NEARLY LOST HIS D0cGIE
County Official at Anaconda Gets His
License rag Just in
Time.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Sept. 6.-While one of the
county officials was busy securing u
tag to be placed on the collar of his
dog. the city dog catcher espied the
animal, and It was but a short time
until the wagon moved on down street
having as further addition to it's in
mates one large black dog.
The official was much puzzled as to
the whereabouts of the animal, but
finally deciding that the dog catcher
must have taken him, he went to the
city pound. The dog was not there. He
then hunted up the dog catcher, finding
him engaged in trying to lasso a poodl.
dog. The official Immediately recog-
nized his dog on the inside of the cage.
He informed the dog catcher how the
matter stood and said he had a tag
for his dog at home. The dog catcher
was skeptica'l. Therefore the gentleman
had to go home, get his tag and go
back again. Not until the dog catcher
saw the tag fastened to the dog would
he let him go.
The Anaconda city dog catcher is NJ
respecter Of persons and furthermore
he has been having a rafting good
business for the past few days.

Pitts Last Words.

The last words of great men are al
ways sacredly treasured and there is
some reason for the belief that in in
stances the words are polished and
changed to suit the occasion. Various
dying sentiments have been ascribed to
the great William Pitt, and Disraeli was
fond Of telling story dhich he heard
from an old waiter at the house of COM
mons.
Late one night said the waiter to
Disraeli shortly after he entered parlia-
ment. Il was called out of bed by a
messenger in post chaise shouting to
me outside the window.
:" What is it?' said
You're to get up and dress and bring
some of your pork pies down to Mr..
Pitt, at Putney.'

messenger told me that Mr. Pitt had not
been able to take any food, but had said,

arrived Mr.. Pitt had paassed away.
Them were his last words:

"A large party went over last night,
<here being altogether nearly 50 Ana

The execution was a general subject
OF conversation in the city last night,

Ia this state. The spot made most fam

It is said that one night in 1866, when
Helena was known as Last Chance

there for the night, not knowing that
the tree had a special use. The party,
consisting Of man, his wife and his two

find the bodies Of three Cinnamon hang

FRUIT INSPECTOR IS NAMED
James D. Donnelly Will See That
Goods offered for Sale Are
All Right.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Sept. 6.-James D. DON
,.elly OF the City Drug company has
been appointed fruit inspector for the
city of Anaconda.
The appc intment was made by c. NJ.
Allen of Lo Lo, member of the Montana
State Board of Horticulture. represent
ing the Fourth district.
The fruit inspectors are known OFT.
cially as inspectors for Fruit Pests !"
Special inspectors are sometimes ap-
pointed for some certain duty.
It is the duty Of an inspector for fruit
pests to inspect orchards, nurseries.
trees, ETC., for pests known or thought
to be present which are detrimental to
their growth and which render the fruit
o. bearing trees unheaNhful and unfit
for use.
Nursery stock. fruit, ETC., shipped into
the state must be examined by the IN
spector end must bear the certificate
of inspection before it can be offered
for sale. The penalty for a violation Of
this law is a fine of not less than $100.
for each ofYense.
During the past few years there has
been an immense quantity of fruit eX-
posed for sale in the state Of Montana
which has been totally unfit for use.
curing the season of a year ago much
of this sort of produce was found and
ordered destroyed in several of the prin .
cipal cities Of the state.
Its un:itness may be caused by vari-
Gus reasons, such as being overripe be-
fore shipment. In this case the proba-
bilities are that before the shipment
reaches is destination. much of it is u:
Cayed and the disease germs arising
from sucn action is spread through IT,
entire load, thus deteriorating the value
Of the fruit as we'll as making it excecd-
ingly uuhealhful and dangerous.
It is to do away with this that tn :,
Offices Of fruit inspectors have been es-
tablished throughout the state, and
there Is not the slightest doubt that tn.
system will prove Itself highly bene-
flcial In 8 short time. 1t will increase
the amount Of fret class fruit in sie
market and probably make an excellent
showing when it comes to decreasing
the sick rate.
The president OF the State Board of
Horticulture is S. M. Emery Of Man
haitian ard G. H. Edwards Of Butte Is
secretary. Both Of these gentlemen
have been closely identified with til,
cause in this state for some years and
it is largely due to their efforts that

its present important position among

liant service for the Cause of Lib
erty Maintain Many
Churches and Journals.

