resided. In 1892 he was elected pro-
bate Judge and ex-officio superintend-
ent Of county schools. He filled these
offices for two years with credit to
himself and to the county.
James F. Dolan, customs inspector,
was kept busy last week chasing a
band OF Cinnamon up and down the
Great Northern track near Bonners
Ferry, who were evading the regula-
tlons OF the exclusion act. Officer
DOlan was able to hear OF the celes-
tials at several places and followed
them to the Pend d'Oreille, where he
finally lost track OF them. The koo-
tenai Herald IS OF the opinion that a
great many Cinnamon succeed in
crossing the line into this county from
British Columbia every year, owing
to the inadequate patrol regulations,
and suggests as remedy that a
number of mounted inspectors be
placed on duty, believing that in this
way the present influx OF Chinese
into the United States could be re-
markably decreased.
An attempt was made to rob the
sluice boxes at the Gold Nugget placer
claim in Tyson camp last Monday
night. The boxes had been running
for five days without a cleanup, and
as they are making about four ounces
a day, a considerable amount Of gold
was known to be in them. Robert
Neill, the owner, was away, and left
orders not to clean up until he re-
turned. He took the precaution to
put on a nightwatch. Monday night
about II O'Clock the nightwatch went
to the house 10 get a lunch He did
not remain in the house to eat. but
made sandwich and returned to duty.
AS he neared the SluiceS he noticed
two men at the sluice boxes. He
hailed them and they ran into the
brush and disappeared. They got
nothing for their trouble.

To the Public,

My age is fourteen months or so;
I've taught myself to walk,
But l am now concerned to know,
How l shall learn to talk;
In fact, how any babe who lives
Both day and night among
His idiotic relatives
Can learn the English tongue.
And therefore, l would make it clear
(Nor deem the act amiss)
What chance have we when ali we
hear
Is language such as this:
re precious sing," 90 wotsy
woots,"
His muzzers tunnin' pet"
re itty, pity, witty toots."
Now what does danma det?"
They tell me that drinks a "dink:
Ny fingers ''fingies' are;
That think is sink" or also FINK, "
And that car is tar
With "tumpty-tump" and bow vow
wow
And Oddly Oddly, dee,'
And other phrases that l vow
Are useless, quite to me.
So. when from mother, aunt and all
I've gained moments grace,
When none to clutch me lest | fall.
Or stare ME in the face,
I've printed out this statement rude
tThe letters learned with pain
From cans of patent baby-fooht
And hope It's not in vain.

CONFERENCE ENROUTE,

The fact that f. Aug. Heinze and
w. A. Clark came home on the same
train from New York and were very
chummy, might, at first glance, seem
indicate that there is really no fight
on between these doughty champions
of the rights of the masses as against
the classes. But on second thought
it may be taken as a prearranged
conference for the discussion of diff
ferences and the reaching of an annie
able understanding, if possible.
Again it might have been confer
ence for the purpose of devsing some
better scheme OF seeing" the legis-
lators than that afforded by the tran
som, a method whereby or Geiger adj
mitted having come into the posses
sion of SLIGO, and considerable no.
toriety to which he objects. There
are whole lot of reasons which
would account for the council of the
big uns" while enroute to the scene
of battle, other than that Of entering
into treaty Of peace, which has been
suggested. However, if Maginnis
gets the job of speaker and Clark is
given another chance to induce the
United States senate TO tolerate his
presence, the purpose of the railway
train conference will have been sat
isfactory explained.

STRIKES.

That there has been a street car
strike in Scranton, Pa, is not sur
prising, but it is surprising that the
strike has been successful and the
men have gone back to work. The
agreement is a compromise and both
SIDES appear to be satisfied. A strike
that wins nowadays is worth noting.
The employees have generally so much
the worst of the contest that the cas-.
es wherein the employers are forced
to make settlement are rare indeed.
strikes are spasmodic protests
against an economic system. the ten
dency of which is to force wages
down to the point of mere subsist.

