Finally when Hazel street w’as roachod,he rang, and tho car came to a stop.) “ This is Hazel street,” said the gen tlemanly conductor. “ Ob, I don't want to got off at that street; I only wantod to know where it was, I go to the end of the line.” Then ps tho car started again, she looked down at the pup ..and said in tones of extreme affection:.; “ There, dearie, thoro is whore your., mudder lives.]” - .

San - Francisco, ’Aug. 26.—James Jeffries and Gus Ruhlin last night signed articles withthe /Twentieth Centùrÿ.'Alhletic cliib for a*.20• round cohtèsÉïnlthe early partoLNovomb'er, the date io he fixed later.', ...i^he-club gaarémb^tboifightqrUf^^ér^pêntpf During the past few years there has been some attention paid to the matter of better blood among tho herds of tho stato, but the advance in (hat direction has not been so great as in some other states whore the stock interests are not so large. Ex perience is proving to the thinking stockman that he can raise a sleGr that, at threo years old will weigh 300 pounds- more than tho one bo is now producing and with practically no added cost excepting the selection and cost price of full blood sires. Many mon have g6ne east andjndi- yidually shipped pure bred animals’ to Montana, but whon brought in less than carloads it is expensive and few have undertaken the task. Some good herds nave been started in Montana, but as yot the product of the thoroughbred bands are insignifi cant compared with the demands. . The auction sales of pure bred cattle have proyod so popular in tho east that one has been arranged for Montana, at Helena, on September 13. The Woods Investment Co. of Lin coln, Nebraska, have undertaken the matter, and President Mark Woods of that company, made it a personal matter to interest some of the large breeders of cattle in the corn belt. Among those who have consigned cattle to this sale are:'. Herefords— Kirk B. Armour, Gudgell& Simpson, Cornish & Patton, Scott & March and C. A. Starinard of .Sunnyslope, all owners of noted prizetwinning herds. Shorthorns are contributed by W. T. Clay,'Sam W, Roberta, Clark BroB., H. C. Duncan and. others. Few of the combination sales of the cornbelt markets4iad a list of such prominent breeders and contributors. This sale is expected to attract tho stockmen from all parts of the stato, as. the sentiment toward better breed ing is general throughout Montana. The promise of the great horso indus try in this state has induced the Watson, Woods Bros. & Kelly Co. to send to Montana three imported Shire and three importod Percheron stallions, which will be on exhibition and for sale at “private treaty at Helena on the dale of the public cattle sale. ' The announcement • o f the-.sale is made in another column. Gibbons Home From Rome. • -New York, Aug. 2C.—Cardinal Gib-' bons, accompanied by- bis secretary, Rev. W. A. Fletcher, arrived yester day on thé steamship -Etrurik. His eminence was asked- concerning the report that a number-of American cardinals were to be .. made and his answer was: “ I hava heard nothing,of the mak ing of. American cardinals and indeed did I know aboutit, î vcbuîd not talk. The cardinal also Refused, to discuss the Catholic churchy question in the Philippines. - . • The Esler concentrator erected on the property of tho Michigan & Mon tana Copper company on the Cracker mine on the Blaickfoot ceded strip will soon be in operation with au abundant supply of ore iu sight to keep it going. Work in the tunnel haB more than realized the hopes of the. management as to the size and value of tho ore body. - A t a distance of over GOOfeot in the tunnel, the .vein was crosscut from wall to wall and found. to bo 38. feet wide. Next to. the banging wall is a body of fine smoltiug' ore twelve feet wide. The rest of the'voin is cou- contrating ore gradually decreasing ' in value until tbe'footwall is reached. A general sample of tho whole vein weighing 1,100 pounds, assayed 5} per cent copper, 23 ounces of silver and $1 gold. Tho vein is now being opened up with a view to stoping and, as tho tunnel glvoB plenty of depth on the ore body, the mill is berog prepared for operation No Heavy •' Reserves for the' Summer; Reported_!n tho . ir- Why He Boughtthe Narraw Quage. The recent acquisition by-the Great Northern of the Great Falls ACauada railroad is said to be only the first move by James J. Hill to outer new territory in the states