Tnc Cork Tre@

Some children fancy that cog1Ss grow put of bottles instead of being made oi the bark Of d tree which grows in Italy Spain and other southern coun. tries. The cork tree is an evergreen about the size of our apple tree. The bark is stripped in order to obtain the cork, which is soaked and then dried. The moment the bark is peeled off, the tree begins to grow another cork skin, and each neW one is better than the last, so the older the better the cork. The trees are stripped about every eight years, and 50 strong does 1t make them 1.iat they often live to the age of 200 years. Besides it's chief nse as stoppers for bottles, cork Is made into buoys; in making life-pre- servers to save people from drowning, soles of boots and slippers, fancy rock work, largely for lifeboats, and some- times for artificial limbs. After the bark is stripped off, it is trimmed and dried and f1attened out Then it Is packed and shipped to all parts of the world.

INDIANS CANNOT BE FOUND
Alleged Violators Of the Game Laws
Elude the Vigilance of the
State Warden.
(By Associated Press.)

Helena. July 25.-State Game Warden
W. F. Scott has returned from a trip to
the head of the Little Blackfoot, where 1t
had been reported that band of Flat
head Indians had been slaughteriny
game in violation of the law.
Game Warden Scott was accompanied
by Deputy Game Warden Higgins, Of
Missoula. On arriving in the neighbour
hood where the alleged killing was re-
ported to have taken place they examn-
ed the locality in the hope of finding evil
dence that would assist in determining
the whereabouts of the band of Indians
and what had BEEN their conduct while
away from the reservation.
They found three camps evidently
made by Indians and also found quite a
number of feathers which had been
piucked from wild birds.
A search, however, failed to reveal the
hiding place of the red men, and afte,
leaving Deputy Higgins. with special
Deputy Mont Gille:t, en- the field with in
structions to find the Indians if possible.
and in case any evidence could be secur-
ed against them. to bring them out, the
game warden returned.

been started looking to the running OF
an excursion to Red Lodge Sunday, on
which day the local club and the players
OF Red Lodge expect to again make an
active effort to settle the question of
supremacy in the baseball world Of east
ern Montana.
The originators of the excursion hope
to obtain sufficient signatures to a petit
ton they are circulating to enable them
to arrange for special train. The North
ern Pacific will furnish the train upon a
guarantee that us tickets, at $1.75 each,
will be sold.
In addition to arranging for an ex-
cursion the promoters also hope to raise
enough money to permit them to en-
ploy the band.
The people of the coal camp have re-
peatedly visited this city in large num-
bers and in other ways shown their
kindly feeling and friendship for Bill
inSs. and now it is proposed to return
the compliment and show them that
Billings wishes to practice reciprocity.

FREAK LAMB FOR MONTANA
Ranchman Visiting in Helena Tells
Of Curiosity Born in Meagher
County,

Helena. July ga lamb with crimson
colored wool is the latest freak reported
in sheep circles in Montana.
The animal is thriving on a Meagher
county ranch. Old sheepmen say they
never heard of such thing before.
The owner will send the animal to this
city to be placed on exhibition after the
hide has been mounted by local taxi
dermist.
Representative Nathan Godfrey, who
is in the city from his ranch at Two Dot,
Meagher county, claims to have among
his sheep a healthy lamb whose coat is
not the traditional color of white nor the
occasional color of black, but is as red
as though the young bleater had been
baptized in a can Of red paint.
That's no joke" said Mr.. Godfrey
''It's gospel truth. The lamb has a red
coat. 1t is the first of the kind ever seen.
We discovered it when we were docking
the lambs, that is, cutting off their tails.
LAS soon as I saw the little red fellow I
told the men not to cut off his tail as
wanted to keep him for other purposes
than wool or furnishing mutton.
THE lamb is just as healthy as white
or black one. Just what freak of nature
this oddly colored lamb represents I am
not prepared to state.
"Old sheepmen of our locality say that
they never heard of such a colored sheep
before"
Mr.. Godfrey proposes to have the lamb
brought here alive, killed and its hide
mounted by taxidermist. He will pre-
sent the curiosity to the Lambs club, Of
this city. of which he is member.
The red colored lamb it is expected will
prove quite a drawing card at the club
and prove to be a trade mark or emblem
as much as the eagle represents the
Eagles or the elks the Elks.

GREAT GAINS
ARE SHOWN
MONTANA RICHER BY NEARLY
S1O,OOO,OO0 THAN IT WAS
LAST YEAR.
Returns of the Various County Assess
ors Now Almost Completed-Figure
From Carbon the Last Ones to
CONSOLIDATION of All Prop
erty in the Commonwealth
Placed at $l4S, 162,9l6.

Helena, July Pa gain of nearly $1O,-
100000 in the taxable property of the
state, exclusive of railroads, will be
shown by the completed reports of the
various county assessors. The last re-
port, that of Carbon county, is now on
Its way here, and then the figures will
be made public.
Leaving out the Carbon county assess
ment. which will amount to about ST.
100000. the figures now at hand show
that the real and personal property of
the state is valued at $14S. 162 ,916 as COM
pared with s1SS. 401 ,044 last year, not in
GLIDING the railroads.
The county board of equalization Of
Beaverhead county was the first to COM
plete its work of revising the assess
or's figures.
The result Of the boards work was
sent to the state board today. There is a
reduction Of $1,000 in the figures returned
by the assessor. The county board made
the reduction in mortgages.
An error has been discovered by Clerk
Ryan of the state board in the report of
Assessor Brown of Silver Bow county,
which when corrected will increase the
taxable property of the richest county
in the state $4,000. The report was re-
turned to Assessor Brown for correction.
The report of the assessor of Park
county was also returned for a correc-
ton, he having omitted about s3S000 of
railroad property from his list of real
etate.
Petition are being circulated in Lewis
and Clarke county, and will be crcu-
lated in other counties, directed to the
state board Of equalization. urging that
the valuation Of the roadbeds Of the
railroads of the state be increased.
