'em in agin, she wuz smart woman
and very agreeable companion.
Maud, / noticed, had retired more
into the background, as 1t were; she
waited on the table with different
air, less as if she wuz the mistress Of
ceremonies, and more as If she wuz the
helper instead Of the giver of the feast.
Well, it wuz on the fifth day, as Al
eander and Fidelia and I wuz drivin'
along through the soft air in the luxu-
rious easy carriage, behind two pranein'
horses, real happy and contented, and
talkin' good naturedly, who should We
meet but two young folks on bicycles?
The young man wuz bendin' fondly
over the young woman, so engroSsed in
conversation that they didn't notice
our presence till we got almost up to
them. Then they looked up, and we
see that il was Elinor and Louis AT

stars beealmed in the June heavens.
They had made up, and Louis Arnold
looked handsome and happy and con-

Well, told Fidelia, the next day,
that as Josiah had got his business
done, l guessed wouldn't stay any
longer, and she bust right out a-cryin'
onto my shoulder (it wuz gray outin'
cloth, and knew that it would wash,
so didn't care.
And SEE she, my preserver, how can

And Elinor, who wuz in the room,
throwed herself onto my other shOul-

my shoulder blade (but agin the
thought calmed me that the colors
were fast.
See Elinor: "You have preserved my |
happiness; you have dragged me back
from the very Drinks Of ruin"
"And me tOor' sez Fidelia.
And l sez, gently, extricatin' myself |
from the four encirclin' arms: "Oh,

Josiah and l wus invited 10 Elinor's
weddin, which occurred New Years

skairt Louis most to death. His love

Flour From Potatoes.

Potato flour is much used in Austria,
where il is cheaper than wheat flour.
The natives Use it for all sorts of baking,
and it makes beautiful white bread and
cake. The method of making the flour
is to wash and peel the potatoes, and
then cut them up into small pieces.
These pieces are next crushed so that
the starch IS separated from the cells.
Water is freely added to carry away the
starch during the process. The pota-
toes are then dried and pulverized,
when the flour is ready for using.

FIGHT ON SENATOR CLARK.

To tell the story of the development
OF the Anaconda property is to tell the
story of the development Of Butte, of
the development of M~ontana-nay, even
more, it is to tell a portion of the eco
monte and political history of the coun-
try. for from it has grown Industrial de-
Velopment and corporate bankruptcies,
fierce state and local political contests,
and now the prospect of Il fight in the
United States senate over the seating
OF Senator William A. Clark, the rival
of DAILY. and one Of the few men who
had the courage to fight against the vast
power of aggregated capital represented
by the Standard Oil trust and it's repre-
sentatiVes in congres and out.
In these days one hears in Wall street
on every hand the expression that it is
a fortunate thing that none of Clark's
properties, or those of the Montana Ore
Purchasing company, are capitalized and
listed on the stock exchange or traded in
on 1.-The curb" Both Clark and A.. e.
HeinZe. the principal owner of the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing ompan own their
properties as Individuals, or as close cor
porations. They cannot be reached
through the methods of attack generally
credited to the Standard Oil interest.
and so aptly illustrated in the crash Of
the Globe National Bank of Boston, and
the sacrifice of the heavy holdings of
Boston & Montana stock by A.. S. Bigelow
and his associates.
Perhaps this explains in part the ruin
Gus litigation. involving the title of ev-
cry mining property in Montana, which
is now pending in state and federal courts
of the country from New York to San
Francisco. and an explanation may also
be found for the threat that is made
to unseat Senator Clark.

