NO RACING THIS YEAR.
|BELIEF THAT NONE OF THE BIG
TRACKS, WILL OPEN FOR THE
SPORT.

Neither Butte nor Anaconda will AVE
horse racing on the association tracks
this year, but there will doubtless be some
sprinting on Colonel Hatch's circuit,
which lies about midway between the
city and the association track here. An
official announcement that no racing will
take place on the two association tracks
has not been made by Marcus Daily, who
owns the controlling interest in them, but
heretofore when a meeting was to be held
it was announced nearly a year in ad-
vance in order that hOrsemen in other
sections might make their arrangements
accordingly. A few days ago Billy Ran
dali was in the city. being on his way
from Great Falls to California, and while
here endeavored to ascertain something
of the plans of the association for the
coming season, but failed to discover
anything to indicate the inauguration of
a summer meeting. His home is at or
near Great Falls. He is the owner Of a
string of crack thoroughbreds which he is
now campaigning in California and call
culated to bring here in case of a meet
ing. Many other outside horselnen had
their eyes on the Montana circuit, but
when Mr.. Randall arrived in California
inc impaired to the ones there the in
formation that the tracks here would be
a blank a general regret was expressed
along the line.

BACK FROM THE ORIENT.
w. M. THORNTON OF ANACONDA
AT SAN FRANCISCO.

Among the guests at the Palace is W..
M. Thornton, a capitalist and mining
man of Anaconda, Mont, and ex-mayor
Of that place, who has just returned
from an extended trip through the
Orient, says the San Francisco Chronicle.
During a rather extended stay in the
Philippines Thornton paid quite a little
attention to the minera resources of the
islands although he was prevented from
inspecting mining properties on ac-
u of the unsettled conditions. From
what he could learn. however. he believes
that the islands will prove rich in min
eral wealth when American money and
American enterprise are given an oppor-
tunity to develop the country.
Thornton declares that he was an ex-
pansionist before he went to the Orient,
and is still more of an ex~pansionist since
he has had an opportunity to see the
cOuntry's new insular possessions and
study the possibilities of American trade
and under the new conditions
of affairs.

by litigation is scarcely felt.

few steps further and al your feet
are the markings of Kadashman-Tu r-

laid in the time of Ur-Gur centuries
before Abraham, the founder of the
Jewish nation, was born. Down, still

The Septuagint, written $50 b. c.,
places the creation of the world at
about $500; and with this in mind
it is difficult in the nineteenth century
TO gaze upon these evidences of mans
handiwork and realize that the work
men lived more than 1000 years ago.
And yet this is by no means the
strangest feature, for the records of
these workmen show that they lived
not within a comparatively few gener-
atoms of the beginning Of the world,
but that they were part of a civiliza-
ton as highly developed as that of
the Greeks; that men carried on the
business of life in manner and with
ambitions and desires not very diff
ferent from those Of our time, and
that, most remarkable of all, this
state of affairs had then been going on
for many thousands of years Evil
dence OF all this IS found stamped on

A circular recently sent out by the
Maine Board Of Health very usefully
summarizes the present state of
knowledge in regard to consumption.
Consumption. 1t is shown, is infecti-
Gus. 1t is not, strictly speaking, her
editary but is contracted from other
human beings or from the milk or
flesh of animals that have the disease
The tuberculosis of mankind and
animals-cows, for examples of the
same nature. The main source of in
lection is the eXpectoraton (sputum)
of human beings The sputum con-
tains thousands of disease germs, and
when one takes these into the mouth
they develop within the body-in the
lungs or stomach--and produce the
disease, So long as the sputum re-
mains moist it is not infectious, but
when it dries upon the floor, upon
carpets, handkerchiefs or clothing and
is scattered as a dust which floats in
the air, it is exceedingly dangerous
1t is breathed and infects the lungs.
The careless consumptive patient is a
focus of infection, especially to those
who occupy the same room with him
Consumption, in brief, is house
disease and may be guarded against
by ventilation. Pure air Is the de-
sideratum for living rooms, school
rooms and sleeping rooms There is
tendency to recovery in the early
stages of the disease. Cure is not
impossible under modern treatment.
A large percentage of cases, it is stated,
do recover. In any case there is no
reason for any one to think he is
doomed by heredity no matter what
his family history may be- The con-
sumptiye is urged to cough gently
with the mouth closed as much as
possible and never swallow the sput-
um, lest the disease be communicated
to the intestines. Living in the open
air is the best treatment. The expert
ence of consumptives during the civil
war showed this conclusively. The
consumptiye is urged to pass almost
the whole day in the open air
