The spectacle of party of Flat
head Indians gaily spinning about the
streets of Missoula in the new auto
mobile was one that attracted con-
siderable attention and comment on
it's paradoxical features, says the Mis-
sOulian.
Headed by Charlos, the we'll known

automobile of Mr.. Smith which pass

the novelty and strangeness of the

in amazement. They were prevailed
upon later to get in for ride, and the
grunts emitted by each of the un-
fathomable mystery of self pro-
pelling vehicle were plainly in evi-
dence.
Their ride was eminently pleas
ing one as explained by one of the
party, but throughout it all they
clutched the seats and sides to guard
against possible harm. 1t is safe to
predict that the stories they carried
to their reservation companions last
night will soon bring an eager lot of

PROTECTION OF GAME.
State Protective Association Com.

0IaIc FrOtSCIivc ASSOCIdtiOU NOIU'
mends Work Of Warden.
The board of directors of the Mon
tana Fish and Game Protective asso-
citation met at Helena Saturday after
noon and prepared an address to the
various divisions in the state calling
upon all members of the state asso-
citation to assist the state game war
den and his deputies in enforcing the
law. The preamble and resolution
adopted read as follows:
Whereas it is the object of the
Montana Fish and Game Protective
association to see that the game laws
are properly enforced;
Whereas, The executive commit
tee believes that State Game Warden
w. E. Scott is prosecuting his duties
with vigor and ability; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the executive committee that the best
course of the Montana Fish and Game
Protective association lies in.co-oper-
ating with the state game warden in
his work and doing all in it's power to
assist him;
"Resolved, That this committee
recommends to the various divisions
the advisability of pursuing this
ond n %hic onI fho% %l,, ooo
retary be instructed to send a copy
of these resolutions to each of the
divisions in this state, and
Resolved, That the secretary be
further instructed to deliver a copy
of these resolutions to the state game
warden with an expression of this
committees appreciation of the good
work he is doing"
"The rumors of breach between
the game warden and our association
were without foundation" said Sec
retary L. A. Palmer, while discussing
the work of the committee with the
Independent. 1T is the harmony with
Mr.. Scott and the deputies he may
appoint, and while, just now, there is
of course, quite rivalry for the po-
sitions of deputy wardens, and quite
a number of the members wish Mr..
Scott to appoint members of the state
association to these positions, l have
no hesitancy in saying that when
the appointments are made, no mat
ter whether they are made from the
members of the association or not,
the association will continue to exert
it's efforts to the end that the game
and fish laws are enforced.
Reports made from other locali-
ties throughout the state show an in
crease in membership and interest in
the movement. Livingston, especial
ly, makes a strong showing, which
is all the more agreeable owing to the
fact that it is located near the Ma
tional park, where there is more
poaching and unlawful killing done
than any other portion of the state,
with the possible exception of Flat.

PAYS IT'S OWN WAY.
The Free Delivery system Is Now
se1f-sustaining, Says the First
Assistant Postmaster General.

Washington, Nov N.-First Assistant
Postmaster General w. M. johnson In his
annual report says the yearly increase in
the postal revenues has resulted in the
free delivery service becoming self-sus-
tanning OF the gross postal revenues of
$74, 295, 1874 came from 866 free delivery
cities. The remaining $500 presidential post
offices yielded s16,063, ,252, while the 72,479
fourth-class post offices produced $18, 913.-
619. Mr.. Johnson says the fact that the
postal service in the largest cities is prac-
tically perfect is the explanation Of why
the annual percentage of increase in the
revenues of the free delivery post offices
should be three times greater than In the
smaller cities and five times as large as
that of the fourth-class Offices. As rural
free delivery reaches out into the country,
giving equal facilities without regard to
locality, he says 1t increases the revenues
at a rate at least equal to that maintained
In the free delivery cities, where during
the past five years it has averaged eight
per cent.
At the end Of the present fiscal year
$500 rural routes will be in successful op-;
Grafton, 5000 being In effect by December
2. The latter figure represents just 50 per
cent. of the applications for such service
filed since Its Inauguration fiye years ago.
The infexible policy Is announced here

sary post Offices and superfluous star routes
contemporaneously with rural free deliv-
cry routes. On July last the force Of 1, SOL
rural carriers, was serving 2.S40,6A people
