1.-THE PRESIDENT
ALSO SPOKE

"a Tribute to Abraham Lincoln)
-Four score and seven years ago,
our fathers brought forth upon
this continent a new nation ~
President Lincoln was beginning
his address at the dedication of the
National Cemetery at Gettysburg
but the crowd was so intent upon
applauding and congratulating Ed
ward Everett, the famous orator
who had preceded him, that they
missed the opening words Of the
speaker.
The next day the newspapers
published long stories of the meet
ing, giving commendatory report
of Everett's address. But in most
cases the newspaper accounts end
ed with the simple statement: 1.-THE
President also spoke"
Americans have little noted nor
long remembered what Everett said
there. His brilliant" speech has
long since been forgotten, but it
Is already clear that the world will
never forget what Lincoln did
there. His less than three hun
dred words have become known as
one of the worlds greatest speech
es.
Between his opening statement
that "our fathers brought forth on
this continent new nation, con-
ceived in liberty, and dedicated to
the proposition that all men are
created equal" and his closing plea
that "this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth Of freedom; and
that government Of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall
not perish from the EARTH" he ask
ed his audience to pledge them
selves to a new dedication which
would demonstrate that these dead
shall not have died in vain"
He etched indeliby upon world
history and literature as clear, as
lucid, as understanding statement
of what Americans have lived and
died for, as has ever been uttered.
Back Of Lincoln's speech, and
his warrant for it, was nearly a
century of history which tried
mems souls and cost the lives of
many thousands. In the face of
the perils that now confront Amer
lea, Lincoln's earnest plea persist
emily rings in our ears.
"The President also spoke"
And he is still speaking.-Dr.
Charles Stelze.

Sees Danger OF
Oil Shortage w
Northwest Area

Tyler A. Rogers Of wenatchee, Wash,
drilling the Norco well at that place,
is carrying on a propaganda intended
to command the attention Of the gov
eminent to the lack Of Oh prospecting
in the state Of washington where, he
believes. oil win be found as soon as
there is adequate geophysical research
and deep drilling.
Rogers submitted to the Cole COM
mittee a statement that the Northwest
would be IN serious danger In the
event of war which would of necessity
cripple the transportation Of oil from
California to Puget Sound and Port
land. Until Washington develops oil
production or pipelines are built from
producing fields outside the state, the
great shipbuilding and other defense
programs OF Oregon and Washington
are seriously endangered.
war IN the Pacific would mean lack
of oil to carry on work in navy yards,
shipbuilding yards, air bases, airplane
factories and military posts In the en-
tire country. He urges the use Of aban-
doned railway tunnels In the Cascade
mountains, miles in length, as possible
underground storage for gasoline and
oils to meet an emergency.

Mine School Grads
Haze No Trouble
Getting Good Jobs

BUTTE-Of the go young men who
graduated from Montana School Of
Mines in June, every one without ex-
ception has a job in the mineral in
dustry or has refused three or four
offers for one reason or another, ac-
cording to Prof. o. A. Dingman, who
is chairman of the Student Employ
ment committee at Butte's interna-
tionally known mining college
Indeed, Professor Dingman is wor-
ried over his inability to fill the re-
quests for young mineral technologists
which have been received, by tele-
graph, telephone, airmail and in per-
son. A South American company ca
bled last week for three metallurgists
at $3.50 q month.
Among those graduates who have
turned down job-offers are a group of
young fellows who are going into the
army or the navy. Another group in
cludes the four Turkish boys who are
making q tour of the Western Mining
camps before returning to Turkey to
engage In defense mineral production
In their own country.

years ago. Mr.. Antrim had great faith
in Montana and the Antrim farm,
operated by The Texas company, has
rewarded his faith by thus far pro-

