Our Wheat Prospects.

". s. Harwood. in Scribner's Magazine
The fear which was quite recently ex-
pressed in scientific circles in Great Britain
that the end of our capacity TO raise the
greatest of all cereals. wheat, was already
in sight, had in it much TO disturb The
specter of ultimate starvation for a very
large number of the race, however, seems
TO have been laid for all time by the in
vestigations which have been carried on
for the past decade at one of the stations
i'm the great wheat region of the North
west. This station. a department OF the
School OF Agriculture in connection with
the University of Minnesota. has been at
work testing old varieties Of wheat and
creating new ones Wheat. self-fertilizing
grain, goes on reproducing itself through
anv number OF centuries. The grain OF pre-
Adamic periods would. IL planted through

same wheat grown in that far time So TO
produce a new wheat, man must come TO

JUDGMENT OF PARIS. y


Butte Inter Mountain.
Paris was the good-looking son of the
King of Troy. and it was because of his
doings that the Trojan war was declared
and waged for seven years, resulting in
a general cleaning out of combatants and
the destruction Of 1.-The topless towers OF
Hium."
1t was on Mount Ida. when he was still
a shepherd boy, that Juno. Venus and
Minerva came to Paris with the golden
apple and asked him TO judge OF their
respective beauty and award the apple ito
the fairest." 1t was a delightful and yet
a delicate commission, but Paris did not
shrink from the responsibility. Juno Of
fered him the bride of power, Minerva
glory and Venus promised him the fairest
woman in the world. Venus received the
prize, and, true to her word. leaving her
own charms out of the balance, gave the
fair Helen into his keeping. There is no
use 10 rake up old personalities further
than to say that Paris had no right to
Helen, for she was already the wife OF
Menelaus. The Trojan war was the result
and Paris fell pierced by the unerring arrow
of hostile bowman.
Is Paris Gibson, United States senator
from Montana, also interested in judging
as to the beauty of women, and if so is IL
due to his present Washington environ
ment? We are moved to this inquiry by a
letter which Mr. Gibson has written from
Washington to lady of his home town OF
Great Falls, the president of the Travellers
Club of that place, in which he recommends
a woman lecturer TO the club and advises
that she be engaged to lecture on the sub
ject of The Commercial Value of Beauty.
1t is an important and a fascinating
theme. but ii would seem, at this distance,
that it would be more interesting and I'M
portant in Washington than in Great Falls.
While beauty is not despised In Great
Falls, or anywhere. else in Montana, as
Suredly it is more of a commercial PROPOSE
ton in Washington, where its value Is
known and acknowledged in the dine OF
lobby work, for example
Possibly Senator Paris Gibson does not
realize the dangerous ground upon which
he is treading and inviting his fellow-c iti-
zens of Montana to follow him. peril
lies In this golden apple business. This
modern Paris may be bringing on another
war in which some Montana Hector may
be slain by another Achilles and dragged
thrice around the walls of Great Falls.
We have but to recall the wreck and
the red fields of war created by Helen S
fatal gift of beauty to abstain from mix
our commercial affairs. Not only did the
beauty of this woman bring about the
ruin and slaughter at Troy, but in after
years DR.. Faust bartered his immortal
peared before him and her marvellous eyes
suddenly met his as he walked in his gar
dens, he was transfixed:
us this the face that launched a thousand
ships,
That burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen. make me immortal with a
kiss!
Her mouth sucks forth my soul!
See where it flies. "
Let Paris Gibson have a care.

OLAA TO HAVE
A RACE TRACK
Three Furlons Course Being Con-
structed-Carter Harrison a
Good Horse Now.

