Some of its advocates pulled through alive. Then we have had the your ca alories' system. This got out of leash from its scientific students and became a fad. But scientific knowledge of nutrition Is steadily advancing and food ex- tremists are either dying off by taking their own diet or else re- gaining their common sense.

 This letter presents a problem that I'm sure is bothering a good many beauty minded women these days. Steam heated rooms, coal dust in the air and lack of ade- quate outdoor exercise undoubted- ly has played havoc with faces and figures that were quite lovely last fall. Obviously then, this Is the time for intensive beauty treat ments.
 First of all, plan to go to youi favorite beauty salon for a hot oi shampoo once a week from now until Easter. If the budget can be stretched to meet such 8 de mand, give yourself hot oil treat ments right at home. Simply mas sage the warm olive oil into scalr and hair the night before you are going to the hair-dresser. | Watch your diet carefully, elim. mating rich, too fat and too sweet foods for at least month. In ad. dition, do setting-up exercises in the morning and walk at least two miles every day.

 Who Can Drink When Not

 Some doctors say drink 8 or 10 glasses of water a day. In his book on diet Dr. Hay says to drink wa ter only when thirsty. Who Is right? CT. F.)
 Answer---I think it would be a pretty severe punishment to drink when not thirsty. Yet some elderly, feeble persons drink a glass or even whole pint of water first thing each morning, and whats more they take it warm, and be- lieve 1t or not, some of lem stir a little salt in it--which l think would be bad hygiene even if 1t were good to drink.

Twenty thousand dollars has beer
spent by the state water conservation
board for the purchase OF three tracts
Of land near Roberts in Carbon county
for reservoir sites and canals to be in
cluded in the Rock Creek irrigation
project. Claims for the money vert
filed a few days ago, after approval by
the state board of examiners, in the
office of the state auditor, and war
rants we're issued for the same.
The claims we're filed by the water
board in the names of the persons
whose land wa bought.
Several hundred acres of land, from
which was excepted school land and
one acre, purchased along with 40t
inches of water from Mrs. Ina M. Rob-
ertson for ST. 1000. The land is neal
Willow creek and Red Lodge creek.
An area of 1884 acres was included
in a purchase made by the board from
Saram M. Newkirk, and 30 acres from
Richard Korpi for $1,875.
While the water projects being han
died by the water conservation board
for the state primarily were to be fl
nanced by money from the government
in loans and grants, the board has a
grant of state money to pay the states
share of the costs.

ENGLISH WRITER
VISITS MINING CITY
GREATEST THRILL WAS TO SEE
SIR MALCOLM CAMPBELL ON
SALT LAKE SPEEDWAY

Travelling 5000 miles in order to
see his friend flash over a desert
mile In ii As seconds, an English
journalist visited Butte recently de-
claring that Sir Malcolm CampbeIIs
record smashing run nea Salt Lake
City was the greatest thrill Of his
life.
He is Paul Bewsher of London, staI
reporter for the London Daily Mail
He accompanied Sir Malcolm and the
Bluebird to America, witnessed the
trials at Bonneville salt flats in Utah
and had a ring-side seat when the not
ed English racer twice sped his auto
mobile over the hard salt course for ar
average speed of more than 301 miles
an hour. His description Of the NOM
entOuS event was flashed 5000 miles
across telegraph and cable wires tc
provide vicarious thrills for the mil
lions in the British Isles.
Il was amazed at the perfection OF
the Utah desert track" Mr.. Bewsher
said. "Sir Malcolm also was greatly
pleased with the course, declaring it the
best he had ever seen and praising the
manne in which the details of the run
were handled"
MI. Bewsher spent several hours in
Butte, leaving at noon for Spokane en-
route to Calgary, where he is to do a
series of stories on Alberta's new social
credit program for the Daily Mail. He
plans to spend several weeks in Canada.
Sir Malcolm, who flew to Chicago from
Salt Lake City, sailed from New York
a few days ago, and his racer, following
to New York by fast freight, also will
be returned to England.
During his visit in Butte Mr. Bew-
sher was taken On a tour of the mines
on the hill by Frank Hughes, manager
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany. The visitor revealed a great in
terest in the mining industry, and ex-
pressed regret at being unable, because
of the brevity of his visit to the Mining
city, to take a trip underground.

