MISSOULA NOTES.

Latest styles of engraved calling
cards at the Standard office.
The farmer with oats to sell continues
to smile broadly and to sympathize
with the granger who sold his oats last
fall. Oats are good property now.
The high water experience meeting
is the fad at present. The man with
the highest water tale is the best man
now. Superintendent Russell will rank
well up in the list as soon as he gets
time to talk.
There seems to have been a sudden
lapse in the interest regarding the pro-
ject of new bridge across the Mis-
soula river opposite the State univer-
sity. The matter is one of Importance
and should not be dropped.
The irrigation congress will bring to
Missoula the very class of people that
will be able to do the city and it's tribu-
tary country the most good. Missoula' s
business men should spare no pains to
insure the success of the meeting.
The fruit industry of Western Mon
tana will take new and vigorous start
this year. The experimental stage of
the orchardist's work is mast and the
experience gained will make it possible
for the fruitgrowers to accomplish more
than ever.

A Sad Occurrence,

Missoula, April 13.-The death of
John w. Garrett in this city last week
was one of the saddest occurrences that
has been chronicled of late. Mr.. Gar
rett was we'll known and much liked
here. He was a native of Tennessee,
having been born at Nashville Aug. -.
1864. The following lines, written by
his wife, are published at her request,
as it was one of the last wishes of Mr.
Garrett that this be done:
''Oh, God my Father and Redeemer,
In all thy universe to-day
Is there another home so stricken,
Another heart too desolate to pray?
And yet I know that in thy tender
keeping
Thou will give thy beloved one sleep
Free from all this awful anguish,
Sorrowng eyes shall cease to weep.
o Father! in thy plenteous mercy
In that home where sorrow cannot go
Oh, receive my beautiful darling
With a soul as pure and white as
snow.
Oh! take him close into thy bosom
In the shadow of thy wing,
Where no storms or pain can enter
And where death hath lost its sting.
Mrs. Grace Garrett.

city at Maguire's Union opera house on
next Monday evening. Both plays have
been more widely discussed, both in
Europe and America, than any that
have been produced in many years, and
the announcement of their presenta-
ton by either of the above artists i'm
tickets.
Miss Thropp appeared in London at
the Duke of York's as Nora in "A Dolls
House over 900 times before visiting
America.
No sooner, however does a great
artist like Mr.. Mansfield or Miss
Thropp, by means of their striking in
dividuality, make great success of a
powerful play than dozens of people
spring up to claim the authorship of
such dramatic compositions. 1t is now
claimed that "Cyrano de Bergerac,'
who lived from 1919 to 1865. plagiarzed
"Cymbeline," Hamlet" and The Mer-
chant Of Venice" in his "Agrippa,' and
the public is also told that Rostand
plagiarized The, Merchant Prince of
Cornville' in his "Cyrano." Some one
has nov but recently discovered that
that master dramatst, Ibsen, had a
predecessor in his, theme Of Nora in his
wonderful play. "a Dolls House." and
that Ibsen copied some of the latter
drama from play called THE Ac-
tress'' that was produced at Stockholm
in 1872. Dramatists like Shakespeare
Ibsen, Sardou, however seem to hold
their regulations, Notwithstanding the
periodical claims of pretenders or So
called 'Baconian" theories.

FORTUNATE DISCOVERY.
Dynamite Found on the Track of the
Bitter Root Branch.

Missoula, April 1.-THE fact that the
Bitter Root branch train was not
blown to kingdom come this afternoon
is due to the fortunate discovery by a
casual passerby of two sticks of giant
powder placed on the rails in such a
manner that the engine would certain
ly have exploded them had they not
been found. One minute later the train,
which was already approaching, would
have been upon the deadly stuff and
there would have a fine smashup. The
powder is Hercules No and was
placed in way that would have made
an explosion certain. Officer Keim was
at once notified and the sticks of ex-
plosives were turned over to him. There
is no clue to the perpetrators of the
deed. 1t is suggested that it may have
been the work of mischievous boys. but
how boys could have obtained the dyna-
mite or how they would have known
how to place it is puzzler.

A Rare Old Violin.

