NATE WERTHEIM.
SENATOR GIBSON'S VIEWS.
Great Falls in Good Favor East.-Exceed-
ingly Bright Prospects for This City.

Great Falls in Good Favor East.-Exceed-
ingly Bright Prospects for This City.
Senator Paris Gibson although under
the charge of physician, during his So
journ in the east. was not at any time
forgetful of Great Falls and he is likely
to have something of interest to say at
the meeting of the Board of Trade this
afternoon. He spent some time in New
York, Boston, Chicago, st. Paul and
Minneapolis. and at each of these places
found that much interest is manifested
in this young and vigorous city.
1T is surprising" said Mr.. Gibson, "to
note the interest taken in Great Falls in
those great cities. Wherever l went l
found people anxious to gain information
about this city, and those who have in
vestments here or have at some time
visited the city invariably expressed the
utmost confidence in the future of the
town. This thing was so general that l
came to the natural conclusion that the
people of New York, Boston, and other
eastern cities have better opinion of
Great Falls than her own citizens. OF
all the places visited l would say Bos-
ton is first in regard for the Cataract
city. As you know, there is already
great deal of Boston capital invested
here. and if I read the indications
Alright beginning IN that direction has
hardly been made. / had an excellent
opportunity of forming an opinion on
this subject, and can say to you that
many influential citizens of Boston are
taking lively interest in Great Falls;
and the same is true, while perhaps not
in as great degree, in all the financial
and trade centers visited"
***
If such a thing is possible, Mr.. Gibson
is more enthusiastic than ever over the
prospects of Great Fails. He learned at
the Boston Office of the B. & NJ. company
that work on the smelter here is to be
pushed with all possible rapidity. He
gives the highest Importance to the fact
that the Boston & Montana is to build
refinery and thinks the time
is near at hand when all the copper of
Montana will be refined at this place,
where power without limit can be secur-
ed at minimum of cost. Electricity is
the great factor in this process and at no
place in the world can it be generated
cheaper than here. Without speaking
by authority he expressed the belief that
the Anaconda refinery would be located
at Great Falls. AS to the Butte & Bos-
ton, he said that company will certainly
build their'new smelter at this place If
there is marked improvement in the
copper market they may begin opera
tions this season and assuredly work on
this great plant will be under way next
spring.
XIX
while the prospects for these and
other great enterprises are very encour-
aging said the senator, 1--WE should not
lose sight of small things. Great Falls
is to be manufacturing as we'll as a
city and no efforts should be
spared to induce manufacturers to 10
cate with us. Greater opportunities are
presented to them here than in any other
city of the northwest and we should
keep this fact before the public. The
Board of Trade and our citizens gener-

and if they bury the dead, and do not
burn the bodies, as cannibals do, the
bones of their enormous frames will
cover large area of the island.
The man | photographed IS over 7
feet in height. His face was a study
when he saw the lens pointed at him,
and he could not understand what was
being done. He, as are all his race,
was superstltious, but we overcame
that obstacle by giving him a present
of an old pair of trousers, which be i'm
mcdiately tied around his neck. The
gentleman standing next to him is about
six feet tall, and he had to hold the
Indians hand. An old rag encircled
the upper portion of the Indian limbs,
and 1t was tied around the waist. The
blanket is made of albatross Gkin and
feathers. The bow and arrows which
he holds are the only weapon they
know of or use. His legs from the
knee down are not covered. The hat
he wears is OF straw, and he, as he
stands there, is the typical Seri Indian.
The women wear patched dresses
made of cloth which they receive for
albatross mats and shawls. They are
wrinkleG and old, very few girls being
among the tribe. The bowls on their
heads contain broken vessels made of
clay.
They are wonderful people, con-
tinued Mr.. Mcnamara. "and no doubt
their past history, if revealed, would
bring to light facts that relate to the
magnificent reign of the Montezumas,
or even far beyond the time of Cortez."

