Producing Sheath and Flare

To be entirely CONNIE il faut the fall
skirt must be almost binding in is
sheath effect as far as the knees and then
flare out very suddenly around the bot

are necessary, but then these soft stuffs
will not stand out around the bottom as
desired. This vexed problem THAI has been

A Bouquet for San Francisco.

Montana people should be especially
grateful to the citizens of San Fran
cisco for the cordially and enthusiasm
with which the returning Montana reg
iment was received in that city, says
the Boulder Age. The returning United
States volunteers, the embarkation Of
regulars and the presence Of several
regiments in the city waiting to be
mustered out have continually during
the past few months Invested from the
sight Of marching soldiers all element
of novelty. so that the crowding CT
streets by cordial and cheering throrgs,
the immense work of furnishing food
and delicacies and flowers to the Mon
tana regiment, the care taken and the
boats furnished to Montana's governor
and reception committee have all come
from a love for Montana on the part
of San Francisco and California and
through genuine patriotism. For this
they certainly have the sincere thanks
Of Montana people and a substantial
recognition of this feeling and formal
vote of thanks should be extended to
those warm hearted and loyal citizens
of the coast.

An Autumn Model,

Early autumn models show us the two
piece suit as the correct wear In spite
of all the talk about the princess dress, 1t
never became thoroughly accsimated on
this side of the sea, and is reserved as
garment for afternoon or evening dress.
The Jacket and skirt model is that for
walking, travelling, visiting or for most
outdoor occasions. The skirt has prob
ably tunic fronts, even If they do not ex-
tend quite to the back. The skirt has a
noticeab BILE dip in the middle of the back.
The favorite trimming is an arrangement
of bands of the same material used in
stead of braiding. The jacket is short in
front, whatever it may be in the back. 1t
may have an ornament of bands. or have
the edges simply hemstitched with ma
chine silk of the same color. The stitch
ing runs up on the revers which are
broad and sometimes even heart-shaped

Politics and the Schools.

There is undoubtedly a great deal of
merit in what State Superintendent
Carleton has to say about politics in
the schools, says the Fergus County
Argus Politics should be eliminated
as much as possible in their control
from top to bottom. However, if there
is any man who should feel grateful to
politics for his position it is Professor
Carleton-grateful for getting his posi-
ton and grateful for holding it. 1t is
a wel-known fact that the professor
was saved a deep humiliation, if not
his official position, through political
influence when he attempted to collect
and appropriate his typewriter's salary
a year or so ago.

1t is doubtful whether there is a val
ley in the state where all the conditions
are more faVorabl to horticultural pur-
suits than nature has placed at the dis
posal of man in the charmingly situated
and exceedingly fertile valley of the
Clarke Fork of the Yellowstone, says
the Red Lodge Picket, All up and
down this majestic stream the land and
the location and the climate are as ad-
mirably adapted to the raising of fruit
as they are to the growing of grain and
grasses. Though horticulture here is
yet in its earliest infancy, many young
orchards give great promise, and it re-
quireS not the gift of necromancy for
one to be able to predict to a certainty
that the time is not far distant when
the Clarke Fork will be as famous for
its production of apples and smaller
fruits as is the smiling valley of the

President Meade.

The national irrigation congress at
Mssoula, just adjourned, did some ex-
cellent work toward preparing to solve
this most important problem. not least
of which was the election of Elwood
Mead, state engineer of Wyoming, as
president, says the Helena Herald
Mr.. Mead has had experience as an
irrigation engineer in Colorado and
Wyoming, two states having the most
advanced laws on the subjct; and with
a comprehensive knowledge Of the vast
problem before us, he has entered body
and soul into its solution, which he has
genius and application to accomplish
as we'll as the magnetism or force to
make the people and authorities reduce
his solution to practice.

Clark's Refusal to Answer.

w. A. Clark does not seem so
anxious as he pretended to be some time
ago to have the methods by which he
secured his election to the United States
senate investigated, says the Big Tim
Der Express. In fact, he refuses to an
swer almost every question which, If
answered, would convict him of the
methods of electioneering charged by
his enemies. Mr.. Clark and others who
figured with him in the late senatorial
contest do not give a very convincing
impression of their innocence of the
charges made against them by their
refusal to answer questions about mat
ters which, if honest and legitimate,
would be in no wise discreditable.

