"Onc of the youngest members of the

Montana, at the Hotel Barton, will be
Joseph M. Dixon of Mssoula, who is
scarcely past thirty.
Mr.. Dixon landed in our State from
North Carolina about nine years ago,
knowing no one, and without dollar in
his pocket. He had the riSnt sort of
stuff in him, and by the exercise of stern
frugality was enabled to gain admittance
TO the bar. He rose rapidly in his pro-
fession, and, the Republicans recognize
ing his merit and ability, nominated him
for Congress, to which he was elected by
a majority of 5000 votes"

A BROKEN EGG SHELL
AnEasternRep sviews
on Election of Senator.
He Insists That Straight or Crooked the Nom;-
nation is due 10 the East and Priichard
Should b. Dump d.

A noted downeast Republican yester-
day at the depot was talking TO a re-
porter who asked him what he thought
about Pritchard's being chosen by the
Republicans as their candidate for tho
Senate.
oh" he said, Il think Senator Pritch-
ard ought to retire now and give some
body else q chance"
Well" said the reporter. '"why do
you think Pritchard- should retire and
whom do you think the Republicans
should select?"
Il think Pritchard ought to retire be-
cause two years ago Pritchard sent his
revenue agent, Patterson, down here to
Raleigh from Greensboro to lobby with
the Republican members of the Legis-
lature TO take that honor from eastern
Republicans to whom the empty honor
rightly belonged and to give it to Hon
Rich. Pearson in order to boost him for
a foreign appointment. This the mem
bers of the Legislature did, although
they had made up their minds differently
until Patterson and Pearson appeared on
the scene.
Now the western part of the State
has had two Republican nominee for
Senator for the last two years and east
crn Republicans have had no representa-
ton in Washington. This time it would
be but fair for Senator Pritchard to
retire and let some eastern man be
Pelected.
But said the reporter, 81 asked
YOU whom should they select?''
oh; yes" said he, that is just what
/ was thinking about. Let me see?
That depends on what you want If it
is straight goods, you are after, 3nere
are Judge Cooke, Judge Robinson, Mr..
Bernard, Major Grant and others: if you
want the Independent mixture, there are
Judge Hill, Col. Andrews, Bill Day,
Fab. Busbee, Col. Meekins Col Duncan.
Major Hancock and the like: if you are
looking for Mugwumps, there are Gov
ernor Russell Col. Harris. ex-senator
Butler. Col. skinner. DR.. Cy and the
like, who can be all things to all par
ties"
ooh, we have plenty of them. Any
kind you want, just pay your money and
take your choice-but we are entitled
this time to have the Senator from the
east and you will hear from us if we
don't get him. There is my train and |
must 60"
And off went the eastern Republican,
not realizing that we have recently had
an election in this State and that it is
only broken egg shell that is left in
the Republican barn-yard to be cackled
over.

proper thing" With primaries and cleo

Australian system there is absolute fair
ness and honesty. 10 bosses unless the

without doubt, the proper thing, and in

GROWTH OF OUR IRON TRADE.
The Output of This Country Now Elk.
ceeds That of Germany and
England Together.

The development Of the iron industry
of the United States has been marked
with surprises. From complete de-
pendence upon the old world the cOun-
try has leaped to a prominence so
complete that even its rivals believe
and tremble.
In the great railroad building period
Of 1902 England furnished the rails
and other materials at prices two OF
three times above those which are now
deemed abnormally high. Then Eng
land produced three times as much
iron and steel as the United States
Since then Germany has challenged the
supremacy of Great Britain and passed
her in decade of remarkable growth
And yet in the current year 1902 the
United States of America will produce
more iron than England and Germany
combined. Indeed, there is q margin
Of excess to spare about equal to the
product of France.
If we add to this statement another
fact, says the Engineering Magazine
that even this vast product is not suf.
fcient for home requirements and that
the United States is to-day, in spite OF
a stiff tariff. the best customer in iron
and steel that Europe has, credulity is
taxed to the limit

oil Well in Kentucky That spOutl
Only Once Each Year Is Puzzle
to Oil Men.

There is an old oil well near Payne
creek. six miles from BarbourSville
XIV. which is puzzle to the oil men
Of the country. The well, which is now
in the middle of the creek, flows regu-
larly every November, but never at
any other time of the year. During
this month it flows at intervals, dis
charging great streams of oil, gas and
salt water and suddenly stops to flow
no more until November comes around
again.
This strange well was drilled in 1910
on the bank near Payne Greek, by old
settlers, who were after salt water.
from which to obtain their salt. The
machinery used at that date was of the
crudest nature, yet the drillers sue
ceeded in getting down $50 feet, when
to their establishment and dismay, they
struck an immense stream of oil which
flowed for days and weeks.
In the course of time the bed of the
creek changed, until, at this day, it
flows over the top of the old well
Since then during every November the
water over and around the hole bOils
up through the force of escaping gas
As far back as the people in the
neighborhOOd can recollect the well
has made these annual eruptions. This
year the disturbance came somewhat
earlier than usual, attracting more
than ordinary attention, owing, doubt
less. TO the fact that oil men are Oper-
ating in that section of the country. At
times during the recent eruption wa

The Study of Man in Asia.

Prof. G. Frederick Wright, who re-
Gently made a trip across Asia for
scientific study, says one of the sur
prises of Siberia is its abundance of
public museums in which special at
tentiOn is devoted to anthropOlogy.
Since Asia has been regarded by
many as the original cradle Of man
kind, this preference for anthropo-
logical study is particularly interest
ing. Prof. Wright mentions a dozen
cities of Asiatic Russia, including
Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Minusinsk,
Tomsk, Tashkend and Tifiis, which
contain excellent museums, and he
says there is scarcely a town of TO-