Alaska Mines Beat
Boom DAYS in 1910

Mines In Alaska produced minerals
worth sos, 100000 In 1910, as against
SOS, 296, 900 in 1889, according 10 an
nouncement Of the q. s. O. g. The
total value Of the mineral output Of
the territory since 1880 is 1891 ,584. 600.
The value Of gold produced from the
mines Of the territory In 1910 marked
an an-time high, surprising even the
so-called boom days" Of the great
gold rush to Alaska. Placers produced
70 percent Of the gold, much Of which
came from the Yukon basin, there
being 40 dredges operating more
than IN 1899.
While there has been much talk Of
gigantic oil seeps IN northern Alaska
where drilling is contemplated, no
commercial amounts Of petroleum were
recovered In any Of the Alaska fields
in 1910, the report says. and 50 far
as reported to the Geological Survey
no active drilling was IN progress at
any Of the seepages.

USGS Makes
Contour Map of
PendrOu QUADRANGLE

The United States Geological Sur
vey has Just issued a new Montana
map showing the Pendroy quadrangle,
on a scale Of about one inch to the
mile and contour interval Of IS feet.
Copies can be had from the Director
of the Geological Survey, Washington,
D. C.
The map shows an area in Pondera
and Teton counties, In northwestern
Montana, a short distance east OF the
Rocky Mountain front. The southwest
corner is about II miles east Of the
Continental Divide. AS shown by the
contour lines on the map, the surface
is a nearly smooth plain above which
rise small hills and several ridges
with smooth, gravel-capped tops slop-
ing gently northeastward. Notable
among these are Porter Bench and
Frances Heights The highest altitude
in the quadrangle is about 4,625 feet
above sea level, at the head OF Porter
Bench in the southwestern part; the
lowest is about $500 feet, along the
streams in the northern and north
eastern parts. The high benches are

none of the mountain glaciers reached

Crude Market Is
Far Greater Than
GrOLUing Production

Motor fuel consumption continues to
set all-time highs each month, accord
ing to the monthly petroleum state
ment of the Bureau of Mines for May
which shows that May consumption
was II percent above year ago.
Stocks declined 100000 barrels dur
ing the month and the May 81 total
of 92,968,O barrels was nearly $780,
900 barrels less than in 1910.
The price index for petroleum prod
ucts in May was 553 compared with
5l9 in April and 507 in May, 1910.
Crude production was 7o,7OO barrels
above the April daily average but
1920 barrels below the average of a
year ago. Nearly all states showed in
creased production and refiners had
record breaking runs to stills Of B.
$4,000 barrels daily, the gain IN mar
ket exceeding the increase IN produc-
ton so that crude stocks declined 4
100000 barrels.

WGtchnleHl Are
Under Wage and
Hour LGID Scale

The danger Of attempting to COM
pute additional pay for overtime for
an employe covered by the wage and
hour law at a rate Of Tess than one
half times the regular rate at which
he Is employed" as required by the
statute. was pointed out today by Gen.
Philip B. Fleming, administrator of the
wage and hour division following a
case by Judge Eugene Rice in the q. S.
district court Of Muskogee, Okla.
The court ruled in this case that the
regular wage is to be computed upon
the basis Of the wages actually re-
ceived each week, divided by the num-
Der of hours worked each week.
The suit was brought by one Hubert
Hargrave, agent for certain employees
of the company, and the judgment was
entered effective June q, 1871.
In awarding back pay to several en-
ployes of the MIDI Continent Petroleum
Corp, and the Cosden Pipeline Co.,
engaged as watchmen to guard the
company's property, the court held that
this work came within the coverage OF
the fair labor standards act as a type
Of work necessary to the production
of goods for commerce. The fair labor
standards act (wage and hour law
applies to employees engaged in inter-
state commerce, or in the production
of goods for interstate commerce.
The employees In question were paid
more than time and a half for theil
overtime If computed upon the "3C
cents" stipulated in the law as mini.
mum wages. But, the court pointed out
the watchmen we're employed at more
than the minimum rate and therefore
the minimum was not the "regulal
rate" for the purpose Of determining
overtime compensation.
