The Arctic SUNNI err.

The arctic summer is brief, but for
weeks together there is nothing to dis
tinguish day and night. Once at Dvor.
mix two naturalists had left their ship
at different hours. When later they
met, one said, Good morning." the 9th,
er, Good evening" Both agreed that
the hour was Z, but while one traveller
held that it was Z tomorrow morning
the other maintained that it was
o'clock last night. On returning to the
ship they settled that it was last night
so they dined and went to bed again.

Postmaster Devine's term of office will

draws near the candidates who aspire to

is to be in charge of the postoffice for the
next four years, now that the appoint
ment is likely to be announced almost
any day, and the matter is freely dis
cussed in most all public places in town,

The Austrians of Anaconda and all Of
those who understand and speak the
Slovenian language have a movement on
foot for the organization of a fraternal
society, in fact the preliminaries have
been arranged and all that remains to be
done is to comply with the Incorporation
laws of the state. The organization has
been perfected in every other way and
a we'll known attorney Of this city has
the articles in preparation.
At a meeting of the promoters held
few days ago 1T was decided to give the
organization a name which reads like
the following: "Srpsko S.ovinski Dobrot-
varnO DrustVo." Just how the name
would look if translated into English the
reporter is unable to say. but as it
stands it certainly has enough jaw
breaking propensities to leave alone
Each member of the society Is to con-
tribute certain amount each month
which goes into the treasury of the con-
Germ which is to be expended in time
of sickness or when any member is needy
and worthy of assistance.
1t will be conducted a good deal on

kind of a story about early life in Mon.
tana.
According to the pioneer with the long
halr, it was through a ground hog that
a valuable mine was discovered along
wisconsin creek in Madison county in
1893. Lou Planalp was pros Getting in
that locality one day and observed IL
mole on the side of hill. Some sort
OF instinct which a miner alone can ex-
plain, led Planalp to make close ex-
animation of the hole and its surround
1ngs. He was rewarded. At his feet
lay piece of quartz that glittered with
specks of the yellow metal. That piece
of quartz undoubtedly came out of the
hole. Picking it up. Planalp put it in
his pocket. and set to work right away
to make II location. When that chunk
or quart was assayed. the result showed
more than $500 per ton in gold. The
ground-hog hole was made wider and
deeper and as the shaft progressed gold
was found in abundance until the dis
covery was made that further sinking
produced nothing but hard labor Then
the mine abandoned. Its richness
lay only on the surface and a hundred
feet or so below the grass roots. How
ever the ground hog mine cleaned up
about 100000 for its owner: and the pio-
neer was willing to make affidavit be-
fore Judge Clancy or any other judge
in Montaa that what is herein narrated
is gospel truth.
Are YOU quite sure that the hole
which led to discovery of Planalp's mine
was made by a ground og?" uueried
the reporter. Nov, was it not a bad
gers hole?'
Come To think on it. it may have been
a badgers hole replied the pioneer. a
little put out by any suggestions of doubt
concerning his memory and Veracity.
But badger or grounding, it was Il
hole all the same. and it turned out big
money for Lou Planalp."

ducts a shop of his own on North Mon
tana street. on the road to Centervile.
In a soap box, Slated over at the top
to resemble pigeon coop. he had
placed a large bologna sausage. When
customers entered, naturally their eyes
were directed to the box. and their GU
riosity aroused concerning its contents.
It's ground-hog," Louis would re-
ply. BE careful not to alarm the little.
fellow. Don't lift the box from the floor.
Just peep in and see what he looks like"
Then came the BARRIERS climax fo"
. fun. A god sized Stat lay handy to his

Stat and applied it to that part of the

the most good. Louis had more of a
crowd all day around that soap box
