July IA, 1864, when four pros.
pectors known as the Georgian,
panned the gravel in a gulch theJ
had considered their last chance
on what had been a barren ex-
petition. If the Georgians were
really Georgians, they were
probably Democrats, but polite:
wasn't their interest. However
politicians were not long in COM
ing, and ever since they have
been panning for political gold
in the gulch and panning one
another.
So the gulch where the Geor-
gians discovered a golden harvest
became known as Last Chance,
but soon the street that twisted
along the diggings acquired the
more formal and dignified name
of Main street, and this continued
to be the official designation I'M
til a couple years ago when a
bunch of young bucks motivated
by the glamor of pioneer days,
persuaded the city fathers to
change the name back to Last
Chance.
Implications of the name Last
Chance are, it seems to me, rath-
er disturbing. Last chance for
whom? Could it be for people
from all over Montana who come
here with something akin to des-
peration to plead with legisla-
lures and officisldom generally.

In Last Chance gulch there is
a plumber who advertiseS his
business address as Bandit alley.
Banditry has not been a problem
in Last Chance gulch or its en-
virons since the Vigilantes used
the hangman's tree in nearby
Dry gulch with discouraging eff
fects on the grossly lawless eie-
ment. A clergyman reporteoly
had the tree chopped down.
Having in mind that on the
west slope of the gulch is the
federal tax collector and to the
east on the other slope is the
state tax collector, Last Chance
gulch should have been named
No Chance gulch.
Helena, which after Bannack
and Virginia City became the
territorial capital, was designat-
ed by the state constitutional con-
vention of 1889 as the temporary
state capital. This status became
as the result of a
free-for-all in which Helena and
Anaconda were finalists. In the
runoff, this was really a con-
test between two copper kings

Standard Oil
Develops New
Improved Gas

Billings - Standard Oil Com
pany recently announced its re-
search scientists have developed
a new gasoline that is 100 per
cent the product of science.
Every molecule of the raw ma
terial for gasoline is changed and
improved through recent scien-
tific developments, the company
said.
Chairman Robert E. Wilson and
President Frank o. Prior said,
in announcing the new gasoline,
that it is the farthest advance of
a scientific revolution that began
"A years ago. In 1913 Standard
Oil put into use a process it in
| vented for improving upon ma
ture through science by changing
some of the natural molecules of
crude oil into better ones for
motor fuel use. This patented
method, the Burton process,
doubled the yield of gasoline
from crude oil and made pos
sible mass S of an inexpensive
motor fuel.
A. c.. Martin, manager at Bill
lings, said the new gasoline is
being delivered to dealers as
quickly as possible, and will be
available in the Billings market
ing area by May is. 1t will be
sold under the trade name, Gold
Crown Super Premium. The COM
pany's former premium gasoline,
White Crown, is being discontin-
ued.
DR.. Wilson and Mr.. Prior said
the new gasoline has greatly i'm
proved octane performance. 1t
includes two new and exclusive
controls: for better combustion,
and for preventing fuel system
and carburetor corrosion. They
said that exhaustive tests show
the new gasoline will ensure
longer, peak engine performance
with less costly maintenance.
The new gasoline is designed
for use in the newest automobile
on the road or known to be on
the designing boards, they said.
1t is particularly desirable for
cars since the 1853 models.
A new higher-octane and
greatly improved companion gas
oline, Red Crown King size reg
ular, is being introduced along
the new Gold Crown. Red
Crowns step-up in octane also
from Standards new
science-fashioning process meth

The new Red Crown octane
rating is higher than that of

pumps are being reprinted in a

will be "packaged" in a blue and
white pump, topped by a gold

ed crown will stay on the Req
King size regular pumps,
,ut the pumps will be painted
ed and white.
The story behind the extensive
esearch and development of the
.ew gasolines was told to news
len at a special conference held
t Billings in the Turf Penthouse,
noon.
Exhaustive tests and a tremen-
Gus investment in time and MON
Y went into the perfection Of

