New Method Adopted.

A new method of packing apples
has been tried this year in the han
ding of the early crop in the Bitter
Root which promises to do away
with much of the contention that has
heretofore existed between the or
chard men and the commission mer-
chants. The commission men have
sent into the orchards their own
packers, and the packing and ship
ping has been done under their direct
supervision. They have culled the
fruit and packed it in way that
makes it most marketable. The re-
suit has been that the apples have
been received in the market in a
shape that is satisfactory to the deal
ers. This means that there will be
no kick from the dealers about the
quality of the fruit. The orchard
men, on the other hand, if they are
sincere and desire to do the right
thing, can learn something about
packing that will be to their advan-
tage. From what reports have been
received it is judged that the new
plan is giving satisfaction to all par
ties concerned.

articles left the young husband and
hotel and went up to Wilson's depart
ment store to get them. She returned
shortly and made her way up stairs
to the door she thought opened into
her own room. Knocking softly at
the door, she called: Honey, let me
in" No response came, and she
knocked again and called in insinu-
ating tones: Honey, please let me
in" Madam" a gruff voice ans
wered from within, "this is no bee
hive; this is the bath room"

}. M. Harris Seriously Hurt by Fall
ina Down a Shaft.

]. M. Harris, the well known AL
tyn mining man, met with a serious
and probably fatal accident at his
mine near that place. last Wednes-
day, by falling 7S feet to the bottom
of a shaft. Mr.. Harris was descend
ing the shaft in a bucket, and when
at a distance of about rs feet from
the bottom, the wire rope broke and
he fell to the bottom. When found
he was unconscious, and it was
thought that he was dead, but for
tunately it proved otherwise and at
last accounts he was alive, though
painfully bruised. Strange to say
no bones were broken, but it is
thought he was injured internally.
Mr.. Harris was formerly a resident
of Kalispell but for several years has
made his home at Allyn where he is
interested in the famous Cracker
mine.

PROGRESSIVE RED MEN.
FIathead Indians Are Healthy,
Wealthy and Wise.

Wealthy and Wise.
Maj. w. H. Smead, who has charge
of the Indians on the Flathead reser-
walton in Missoula county, is in the
city for the purposes of enlightening
the United States grand jury on what
he knows about some grand larceny
and whiskey cases in which some of
the Indians of the reservation figure,
either as the parties of the first part
or second part. 1t is against the law
to either sell or give an Indian wills
ky or any other liquor having a ten
dency to make him see double or
slash his friends or supposed enc
mics with tomahawk. There are
persons who do not know this, or,
knowing it, are willing to take a
chance on sale.
A few weeks ago a Frenchman sold
some Indians whisky, and a United
States marshal took him in out of the
wet. He is now in Jail at Kalispell,
and before the grand jury, now in ses-
sion in this city, completes its labors
his case will have been investigated.
Major Smead is a witness in the
case
Mr.. Smead says there are about
LOO Indians on the Flathead reser-
walton, and nearly nine-tenths of
them are self sustaining.
There are now only about 200 who
draw rations at the agency" says he,
"and their wants are not great. Many
of those who support themselves are
wealthy, having accumulated their
possessions by way of the cattle and
stock raising industry, for which bus
mess there is no better country on
the face of the globe. In addition
to raising stock and cattle they grow
fruit and raise all the products the
earth is capable of producing. They
are expert ranchers and apt pupils
in the matters of husbandry and gen.
eral topics of the day. They like to
read and study the white mans hab-
its. Many Of them are well versed on
all subjects and can talk politics with
a knowledge of the subject that
would make a professional think at
least three times before pronouncing
the Indian the white mans burden"
While the major was talking an In
dian, also called from the reservation
to testify in a case in which a white
man is accused of fracturing the laws
of the land in regard to the rights
of his people, was industriously reau-
ing a newspaper near him.
Say" said the major, pointing to
him, there is specimen of our pro-
gressive Indian. He is wishing up on
the political situation now, and
when he gets back to the reservation
he will tell his people how the whole
thing is working. I am afraid within
short time the whole tribe under
my care will become so thoroughly
civilized and trained in the art of
self support that there will be no
furher need of a reservation
Standard.