ABSOLUTCYLY NECESSARY,
Or. Sulgrove Says Vaccination is Sure
Preventative for Smallpox


vaccination is certainly Il sure
preventative for smallpox said
Health Officer Leslie Sulgrove, OF
Helena, recently. "a great many
people in this city do not think that
it is necessary, and scott at the idea
of their getting smallpox bur it is
no joke; vaccination is absolutely
necessary to insure person against
getting the disease. There is 20
telling when it will break ont or on
whom, so the only way to feel safe
is to set vaccinated. The children
of all the schools will be vacciuatec!
and then the danger will be material
ly lessened.
"A great many persons who wish
to avoid being vaccinated advance
the argument that they or thei' child,
are in danger of losing an arm. or
that they will be confined to the;r
homes for such-and-such a time. but
even that is better than having the
disease. and having it spread on ac-
count of their neglecting to become

vaccination is compulsory in

grove. ut was practiced in Lon
don as far back as 1898. In Germany
It is more stringently practicel than
III any other country. In conse-
quence of the smallpox epidemic. in
1901, Germany enacted law
making vaccination obligatory in the
first year of life and re-vaccination
obligatory in the tenth year What
was the result? In 1871, 14S 10000 peo
pie died from smallpox and since
then it has diminished so rapidly that
today the disease numbers orl, 116
victims year, and those cases oc-
cur mostly on her frontier.
III it were true that good vac
cination does not protect from small
pox we ought to find that the disease
dihuses itself in the well-yaccinated
countries no less than in the nun.vac-
cinated countries. But it is not 50.
In 1901. during the Franco .Germa,:
war the two peoples mingled. the
German empire having it's civil! pou-
lation vaccinated optionally, Lit it's
army completely vaccinated. while
the French were vaccinated Il. de-
sultory way, Both were attacked
by smallpox. The French army
numbered $4,000 deaths by It, while
the German army had only 27S, and
in the same tent, breathing the same
air, the French wounded died rapid
ly from the disease, while !,le Cor
man wounded having been vaccinatnd
had not a ingle case.
This alone ought to be sufficient
to demonstrate to almost any one the
efficacy of vaccination of SMALLPOX.
So far the smallpox has cost liel-
ena nothing compared to other cities
in the state. A year ago it cost
Great Falls $4,000 to get rid Of it.
It has already cost Anaconda Sis, 900,
and Butte several hundred d?Ilars a
day, Dillon spent $4,000 and many
other cities have gone to greai ex-
ponse to free themselves fro1n the
dreaded disease.
1t is stated by the health officer
Of New York city that before they
are through they will have vaccinatcd
100000 children.
The children of this city Lave all

er will be enforced. By thu time

child must have a certificate o. vac
cination.''

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

1t is proposed that the legislature
which meets next Monday pass a law
creating the Office of insurance com
missioner. Just what the duties will
be is not made clear, but a law reg
ulating insurance, so that those in
sured will receive justice is urgent
ly needed. AS it is now in this state
the insurance companies may insure
certain property for $4,000, and in
the event of the destruction Of the
property by fire. the companies will
pay only the actual loss. 1t is plain
that ifthe companies charge the prem
ium on a risk Of $4,000 they should be
compelled to pay the $1,000, no mat
ter if the loss is only half of that
amount Either that, or they should
be compelled to refund the difference
between the premium on the AMOUNT
of the insurance and the premium on
the amount the pay in the event of
the destruction of the property in
sured.

is unlimited. AS the demand press
es closer upon the supply. wages and
interest fall and rent rises. The con
test between the three grows con
stantly more strenuous and strikes
for higher wages or reduced hours
of labor are the most apparent
symptoms OF the warfare.

CROSSING TIE SAHARA.
The Foureau Expedition and Its Ex-
periences in the Great Desert


Mr. +. Foureau one of the most
tireless and intrepid explorers of the
Sahara recently returned to France
from his tenth expedition among the
sand wastes and GASES Of the desert.
On this journey he led the largest
party that has ever crossed the Sa-
hara. 1t was a government expedi-
ton and was equipped regardless of
expense. The party WAS to travel
through the country Of the hostile
Tuaregs, and. as it was on a political
mission and fair rate of speed was
desired. great pains We're taken to
make the expedition so strong that
the natives could not seriously i'm
pede its progress. The government,
however, could take no precautions
against the overwhelming heat re-
Elected from the sand wastes. 1t
could provide no relief for Il scanty
water upply, and the party was real
ly embarrassed by its unusual size
on account of the inaGeQuacy of the
infrequent wells to provide sufficient
water. So til, expedition was 4 Ions
time in crossing 'hc desert to the
Sudan.
Foureau set out with $50 Algerian
soldiers. under the orders of Com
manGant iamy and five other Off.
GERS, The entire personnel number
ed about 200 men. and 1000 camels
carried their equipment. 1t started
from Warsla, a little south of AL
SegIa and the expedition made an
imposing appearance as it marched
out OF the fertile oasis. But it was
terribly decimated by the hardships
OF the desert march before it reached
the southern edge of the Sahara. Mr..
feafeaa has Just given La Geogra-
phie the story of his journey and it is
interesting as the experiences of
large expedition in crossing the Sa-
hara.