The Sidney herald., 1957-05-16

the beginning u state govern
ment has been a rather figgcty
institution. Even now in this
relatively calm period you can
60 out to the capitol nearly any
day and find some official who
acts like he had just sat on an
ant hill.
Envious or otherwise biased
persons who sheer that Helena
is a town without industry seem
to forget that Helena's state and
federal payrolls and other gov
ornamental disbursements add up
to what might be termed an in
dustry of no mean magnitud :.
They seem to forget, too, that
Helena is the political jobbing
center of Montana, although this
could be disputed.
Also the community gets sub
stantial income from the people
who come here either to protect
themselves from government or
in efforts to persuade government
to protect them. Frankly, some
Of these folks merely have axes
to grind which in the public III
terest had better remain dull.
Likewise the legislature, al
though it regularly comes only
every two years, is a business
boon for the innkeepers, tavern
keepers, storekeepers and res
turanteurs Of Last Chance gulch.
l don't want to give the impress
sion that regarding the legisla-
ture the people of Helena are
dominantly commercial minded,
for Helena's residents r friend
ly and genuinely hospitable.
But not counting the four mem
bers from Lewis and Clark coun-
ty, 1856 lawmakers r required
to spend at least go days each
biennium at the seat of govern
ment, and unless they + indeed
frugal the $40 a day they are
paid doesn't get them by. More
so than years ago the members
bring along their wives, perhaps
chiefly because the ladies enjoy
the social life of the capital -
is the case with women gen.
orally, they like to do some shop
ping away from home.
l wouldn't say that the lobby
lists attending the legislative SEES
sions outpumber the legislators,
but there are many of them and
usually they are good spenders.
Hence the Helena business COM
munity has special reason for
lobbyists.
Helena is doing a notably fine
Job of developing her summer
tourist potentials, but not having
a Sun Valley or similar attrac-
ion, outside trade is liable to be
dull during the winter
season. Here is where the legis-
ure helps out, even though nor
nally it is in assembly only two
months every other year.

Shopping for gifts and souve-
Mrs ranks high among the ia
vorite pursuits of today's trans
Atlantic tourist. With so many
countries and cultures crowded
into a relatively compact geogra-
phical area. Europe offers the en-
thusiastic shopper an eye filling
wonderland of things to buy.
What and Where
Each country has its own par
ticular handicrafts and special
ties and the canny traveller who
has taken the trouble to learn
what to buy where" can often
save an impressive proportion of
the cost Of his trip by purchas-
ing gifts overseas.
Aiding and abetting the en-
thuSiastic shopper in this activity
is the United States Customs
Services which generously per-
mits returning citizens who have
been outside the country for two
weeks or longer to bring back
$500 worth of gift purchases
duty-free once every six months.
AS a further boon to overseas
shoppers. Customs also permits
vacationers abroad to mail home
gifts valued at $40 or less duty
free.
Although comparatively few
tourists realize it. you can buy
dozens of gifts such as textiles.
toys. gloves. handicrafts. cos
tune jewelry, ceramics. etc., at
shops overseas and natl them
directly to recipients in the
States via international parcel
post without having to list them
on your customs declaration
when you return to this country.
The only "under-$lO items"
which do not fall under this
duty-free arrangement are per-
fume. tobacco products and
liquor.
Antiques Duty-Free
Should you be a connoisseur
of antiques. you also may bring
or send home bona -fide antiques
Of any value duty-free provided
you have positive proof that they
were made prior to the year 1880.
With the spring travel sea-
son fast approaching, Europe's
shops and market places have
already stocked their shelves
with alluring merchandise for
the annual influx of visitors.
American tourists who arrive
ahead of the crowds will find
selections at their very best and,
in some cases, prices temptingly |
lower at the height Of the travel
season.
Here is a listing of some best
buys" in each Of the 81 member
countries of the European Travel
Commission:
Austria: Handknit sweaters: |

