THE STANFORD WORLD (PRESENT TOLLS ARE CONTINUED PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION DE- CIDES PRESENT TELEPHONE RATES ARE REASONABLE NEWS OF THE CAPITAL CITY Governor Stewart Has Issued a Proc. lamation Amending leis Former One 4 • Regarding Shipment of Hay Into State From Idaho Points a decision handed down by the Montana public service commis- sion continues In effect, until further notice, the toll and exchange rates and other charges for telephone service of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegruph cOfipany put Into effect by the government when it took over the 1111es under act of congress, and Post- master General Burleson ullOWed raise in rates. Government supervi- sion lasted August 1, 1910, at which time 'provision was made by statute continuing the then existing tolls and exelialige rules for a period of four months. Tin' commission instituted a hear- ing December 15, last year. to Jeter- mine the reysonahltsia& of the rates. :11111 as a reknit hos reached the con - erasion that the rates, raised during Ow vu t•. should he continued mad further notice.

It was then of the opinion on the show- ing made, that the company was en- titled to relief, for d ens 111111 been shown, due to increaser cost of M. terialg and labor. The company that year-1917—was beginning to expe- rience the; excess demands while its traffic load remained practically uni- form. * * * New Leases for State 011 Lands. Elimination of speculation in oil fields now being developed In Montana Is now being accomplished by the State board of hind commissioners in their action on oil and gas leases, according to Governor S. V. Stewart. As soon as some of the details of the new forms for leases. are completed by Attorney General S. C. Ford, all oil and gas leases In the future will be executed on the new forms. Among the Important changes in these leases is an increase from 10 to 15 per cent of the gross royalty to the state front any producing wells brought In on state owned lands, a higher rate for leases each year and also require- ments that tensors prosecute develop- ment work to a certain extent, along similar lines as reqUired in all mining claims, ' The board took tip the question of oil and gas leases at a meeting last week when plans' for changes were discussed. By requiring some work looking to development of oil and gas leases on state land, it is the belief of members of the board that lands will not be leased and held idle while efforts are node to boost the prices without de- velopmee t. * * * Quarantine Modified on Idaho Hay. On represeutotions made to him by owners of livestock in different parts of Montana, Governor S. V. Stewart has issued a prochimation amending that Issued January 27 this year re- garding the shipment of hay into Mon- tana from Idaho. Under the January proclamation no hay from any part of Idaho vould-be_Impurted Into Montana after February 28, the prohibition be. log due to the prevalence of the al- falfa weevil In that State. Under the amended proclamation hay may be shipped into this state prior to April first from Idaho, except from the counties of Bingham, Cassia, Bear Luke, Oneida. Bannock, Franklin, Power and Payette. The proclamation also provides that the \hay so shipped to be distributed and fed under the direction of the state livestock sanatory board of the state of Montana, and under such con- ditions as it may prescribe.\ * * * Large Percentage Farmers to Return. There is every reason to believe that the crop of winter wheat In Montana at the next harvest will be fully up to expectations, judging from the condi- tions reported in the winter wheat growing sections up to Mardi 1. These reports, made by county agricultural ogentri to Chas. D. Greenfield, commis- sioner of agriculture and publicity, cover 18 counties In the state and In hilt two is there any winter killing. Another good feature Is the report front two counties which suffered se- verely from the drouth last year, that from TO to 85 per cent of the farmers who left their farms last fall - are going to return in Bate for spring planting. * * * Appeal Ready on Order No. 4. Appeal frorn • the decision of Federal Judge George M. Bourquin, which dim - 'noted the Montana trade COnlinissiOn's efforts to fix prices under the state law, has been completed and Is on its 'way to the circuit court of appeals In San F i rancisco. The ease Is that which involved the right of the commission to enforce the famous generpi order No. 4, requiring merchants to display cost and selling prices. The court held the law unconstitutional and the coal• mission appealed. .11 - 040/72Vare /24727YrOtse42 9eril2.A5 NE of the beneficial results 01 of the war was the stimu- lation of Amerleao manu- facturers to provide sub- stitutes for countless prod- ucts which formerly had been imported from other countries, notably Ger- many. In the majority of cases these lionte-mattufactured prod- ucts were Just as good as the imported products had been, while in not a few instances they excelled them by a wide margin In point of merit and the cheapness and speed with which they could be turned out. One of the lat- est illustrations of what American en- terprise and ingenuity can accomplish has just conic to light in the announce- ment that a Chicago lapidary has per- fected a method of manufacturing agate guides for fishing rods which are not only far superior to those which formerly cattle from Germany— that being practically the only coun- try to make them before the war, but which can be turned out In a fraction of the time required by the German methods, Fishing rod guides made of agate hare long been considered by eXpert fishermen to be the best for the pur- pose; they give a fine appearance to the rod, are practically Indestructible. and permit of such !smooth finish that the wear on the line is reduced to a minyum. The Germans were the first to discover these merits of the agate guides and soon had a virtual monopoly of the trade throughout the world. Once having established this. and after creatiag the belief that good agate guides could not be made in any other country, they grew less partic- ular about the quality of the goods they turned out. As a matter of fact, during the last decade they were un- able to keep pace with the demand In this and other countries where fish- ing Is much In vogue, because of the very slowness of the methods they employed. The guides were all made up In the mountain country of Germany, where It was really a family proposition, a whole family drilling and grinding „guides during the whiter months by the crudest heed Methods and then In the spring selling their winter's out- put to the commercial buyers, through whom it finally reached America. Uniformity of size and style, and uni- formity of finish and degree of ac- curacy could not be maintained by so many different hands of more or less experience, especially