CANNIBAL GIANT A FACT.
The Horrid People Live an Island in
the Gulf of California

There are IA giant cannibals, men
and women, living on Serl Island, in
the Gulf of California, and not sixty
miles from the mainland of Mexico,
said George G.. Mcnamara to an
Examiner reporter at the Palace
Hotel last night.
What l say might seem ridiculous,
but it is nevertheless fact, for l have
seen some of them during my travels IN
Mexico. Who their ancestors were or
how long they have occupied the island
is not known, but they are now becom
ing extinct.
| saw three women and one man.
and their appearance and manner gave
me the impression that they are brutes
by nature and brutes in heart and
soul. 1t was just by chance that l saw
them, as few ofthem venture away from
the island except to sell the mats and
shawls which they make from the skin
and feathers of the alba.ross. They
are cunning thieves but otherwise their
minds are dull-in fact they seem
stupefed. They have vacant stare
in their eyes, and, when not serious,
at idiotic smile spreads over their
faces.
The island of Ser is about twenty
miles IG2n IG2ng and at places ten miles wide,
and was told no MEXICAN or white
man ever ventures near or attempts Is
land on it, as they claim the island is
then domain and shoot the intruders
with poisoned arrows or capture and
eat them. They exist on fish and
goat meat, which are plentiful. Low
houses, built of shrubbery, are their
abode. S me live in dugouts, or
caves cut into banks. They roam
about the island and lead the LATEST
life of any people l have ever heard
of. No one can tell what their daily
routine of living is, but it is a fact that
the tribe is dying out, and it will not
be many years before they will become
extinct. Their mode of burial is moi
known, but it was estimated that where
there are now a handful there were
several thousands not ten years ago

the stake was provokingly blunt.

sometimes wear out mind and body by

yided with shelter there is no room for
the big wagon. The greatest damage
for such exposure is to the wheels, and
those who cannot find storage room for
the whole wagon can surely find room
for these. No wheel, no wagon; but
SO long as the the wheels are
good one has a feeling of conf
dence in his vehicle. It is but
q few minutes, work to raise the wagon
an inch or two and place props under
the axles to hold them up. Then the
wheels may be removed and placed I'M
der cover in some unoccupied corner.
A few months later, when the wagon is
wanted for use, the axles will be
elevated ready for oiling and replacing
of the wheels. The wagon will need
oiling anyway after q winters rest;
hence, the removing of the wheels in
advance adds but small item of labor.
While the wheels are under cover and
well dried it is a good time to examine
them and attend to any needed repairs,
so that when spring work calls them in
to use they will be ready to respond in
good condition. This housing of wheels
only is not recommended for those who
can make room for the whole wagon
It is here given with the belief that the
best way is of no use to great many, to
whom second best" might be of great
value. -N0tj0ndl ,St0ckmd11.

Stabbed by q Biiltish.

During the long cruise of the whaling
bark Triton this year Capt. Clifford has
been puzzled by small but persistent
leak that began near Honolulu in the
spring and continued anti the craft was
docked at the Union Iron Works this
week Then the managing owner, Will
lam King, discovered the cause and OBJ
tanned an interesting relic of the fury
and force of things in the sea which the
ordinary landsman knows not of. Well
down toward the keel on the starboard
side Capt. Wing found a hole in the
ships copper. The copper was ripped
of and the hole followed through the
three-quarter inch pine sheathing.
The underlying three-inch white oak
plank was found to be split as though
with wedge, and embedded in it and
to depth Of an inch and a half in the
frame timber, was the slender, bony
snout of billfish. The piece of snout
was about five inches long, and in
creased from half inch in diameter at
the top to an inch at the point of tract
ure Near by was found the tip OF
another snout, imbedded about an inch
and half in the oak planking. This
oak is about as hard as lignum vitae, and
the force exerted by the fish to pene-
trate it as far as it did is incalculable.-

THE OLD CLERK.

