STOUT OAK CASKS.
May Determine the Direction of the
Arctic Currents.

Arctic Currents.
A British geographical society Is
about to make a departure in inVesu-
eating the poles. Some years ago Cap
tain George Melnoote, the: famous ex-
plorer. was wrecked on an ice hoe
somewhere in the Arctic sea. His ship
fell to pieces under the pounding OF
the pillows, but he and the crew es-
capped in boat. The fragments OF MS
craft were never found, yet on pulllnS
away a strong current toward the pore
was encountered. This set the ex-
plorer to thinking. II the pieces OF MS
ship were carried off into the unknown
seas, why might human agencies not!
So far the only reason for sending
out expeditions northward has been
mainly for the purpose OF observing
daily record of events, such as latl-
tude, longitude, soundings, daily drlft'
finding the Arctic oceans bottom Where
possible, and so forth, with the pos
sibility of discovering the north pole.
A far-seeing geographer asks: why
undergo this human risk when it can
! be obviated with the use of oak casks!,
1t is never too late to adopt good
idea, and so, acting on the suggestion,
the society in question is about to set
a1oat 100 specially made casks on Arc
tic waters. These casks are to be made
| on the principle of spindle, conical
shaped at each end, Of 20 gallons ca
| pacity, and iron hooped. They are to
be set af1oat in Behring Strait, and 1t
| is thought that at the end of four or
| five years they may be expected to turn
| up at Spitzbergen and Greenland, dur
| ing which period they will have trav-
eled around the pole. Should present
| geographical deductions be correct,
these casks may demonstrate the ex-
| istence of a current far enough north
| and west to meet the polar drifts
which run southwark along the east
coast of Greenland whence it turns
| to the westward, thence to the south
ward, where, as part of the Labrador
pack, it eventually finds its way into
route in the Arctic regions on any
good map of the world.
So far as regards the stability of the
casks to stand the great strain they
are sure to be subjected to on their
novel voyage, they will be made of
| heavy oak slaves one and quarter
| inches thick, bound around with heavy
iron hoops three-sixteenths of an incn
thick and two inches wide Coated
with a. solution of pitch and resin, the
casks will be almost corrosive proof
They are to be placed on the heavy
foe pieces that they may drift with
the ice. Each cask is to contain a
number of records printed in the prin-
cipal languages of the world, these
requesting the finder of any one cask
to preserve the latter, but to send the
records ITO the photographic office of his
own country, such office in turn to send
to all other important countries the
other records found within the cask
stating the latitude and longitude where
found.

Reservation Tax Case.

Missoula, May 21.-Hon. H. c. Stiff
will appear with County Attorney
Denny before Judge Knowles at Hell
ena tomorrow to argue the reservation
tax cases. The county has numerous
affidavits regarding the residents of the
reservation who are seeking to evade
the payment of taxes, the affidavits
showing that the men in question, most
Of them half-breeds, are not entitled to
be classed as government trusts on this
reservation The outcome of the case
will be watched with interest here, as
upon it depends the payment of taxes
Of considerable amount. The county is
obliged to afford these people the pro-
lection of law, and the county officers
feel that it is no more than just that
they should pay their taxes.

Want a Sunday Train,

Missoula, May 1.-All that the Bitter
Root people want now is Sunday
train on the branch. Then they will
be perfectly happy. They urge that the
business Of the branch is sufficient to
justify train every day and they feel
that they would be much better off if
they could get their mail on Sunday.
The business men say that the addition
of a Sunday service would greatly ben
eft them and they are confident that it
would bring many Sunday visitors to
the valley. This claim has been made
ever since the Sunday service was dis
continued and it is hoped that the rail-
way company will take the matter I'M
der consideration

Benefit for Mrs. whitaker.

Missoula, May 21.-The friends of
Mrs Whitaker, professor of music at
the university, will be pleased to know
that she is to receive benefit perform
ance Monday night. Mrs. Whitaker has
done so much for the music loving peo-
Pile of the city and has always given her
own services so willingly to any worthy
performance that she certainly de-
serves this evidence of appreciation.
Herself a musician of rare ability, she
has added much to the musical circles
of the city. The performance at the
Union opera house Monday night de-
serves liberal patronage. Dr. Heritage
of Spokane will sing and all of the best
local talent will take part.

A BIG BUSINESS.
Jere Collins Is Buying Timber in West
ern Missoula County.

ern Missoula County.
Missoula, May 21.-Jare collins. eCltcr
of the Helena 1n1eparGe 1T, IS doing a
land office business in timber laEds
these days. Mr.. Collins is getting hold
of script, principally soldiers addl-
tional homestead, and with it is getting
hold of timber in the western part OF
the county. He has paid some fancy
prices to squatters in the lower valley
for their rights and has then applied
the script to the land. There is new
script now in the market called the
forest reserve script. This is issued to
squatters and settlers who had located
within the boundaries of the new forest
reserves and is similar in nature to the
soldiers script. 1t was not generally
known that this script was in existence
till some of it was sold, presumably to
Mr.. Collins, Saturday in this city. 1t
is supposed that the frequent trips of
Mr.. Collins to Missoula have been made
in this connection and last week there
was filed with the county clerk deed
of section land on Nine Mile to w.
A. Clark of Butte.

Missoula, May 2L-Almanac students
and the disciples of Professor Hicks
unite in the prediction that the present
disagreeable weather will continue for
the rest of this month. They are sup
ported in their position by the men who
study the location of the moon, though
the latter have not been able to see
much of that sluminary for several
weeks. While the weather has been
somewhat warmer in Western Montana
for several days, 1T has been decidedly
wet Farmers say that it is good for
their hay and grain and the tree men
say that it will help them, so there are
a few who are notlhissatisied with the
prevailing conditions, even if they are
not altogether pleasant.

Cheering News.

Missoula, May 21-The recent assur-
ance given by Senator Carter that Fort
Missoula will have cavalry garrison
very soon is cheering news. The de-
partment will find that the cavalry can
be maintained at Fort Missoula cheaper
than at any other western post. There
is an abundant supply of forage near at
hand and the history of the fort as en-
infantry post has been that the men
can be supported as cheaply here as
anywhere in the West 1t is predicted
by those who ought to know that it will
not be long before the fort will be garri-
soned by full cavalry regiment, as the
situation is so favorable for all pur-
poses

The Americanism of The Tribune was
clearly demonstrated in the support
which it gave the national administra-
ton during the war with Spain and the
annexation of Hawaii. Its broad views
and its labor for the advancement of
every American interest are among the
marked characteristics of that paper,
and have won for it the respect of men
of all parties. To the honor of The Iri-
bune, be it said, no man is less use
full or influential in his own town or
county because he reads that newspaper.
On the other hand, he is likely to be a
patriotic and well.informed man. One
tf the most noteworthy features of The
Tribune is the space devoted to women,
and to receipts, fashions, women's ways
and the sentiments which should rule
the home. The Weekly Tribune remains,
as for two generations past, one of the
best general newspapers of its class in
the United States The improvements
made during the past year in The Send
Weekly Tribune. however, are remark
able. Its illustrated supplement, which
is sent with each Fridays issue, has
proved especially attractive. We would
call the readers attention to the pros
pectus which appears in another column.
