The Gallatin valley people have formed a boosters club, with head- quarters at Bozeman. The Butte mining stock exchange opened for business Monday morn- ing, anti appears to have started on a prosperous career. Range conditions in Dawson county last week were the worst known in a quarter of a century, and Chouteau they were almost as bad. The poultry show at, Great Falls next week promises to be the beat and most successful affair of the kind ever attempted in the northwest. The petition of the teachers in the Great Falls public schools for an in of $10 per month in their pay has been denied by the board of edu- cation_ Senator Carter states that his bill authorizing the construction of a dam across the Missouri 12 miles north- east of Great Falls, will be favorable reported by the committee. T. M. Kettle, the Irish member of parliament and Irish envoy, was well received at Butte and Anaconda last week. He also delivered an address at the Anaconda high school. Plans for an electric road between Helena and Butte are under consider- ation by a group of capitalists, and the prospects for going ahead with the enterprise are said to be bright. The new Line will gave 63 miles of road and the trip will be made in an hour and 40 minutes. The Maloney land case, involving entries made by citizens of Culbert- son, has been transferred to Great Palla, the attorney for the contest- s ants charging that a mob had been ' organized at Culbertson to lynch the ts, if necessary, in order to prevent a hearing. Frank Carpenter and James Gerber- ich, two boys who last week deliber- _ Maly_ murdered- a. inan...irl Cherge of the Parrott ranch, in Deer Lodge county, for purposes of robbery, and who subsequently confessed to the shocking crime, have been charged with murder in the first degree. HOMESTEAD SETTLERS. Special Order Granting Them a Leave of Absence. The following special order has been wired to the register and receiver of the local land office: \Homestead settlers in your dis- trict are granted leave of absence from their land for a period of three months from Jan. 18, provided that the period of absence shall not be de- ducted from the full time of residence required by law. Application for leave not necessary. \G. F. POLLOCK, \Acting Commissioner.\ This order is similar to that made for the especial benefit of settlers in the Dakotas, where the fuel famine threatened to callae great and gener- al suffering among them. These con- ditions do not, of course, prevail in this district, but the uuusual severity of the winter up to a abort time ago ts supposed to have prompted the ac- tion taken. it will be seen that the D ealer who leaves the land under this order will not really gain anything, as he will have to make up the three months later on. The following land contests have been filed In the local office: Clara M. Scott against Bryan Scott, Involving desert entry on land in sec- tions 19 and 30, township 12 north, of range 16 east. Thomas W. Harper against Outs. M. Hansen, involving homestead en- try in section 10, township 18 north, of range 7 east. Rasmus Gooder against A. G.

VALUES OF SELF-DENIAL. and which constitutes human good - ness and nobleness, is self -forgetful- ness, self-sacrifice, the disregard at personal indulgence, remote or pres- ent, because some other line of con- duct is more right.\ The germ and fruition of our civ- ilization are found chiefly in the home, and the Progress of the family is founded upon the self-denial practic- ed by the parents for the welfare of their children. What is called patriot- ism is an extension to a broader field of the practice of self-denial. Good citizenship and all the patriotic labor and sacrifices made by good men for their country and the common weal are facts of self-denial prompted by that spirit. —Philadelphia Ledger. Foundation Principal in Building Men, Homes and Nations. Several years ago a young man of a well known family In a southern state held an excellent position in one of the most famous of preparatory schools in the east. He had distin- guished himself at coflege, he was in- dustrious and able, and he received a salary which was more than ample for the needs of a single man. After he had been teaching two years he received a very affecting ap- peal from his home town to aid a man who had very greatly befriended him anti helped him during his struggle for an education s real catastrophe had reduced this good man from a posi- tion of affluence to the direst need, and when he was standing on the brink of the grave, owing to an in- curable illness, which Vas hastened and aggravated by the overwhelming misfortune, he bethought himself of his yea g ferend. — The young teacher was fully sensi- ble of the reasonableness of the re- quest and of the nature of the obli- gation which, by all that was sacred and honorable, impelled him to aid the stricken family. He intended to do something when he could, but he had been leading a self-indulgent kind of an existence, and somehow, In spite of the uneasiness he occasionally felt when he thought of the plight of his former friend, week followed week and month succeeded month and the teacher did nothing. Finally the wretched victim of an unkind fate died, but before he Was departed from big destitute family he declared