Robert Pidgens of Company L, First
Montana, died at the Soldiers Home on
Monday of Brights disease. He was Al
years of age and came here from Helena.
A party of gentlemen in high boots OF
the shade affected by remittance boys
sojourning in the west, SLOUGH hats with
generous brims and khaki suits entered
town Wednesday. Some people took
them for Irish Lords" but inquiry re-
vealed the fact that they were in the
employ of the land department of the
interior, inspecting recent surveys of
public lands.
One of the prettiest sights in the val
Icy, and one we'll worth taking the time
to see, is the garden of Freeman Wedge
about mile west of town. 1t shows
what industry, if intelligently applied,
can do on Flathead soil. The regularity
and uniformity of the rows and the alb
sence of weeds as we'll as the luxuriant
growth of the different vegetables at
once arrests the attention of the OBJ
server. No better showing for the pos
sibilities of the country in this branch Of
agriculture can be made.
Capt. F. E. Green, Lieut.. A. w. Swa-
ney, Sergt. A. G. Lagoni and A. J. In
graham, all members of Company H,
First Montana volunteers, were in town
Tuesday visiting their comrades.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben G. Ramoy of Havre,
we're in town Wednesday. They are
friends of w. F. Riddell of the east side.
7. E. Butler, business manager of the
Bee, was in town Wednesday and Thurs
day in the interests of his paper. Mr..
Butler says he has heard only good
things of the Bee on every side, and
wishes to assure the people that no effort
will be spared to give them an up date,
wide awake newspaper.
Fred Whiteside was in town Tuesday
on his return from trip to the Melon
aid lake country.
Some inconvenience has been exper-
fenced by the patrons of the water system
as a result of the many improvements
being made at present, which necessi-
tate the shutting off of the water, but
this will soon be over at the present rate
of progress.

JUDGE DUBOsE AT NOME.
The Situation There Sized Up by u Close
Observer.

Observer.
just prior to his departure for Cape
Nome Judge Dubose promised to write
the River Press his impressions of Alaska
as soon as he became sufficiently familiar
with the conditions to form an intelligent
opinion. A letter dated at Nome. July
3, gives his observations as follows:
II have been here since June II, and
like all men who enter into the pioneer
business, | am agreeably surprised in
some respects and disappointed in others.
This is not the bleak and uninviting
coast that we have read about. The
weather has been ideal since my arrival
with the exception that it has not rained
much and the street 1--WE have but one)
is too dusty. The tundra is not as bad
as it is painted. had the impression,
from what l had read, that the tundra
was as bad as the Dismal Swamp, when
in reality the ground is not so soft as to
prevent travel over it. During rainy
weather the tundra is about like muddy
roads in the southern states in winter.
"A man can get anything he desires to
eat here, if he has the price. Notwith-
standing there are great many furnished
rooms, bunk houses and restaurants
there is not up to the present time a
single hotel in this camp of 10000 people.
1.-THE only thing I have been really
disappointed in is the fact that at this
time there are only four creeks on which
the mines are paying and they all rise in
one mountain. The balance of the coun-
try is absolutely undeveloped in any
respect whatsoever. All the country is
staked for miles and miles around, and
most of the claims have been staked a
dozen times. There will be plenty of
litigation provided the claims become
valuable. In about thirty days we will
have great boom here-or else we will
be returning home like the Beers, know
ing full well that we made a good fight
but recognizing the fact that we have
run up against the real thing.
1.-The military have charge of the town
now, and it is as orderly as any place
you ever saw. A few men were killed
before General Randall arrived and took
charge, but all lawless characters arc
now being held in check under the mill
tary regime.

A special from Missoula to the Butte
Miner says: A hearing has been in pro-
gress at the Flathead Indian agency for
the past few days before Inspector Beede,
sitting as special agent to the Indian
commissioner at Washington, regarding
the ownership of some thing like 5000
head of cayuses now ranging on the re-
servation,
Last May Alexander Dow, post trader
at Arlee, through his agent, Chic" White
of Missoula, entered into written agree
ment with Alicott, Nez Perces Indian
living on the reservation, for the pur-
chase and delivery of all the horses be-
longing to Alicott and three other In
dams. About ], 400 horses were deliver
cd and paid for when the Indians learned
that the White men were getting an ad-
vance of a dollar head on the contract
price, and they refused to furnish any
more horses unless they were paid the
the extra dollar, claiming it belonged to
them and not to the horse buyers. Mr..
Dow attempted to round up the remain
der OF the horses but was promised trans
portation to the happy hunting grounds
if he did, so he desisted. The Indians
claim 900 horses was to be the extent
of the sale.

quarters at Chattanooga. Faithful
performance of duty in this place led
to his being placed as secretary or
the territory of Montana, where, in the
i~nterregnum which ensued on the re-
tirement of Gov. Edgerton, he was for
a considerable period the acting chief
executive.
Here he began preparations to raise
troops to fight the Indians who were
at that time harassing the inhabitants
of Fort Benton on the upper Missouri,
and for this purpose travelled to the
latter place to oversee the arrival of
arms and munitions. After a thirty
hours ride on horseback he reached
Fort Benton, July 1, 1867, exhausted
and almost overcome by the heat. He
retired to his stateroom on the G.. A.
Thompson, anchored in the river, and
wrote several letters, after which it is
supposed he sought the decks. A mis-
step in the dark? A defective guard?
Who can say what happened? There
was a sudden cry for help, a splash, a
valiant struggle for life, rendered
hopeless by the rapid current, and in
tense darkness, futile attempts at res
cue and the body of Ireland's cham
pion. Americas gallant soldier, having
made its last fight for life, and known
defeat for the last time, went out with
the tide.

