IN SPLENDID CONDITION
A Careful Examination of Mis-

A FEW FOUND INFECTED
Strict Inspection for the Purpose OF
Protecting Montana Fruit Growers.
Orchards Have Been Infected by
Using Second Hand Boxes

Missoula, Sept. 16.-Inspectors Band
horticulture have been making careful
examination of the local orchards this
week. Most of the orchards are found
to be in splendid condition, especially
few of the older orchards in the cen
trail part of town have been found to
be infected in slight degree with
some minor pests and means have been
the existence of these pests, to eradicate
them. The woolly aphis was found
upon one tree and this tree was at once
destroyed. 1t is this strict and active
inspection that will effectually protect
the Montana orchards. and ii is hoped
the board of horticulture will continue
the good work that it has begun.
One of the most certain ways of in
Producing these fruit pests, aside from
the Importation of infected fruit. is
the employment of boxes and cases by
local packers, the cases having come
from outside the state. Some of the To-
cal dealers have been in the habit of
selling these boxes to fruitgrowers, and
in this way some local orchards have
become infected. The board of horti-
culture has a rule that fOrbids the use
of such boxes. and insists upon their
destruction by the dealers as soon as
they are empty. Secretary Edwards of
the board has sent notices to all deal
ers in the state, warning them against
any infraction of this rule, which is to
be strictly enforced.

"A Breach of Promise" is the play

Union opera house Tuesday evening.
1t is said to be one of the greatest hits
of the season. and seems to be produced
on very good principle, namely,
Nothing prettier than a pretty girl:
nothing Sweeter than sweet song. and
nothing more graceful than a graceful
dance" for these prominent features
have received special attention. The
play is a typical farce comedy, bright
and witty. The trouble which causes
all the merriment is traceable to the
loVable and matrimonial proclivities of

SPECULATE IN HISTORIC SPOTS.
What the Birth places of Famous Men Are
Worth as a Business.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
Last year no fewer than $4,000 peo-
pie passed the turnstiles which guard
the entrance to the little room in which
Burns first saw the light. In 1896, the
centenary year of Burns death, the
number reached $4,000, and as pence
is demanded from each visitor, very
simple calculation will show what a
large sum of money is annually OBJ
tanned by this means.
The cottage is a very humble, one
storied little erection, with a thatched
roof, and the poets father, when he
first went to live there, would have
opened his eyes pretty widely had any
one been able to tell him what a sum
was one day to be received for it. The
place was bought from him tafter the
poets DEATH by corporation of shoe
makers, who afterwards sold it 70 the
present trustees for $20 900.
Another famous birthplace which at
tracts large number of people is that
of Thomas Carlyle at Ecclefechan,
which is 20 or 30 miles north of Carl
isle There is no fixed scale of charges
for visiting this cottage, but as l205
people climbed the stairs last year and
each probably left something with the
care-taker it will be easily seen that
here too, is nice little property.
There are other places, more or less

The charge for admission to the house
is pence. but as an interesting
museum is usually visited at the same
time, for which an extra 8 pence is de-
manded. few persons leave the build

Then there is Ann Hathaway's' cot
tage to be also seen. This is a mile
away from Stratford, at the pretty lit
tie village of ShOttery, and it is where
the poets wife was woed and won. The
writer, during a recent visit to it. was
informed that on an average 100 peo-
pie a day all the year around come to
see the cottage, and as each visitor
pays 8 pence, $500 or $4,000 a year
must be made out of it.

Alaskan Trade.

Mssoula. Sept. 16.-Agent Garfield of
the Northern Pacific office at Tacoma is
in the city on his annual fishing trip
and will spend the next week in the
Bitter Root. Mr.. Garfield says that
Alaskan trade this fall is very heavy
and that every steamer that has left
Tacoma this month has been compelled
to leave freight on the wharves. Near
ly all of the Pacific steamers will be
busy soon to their capacity as trans
ports for the new regiments that are
to be taken to Manila. All of the
available steamers that are desirable
have been chartered by the government
and the indications are that the new
troops are to be hurried forward as
rapidly as possible.

District Court.

Hamilton, Sept 16.-The time of the
Ravall county district court was taken
up yesterday with the case against
Walter Morgan for stealing gold dust.
The states evidence was to the effect
that Morgan took the dust from sack,
while the defense claimed that he got
the dust from some old sluiCe boxes
which had been washed out and which
he had been given permission to clean
for what was in them. The case went
to the jury yesterday afternoon about
2:30 o'clock, and shortly after Z the
jury sent a note to Judge Woody to
the effect that they could not reach an
agreement and had agreed to disagree.
His honor sent back word that they
could stay until the next night, but
they must find a verdict if possible.
The balance of the afternoon, after
the Morgan case was disposed of in
court, was taken up in getting jury
in the murder case against Nels Peter
son, and that will begin the first thing
this morning.

search of a daughter whom he has not

mother died shortly after she was born
and the child was placed in the hands
of it's grandmother while Mr.. kughn
went into the army of the union and
fought his country's battles until the
