ALMOST PERPETUAL MOTION
WATER RAISED By POWER OF
STREAMS CURRENT.
A Device Chiefly Valuable for Irriga-
tion-Wonder of
Simplicity.
Tuesdays Dairy Gazette.

F ~~S~N OSAAJ
A representative of The Gazette
was driven down to the upper bridge
by Senator Gruwell yesterday for the
purpose of witnessing the workings of
a current pump or water raiser, the
invention of a gentleman with whom
Mr.. Gruwell is interested.
The pump comes as near being the
solution of the problem OF perpetual
motion as The Gazette man has ever
seen. 1t is fixed to the end of a boat
of about eight by sixteen feet in di-
mansions and the boat is securely
fastened to the bank by a half-inch
cable. The pump or water raiser is
attached to the end of the boat and
resembles a rudder somewhat, only
being larger. 1t is operated entirely
by the action Of the current and at
every dip of the walking beam ap-
paratus enough water is raised to a
height of IL feet to fill a four inch
pipe. The motion is constant as we'll
and there is no intermission in the
flow.
The practicability of the machine
will be found in it's application to the
question o. irrigation. The present
machine is capable of raising suf-
ficient water to- irrigate 80 or 40 acres
end a larger one would raise a proper
%tionately large quantity. Senator Cru
we'll owns a half-interest in the de-
vice and the man who invented it
informed him yesterday that he had
been Offered $4,000 for his half in
terest. To appreciate the working Of
the pump it should be seen.

Time Is Now Quite Short for secur.
ing Accommodations.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
w. M. Purvis, secretary of Billings
Lodge No. 1894, B. P. o. E., requests
that all members of the lodge and Wis.
iting Elks in this vicinity who intend
to attend the National meeting of the
order and carnival to be held at Salt
Lake in August to register their
names with him at once at the First
National bank.
The time is getting short as August
9 and 10 / the dates on which the
Billings visitors will be compelled to
start, and time must be given to- Sc
cure sleeping a accommodations. If
this matter is neglected until near
the time for starting it will be an i'm
possibility to secure the accommoda-
lions as the Pullman company's sur
plus accommodations will be used up.
Requests from all parts of the coun-
try are already coming for special
cars. 1t is hoped that enough Billings
Elks will register to fill a car, as no
n who has the time to spare can
hardly afford to miss this trip. The
round trip rate from Billings is only
$22.15.

CHILD KNOCKED FROM RAILS.
Is Struck by Locomotive and Escapes
With Only Slight Injury.

Butte, July 15.-Mary Sheehan,
about Z years old, was knocked from
the track of the Northern Pacific by
a locomotive at South Butte this af-
ternoon, but escaped without
serious injury than a slight shaking
up.
The child was sitting on n of the
rails apparently oblivious to the ap-
proach Of the iron horse. The train
crew did not see her. The locomotive
was running slowly. After being
knocked from the rail the girl got up
and walked to her home, a short dis
lance from the scene, where she was
attended by DIR. Donald Campbell. She
was not injured to any extent, the ply
stefan not finding it necessary to pre-
scribe for her.

PASSED BOGUS MONEY.
Thomas Sullivan Believed to Be the
Age~t of a Gang.

Butte, July 15.-Thomas Sullivan,
together with John Tighe, Thomas
Holly and John Doe, was arrested at
the cabin, 705 Wyoming alley, yester-
day afternoon by Officers McGillie,
Gervais and Teeney on the charge of
passing spurious coin. When search
ed at the police station several coun.
terfeit dollars and quarters were
found upon Sullivan, and he will be
held under the charge.
1t is alleged that Sullivan passed,
or ~endeavored to pass, a bogus dol
lar at the Great Northern saloon, 815
Utah avenue, yesterday afternoon,
and it is believed that he is RESPONSE
BILE for the circulation of counterfeit
quarter dollars among small shop
keepers on East Park street a few
days ago. His arrest followed a
description furnished by Louis Wer-
len. the proprietor of the Great North
ern saloon. He will be held for an
examination by the federal author
tiles. 1t is not believed at present
that the three men arrested with Sui
livan had any direct interest in the
passing of the spurious coin, but as
they occupied the cabin with him
they were escorted to the city Jail
at the same time.
The officers believe that in Sullivan
they have under arrest the leader of
a gang of counterfeiters or their
agent and every effort will be made
to ferret oct the origin of the bogus
money. "

Fort Benton, July 15.-The wool

they deducted percentages in weights
from the wool ON account of dampness.
Large quantities are coming in and it
is not likely that any important clips
will be offered until the market looks