óf Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas, which Mr. H ill might do and not conflict with the spirit of the community of inter est deal. To got into valuable Burlington territory all the Great Northern would have tq do would be to build southeasterly from Great Fulls, through the Judith Basiu couuiry to Billings, on the Northern Pueific. At this point tho Burlington road comes up from Nebraska, Kausas and Missouri. With this now lino in use and with'the Great Falls & Cauada line givon a third ruii to accommo date equipment of standard gungos, the Great Northern could ship direct from the Puget Sound country or from the great Canadian coal fields, to Kansas and Nebraska via Billings and tho Burlington road. 'N The Great Northern would have to build about 190 miloa of road from Billings to Great Falls in ordor to completo the link. The Soo Line Coming. Havre, Aug. 27.—Surveyors of tho Soo lino left here yesterday morning for a 30 days’ trip through tbo Boar Paw region. They lrirod team and driver here and refused to discloso their destination, but it leaked out that they bad just come from Crow’s Nest. Some weeks ago they loft Jftnol with a team and drpeo olong the Canadian line as far west as the Crowds Nest. Then they returned to this place from which their.teams wore shipped back to Minot. They aro simply going over tho country to investigate the country, to find routes to sond surveying parties over.\ The mun who drove their teams from Minot says that the preliminay inves tigation indicates that the now route will be north of tho Groat Nortborn to this point, from which it u ill pass south. H e overheard that much from the conversation of the men with whom he has been. One o f the surveyors staled positively that tho line would join the Soo lino between Portal and Minot. Probably the western terminus will bo Great Falls. There is a great deal of speculation here as to the possibility of the Soo’s crossing the Great Northern at this place. Swlftwater Bill Elopes. Tacoma, Aug. 26.— “ Swiftwater Bill” Gates, millionaire, and the best known man in the Klondike, has married again. This, his* fourth mar riage, is an elopomont. The bride is his own nieco, Lilly A. Boyle, only 14 years _ old, and Mrp. Bovle does not likeS wiftwater despite his millions. She has sworn out a / warrant charging her brother with kidnapping her daughter. The polico of blithe big towns in the - west have .' been: notified to look q'ut/for’them. , . J,.B. Collins, superintendentoMho: forest reserves o L this ..state, says there has been littlo loss.by fire on the various government timber reseG vations in Mon tana'thls'ye^r. . “ We have been unusually fortunate this summer,” says Mr. Coilius. “ Iu July last year wo hud a number bf. serious forest fires aud the aggregate loss of timber in the state from that cause was large. Up to the prosent time.this year thoro have bqou uo serious fires ou any timber resorve in the stale. Tho forests in some lo calities are pretty dry, however, aud we have by no means passed the danger period. Wo con never tell when or whoro a fire will break out, und the only thing to do is fo bo as alert os possible and try to locate a fire before it has gained such head way as to mako it impossible to be extinguished with human agencies. - “Our force is smaller this year than last, but wo will manago to get along very well, I think, unless some special emergency should urise. With tbo forco employed it is impossible to patrol tho vast forest aroas includod iu the reserves, ds they should be potrollod, but tho mou aro constantly in tho field, aud\ they are doing tho host they can. Thero will doubtless come a day when the government will find it advisable to largely in crease its force of rangers, but until that time we will do tho host wo can. Tho rangors last summor undoubted ly savod mauy times tho cost of ruuinlaiuing tbo patrol. Ono large fire would destroy timber of immense vaino, und undoubtedly had it not boon for the work of the government lust summer, much larger areas would hayo been devastated than were ac tually burned over. “ Although the government loses in the aggregate a largo amount of lim ber from tho operations of thieves, the largest loss is from fires and probably ulways will be. Most fires are cuused by the carelessness of campors. - Indians, hunters, prospect ors or settlors, although a few aro undoubtedlv started