George Thomas. the trainer and jock
ey who came down from Hilo last
week, said yesterday that the sports
of OIaa are going TO build them race
track at Nine Miles. Among the pro-
motors Of the scheme are James
O'Rourke and MessrS- Koran, McStocA-
er. Clay and Thomas
The track will be three-eighthS OF a
mile in circumference, and % feet wide
1t has already been surveyed ana work
on 1t is probably well under way by
this time.
The Olaa japanese have taken very
kindly to horse racing and about 800
of them have volunteered to help build
the track 1t is expected that the track
will be in shape for racing by the fall.
IL is estimated that the new track and
stables will cost in the neighborhood
of $500.
Thomas is training Carter II. Harri-
son Jr., which is owned by j. O'Rourke.
The horse is looking uncommonly well
and is not the same animal that he
was when he was landed at Hilo a
year ago. Then he was all skin and
bones and looked as if his days on
the land were numbered. Today he is
the picture of a race horse.
Jockey Piggott, who used to exercise
him when Corrigan owned him in his
two-year-old days. says that he never
saw him looking so fat as he does now.
The trouble with him used to be that
1T was hard to get his bones covered
His trainer believes him to be better
today than ever before in his life.
Carter Harrison since arriving in
Hawaii has developed into a miller. In
the States he was accounted a SiX-fur-
long horse, and an exceedingly shifty
one at that. Over here he has shown
ability to go the route, and he will
probably oppose Weller in the race for
the Rosita Challenge cup. He occupies
the stall which last year sheltered Wa
tossa, 1.-The pride of the Portuguese"
a half-brother of his and owned by
Thomas. Carter Harrison Is a son of
imp. Watercress.
Thomas says that c. II. Judd will
be down in a boat or so with Dusty
a roam PAGER. for the slow
class. Neither Frank s., Dixie Land
nor Waterfall will make the trip across
the water this season.
Thomas thinks that the prospects for
the season are good and expects to see
many of the existing records in both
classes broken. He was surprised and
pleased to find the track in such ex-
cellent condition at this early stage of
the season.

BADLY BURNED AND
DIDN'T KNOW III

SALT LAKE. Utah. April ia spe-
says: p. l.. Schick is lying in a critical
condition at his home on Dry Creek,
near this city, suffering from burns.
The accident of which he is the victim
vas altogether remarkable, the most
astonishing feature of il being that Mr..
Sehick, sitting by the side of his wife
on the seat of his wagon, was burned
nearly to crisp without knowing that
anything was wrong
They were driving home from Boise.
AS they went down the hill near home.
Mrs Schick became aware that some
thing unusual was occurring. CHANGING
over her shoulder, she saw that the
wagon was on fire back of the seat.
The flames were being whipped eight
feet high by the wind and were swirl
ing from under the seat behind her
husband and burning his back.
Mrs. Schick slipped wooden shawl
from her shoulders and threw 1t around
her husband. dragging him from the
wagon. Mr.. Schick stoutly denied that
he was on fire and insisted that she de-
SYST. Mrs. Schick succeeded in smoIi-
ering the fire with her shawl.
1t is remarkable that Mrs. Schick's
clothing did not take fire. but the sup
POSITION is the wind held the fire on
her husbands side of the wagon. The
supports of the seat were nearly burned
off and the bottom had been burned out
of the wagon, the groceries bought in
town having been lost in the road.
The doctor summoned to attend the
sufferer reports he found that mis- en-
tire back was burned, one-half of 1T
feing burned to crisp, the burEi-g
being what the doctors call the third
degree. The front of his body was
blistered-burned in the first degree,
excepting a strip about ten inches wide |
exactly in front. Mr.. Schick insists he !
did not feel the fire.
There is no satisfactory explanation
of the reason why Schick did not feel |
the flames. DR.. Bowers. who attended |
him, and who gives the story, made |
inquiry. He found that Schick had
taken two or three drinks while In |
town, but was not drunk Again, he
had driven twelve miles. facing a stiff |
breeze, and the influence of the liquor
he did drink should have worn off. at |
least sufficiently to admit of his feeling
the flames. The doctor stated that the
case was an entire puzzle to him. He
Is at a loss to account for the facts as
ne found them.