that the young man who had failed to re- opond to the cry for help had exhib- ited the blackest ingratitude and self- ishness that he could even imagine. Eventuallythe younng teacher went to the state of his birth In order to take advantage of a quite extraordi- nary opportunity to enter politics. His name, his undoubted brilliance, his family connections opened all avenues to him; but the story of his treatment of an old friend somehow got abroad, and the manager of his party's cam- paign, who was a bluff, hearty man of rugged honesty and humanity, declar- ed flatly that the aspirant had shown \the yellow streak,\ and that he was a coward and sneak and unworthy to represent any sound -hearted American community. Others were led to take the same view, and the young man's career met with a cold and nipping frost which blighted it Those who knew this young man were aware that he was not evil at heart; that he had good impulses, but was quite incapable of practicing any sort of real self-denial. There are many like him, if the funds had been In the bank he would have showered them with a careless hand upon al most any one with any sort of valid claim v,ho might have applied to him for help, but he was not the man to make an active effort, not in the habit of sacrificing his own comfort and ease, not schooled in self-deatal of any kind i'hito.onher', have derided the teach- ings which include self-sacrifice and self-denial and altruistic tendencies, on the ground that these teachings have no philosophic baste. Self-Inter- est—enlightened self-interest Is the phrase—is the only intelligible foun- uation, according to these philoso- phers, which will bear the test of rea- son when subjected to the keen and final analysis. R is curious to note also that the doctrine and the practice of self-sacrifice and self-denial always strike the rudest and most degraded savages still remaining on earth with the greatset astonishment, In New Guinea, In Dahomey, in the South Pacific, where the barbarians are nearest the condition of the ab- original man, the natives never cen quite comprehend the motives of those missionaries and other well-disposed civilized Teen who put themselves to any pains for the sake of strangers In a far land. But in all civilized lands, however mueli philosophers may dispute about the sanctiens and war- rants for any scheme of conduct which is not based on self-interest, the wise and simple Seem nevertheless to rec- ognize the tremendous fact that our manners, the beauty of life and .its beroleme, the progress of nations and peoples, and our very cdvillsatteili, SU rest on the basis i iiiLivIP allin .,\That which Jo es a high or'ft• Of WORTHLESS PUBLICITY SCHEMES AT THE BIG Why Local Advertisers in Many Cities Unite In Use of Newspapers Only. Advertising schemes of all kinds were placed under the ban, by the Re- tail Merchants' association of Joplin, Mo., recently, and a resolution was adopted to enter into no advertising plan other than the use of newspaper space. A motion prevailed to name an advertising committee of three to whom all schemes for advertising oth- er than newspaper space will be r fr ferred, the association members agree lug to be guided by the decision of the committee. The secretary reported correspon- dence from the associations at Hous- ton. Oklahoma City and Little Rock, where similar plans have been adopt- ed, the report from Houston being that the association had saved $7,000 in one year by restricting their advertis- ing expenditures to newspaper space. The Retail Merchants' association of Richmond has practically resolved to limit Its advertising to newspapers. Commenting upon this decision the Jackson (Mich.) Patriot says: \The emphasis placed by the Rich- mond commercial body upon the su- perior value of advertising in news- papers is based not only on right theory, but also on practical exper- ience. A great deal of money is wasted in injudicious advertising, and many varied and novel schemes which business men are solicited to adopt are more profitable to the promoters than to the advertisers. \Any form of publicity may have a certain value, but often the method is not suited to aid the business which adopts it, and much money is thrown away on advertising which does not reach the people for whom it is main- ly intended or meets their eyes casu- ally when they are absorbed and in no mood to give it consideration. \Advertising in the periodical press, and especially in the newspaper, has a great advantage over any other kind of advertising for reasons that may be readily understood. In the first place, the newspaper affords a wider and prompter publicity and a more effective distribution of the advertis- ing information than any other means that could possibly be employed. The daily paper goes into many thousands of homes every day and is read by many thousands of people. \' \In the newspaper the advertiser can bring his name and his wants or bargains to the attention of thousands when they have the time and disposi- tion to give a deliberate and undis- turbed attention and consideration to what is presented to them In the col- umns of the journal.\ The Richmond resoltion is similar to the action taken by commercial bodies in cities in various parts of the country.—Fourth Estate.