Wiser Counsel in Jokorto

Former Vice President Mohammed
Hatta Of Indonesia has drawn a fine
but significant distinction in his pub
hshed criticism Of President Sukarnos
anti-Dutch campaign. Mr.. Hatta was
leader in his country's fight for po-
litical independence and he remains In
favor Of eventual elimination of Dutch
economic influence, at least insofar as
1t Is controlling force in the economy
Of the republic. Likewise, he is a sup
porter Of the movement to make West
issue on which the current Dutch
Indonesian crisis arose.
But whether or not mis- position on
these matters is truly wise one, he has
in any case the perception and courage
to recognize that the tactics of the ia
karta government in recent weeks have
been irresponsible and destructive. They
are, he said. hurting Indonesia more
than the Dutch" and he warned that
the governments lack Of planning
almost to the point OF abdicating its
Observation-Disclosures the country with
famine and economic calamity. It is
q strong indictment, but news reports
offer considerable evidence to support 1t.
The seizure Of Dutch enterprises In
Indonesia few weeks ago was more by
mob action than by any orderly process
OF naturalization. One of the first
and not surprising results was that the
country's communications and trans
port system was virtually paralyzed.
For a country Of more than 80 million
persons spread over some 5000 islands
such a breakdown is an almost sure
guarantee OF disaster. II could have
been avoided, in Mr.. Hatta's opinion,
by program of gradual liquidation of
Dutch operations over period in which
replacement facilities and management
could have been installed. And on the
West New Guinea cause itself, Mr. Hatta
Is comparably realistic. Acknowledging
the obvious military weakness of the
country, he points out that the disputed
territory must be won "by peace, not
war"
Mr.. Hatta resigned from the govern
ment last year In protest at President
Sukarno's decision TO allow increased
Communist participation In political af-
fairs. Since then, Of course. Communist
voices have been loudest In anti-Dutch
propaganda and in agitation for annex
atiQn Of West New Guiisea. Mr.. sukarno

Symbol of an Era

Norma Talmadge, who died on
Christmas eve at her home in Las Vegas,
was very much the symbol OF an era.
How much, indeed, is attested by
one OF the current play hits on Broad
way. In this drama Of family life In
Oklahoma In the l920s, THE Dark at
the Top of the Stairs" Miss Talmadge's
name is introduced-out of the blue
in touchingly farcical scene. The 20s
were a period In which TO be obsessed
by the movies was commonplace, and
william Inge's play provides audiences
with roar when two OF its characters
begin to argue hotly over a question
about Miss Talmadge's religious faith.
Mr.. Inges scene is written senti-
mentally and nostalgically, with not the
faintest tinge Of irony. Miss Talmadge
could only be fiattered that he found
her name SO perfectly synonymous with
the silent picture era which she domi-
nated--all the way from $2.50-per-d
extra IN 1911 to a yearly income OF
three quarters Of a million when she
retired n $50. a

Humanitarian Victory
Our coun

Our country'S emergency program
for Hungarian refugees has now come
TO an end. 1t began In November Of last
year when the President ordered extra
ordinary measures to extend relief and
asylum to as many as possible of the
men, women and children then fleeing
in terror from the Kremlin's pitiless
repression Of Hungary's bid for freedom.
All told, before the heartrending exodus
had run its course, there were no fewer
than 100000 Of these individuals to be
taken care of-to be fed, clothed, housed
and given special guidance to help them
start life all over again in lands other
than their own.
To its eternal credit, the free world
reacted to this problem with inspiring
speed, ingenuity, co-operativeness and
the kind Of humanitarianism that bleSses
not only the beneficiaries but also the
doers of all corporal and spiritual works
of mercy. As far as the United States is
concerned (35 other nations undertook
similar measures), total of more than
$7l million-$20 million Of which came
from private sourceS-was made avail
able to meet the immediate needs Of the
escapes. In addition, during the past
year. We have welcomed into our coun-
try $4,000 Of these people, some 5000 Of
whom have immigration visas. As for
the remainder, they are still PAROLES"
but the President plans to ask Congress
once again for legislation enabling them
to live among us In regularized status,
either as temporary or permanent aliens
or as candidates for naturalization.
Despite this legislative deficiency,
however. our country's Hungarian pro-
gram-directed by the able Tracy s.
Voorhees-has accomplished immeasur-
able good. It's success in that sense, as
the President has said, is owing chiefly
to Americas traditional humanitarian
spirit, the dedicated work of the religious
and other agencies which transformed
that spirit into action and, finally, the
quality Of the refugees themselves" And
essentially the same thing holds true
for every nation that has participated in
this work. In short, all who have CO.
operated have reason to be gratified by
the results. BY way Of contrast, the
Kremlin can pride itself only on the
shocking thoroughness OF It's dark crime
against Hungary.
