Hundreds of sorrowing friends at- tended the double funeral at Anacon- da of Sheriff Bruce N. Bryan and Chas. Madison. who met their deaths by drowning in Elk Lake Sept. 21. The Montana horticulture and agri- culture exhibits at the Panama expo- sition in San Francisco are two of the most -talked -of and praised depart- ments at the big fair, according to E. P.

Ritchie to a Butte syndicate on the Nancy Hanks mine. It is in the Garnet gold district near Bearmouth and over half a million dollars in gold was taken from the . mine in former years. Ritchie is now 81 years of age, but is among the best-known of the old-time miners of Montana. The interior department has an- nounced the allotment of funds for the continuing of the work on the gov - ernment irrigation projects in Mon- tana up to June 30, 1916, these funds being taken from appropriations made by congress last session. It is observ- ed that the allotments do not equal the appropriations but the difference is retained, it is said, to meet emergen- cies, to pay administration charges, and is available if needed. The sums allotted, it is thought, are all that will be required for actual construction work, according to the judgment of the engineers in charge. The allot- ments for the Montana projects, to- gether with the amounts of the appro- priation by congress, are given below: Allot- Appropria- Project. ment. ation. Sun river $719,940 $1,100,000 St. Mary's storage 47,852 Milk river 422,322 1,100,000 Huntley 120,008 150,000 Lower Yellowstone 46,932 70,000 The Milk river appropriation by con- gress is to cover also St. Mary's stor- age. No explanation wa sgiven as to the large deduction from the amount of the appropriation for the Sun river and Milk river projects, save that it is ,aaid that the full amounts cannot ex- peditiously be used before June 30 next. . • British and French Troops Unite. The British and French troops have united in a far-reaching offensive movement against the German en- trenchments on the western front. One of the most terrific bombar:inents of the entire war has preceded the ad- vance of the infantry, who have en- gaged the Germans in hand-to-hand combats in front of and in the very trenches. Sweden Shuts Off Supplies. Stockholm, Sweden. -The action of the Swedish government in prohibit- ing the export of all meat, canned ganda anzli.ihvp- erative Sunday, means the practical loss to Germany of Sweden as a source of food supply. The Redwater Hardware Co. of Cir- cle has been incorporated with $5,000 capitah.stock, held by David Leidahl and D. and J. Rivenes. GREAT BATILEINEAR BELGIUM'S LINE GERMANS SUFFER LOSSES ALONG A LINE FOR 20 MILES IN PRIS- ONERS AND TRENCHES. BRITISH AND FiRENCH UNITED Many Guns Captured -Allies Advance in Places 2 , 2 Miles -Mighty Of- fensive Follows Heavy Bombard- ment -Most Gains f:r French. London, Sept. 26. -The British and French armies have taken several large \nibbles\ o'ut of the German lines between Verdun and the Belgian coast, capturing trenches along a front of about 20 miles, and thousands of prisoners, eight guns and a number of machine guns. At the same time British war ships and French and Bel- gian batteries bombarded the German positions on the coast between Zee- brugge and Nieuport. A Paris bulletin says: \The number of prisoners is increas- ing steadily and actually is more than 16 000 men, not wounded, of whom at least 200 are officers. \The total number of prisoners cap- tured on the whole front by the allied troops in two days is more than 20,000, not wounded.'' French Gains Extensive. The offensive which resulted in the French and British victories began Saturday morning. For several weeks there has been an almost incessant bombardment, which late last week in- creased in intensity, particularly in the