted to $502, Janu- ary's figure was $16,055. Blue fox fur was s32,225 to but $22,O5O in the last month of 1884.
 But losses in fresh and frozen fish were large Cured herring and salmon were the only varieties of fish merchandise to show gains over December, and their raise was comparatively slight.
 The total value Of products of Alaska fell off, therefore, from S1, - O59,67O to s454,226. But the value of United States products returned to the States showed a gain. In December only S51,471 worth of merchandise was shipped out, while last month found a $13O,O54 value going to the States.
 Gold took a decline, but silver rose. However, a $30,OOO shipment of platinum was reported for Janu- ary, where none had been recorded at all for December

 George Washington was born two hundred and three years ago. Into less than threescore years and ten he crowded more events than has anyone else, probably, in the history of our country
 He was religious in the deepest sense of the term Like Lincoln, he could hardly be classed among the orthodox; but he had an unwaver- ing reliance upon Providence which seemed never so strong as when ad- versity was full upon him. When defeat dogged his steps, he confi- dently asserted that God was but trying his people to make them strong Always he held to the right and sacredness of his cause. "We will raise a standard to which the wise and prudent may repair" he said; "the issue is in the hands of God"
 Let us make our own this faith in which the Father of His Coun- try" lived and died.