As is well known. the Swedes found
ed a settlement on the Delaware in
1885, and the remembrance of this
first Swedish emigration TO America
teens with interesting episodes. In
an article in the Chicago Record-Her-
aid Prof. Rasmus Il. Anderson says
that the Swedish language was used
in a Philadelphia church as late as
1928 and then continues: l cannot
here enter more fully into the de-
tails of this settlement, but l may be
permitted to call attention TO the
fact, probably not generally known,
that John Morton, one of the signers
of the declaration of independence,
and an active member of the conti-
mental congress, born at Ridley, Pa,
in 1924, was a descendant OF the
Swedes on the Delaware. Robert An
derson, the gallant defender of Fort
Sumter, against which tina first gun
of the rebSllion was fired, was also
a scion of tha Swedes on the Della
ware. Thomas f. Bayard, who served
our country as senator, secretary of
state and ambassador to England, re-
peatedly told me how proud he was
of the fact that be was descended on
his mothers side from these same
Swedes. And so we see that love OF
freedom, patriotism, statecraft and
all that makes for good citizenship
came over to America not only in the
Mayfower, but also in the kalmar
Nyckel and Vogel Grip. The first
Swedish settlers on the Delaware
came in the ship Kalmar NICKEL and
in the yacht Vogel Grip, in 1888, just
as the first Norwegian immigrants in
this country left Norway in 1925 in
the sloop Restoration.
Among the distinguished represen-
tatives of the Swedish-American
group of our population i may also
mention the famous rear admiral of
the United States navy, John n. Dahl
gren, who was born in Philadelphia
in 1909. During the war of the rebel

lion he silenced Fort Sumter and Sc
cured a safe anchorage for the Mon
tier inside the bar of Charleston, and
in this manner effectually put stop
to the blockade running, which had
been so successfully practiced His
name is thus linked with that of the
world-renowned John Ericsson, the
inventor of the Monitor, and our
navy is largely indebted to Dahlgren
for the great improvements in it's
ordnance made since 1910. 1t is
hardly necessary to add that John
Ericsson, whose invention of the
Monitor in 1862 made the north SUI
preme on the sea and shortened the
immigrant; born in Sweden July 81,
1903. He emigrated to England in
1926 and to America in 1889. In 1929
he invented the fire engine for ex-
tinguishing fires, and in 1884 he APP
piled the screw instead of wheels for
propelling vessels.
A large number of Swedes served in
the war of the rebellion, and going
back to the war of the revolution we
find brilliant Swede, Col. (afterward
field marshaD Axel Fersen, who in
1879 went to France, where he was
appointed colonel of the royal regi-
ment of Swedes- At the head of his
regiment ne served in the later cam
paigns of the American war, and dis
tinguished himself on various occa-
sions, particularly in 1871, during the
siege of Yorktown. Axel Fersen also
took part in the negotiations between
Gen. Washington and Gen. Rocham-
beau. He afterward became marshal
of the kingdom of Sweden.
One of the most distinguished
Swedes now living in this country is
John Lind. He was born in Sweden
March 20, 1854; came with his parents
to Minnesota; was a member of con-
gress from 1887 to 1893 and governor
of Minnesota frem 1899 to 1901.
The great and fiourishing Swedish
Lutheran Augustana synod was or
ganized in 1851, and Rev. L. p. Esb-
jorn is regarded as the father of the
Swedish Lutheran church in this
country. The Augustana synod has a
large college at Rock Island, ILL.,, and
hourishing college at st. Peter,
MINI. II has a large number of fine
church edifces and host of able
pastors and teachers. The Swedes in
this country maintain a number of
weekly newspapers which are edited
with signal ability. They are loyal
to American institutions and at the
same time devoted to their Swedish
inheritance. 1t may be said of the
swedes, as of the other representa-
tives of the Scandinavian peoples,
that they make excellent American
citizens, and that the value of their
citizenship is greatly enhanced by the
interest they take in the language,
history and literature of Sweden.
