ALWAYS FOR MONTANA.
+. l. Whitney, General Passenger
Agent Of the Great Northern,
True Friend Of Silver.
He Says the White Metal Is Gaining
Strength Daily All Over
the Country.

f 1. Whitney, general passenger agent
Of the Great Northern, after spending
several days in visiting old-time friends
in this city, Helena, and Butte returned
to st. Paul On Friday.
Mr., Whitney is a thorough westerner
and there is something like a bond Of
sympathy between himself and the PEG.
pie Of Montana, which he says makes
him always want to visit this section o.
the country when he is taking a pleas
ure trip. Mr.. Whitney is greatly sur.
prised at the prosperity OF Montana in
spite Of the odds It is lighting against
and he takes a decidedly optimistic view
Of the future.
"The country along our lines has mover
looked better than it does now" he SAID
in conversation, land l have never seer
Montana in general looking 80 we'll. A
good deal Of interest has been taken in
the east lately in Montana's agricultural
industries, which are largely coming tc
the front. In a short time several bic
irrigation schemes of which / have
knowledge will be put through and Mon.
tana's vast mineral sourc will soor
be surpassed by her agricultural inter.
ests."
Mr.. Whitney stands right on the silver
question. 1.-THE only things we need
now," he said, "are for congress to ad.
journ and silver to go up. Silver has
now become a national question and
there can be no doubt that in a very
short time it will again take it's place as

DIAMOND
The Ease With Which Precious Stones of
Large Value May BE Concealed.

Ahe Ease with men PRECIOUS stones OF
Large Value May BE Concealed.
One of the simplest devices for SNUG
Cling diamonds is that of the hollow
heeled shoe. 1t is asserted that boots
and shoes constructed so as to leave q
small vacant space in the heels are easily
obtained in Europe, and they are espe-
clally manufactured for the purpose Of
supplying smugglers with a means for
escaping detection.
Tho porous plaster has often served as
, means of secreting diamonds. When
1t is understood that $40, 900 worth Of
diamonds Or more can easily be inclosed
in a paper parcel about as wide as this
column, ~ inches high and about a
quarter of an inch thick, it is easy to
comprehend that such a package can be
kept securely in place by means of an
innocent bu. highly serviceable porous
plaster.
One of the most ingenious methods
ever employed was the use of a cake of
soap, wherein a number of diamonds
had been imbedded. 1t is highly proba.
BILE that this plan would have proved
successful had it not been that the Off
GERS of the government had received in
formation that the suspected person had
diamonds with him and searched his cf-
fects so thoroughly that they examined
even the gem studded block of soap.
The wife of this smuggler helped her
spouse, and her plan was not less ingen-
ious than that of her husband. Her hat
was ornamented with punches of grapes,
which under ordinary circumstances
would only have awakened the envy of
other wearers of bonnets. Within the
grapes were diamonds and fancy stones
Of great value.
Another smuggler was especially pro-
vided by Providence with q smuggling
device in the shape of a heavy covering
Of thick, bushy hair, which he arranged
so that it stood up from his forehead
like IN impenetrable bush. Within this
mass of heavy hair he deposited a good
ly stock Of diamonds and succeeded for
a time in escaping the vigilance of the
custom house officials.
As these schemes have become known
w ehO SuSeohh houoC uutuO& iticS tuC II
genuity of smugglers has been more Sc
verely taxed. A recent discovery dis
closed the following elaborate plan,
which succeeded q great many times be-
fore it was discovered:
Two smugglers operated in partner
ship. The first crossed the ocean and be-
fore leaving the wharf reserved a return
berth for q certain date. The date and
the number of the berth were at once
cabled to his accomplice in America.
Having purchased his diamonds, in due
time he returned to this country in &C.
cordance with the instructions previous
ly cabled. No amount of examination
resulted in finding any diamonds upon
his person. Meanwhile, however, his
partner had secured the same berth.
When the day for sailing came, part
ner No. 2, accompanied by his family,
entered the cabin and extracted from a
secure hiding place several parcels of
diamonds left there by his accomplice.
These he handed to his fearful family,
who after bidding him goodby left the
steamer unsupported and brought the
diamonds into the market. 1t took a long
time to discover this scheme. Jewel

Work has been commenced on the
long tunnel for the Broadwater and at
present eight men are employed upon it.
This tunnel starts in about 2CO feet above
the bridge OF the Broadwater road and
it estimated that it will have to run
about a 1000 feet to strike the ore body,
which it IL expected it will do some 800
feet or 80 below the present lower tunnel.
1t will take in the neighborhood Of a
year to complete the tunnel to the
desired point. At present all work is
being done by hand, but in a short time

Stages Contemplate Enemies.
Spokane Review.

The motives back of the exposure of the
youthful misdeeds of Lionel Stagge ap-
pear to be quite as contemplate as those
which made miserable the after life of the
victim of the "Ticket-ofLeave Man." The
young man. through sheer merit, industry
and ability. was getting up In the world,
and some Of those whom he was passing
in the race for preferment felt that it
would help them and afford mean sort
of pleasure to pull him down. 1t appears
that they first blackmailed him into re-
signing his responsible office under the
government, and then broke faith with him
by spreading broadcast the information
they had promised to withhold. They
have made the mistake, so common with
petty minds Of thinking that by pulling
others down they advance their own for
tunes. They now find that sympathy
and substantial support go out to their
victim, while they fall in public esti-
nation.
Mr.. Stagge Is young, resolute and capa-
bic. and ought TO live down this severe
misfortune. 1t appears that he has the
sympathy of the Portland public and the
confidence of his bondsmen. With all
this in his favor. the cloud under which
he IL now suffering should soon pass over
It is hoped that he may rally from the
blow, and by the example of his after-life
afford conspicuous encouragement to
other young men who make false start
but who have in them true merit and a
deep undercurrent of integrity.

Gov. Brown, OF Maryland. asked the
legislature of his state, in his annual
message, to enact Law authorizing county
authorities to set tramps and vagaoonds
1t work On the roads. He would have all
such arrested upon appearances. tried, and
II found guilty sentsnced. not 70 the janis
or warehouses, but TO the custody of the
sheriffs. 70 work on the highways under
the direction Of the county commissioners.
He argues that in this way these tramps
would not b source of expense to the
community. but would more than earn
their food and lodging and the few clothes
which they would require, and more than
enough to pay for the cost Of guards and
overseers 70 keep them at work.
