PUSH 1T FORWARD.
Every Business Man should BE a Member
of the Board of Trade.

Missoula, Dec. lit is to be hoped
that some way will be found TO carry
out the suggestions made by Judge
Frances at the meeting of the board OF
trade recently regarding permanent
quarters for the board. Ever since II
was organized, the board has met
wherever II could find a vacant room
and the uncertainty of securing a
meeting place has interfered seriously
with the attendance at the meetings.
WdIth comfortable and convenient quar-
tiers the board OF trade would be in a
position to do much more good for the
city than 1t has thus far been able to
accomplish. A permanent exhibit of To-
cal products could be arranged and
visitors in the city could be shown that
the city has some foundation for the
claims NJ makes regardingthe resources
OF its tributary country.
The Missoula board of trade has been
organized iess than a year, but during
THAT time has accomplished much for
the city, whose advantages and re-
sources have been more thoroughly ad-
ver-tiSed than ever before. II was sole
ly through the agency OF the board of
trade that the Western Montana Fair
was inauguI-ated and carried through
successfully. If this were the only good
show for its work. dt would be suffi-
cient to commend 1t TO the business
men of the town. but there are many
other benefits which should be credited
TO the board. In spite of all this, there
are not a few merchants and business
men IN the city who either sheer ait the
board of trade or refuse to cooperate
with II in any way. These men should
get in and drill and make ehe board of
trade representative of every business
interest in the city. Then 1T would be-
come a powerful agent for good.
To the persistent efforts of a few
earnest members is due most of the
success which the board OF trade has
attained. President Francis, Treasurer
Stoddard, Secretary Cobban and
Messrs. Brooks, Winstanaey, Mcleod,
Higgins. John Bonner, Rankin and
Hosey have worked faithfully for the
welfare of the board. II is a matter
Cor congratulat4on that the board has
reelected the officers and executive
committee that have done such good
work. This action promises further
benefits to be derived

American government TO redeem its pa

and vital error, whose evil influences are
still felt. In his opinion the United States

such that II can aspire to take from Eng

not to be duped by the ambiguous ex-
pressions as to bimetallism INDUCED in
by European statesmen for public effect,
he calls attention to the enormously In
creasing output Of gold. and says that In
view of this fact the bimetallism move
ment Is bound TO collapse. NJ Beaulieu
closes his article with these profoundly
significant words:
The abandonment of notes or paper
money issued by the state; the definite
adoption OF gold as the sole standard
these are the two necessary conditions on
which the United States can secure a
financial position as important as that
they now hold In agriculture and indus

some day approach and equal Great Brit

afissoria, Dec 11.-For the brief re
manning period of the deer shooting
season, there will be no lack OF hunt
ers in the hills OF Western Montana.
Everybody that has time and ammunf-
vtdon has either gone or is going and
blacktaals and whttetails will suffer IL
nhey get within range. There have
been very few deer killed this season
ON account of the snowfall IN the
mountains being so late. The deer are
staying far up in the hills and. until
the snow drives them down, there will
not be much show for the hunters.
Last year the conditions were nearly
the same, and. as a result, lumbermen
and prospectors say that there are
more deer in the higher ranges than
for many years.
The favorite shooting ground for
Nfissorla sportsmen this year is the re-
gaon between Eddy and Vermillion and
there are now several parties out In
the snow looking for venison. Monday

Old timers do not understand the
eagermess of the younger hunters for
deer. For several years after Missoula
was settled, deer were so plentiful that
they were not considered worth shoot
ing unless a man was hungry. Colonel
Tom Marshall tells OF one winter when
the deer came into the valley and fed
with his horses within a short distance
of his house. But times are very diff
ferent now and the deer has become
an animal that furnishes good sport for
the hunter and vendson is now a meat
that ds relished for its rarity.

A Case which Involves a Dam Site Has
Been Decided.

Been Decided.
Missoula, Dec. 11.-Register Evans OF
the focal land office has received from
Washington the decision of the secretary
of the interior in the contest case OF
John f. Morgan VS.. the Missoula General
Electric company. This is the case which
involved the dam site which has been
the source of so much contention and
discussion during the past few years.
John f. Morgan withdrew from the case
early but was succeeded by Harry ID.
Moore who claimed the land under
homestead entry and contested the filing
of the company. The decision of the
secretary closes the case and instructs
the Missoula land office to consider the
homestead entry of Mr.. Moore.
The commissioner of the general land

the state of Montana to show cause why

Gray's River. Wash, the other day came
to big fallen tree In his path. The
ground seemed clear on the other side
and he leaped his horse over the trunk
The horse landed squarely on the back OF
a bear, which evidently had been asleep
there. The bear was as much startled as
the horse and quickly made of, while the
hunter was thrown to the ground, the
horse pitching him out of the saddle side
ways in its frightened leap away from
the bear.

