Novels without End.

1t is recorded as something remark
able that a Japanese novelist has COM
pleted Il story which occupies ninety
volumes. Such a work would seem
rather long if one had to review it, but
there are possibilities in the very long
novel. One very we'll known writer
has frequently said that if he We're en-
tirely free he would select a group of
characters and at the end of two years
would have produced a tale dealing
with all that happened to them in a
single twelvelnonth. In the next two
years he would carry matters on for
another twelve months. and so on to
the end. 1t is not incredible that he
might do this with complete success,
for where a man has written seriously
he very often leaves his characters at
the end of the book in such relations
that they cannot go on living in the
world without helping to make another
and an interesting story.-London Post.

Tanning Done by x Rays.

BY a new process it is claimed that
leather can be tanned by X rays. The
hides will be soaked about four days in
lime to separate the fibers and remove
the hair, as is now done. Then they
will be soaked for about two hours in a
solution of certain chemicals. a part of
the invention. Then they will be placed
on a highly polished steel plate. There
for twenty minutes their entire sur
face will be exposed to the X rays diff
fused from three tubes. Then the hides
will be ready for the finishing into en-
amel, patent leather or other desired
article. What has always been accom-
plished in not less than four months by
soaking the hides in chemical solutions
can. it is claimed, be accomplished in
twenty minutes by exposure to the x
rays. The cost of tanning will be there
by greatly reduced.

Not q park, but Il wilderness full of

One even comes to b%cgrudge this will
derness its telephone poles, it's roads
and the excellent stone entertainments
which keep them from slipping down
tile mountain sides into the swift
streams below, for they detract from
its wild perfection. We may behold
nature in its softer and more comely
aspects almost everywhere, but every
year, with the spread of population
in our country. it becomes more diff
cult to preserve genuine wilderness
places where hill and forest and stream
have been left exactly as nature made
them. Already our indomitable pio-
neers have driven the wilderness into
the very Businesses of the mountains,
SO that only remnants now remain. And
this great Yellowstone park remnant
has been fortunately set aside by the
government for the enjoyment and in
spiration of the people forever.-Ray

the newspapers published in these
counties are read by thousands Of
readers every day, and not a line
printed in them escapes attention. The
advertisements they contain are at
first probably forced upon the reader.
Their insistence in appearing in every

the habit of reading them is formed,
and they are perused with the same
interest and thought that are be-

This is the difference between ad-

if ultimately decided to be correct,
would give our contentious neighbor
control of the upper portion OF the

NORTHERN PACIFIC HAS "klD"
CURRY FRIGHT.
A ROBBERY WAS PLANNED
Unusual Precautions Taken to With
stand Threatened Attack BY
Road Agents.

Missoula, Sept. "a party composed
of Northern Pacific detectives and
eastern Montana sheriffs, all heavily
armed, arrived in the city on a combi-
nation train early this morning and
after an interview with Sam Cohen at
the Jail, during which time their horses
were fed and watered at a local liv-
cry stable, they left for the eastern
part OF the state again on the train
which leaves Missoula at s:55
o'clock.
While none of the members of the
posse would deny that he was on the
track of train robbers, he refused to
tell the object of the quest.
Among those in the party were De-
tectives o. e. Goddard, Joseph Hine-
man, Batten and McFetridge, and
Sheriffs o. A. Fallang of Big Timber,
Robertson Of Livingston and George
Hubbard Of Billings.
1t was plain to be seen that the
party had evidence that there is a

the road. 1t was rumored here today
that they believe kid" Curry to be in

strength by the fact that they asked

The party had no sooner arrived in

the members to return at once to
eastern Montana. This would make it
appear that they were either on the
wrong track when they came here or
else that they came her for the ex-
press purpose of trying to learn some
thing from Cohen.

7 RAPs BROTHER.

BROTHER RAPs BROTHER.
Last month a Missouri editor, o. p.
Sturm, arrived in Billings and spent
several weeks visiting his brother,
Alderman George Sturm, one of the
city's fathers. Whenever the desire
to write something" became too
strong to be longer controlled, which
was quite frequently, he would regale
the readers of the Saline County In
dex, the newspaper of which he is the
editor and manager, with communica-
tions bearing the Billings date line.
In the main they were readable and
interesting to those for whose special
benefit they were written, notwith-
standing that they occasionally mani
tested a decided weakness for indul-
gence in the perpendicular pronoun.
Upon his return home Mr.. Sturm
made Montana VS.. Missouri" the sub
ject of an editorial, a leader, in his
paper, protesting to base his remarks
upon his own observations and ex-
p%erience in the two commonwealth.
He made several brave attempts to
toss a few verbal bouquets at Montana
but he could not overcome his sorrow
and Indignation at what he is pleased
to characterize our perseverance," and
immortality" consequently his efforts
failed, Notwithstanding his good inten-
tions. Whether it was his offended
morality, lack OF fraternal regard or
absence of fear of brotherly anger
compelled by the knowledge that dis
lance gave safety, The Gazette is not
prepared to say, but all must agree
that the following from the editorial
referred to is rather a hard slap at
the Billings representative OF the
Sturm family, who, because OF his
position as one of the city's officials,
cannot wholly deny responsibility for
the existence of the things and insti-
buttons that so grievously offended
his more moral and sensitive frater.

