the present seasons work is ended
Among the important improvements
that are contemplated is the introduce
ton of large centrifugal pump In the
river above Bonner that will raise the
river water to a reservoir from which
1t will be distributed for the purpose
OF irrigating the land around Bonner.
THESE tracts will be turned into gar
dens and the attractive park system of
the town will be increased This will
make Bonner one of the handsomest
places in the state and it will be the
most attractive lumber camp in the
world. This year many visitors have
been attracted to Bonner by its beau
tiful groves and it's magnificent sur
roundings and it is not unreasonable to
predict that next year will see this
place rivaling its sister town up the
Bitter Root as summer resort for the
people of the mountain towns.
The Bonner flour mills have made
Montana hard wheat flour famous. 1t
is now recognized as as good as the best
and the demand for it Is increasing all
over the state. This is the pioneer of
the larger flour mills of the state, and
the systematic efforts that have been
made by its superintendent to induce
the farmers to raise the right kind of
wheat are beginning to bear fruit and
the wheat crop of Western Montana
tbl7 yNehl 10 lllt btSl tidt has ever Dteu
produced. The farmers of Plains We're
the pioneers in the growing of Al hard
wheat in this section, and their example
has been followed by the ranchmen of
the FrenchtOwn and Bitter Root val
leys. till this year there is hardly any
of the old soft wheat in the market
This insures a large output of flour
of the first grade this fall, and the in
dications are that the Bonner mills will
run for a longer time than they ever
have before. At present carpenters are
at work increasing the capacity of the
elevators and bins at the mills from
10000 bushels to 10000 bushels. This
will give the mill storage capacity
that it has long needed ard will result
in an increased product that will meet
the demand for the flour that is being
made here.
Bonner is one of the busiest towns in
the West Il is also one of the most
attractive. A. B. Hammond tried here
the experiment of making hard wood
grove, and the result of that expert
ment is the beautiful park that sur
rounds the gem of a hotel that is such
a pleasant resting place. The town is a
model lumber town and a visit to 1t Is
a surprise to everybody who makes the
trip up to the mouth Of the Blackfoot.

WONDERFUL GEYsER At WORK.
California Spouter That Throws Water
so Feet in the Air.

oV rect IN tne AIT.
The people of Southern California
have recently been favored with one
of the most extraordinary exhibitions
of natural phenomena on record, one
which has even astonished beyond
measurement all classes of a commu-
nifty familiar already with instances of
what nature can accomplish when it
sets out to do something out of the
common. Southern Californians are so
used to shocks Of earthquakes, incipi-
ent volcanoes or threatening tidal
waves that it takes something ex-
tremely eruptive to disturb their or
binary composure, but the successful
effort of rural rancher in his search
for water with which to irrigate his
fields, parched with long drouth, has
turned the gaze of the whole state
toward the little town of Whittier, a
hamlet located in the neighborhood of
Los Angeles.
Some weeks are farmer named
Myers. living at Santa Fe Springs, be-
gan sinking an artesian well. Others
in the neighborhood had successfully
tapped subterranean flow at depths
of from 300 to 400 feet, and Mr.. Myers
hoped for a successful issue to his en-
terprise. By slow stages the drills
descended until depth Of 500 feet was
attained. This was on Sunday, May
IA. A drill 200 pounds in weight was
employed, and the prospect of tapping
good flow Of water was becoming
more and more encouraging. A 1O-inch
pipe had been sunk some distance, and
the usual preparations made for con-
trolling the flow when it did make its
expected appearance
The heavy drill was working with
its usual monotonous regularity when
after one deep plunge a loud roaring
sound was heard coming from the
well, accompanied by Jets of muddy
water and the outbursts of heavy
stones. Soon after the drill itself made
its appearance, followed by grand
column of water, which forced itself
higher and higher until the top reach
ed an elevation of 500 feet. The flow
was accompanied by vast quantities of
gas smelling Of sulphur strongly and
igniting when fire was applied, burn
ing with strong blue flame. Oil in
considerably quantities was mixed
with the flow.
height with the water and the exhibit
ton of tremendous force was appall-
ing to the last degree. No geyser of
the Yellowstone ever displayed such
activity. The column of muddy water
was like a great pillar extending al
most to the clouds and falling back to
earth again in graceful festoons. The
force exerted was equal to a thousand
powerful engines. For two weeks this
phenomenon has been active, though
some diminution of the force exerted
is beginning to be apparent. The flow
of water is enormous, and, the coun-
try being fiat, some difficulty is appre-
hended in its control.