To Build One Does Not Call for Very
Much Expenditure.
No particular architectural ability is
needed in putting up In icehouse, sug-
gests the American Cultivator. All that
is needed is to put up a frame, inclos-
ing it both inside and out. in a locality
where there is good drainage, so that
water from melting ice can be carried
away without letting current of air
come up through the ice. The filling
in of the air spaces between the double
wall is commonly done with sawdust.
This is cheap, and in localities where
there are lumber mills, it is often so
plentiful that it is given away to any
one who will take it. 1t is necessary.
however, even then, to get the saw
dust early, for as the time for filing
icehouses approaches, there is always
a demand for it. A new material
known as mineral wool has lately been
introduced. 1t is mineral. and, of
course, is not wool at all, though it
looks and feels like wool. 1t is the
Dy the action of heat on the particles
of sand that it contains. Once this
Stag remained in immense piles around
iron ore refneries, but it's value for
making mineral wool has caused de-
nand for all that can be got of it.
The cost of mineral wool if near to
factory will probably be near SIT per
ton, but it's bulk in proportion to
weight is so great that it cannot be
transported far. 1t is the cleanest
and best non-conductor of heat. 1t
contains a great amount of air, and
when laid in the walls is a non-con-
ductor of heat and of sound also. No
kind Of insect or other vermin will
live in walls where the filling is with
this glass material. For this reason,
as well as a non-conductor of heat, it
is considerably used for sheathing
dwelling houses. It also greatly re-
tards destruction when houses are at
tackled by fire.

the best branches are left, and these
headed back to within few buds each.
The branches left on, of course, must
be carefully selected, so that the stubs
start from the body at the proper
height to form a good top
Usually we cut the trees back in the
manner here suggested before plant
ing. Prof. Bailey suggests leaving the
tops on until after the trees are set,
proper height of starting the top, the
operation is easier done, and there is
no further danger of breaking off the
limbs by the handling of the tree.
Every planter may suit his own no
tions in this respect. In no case, how
ever. is it safe to leave trees planted
this fall untrimmed until spring, or
without trimming at any time. The
roots are more or less mutilated. and
notin shape support the evapora-
tion of moisture going on all the time
through the comparative excess of
top. If fa1l-planted trees are yet un-
trimmed, the work should be done at
once on the lines herein suggested
The young trees are now firmly estab-
lished in the soil, but for further Sc
curity against loosening the roots the
foot may be placed at the base of the
tree and the superfuous branches re-
moved. Make the cut from the under
side, while the left hand bends the
branch to be removed upwards. Have
the knife sharp in order to make a
clean, smooth cut.-American Garden

WINTERiNG CELERY.
Leaving the Plants in the Ground Is Said
to BE a Good Plan.

Leaving the Plants in the Ground Is Said
to BE Good Plan.
Our plan is to leave the celery right
in the ground where it grew. Remov-
ing it is sure to wilt it; and don't
care how well it is hlanched, wilted
celery is always tough. Then it loses
those most desired qualities freshness
and crispness.
We set our plants in June, and as
soon as they are five or six inches high,
"handle" them-that in, gather the
plants in one hand and draw the earth
around with the other. We have sue
ceeded best with level setting. We use
bar shave plow for killing up as soon
as the plants are large enough, then
finish with hoe. The Milling is con-
tinued as often as needed till danger
of heavy freezing, when we cover all
with earth save little of the tops;
over these place light layer of straw
and cover this with earth. Now cover
the whole ridge with fresh manure
from the horse stable, sufficient to
keep out the frost. Then you have it
ready for winter, and soon it will be
ready for use. Dig as rluch at time
as will keep fresh without whiting be-
fore used, but no more. This may
seem like some work and trouble, but
/ do not think anyone after eating eel
cry kept in this way will say he is not
paid for his trouble. Persons who are
used to good celery tried ours last win
ter and said it was the best they ever
put in their mouths.-W. A. McDor

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs. .
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

THE ROAD PROBLEM.

Extract from a Paper Read at Wiscon.
sin Farmers InstiCute.
| The present system of paying high
way taxes, figuratively designated as
I''working them out" is admittedly
bad and can be easily remedied, but
an attempt to make change in this
direction would undoubtedly meet
with opposition, hence I have avoided
| discussing that subject, prcferring to
let the several propositions stand
alone and be discussed and considered
on their respective merits. The sub
ject of good roads has received so
much discussion in the public press
lately, and there seems to be such a
uniform consensus of opinion that
something must be done in this direc-
ton, little more remains to be done
than to devise some general plan
which shall not only be feasible but
generally accepta BILE. Good roads
mean great deal more than mere
convenience. They mean more than
saving money, which, however, is a
matter of no small Importance. They
mean more intimate relationship be-
tween the city and country people, to
the mutual advantage of both. They
mean that living in the country for
six months in the year shall not be
practical isolation.
Poor roads keep the farmer and his
family at home at that season of the
year when they have the most leisure,
when time hangs heavily, when it
could and would add to their enjoy
ment socially, and advantage educa-
tionally, if a frequent drive to the
town or city, or a visit among the
neighbors and friends living at a dis
lance of few miles, could be taken.
The longing of many young men and
women to escape from the farm is
largely traceable to the isolation
caused by the mud embargoes. Good
roads mean better prices for the farm
ers located few miles away from the
market town, because the present con-
dition of the highways compels the
marketing of the products of such
farms at the times when the roads are
good and the market prices usually
lowest. Good roads would permit the
average purchaser of farm produce
living in towns and cities to buy his
stock of such articles at lower price
than at present.
Indeed it seems to me that no more
topic in financial and So
cial way has Of late engaged the at
tention of the public. If, then, this
subject is of such prime Importance,
the necessity of moving with great
care will be apparent. AS indicated
above, it seems to me wisest to COM
