COAL IN DEMAND.

The quality of the coal has constantly
improved with the depth, until now 1t is
almost entirely supplanting the product
Of other mines in the chief industries of
Montana. The Manitoba and Montana
Central use this coal exclusively: 50 also
does the Montana Smelling company at
Great Falls. The company supplies $50
tons daily for the Anaconda smelter at
Anaconda, and $50 tons to the Boston t.
Montana smelter at Butte. The coal is
used exclusively hy the following COM
panies: Drum Lummon mine at Marys-
vile. at Butte, the Lexington and Parrot
shelters, Butte reduction works, motor
railway, and the Butte l. Boston Mining
company. At Helena the motor line, gas
works, electric light plant, water works,
Hotel Broadwater and several dealers use
this coal exclusively. Shipments are also
made to Wickes, Livingston and other
towns. Under the present efficient man
agement the drlly product Of the mines

AkMlNGTON.

On the line of the Great Falls and
Belt mountains railroad. in the beau
tiful valley Of the Belt river, the new
town of Arlington has been laid out.
1t is so called from its present owner,
Hon. J. T. Armington. state senator
from Cascade county.
Armington is located at one of those
natural sites. where even under ad-
verse conditions, a town is soon to
spring up and grow. Upon both
sides lie extensive beds of fine coal.
The vein averages from eight to
twelve feet in thickness and can be
mined ut the minimum cost of O
cents per ton. IN quality it closely
resembles the famous Sand Coulee
coal, but as it contains larger per
cent of coking coal, is more valuable
deposit. A number Of practical work
ing tests 10 coking have been made
and the fact has been established that
9 superior coke can be economically
obtained from this coal So successful.
indeed, have these experiments been
that two large companies have al
ready been formed to mine this coal
and put up extensive plants for COX
ing. These companies will begin
work in the spring with large forces
of men. The employees of the com
panies alone will form quite town.
Arlington, as stated, is upon the
main line of the Great Falls Il Belt
Mountain railway, which runs to the
mining camps Of Neihart and Barker
The branch line to the Judith and
the Wolf creek mining district will
be started from this point. This will
make it the most available point from
each Of these important camps. and
taken in connection with it's fuel ad-
vantages will undoubtedly result in
the erection Of large sampling works
Again. owing to its geographical
location, the Northern Pacific extern
sion to Great Falls will necessarily
CT .ss the Belt river here This will
give Arlington unsurpassed rail
road facilities. And it is limited that
the Northern Pacific have already
acquired possession of tract of the
adjacent coal lands and will at once
develop them on a scale equal to that
of the extensive works of the Manito-
ba company at Sand Coulee.
But Arlington will not depend
upon her mineral advantages. She
holds the key to the famous Judith
basin, and is the nearest railroad
market to the two finest agricultural
sections of Montana, j. e., Highwood
and Upper Belt.
The Cataract Mill Go. of this city
have announced their intention of
erecting large elevator at Arming-
ton and the railroad company will
build large wool warehouse, and
also put in stockyards. In this way
valuable and extensive trade will be
centered here at once.
The natural advantages here are SO
great that a town would spring up
even under adverse conditions. But,
as is we'll known. Mr.. Armington is
man of enterprise and push, and will
turn all Of these natural resources to
the greatest advantage in furthering
the prosperity of the new town. And
as he is closely connected with and
stands high in favor with the man
agement of the Manitoba company,
this town will have the warm support
of that company which means a
great deal
We understand that property in
Arlington has been scheduled on a
very reasonable basis, and we conf
IDENTIFY expect to see it move very rap
idly when placed upon the market.

The reduction process just described is
conducted on an extensive scale at the
smelter, which will be four times larger
than now when the original plan is car
ried out. As it is this is the largest silver
smelter in the northwest. Its extent may
be estimated from the following details
of the buildings and machinery:
There are 10 "reverbatory" roasting
furnaces and 10 "reverbatory" fusion fur
naces. The building which contains these
furnaces is 375 feet long and $50 feet
wide. The round stack which provides n
draught for the furnaces is 12o feet high
and 10 feet in diameter. The double tlue
which connects the furnaces with the
stack is 600 feet long. The blast furnace
building is 1855 feet long and 100 feet
wide. There are four blast furnaces.
The large tlue would suffice for ten, blast
furnaces and with the fine dust chamber
is 500 feet long. The huge stack is l2 feet
in diameter and $50 feet high. The en-
gine house is 205 feet long and go feet
wide. It is built of brick and has an iron
roof. In this building are two 15O-horse
power steam engines and three Baker ro-
tary blowers Of the largest size. In this
house is also large Thompson Houston

That Il the Dutch Name for the Man
Who Makes Wooden shoes.
One of the most interesting places in
Holland village is. the 'kIompes''
makers shop, where klompen, or wooden
shoes, are made
Not far from Rotterdam, surrounded
by high dykes, lies the little village of
Rijsoord; in that village, beside the
Shalkydijk river, is shop in which an
old man and his son work early and
late, supplying the. peasants (who never
go baHefoot) with shoes. These are
first roughly shaped from blocks OF
willow wood, as a statue is first rudely
outlined by chipping the marble block,
and afterwards the shoes are finished
smoothly with sand paper and pumice-
stone. aaa Isl.
The willow trees are grown for this
purpose, and when they attain the re-
quired size they are cut down, the
branches are trimmed off and only the
trunk is used, being divided into blocks,
each one of which is the length of the
longest shoe.
The work goes on without interrupt
tion through the morning, unless some
friendly neighbor looks in over the
half-opem Dutch door; and this is the
occasion seized upon by the two mon
for reflling and lighting their pipes,
and drawing a few long whiffs, while