GOOD ROADS,
County surveyor Can Make Himself
Highly Popular.


Mssoula, Sept. 4.-The man is UNI
reasonable who expects reforms and
improvements to be accomplished at
once. The county road problem is in
a fair way to be satisfactorily solved,
if the people of the county will have
patience. The county surveyor cannot
possibly get around the county at once,
but his work is getting a good start
and the results, as far as they are seen,
show that the Improvement in the con-
dition of the roads is great. The new
road over the Lolo grade is the best
road in the county. AS understood, this
is the class of road that 1t is proposed
to build all over the county as fast
as possible. 1t is hoped that the road
between Missoula and Bonner, which is
used more than any other piece of high
way in the county, will receive atten-
ton soon. 1t is in deplorable condition
and needs attention Immediately If
the Lolo road can be duplicated be-
tween here and Bonner the county sur
veyor will find himself the most popu-
lar man in the county. He will not
stand very well, however, unless he
does something and soon.

Novel Way to Destroy a Chimney.

Here is a novel and economical way
of destroying a large brick smoke
stack. The stack was 266 feet in
height and q feet in diameter, and it's
removal was accomplished in the fol-
lowing manner: The brick was re-
moved from one side at about three
feet from the ground, and the opening
thus formed filled with built-up wood
en- blocks, between which We're packed
tar, sawdust and paraffin. This ma
terial was then set on fire and caused
the chimney to crack and fall within
a space that had been previously
marked on the ground. Not only was
the cost much less than if the brick
had been torn down, but there was also
recovered much material In good con-
dition for future use.

AN ATTRACTIVE CITY.
Nissoula's Streets Need Only Little
Care and Attention.

Missoula, Sept. 4.-With the compile
ton of the contemplated improvements
in Missoula, the city will become one
of the most attractive cities In the
Northwest. 1t is a city that is now in
high favor with the travelling public,
and if the contemplated street work is
carried through Systematically the city
will be able to boast the finest streets
in the state. The natural conditions
here are favorable to good streets and
now that the subject has receivtd care
full study and a scheme decided upon
for their improvement, the results will
be such that the city will be proud of
itself. A little work each year, sys-
tematically carried out will accomplish
more than the casual observer would

A CURIOUS SPECIMEN.
Floating Bubbles Encased in Piece of
Translucent Quartz.

Missoula, Sept. 4.-Hermann Kohn
has curious specimen of quartz that
is superior to one that was recently de-
scribed in the Standard as being in the
possession of an eminent professor in
the East. 1t is clear specimen of
translucent quartz, attached to a piece
of black, flinty rock. In the translu-
cent portion of the specimen is a couple
of bubbles that can be seen moving
about as the crystal is turned. These
bubbles are of water and carbon-diox-
ide, according to the opinion of the geol-
ogist of the state university. The speci-
men is fine sample of the geode and
Mr. Kohn is naturally quite proud of
it. He obtained it from a couple of
lumber jacks, who had picked it up and
brought it in for sale.

1t Interests the State.
This is a matter that should be
taken advantage of by the entire state
OF Montana. 1t is not a local affir,
in which Missoula is interested alone,
but 1t affects the whole state. Every
member of the legislature should make
it point to be present; every city
should send a delegate; every canal
and lrrigating company should be rep
resented; every commercial club and
board of trade should send a delegate.
In this way Montana will demonstrate
her appreciation of the visit of the
congress to this state. 1t is an oppor-
tunity such as is seldom afforded. A
big Montana delegation will insure the
success of the meeting, which means
so much to the state. Thus far the
replies and announcements that have
been received by the local committee
indicate that the attendance, both from
Montana and other states, will be
large. Missoula will do her best to re-
ceive and entertain them properly.
Montana must help by sending dele
gates. That will benefit the state and
make the meeting a splendid one.

