TOURISTS SPEND S67
FOR EVERY MONTANAN

Tht tourists that swarmed thru
Montana in 1888 had their pockets
open, spending enough money to
average S67.54 for each of the
states residents, including men,
women and children, according to
a report by the U. S. travel bureau.
The bureau placed Montana'S 1888
tourist crop at 500, 4O5,248. about
S8,000,000 more than the estimate
of the highway department.
More than half the total amount.
in fact So per cent, was spent for
transportation, % per cent went for
recreation and 20 per ctnt for. food.
accommodations and refreshments,
according to the report. Surveys by
the highway department show that
from the main channtls. the tourist
dollar is distributed into nearly ev-
cry trade channel in the state.
Montanans, Inc. has estimated
the state will enjoy a s40,000,00O
tourist trade this season. Accord
ing to past surveys, S40,000,000
tourist trade would mean more than
81 100000 in the state highway fund
from the five-cent per gallon tax
on gasoline.

TREATING SMUT

Bozeman, Aug. IA. Loose smut
which can be prevented only by
treating seed with hot water, has
struck in central Montana and in
milder form toward the eastern
part of the state, according to H. E.
Morris, plant pathologist for the
Montana Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Loose smut, an entirely different
form than sinking smut, which is
easily controlled by Ceresan treat
ment, resembles dark brown pow
der or dust. This dust in the form
of spores is found on the heads of
wheat, chiefly spring wheat. Later
in the season it will blow off or be
washed off and leave only the bare
stalks without a kernel of wheat.
This smut is in the state in mild
form almost every year, Morris
says. 1t rarely damages field more
than three per cent. This year it
may cause damage as high as 10
per cent in the worst hit fields. Be
cause it has increased this year the
hot water treatment is recommend

No getting around It women are
supposed to be hairless creatures
when It comes to arms and legs. and
seeing them otherwise Is anything
but alluring! However, with legs un-

to reason that the femininity of to-

AYERS DENIES PLEA
FOR RETURN OF MAN
ON Staying CHARGE

Following a hearing, Governor
Roy E. Ayers denied the request of
West Virginia authorities who
wanted to extradite John Kelly of
Plains on a l7-year-old murder
charge. In a statement issued after
the hearing, Governor Ayers said:
This denial based upon the fact
that if it has taken the state of West
Virginia II years to make case
against Kelly, during all of which
time the officers of the West Vir-
ginia county now asking his extra
dition knew where he was, or with
the slightest diligence. could have
known where he was. it is an in
justice to return Kelly at this time,
upon short notice and at his own
expense to prepare his defense"
There is also doubt in my mind
as to Kelly's guilt and under the law
l should give him the benefit of that
doubt. Then again, he has been an
excellent citizen of this state dur
ing his II years of residence here"

ed at least for portion of the seed
for the 1910 crop.
The hot water treatment is diff
cult to give ind consists of four
steps: ~ Soak the wheat four to
six hours in water ranging from So
to IS degrees; p soak one minute at
l20 degrees; 81 soak 10 minutes at
1923 degrees, and ~ dip in cold wat
er, then spread thinly for drying.
Because the hot water treatment
is such an exacting task, Morris
suggests that only bushel or so be
treated and this seed planted in a
seed plot to build up supply of
smut-free seed.
Loose smut treatment of other
grains requires slightly different
treatment. Information about the
treatment of these grains may be
obtained from any county agent or
by writing the Montana Agricultur-
al Experiment Station.

WESTERN STRETCH OF
LOGAN PASS ROAD is
READY FOR TRAVEL

With the completion of grading
and oiling on the western part OF
the Going highway, mo-
florists may now travel the 81 miles
from the west entrance of Glacier
National Park to Logan Pass with
out encountering any road con-
struction, Superintendent D. S. Lib
hey announced.
The 13-mile section from Bolton
to Avalanche Creek is newly grad
ed, re-aligned, and surface-treated
with Oil and gravel, after long
period of work by the contractor,
Carl Nyberg of Spokane.
A new entrance to the park, I'M
derpassing the Great Northern Rail-
way short distance west of the old
grade crossing, and routing traffic
around the old town of Bolton and
the Park headquarters area, is now
open. The stores and postoffice of
Bolton have been moved to attrac-
tive new buildings on the new high
way just outside the park boundary.
1t is planned to locate the new park
headquarters building short dis
lance from the new road when
\ funds become available.
A four-inch center-line stripe is
to be painted in the center of the
road from Bolton to a point five
miles beyond Avalanche Greek as a
safety measure.
| On the eastern section of the
highway, a permanent pavement is
being laid by S. Birch and Sons,
Great Falls contractors, between
Logan Pass and St. Mary, consisting
of 2l4-inch bituminous surface
This wrok is being carried on in
short stretches at a time, so that
motorists will encounter no bad
road and only brief local delays
while waiting for a pilot car, the
superintendent said.
The entire highway, SO miles in
\ length. from the west entrance to
the ST. Mary entrance, was first
surveyed in 1924. So unusual and
so difficult were the engineering
| problems involved in cutting this
spectacular high-gear drive through
the heart of the mountains and over
Logan Pass that it was not until the
fall of 1888 that traffic was able
to follow the entire route.
Surface improvements have now
reached point where no part of
the road is marred by the mud and
dust that characterized the early
days. 1t does not appear that the
entire road will be surfaced with a
permanent paving of the type now
laid in the ST. Mary section for an
other three or four years, almos,
two decades from the time of the
first survey, but future improve
ment sare expected to consist only
of surface treatments which will
cause little or no inconvenience &c
motorists.

I'VE went as far as we could on
the left side of the stream" Tapley
said. Finally we saw passage
where we could easily walk. We
had started toward this when
slipped and dropped my fashlight
in the water.
There we were. more than two
hundred feet underground, wet.
getting colder by the minute, and
no light of any kind.
Hicks. who was rapidly becoming
numb. suddenly said he saw light.
II was the fashlight I had dropped,
burning brightly in eight feet Of
water.
Il Owed several times before
finally recovered the light. We at
once set to retracing our way
through the stream and the narrow
rock passages. Because I had put
fresh batteries in my flashlight. it
withstood the soaking it got and
enabled us to keep going full speed.
If it had failed. or even dimmed. it
would have left us. in our benumbed
state. without any means of getting
out"
Hicks was in such condition
when he emerged from the caves
that he contracted pneumonia and
was critically i'll. Despite their ex-
perience. the boys insist that they
are going to resume their efforts
to find new entrance to the caves.

7 OST, and rapidly becoming help
- less from cold as they waded
in darkness in an Icy stream 900
feet underground. two young men
narrowly escaped death in the
caves under Lookout Mountain,
Tennessee.
The pair, Albert Hicks and Louis
d. Tapley. both Of st. Elmo. Tenn,
were searching for natural outlet
for a portion of the caves known
as Ruby Falls. They descended to
4 depth of 26O feet and chose one
of the numerous passages that
honeycomb the mountain. For two
hundred yards the going was fairly
easy. then the ceiling began to get
lower. Finally they had to crawl
on their stomachs. In this way th"y
progressed several hundred feet.
At this point 4 carbide light
which Hicks was wearing on his
head. went out. Tapley then
switched on his fashlight and ii
was decided to go ahead. They
believed that they were already
through the hardest part of the
trip and that it would be foolish
to turn back.
They heard a stream of water
somewhere ahead and soon came
upon it. The going was still very
rough and the pair had to cross
constantly from side to side of the
stream. often swimming the icy
current.
