"The amounts shown in the right
hand column represent what Mr..
Amin received in cash for his produce.
The Northern Pacific railway and the
Northern Pacific Express companies
received benefits in handling the pro-
duce to the consumers.
"This is only n of a great many
instances, and there is room in the
Montana for more such settlers.
"There is a station on the Northern
Pacific railway in Montana called
Plains, which would indicate that this
is not a good place for produce, yet
some of the best apples to be had are
raised there. I do not think finer bak-
ing or cooking apples could be found
anywhere. I also had splendid large,
fresh strawberries from Plains, Mont,
on my table as late as the latter part
of September.
There is one ranch in Montana
that IN the coures of a couple of years
will furnish us not less than 100, 900
boxes of apples.
"We have handled twice as many
apples this year as we did last year,
principally from Washington and Ida
no, being largely from local points on
the line of the Northern Pacific rail
way.
"There is also forwarded from
points near Plains, Mont, this season
more than n hundred car loads Of
horses. for sale at South st. Paul and
other points. The war in Africa
caused a great shortage of horses in
the east, and large shipments from the
west during the present year.

WHAT DOES.
Why the Railroads in the State Are
Prosperous.

Everybody is cognizant of the fact
that the income which the railroads
derive from Montana traffic is one Of
the factors that enter largely into the
calculations of the different companies
operating in the state, but few persons
ever give thought to the amount con-
tributed to that income by the earn
ings from way freight. In regarding
the business of the roads thought is
given to the men who forward herds
of cattle and other livestock to the
eastern markets and to the mining
companies with their immense move
ments of machinery and ore. That
they are not the only N who enable
the roads to report the big earnings
they do may be seen from the follow
ing taken from an interview with Gen
eral Freight Agent Moore Of the
Northern Pacific, which appeared in
the Pioneer Press recently. Mr.. Moore
told why the business of his road
keeps up and incidentally also told Of
the possibilities of Montana which are
not generally understood. E.e said:
II will give you an example, to in
dictate what causes increased freight
earnings. Mr.. Amin, a ranchman
near Columbus, Mont, plowed up six
acres of what is commonly called Mon
tana waste or desert land last year,
and supplied it with water. This is
what he raised on the six acres and
marketed along the Northern Pacific
railway:

REFUSED GRAVE TO SUICIDE.

Crisfield, Md, Nov. 9.-The hody of
Robert Alexander of Tangier Island,
who on Sunday last committed suicide,
was inferred here yesterday, after his
friends had almost abandoned hope of
his remains finding resting place.
Residents of Tangier Island are sup
erstitious fishermen, and their doings
are ruled by their church. the bury
ing of a suicide on the island is con-
tiary 10 their laws, and when Alex
ander diod residents notified his rela-
tives that he could not be buried on
the island.
Accordingly, his body was taken to
Taylor's Island, but owing to hatred
existing between fishermen Of the
islands the body was not allowed to be
carried ashore, and the funeral party
was driven back to the boats by band
of fishermen armed with shotgurs.
Despairine of finding burial place for
the dead man, his friends considered
burying his remains in the svaters of
the Chesapeake. This was found to
he contrary to their church customs,
and the remains were brought here by
boat, entailing two days voyage.

FOOL BALL,
Many Interesting Contests Saturday, with
Some Surprises.

Many Interesting Contests Saturday, With
Some Surprises.
Last Saturdays football games were
not without their surprises. The day
was in many respects repetition of
the Saturdays that have preceded it.
There were no sensations, but great
DIAL of football history was made. Yale
beat the Indian boys 30 to 0. 1t was a
significant victory, Tor the simple reason
that Yale prepared as hard before the
game as If it had been a contest with
Princeton or Harvard. Yale has not
been known, prior to the game with the
Indians, to 60 into secret practice for a
contest with minor eleven. That the
preliminary work was effective was
shown by the far better interference of
the players, the more effective work Of
the backs and the improv ement in the
running Of the ends. Yale stock in the
coming games with the "Big -Four"
will go up 80 PER cent as result Of
Saturdays contest.
Brown held Harvard down to II noints
and scored touchdown in addition.
The score was not wholly unexpected,
as the Harvard men have shown slight
tendency to be stale. La Fayette scored
against Pennsylvania and Columbia
heat the University of Buffalo with
little trouble. Princeton freshmen an
nexed little glory to their class by
defeating Yale's first year men.

CABLE LETTER FROM LONDON
British Interested In Election
in the United States.
.NNNLEYS SUCCESS APPROVED
BY Both the Newspapers and
the Public.


