Is now pretty certain from calculations
made by Astronomer Ball and Hutch

of the United States observatory, that
the earth is now losing speed at the

entirely ceases. But all should have
an interest in the ultimate fate of the
old world and the universe in general;
therefore, il is interesting to know
that there is as much as a minute lost
in the course of even 10000. years.
Whatever the loss is, II eventually
means a cessation of motion and gen.
eral standstill.

gravitation would cease to exert its in

II HAS LEAKED OUT
There Was an Interesting COcking J
Main in Hamilton Monday.
RAVALLPS BIRDS ON TOP

A Quiet Campaign-Brief
News and Personals.

Hamilton, April 3-From a street ru-
NOR of semi-sub-rosa order, 1t has
leaked out to-day. that Hamilton Mon
day night was the scene of quite an
interesting cooking main. The reports
are that meeting was arranged some
time ago, between some bird fanciers
who reside near this city and some
game bird owners in the lower end of
the valley, and that in accordance with
preexisting arrangements the event
took place last night near Hamilton.
1t is said that eight fights took place,
in which Ravalli county birds were
victorious six times thereby winning
the main and bringing into this vicini-
ty several hundred dollars. The whole
affair has been kept a secret and al
though many citizens have words of
praise for the game chickens of this
county, there are none who can speak
from their own knowledge. - =
On next Monday the city election
takes place, but were it not for the
notices published in the city papers no
one would even inquire that anything
of the kind is to occur. There is abso-
lutely no excitement regarding the
matter, and as to the school election
which takes place on Saturday. at
which the proposition of issuing bonds
to build a school house will be voted
upon, there are but few who know any
thing about ii.
For some time past the Baptist
church has been used as a school room,
the school house on Second street hav-
ing become too small to accommodate
the pupils in attendance. and now it
has become absolutely necessary to
build another public school building.
During the past week considerable
Improvement has been taking place on
Third street in the way of removing
some of the powders which rendered it
almost impossible. The streets gener-
ally are in good condition, with the ex-
ception of those places where materials
for new buildings have been piled up;
but as these distractions are only tenn
porary they give no cause for COM
plant.
The matter of building sidewalks will
in all probability be one of the first
propositions brought up before the new
city council when Ii meets next month.
In the past year quite a large number
Of dwellings have been erected at a
considerable distance from the main
business portion of the city and of late
the question of sidewalks is being quite
generally discussed. Beyond a doubt
Hamilton does need more sidewalks,
and Ii is to be hoped that the new
council will give the matter their care
full attention.
Since warm weather has returned the
ranchers in this vicinity have begun
blowing and in driving down the val1
ley, men and teams are seen at work
in almost every field. The prospects
seem favorable for getting crops
planted this season earlier than usual
A large number of brick masons
came up on this mornings train and
will begin work on the new hotel build
ing at once. N
During the past week several resi-
dents of the city have been grading
their lots preparatory to making a
lawn.

| 1t is not necessary to consider the va
rious reasons that would impel many in
habitants of the earth to go to Mars II
| they had the opportunity. But no one can
| doubt that the first train for Mars. or the
| first balloon, or the first electric liner
| sent out by the Universal Celestial Trans
portation and Safe Delivery company.
Mars division, would be booked to it's ut
most capacity. Curiosity alone would suf-
flee to crowd IL, and IL is certain that the
lAnglo-Saxon race, which has furnished
most of the great travellers, would be full
ly represented in the throng of adventur-
ers bound for another world.
When Mars is nearest to the earth its
distance is no less than SO 000, 600 miles,
But If we set our speed to match that of
an electric impulse flying through the At
lantic cable-say 1900 miles per second
we should be there in just 40 minutes. On
approaching Mars we should behold a
world looking in some respects remarka-
bly, like the earth, having seasons like
ours. with torrid, temperate and frigid
zones; turning on its axis like our globe,
and in nearly the same time, showing in
winter broad white caps, as of snow, COW
ering its polar regions. and presenting
many appearances suggestive of conti-
nents, oceans islands and peninsulas. AS
eyes, we should see on one side, south of
its equator, huge, staring, eyelike spot,
which Schiaparelli has named the lake
of the sum-" and on the opposite side,
reaching from the southern hemisphere
in the northern, a great, dark, crooked
area, somewhat resembling North Ameri-
ca in shape. and known to astronomers as
the "Hour-Glass sea-" And then all the
globe beneath us would appear to be map
ped with delicate reds and yellows and
grays and blues; long waving curves
and sharper indentations would make
their appearance in what look like coast
lines; and, presently, running east and
west, and north and south, and passing
beyond the horizons utmost rim," a net
work of dark-colored lines. like a vast
web covering the planet, would be seen.
These are the famous canals"
But while we were wondering what this
could mean, we would be struck by an
other unearthly thing. Being accustomed
to dwell on a globe three-fourths of whose
surface is covered with water IL could
not escape our notice that the world we
water. Indeed. it is likely that we should
find that the "Hour-Glass sea" and many
of the other so-called seas of Mars, are
only part of the time filed with water,
and that even then they are not like ter.
restrial oceans, but rather vast swamps,
choked with rank vegetation suddenly
awakened to life by periodical inunda-
lions supplying moisture to their roots.
Visiting them at another time, we should
find only deserts with cracked soil baking
in the sun. At any rate, some of the dis
coveries made with great telescopes in
1894 suggest these things.

