SECURING YOUR SCALP
Will Remove the Loose Dandruif Scales,
But il Won't Cure Dandruff.

II your hair IL brittle and thinning
you havedandrufi. The merely scour-
ing Of the scalp of the loose scales
won't cure dandruif, because dandruff
is nothing but scales Of scalp being
thrown up by a pestiferous little
germ in b%urrowing its way to the
root Of the hair, where it saps the
vitality, causing falling hair and, in
time, badness. Now you can't stop
dandruff, norialling hair nor prevent
badness unless you destroy that
germ; and the only preparation that
can do it is the new scientific discov-
cry, Newbro's Ilerpicide. In fact no
other hair preparation claims to kill
the dandrufi germ-all of them will
clean the scalp; soap and water will
do that, but only Newbro's Herpicide
gets Mt the root Of the trouble and
killsthe dandruif germ.

UNCLE SAM MAKES INQUIRIES.
Homestead Filings to be txamined-land
Laws Enforced.

The news Is given out from parties
who are in a position to know, says
the Great Falls Leader, thatnll ofthe
land entries which have been madein
Montana for some time past will be
examined into by a number OF gov
eminent agents who are now on the
road to Montana for the purpose.
The homestead entries field will be
particularly inquired into and 1t IL
claimed that there will be muchfraud
found among them; the timber and
stone entries OF recent date will also
receive the attention of THE gentlemen
from Washington, and it il limited
that many sensations are apt to de-
velop.
During the past few years the de-
mand for government land has been
so general and the value Of pine lands
SO enhanced that there has been "a
large number OF homesteads and tim
Der and stone claims filed. Anumber
OF years ago a ma who had a clair
thought all that was necessary was
to build IA shack. make n small clear
ing, and, perhaps, dig II small hole in
the ground, which he digniiied with
the name of well. Incidentally, he
would come around once in six
months to see If the claim was still
| there. Conditions are now different,
and the man who takes IA claim has
to run the gauntlet Of the claim
Jumpers, OF which there are many,
and the scrutinizing government
agents.
The government considers the in
tent Of the person to establish a home,
rather than his actual work done ON
the land, To convince the interior
department that he intends to make
a home Of the land he must build a
cabin and make n clearing. Hemust
make u dwelling, not "a shack with
cracks in the wall large enough to
admit stray rabbits.
In addition to n sheet iron stove he
must have an old suit ofclothes lying
around, and otherwise he must con.
vince the department OF the interior
that he intends to establishlish a per
manent home. Then hecan look after
his farm every six months, but his
good intentions must be apparent t.
the government officials who com,
around to look up the matter.
Frequently government agents Dc
not visit one locality formany years
and many people prove up without
making very great ~pretensions a
complying with the law.
1t is stated that every five-yeaI
homeste adm Montana will beinvesti
gated and checked up by the interior
department, and persons who hav'
not qualified with the law will hav'
their entries cancelled, for they vii
not be allowed to prove up.

A NEW VARIETY OF TROUT.
Cross Between the Native Fish and Loeb
lomond Trout.

While the state OF Montana has
done nothing more than topassla VS.
calculated to protect and perpetuate
the various game fishes native TO the
waters of Montana, IL may interest
the deciples OF Isaac Walton OF this
locality to learn something concern
ing the results which have followed
experiments made by the state game
and fish commission OF Minnesota In
the way ofpropugating new varieties
of game fish in that state. A Billings
Gazette reporter n few days ago had
an interesting chat with an enthuns-
tic fisherman from Minneapolis who
had much TO say in praise OF a new
variety of trout with which many Of
the streams of his state has been
stocked and which are Just beginning
to be caught in large numbers.
The new fish which is delighting
the anglers OF Minnesota is the pro-
duet Of IA cross Of the native trout
and the Loeb Lomond trout, import
ed from Scotland. The imported fish
W ere secured about six years ago and
the cross has prOvd to be even more
successful than was hoped for, as the
offspring m~ultiplies rapidly and IL as
ga mey n fish as ever took n line, at
least 1t is SO described by the maj to
whom the Gazette Is indebted for the
information here given. In appear
ance the cross resembled the Scotch
trout, retaining the brown spots,
but proved twice n gamey as either
it's progcnitors. As the hybrid has
proved immensely popular with the
anglers, the commission is keeping n
number ON hand at the state hatch
cry for breeding purposes and as fast
as possible new streams are stocked.
In addition to the half breed Scots
the commission IL also introducing
other crosses of trout. One OF these
IL obtained from the Lake superior
trout and the common brook trout
and a fish the size of the lake trout,
but with all the marks of the brook
variety, il the result. The eggs of
the cross, however, are sterile and
the experiment cannot therefore he
called Il success. Efforts are also he.
ing made to stock the lakes of the
state with ~steelheads, natives Of Lake
Superior, and Of the salmon trout
variety. They are a large fish and
being very gamey, are very popular
with fishermen.

Fergus County Cool Mines.

The discovery Of large coal veins within
a few miles Of Lewistown would eventually
be more valuable than the Kendall gold
mine. That they may yet be found is not
Improbable. John Borg who owns what is
known as the Leard ranch, two miles above
town, is developing a mine which il con.
stantly improving both MS TO quantity and
quality of the "bluck diamonds.' Atpres-
ent there are but two tunnels on the prop
erty, one in 10 feet and the other 300. In
the latter a three foot vein is exposed Mt
the face OF the tunnel which also extends
both to the right and left from which coal
is now being mined for the local market.
Mr.. Borg intends to put a small force OF
men to work at once on the property and
there is every indication that he can sup
ply all OF his customers with good quality
OF coal at reasonable rates. lie has con-
structed a new bridge across the creek near
his mine and will change the road and
make the approach to the mine easier OF
access. As there are coal indications for
several thousand feet west oithe mine there
is little doubt that the hills are inlaid with
an i~nexhaustible supply which only awaits
the miners pick and shovel aided by CAPT
tai to expose it and place it on the market
