Mr.. GRlER's STRAWBERRIES
Are Likened to Edible Rubies with
Ambrosial Flavor.

In the ages that were somewhat
shadc,W7:d, when nature indulged her
own wild moods in man and the
world he trampled on, rather than
their dreams and futile efforts be-
came the unconscious prophets of our
own time-the alchemists. For cen
turtles they believed they could change
base metals into gold and silver.
Modern knowledge enables us to
the alchemists ever dreamed Of. To
turn iron into gold would indeed be
prosaic, but to transform a little run
ming vine, heavy black earth and in
sipid rain water into edible rubies,
with celestial perfume and ambrosial
flavor is indeed an art which appeals
to all mankind, and when art Mr.
Grier. who lives on the east side
about nine miles from here, seems
to have mastered The fancy varie-
ties of which Mr.. Grier has several
are the Glen Mary, the Crescent and
| Warfield's Earliest. 1t is said the
crop is very good, and as long, there
| fore, as humanity's mouth waters at
the thought of such delicious NOR
sells, Mr.. Grier will have no difficulty
in disposing of all the berries he
brings to KaMspell.
If there was as much doubt about
the quality of the Kellogg varieties
of which Mr.. Grier has SO, as there
is concerning the origin of the name
of the bIry, the outlook would in
deed be dismal.
There are numerous theories ad-
vanced concerning the naming of this
most luscious fruit. One authority
claims ii was named from it's straw
like stems, another says "it is an
cd English practice to lay straw be-
,Seen the rows 20 preserve the fruit
from rOtting on the wet ground.
Although mors probably it is from
the wandering habit Of the plant
straw being the corruption of the
Anglo-Saxon strae. from which is de-
rived the English verb stray.
Again tradition asserts that in the
oldan times children strung the Der
ries on straws for sale and hence
the name, however people never
declua to eat this luscious fruit on
the ground of obscurity or doubt and
the numerous other varieties which
this famous berry grower has fol
sale are the Brllnetts, Seiferts and
VIM. Belt. The Enormous is by fan
the best producer, as it is stated by
Mr.. Grier that he has picked from
these plants seven times and there
is still good crop.
1t is quite safe to say that the Flat
head barry surpasses anything OF thu
kind raised in Montana, and Mr.
Grier's constant care of his plant:
has furnished for the Montanian
treat rich and rare.

the year before out west. Hargrave
was a good fellow, he said, and gener-
GUS, but limited that the mans private
life was not above reproach. When
pressed by me, he admitted that he had
heard some vague rumors of deserted
wife. He begged me not to mention
these matters to the others present and
said apologetically that he would not
have brought the man among us had it
not been that Hargrave had treated
him splendidly when they last met, and
he felt under obligations to him.

There followed a short silence except
for the cracking and suffering of the
logs. One man. the oldest of the seXtet,
increased his legs. rested his elbows on
his knees and his chin on his hands and
gazcd intently at the fire. He seemed
to succeed in conjuring up among the
glowing emberS the scenes and faces
he was seeking to recall, for shortly,
without changing his position except to
shove his feet a little nearer the blaze,
he began slowly and reminiscently:

He paused, and the others drew their
chairs closer, for he spoke in Il low
voice, and they were by this time deep
ly interested. The speaker did indeed
bear the honest reputation he had
claimed, and the idea of his being ac-
cused Of cheating at cards, even by
himself, seemed almost proclamation.
He never stirred from the position he
had assumed and after a moment or
two proceeded with his tale:

ROPE AROUND SPIvEY'S NECK
REPUBLICANS TAKE A TURN.
Met at Boston To-Day to Nominate
 State Ticket.

Boston, Oct 2.-In the same hall which was filled with democrats cheer ing to the echo the oratory of their leaders, the republicans of Massachu- setts met to-day to nominate their state ticket, to adopt platform for the coming campaign and to listen to the words of such speakers as the ven- erable Senator George F. Hoar and Secretary of the Navy William H. Moody.
 The assembly was large, the quota of delegates from all parts of the state being well filled. The proceedings, an ticipated as far as possible by the re- publican state committee, promises a smooth and expeditions transaction of business and the unanimous re-nomina- tion of Governor John l.. Bates Lieu tenant Governor Curtis Guild, IT. and the remainder of the list of state offi- cers was assured.
 As former Governor W. Murray Crane was chairman of the committee on resolutions. it was expected that the platform would be characteristic of the man who as chief executive seldom was known to utter more than few sentences in any public speech. It was expected that his committee report to- day would be unique for its brevity and for the conciseness of its state mentR.