No REPORT or

One who has not seen the plant of the
Anaconda company can form but a small
idea of what it comprises or of it's army
of employees, it's banks. department stores
and the vast area of its operations. 1t is
i'll itself a commonwealth of no mean
proportion, and if placed on Manhattan
island would make a brave showing.
Since it came into the possession of
the Amalgamated Copper mpany the
Anaconda has pursued Stand
ard Oil and other trust methods. Such
corporations are disinclined to take the
public fully into their confidence, and
make no reports of the earnings and OPP
erations. They simply declare their divi-
dends, and who cares to ask questions
when dividends are paid?
Persons who are not altogether carr
ried away by the copper combination do
not hesitate to criticise severely the
action of the Anaconda in Withholding
this year it's annual report. These per-
sons say that the company could not
make as good a showing as in the previ-
Gus year, when its report was not as
favorable as in 1897, and it is reported
that, on the decision to withhold the
report, the Exploration Syndicate of
London simply refused to longer act as
the representative of the ompan in
the English capital.
On the other hand, there are persons
who see nothing in it but a shrewd move
by the insiders to depress Anaconda
stocks, for the purpose of shaking out
the trailers. These are the methods, they
hold, of great financierS: Why pay more
than the intrinsic worth for a property?
Why pay the intrinsic worth of it, if it
can be acquired for less? why shouldn't
these people buy at bargain-counter
prices? The only answer involves the
question as to whether a minority stock
holder has any rights that the majority
is bound to respect, and this involves a
question of ethics as to the simple hon
esty Of keeping a participating owner
IN a property i'm ignorance of its true
condition. Be the reason what it may,
the Anaconda company made no report
for the fiscal year ending Jun 80. 1899.
while the company mined more metal,
and that while copper commanded a
higher price in 1898 than in 1897, the
profits declined about $500, 000, and it
is believed in Butte that the showing
for 1899 would not be as favorable even
as that of 1898. However. that is only
a matter of conjecture, but currency
is given to the statement by the re-
ports from Butte that the Anaconda
mine is not run economically. and that
a great saving could be effected in the
reduction Of the ore.

IN SEARCH
Of LIBERTY

Finland IS about to lose many thou
sands of her inhabitants. Weary of Rus
sian oppression, they are preparing to
turn their backs upon the country of
their birth to find homes in the new world
that has sheltered the downtrodden and
the oppressed ever since that bleak No
vember day when the Pilgrim Fathers
first trod the shores of Massachusetts
bay. Already arrangements have been
made for 10, coo of these people to leave
Finland, afld this number will lettle

the same time thousands of others Will
sail for the United States and will settle

which they fought through centuries,

caused no end of nmen in every CIV
lllZed country Up to this time he had
given every indication of being a liberal
and conscientious sovereign. The fact
that such a man hould have been able
to break his oath so shortly after taking
1t mas been regarded as one of the strange
problems of psychology but a theory has
bc"n recently advanced that may be the
true explanation of the mystery. Ac-
cordlnE to this story. which is Vouched
tor III diplomatic circles, General KAN
apotkln, who is in control in Finland, in
formed the ear that he had discovered
a plot by which ii had been arranged that
IN the event of war between Russia and
Germany. the Fins were to take the
side of their co~-religionists in GERMANY.
and to provide 100, 900 men to fight against
Russia.
While there is absolutely no truth in
such a story the fact that the F'inlanders
are such strong Lutherans and have al
ready manifested such a preferences for
Germans over Russians. the latter having
been regarded as aliens in the grand
duchy, it is quite possible that the ear
may have been persuaded to accept this
charge, in which ease there might be some
slight excuse for his present tyrannical
policy in connection With the people of
Finland.
However that may be, the car seems
to be persuaded that he is acting for his
best interests and the result will certain-
ly be that the Finlanders will leave their
country to him. The poorer people will
leave at once and those who have prop
erty will depart as soon as they are able
to dispose of their holdings. Then in the
new world they will re-establish their
homes and enjoy the freedom that they
would be unable to obtain under a mill
itary despotism, such as Russia has now
formed.

this country will start within a few
weeks, and it has been arrange thai
this party shall go to Canada. The Fin
lander commissioners who came to Amer
lea to look over the ground a few months
ago finally succeeded in making arrange
ments for suitable concessions with the
Canadian government, more than 100, 900
acres OF choice agricultural lands having
been set apart for their use.
This land, which is located near AL
berta, near the farming regions west Of
Red Deer, is splendidly wooded and wa
tered, and is nearly all high, rolling
prairie, suitable for wheat raising, dairy
ing and mixed farming. While the COM
missioners. Messrs. Wincklemann, Zilli-
acuS and Barsotron, received warm well
come from the United States authorities
and finally accepted several tenders of
land. no proposition that they received
was as favorable to the colonists as the
offer that was made by the Canadian
government. AS the result the large col
ony will be planted in Canada. At
the same time about a dozen colonies will
spring up in the west with the result
that the population of America will be
increased by tens of thousands of liber-
~ loving, honest and religious people.
The case of Finland is one that appeals
with peculiar force to American sympa-
thies. Finland is Il litt.e nation, but