under pressure of a large demand, and the result was that much inferior work began to be foisted upon the American market. To hide the inferiority of their work- manship and the many blemishes In their guides, the German makers dyed them a deep dark red color by boiling them in an iron solution. This practice also enabled them to slip through many imitation agate guides, which were made of nothing hut hard glass, and this was the more easily done because buyers had been led to believe that genuine agate guides should be red in coliii ----,--- This was the situation when a Chi- cago lapidary of many years' experi- ence, whose father and grandfather had been lapidaries before him in Amsterdam and familiar with the Ger- man methods of making guides, turned his attention to their manufacture on a modern scientific basis. The result of his efforts was the development of a retnarkable cutting drill by means of which he Is enabled to turn out large quantities of mechanically per- fect guides in a comparatively short time, each guide being left the natural coior of the raw agate. This drill not only works with ab- Mute precision, but will bore a hole of any desired size through a one- fourth inch slab of agate in from fifteen to twenty minutes. As against this, it took the German guide mak- ers trent fifteen to twenty hours to bore a similar hole through ft piece of genuine agate, using for this pur- pose a - so-cniled \bow\ drill. This drill was operated entirely by hand and consisted of a stout piece of wood bent into the shape of a bow by means of a leather thong, which In turn, was wound several times around a wooden spool four or five inches in length and half an inch in diameter. In the lower part of the spool was c(4 1X Cre.zz. 27_A tI w - .A ZZe.47 0 &124.' a42, zr,142, BY - 174' QM/U/ 1 V fastened the drill which did the bor- ing, while the upper part of the spool was fitted Into a hole in a horizontal piece of wood three feet long and two Inches square. This piece of wood was clamped at one end to another upright and stationary piece of wood, while the other end was held by the left hand of the person drilling and pressed against his chest. With his right hand he worked the how in such fashion as to cause the spool to rotate back and forth, a few turns at a time, thus working the drill and eventually making a hole through the piece of agate. finly through long practice could a perfect hole be drilled in this manner. and the process, as may be Imagined, was vcry tedious and in- volved much labor. Agate is an exceedingly hard min- eral and the hardest variety comes from certain volcanic regions in Uruguay. It Is imported to this coun- try by the Chicago lapidary through the American consul, who has It boxed and shipped to Chicago. the rosy stone, traveling some 0,000 miles before they reach the end of their journey. One box will contain ten thousand dollars worth of agate. When a shipment arrives the guide maker examines each piece of stone through a magnifying glass to locate any flaws and determine the best and most economical way of cutting it into slabs. A revolving circular steel knife is then used to cut the piece of agate into slabs about one-fourth of an Inchl in thickness. These slabs are then cut up into smaller pieces about an Inch square, -___The_small_pleces_ are then fitted Into the machine for fliflit ing, the size of the drill used depend- ing upon the size of the guide to be tialld ' e. When a hole Is finally bored through a piece of agate it is next ground into a circular shape on a grindstone by hand. This grinding takes -but a few seconds and the circular ring is then given a more exact shape on another grinding machine. The next step is to bevel the sharp Inner and outer edges of the agate ring. Finally the rings are polished and mounted in metal holders, either as guides or tips, ready to be fitted to fishing rods. The fin- ished product le a aelight to the an- gler's eye. The guides on a rod, as all belt - casters know, are an important part of its makeup. Fishing, as bait -cast- ers fish, is in no small part a matter c: mechanics. Rod, reel, line, leader, lure and hook are all essential parts of a delicate machine which the angler handles according to his skill—and luck. This delicate machine is no more efficient than its poorest part: And rough, untrue, undersized guides &in play the mischief with the effi- ciency atid durability of this intricate machine. Belt -casting, aside from the playing the bait -caster's machine --because Is the connecting link between the an- gler and the fish—Is the line. This line is a beautiful and delicate thing. It is made of braided silk because It must be small, supple, smooth and strong—small and supple, to lie com- pactly in the reel; smooth, to run with the least amount of friction through tip and guides—and leave the skin on your thumb; strong, to hold one of Dixie Carroll's old \Ile -whops.\ This beautiful delicate line must be cared for by the angler—not so much because it costs good money as because care is the price of safety. The bait -caster who knows his busi- ness and attends to it does not let his line dry on the reel to mildew and become rotten; he dries it In the air. Ile turns his line every few days, end for end, lie carefully tests the cast- ing end each day for strength. The enthusiast even keeps his pet lines In • air -tight cases during the closed sea- son. How, then, shall a bait -raster, with joy -forever, limbo° rod and a reel built like a watch and a pet line and a favorite lure. plit up with guides and tip that are open to suspicion? Ile just can't be expected to do it, that's all. \Other greyffes the angler may not have,\ writes Dame Julianne Berner% \savynge but yf ony tissue broke away after he is take on the hoke or cites that he catche nought, whyche ben not grevous.\ No; it Is not grevous\ to \catch° nought,\ for \catching fish Iii not nil of_ fishing.\ And pert of the other delights of fishbufle using n casting- rod—with perfect guides. of (lie hooked tish— :tat backlashes — Is an dirtiess repeti- tion of throwing out from 60 to 100 feet of line arid reeling it In. So the line must run freely front and to the reel through the guides anti tip. Friction makes for Imperfec- tion and Inefficiency and derange.

Possibly the most It Have Faith and Fear Not. This world Is largely what we make it. Destiny, environment, hereditary tendency—these things sink into insig- nificance beneath the power of our wills and the possiblities within our souls. The universe, with all its riches, all its privileges, all its joys, is ours for the getting. It waits to be conquered, hut it waits for the master hand. Formidable Is everything worth while to the fearful, to the doubtful, to the week In spirit. To these every obstacle is magnified. To the brave In heart there are no ob- stacles. They wade through them and use them as stepping stones.
