GLACIER PARK IS ANOTHER ALPS FORMED IN DIM AGES BEFORE MAN, BY SHRINKING OF EARTH'S SKIN TITANIC CRUMBLING OF OVERLAPPING EDGE CARVED FANTASTICALLY BY GLACIER AND STREAM Many hundreds, perhaps thousands of people who never heard of the Glacier national park before this spring will visit it this summer. It has been a National park since 1910, but in a period of utter public indifference to the glories of American scenery, it has passed almost unnoticed. Now that America has suddenly become aware that she possesses the most superb accessible scenery in the world, Glacier is destined to rapid recognition as the one real Switzerland of America. It is in northwestern Montana, close to the Canadian border line. The park derives its name from its 60 glaciers, but there are more than 90, all told, if one classes as glaciers many interesting snow patches of only a few acres each, which, nevertheless, exhibit all the characteristics of true glaciers. Its scenery is strikingly Alpine, yet it possesses individuality to a high degree. In ruggedness and sheer grandeur it probably surpasses the Alps, while geologically it is markedly different. It strongly differentiates from other lakes in all. Nor is this scenic wonderland merely a sample of the neighborhood. North of the park the Canadian mountains rapidly lose their scenic interest. South and wast there is little of greater interest than the mountains commonly crossed in a transcontinental journey. To the east lies the plains. This region appears not to have been visited by white men before 1853, when A. W. Tinkham, a government engineer exploring a route for a Pacific railroad, ascended Nyack creek by mistake and retraced his steps, when he discovered the practicability for railroad purposes of the country to be penetrated. GOVERNOR CALLS REFERENDUM ELECTION Young Non-Partisan Measure to be Voted Upon Oct. 28 Gov. Johnson on Saturday called a special referendum election for Oct. 28, to vote upon the Young non-partisan measures passed by the last legislature. The legislature had itself called an election for the same day for a vote upon constitutional amendments. The legislature being legally incapable of calling a referendum election upon the non-partisan measures, it devolved upon the governor to call such election, and there has been some speculation for several weeks past whether such referendum election would be called by him, but on Saturday he issued the proclamation, and the non-partisan bills will be voted upon, together with the constitutional amendments passed by the last legislature. The governor is a staunch supporter of the Young bills, being a candidate for United States senator on a non-partisan ticket next year. OXALIC ACID Oxalic acid is co printing, woven and in various hues specially the brushes and bonnet use nearly 3,000 whitening shirts eight to ten months usually consumed prior to 1903 in many England, Austria, which bined to form the price all over to the United States ranged from 80 The syndicate wore many, from white of the acid. In 1903 the acid was undertaken experimentally, plant being local No sooner did the plant come out than dicate than price 4.7c; 1904, 4.6c; 5.2c. This sort knocked the America the ring, and in syndicate raised and in 1907 to 90 can company make the syndicate do 6½c. The republican iff was up about American company which induced collective duty of 26 This duty was difference in cost at home and all product, and did the overhead costs. When this fact the foreign where it remained It strongly differentiates from other mountain scenery in America. Ice-clad Rainier, mysterious Crater Lake, spouting Yellowstone, exquisite Yosemite, beautiful Sequoia—to each and all other of our national Parks Glacier offers a highly individualized contrast. To define Glacier national park, picture to yourself two approaching chains of vast and tumbled mountains which pass the Continental divide back and forth between them in wormlike twistings, which bear living glaciers in every hollow of their loftiest convolutions, and which break precipitately thousands of feet to lower mountain masses, which, in their turn, bear innumerable lakes of unbelievable calm, offspring of the glaciers above; these lakes, in their turn, giving birth to roaring rivers of icy water, leaping turbulently from level to level, carving innumerable sculptured gorges of grandeur and indescribable beauty. These parallel mountain masses form a central backbone for the National Park. Their western sides slope from the summit less precipitately. Their eastern sides break abruptly. I is on the east that their scenic quality becomes titanic. To really comprehend the personality of Glacier one must glance back for a moment into the geological past when the sea or great lakes rolled over what is now the northwest of this continent. It was water that deposited the stratified sediments which are now these rocks. Untold ages passed, and the sea or lake bottom, under the urge of terrific forces hidden in the interior of the earth, lifted, emerged, and became land. Untold ages passed, and the land became hardened into rocks. And all the time the forces kept pressing together and upward the rocky crust of the earth. For untold ages this crust held safe. At last the pressure won. The rocks first yielded upward in long irregular wavellike folds. Gradually it devolved upon the governor to call such election, and there has been some speculation for several weeks past whether such referendum election would be called by him, but on Saturday he issued the proclamation, and the non-partisan bills will be voted upon, together with the constitutional amendments passed by the last legislature. The governor is a staunch supporter of the Young bills, being a candidate for United States senator on a non-partisan ticket next year. He has encountered much opposition in his own party to these measures. Col. Roosevelt himself announced his opposition to these bills in his recent visit to California, and it is announced that former governor Pardee, Francis J. Heney and former lieutenant governor Wallace will stump the state in opposition to the Young bills. Nine amendments to the state constitution will be voted upon. They are as follows: Increasing the terms of a superior judge to twelve years. Concerning the appointment by the governor of judges to complete the unexpired terms of members of the Supreme court. Providing for a State subsidy for agricultural and horticultural colonies under the form known as the rural credit plan. Amending present laws relating to the deposit of municipal money in banks. Providing that no law creating a bonded indebtedness shall be passed on an initiative petition except that it shall receive a two-thirds vote at general elections. Providing for condemnation of private lands for public purposes. This is intended as an auxiliary to the rural credits amendment. Removing the constitutional restrictions as to the amount of tax the Assembly may levy and providing for withdrawing additional property from city and county tax rolls and reserving it for state taxes only. Providing additional exemptions of parsonages and other church property from taxation. Conferring additional powers on counties in relation to special charters. The cost of the special elections is estimated at $500,000. Four-fifths of this falls directly upon the counties. A feature of this election is that the big public utility companies, the railroads and the insurance companies iff was up about American company which induced collective duty of 20% This duty was difference in coats at home and all product, and did not overhead costs.

