Wash Electric Blankets

One manufacturer of electric
blankets advises washing them by
the same simple soap and water
method that's good for other blan-
kets. The reason is that chemical
cleaners would endanger the insu-
lation Of delicate wires with which
these blankets are interlined. He
also says that electrical blankets
should be washed by hand and not
in mechanical washer, for fear
that the violent motion Of the ma
chine might break some of the
wires.

stead of Sweet Grass county, for it
contains precisely the same misstate-
ments of fact as the senator used in
his successful efforts to defeat the bill
in the 1916 Legislative session, and one
new one. The new one is that Sweet
Grass county opposed the creating of
the new judicial district That is not
true, at least not as to the 1947 session
at which the bill was passed, unless it
may be said that Senator Olmstead
alone is authorized to speak for Sweet
Grass county. The representative
from that county, Mr.. Esp, worked and
voted for the bill and the members of
the bar of that county were unani-
mOusly for it. One of them was on
the committee of the bar of the Sixth
Judicial District which actively sup
ported the bill and accomplished it's
passage. If there was opposition from
Sweet Grass county other than that of
Senator Olmstead we never heard of
it in the 1947 session. The bill passed
the House unanimously, or almost So
1t has always passed the house by
heavy majorities. The only serious
opposition has been in the senate and
led by Senator Olmstead. He was
charged with accomplishing it's defeat
in 1915 by the familiar "log-rolling" or
vote-trading method. He was inform
ed that he was so charged and did not
deny it. One of his misstatements
now repeated in effect by Mr.. Mon
trose, was that the judge of the Sixth
Judicial District had so little to do that
he spent about half his time fishing.
The fact is that the judge during the
past ten years has had so little spare
time that he has been hard put to find
as much as ten days in any one year
for vacation of any kind, which is less
than a policeman, fireman, and many

state in 1929 became effective. Gala
tin county has more court business
than the other two counties of the
district combined, as well as close to
5000 more population according to the
1910 census, yet those two counties
combined have one more legislative
vote than Gallatin county With a
jury term on in Livingston, Gallatin
county has often been without dis
trict judge for two weeks at a time,
so eXigent matters in Gallatin county
required lawyers trip to Livingston
and sometimes Big Timber for court
order. Who does Mr. Montrose sup
pose paid for the lawyers time and
expense of such a trip? Clients paid
it of course, in addition to their taxes,
and the bill often amounted to more
than years taxes for the client.
A short time ago the Gallatin County
Bar Association gave a complimentary
dinner to those who had helped Gala
tin county finally achieve the justice
of a separate judicial district. Sen
ator Olmstead was included among
those invited. Although an answer
was requested none was received from
the senator, but it was explained at
the dinner that the senator had in
tended to be present but at the last
minute was prevented by some urgent
business for the Montana Power COM
pany
If Mr.. MOntrose and others like
him are really concerned about saving
money for the taxpayers, why do they
not do something about the grossly
unfair and tax burdensome apportion-
ment of legislative votes in Montana.
AS it stands it smells to high heaven.
AS the figures are given in the 1910
u. S. Census, eight Montana counties
with total population of 15,441 have
16 legislative votes to four for Gala
tin county with population of 1929
When it comes to comparisons with
the more populous counties of the
state, Silver Bow, Cascade Missoula,
Yellowstone and Lewis and Clark the
is even more shocking to a
sense of fairness, not to mention tax
expense. There is a field for the
energy, activity and journalistic ex-
pressions of Mr.. Montrose if he is
really in earnest about promoting the
welfare and conserving the pocket
books of the taxpayers of the state.

BEGIN DELIVERY OF 1900
NEW GREYHOUND BUSES

Pontiac, Mich, March 27-Produc-
ton of the largest order of inter
city buses ever placed went into
full swing today as Orville S. Caesar,
president of the Greyhound corpor-
alton, received delivery of the first
of 1900 "Silversides" coaches to cost
an estimated total of $37,500,000.
Until manufacture is completed
on all 1900 buses, which will replace
one-third of Greyhound's fleet, the
entire production facilities of the
new General Motors motor bus
plant here will be devoted to this
model. Production is expected to
reach eight buses per day when the
manufacturing program is well I'M
der way.
The 1947 Greyhound Silversides
incorporates a. number of important
design and mechanical improve
ments. The interior appearance is
entirely new and provides many in
novations for increased passenger
comfort. The 81 recliner-type seats
are spaced further apart to give
substantially more leg room than
in pre-war models.
Heat resistant glass is used in
the windows to reduce glare, as
we'll as warmth, from the SUI. In
addition, the windows are double
glazed to insulate against extremes
of outside temperatures and make
for more efficient operation of the
newly developed air-conditioning and
ventilation system.
Illumination for night riding has
been improved, with each passenger
an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
reading light. An added safety feat
ure for night operation is the fact
that the exterior of the Silversides
is outlined in a new-type of mater
ial which reflects the headlights of
approaching automobiles.
Mechanical improvements are nu-
merous and the most important is
that the horsepower of the Diesel
used in all Silversides has
been boosted from 165 to 240. This
greater eserve Of power will enable
the buses to maintain steadier
and faster schedules in
mountainous or hilly country.
AS the new Silversides are de-
livered, they will be distributed to
the various Greyhoud operating COM
in all parts of the country
on the basis of the number of buses
these lines now have in operation.

was in charge in the field of con-
struction of several large bridges
and viaducts. He returned to st.
Paul in February, 1907, to organize
a bridge department for the railway
and continued IS system bridge en-
gineer until October, 1916, when he
was promoted to chief engineer.
The period in which Mr.. Stevens
was in the engineering department
was n of heavy construction of
the main line and transition to
heavier power, necessitating stronger
bridges and viaducts and he designed
many new structures and reinforce
ments of existing ones. In 19O7-8,
he designed the supe%rstructures of
steel bridges and viaducts on the
Spokane, Portland and Seattle rail
way, then under construction be-
tween Vancouver and Spokane. AS
chief engineer he supervised the To-
cation and construction of numerous
N. P. branch lines throughout the
territory. He was promoted to vice
president in August, 1928.
Mr.. Stevens most far-reaching
contribution to the Northern Pacific,
according to his associates, was the
development of the vast Rosebud
coal field in south central Montana,
which he prevailed on his company
to open in 1923. This open pit
mining operation has been the prin-
cipal source of the company's To-
connective fuel supply for many years
and during the war it produced at
the rate of two and one-half million
tons a year.
For many years Mr.. Stevens has
been active in the handling of rail-
way labor negotions of national
scope.
Mr.. Judson entered railroading in
the engineering department of the
Spokane, Portland and Seattle rail-
way at Portland in 1912, following
schooling at Knox and Dartmouth
colleges. He began his career with
Northern Pacific at Centralia,

engineering department.