Will see more ore shipped than for
many years. Immense business pro-

now in course of completion. Some ex

Aztec mine at Summitville in Rio
Grande county, to tap the ore body at
a depth of 1000 feet from the surface.
In the early history of this mine some
shipments were made which yielded
from $4,000 to $4,000 to the car and it
is believed that by the new develop
ment the richer values will again be
reached The tunnel, when completed,
will be $500 feet in length.
The winze of the Princess Maud at
Republic is being sunk through contin-
uous ore, the ledge being a little over
four feet wide and assaying, it is said,

sufficient ore from the Princess Maud
to pay for all the machinery needed.

smelters will be glad to get such pure
silica as the Princess Maud affords.
Silver Movement for Eight Months.
The movement of silver continues to be
on a large scale. and thus far in the year
the increase in the shipments has been
very fair. Considering the somewhat
lower prices this year, the actual quantity
of silver showing in the reports was pro-
badly considerably greater than in 1898.
The following table shows the movement
of silver in Great Britain for the eight
months ending Aug. 81. The reports are
in values, not quantities, and the figures
are from the board of trade returns. Very
nearly all of the silver reported was
bought and sold in the London market.
The increase in the shipments, it will be
seen, was E249,246, or 26 per cent. while
that in receipts was 9211, 4A0, or "a per

The Grain Crop.

The weather for the past three weeks
could not have been better for saving
the grain crop of the valley, and most
of it is going into stack and to the
threshers in excellent condition, says
the Kalispell InterLake. At the same
time it is unfortunately true that much
of the earlier cut grain was hurried
into stack too damp, and some of it
has been nearly ruined. If it could only
have been foreseen that the weather
would be as it has scarcely a bushel
of grain would have been lost, but
frightened by the rains in the early
part of the month, nearly every one
whose grain was in condition to cut
hurried operations and stacked. Just
what proportion has been injured will
not be known until the threshing has

The Bitter Root Is Prosperous.

The attention of farmers is now alb
sorbed with gathering the results OF
their summers toll, and all in all
their labors in the Bitter Root have
never been more remunerauVe than
during the present year, says the Bit
ter Root Times. Very few of them
are dependent on fruit for livelihood
and the partial failure of the apple
crop does not materially effect them.
All vegetables are yielding abundantly
and finding a ready market. The
month of September has more than
made amends for the cold wet spring,
in warm, clear days, which have been
very favorable to the full development
of all grains and vegetables. Threshing
machines are rushed with jobs In every

Loose Gloves,

In olden times women were quite fussy
as to the size Of their gloves, and often
foolishly forced their fingers into gloves
quite too tight for them, they could
maintain the boast of wearing a No. 3,
says an exchange. 1t mattered not to
them that when they removed the glove
their hands were marked with lines
where the seam stitching hal printed it's
pattern into the soft flesh, or whether or
not they could button the TOP clasp or
button. This nonsense is now gradually
dying ont. 1t is acknowledged that Il
hand does not look well in a glove too
small for it. Tight gloves spoil the ap-
pearance of a hand, and for this reason
quite as much as for GOODNESS, the women
of fashion have been wearing loose gloves
this summer These long gauntlets arc
really loose and can be drawn off without
pausing to unfasten the clasps. That is
the test of fashionable glove just now.
1t can be pulled off if not actually drawn
on like a mousquetaire.
This does not mean that we are to wear
gloves with fingers too long for us, with
ends Tapping. The fingers need not be
long. but should be easy fitting. A pretty
hand has something to lose by undue
compression, just as we made the like
discovery as to a pretty foot after read
ing '"Trilby." So now it has come to pass
that we may be cofortable as well as
fashionable in the matter Of gloves.