Conservatives Discuss Fiscal question
 and the Army.
 Sheffield, Eng, Oct 2.-The attend ance to-day at the conference of the conservative associations was much smaller than yesterday, the opening day. The irreconcilable differences in the party on the fiscal question were again emphasized in the debate, and ultimately, in the interest of unity, Henry Chaplin, M.

IMPORTANT TRADE FEATURES.
Summarized by the International Mer-
 cantile Agency.

cantile Agency.
 New York, Oct Especial telegrams to the International Mercantile agency regarding important trade features are summarized as follows:
 Some concern has been felt lest the wage reduction movement began by pigiron makers and in the building trades at St Louis and elsewhere may extend to other lines. Merchants in staple lines have begun to cut down orders somewhat. At St Paul and tributary territory jobbing demand is less than expected and it is thought collections may be delayed thirty days, although spring wheat threshing pros poets are rather more favorable than last week. Country merchants through out the northwest are beginning to hold off a little.
 Wholesale and retail trade In the iron and coal regions is somewhat up- set over the shut-downs. present and prospective, talk of cancellations of or ders for some varieties of steel, and checked buying by home manufactur- CTS. Tn other directions trade is en- couraging. Hardware is most active at Pittsburg Shoe manufacturers are having very la1ge trade Stove and furniture makers at St Louis are or dered far ahead. Louisville is over- run with country merchants. Phila delphia reports no decline in demand with improved collections. Tn New England distribution runs 15 per cent ahead of last year. At Chicago whole sale and retail lines show results of heavy inflow of country buyers. New Orleans Is suffering from a strike which ties up the port and affects gen eral business.
 It is now clear that there will be a two billion bushel crop of corn, and that wheat will be above an average. This is already reflected in a better movement, export purchases, better supply of commercial bills and drop in foreign exchange. Cotton receipts are far behind last year w. F. Brown of cotton corner fame states to the International Mercantile agency that there twill certainly be no scarcity of cotton in October" He declines to predict as to the current crop year. The southern California bean crop is placed at 7500O0 sacks, 85,0O0 more than last year.
 Aside from iron mine and furnace regions, and in some building lines. careful canvass reveals no tendency thus far to reduce wages. Less activ- ity in building lines is shown at Buff falo. Structural material, iron and steel, is quiet. No new foreign busi- ness in steel or iron. New England cotton mills are slowly resuming. Woolen mills there are running full time
 Wall street reaction hit money inter ests at a number of central western and western cities, with evidences shown Tn some instances. with effects on business enterprises. Demands for funds for legitimate business are very heavy. Banks are having all they can do to meet requirements. Municipal security market is feeling the tension and less is doing there.
 There is a better demand for winter goods in Ontario and Quebec. Dump ing surplus English woolens there has hurt the Dominion industry, Two plants have closed. The apple cropsis very large but the potato crop is a failure.

 Arguments To-day.

Arguments To-day.
 London, Oct 2-Sir Edward Carson. the solicitor general, consumed tha morning session of the Alaskan bound~ ary commission to-day in endeavoriar to refute the arguments of David ,I. Watson and Hannis Taylor, of coain- sel for the United States, especially protesting against MT Taylor's conten< tion that the term trend of the coasfs could only apply to the political coast~ line and not to the physical coast line He also maintained that the princlpx of acquiescence was not applicable td the present dispute and somewhat ssir- prised the audience by declaring that under the powers of the treaty of 1903 the commissioners had no authority to. define questions submitted to them. and that they could neither lay down the boundary nor decide what eonstis tuted the coast. All the commissions CTS could do was to answer questions submitted to them in the treaty either negatively or affirmatively If they gave certain answers they might make matters more confusing than ever and open up new series of diplomatic tangles.

First of Series of Combined Maneuvers
 Was Held To-day.
 Camp Young, West Point, Ky, Oct 2.-About 5000 enlisted men took the field to-day for the first of the series of combined maneuvers, for both regu- lars and militia, The work in the field consisted of six detached maneuvers for advance guard. The general fea- lures of the problem were based on the relative position of the large inn aginary blue and brown armies. The blue having been forced back to its base at Louisville by the brown army operating from Nashville and the blue having been reinforced turns on the brown now located about fifteen miles from West Point. The state troops were worked with the regulars, de- tachment of the latter participating in each maneuver.