AMERICANS AT MONTE CARLO.
Girls Were Somewhat Criticised for
Going About Alone.

Girls Were Somewhat Criticised for
Going About Alone.
THE first Americans have arrived
writes a resident at Monte Carlo to
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
1T is expected that an unusually large
number of them will visit the Riviera
this winter. The hotels have made
every preparation for the hoped-for
guests. In the meanwhile the Rus
slams, Austrians and especially the
Germans, are arriving in number every
day now and they will insure a fairly
successful season. During the last
week of December a party of young
American ladies arrived. They we're
ch~aperSned by a somewhat elderly
lady, and, having disembarked at
Genoa, came here to pass their Christ
mas. They attracted much attention.
Some persons thought them overbold
to go about thus without male attend
ants, but admired them for having the
courage to do so-all the more as the
young women paid no attention to peo-
pie about them. The party has left
for Milan, Florence, Rome and Naples
and will be in Paris in March. The
impression is general that one cannot
live cheaply in Monte Carlo. This is
a mistake. There are hotels, well fur
nished and well kept, where a person
may live en- pension for $3.50 a day.
The cuisine is good, the wines also,
and the hotels are comfortable. 1 may
add that several of these cheaper hotels
have an outlook over the Monaco bay
and the Mediterranean. Curiously
enough, there are no hotels in Mo-
naco proper mean the rock upon
which stands the palace of the prince.
The position is admirable and a large
hotel in Monaco would be a great sue
cess undoubtedly, but the trouble is
the prince would not consent to having
a hotel upon the rock. In all the prin-
cipality the will of the prince is para
mount and even the making of alter
atoms in any building o the erection
of a new building depends upon the
consent of his serene highness."

According to the Irrigation Age, the
waters of the. Great Salt Lake in Utah
have receded a mile in the past year,
and some persons think that within
the coming century this wonderful
body of water may be completely dried
up. The of the lowering of the
water is ascribed to the rapid extension
of irrigation bitches, which draw their
supply from the streams emptying into
the lake. There is now a salt DESERT
not far from the lake, which was once
covered with water. The salt deposit
on the floor of the lake itself is be-
lieved to be of great thickness.

That the laying of a cable to Manila
will prove to be good business" be-
sides facilitating the sending of army
news, is shown by the strenuous oppo-
sition recently made to it before the
senate committee on by a
representative of a British telegraph
company, which claimed to possess
concessions from Spain giving it ex-
elusive landing rights in the Philip
pines until 1918. OF course there is lit
tie hope of the concessions now stand
ing, in view of the complete transfer of
the Philippines to the United States,
but 1t Is interesting to note that shrewd
capitalists see possible dividends in a
Philippine cable.

First Row In Paradise.

A Russian correspondent sends us
details of a very interesting and anus
ing tale told by a Russian veterinary
surgeon who was sent into the Ural
district to buy horses and hay for the
peasants of the ADMINISTRATOR prov
inces. He had to do mostly with the
natives (kirghis), who are half-savage,
but who, nevertheless, were found to
be extremely honest and absolutely
trustworthy in all buying and selling,
some of them even offering to give
horses for the starving peasants. Quite
a different story has the surgeon to tell
of the Ural Cossacks, who did their
level best to cheat him in the most
barefaced manner, and on whom no
reliance was to be placed. And yet
these Cossacks are very religious and
sc simple in certain respects that a
swindler succeeded in selling them
quite a number of tickets for-para-
disc. The veterinary surgeon saw sew
eral of these tickets, which were
marked First rows" and sold for rs
rubles, back seats bringing consid-
erably less.-Commercial intelligence.

The Blood Red Rannar.

Royal and national colors vary with
nations and times, but since Cain slew
Abel blood-red has been the sign Of
revolt. In the earliest revolt known
to history, when the Persians rose
against their king 1000 years ago, they
were led by a blood-red banner, and
during the riots which took place in
Paris the men in the ~blood-red caps
were followed by the mob. A blood
red flag waved over Bunker hill when
the Americans fought for liberty,
and it was the emblem of the German
peasants in their great uprisings in
1924, 1892 and 1925. Blood-red was
the color of the trade union flags dur
ing the middle ages, and it formed the
background of the emblem Of the Swiss
co~nfederacy in 1916.