Major E. H. Becker, says the Helena
independent proprietor of the Billings
Gazette and Republican, two newspa-
pers of opposing purpose at this writ
ing, declares with positiveness in the
Republican, which he controls. that the
gold republicans will not now propose
to form an unholy alliance with the
men who deserted these principles
He adds that men like Mr.. Knippen-
berg can be counted in sufficient num-
bers next year in Montana to prevent
the election of any man who, as re-
publican, deserted this party in the last
national contest and voted for Bryan.
If the republican party in this state
hopes to succeed it must steer clear Of
breakers, which it will certainly en-
counter if it takes up men who were
false to the principles of the party in
the past" All, Major Becker, we fear

Trout Fishing Season.

The fishing season is now at it's very
best and it is nothing to see all kinds of
fishermen come in from any old direc-
ton with basket or two full of trout,
says the Libby News. 1t has become
such a common thing to see these long
strings that they no longer excite COM
ment. Last Sunday, for instance, seve-
raj parties returned from the Libby
creek fishing grounds, and all of them
had so many fish that they could not
get them in their baskets and the over
flow had to be brought in on strings.
All the hotels and restaurants serve
trout, and it becomes such a common
thing to see it on the bill of fare that
it has long ago ceased to be luxury.
Not because they are not just as good
as they ever were, but because they are
served so often and so plentifuly. In
this connection it Is safe to assume that
the Libby district has some or the most
expert fishermen to be found anywhere
in the state 1t would be too long to
go down the entire line, but almost ev-
cry lover of the sport in Montana has
heard of Uncle Harry Paulinier, who is
now 81 years of age and yet who thinks
nothing of going out all day and wading
down any of the mountain streams,
taking a keen delight in Turing the lit
tie speckled beauties from their hiding
places among the rocks.

According to an old adage, Coming
events cast their shadows before" Cast
athwart the political sky of Montana
even the most casual observer cannot
help seeing at this time a large, lower
ing, funnel-shaped shadow, says the
Hamilton News. This cloud will burst
in all its fury at next years republican
state convention. Pandemonium will
reign there, and as pretty struggle for
supremacy as ever was witnessed will
hold the boards. The fight will be be-
tween the Organized" republicans, who
supported the democratic standard
bearer in SO, and W no now, under the
leadership of Mantle and others. are
trying to break into the republican fold
again with the purpose of controlling
the party, on the one side and the gal
vanized or stalwart republicans who
stood by Mckinley in the last cam
paign, on the other. Despite the con-
slant efforts of Oleaginous Thomas
Henry Carter and his contingent, that
have been Carterized by the land Offices
postoffices and other spoils of the last
campaign, the "Bryanzed' and gall
vanized kinds of republicans won't
blend harmoniously. The plan to weld
the discordant wings together by the
nomination of Mantle for governor
meets with bitterest opposition from the
old guard. Sanders. Goddard, knip-
penberg and ten thousand others pro-
pose to handle the reins in future. and
their fell intention is to henceforth and
forever keep the traitors in the back
ground. But those shifty and ambi-
tious fellows who can with the incest
show of alacrity turn their political
coats at the dawn of each campaign,
and who numerically have considerable
strength, don't accede kindly to the
proposed chastisement. With brazen
effrontery they are determined to again
steer the ship that they deserted like
rats in SO.
Cold Water for the kessler Boom.
The gubernatorial boom of Harry c.
Kessler the returning chief of the LIST
Montana regiment has been formally
launched, and the day on which he set
foot on land his friends commence the
yelling, says the Whitehall Zephyr.
There is not question that Montana
people are inclined to do all honor to
their soldiers. Whether they will feel
that the mere fact that a politician
went to war and served his country as
colonel constitutes a claim upon the
best Office in the state can hardly be
conjectured. If the theory that Colonel
kessler should have the office for the
sole reason that he went to war is cor
rect. then it will not do to slight the
other brave boys, though they did not
wear colonel's epaulet or draw the
salary If we are going to take this
war business into the politics of the
state, we suggest that the list Mon
tana regiment choose the man for the
office. The boys will probably know as
much about who deserve honors as the
stay-at home managers of campaigns.
In that way matters may be simplifed
and the political movement be
started off right. 1t might be that the
members of the LIST Montana could pick
out some man equally able and deserv-
ing as Colonel kesSler.
