an se.ue ol tie apr 5pfiation bills
sili probably be before the House Doi
later than The beginning Of the second
seek Of the session. Il need not he
surprising If most Of these measures
have been sent to the Senate before the
holidays. With the cioiure rules IN
force It will be eHtireiy feasible for the
House to dispose OF all these bills in two
OF three weeks aud thus clear the decks
FOR the eight Of ten large appropriation
bills that would remain to be disposed
! oi in January and the first hail Of Feb.
ruay.
One Of tie schemes which viii M
doubtedly be pushed 10 frnition in Con
gress this winter Is the ship subsidy
bill, which grants enormous bounties to
American built ships. The bill provides
that a man who builds a great and
| speedy ocean steamer shall be paid
bounties ii twenty years amounting TO
twice the whole cost Of the ship. The
bounty to be earned even by a slow
/ freight steamer with speed Of not less
than "a knots will amount every year
10 more than percent oi her cost when
pew. On the faster steamers like the
best belonging to the International
Navigation Company the bounty will
be rather more than 10 percent Of their
cost when new. II is admitted by the
advocates Of the bill that the bouuties
will be large enough 70 pay all the sal
aries and wages Of the officers and crews
who man the ships. The right under
this bill TO contract for twenty-ycar boun-
ty will expire at the end of ten years.
During ten years ship-owners will have
the privilege Of contracting to receive
bounties for twenty years from the date
Of the contract; but ships built after
the ten years have expired will receive
no bounty. The results will be that in
ten years every American snip will be
under the bounty contract for the full
expectancy OF its years OF usefulness
New ships without bounty can not com.
pete with the subsidized ships, and
therefore no new ships for foreign trade
will be contracted for after 1910. The
difficulty above referred to is inherent
in the bounty scheme and can not be
avoided, making it almost impossible 10
discontinue the system once ii has been
begun This is one reason why the
Republicans are SO anxious to have it
inaugnrated.

Al Caroline TgIanda Lerend.


The Caroline islands group Iincludes
besides coral islands five mountainous
islands of basaltic formation, beautiful
and fertile with rivers and springs.
Among the many queer legends Of
these children of the. Pacific there is
none mere highly Improbable than
their theory as to the oFigin of these is
lands and their Inhabitants. They
think they themselves were very strong
in the water In fact, they lived In it. +
The story goes that a woman and her
children were floating around on the
reef when a man appeared from the
west with a basket of soil on his shout
ders. He had started out to make an
island with a mountain on it. One Of
the children cried out to him, 4Give us
g little soil to make a place for our
mother to rest, for she is very weak
and cannot swim" He took out a
handful Of the earth and threw it
down, making an island. AS the man
was going on his way over the water
the son slyly made a hole in the bas-
ket,,s so as be proceeded on his way be
left trail of land behind. Suddenly
ne became conscious that the basket
seemed light. and, looking around, be
saw the land. In his anger he turned
about and trod upon 1t. and thus the. is
lands were formed.

The Imperial Light horse, who form

Dillon, Nav Q. 1900.

Dillon, May 9, 1900.
Arbor day at the State Normal school
in Dillon was celebrated with appro-
pirate exercises. The student body, with
their numerous friends and towns people,
gathered in the large assembly hall at 8
o'clock in the morning and listened to
n of the most entertaining and in
structive programmes of the season.
exercises opened by the reading of
the governors proclamation by Miss
Flora Davis. President Sanders then de-
livered one of his inspiring addresses on
the history of the day, and also showed
the use to be made of it by the teachers
of our public schools to infuse patriot
ism n principles of welfare for our
future into the youth of the land. Pro-
fessor Monroe made a unique talk on
the forests of the country and the SAM
tary effect of planting numerous trees
in all our villages. A number of the
students rendered songs, recitations and
readings. A patriotic ode, set to music
by Professor Pasmore, was sung, and
the exercises in the building closed by
all voices joining in America" Ad-
journment was then made to the cam
pus, where a number of trees were set,
and flower seeds planted along the
walks. The campus is large and well
set with trees and though but three years
old the numerous walks and lawns,
shaded by the growing naples, are an
inspiration to all. The state has here
planted an institution of learning which
will spread its sheltering branches to the
remOtest parts of the commonwealth: it
will be looked up to and sought by gen.
erations yet to come. and, like the
friendly tree of the forest the more aged
the more revered.

Missoula, May 10, 1900.
Last night the Knights of Pythias
lodge of Missoula met in their hall. and
after their regular weekly meeting gave
a banquet, and a jolly time was expe-
rienced by all. Supper was served on
long banquet tables, seating about 40
members, including invited guests.
Judge John NJ. Evans. a prominent
attorney of this city, acted as toast
master. After a few remarks he intro
duced Judge J. l.. Sloan clerk of the
county court. The judge arose amidst
the applause of all, and in a we'll pre-
pared address to the visiting members
he then directed further remark to the
president of the Game Cock union of
Missoula, which was well represented.
Captain Frank G. Higgins answered in
an address as follows:
"Mr Toastmaster and Gentlemen of
This Noble Order: l must confess that
I was taken completely by surprise in
the beginning of Judge sloan's remarks
on a subject I know nothing about. But
at a glance around the table 1 can see
a great many who do know something
about cock fighting, and / known that if
at any time we failed to have a quorum
at a meeting of our union. and your
noble order was in session. we would
know where to go to find the missing
members. Great applause)
But, gentlemen, seriously speaking.
cock fighting has it's charms, and every
time we have a main here our ~organiza-
ton is not devoid of church members, as
you will invariably find that our Metho-
dist ministers will have chicken pie for
inner the following day" Much laugh
ter and a~pplause.)
Captain Higgins mad a few further re-
marks much to the amusement of the
crowd.
The Inter Mountain representative was
hen called upon by the toast master and
in answer thanked the assemblage for
the consideration shown to his paper in
the city of Missoula, and especially the
members of the local order of knights of
Pythias.
VI The POSTMASTER then called on Post
master Keep to tell as a new member how
he liked the order as far as he had gone.
He expressed himself as being highly
pleased with his experience, and after a
few brief remark he yielded the floor to
Toastmaster Judge Evans, who spoke in
glowing terms of the departing brothers
from Butte, especially thanking Mr.. I.
Schilling for the benefits he has done for
the order in the state of Montana.
The visiting from Butte were:
Mr.. S. Schilling, 7. B. Murray, Max Gold
stein, Oliver West, M. Cohan and A.. Trell.
All of the gentlemen are on their way to
Cape Nome and will stop in Seattle for a
