1--WE have heard a number of COM
plains recently that the Cree half
breeds living along the mountains are
dynamiting hsn in the Teton and 9TH
err streams in tina. section. We have
game warden whose duty it is to see
that the laws in this regard are en-
forced, but as near as we are able to
learn he has never visited this lOcali-
ty and apparently does not care
whether or not the game laws are en-
forced SO long as ne is able to draw
his salary for doing nothing"

a1atrimony In Gilber, Islands.


Women Of the Gilbert islands being
merely regarded as cattle or any other
property, writes Arthur Inkersley In
The Overland Monthly, the matrimoni-
al knot is easily tied and just as easily
united. II a man fancies a girl, he
selzes her by the hair Of the head.
wherever she may be, despite her pro-
testations. and drags her away to his
home. Her resistance Is not often scri-
GUS, the pretense Of refusal being due
to the coquettishness inherent in the
sex. When the couple reach the house
of the groom, wedding feast Is fur
nished forthwith, to which all the I'M
mediate friends Of the bride and BRIDE
groom are invited. But an acceptance
of the invitation implies the eontribu-
ton of some yiands to the entertain
ment. Matrimony Is attended by no
further ceremony than this. When q
husband grows weary of his wife. he
simply orders her to leave him. and II
she does not he turns her out of doors.

IN. Prayer Before Gettysblrr,

The Prayer Before Gettysburg.
General Daniel Sickles told a story
illustrating the tenderness Of President
Lincoln's heart as well as his faith in
Providence and his beautiful optimism.
After Sickles had been wounded at
Gettysburg he was removed to Wash
ington, and the president called on him
at the hospital. When the general
described the battle and the awful
slaughter, "Lincoin wept like child"
"While the two armies were converg-
ing" said Lincoln, 81 went into nv
room and prayed as never prayed be-
fore. l told God that II we were to
win the battle he must do it, for had
done all that could. l went from nv
room with great load lifted from my
shoulders, and from that moment l
never had a doubt as to the result. We
shall hear good news from Grant, who
has been pounding away at Vicksburg
for so many months. l am in a pro-
phetic mood today, Sickles, and say
that you will get WE'LL"
1.-THE doctors do not say So"
II don't care, Sickles. you win get
WE'LL" persisted the president.
And that afternoon, General Sickles
goes on to say, telegram was receiv-
ed from General Grant announcing the
fall Of Vicksburg. His own recovery
soon followed.

State Land Register Thomas d.
Long is expected to reach Kalispell
tonight to effect the preliminary ar
rangements for the sale of large part
of the state land in this county. Mr..
Long has been a valuable and consist
ent friend of the interests of his home
county He has been far more valu-
able for Flathead in the state land
office than he could possibly have been
in the legislature. Had a man less
conversant with the needs of Flat
head county been chosen state land
register it is likely that not for years
to come would the state lands have
been placed upon the market. The
taxpayers of this county are indebted
TO Mr.. Longs persistent endeavors in
their behalf for the gratifying result
which has been achieved in the change
of policy regarding the state lands.
This will be Mr.. Longs first visit to
his old home since his appointment as
state land register, and his welcome
will be cordial and sincere because
he has been faithful and loyal to his
own people.

