FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1924
The plan for the erection of a
tting monument to the soldier, dead
f this county, who died in the ser-
ice of their country during the late
rar, should meet with instant favor
nth every loyal American in Tilla-
look county.
The Women’s club of this city
hould have the credit for initiation
f a work that ought to have been
tarted and completed, at an earlier
eriod. The failure to properly re-
lember “those who marched away,
ever to come back,” was not so much
n omission of the mind as a lack of
litiation; but it is but charitable to
»y that it was not a mistake of the
eart. The masses do have in their
earts a feeling of deep sympathy
nd reverence for the boys who fell,
nd nothing but good will for the
djs who survived, and who are with
B today.
Let us help these good women to
ut over with a rush, the last and
est thing we can do for the soldier
ead of our country, that their names
lay be perpetuated in the marble of
me for their heroic sacrifice.

vestment in anything that produces Fred C. Skomp of upper Trask river,
and promises real cash dividends that regarding the discovery of what he
are beginning to come to our State believes to be a deposit of Bauxite
from the invesment in highways.
Modern highways for motor traffic
form the third great transportation
system of our country and it promises
to be the largest in point of invest
ment and service and the most flex-
ible.
First, our transportation was con-
fined to water and beginning with
1828 we reached out into the interior
and developed that by means of the
railroads and now practically within
the last two decades we have rapidly
developed the highway transportation
system which was made possible by
the invention and use of the motor.
There is approximately $19,000,000,-
000 invested in railroad transporta
tion in the United States, consisting
of the right of way, ’road bed, ties,
rail, depot buildings and equipment.
There are 2,500,000 miles of high
way in the United States that will
cost approximately »15,000,000,000 to
improve for motor traffic to a point
where it will serve the needs of its
locality and purpose.
There are something like $15,000,-
000,000 worth of autos, trucks, and
motor cycles using the highways and
we have evidently not yet reached the
saturation point. This then shows an
investment in highway transportation
50 per cent greater than that in rail
road transportation and yet we have
a place in our economics for all three
systems and instead of any of them
being antagonistic to another they
should each seek and be satisfied with
the field in which they are peculiarly
fitted to render the best service—for
illustration, on transcontinental haul
ing neither the motor nor the rail
road are best fitted. This because
heavy low-priced products can best
be sent from the Pacific coast to the
Atlantic Seaboard by water—from the
coast line to the interior over dis
tances in excess of 100 miles the rail
road is best suited to carry the ton
nage. For distances of less than 100
miles the motor and highway are best
fitted to serve the purpose, for that

The article is too lengthy for re-pub-
lication, at this time, owing to the
demand made upon the paper for
current local news, but the discovery
of the article leads to the question:
What mineral assets have we in this
county, and to what extent has the
county been prospected? As a rule
geologists have not enthused much

not be strange if beneath the surface
of the present deposits of earth, there
might be found at considerable depth,
with occasional outcroppings, valu
able minerals, such as Bauxite and
other metals heeded at the present
day in commerce and science.
Gold has been found in this county,
and there are quartz claims on which
work is now being kept up yearly.
From Bauxite there is extracted by
certain chemical treatment, the beau
tiful metal commonly known as alum
inum. It was first discovered ac
cording to the article before us, by a
metal worker in the year 41, before
the birth of Christ, The artificer
presented a beqptiful cup made of
aluminum to Tiberius the reigning
emperor, who fearing that it might
displace gold and silver as a money
metal, had the discoverer decapitated.
Later it was found in Baux, France,
and from that incident dérives its
name Bquxite.
During the world war Mr. Skomp
had an article printed in the Head
light, suggesting that the deposit he
is quite sure he discovered in this
county, be used for the extraction of
aluminum for use in airplane con
struction. The article is mainly de