William Root registered at the Shaules Monday. A serious accident occurred Wed- nesday morning while Arnott Johnson and some other small lads were coast- ing on the hill back of the post office. The little fellows ran into a tree and were all thrown violently to the ground, Arnott sustaining a fracture of the leg above the knee. He was taken to the Shaules--where he is visiting his grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dunaen—and a physician was called who reduced the fracture. He is doing as well as can be expected at present. LIFE IN GREAT ALTITUDES. Tests Made as to How Rarefied an Atmosphere Can be Breathed. Elow high in the air can a man rise taltlitibi: dying? Twenty years ago it was thought that it would be impos- sible to breathe at an atmospheric altitude exceeding 8,000 meters—or, at the most 9,000 meters. It was sup- posed that a man would lose con- sciousness if he were to be carried about 6;000 meters into the upper air. A writer (Henri De Parville) in Les Annals of Paris recalls the fact that two aeronauts out of the three who died In the memorable ascension of the balloon Zenith lost their lives from accidents produced at an atmos- pheric height of 8,000 and 9,000 me- ters. Paul Bert proved that repeated in- spiration of oxygen makes it possible to avoid fatal accidents ha the great- er heights of the air and three years ago Behring and Suring at Strae- bourg reached the greatest height ev- er attained -10,600 meters. Yet they inhaled oxygen, fainted toward the finish of the ascension and since then no one has tried to go higher. Prof. Mosso of Turin experimented over a theory concerning the cause of asphyxiation at great heights and it is important to remember that he arrived at the conclusion that a mail must respire oxygen mingled with a strong proportion of carbonic acid if he would successfuli fight the dangers of the rarefaction of air. The theory was new and it appeared questionable, but it is said to be cor- rect. A pupil of Prof. Mosso (named Agazarotti) repeated the experiments made by MOsso. He did not go up in a balloon, but shut himself up In a ball, where, by means of a pump, a gradual increase or rarefaction was produced. In the bell was a faucet connected with the outer air and all the products of respiration were pumped out of the bell. Agazarotti covered his face with a mask furnished with two valves. One of the valves let out the vitiated air and the other let in oxygen ming- led with carbonic acid. The propor- tions were 67 per cent oxygen, 13 per cent carbonic acid and the remain- der azote. Within thirty minutes the air was rarefied to a pressure of 400 milli- meters which Is about the same as the atmospheric pressure on Mont. Blanc. The experimenter felt noth- ing abnormal, but a few minutes lat- er, when the rarefaction reached 800 millimeters, there were symptoms of asphyxia. Then the oxygen and car- bonic acid mixture was sent into the bell and Agarszarotti was relieved immediately. He then found that he could bear a pressure lowered to 140 millimeters. Later the air was rarefied to 12 millimeters of mercury and said Agazarotti as he came out of the bell: \I could have resisted even a greater rarefaction, for my memory was clear and my movements were normal.\ Some time afterward Agazarotti made his third experiment and the rarefaction produced corresponded to an altitude of 14% milometers (a milometer is 1,092,639 yards), which exceeded by four kilometers the great- est height ever reached l by man.— Review Of Reviews.

A Ballad of the North. Old Captain Olaf Simeon was a Dane who wished to flit Straight to the Pole and be the first to tell it \Tag you're it!\ And so he built the \Icicle a stanch Ice -butting craft, With iron nippers on her bow and twisted tweeters aft_ He bought a kind of anchor which, when let down way up front, Not only stands an impact, but, if needed, bears a brunt, He also purchased sledges strong and Borealis mile, And put three coats of Anti -Freese up- on his vessel's sails. He got hot-water kettles, too, to pour upon the ice, And melt it in a jiffy—in a moment— in a trice! He signed a hardy, Danish crew of mariners, yo ho! With individual mufflers on each fing- er and each toe. He got enormous quantities of food, whole kegs of grog, Besides a large, fur -coated book in which to write the log. And than he stood upon the deck and made a speech intense. (The crew's enthusiasm was, appar- ently, immense ) .4.1 last the fatal day drew near—all Denmark swelled with pride, But Captain Olaf Bimeen, most un- fortunately, died. The trip, of course, was given up; the \Icicle\ was sold. (She's now a ferryboat, I hear, lerixt EllUop and Westenskjold.) —THOMAS R. YBARRA in N. Y. Times. Pointed Paragraphs. Turn flattery upside down and you have slander. There are some ministers who prac- tice what they preach. Nine times out of a possible ten it's good policy not to. Being a yellow dog isn't as bad as being called a cur. Sometimes the halfblack thinks that he is the whole thing. Marriage isn't a failure unless the parties to the contract are. Misery may love company, but com- pany never loves minere. Some men consider an ounce of graft worth more than a pound of honesty. ADVERTISED LETTERS.