Troubles at AN En-.
Horse Plains, April 3.-This valley is in
better shape this spring than it has been
for years. Farmers are all well along with
their blowing and the winter wheat is in
splendid condition. All of the young
orchards. too. are in good shape, and the
older trees will probably yield well this
year. The orchards of NJ. III. Pearce and
c. c. Willis especially are very promising.
Colonel j. A. MCGOWAN is planting an
orchard west of his hotel and is improv-
ing his grounds in other ways.
n. ]. Blake has begun the erection of a
handsome residence in town.
The troubles of this school district seem
to be at an end. The trustees have rented
a building in town and IL will not be nee
essary this winter for the children to
travel down the valley to the old school
house. There will be a school maintained
in the old building for the convenience of
the residents i'm the lower valley. Ii is ex-
pected that there will be division of the
district next fall and then a good school
house will be built in town.
There is as yet but one ticket in the
field for the school election tomorrow.
This carries the name of r. l.. Menifee
for the three-year term and c. b. Gibbs

known monarchs, one at Or. Wittfield's
place, about six miles south of Rock

place at Lake Worth. To the natives
countless numbers of immense rubber
trees are known, but, as their useful

are very little noticed. on the west
coast the trees are abundantly prom
inent, and are an open bid for the
people of our state to investigate their
value. At this time, when the people
are looking for new avenues in natural
products. IL would be reasonable 10
suppose that they would utilize the
wild rubber tree. on any of the KEYS
along the coast one could find a rubber
plantation or estate in an advanced

Missoula, April 3.--William Tonkin.

evening on business and returned this
morning 10 Thompson Falls. TO a
Standard reporter las; night Mr.. Ton
kin said that the mining outlook in
the west end of the county is excellent
and much important work will be done
there this year.
Placer miners are making final prepa-
rations for the seasons work. Charles
Blaisdell and the LaCass brothers Will
leave in about two weeks for Cedar
creek and California gulch and others
will start as soon as possible. The Ore
gon Gulch company has had men on
the ground all winter and everything
there Is in readiness for the resumption
of work as soon as the snow starts. Gid
Proper has some fine placer ground in
the Bear gulch country, upon which ex-
tensive development work has been
done and which will be ready for sluic-
ing as soon as the season opens. Along
the Missoula river below Iron mount
ain there are many claims that will
be worked this year.
Martina will be a busy camp this
year. as both the Nine Mile and Mis-
soula companies will have their plants
in operation. The prospects for sue
cessful season here are excellent. New
bodies of ore have been discovered and
the ore is richer than that which has
heretofore been worked.
In the Bitter Root valley. the Curlew
and neighboring claims are making
fine showing this spring. On Eight
Mile creek the White Cloud will be
worked. as WILL in all probability. the
properties of the Eight Mile Mining
company.
The most extensive mining operations
in the county will be in the Jumbo dis
trict where the Gelden Scepter Alps
Mcclure and Long & Mackay proper

The Republicans NJ ash z Forces A adjust

NJ. vans On Tactics
Missoula, April 3.-The municipal
campaign has waved warm to-day and
tonight IL is piping hot. The republic
cans have concentrated their forces
upon the Third ward and are making
the strongest fight they can to defeat
John NJ. Evans who is the democratic
candidate for alderman there. Yester-
day the local republican leaders be-
came alarmed over the outlook and
telegraphed to Helena for A. b. Cook
and ID. ID. Bogart. who are here to-day
and who have announced that they are
here to beat Evans. No wire that they
can pull Is allowed to hang slack, and
the fight is a lively one. Each party
to-nisct is confident that the Third
ward is its own. but there is no abate-
ment In the excitement. Just why the
republicans have centered the fight in
this ward does not appear. But every
good worker that they can command
is on the field and at work. They have
not succeeded in making any impress
sion, and Mr.. Evans prospects are
good.
In other wards the contest is prog
ressing more quietly. Republicans in
the Fourth ward sprung a bold lie this
afternoon when they said that A. w.
Merrick wanted to withdraw from the
aldermanic contest. Mr.. Merrick called
at the Standard Office tonight and
stated emphatically that he had never
thought OF withdrawing on the con-
trary ne is determined to show that he
cannot be beaten by any such tactics
as these
