been in the hands of decorators and

success

the hay was down. Usually one or more
rains fall during the haying season, to
interfere with the putting in of the crop
and it has passed into proverb that the
way to bring rain is for all the farmers
to start haying at once. That seems to
be as sure as a Baptist picnic. But the
signs failed this year, and the ranchers
have as fine lot of hay as they ever
put up.
1--WE are having little demand for flour
for foreign export, as our trade Is al
most altogether in hard wheat flour.
which is too high priced for export. Most
of that which goes abroad, especially to
the westward. is of the second or third
grade, for which there is little demand
at home. Such trade is not especially
valuable to the miller. as the product is
sold so low as to allow of little profit.
Its principal value is to fill in time, when
there is no hard wheat to grind, or the
market Is temporarily supplied. Then,
too, we are Handicapped by having 70 ship
for a thousand miles by rail. In compe-
titiOn with the flour from the coast,
which can be put aboard boats and never
see a railroad. We are in no need of a
foreign market for Montana hard wheat,
however, as long as the present demand
keeps UP. Our own mill ran almost ev-
cry day and night during last year, and
is closed down now for short time
only to allow Of putting in new boilers,
and some new machinery for the better
handling of the wheat.
"There is little demand for the new
tangled health foods that are so widely
advertised. That is, not such as to in
terfere with the trade on high grade
white flour. Contrary to the arguments
of some of the health journals that go
stark mad on the subject of diet, white
-four is not a deadly poison. and people
may just as we'll grow to be hundred
years old on that as on any or all Of the
health foods ever invented. These are
kept up by constant and persistent ad-
vertising. You could sell mud as food
if you were to advertise it as some of
these preparations are advertised. There
is little demand for whole wheat flour,
most people preferring to have a bread
that will satisfy the eye as we'll as the
palate. If there We're a greater demand
for these preparations it would be good
thing for the millers and the grocers, for
they bring a much higher price than
ordinary flour.
1.-The outlook for the milling business
for the coming year is very good. With
plenty of good wheat to grind, and
good home market, there is reason to be-
lieve that every good mill in the state
will run night and day for the entire
year."

HEAVY FINES IMPOSED On
TWO WOMAN P|CkPOCKETS

been in Jail couple Of weeks ago and
had secured the remittance of a fine
against him of SO, which he claimed
not to be able to pay, with the plea
that he had no money and would do
better next time. The chief expressed
doubt that he had accumulated $575 since
that event. but said that If such should
prove to be the extraordinary fact and
the women, a determined effort would
be made to recover it.
Evarts went through the inquisition to
which he was subjected without hest
Eating in his answers to the questions
put to him. Either he is prompt ana
connected creator Of fairy stories. fully
supplied with information on all points
that might arise in such an examine
ton, or his story is true. OF course, the
sum Of money which he said he had
may have been much smaller than that
which he named, while the other partic-
ulars remained veritable.
Evarts stated that he had sold 20
acres of land, which lay three miles
from Twin Bridges. week ago to a
man named Ed Copeland, resident Of
Dillon. For the land and for hay pitch
ing services he had been paid $500 III
a check which he had cashed at the
Twin Bridges Mercantile company's
store, receiving bills for the same. The
deed for the land was filed a week ago
at Twin Bridges.
Evarts came to Butte day before yes
terday and lodged with the Murphys,
who live at S46 South Main street. He
strolled through Pleasant alley last
night. The bills, some of which were
new, possessing pleasant crackle when
folded and unfolded, and others Of which
were old and soft and less noisy, but
just as gratifying to the heart, reposei
in an outside vest pocket when the stroll
began-that is, to hear him weave his
romance.
He went into Nancy Hanks fytrap.
He also talked to a policeman in front
Of her door. He did not know whether
that was before or after. Prior to visit
ing the woman's place he had loitered III
four saloons. He spoke to another wo-
man. He did not know whether that
was before or after. The policeman
asked him If he had lost anything, and
he did not know whether that was before
or after.
Later, when the stroll was finished
and he was loitering in saloon No. he
discovered the loss of the money.
The chief of police will inquire into
Evarts' story of the land sale. and more
will be known about what he stood to
lose afterward.
The Miller and the Hanks women will
give up 500 each or repine in Jail for
awhile, during which Pleasant alley will
not be so dangerous to the wayfaring
haypitcher from Twin Bridges.

THE FREY ARCH MUST FALL
Gang Of Workmen Will Destroy the
Beautiful Architectural Creation
in a Few Hours.