sectors where the infantry attacks took place. The French, who are credited with the most important gain, made their chief onset against the German lines around Perthes, Beausejour . and Suip- pesin Champagne, where in December they made a considerable gain of ground. Saturday's attack, however, gave them possession of more territory than they had retaken from the Ger- mans since the latter dug themselves In after the battle of the Marne. Press Advantage. According to the French_ account. the Germahs were driven out of their trenches over a front of 15 miles, vary- ing in depth from two-thirds of a mile to 2% miles. VETERANS AGAIN HOLD GRAND REVIEW Retraced Steps of Fifty Years Ago at National Capital When Last Gun Had Been Fired. Washington. -Thousands of veter- ans of the Union army are here for the 46th annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Fifty years after the last shot was fired survivors of the Union host that marched in review from the capital to the White House retraced their steps here Wednesday. In the court of honor where Presi- dent Johnson stood September 29, 1865 President Wilson stood to greet the remnant of the victorious armies of Grant and Sherman. Pennsylvania avenue, through which the military Pageant passed, was wall- ed with the national colors and flags fluttered from windows and house- tops. It is thought 30,000 veterans, many of them survivors of the 160,000 who participated in the grand review of 1865, were present. Preparations for entertaining 100,000 visitors were made. On the opening day of the en- campment various informal receptions were held and much of the time given over to registration under a system whereby veterans can easily find old comrades. President Wilson attended the first formal reception in a huge auditorium adapted for the purpose in the old census building, near the capitol, that also contains headquarters of the var- ious departments and army court of the Grand Army and allied organiza- tions during the encampment. The following day the military review was held. General Nelson A. Miles acted as marshal of the review, taking the place of General Sherman occupied in 1865. Needless to say David J. Pal- mer and staff were in attendance. Episcopal Church, Chicago, Burns. ehicago.-Grace Episcopal church, 1439 South Wabash avenue, a land- mark erected in 1868, and one of the largest and best known churches in the middle west, was destroyed by fire Sunday, which razed a six -story brick building occupied by a furniture com- pany, causing an estimated property loss of more than $500,000. The blaze spread to Grace church by falling walls. Several other struc- tures were damaged. Firemen pre vented the fire from spreading to the Coliseum, which is directly south of the church. Coal Production increases. The production of coal in the United States in 1914 was exceeded in only two previous years -1912 and 1913. In 1914 the total production of anthra- cite and bituminous coal amounted to 513,525,477 short tons, valued at $681,- , 490,643. [PACIFIC COAST NEWS Portland's Second Annual Manufac timers' and Land Products Show, Oc tober 25 to November 13, will offer many novel features. Mrs. Frederick Eggleston, 30 years old, wife of a rancher living near Ne- halem, Oregon, was burned to death in a fire recently which destroyed their home. Three San Francisco attorneys and one land agent were arrested recently under a blanket federal indictment charging 18 California and Oregon at- torneys and land agents with using the mails to forward a fraudulent scheme. *Mrs. J. M. Whitney of Whittier, Cal., was killed and her husband and Dr. S. E. Benhart. the latter of Battle Creek, Mich., were seriously injured near Pomona, Cal., Sunday, when an automobile driven by Mr. Whitney was struck by a train.