AMENDMENTS TO
ADJUSTMENT ACT
TO INSURE CONSTITUTIONALTTY
OF FARM ACT. SEVERAL PRO-
VISIONS ARE MADE

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
The amendments revising the ag-
r1%cultural adjustment act TO meet
questions of c0nstitutionaIity, also
strengthen n clarity the legislative
foundation of the farm program In
the light of experience gained during
the past two years, according to j. C.
Taylor, director of extension at Mon
tana State college.
To insure the constitutionality of the
act, the following provisions have been
made.
First the authority of the secretary
of agriculture has been defined and
limited to make it clear that congress
is n ot delegating power to an admin
istrative officer, but directing him 10
perform certain functions for which
definite guides and standards have been
set up.
Second, all previous and existing
taxes, benefit payments, and contracts
instituted prior to the adoption Of the
amendments are legalized and ratified
by congress. The processing taxes In
effect are directly levied by congress
at their present rates and specified
rates are set for barley, rye and flax.
Provision is made for adjustment OF
tax rates in accordance with a specified
formula.
Third, the operation of the act Is
rigidly limited to interstate commerce
and the interstate commerce clause u
REDEEMED to bring it in line with lang
uage used by the supreme court in pre-
viouS decisions. Provision is made for
cooperation of federal and state gov
ernmentS.
Strengthening and clarifying provis-
ions include the following:
Mortgage interest rates and land tax
rates. may be taken into consideration
in arriving at parity price, or fair ex-
change value. If the provisions allow
ing adjustment of the rate of process
ing taxes are held invalid, the specific
rates of tax set by congress are to be in
effect.
The ever-normal granary plan, which
c~ontemplates the holding on farms OF
reserve supplies of certain non-periSh-
able crops for use in periods of possible
shortage, and to protect both farmers
and consumers from undue price
fluctuations, is incorporated in the
farm program.
Provision is made for limiting i'm
ports of competing farm production
when they materially interfere with ad-
justment programs. An annual ap-
preparation equal to 30 percent of the
customs receipts, estimated to yield
about 500, 000, 900, is made available for
the purpose of substituting exports, do
mestic production, surplus diversion
and for financing adjustment pay
ments.

REHRHAHRR
Billy Hamilton, Pioneer of Columbus, Was One of First Guides i'm
Yellowstone National Park Who Knew of Its Scenic Grandeur


Hamilton pointed out to them that
the skepticism and sophistry Of the
people in the east had shut them out
from the truth about the mountains
told by mountain men.
II gave them to understand" he said,
that the outside world would not be-
lieve stories told by trappers of the
grand and romantic scenery to be
found in the Rocky mountains. Had
this wonderland been described in st.
Louis in the early ~forties, the reply
would invariably have been, Old Noun
taineer's Story There is plenty Of
proof of this assertion"
This statement recalls the legends Of
Jim Bridger, who. when doubted and
scoffed when telling facts about the
west, began to spin his fanciful stories
based on truth and far-fetched only
as to the experiences he claimed
which were SO readily gobbled up as
tall ones from the wild" by EASTERN
ers.
Even today the National Park service
finds that modern tourists are but little
less skeptical than were their forbears
OF Bridger's day, despite the evidence
of their W eyes. A story from the
park service in the present decade tells
OF a ranger, as evening shadows length
ened, ~instructing a fellow ranger to
turn on the lights about the Old Faith
full camp. Just at the moment the
switch was thrown Old Faithful start
ed her hourly eruption.

From 1912 to 1856 Billy Hamilton re-
manned in the wilderness of the North
west. In 1858, he located at He'll Gate,
now Missoula, as a trading post Oper-
ator. In 1864, he moved to Fort Ben
ton, where he engaged in business and
served as sheriff and United States
marshal. In 1869, he came to the Vel
lowstone valley, then uninhabited ex-
cept for the Grow Indians and hunting
parties of other tribes and a few min
ers and trappers. In 1873. he was
United States deputy marshal at the
Grow agency.
During his days with Bill Williams
the latter gave Hamilton the manu-
script OF a history Of his life among
the Pueblo, Navajo and Apache In
dlans, probably the most comprehen-
slve description of these tribes ever
written. For safe keeping Hamilton
placed the manuscript in the safe at
the Grow agency, then in charge Of
Major F. D. PeaSe as agent. Three days
later the agency burned while Hamil-
ton was out chasing some cattle thieves.
Inc manuscript was destroyed, a fact
which Hamilton always lamented.
During the seventies Hamilton was