MONT PELEE REGION
SHOULD BE EVACUATED
This Is the Conclusion Reached by the
French Scientific Commission
Which Has Investigated.

PARIS, Sept. 13.-The French sci
entific commission was was sent to
Martinique to study the situation caus-
ed by the eruption of Mont Pelee has
drawn up second report, saying:
'There is no longer any doubt that
the evacuation of the entire Mont Pc
lee region, which we did not consider
indispensable a month ago, should now
be carried out. Until the volcanic dis
turbances have ceased the southern
limits of the mountain ought to be
watched, especially if it is demonstrat-
ed that the last eruption was due to a
new crater in the lateral fssure."
The report concludes by dwelling on
the danger Of tidal waves inundating
Fort de France.

LONDON, Sept. lathe reports of
commissioners of prisons published to-
day shows an unprecedented increase
in crime in the United Kingdom. There
were 1913 more prisoners sentenced
to Imprisonment during the year end
ing March 81, 1901, than in the previous
year. The commissioners find 1t impos-
sible to assign specific cause for the,
increase, as it is distributed generally
throughout the country, and they hold
out no hope of decreasing the average.
The report Of the London county
council published this week furnishes
some striking figures Indicating the
immensely of the municipal problems
with which the London authorities are,
confronted.
According to the census of 1901, the
population Of the administrative coun-
ty of London was 4,536,541, while
Greater London Immediately surround
ing the county showed an additional
population of 100000.
The 9unacy statistics of the admin
istrative county show an Increase of
80 per cent in the last ten years, the.
total number of lunatics being 21,36S,
for which drink and business and
domestic troubles were accounted to be
largely responsible.
Housing the People.
The London county council has to
maintain 2,017 miles of paving, large
section of which is in a constant state
of upheaval owing to the number of
gas, electric and water companies hav-
ing the power to open roadWays. The
problem of housing the working people
is dealt with on a large scale, the
council acting as landlord to a popula-
ton of 1886 housed in cottages, block
dwellings and various other structures.
The years working showed net sur
plus of $11,565 for these dwellings,
compared with a deficit of $5,785 for
the previous year. The council is a
large owner of omnibus and street car
lines, which carried last year over
118,000,000 passengers, while all the
lines of Greater London showed the
enormous total of 530,000,000 passen-
gers.
The city's debt statistics show dis
couraging increase, the total debt out
standing being 1921 ,344,355, equivalent
to 124.98 per cent of the rateable value,
against 104.64 per cent when the Lon
don county council came into exist
ence The tax rate now amounts to
about 361h cents per pound sterling.

of art, point out that while American
collectors formerly bought single OBJ
jects, like their European rivals, the
later American generation Of million
aires buys entire collections at once
at prices utterly excluding European
bidders. Such buying, the director will
say, gives the purchaser a guarantee
of the genuineness of the objects, since
they were gathered by painstakine
connoisseurs.
Director Angst attributes this limo
walton to the rapid creation of Ameri-
can milNnaires through the recent
great trusts and refers to J. P. Nor
gans purchase for 100000 Of Mann
helms famous collection of majolicas,
Fayences bronzes, ETC., in Paris. Such
purchases, the director asserts, are an
irreparable loss for Europe. He admits
that Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Carnegie and
others will either open their collections
to the public or give them outright to
museums saying:
"The liberality with which rich
Americans treat the museums of their
country throws into the shade every
thing hitherto seen in Europe"
Director Angst refers to the enor
nous advance in prices through Ameri
can buying, particularly mentioning
old Zurich porcelains.

Loose.

tary Shaw today issued the following
statement:
Secretary Shaw has made arrange
ments to release about 100000 of the
treasury holdings. He has had a list pre-
pared of those national banks throughout
the country which held free or pledged
bonds at the date of their last report,
and has made inquiry for others. After
making allowance for changed conditions
since last report he expects this will
release at least $4,000,0O0. He has sent
notice to all such that if they will send
these bonds to the treasurer of the
United States in sums of $4,000 or more
they will be designated as temporary
depositaries, and the face value of the
bonds will be deposited with them to
the credit of the treasurer of the Unit
ed States.
He has also decided to anticipate the
October interest, amounting to about
$4,200,000.
