For That Purpose.
SAYS SHOULD FILE
APPLICATIONS SOON

kALSPELL, July 1.-Sidney M
Logan has just returned from Great
Falls where he attended the meeting OF
the Montana Mining association and
also meeting of the mineral resources
committee of the Montana Planning
Board of which he is member.
The most important matter considered
by both the convention and the min
eral resources committee was that of
securing funds for the construction of
roads to mining camps and an earnest
effort is now being put forth by both
organizations to secure an allotment
Tor TINS purpose at an early date.
Some time ago, a tentative list of
mining roads was made out by the
Mineral Resources Committee but the
data upon which this list was compiled
was necessarily meagre, indefinite and
altogether unsatisfactory. A new list
will have to be compiled and it is
necessary tor mining men and COM
munities that desire allotments to OBJ

that in Lincoln county particularly an

FOURTH INSTALLMENT
New Orleans.

Arthur Brisbane has said, There are
two most interesting cities in America
your own home town and New
Orleans"
We can agree with that statement for
we found New Orleans one of the most
delightful cities visited on our 5000
mile auto trip Here, by merely crossing
street, the years roll back a CEN
fury or two and one finds ones self
in the land of romance. Here one walks
the very same streets that years ago
felt the tread of lawless pirates and
also of valiant pioneers who were help
ing to lay the foundations of a new
and great empire. Here lords and
ladies from the aristocracy of Europe
built magnificent homes and enter
tanned in lavishness and splendor. Here
you will find buildings that will trans
port you, in the twinkling of an eye.
to the Spain and France of a couple of
hundred years ago Here you will see
a bit of Paris-a touch of Spanish
splendor, set down on American shores.
As one commentator has written.
Upon this winding street stalked the
Spanish grandee. Here NapoIeon's fol-
lowers planned to house him in the new
world. Upon that curious sunny court
yard dancing feet have tapped gay,
fantastic rhythms Behind that lattice
window, the Creole belle of the years
when America was young thrilled to
her lovers serenade. Nowhere else IN
America will you find anything like it.
said one steps into all this simply
by crossing street. And this is how
one can step out of modern American
city into the land of romance by merely
crossing busy thoroughfare
New Orleans is composed Of two dis
tinct sections-two sections separated
by two hundred years of history but by
onay 100 feet of distance On one side
of Canal street is the old city; on the
other side is the modern section. On the
one side history and romance and the
days of yesteryear beckon to one; on
the other side great modern city goes
about its business.
Into the Land of Romance.
We stepped into the land Of romance
and where the centuries roll back on
a glamorous May afternoon. As one of
the editors visiting this delightful me-
tropolis during our national convention,
we were the guests Of the city that after
noon, and were given tour OF the
entire city. To lis the outstanding
feature of that tour was the old section.
Let us see if we can picture to you
some of the things we saw. But first
let us have bit of history.