springs on the south side, the lower, or
north, end of the lake, Vinegar creek
II Pelican creek, where they caught
large quantities Of beaver and otter.
They also told about Sulphur mountain,
the Yellowstone falls, the mud geysers,
and explained the relations of all these
more lucidly than any map car show
them.
They also described q fight they had
with a large party Of Piegan Indians at
the lower end Of the lake, on a prairie,
about half a mile in length. The trap
pers built a corral at the upper end Of
the prairie and fought desperately for
two days, losing five men besides hav-
ing many wounded. The trappers fl
nally compelled the Piegans to leave,
with the loss of many Of their bravest
warriors. After the wounded were able
to travel the trappers took an Indian
trail and struck a warm spring creek.
This they followed to the Madison
river, which was then unknown to the
trappers-at least to this particular
party.
In the upper Madison country the
trappers described the Lower Geyser
basin and the Firehole river. The de-
scription. according to Hamilton, was
astonishing to all the trappers at the
rendezvous.
Men in the uncharted wilderness had
to carry their road maps in their heads,
calling up from memory's depths de-
scriptions Of routes and geographic
features from spoken descriptions
needless to say, mountain men had a
keen ability for description, derived
from equally keen faculties for observa-
ton of everything that came within
sight or hearing. Likewise, they had
the ability to file away in their memo
rieS the outstanding features of any
country described to them.
These characteristics Of observation
and memory enabled the mountain mar
to make his way through uncharted
country on his own; it was these same
highly developed faculties which made
such men as Jim Bridger SC valuable
to government geographers from 1850
until the west was settled.
Yellowstone park was not to be ade-
quately presented to the world and
created a national park for another 80
years after Hamilton heard these trap
pers describe it. But during those
years he had retained the memory of
that description heard about a rendez-
vouS campfire, and it was not a faith
full route guide and geographic chron-
icle of what his party was to see.
Hamilton's explanation drew express
sions of wonder from his party regard
ing his long memory. Likewise, they
thought 1t more than passing strange
that the outside world had not earlier
known about that wonderful country.

The late Billy Hamilton of Column
bus had never been in Yellowstone
park when, In the early days of the
park, he took a job Of guiding q party
through the Wonderland, then not so
well developed and catalOgued in
guide books a it now Is. Sans road
logs or other printed information.
Hamilton guided his party over the
crude trails of those days, telling his
employers what was ahead Of them
from day to day, as though he we're
entirely familiar with the region.
Each days travel bespoke the truth
Of his descriptions.
How comes it, Hamilton" his party
asked. You said that you had never
been in this section before, yet you &C
from place to place describing every
thing just as it is"
Hamilton explained that in the year
1889 a party of 40 men started from
some point along what later became the
Oregon trail for the exploration of the
upper Snake river country. In the
party were Ducharme, Louis Anderson
Jim and John Baker, Joe Power, L.
Humphrie, and others, all free trap
pers.
Hamilton, born about 1922 in Scot
land, had been brought to the United
States by his parents as a child. He
grew to manhood at st. Louis where
at the age of 20 years he was in poor
health and doctors advised a change Oh
climate. His father bought a third in
terest in an expedition to the Rockies
and sent Hamilton along for a years
roughing expedition, with Bill Williams
famous trapper of that era, as captain
of the party and mentor to Hamilton
Expecting to be gone a year, Hamil-
ton was away from home six years be-
fore he returned, for a brief visit only
and then returned to spend the re-
mainder of his life in the mountains.
1t was in the spring of 1912 that
Hamilton left st. Louis. Later that
year, at a trappers' rendezvous, sitting
about a camp fire and listening to the
story Of that 1889 visit to the upper
Snake, Hamilton learned for the first
time Of the wonders which later be-
came Yellowstone park.
The Snake river party had crossed
the Continental divide, dropping down
the Yellowstone, then called Elk, river,
to Yellowstone lake, and across the
hills to the Madison river and the gey-
ser basins.
Hamilton, new to the west and en-
chanted with the descriptions of the
country, gave rapt attention. In fact,
Williams asked him to make notes as
closely as possible, as he desired to visit
the same region.
The trappers accurately described