Copyrighted 1900 by The Associated Press.
London, Eng. Nov. 10. The elections
10 the United States and Canada held
the interest of Great Britain through
out the week to an unprecedented ex-
tent. OF the two great contests, that
between President Mckinley and Will
liam j Bryan was by far the most
closely watched. There is no conceal
ment of the fact that Mr.. Mckinley s
reelection meets with the almost
unanimous approval OF the press and
the public, while the Foreign Office
expresses undisguised relief that it
will not have to deal with new set Of
diplomats in this critical stage of
affairs in the far East and other parts
of the world. Among the columns of
comments appearing in the journals,
there is common to all an expression Of
surprise at the return to power of the
exis ing governments of Great Britain,
the United States and Canada; and,
rightly or wrongly, the deduction is
drawn that this reversal of the usual
order of things is due to the wondrous
spread Of 'imperialistic ideas" among
English eakirg peoples.
Amid this unusually keen appreoia-
tion ct events occurring on the Ameri-
can continent, the return OF Gen.
Butler exoites only faint ripple of
enthusiasm. The soubriquet ferry
man. is too fresh in the public mind
to allow the complimentary references
now made to him TO have much force,
though he will be the object OF many
demonstrations.
The ancient controversy ON the sub
ieot OF the Delagoa Bay railroad award
should at last be settled with hard
cash next week. Communications are
still passing on the subject between
Washington and London. but only one
minor point remains unsettled, and
this should not prev emit the bondholders
from receiving their money in few
days. Another international matter
likely to come up between the United
States and Great Britain Is the sug-
gestion to suppress the Filipino Junta
ut Hongkong. Inquiries reveal that nc
Instructions have yet been received al
the United States Embassy to this end,
though, should the United States Am
bassador, Joseph HI. Choate, be in
structsd to apply for the suppression Of
the junta, it is likely his request will
be granted.
The latest discovery of successful
American enterprise in England is il
the hoot and shoe trade. Daily, the
\ American article is gaining Roadway.
One agent, after three years. work, got
1000 large customers, his turnover this
year amounting to many thousands oil
y pounds. According to the Daily Mail,
y The ability of the American firms te
compete SO successfully is chiefly due
Il TO tue superiority of the American
Il lasts, which are modelled on the human
3 foot, and also to the large outputs q
a well-regulated factories, in which work
is done by the Eiete, instead of OF
time, as prerailsin Great Britain, with
\ the ye, y latest machinery"

Embroidered flannel and cashmere
waists promise to have an extended
vogue, and the fancy shirt waist model
is the one preferred before all others,
The smart design illustrated is in
sealing wax red, with vest and collar
of stitched white, tiny turnover collar
and cuffs of the embroidered edge of
the red. With the waist is worn belt

cameo clasp.
Besides the embroidered materials,
plain flannel, cashmere, Henrietta and

shows 40 embroidered edge, the seal
lups can be embroidered by hand, or
trimmed with braid.
The foundation for the waist is a
fitted lining, which includes under
arm cores and is fitted with single
darts. On this are arranged the back,
the full fronts and the vest which, as
shown, is stitched to the right side
and hooks over onto tho left, but
which can be made from tucked ma
terial and closed at the centre front if
preferred. The sleeves are cut in one
piece, the outer seam extending to the
elbows only, and are finished with
flare cuffs. The high stock is we'll
fitted and rendered peculiarly becoming
by tho turn over portion that flares
and rests against the face. When Gotten
materials are used, the lining can be
omitted and embroidered edging can
be used for the fronts il desired.

AS EUROPE SEES US.


Watson r.. Sperry Home From Dresden
for n Short Stay.
Watson R. Srerry, formerly editor of
the Morning News, this city, and also
former minister to Persia, who. with
his family, has been sojourning IN
Dresden, Germany, for four years, ar.
rived In this city on Saturday and il
stopping at the Central Hotel. He may
remain here all winter. His family Is
IN Dresden.
= Mr.. Sperry tells an interesting story
of the manner in which Europeans re
gard the United States. Speaking of
the German view of the Spanish
American War, he said
''They say the United States tram
pied on weaker nation. But thsy are
not responsible for that statement.
They have read about George Washing
ton and they think he would not have
done such thing and what he would
not have done they think is not right
for the American people to 90. 1he
official party in Germany think the
German official system is the best in
the world. l think Admiral Diederioh
had that idea down in Manila Bay. l
don't want to do him injustice, but
believe he thought Admiral Dewey or
no other American knew how to handle
the situation, and kindly went to show
him how. 1t is the same spirit in
China, and the same OVERRIDING OF what
might be right and proper itself when
the Emperor made that famous speech
On the departure of the German marshal
To China. The ordinary German is
very modest and simple.
~ suppose the EuroDean conception
of the United States since l was here
last has entirely changed. They always
thought us lively and 'pushy,' and no
doubt now think we are able to do
things not only here, but over there.
remember the Paris Figaro mentioning
the United States as one Of seven world
powers. 1t was regarded as a Joke on
the continent"
Talking of the situation in China
and the advent of the United States in
the East, Mr.. Sperry said he thought
they ought to cut oil the heads of 10 or
Ii Chinese officials at least. II don't
think they should cut off the Empress
head :" he said. 'She will die soon
anyhow, but she ought to be shut up.
don't condemn the masses of Boxers
SO much as do the princes and officials.
Their heads ought to be cut off in the
presence of the representatives OF the
other countries. The Japanese want to
bring about an honest and capable
Chinese government and that is what
we want. l think our presence in the
East makes for the good aud welfare OF
| China"
