No July 4 Festival
In Butte This Year

In view Of the seriousness OF the
war In Europe and the tragic need for
financial assistance for millions OF
refugees. the Butte Chamber of Com
merce has decided not to encourage a
Fourth of July celebration or any dem
onstration requiring large sums Of
money.
The action was taken by the execu-
tive committee of the chamber at a
regular meeting
Members of the committee declared
that such celebrations may be properly
enjoyed when the world is at peace,
but with millions homeless and in dire
need of the very necessities of life. it
is against the American sense Of pro-
priety to spend money for fireworks
and other entertainment.
Funds are urgently needed by the
American Red Cross in its tremendous
task of succor. Already the Red Cross
has doubled its appeal from 10 to 20
millions. More will be needed before
suffering of millions Of refugees can
be alleviated, the committee stated.

Creation of Glacier National Park 80 Years Ago
More Than Justified by Present Public Popularity

During the 80 years since Glacier
national park was created by an act
of congress, the bill for which was
introduced by Federal Judge Charles
sentative from Montana, that play
ground has become one of the most
popular tourist detectives in the United
States. The park officials expect the
present season will be the largest in
point of visitors that Glacier park
has ever enjoyed. A recent editorial in
the Great Falls Tribune recalled the
difficulties Judge Pray encountered in
his efforts to have this mountain area
set aside as a recreational preserve.
and suggests that 1t would be fitting
honor If mountain or lake in
Glacier park be named for him. The
Tribune's editorial follows:
Within few weeks Glacier national
park will open its season. 1t is antici-
pated that the flood of travellers, made
more American-minded because of
strife abroad, will give this park as
well as the other recreational areas
the best year to date. Certainly, Glacier
park. with its spectacular mountains.
waterfalls and lakes. is an attraction
worth coming thousands of miles to
see
Approach of the Glacier park sea-
son brings to mind the dedication of
this wonderland of mountains to pub
lie enjoyment. The park was estab-
lished May IL. 1910. Credit for its
creation goes largely to Charles N.
Pray, then congressman from Montana
now United States district Judge in
Great Falls.
Pray had no easy time attaining
his goal. In fact, the legislative path
he had to follow was beset with Sc
rious difficulties. There was much OPP
position including some powerful men
in congress But Congressman Pray
had some influential friends, who, al
though not in favor of the new ma
tional park. helped him along. Killed
at a previous session of congress. the
bill was apparently slated for execu-

forth The house battle was won on

WOULD EXTEND
PARK SEASON
MOVEMENT GROWS TO HAVE VEL
LOWSTONE OPEN FROM MAY
TO OCTOBER
Plan Is Given Publicity in Widely Cir
culated Magazine in Article Giving
Description of Winter Beauties of
National Playground.

The idea Of frightening the tour
ist season in Yellowstone park
from May to OctOber-is receiving
more and more attention, not only
in Montana, but in other sections
of the country as well, according
to articles that have appeared from
time to time. The latest publicity
on national scale is contained in
an article in the house publication
of the Ford Motor Co. The June
issue of the magazine devoted con-
siderable space to the great play
ground, not only boosting for
longer summer season, but giving a
marvellous description of its winter
beauties.
Recently, through the efforts of the
tri-state association montana, Wyo-
ming and Idaho, an organization
formed to give united support to the
park, further publicity was obtained in
the Camp Cabin owners magazine
which dealt exclusively with the parks
winter side-its unsurpassed beauty
when clothed in a beautiful mantle OF
snow.
Dr. H. F. Tavlin. secretary of the
Trl-State Yellowstone Park Civic as
ISOLATION. has written as follows:
That the frightening of the Vel
lowstone park touring season between
the months of May and October, along
with the winter beauties of the Won
derland. are beginning to receive ma
tional recognition is manifest in the
June issue of the Ford magazine,
which has wide national distribution.
Last winter the Ford Motor Co.
through agents. the Gateway Motors
Co. of Livingston, requested photo
graphs of Yellowstone in winter. along
with a feature story of the various
happenings in Yellowstone when it is
in winter dress The article is woven
around the early days of mail carrying
to Cooke City on Snowshoes from
Gardiner, to the present day when
the mail IS taken over snow-cleared
roads by motor by two young women,
and operates on a time schedule that
has amazed the most sanguine that
it could be done.
The 60 miles of road that is open
the year around in Yellowstone was at
first declared impossible of accomplish
ing, but due to the efforts of Senator
B. K. Wheeler a bill was passed that
furnished the finances to make the
attempt, and it has been done within
the limit of the money provided. 1t
has been a beginning of year-round
Yellowstone park, and two years ago
the majority of local residents who
had never before seen the park in
winter were treated to a most amazing
and beautiful experience, with the re-
suit that winter activities have taken
on a definite impetus. General knowl-
edge has begun to grow that Yellow