Untold ages passed, and the land became hardened into rocks. And all the time the forces kept pressing together and upward the rocky crust of the earth. For untold ages this crust held safe. At last the pressure won. The rocks first yielded upward in long irregular wavelike folds. Gradually these folds grew in size. When the rocks could stand the strain no longer great cracks appeared, and one broken edge, the western, was thrust upward and over the other. The edge that was thrust over the other was thousands of feet thick. Its crumbling formed the mountains and the precipices. When it settled the western edges of this break overlapped the eastern edge ten or fifteen miles. This thrusting of one edge of the burst and split continent over the other edge is called faulting by geologists, and this particular fault is called the Lewis Overthrust. It is the Overthrust which gives the peculiar character to this amazing country, that and the inconceivably tumbled character of the vast rocky masses lying crumbling on its edges. Thus was formed, in the dim days before man, for the pleasure of the American people of today, the Glacier national park. Today the visitor finds this the most wonderful combination of mountain tops in America, bounded by vertical walls sometimes 4000 feet in height diversified by many glistening glaciers and by beautiful timbered slopes leading down by graceful curves to the bottom of deep valleys. Scores of lakes are unsurpassed in sheer beauty by any even of Italy and Switzerland. There are more than 250 The cost of the special elections is estimated at $500,000. Four-fifths of this falls directly upon the counties. A feature of this election is that the big public utility companies, the railroads and the insurance companies pay no part of the cost of this election. They pay state taxes only and are exempt in an election where the money comes from the treasuries of the counties and not from the state tax fund. Attorneys have expressed the opinion that an appeal to the Supreme court would defeat the attempt to combine the referendum and the constitutional amendment elections. But the state committee, under whose direction the referendum petitions were circulated, has issued a statement that it will not oppose joining the elections, as it will save almost half a million dollars to the counties through holding one election in place of two. In the first two months of the present fiscal year, the administration has incurred a deficit of $29,217,775. The net balance in the treasury on August 30 was $52,723,742, as compared with a balance of $127,211,118 on the same date two years ago when republican revenue laws and appropriations were in effect. George Hatfield and L. Wisser went out after doves Friday afternoon. "After" is about all they got, and they are of the same opinion as Tommy Hedges, that limit bags of doves are few and far between. OXALIC ACID—MADE IN AMERICA Oxalic acid is used in tanning, callo printing, woolen and silk dyeing, and in various bleaching processes, especially the bleaching of straw for nats and bonnets. The laundries also use nearly 3,000,000 pounds a year in whitening shirts and collars. From eight to ten million pounds annually consumed in this country, and prior to 1903 it all came from Germany, England, Norway, Belgium, and Austria, which countries had combined to form a syndicate to control the price all over the world. Prices to the United States at that time ranged from 8 to 11 cents a pound. The syndicate was controlled by Germany, from which came three-fourths of the acid. In 1903 the manufacture of oxalic acid was undertaken on a small scale, experimentally, in this country, the plant being located in Pennsylvania. No sooner did the construction of this plant come out of the attention of the syndicate than prices dropped in 1r03 to 4.7c; 1904, 4.6c; 1905, 4.7c; 1906, 5.2c. This sort of price cutting soon knocked the American company out of the ring, and immediately the oxalic syndicate raised the price to 7½c, and in 1907 to 9c. In 1908 the American company made another start, and the syndicate dropped the price to 6½c. The republican revision of the tariff was up about that time, and the American company presented figures which induced congress to give a protective duty of 2c a pound on the acid. This duty was based solely on the difference in cost of common labor at home and abroad, per pound of product, and did not take into account the overhead charges and selling costs. When this duty went into effect the foreign price went to 71-4c, where it remained through 1910, 1911, and 1912. WEDDING BELLS RING AT M.E. CHURCH MISS KATE SUTHERLAND DAUGHTER OF PASTOR, BECOMES BRIDE OF CHARLES MCULLAH YOUNG COUPLE LEAVE FOR SAN FRANCISCO ON A HONEY-MOON TOUR Before a crowd of guests which completely filled the Methodist church Friday evening, Miss