THAT BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

THAT BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Unless something occurred to cause
a delay, the commission expected to
settle the boundary dispute between
this country and Canada is now en-
gagged in it's important work-the first
session was to have been held yester-
day in the British foreign Office,
which will continue to be the meeting
place of the commission until it shall
finally adjourn.
In accordance with a treaty con-
cluded between the United States and
Great Britain last January the COM
mission was created. This country
named Secretary Root, Senator Lodge
ard Senator Turner as it's commission
ers, while England selected Lord AL
Version, Sir Louis Jette Of Quebec and
A. B. Aylesworth. In addition to the
commissioners a large number of law
yers will take part in the proceedings,
each side having retained several OF
the ablest attorneys at it's command.
1t is an old dispute that is submit
ted to the commission, but not until
after the discovery OF immense guam
titles of gold in the Klondike did it
assume the proportions of a serious
contention, although since 1872 Can
| ada has been striving to secure. a set
Element, always favorable to itself,
and the Dominion has demanded hat
the mother country shall force the

it's claims. Not much attention was
paid by England tx Canada's demands
until 1898, when a joint high com
mission OF Americans and English
men undertook to unravel the diff

ure Of then brought about the exist
ence of the present commission.
While much of the disputed terri
tory is conceded to be rich in min
erals, Canada's chief desire is to Sc
ure an easier access to the gold re-
gions admittedly within Canadian ter
ritory than it now possesses, America
controlling the coas and a number OF
inlets which it would be particularly
valuable for Canada to own.
In 1925, when Russia was the own
err of Alaska, a treaty was entered
into between Russia and England by
which it was agreed that the boundary
line between Russian and British pos
sessions should be a line drawn paral-
lei to the SlnuOSltleS OF the coast.

miles, from the coast, giving to Rus

cepted by Great Britain and was eve

ton of Alaska by purchase from Rus.

POWER OF

Admitting that much that is prac-
ticed in connection with its manifesto
ton and application is spurious and
the work of charlatans and mounte-
banks, still the fact remains that hyp-
notism is one of the forces of the
mental world and is susceptible of use
in effecting material things and OBJ
jects. Excellent proof of this is fur
who recently visited Billings and sur
rounding towns of this and Carbon
counties. The gentleman did not adj
vertise himself as possessed of
that occult power, neither did he put
subjects under the influence of his
will and expose them in public places,
as many hypnotists are wont to do, but
for all that he exercised his subtle
power over not a few, and with good
profit to himself and the concern un-
der whose management he is touring
the country. With him the employ
ment of hypnotic force was but the
means to an end. He was agent for
a directory publishing house and the
mental force at his command was
used in compelling patronage Of the
advertising space he had to sell. That
he succeeded well a glimpse of the
book that was distributed after his
departure will establish. 1t contains
whole g Of advertisements, while
the covers themselves are divided into
segments that are occupied by the an
nouncements of firms that they have
certain things to sell. The tops,
sides and bottoms of the pages are
utilized for the same purpose, and if
any available space remains that
could have been filled in the same
manner it is because a list of those
possible of being hypnotized had be-
come exhausted.
In assuming that they were for the
time being brought under the influ-
ence of the canvasser's superior men
tai power, The Gazette exercises the
limit of charity and ~neighborly regard,
for it gives the business firms of Car
bon and Yellowstone counties credit
for the possession of too much sense
and good business Judgment to sup.
pose that they really thought they
would profit by that kind of advertis-
ing. The agent merely took advan.
tage of conditions and circumstances
and walked off with contracts duly
signed, warranted to stand the test
of the law and the courts. Only on
this hypothesis can explanation of the
phenomenon be made. No modern,
alert business man can be induced
to believe, when in his normal state
Of mind, that directory advertising
holds out any hope of reward. Once
npon a time it was popularity believed
that it did, but that fallacy, along
with many others of ancient days, has
been exploded long ago. The modern
advertiser recognized but one safe