GREATEST THERMOMETER.
Il IL Seventy Feet LOng ana 70 0o
sunk In Shaft OF BQuaI
Length.

With as little sign Of excitement as
il it we've only a ten-cent toy, there IS
being placed in the ground by Co'.
Knight, of Harestock, Winchester, Eng
land, a giant thermometer, that is to
be used to measure the earth's temper
ptuyc Tie thermometer is 20 feet long,
and the work of merely placing 1t III
rosition Las occupied a corps OF work
men for long time.
First shaft was sunk 10 feet INTO
the ground and then scaffoldlng was
erected over the shaft TO render the
landing of the great thermometereasy.
The scatfolding was higher than 1le
thermometer. which had to be holsteu

cranes and then dropped gently into
the 70-foot shaft
When it is in place this unique ther-
mometer will register the temperature
Of mother earth 10 feet below the sur
| face, recording exactly all her moods,
and giving scientists an opportunity to
become more closely acquainted with
the underground mysteries OF the globe
on which we live.
| The giant thermometer is made III ac-
cordance with the principles that gov
ern the small instruments in everyday
use. In constructing it many difficult
ties had to be overcome, on account OF
it's great size.
In Col. Knights thermometer it was
not possible to use any but an arbitrary
scale. 1t is not supposed that there VIII
be any comparable readings necessary
with this giant instrument. Careful OBJ
srryations will be made, however, ant
the result recorded on the instrumen
so that the big thermometer can bt
read, if possible, in accordance with tn
scale of smaller instruments.
In making scales for the latter, tn
bulb is frozen and the freezing poin
recorded on the scale. 1t is then boile'
and the boiling point marked on tn
tube. The remaining points are fille'
in by dividing up the scale into sec
tions. This simple plan was the basl
Of the scale adopted for the 7O-fot
thermometer, although this scale ana
be subject to variations when the grea
instrument is in working order.
The largest thermometer ever mad
previous to the one constructed by Co
knight was constructed by Forbes, VIII
built one measuring nearly 40 feet i
length. This was considered gret
accomplishment, and the Forbes the

ANDREE MAY RETURN
Theory Of a Vienna Explorer on the
Subject.
The DiscOverer Of Frans Josef Land
Thinks the Lost AerOnaut May
Return Through That
Country.

Herr Julius Won Payer, of Vienna,
an experienced explorer who was one
of the leaders in the discovery OF Franz
Josef Land thinks Andree may yet re-
turn via that country, although he Is
not very sanguine. His theory is that
Andree. after leaving Spitzbergen, may |
have fallen into a strong air current
which carried the balloon for several
DAYS toward the northeast, and then
drove it in a southeasteriy direction.
That he believes, would bring them to
the east coast of Franz Josef Land.
From that place the little party would
have to make its way over dangerous
ice not always continuous, and with
open sea in places, to the coast or 81
IBERIA. But even when they arrived
! there-if, indeed, they have been so for
| tunate-their work would not be near
" over. It is still a long and difficult
tourney to reach the more inhabited
parts; so that Herr Won Payer thinks
there is not the least chance OF the
adve nturers, supposing them to be
alive, being heard Of before next au-
tumn. Obviously, the route which he
suggests as possible involves many
grave contingencies.
The evidence, however, in favor of
the supposed path Of the balloon is OF
the slightest character. 1t may not
have taken that return course toward
the southeast, and, in any case, the
Franz Josef group Of islands is not SO
large that an unmanageable apparatus
like a balloon might not easily miss
them all. If it did, and particularly If
it we're involved in those variable drifts
of which Nansen had experience, 1t
might float about until from exhaus-
ton of it's gas it settled down upon the
) sea. In this case, we think. the ex-
plorer's chance of reaching land,
though they had endeavored to pro-
vide for this contingency. would not be
worth very much. Even ii they have
: alighted on flrm ground, and have saved
d. their weapons and fair supply OF am
, munition-and without these they