Missoula, April AR. d. owens of
this city is the possessor of rare old
violin that has been pronounced by eX-
perts to be a genuine Nicolas Morlot
instrument. AS nearly as Mr.. Owens
can tell the violin is nearly $50 years
old. II was brought to this country by
Densmore, the New York violinist and
famous maker of violins, about 100
years ago. Mr.. Densmore played upon
it for nearly SO years. and after his
death it passed into the possession of
]. c. Dickinson of Michigan. He used
it for so years and, 20 years ago. after
it was released by the heirs, it came
into the possession of Mr.. Owens. Dur
ing the past two years or three years
Mr.. Owens has submitted the instru-
ment to the inspection of celebrated
violinists, and the opinion of each of
them has been that the violin is a
genuine MOrlot and that 1t is worth
several thousand dollars.
The violin has a rare tone, strong
and vibrant 1t shows the wear of
many years, but it is still in good con-
dition. Mr. Owens discourses interest
ingly upon its merits and upon the
peculiarities of its construction The
back bears the stamp of the maker,

ACROSS THE BIG DIVIDE
The Great Plant of the Montana
Power Company.
SENT TWENTY-ONE MILES
The Whole Line Is Carefully Gradsd-A
New Feature in Construction.
Chances OF a Breakdown
Reduced to Minimum.

,Missoula, April 14.--Thpre is consider
dam of the Montana Power company,
as Missoula capital has contributed
largely to the completion of the propo-
sition and as F. T. Sterling, the re-
ceiver for the company, who mas had
charge of the recent work, is well
known business man of this city. The
plant. which is now practically COM
pleted, is a splendid one in all respects.
The Christmas Standard contained
description of the dam of the company
and the following description Of the
power plant will be of interest to the
readers of this paper
The electric generators used for the
transmission of power from Big Hole to
Butte are of 1000 horse power capacity
each, and weight, assembled in posi-
don. 3; tons. They generate a three
i:.,.S" alternating current at a pressure
-, which, by means of step
mers, is raised to a pressure

--~ Butte Hit2re il is reduced by
T. zzErIte..e5NEI transformers, to a
...r NNal-s ~ = svU volts, and it is then
distributed at this pressure to the va
iiaus consumers in and about Butte.
the pole line is built of cedar poles,
from - to Is feet in length. The poles
re very heavy, nothing less than 10
inch top being accepted in the work
and they are set from five to eight feet
in the ground. depending on the nature
of the soil, and 10 feet apart The
cross arms are very thoroughly braCed
with angle iron braces. The line is
practically an air line, there being bat
three angles in the 81 miles. A new
feature in the construction Of this Inc
is that the whole line is carefully
graded. that is, the wire is as nearly
level as it is possible to make it.
Wherever the wire passes over deep
gullies or high points of ground, high
or short poles are used to make the
wire line level. Before the construction
was started the line was carefully sur
veyed and the dimensions of every pole
marked on blue print before the work
was actually started. The grading of
the pole line in this manner relieves
all strains on the wires and reduces the
chances of break down to a minimum.
1t also adds to the appearance and
makes very substantial piece of work
The wire used to transmit the cur
rent is No 2, bare copper. six wires
being used, three to each circuit. The
copper is designed to carry $500 horse
power, delivered in Butte. at loss of
only 10 per cent No. . wire is about
as big in diameter as an ordinary lead
pencil, but it is due TO the enormrus
pressure used that this size wire will
carry such a large quantity of power
at a nominal loss.
An Interesting fact in connection with
this transmission plant Is that the vat
er on the Atlantic slope is utilized and
by means of the electric current is
transmitted across the continental di-
vide and delivered on the Pacific SLOPE.

The scheme Abandoned,

Missoula, April 14.-Cobban and Dns-
more have abandoned their extensive
irrigation project and the dam and
bitches that they had planned will not
be built at present at least. Mr.. Cob
ban said to a reporter to-day:
The plan was perfectly feasible and
could have been carried out with proper
support. If we could have secured con-
tracts for irrieating 10000 acres in the
valley we would have completed the
work, but we have been able to get con-
tracts for but 500 acres and do not feel
that we can proceed further in the
matter"