The carpenters are today casting GOO
goo eyes in the direction of the great
white arch that guarded the street fair
grounds, and will soon begin it's demoli-
ton with hatchets, hammers and some
other potent weapons of their craft. They
are the real knockers of the fair, but
they deferred their operations until the
public had all the amusement it
wanted. The splendid white arch that
CLEANED at night in frey brilliancy and
doomed aloft in dazzling purity during
the day will in a few hours be a mass
of lumber If the carpenters are allowed
to have their way.
The, street fair is no more. The once
White tents have gone to other fields. The
Turk, after a brief, but profitable ses-
sion in the greatest mining camp on
earth has left for other parts. The Arab
of doubtful extraction will buy a new
turban and exhibit himself to other Won
dering thousands. The camel has got an
extra hump on himself as a money maxi
err. and is now rolling in luxury. The
Scots have ScOoted with the rest of the
bunch. The flying lady has spread her
fairy wings and flown westward. In fact,
the whole fair has vanished into thin
air, and naught but the memory remains.
Down the once brilliant Midway, the
''kids' fight for the possession of
broken rubber balls gaudy-hued tape,
bunting, empty bottles, picture cards,
everything that is valuable for q child
mind. The ruthless carpenters are using
a hammer and saw on the once gaily
decorated booths, where the merchants
made their displays. The brief city of a
day is now thing of the past, but
though more evanescent than the rain
bow, it had it's lower end a pot of gold
for its lucky finders, the Midway people.
And from appearances, the pot of gold
has fallen into appreciative hands.
The Overland club boys are COM
mended and praised for their pluck in
bringing the attraction here. They
worked like Trojans to carry on the fair
in a creditable manner. However, in the
contracts. 1t seems that the visitors got
the long end of the purse. All the con-
tracts made with the management, how
ever, We're kept by the show people.
One and all, the boys are glad that the
fair is over. They have laid awake
nights wondering whether they would
come out we'll and whether the people ap-
preciated their efforts, and whether a
rain would come and play havoc with the
attendance. AS the event proved, they
have had no fear on any Of these points.
The rain did not come, the people flock
ed in by the thousands, and the club will
have a surplus in its treasury after all
bills shall be paid.

THE KISSING BUG BUSY.
He Is in Full Bloom at Anaconda
Swells Butte Musicians
Hand

samuel Treloar. the leader of the Bos.
ton q Montana band, is victim of the
notorious kissing bug which was the sub
Ject OF so much comment in newspapers
magazines and other publications when
It Hrst blossomed into public notice. The
KISSING bug is a poisonous insect whose
bife or sting or kiss. just as it may seem
Mt 70 call 1t. produces painful results.
1tS sentimental name arises from the
amorous habit it has of landing it's IA
nous kiss upon the lips of people.
4df. Treloar visited Anaconda yester-
day. and he evidently bumped into a bug
VINO was in training. for he got nip
on the hand that swelled it up so it
looks like a first class case of mumps
Mr.. Treloar exhibited the swelled mem
Der to his friends yesterday. and ex-
planned that the bug that attacked him
was about the size of a bluebottle fly and
declared that the bite made the blood
how as II he had been cut with q knife
At first glance it looked as if the hand
had been bored by several healthy and
self-confident mosquitoes who were sat-
isf1ed that they could do a good piece of
work and had undertaken to do it, Some
body suggested that the member looked
like a hand that had collided with the
jaw OF some pugilist. and the puffs that
covered the knuckles lent color to the
supposition. If Mr.. Treloar had desired
to pose as a scrapper he could easily
have done so with one hand.
III the kissing bug grows numerous
in Butte and goes after the lips of the
Butte bellies there will be wailing in
the land. for if it can do such terrible
execution on the hardened hand of a
man the damage it must have power
to do to the delicate lips of the ladies'
would cause results nothing less than
tragic" said friends of the band leader
who had seen the swelled hand
Imagine a girl meeting her beau at the
sitting room with her lips looking like
pair of boxing gloves. This is horri-
flying prospect to contemplate. If the
bug arrives. and having reached Ana
conda there is not much likelihood that
Butte will be overlooked: the ladies will
have to wear masks. which will revive
a custom of the 18th century that used
to be annoying to men of that period"

Filled the Pockets Of John Ev-
arts With Busting Bills-He
Came to Butte, Saw the
Sights and Was Robbed.
The hay pitcher from Twin Bridges is
soon relieved of his coin on Galena
street. That fact is spectacularly illus
trated by the experience Of John Evarts,
a tall man with a tronzed skin that may
have been painted UP in a hay field or
may not, II the stranger with hard
luck story is always to be believed.
Evarts declares that he is out $575 and
that it is his belief that Nancy Hanks
and her lady friend. May Miller, alias
Flo Stewart, who reside in the narrow
thoroughfare known as Pleasant Alley,
ar adjunct of the Galena street quarter,
are in that much.
This morning Nancy and May. who are
a depraved looking pair Of women. were
in court to answer before Judge Boyle
to charge of being inmates Of houses
that are under the legal ban. No charge
Of grand larceny had been preferred
against them because the usual course
is otherwise. but the story of Evarts,
which had been brought to the ears of
the Judge was the kernel in the nut
formed by the charge upon which they
were hauled up.
Both women pleaded not guilty, and
the judge promptly fixed their bonds at
500 apiece. They were taken by sur
prise and their faces betrayed consterna-
tton. It was very plain that they had
expected a small bond which could be
conveniently and profitably forfeited. So
they were inspired to change their pleas.
That being done they were as promptly
fined 800 apiece. This was surprise num-
Der two. Nancy laughed rudely and un-
pleasantly at this. She had not ex-
pected the Jar.
Perceiving the way the wind was
blowing she demanded that Evarts, who
was in the court room but had had nc
part in the proceedings, be compelled to
come forward and talk about himself
This was on the police court schedule
however; the business Is not run that
way; so she was not accommodated.
After the usual morning business had
been cleared away, however, Judge Boyle
and chief of police held a non judicial
examination of Evarts in order to probe
the touch story. Evarts was called for
ward to the judges bench and required
signed to uncover the mystery of how 9

much money in his jeans, especially since
he had protested to be broke only two
weeks before.