All their food is cooked in the same
Fireplace, excepting the bread, which
in every peasants home is supplied by

The shoes are piled round the smold-
ering embers, often with the tea-kettle
simmering among them; and while the
sap dries out they give little groans;
and sighs, as if they knew the hard. fate
awaiting them when the time shall
come for them to cover the feet of some
sturdy Dutch peasant or workman and
to clatter over the pavements of the
town.

looking gentleman called at the same
shop and asked to see the proprietor,
whom he addressed as follows;
"Sir, my name is Baron Won s.,
and have come on delicate errand.
An hour ago young lady dressed in
mourning purchased diamond ring
from you, but at the same time she pur-
loined another valuable ring"
The jeweler started in amazement
and the young gentleman produced the
ring from his pocket, saying:
ALLOW me to return it to you, with
the request that you will keep the mat
ter to yourself. The lady is my sister,
and since the death of her husband she
has been suffering from mental aberra-
ton. At every shop she goes to she
tries to pocket unobserVed any small
article that takes her fancy. l suffer
mortal agony whenever she contrives
to leave the house. In conclusion, I
would entreat you in case she comes
again and attempts to take any thing
not to frighten the poor creature. I will
make good the dam age.'
The jeweler promised entire secrecy.
Two days afterward the lady in black
called again and asked to see number
of diamond rings, but did not make any
purchase this time. The ieweler kept a
sharp watch on his fair customer, but
did not perceive any thing unusual.
However, when she had gone diamond
cross of very great value was found to
be missing. The jeweler waited in vain
for the Baron to make his appearance
and return the stolen property. No

Daniel Webster,s Hahlr..

There has been good deal of contro-
versy about Mr.. Webster's habits.
When he went to England he ACQUIRED
what do not think was his habit be-
fore, he became convivial; and on his re.
turn he showed an evident liking for
the brandy bottle. He was never an i'm
ebriate, but sometimes he made his
most powerful speeches while under the
influence Of strong drink, and on more
than one occasion he was sadly the
worse for it When he made his speech
at Richmond, under the October sun, as
it was called, he drank so heavily at
dinner that when they took him out into
the State-house grounds, where he was
to speak, the Governor of the State said
he was afraid for him. Just before his
turn to speak came the Governor leaned
over and said to him: ''Mr. Webster.
we will be ready for you presently. .

smoothed his face, and it seemed as Il
he had wiped away all signs of intuxica.

arose to face that enormous crowd he
was himself again, and for over an hour
he held that audience entranced with
his matchless oratory.

SECONDHAND LOVE.

A PerniciOus Code That Rules the Rela.
tions of Many Young Men and Women.
May Russell, after two or three win.
ters of bellehood in her native town,
went to visit her cousins in Blankville.
She was not twenty-one years old, and
was pretty, sweet-tempered yivacious
girl. Her friends soon saw that Doctor
Holmes, the physician of the village,
meant to win May for his wife. and that
May was ready to be won. For the first
time in her life she had found a man
who appealed to her highest nature,
and in whom she could find her own
better self.
Doctor Holmes was an honorable man
OF great depth and tenderness, of feel
ing, who had been faithful son and
loyal friend, and who would give his
whole heart to his wife,
''He is too good for May" said her
cousin, Mrs. Russell, to her husband.
''nhe girl began her fiirtations at school,
when she was ten years old. The doc
tor has never before wished to marry
any woman. She is skilled in the con-
duct of sham love affairs"
THE fooling is real with her now,"
replied Mr.. Russell.
Doctor Holmes was a grave, quiet
man. The step he was going to take
was for life; he would not allow himself
to be rash. Yet surely he could make
no mistake in taking this apparently in
nocent, artless, sweet-natured girl into
his heart and home foraver9 s4 N
At last he resolved to hesitate no
longer and one evening went to the
house determined to ask her to be his
wife. A young girl, one of Mays COM
panions, was in the room with her, and
both were looking amusedly at a large
card, on which were fastened six locks
of hair, each labelled with name and
date.
What have you there2' asked Doc
tor Holmes. r
May laughed saucily. 81 call them
my scalps-tokens of my victories" she
said. They are locks of the hair of
men who-shall confess it-have pro-
tessed to be my admirers.
Doctor Holmes was silent Her friend
soon afterward left the room. Then he
said, Are you serious? Do you mean
that tnese men have boon, so much in
terested in you and have professed such
regard for you as to give you locks of
their hair, possibly at your request?"
"Yes, indeed, she said laughing. SIN
my part of the country girl would feel
neglected if she had not received some
such tokens of personal regards, per-
haps of love, from gentlemen who had
offered her special attention. She never
means really to marry them"
but she-allows each man to look upon
her as possibly his future wife, probably
to kiss her?', H't
YES. There does not to me seem to
be any harm in it."
II think l can not agree with YOU"
he said, gravely. He left her and never
returned.
May Russell's code rules the social re-
lations of many young men and women.
They hold familiar intercourse or form
engagements which they know are not
founded upon love or esteem, and which
they never intend to fulfill. No young
girl can pass through one of these "ex-
periences, as they are called, without
degradation and taint. She goes to her
husband a battered, secondhand thing,
which no art can restore to it's first in
nocent purity.
We speak plainly, because the. evil
exists, and the danger is great.-Youth's