Northwest AirLines
Reports Big Increase
In FLyinq Business

A growing interest in flying brought
about in part by conditions abroad
is credited with helping bring about
more than a so percent increase in
passengers on Northwest Airlines
planes during last month.
The exact gain, Croil Hunter. preSi-
dent and general manager of N. w. A
announced, was 55.3 percent for pas
sengers carried and 701 percent in
actual revenue. The gains were over
the same month Of 1889.
A breakdown Of the figures on reser-
vations revealed, he said, that more
business executives are using airlines
throughout the territory served by
Northwest Airlines.
Other gains resulted from a desire
by American vacationgoers to see
America first this year because Of the
conditions in Europe.
In addition to the gains in air travel
revenue and the number of passengers
carried, there were increases in airmai
and express during last month, Hunter
said
Air travel out of Minneapolis during
May smashed all past records for thai
city which is the largest in Minnesota
and similar high marks were recorded
in other parts of the country.

A prominent Alaska canneryman, P. E. Harris, operator of the Hawk Inlet cannery near Juneau and of ether plants in Alaska, is featured in a recent issue of the Queen City publication Seattlife as a number one fish canner who never went fishing in his life.
 P. E. Harris, his first name is Prince, is painted as Alaskans know him. man with whom the future of the canned salmon industry is not picture of chaos and rubbery markets, but a picture of greater prosperity than the canning indus try has ever known
 Harris gave up contracting to fol- low the salmon canning business m 1910 Today he believes the indus try is getting out of it's infancy and that in the not-too distant future, ten millions of cases of canned sal mon will be sold from the Alaska canneries each year with ease and that freezing Alaska salmon in packages and cans is one of the greatest potentialities of the field
 But unlike the proverbial motor man going for a street car ride on holiday Harris himself doesn't like sport fishing. He hasn't time for |, and he doesn't like it.

KING OF UNDERWORLD NEW FEATURE PLAYING
 AT COLISEUM THEATRE

A new star comes to the Colise- um Theatre today in Warner Bros. latest melodrama, King of the Underworld" His name is Humph- rey Bogart, and featured with him is Kay Francis.
 Although Bogart has played fea- tured roles in many successful pie tures-among them Packet Bus ters,' The Amazing Dr. Glitter house and the sensational Crime Schoor'-he has never before actu- ally been star. King of the Un- derworld'' marks the climax of his swift rise to the top.
 In this picture he is a half vil- lainous, half humorous gang leader with enormous conceit-so much, indeed, that he makes prisoner a young novelist to write a eulogistic biography of him He wants the world to know him as the Napoleon of crime All this is reported to be very funny.
 On the other hand, he doesn't hesitate to make a prisoner of Miss Francis, a noted surgeon, so that she may dress wounds the gang sters receive in their conflicts with the police.
 Bogart's characterization of Red Gurney," the mob leader, is said to be one of his finest efforts. But he is outsmarted in the end by the woman doctor, and lands behind the bars.