As he bends DER the ledger that shining old
head,
Which reflects every mood of the sky.
While he stealthily blackens the figures in red
THE mistake of an age bedimmed eye.
SlfJ wonder how time will effect his release,
Tween the days that his and his heart beat
ings cease
Where will the old clerk go?
0ne can learn of the temperate days that are
gone
From The rollingpin rule and quill pen;
And he answers to "Toby'' at seventy-one
AS he answered to toby at ten.
From its first infant struggles ITO credit and
lie has watched the great enterprise grow;
But his hand trembles now-he Is broken IN
health;
Yet-where can the old clerk go?
IF each pound of success had but left him
grain,
What nugget of rest he might own:
But q lonely old heart and q weary old brain
Are his need for the years that have flown.
Every blossom he loved in the heyday of life
Has withered and lies meath the snow;
And cen memory's barred from this hustle ana
strife:
Then where should the old clerk go?
That the world has heart none will seek TO
deny;
And it seftens, It's said, year by year:
AT the end of full many walk we espy
Golden promise of comfort and cheer.
There's sweet little cherub" that steers poor
old Jack
TO "harbor' where storms cease to blow:
But when drops for the last time the pen on its
rack,
Where can the old clerk go?

Winter Care of Farm Wagons.

During great part of the winter sea-
son the heavy farm wagon is not in use.
When there is snow the sled takes its
place, and in absence of snow lighter
vehicles are used for driving purposes.
The best place for the farm wagon dur
ing this period of rest is under cover,
but they do not all get there. In spite
of all that has been said and written
concerning the damaging effects of such
practice, many wagon gets no housing
save that of some friendly snowdrift.

How to Kill and Dress Fowls.

Turkeys should not be fed for twelve
hours and it would be better not to feed
them for twenty-four hours before kill
ing. This permits the removal of the
crop through much smaller incision
near the neck without danger of tearing
the adjacent parts. Before killing, tie
the feet of the turkey together and SIS
pend it head downward from q pCle,
place its head upon wooden block and
sever the neck near the head vita q
quick blow from sharp AK. Let The
fowl remain in this position for Few
minutes until it bleeds freely, as
that renders the flesh a clear white
and improves its keeping quality.
Pluck quickly while still warm,
for the feathers then come put
easily and there is no danger Of tearing
the tender skin. If this precaution is
observed, there is no need of scalding;
hot water cooks the delicate skin and
leaves it blotched and discolored.
Poultry that has been in scalding water
also shrinks considerably upon being
cooled, while the skin appears drawn
in some places and wrinkled in others.
Dry picked poultry presents more at
tractive appearance, and keeps fresh
and plump looking for greater length
of time Indeed the better plan is
never to let it come in contact with wa
ter either hot or cold even after re-
moving the viscera, the opening for
which should be made just below the
breast bone, the cavity should simply
be wiped out with a damp cloth.

Dorset Sheep.

Dorset sheep come from the South Of
England, says writer in the Country
Gentleman. They are very old breed.
In their own native district they take
the buck in April, and the lambs are
ready for market about Christmas time.
A large share OF the ewes bear twins,
and many of them triplets. They have
large udder and yield great deal OF
milk They will come in heat soon
after weaving, and SO will produce two
sets of lamps in one year when well fed;
They have done so in this country, and
bore the second family while sucking
the first How long they will keep up
this habit in America remains to be
shown. They do have the propensity
to breed twins and triplets and this
characteristic gives them value. The
Dorset rams, on this account, are val
liable to cross upon the other large
sheep. A Dorset ram crossed upon a
lot of Shropshire ewes, brought nearly
all twins.
Like all large sheep, they want liberal
feeding, ard like all large sheep, with
out it they will become rusty and ugly
looking Very likely this was the case
with your correspondents No doubt
there is difference in the various fam
lilies, even in Dorsetshire. | have Sc
lections from four breeders in America;
one lot were small and insignificant, the
others large and very strong sheep.
The Dorsets respond to feed wonderful
ly, and the lambs take very rapid