Interest in the oil fields of Kalispell
is growing, says the Helena Herald.
If one-half the reports are true the
prosperous county in the northern part
of the state bids fair to develop new
industry. Natural gas is also said to
have been found in the locality of the
Oil fields. Many acres of land have al
ready been taken up for their possible
oil and gas wealth.
J. H. Edwards, secretary of the Kali
ispell Townsite company, and we'll
known banker living at the county
seat of Flathead county, who is in
Helena, says that interest in the oil
fields is at whit heat. While the ex-
tent of the oil deposit and it's value is
largely matter Of conjecture Mr.. Ed
wards says that no one can dispute
that there are strong indications of
extensive oil fielas somewhere in the
locality where the surface indications
are found.
"One company composed of Butte
parties has taken up at least 10000
acres of land" said Mr.. Edwards.
They have ordered a lot of expensive
machinery and are going about it in
systematic way to ascertain whether
there is any oil there There are
plenty of surface Indications. The oil
is found on both sides of the interna-
tional boundary about SO miles north
of Kalispell. A road has been cut
through the timber from Bolton, on
the Great Northern, to the fields. The
Butte company has machinery at Bel
ton that is to be hauled to the fields,
set and placed to work searching after
the fluid. The samples of the oil that
have been sent to eastern experts for
examination made very creditable
showing. I am not seeking to work
up any boom. If it is determined there
is good supply of oil that has any
market value the boom feature of the
case will take care OF itself.
Natural gas has also been found
there. Along the shores of Kintla
lake where the oil indications are the
most pronounced gas has been found
escaping through assures in the
rocks. A party told me of finding gas
that when lit burned all night. It is
usually customary for gas to be
found wherever oil exists"
Mr.. Edwards says that Flathead
county is very prosperous. The
crops will be large. The yield of fruit
will not be as heavy as anticipated on
account of the backward spring The
tle-pickling plant built by the Great
Northern road is about ready to COM
mence operations. It is located at the
Point of Rocks. IL miles south of Kali
ispell. 1t will have capacity of one
million ties per annum.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
MONDAY, AUGUST -, 1901.
FIGHTING THE UNIONS.
a Il Il n X x m

The strenuous objection made Ey
many employers to any sort of official
recognition of labor organizations
and the equally strenuous demand by
the workers that they be accorded
such recognition, results in situations
occasionally thai are iather remarka-
able. In Chicago while union molders
are on strike because their employers
refused to pay them So a day, these
same employers are offering $3.50 and
SAFE day to non-union men to *
place the strikers. Not that non
union men are any better worAmen
than union men-the chances are
much in favor of the superiority of the
latter-but it is announced that the
members of the National Founders
association have taken this as the
first step in fight for the extermina-
ton of the Machinists and Iron Mold
ers' unions This fight will be waged
with great intensity and Chicago will
be the city from which the efforts Of
the manufacturers will be directed. in
their efforts to destroy the two unions
the manufacturers will endeavor to re-
place their union employees with non
union men who Will live within the
plants. They will sleep on cots fur
nished by the manufacturers, and will
eat their meals in the establishments.
The near-sightedness of the Nation
al Founders association is most as
tonishing. Suppose they find non
union men to replace the strikers, at
$3.50 per day. After monLhs of hard
work they may succeed in getting
their work turned out III as good con-
dition as previous to the strike; then,
if not before, they will realize that
they are paying good deal more for
labor than their competitors employ
ing union labor, and will endeavor to
cut wages; as has often been the
case, the non-union men Will organize
to rists, with the probable result
another strike. Perhaps the dignity
of the employers would not be equal
ly conserved if they would reach an
agreement with the union men at 50
per day, but the benefits resulting to
their financial interests and the quail
ty of their work would seem to be sub
stantiai enough to appeal to the mos
stubborn.

UNFORTUNATE HARVEY.

The Helena herald, which, since 1t
was abandoned by the Fisk Brothers,
has been farmed out to every person
who has had bit of dirty work to do
and has been able to pay the price, is
now engaged in an attempt to white
wash the principals in the odious Har-
ney-Brackett scandal. AS a result
the case against Harvey grows strong
er every day. The editor of the Her.
aid is said to be Christian Scientist
and as such he probably thinks that if
he can induce his readers to believe
Harvey innocent Harvey will be limo.

with the Herald and it does not find

EFT as chaste as ice and as pure as

The discussion of any question from
a moral standpoint is out of the ques.

cerned. It is the most VIGOROUSLY
venal newspaper in Montana, and that
is saying a great deal. Judge Harvey
is unfortunate in his friends. Were

The MOVING Plant.

A very queer plant belongs to the
pea family and Is called the knowing
plant" on account Of the manner in
which its leaves turn around Of their
own accord or go by jerks, without be-
ing touched or In any way disturbed.
Sometimes only one or two leaves on
plant will be affected; at other times
they will all perform jumps and gyra-
lions simultaneously. 1t is observed
that the movements are most energetic
when the thermometer marks about 80
degrees.