Kate Sutherland, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. C. H. M. Sutherland, was united in marriage to Charles McCullah of Hanford. Anouncement of this wedding was made several months ago, and friends of the bride at the time believed it was staged for a day in June, but the young couple had other plans. The church was profusely and artistically decorated with green and yellow and an arbor of the same colors had been erected under which the ceremony was performed. At 8 o'clock the bridal party arrived and took their places under the arbor while Miss Luna Wellman, who presided at the plano, played the wedding march from Lohengrin. James Sutherland, brother of the bride, acted as best man and supported the groom, while Misses Irene Mills, Margaret Muller, Gertrude Van Aken and Anna Kettler attended the bride, Miss Kettler being the maid of honor. Misses Norma Armbrust and Charlyn Tedrick were the flower girls who stroked roses.

This duty was based solely on the difference in cost of common labor at home and abroad, per pound of product, and did not take into account the overhead charges and selling costs. When this duty went into effect the foreign price went to 71-4c, where it remained through 1910, 1911, and 1912. By some pretty close figuring the American company was able to operate at a profit, and it acted as a check on the foreign syndicate methods of price controlling. A large share of the annual consumption was being manufactured in the United States, the only money going abroad was for the purchase of potash, the raw material; American labor was being employed at wages which enabled the men to be good customers of the clothier and the food producer, and the country was the possessor of a new industry, which would, if properly fostered, rendered us wholly independent of Europe. Then came the destructive tariff legislation of the democratic party, which sneaked into the capitol through a crack in the protective party wall. The duty on oxalic acid was cut 25 per cent. This was too low for protection, but it gave the foreign syndicate the opportunity to dump oxalic acid on this market, and they lost no time in taking advantage of it. The first quarter of the fiscal year 1914, under republican law, 1,600,000 pounds were imported; the second quarter, when the Underwood law took effect, 1,720,260 came in; the third quarter, 2,600,000; the fourth quarter, 2,850,000 pounds. Then came the war, acting as a high tariff and the American company is now recovering from the shock. Even yet, however, the importations for the ten months ending April, 1915 amounted to 4,300,000 pounds. If that meant and a half duty remains in the law when the war has ended, Europe will hand the American company a side-winder from which it will never recover, and another skeleton will be found lying alongside the trail of the free traders in Congress.

VEEDOL OILS Day and Night Service Expert Mechanics COPPER MINES FLOURISHING With the price of copper hovering close to the 20-cent mark, the great mines of Arizona are being worked to their fullest capacity and it is a poor miner, indeed, who cannot get a job at from $4 to $6 a day. At the beginning of the Euorpean war copper was worth barely 13 cents a pound. In 1907 it dropped within a week from 25 cents to 10 cents—less than the cost of mining. But regardless of what the price may be, the industry of copper mining goes on year after year, and the heavy ores are secured in a great variety of ways. In one part of the camp men may be seen bewing the copper-bearing rock from the side of a mountain; in another, it is being taken out through a drift; and still farther on, it is lifted straight from the bowels of the earth over 1000 feet. At the great smelters the ore is fed into furnaces and comes forth a reddish stream. And after twenty years of this incessant activity the supply of ore has yet to show the first sign of exhaustion. MELTING FOREIGN COINS Foreign coins of a value of $18,740,-270 have been received at the United States mint in San Francisco for recoining since June 30, 1915. T. W. Shanahan, superintendent of the mint says the deposits exceeded by many millions the average amount of foreign coins received for conversion into American money. A total of $11,216,014 in English sovereigns was sent from Australia; $6,353,066 in gold Japanese yen has been received. Gold bars, melted from Chinese coins, valued at $1,-171,200, are also at the mint. A consignment of English sovereigns valued at $5,500,000 is expected from Australia this week. Since last October gold bars valued at $8,-353,728 have been received from China. The money was consigned to San Francisco bankers and transferred after its arrival, to the mint. There is $310,000,000 in gold bars awaiting coinage at the mint. Upon receipt of the foreign coins they are melted into bars.
