year, and to see IL their last years
skates needed sharpening.
There are some new things in skates
this year. some of the manufacturers
putting on the market an improved arti-
Gle, with additional mechanical con-
trivances for fixing the skate to the
shoe.
1t is not yet known whether the Ath-
letic field this year will be flooded and
transformed into a asst skating rink as
1t was last year. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that the management Of the field
will again turn in the water. The field
is a vast one and when filled with water
1t is one of the largest and best ice Kinks
in the country.
1t has been suggested that IL the rink
is again made a skating club be
formed, with a properly constituted or
g~anization. There does not seem to be
any reason why such an organization
should not be a success. 1t would GER
tainly be beneficial in stimulating inter-
est in the pastime. Besides. with a
club in existence. match races between
fast ice men could be arranged and a
skating tournament held. say once ev-
cry month, with prizes for the winners
of the matches. Under the direction of
a club 1t would also be possible to pull
of match races between professional
skaters. There were many of the pro-
fessional class in Montana last year. but
no matches to speak of were pulled off.
This was doubtless due to the absence
of a club. II a club Is to be organized
IL should be done as early as possible
so that everything could be thoroughly
arranged before the real season Of
skating begins.
There is tall also Of recognizing last
years polo club. That club had a good
atart lat 1ytntnr hut DlarAA Aolr nnA
OF w games. but played no games in
this city. The club was unfortunate in
the matter of weather. for 1t did look as
though every time a game was arranged
for the frost would break up a day be-
fore the date Of the game and the rink
would be covered with water. 1t is not
to be supposed that this will again be
the case. and II the club is revived il
will no doubt be able to pull OF all the
games 1t desires.
There are many polo players in Ana
conda. as was shown by the splendid
organization Of last year. Besides those
who have had experience in polo play,
ing there are scores Of fast, strong
skaters who. with q little practice,
would make excellent polo players.
Butte is to have its club again this year,
and the pastime In that city gives prom
Use Of being more successful even than
IL was last year. With a club in Ana
conda and n in Butte. together with
good Kinks in both places, a series of
match contests could be arranged. al
t~ernating the games between the two
places. Many other cities Of the state
Missoula. Helena. Great Falls-would
no doubt also fall In line IL a proper
were made. With these cities all
having a polo team perhaps q grand
polo tournament could be arranged in
which all could take part.
There Is no more healthful exercise
than skating and ice polo. and IL Is sin
cerely to be hoped that the preliminary
steps are taken early.
There Is talk also OF a curling club.

WOOL GOTTEN FROM PIN TREES.
New Industry About tn he Launched In
the State of Oregon.

w. W ofskoh.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Most men would as o think of
gathering figs of thistles as wool of
pine trees. yet that Is just what the
promoters of "A new Oregon industry
proposes TO do. MI. and Mrs. ID. A.
Cords are establishing a plant at
Grants Pass for the manufacture OF
pine needles into a fabric very like
wooden cloth. There is nothing new I'm
this industry. Ii has been carried on
in Europe for years. but never before
has IL occurred to anyone hat in the
forest Of oregon is better material and
more of IL for the manufacture of pine
wool than any place else in the world.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cords are enthusiasts,
but are practical minded withal. and
do not purpos to start I'm on too large
a scale. They intend first to max ma
terial of the consistency Of excel
sior for mattresses. after that they will
manufacture the cotton which is used
for underclothing. bandages and other
where a soft and pliable ia
brio Is required. Only the inner ia
brio of the needles al be used for
the latter. and the process Is expensive,
but no more so than that of the manu-
facture of lambs wool.
Mrs. Cords is familiar with the pro-
cess Of manufacturing fabrics from
pine needles in Germany and France.
and in a visit to Oregon something
more han a year ago II occurred To
her that the pine trees here were better
suited TO the purposes of manufacture
than those of the continent. A little
investigation convinced her that IL
would be worth while to try the expert

Woman to Manage Him.
The lord of creation was sitting with
some men friends before a CRATE fire
n cold evening last week, and was
exchanging with them opinions on per-
sons and things. The conversation had
drifted around to a discussion of mar
ried life, and the host had the floor.
"Unaccountable. isn't it?" SAID he.
"how hard II is to make some women
understand that they don't need To

was clever or not. l didn't care. We

have learned that Polly's friends were
under the impression hat she had cap

him with sugar plums of fiction. She

a very brilliant person like myself, and
IA only her craftiness kept me from

Dewey Reminded Him.

When Dewey was first lieutenant Of
one Of the gunboats which Farragut
used as dispatch boat, the admiral
used often to come aboard and steam up
near the levee to reconnoiter.. The
southerners had a way of rushing field
piece to the top Of the high bank, firing
it point blank at the gunboat and then
backing down again. On one such occa.
sion Farragut saw Dewey dodge shot,
"Why don't you stand firm, lieuten-
ant?'' said he. "Don't you know you
can't jump quick enough?'' A day or SC
after the admiral lodged a shot. The
lieutenant smiled and held his tongue,
but the admiral had a guilty conscience.
He cleared his throat once or twice,
shifted his attitude and finally declared
"Why, sir, you can't help it, sir. It's

Writing under the date of July 4

Hearst, editor of the New York Jour-

Spain's navy as follows:

headed our dispatch boat Silvia down

we could yesterday, when fire was
sweeping them, the wrecked and ruined
leviathans Of Spain's navy. They lie
with their heads buried in the sand, as
if to hide from themselves the sight OF
their own destruction and humiliation.

American Sailors Tell a Tale of Insurgents
Butchering Seven Spanish Prisoners.
According to the report brought to
Norfolk by the crews Of the collier Abe
renda and gunboat Dolphin, recently
arrived from Santiago, seven Spanish
prisoners captured by Huntingdon ma
rines near Guantanamo were murdered
by Cuban troops. According to the re-
port, the Spaniards were turned over to
some Cuban soldiers who were sn1 .,SeS
ed to bring them to CAMP. Instead the
Cubans returned alone.
"Where are the prisoners?' it is said
the captain of marines asked.
'Too hot to bring them in,' was the
reply. This aroused suspicion and a
search was made. It is reported that
the seven bodies were found piled on top
Of one another in an old we'll. The men
Of our vessels vouch for the truth Of
the murders, but no official report, so
far as known, has been made.-New

THEY ARE A LEGAL TENDER.
The State of Virginia Must Accept Its

Peals of Virginia in the case of \. y.

Virginia.
The case involved the validity of the
state laws concerning coupons issued
under the act of 1871. Mccullough
rendered some of these coupons in
payment of his taxes. They were not
accepted by the state authorities, and
the state supreme court sustained
their refusal. Yesterdays decision re-
verses this decision of the state court,
holding that the coupons were a legal
tender for taxes in the state. Justice

Detained at San Juan.

New York, Dec. 6.-The United
States transport Mississippi arrived in
quarantine yesterday. She sailed from
San Juan, Porto Rico, on November
80, where she was detained some days
on a suspected case of yellow fever
from Santiago de Cuba, the patient
being removed to the laZarettO there.
Fourteen of the Mississippi's passen-
gers were discharged soldiers who
are returning from Santiago. 1t vas
decided to hold the steamer for a
thorough disinfection and cleaning.
No danger is apprehended by the
health officer, as there have been no
new developments since leaving San
Juan. The Mississippi will be held
until to-day, if nothing develops she
will allowed to proceed to the city.
