guard not now in Cripple Creek to be in
readiness TO take the field II had been

1t is presumed the troops are to be held
III readiness to proceed to coal camps
where miners will go on strike next Mon
day under orders from the national execr-
tive officers of the United Mine Workers

Adjutant General Bell has announced
his intention of recruiting the national
guard mp to 5000 men.
News from Trinidad is to the effect
that the exodus of miners to other coal
fields has set in. A number have pur-
chased tickets to points in Texas, Indian
territory, Missouri and Illinois. Many
Italians and Austrians are arranging to
leave for Europe.

Monday will be treated as strikers. The
strike will be on, to all intents and pur-

FORCED TO KNEEL
UNDER THE WHIP
HEINZE is MAKING HIS MEN SIGN
PETITION URGING lEGtSlA-
TURE NOT TO MEET.
THREE REASONS ADVANCED
Preposterops Grounds Given by M. Q. p.
People--Men Sign Rather Than
Lose Their Positions.

In desperate effort TO Offset the dc
mand OF practically the whole state for
an extra session OF the Legislature to enact
a law to relieve the abnormal and disgrace.
ful condition Of the judiciary, +. Aug
Heinze today is cnticing his employees into
signing a so-called remonstranee. directed
to -rh-sovernor, against the extra session
Copies of the remonstra,ice are beng
circulated among the Hcihze properties,
both mines and smelters and III the other
industries and businesses which Hcitzc
controls.
As might be expected, the documents are
receiving many signatures The men,
whatever their individual opinions, think
it best to sign the rcmonstrancc and hold
their jobs than to refuse and join the
great body of unemployed.
Three Grounds.
The remonstrances, all of which are
practically the same in text urge no extra
session on three grounds: First that it
would be a heavy expense on the taxpay-
ers; second. that il would not relieve tile
situation, and third. that it would so in
cumber the statute books thai il would re
qure further legislation aud thereby
harass succeeding legislatures. -
As every intelligent man knows, these
are all futile arguments. The total cx-
pense OF a session lasting six days-which
is an ample allowancc--would not be more
than one.third one days payroll in Butte
when the Amalgamated properties are
open.
That a special session would relieve the
situation is well known. Mr.. Scallon's
promise TO open mp the Amalgamated
ag ls lppiclatiVe
secured makes that absolute.
Simply False.
The third argument is simply malicious
falsehood. What the state needs is law
which will insure fair and unprejudced
trials One act OF the legislature is
enough for that.
No more were needed in the majority OF
the states of the union where such 4 law
prevails; 10 more will be needed i'll Mon
taila.

No Perpetual Snow.

A recent writer made the mistake of
referring to all arctic lands as tucked
in under their everlasting blanket OF
snow" We know, however, Of no land
area lying near the sea level that Is
perpetually covered with snow.
Mr.. Peary, the only visitor to the
most northern land yet discovered,
found flowers and grass there, and
killed arctic game that had fattened
on the herbage Of the islands lying
north of the extreme northern coasts
Of Greenland. Spitzbergen is one OF
the bleakest parts Of the world, yet
during the long summer day, when the
sun Is continuously above the horizon,
all the winter SHOWS along the south
ern valleys melt away up to $500 feet
above the sea-
Very little snow can be found in Ice
land in summer, the line of perpetual
snow being about 1000 feet on the
northern and 1000 feet on the south
ern side of the mountains. Along the
coast Of west Greenland the white
mantle Of winter disappears in summer
and grass and flowers are found to the
height of 1000 feet.
AS for the great arctic plains OF
the northern part Of this continent they
are, of course, entirely free from
snow during the summer months.
Vegetable life thus has chance in all
parts of the world, unless the eleva-
ton is so high above the sea that WIN
ter polar conditions are maintained the
year round.
There are, Of course, lofty eleva-
tions, such as mountains and the Ice
cap of Greenland, that are perpetually
covered with snow. Geographers have
given much attention to what is called
the snow line, or the line which marks
the limit of perpetual snow. Its posi-
ton is chiefly dependent upon the sum-
mer temperature and the depth Of the
winter snowfall. The line along which
the sun ceases TO melt the snow is the
snow line.
The snow line extends very irregu-
larly along most surfaces because
many mountain valleys, canyons and
slopes are shielded from the sun, and
are so covered the year around far be-
low the general snow line. This is not
the case, however. in tropical regions,
where there is little difference in tenn
l,erature throughout the year below the
attitudes where frost always reigns.
The result is that in the tropics the
snow line on the mountains is COM
paratively straight line.-Chicago In

to explaining our reason for not doing

supply the present demand and have
thus been in position to supply the
wants Of friends and customers just as
satisfactorily as II the goods" had
just arrived from one of the wholesale
markets, and in the second place long
experience has taught us that farmers,
as a rule, do not care to buy stock
very long before they are ready to put
1t to work, and owing to the fact that
corn, oats and hay are cheaper In the
west than in this section, We felt that
1t would also pay us as well as our
customers to let the westerners con-
tinue to feed their stock until nearer
bell-cord pulling-time. Do not fail to
store this fact away in your mind.
We will have the stock. the quality,
price, terms and GUARANTEE will be
all that honest business principles can
warrant. If you need stock right
away. we are satisfied that we have
something in our barn that will suit
