THE HOUSEHOLD.
How To wash FlauneIS.

Flannel underwear and WOODEN stock
ings would last two or three times longer
than they ordinarily do if they were prop
crly washed. Many people put them in
the general wash, and let them go
through the same as any other piece or
clothng-from hot water into cold. This
is all wrong; one such wash will shrink
and stiffen woolcns SO that they will be
very much smaller, and also harsh and
thick. If properly washed, there is no
necessity for wooden underwear or stock
ings becoming hard or discOIored at all;
they should be as soft when worn out as
they were when new. White flannels
often assume saffron tint after one
bad washing, while with proper care
they should remain white till they turn
yellow with age.
The first thing to do is to make lather
of lukewarm water and some pure white
soap CASTLE or boraX soap is beSt); a
little boraX may be also added, or
ammonia, two tableSpOontulS to pail or
water. This will loosen the dirt, ard
also tend to keep the tlannels soft. Put
your woolcns in this, and rinse up and
down Il great number of times until the
fannels seem clean. Soap should never
be rubbed on them, as it leaves mark

Do not use a board; if there are any
SOiEcd streaks around the wrists or neckS
of the shirts, rub between the hands. IL
the dirt will not move without soap, rub
the soap on the palms of the hands (not
on the HannciS). and then rub the fan
nels between them. When the tlannelS
are thoroughly clean, squeeze them out
carefully and put them into the rinse
water This should be lukcwarm (neVer
hot) about the same temperature as the
water in which they have beech washed.
Rinse up and down until they are free
from SudS; then squeeze between the
hands until you get them as dry as posi-
BILE; never use a Wringer, and try to do
without even Wringing with tho hands.
Hang up at once, and never let them lie
in the clotheSbaSket. Hang shirts by the
shoulders at first, drawers by the belts,
and skirts by the Wristbands. When
they are half dry, reverse the position,
and let them finish drying.
Scarlet fanncIs, if they arc OF good
quality. will keep their color if washed

ever prefer to take the following precau-
ton in regard to red ilannels in order to
be sure Of their not fading: Mix a half
cupful of flour with quart OF cold water,
place over the fire, and let it boil for iif-
teen minutes. Stir this into the warm
suds in which the tlannels arc to be
washed, and then proceed as above. Salt
is sometimes used in washing c0lored
wooden stockings in order to keep them
from fading, but we have found it rather
harsh, and prefer to wash them, as we'll
as other woolens, as we have jnst de-
scribed. I'm winter the tlannels should
be washed first before touching the other
clothes, so that they may have plenty Of
time to dry. We prefer not to- iron fan
nels, as they can be smoothed oat with
the hands and laid into shape. If You
prefer to iron them, be sure and use
warm iron (never hot), and press them
on the wrong side.

The Business Done In Lumber II
That Section BY the North
ern Pacific
New Northern Paciilc Tino CArd-From
Mullan to spokaue--The Gilman
Coal Mines.

It Is we'll known that one Of the reasons
which induced the Great Northern to run
its extension to the sound through Mis-
soula county was a desire to obtain some Of
the lumber traffic of which the Northern
Pacific now has a monopoly. Few, low
ever, have any idea Of the extent of this
traffic. Misaoula county is the great tim
Der section of Montana, and when the
Great Northern gets over the divide and
into the Flathead country 1t will have as
rich a timber section to draw from as the
Northern Pacific now has. Mr.. T. g. Hath
eway, representing the Blaokfoot Milling
and Manufacturing company, whose works
are at Bonner, was in. Helena yesterday and
gave more figures showing how great the
lumber industry is becoming in Montana.
His COMPANY ships exclusively to Montana
points and does no business outside
of the state. It employs about 500
men the year around, and last
year the Northern Pacific hauled of its pro-
duct 49, 100000 feet of lumber, 800 cars of
lath and 400 cars of slat boards. Much of
this was used in mines and q great ouanti-
ty was disposed of to retail dealers. The
company has a contract to furnish the
Great Northern 4,5OO.O 900 feet of lumber to
be used east Of the Flathead country. The
trestle at Cut Bank will require over a mil
lion feet and the Two Medicine bridge
/ about sOO,O 600 feet. The company now has
on hand 20, OOO,O 200 feet of lumber. In addi-
ton to the work furnished the oad by this
big concern. there are numerous small mills
whose output make quite an item in the
Northern Pacific showing each month. The
timber is principally pine. That there will
be great competition between the two big
roads for the lumber business when the
Great Northern is completed there ia little
doubt, and the contest gives promise of be-
ing an interesting one.

A Paying Mine.

Returns have been received from the last
shipsaent of ore from the Ontario and they
are SO satisfactory as to meet the fondest
anticipations of the lucky of stock
here, says the Belt Mountain Miner. Thes
returns place this beyond doubt or specula-
tion and proves conclusively that the On
tario is one of the bonanzas of the state,
The shipment consisted of 1910 pounds
gross, or 1887 pounds net. The net pro-
ceeeds of the ore after deducting freight
and smelter charges was $109.47 per ton.
Although this property is not developed as
much as some others in the camp it is safe
to say that no mine in the district has
proved as profitable as this. Thu develop
ment consists of a shaft seventy feet deep,
from which a drift has been run on the
lead. The lead is from four to six
feet wide and consists near the surface
Of q blush quartz mixed with iron. As
depth was attained the iron disappeared
and a streak of s%ulphuret ore appeared in
each wall. Further down the ore streak
widened until nearly the entire lead is COM
posed of ore. For the past two weeks the
mine has produced twenty sacks of ship
ping ore daily while running the drift
There has been no effort made to take out
ore, the work being directed entirely to de-
velopment. Superintendent E. J. Barker
proposes to sink the main shaft another Ion
feet and then put in a steam hoist. TIL.

necessarily slow, but from this time it will
be pushed with increased vigor.

The Gilman Coal Mines.

IN0 VIIn1Hn CONI MIn0B.
The trouble with the miners at the Gill
man coal mines has revived an unpublished
rumor, says the Seattle Telegraph, started
last fall, that the Northern Pacific was
making arrangements to assume control of
the mines, which have been operated by the
Seattle Coal and Iron company. Manager
Wilson could not be found to deny or af-
firm the report. When the mines closed
down there were 1900 tons of coal in the
ten tons we're left and that the Seattle.
Lake Shore 4 Eastern railroad would have
to look to the Northern Pacific or Oregon
Improvement company for supplies of coal
for the trains. 1t is believed that the
Northern Pacific will furnish the supply,
and this may have given rise to the revival
of the rumored sale of the mines.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-03-31

1t is quite likely, says the Wallace Press,
from the movements of officials, that the
Northern Pacific will use the Union Pacific
track from Mullan to Tekoa, and not build
a broad gauge track down the valley from
Wallace to the Mission, and thence through
Fourth of July canyon to Spokane. On the
other hand, the Union Pacific is concen-
trating an engineer corps at Wallace, and
it is rumored that another branch road will
be constructed, but in what direction it is
not stated. This does not look like a prob
able transfer. The Northern may, how
ever be negotiating for a lease of the Union
line. 1t is to be hoped that all the reports
of q transfer are without foundation. There
.s enough business in the Coeur d'Alene for
three railroads, or will be before the close
of the year. 1t taxes the two railroads even
now to handle what ore is being produced.
