Pinkeye Makes Its Appearance.

Bozeman, July 2.-There are a num-
Der of cases of pinkeye among the
horses in this vicinity. This disease

recovery is quick.

cal Society has prepared a model bird law

Matches Use Up Forests.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

FROM the tnlcagO chronicle.
In the United States alone some 1000 600
feet of pine lumber are used every year
for matches, or the equivalent OF the pro-
duct Of 400 acres OF good virgin forest
About GO 0O0. 900 crossties are now laid on
American railroads and $4,000. 600 new ties
are required annually for renewals The
amount of timber used every year for ties
alone Is equivalent to 5000, 1000, 900 feet of
lumber. There are now standing nearly
100000 telegraph poles. The average life
OF a telegraph pole is about ten years. SO
that nearly 100000 new poles are required
every year for renewals. These figures do
not include telephone poles and the poles
required on new railroad lines
The total annual consumption of timber
Tor ties and poles Is equivalent to the
amount Of timber grown on 10000 acres
or good virgin forest. For making shoe
pegs the amount OF wood used In a single
year is equal to the product OF fully 1900
acres of good second growth hardwood
land. Lasts and boot trees require at
least 100000 cords more. Most newspaper
and packing paper Is made from wood
Although this industry has been developed
only within the last forty years, yet the
amount OF wood consumed for paper dur
ing that time has been enormous. The
total annual consumption of wood for
paper pulp 10 equivalent to over 500. 600. 900
board feet OF timber, for which II would
be necessary. were the trees all growing
together, to cut some $1,000 acres Of prime
woods.

THE CHASTITY BIRD.
Plumage on Fall Millinery and
Thoughtless Women.

From the New York Tribune.
IF they even had beauty to recommend
them.' said Mr.. Chapman, mournfully. 1t
was Frank M. Chapman, chairman of the
executive committee of the New York State
Audubon Society, and he was speaking of
the new fall hats, which are to be "All
Birds with capital letters.
Large, slightly upturned brims are to
be completely faced with a mass of little
birds. dozen or two to a hat Large
birds with outspread wings will cover
crowns, and breasts and plumage will curl
from front to back. Even boas will show
rows Of tiny birds nesting in beds Of chif-
fon.
To inquiries as to whether the Audubon
Societay would take cognizance OF these
ut depends entirely upon the kind of
birds offered for SALE If they are New
York state birds We will Immediately ar
rest and prosecute. II they are not New
York state birds we can do nothing. Each
society can only enforce the laws of its
own state. That matter was thoroughly
ent bird protective law. The old law made
1t misdemeanor to be found with a dead
bird Of New York state in ones posses
sion. They got out of this by the techni-
cality that the birds skin was not the
bird; so that even when We caught taxi
dermist on Long Island handed, prepar-
ing quantity OF birds for the trade, he
was able to go scot free on this bubble. So
we got the law amended to read bird or
part Of a bird Then the question arose
as to whether this would not render any
woman wearing bird liable to arrest and
as we did not wish to bring the movement
into ridicule we amended further by adding
the words for commercial purposes
THAT settles the matter for the dealers
II they are caught with any portion of a
New York state bird in their possession,
even the head or the wing or the bill. they
will be prosecuted. They understand that
perfectly well. and do not think would
handle any such goods. It may seem as IL
this were very inadequate protection,
owing to territorial limitations But the

The conditions for shooting this morning
at 200 wards were very good, the light on
the targets being excellent A strong
puffy wind was blowing, which made it a
hard proposition to land many bulls eyes.
The weather was threatening, though, and
just previous to the starting of the match
a light rain fell.

during the 20O-yard stage, but the spec

of the District boys in the RegimentaI
Team and Company Team matches were
features Of the day on the firing line. While
the conditions were not so good as on the

strong northeast breeze was stirring across
the range at all times.
In the afternoon the firing was resumed at
500 yards in both the matches and proved to
be more interesting TO the spectators than
during the morning hours. The firing line
was well patroniZed at all times and the

Stop and Rest.

Vacations are necessity. In our high-pressure civilization they have q place in every wiSely-regulated life. A year of labor and a month of rest is a sane and economical use of energy. With rest should go a change of envi- ronmont, of scenery and climate. For hard workers, and for women and chil@ dren, the object of vacation should be to develop physical resources and in- crease the power Of resistance to fa- tigue: and for this the bracing air of the seaside and the tonic effects of salt water baths are invaluable. There is a charm in the summer days at Long Beach, at Santa Monica, or at Santa Catalina, and month there or else- where by the salt water is good in vestment, and should be counted pars of the years expenses. If you desire facts and details, any agent of the Southern Pacific will furnish you book let or folder and point out the desirable resorts and places of recreation all up and down the coast or in the mountains of California. Ask for resort litera- ture, or send ten cents for a vopy of "Sunset," finely illustrated maga- zine. But take trip to the coast and you will come back to work with new Tigor.