by lightning. Notices have been posted throughout reserves warning campors to put out their fires and to tako such precau tions as may be uocossary to prevont surrounding timber or underbrush from catching fire from their camp fires. Rangers are constantly looking for trespassers, but in spite of their diligonce, however, tho area they are required to cover is so great that occasionally a firo is started and con tinues for days boforo it is discovered by them.” Superintendent CollinB ha3 forty- ono men under him. .There are 16 rangors and one supervisor in the Lewis and Clarke rosorvo, 13 and one supervisor iu tbo Flathead reserve, eight and one supervisor in the Bitter root, and ono ranger in tho Gallatin reserve. Mr. Collins savs that each year tho government is paying more attention to its timber lands. At the present time thoro are fivo parties belonging to tbo geological survey at work in tho Lewis and Clarke aud Flathead I reserves. Auothor party sent out by the agricultural department is work ing the Lewis & Clarke reserve. This party is estimating tho amount òf timber in the resorve and mhking general notes with a viow for pre serving the timbor. “Tho subject of forestry is little understood as yet in this country,” says Superintendent Collins. “ In the old countries of Europe the g o v ernments employ armies of men to care for public forests, and this will bo done m America some day. Few persons appreciate the extent of the wealth wo have in our forests, but the timo is coming whon tho govern ment will make -?mplo provision for protecting the timber areas.” Caueht American Deserter. Manila, Aug. 27.— Pilcher’s\ first dispatch from Mindoro tells how Lieu tenant Hazzard, commanding a troop of Mahabobe scouts, captured the :--c; leader of the filipinos, had been no.ying / the >■ Americans for maby/.v -month's/'- Fergiisbr,'' one of Lieut,' Hazzárd’s civilian scouts, disguised ,;,i; ;r.;-'>/i \ . -r ' L as an insurgent, with eight Maca- bebes, penetrated., intp the camp of Colonel.,.

John M-.Doty bf/Portland, a mem- bor of the United. ¿States-, .geological [survey, who has been engaged for several weeks in tho party-! that is in vestigating the feasibility o f diverting the waters of St. Marys lake to the Milk river while in Groat Ealls the other day, on his way to-Washingtou had the following to say: , “The work of the geological survey for the season is about ended.- It is gotting rather cold now in the moun tains and the parties that have been working in the hills will soon be com- ' polled to leave.. . The work of out party In connection with the plan to divert the St. Marys water to Milk river has been very successful; iu fact we have done more this year than we expected to be able to do, but it is not yet complete. Howevor, the surveys have gone far onough to enable us to say that the project is quite feasible. Director Walcott has been giving his personal attention to .this survey, aud la m sure that ho will recommend to con gress that the diversion of water be mudo. - “ The ouly obstacle that is now ap parent is the probability of interna; tional complications. T o divert the waters from St. Mary’s to Milk river will certainly injure many'Canadian . farmers and others, but we have found that tho canal may be built entirely within Montana, and I can not see that Canada .can mako any., valid objection. “Tho cost of the canal will be sev eral millions of dollars, but congress. should not hositate to make the appropriation.” Indians Are KillInar Deer. County Attorney Oliver has just received a telegram from J. Teeters at Libby saying that Indians are killing deer at Loon lake and asking for instructions in regard to tho mat ter, says the Kohspell Bee. Tho telegram states that there are fivo lodges of the noble redmen aud that the settlors in that vicinity are • complaining. The county attorney referred the^ matter to State Game Warden Scott for settlement. A number of letters have been re ceived by parties in thiB city stating that an indiscriminate slaughter of doer was going on in the western part of the county by Indians who were also using dogs in chasing deer. The Indians have no respect for the game law and all seasons of the year look alike to them. Tho violators of tho law to protect game should be puu- ished regardless of color and it is to bo hoped an example will be made in this instance. Glory Enough For All. -.