The rob- bers escaped with $5000. Announcement Saturday that the Christian & King Irma Works of Port- land is contemplating taking a con- tract for the manufacture of shrapnel shells for the allies was the signal for a series of threatening telephone calls coming supposedly from pro -German partizans. George Watkins Evans, a United States government engineer, is in Se- attle from Atska after having subdi- vided the Bering river coal field into units of 320 to 2560 acres for the bu- reau of mines.

C., into the purchae by the Canadian government of subma- rines from Chile at the outbreak of the war. The scope of the inquiry covers the breadth of the American continent for all manner of supplies, including clothing, horses, surgical equipment and marine supplies. William Maxwell and Frank Burke were arrested in San Francisco recent- ly on complaints of Ramon P. De Ne- gri, consul general of Mexico, and are charged with attempting to dispose of counterfeit money. De Negri says they tried to sell him $550,000 worth of worthless Carranza currency for $18,000 American money.

Details of the operations of an al- leged arson gang were made public at Oakland, Cal., Sunday, when the police gave out part of the confession said to have been secured from Chas. L. Burright, who with his wife, is in custody awaiting trial on a charge of arson. Burright, the police say, gave them the dates and places of 26 in- cendiary fires for which he and his gang were responsible and 'on which they are said to have realized, by col- lecting the insurance, an average prof- it of $600 a fire. PENSIONS EXCEED THE INTERNAL REVENUE More Than Two Millions Is Paid Out to War Survivors in the State of Washington. The $2,000,000 internal revenue col- lected by the federal government from this state during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, is exceeded by the pen- sions which Uncle Sam paid to war Survivors in the state. The annual report of the pension commissioner states that pensioners in the state of Washington received $2,- 008,748.78 during' the year, this being distributed among 9075 individuals. Veterans of the civil war died at the rate of 91 a day last year, says the re- port, and of a total of 2 213,365 who enlisted for service in the war only 396,370 survive. This means that of the great army which defended the north, 1,816,995 have died, including those who were killed in battle, died of wounds or other cause and who have died since the war ended. Pensioners and the annual payments that are made to them art - as follows: Civil war 691,606 $156,668,771 War with Spain. 28,912 3,851,701 134 22,349 War of 1812 War with Mexico 4,933 925 847 Indian wars 2,832 513,706 Re m gu en l a t r establish - 19,730 3,535,892 Pensions, according to Commission- er Staltzgaber, have cost the United States government a total of $4,895,- 475,637, of which $4,614,643,267 is on account of the civil war.

GERMAN'S WAR LOAN LARGEST IN WORLD AMOUNT RAISED IN OWN COUN- TRY WILL BE AMPLE UNTIL NEXT MARCH. THREE BILLION DOLLARS INALL Daily Per Capita Cost Is 25 Cent, - Easy to Get, Says Imperial Treas- urer -Claims Britain Is Beaten -Gives Figures. . Perlin, Sept. 26, via London, Sept. 26. -The German war loan, raised on September 21, is the largest financial operation in tha world's history, says Dr. Karl Helfferich, secretaii of the imperial treasury. With a total of $3,000,000,000 and some smadd sums not yet reported, the secretary said it exceeds Great Britain's last loan, that attracted much attention all over the world as an unprecedented piece of fi- nanciering. Safe Until Next March. \The present loan,\ Dr. Helfferich contiued, \enables the government to liquidate treasury bills taken over by the reichsbank and other banks, pro- vides Germany with money for the winter campaign and renders unneces- sary s the raising of another loan be- fore March. \England hitherto has raised $4,- 062,500,000 and Germany $6,250,000,000 in long-term loans, whereas England's war expenditures up to the present time are hardly less than Germany's and soon will exceed Germany's, for England is now spending nearly $25,- 000,000 daily, against Germany's not much above $15,000,000. That means that Germany is spending 25 cents per capita daily and England 55 cents. I doubt, therefore, whether England's fi- nanciers possess confidence that their resources will outlast ours. Denies Pressure for Loan. \Everything said abroad about Ger- many putting on pressure and using force to secure subscriptions to the loan is pure invention. We appealed solely to the financial power and pa- triotism of our fellow citizens. Our success must open the world's eyes to a recognition of how strong is Ger- many's financial power and bow strong her will. \I am confident that the success of this loan, which proves that we are standing firmly upon our own feet, will contribute toward the good rela- tions between -Germany - arid - e n - teds Stater - notwithstanding the Mor- gan -Holden incident. Not Poor Relations of U. S. \Independence is the first word in American history, as well as the first word of true friendship. America can not class us among her poor rela- tions\ Dr. Helfferich asserted that Ger- many was financially able to continue the war indefinitely. Her people, he said, were earning higher wages and saving more money than in peace times. The country was supplying its own needs, buying little abroad, and making no debts to foreign countries. In conclusion the secretary said that a shortage in supplies of some raw ma- terials, like cotton and wool, might cause inconvenience, but the people were already learning to economize. Old woolen clothing was being re- worked into shoddy, and coats could be worn shorter. Substitutes for some materials were being found, he added. NORTHWEST GAME LAWS -1915. Washington.
