Western Montana Topography.

A typographical map of the Bon
ner quadrangle. Montana, has just
been issued by the United States
Geological survey. The area COW
cred is about $40 square miles and
includes parts of Granite, Ravalli
and Missoula counties. The town of
Mssoula lies partly in this area and
partly to the west of it, the state
university appearing on the map at
the foot of University mountain.
The contrast of the canyon topog-
raphy Of Rock creek with the wider
valley of He'll Gate river is strikingly
shown by contour lines drawn at YER
teal intervals of 100 feet. These
contours express truthfully the forms
of mountain and valley, so far as
practicable on the scale of the map,
which is about two miles to one inch.
The map shows all roads, trails. rail
roads, towns and isolated houses.
The industries within the area may
be stated in the order of their i'm
portance, as follows: laundering
mining in the vicinity of Clinton and
Quigley. and stock grazing in the
valley area Of the southwest corner
In Camas Prairie, in the northeast
ern part of the area, and along Hell
Gate and Blackfoot rivers some grain
and vegetables are grown.

Wyoming Topography.

The United States Geological sur
vey has now ready for distribution
engraved maps of the Aladdin quad
ranSle, Wyoming, the field work for
which was completed during the sea-
son of 1901. 1t embraces about 500
square miles OF the northeastern cor
ner of Wyoming and includes also a
three mile strip of the western side
Of South Dakota. 1t lies immediate-
~ west of the town of Belle Fourche,
South Dakota. \ 50-foot contour in
terval was used in drawing the map,
and permanent bench marks tat least
one in each township consisting of
iron posts with brass caps. upon
which the elevation in feet is stamp
ed. have been placed throughout the
area.
The Belle Fourche river is the
principal stream in this area, This
river has its) source very near that
streams. starting in opposite direc-
tons, eventually encircle the Black
Hills region and meet to the east of
the hills Other principal streams in
this quadrangle are Hay, Redwater,
Oak. Pine and Crow creeks.
The Bear Lodge mountains traverse
almost the entire length of the quad
rangle, and their streams afford wa
ter supply for considerable farming
along their base.
A fair quality of bituminous coal is
mined in the vicinity Of Aladdin, al
though in comparatively small guam,
titles The northern half Of the area
is devoted to cattle grazing, which
is an important industry in that
country.
The mapping Of this area and OF
the Devils tower quadrangle to the
northwest (now in course of con
struction) will complete the mapping
Of the entire Black Hills uplift.

Interstate Commerce Commission to
File an Appeal.
TIE COAL ROADS MUST ANSWER
Confident That the United States Su-
preme Court Will Reverse Judge
Lacombe's Ruling, In Which He
Refused to Compel Roads to Pro-
duce Contracts.

William Z. Curtis. in a Washing
ton special to the Chicago Record
Herald, says:
The Interstate commerce commits
sion will appeal to the supreme court
of the United States from the de-
cision of Judge Lacombe, Of the
southern district of New York, who
refused to issue an order requiring
the coal railroads to produce their
contracts with the mining compan-
les. on the ground that they We're

The members Of the commission
attempted to show that these con-
tracts were something more than the
coal roads were willing to admit.
but the court would not listen to
them. The facts, as drawn out in
the investigation, confirm the state
ments that have been published re-
peatedly concerning the relations be-
tween the railroads and the mining
companies.
About two-thirds, possibly three
fourths, of the coal mines are owned
by the railroads or by the same
stockholders. and are managed by the
same directors. The owners, there
fore. make contracts with themselves
under which they agree to pay them
selves 65 per cent Of the market
price of coal delivered at tidewater
The remaining S5 per cent must
cover the transportation charges
commissions to selling agents and
profits to the railway companies.
Similar contracts on similar terms
are made with the independent min
ers by the railroad companies, which
pay them 65 per cent of the selling
price of coal at New York-which is
fixed by the railroad companies &C
cording to circumstances-and re

TALKED WITH
THE PRESIDENT
Idaho Mail Carrier Tells About Meet
ing Him.
TIMBER CRUISER AMUsEs HIM
Compares the President With Good
Whisky in Manner That Is
Unique and Pleasing, and Has a
General Good Time With Him.

Erncsaa Sarber, mail carrier be-
tween Chatcolet and st. Maries, Ida
no, in the employ of the United States
government, talked for 10 minutes
with Theodore Roosevelt, whNn the
presidents train stopped for water at
Chacolet on its trip from Wallace to
Spokane. He met the president face
to face and talked With him as man
to man, according to the Spokesman
Review.
There were light of us, says Mr.
Sarber, and, Of course, We We're glad
to enough to see the president train.
That was a sight i'll itself The train
stopped just after crossing the bridge
over the St. zoe riNhr, and the crowd
of us, women and babies and all,
trailed back along the coaches, hop
ing that we would at least get a
glimpse of the president. There was
a longshanked timber cruiser With
us, who led the way, and when we
reached the last coach he was the
first to spy the president.
why, there he is. he shouted,
and the president heard him. MI
Roosevelt turned to a companion
whom | took to be secret service
man, and seemed to get his assent
to leaving the car. At any rate, when
the stranger acquiesced he came tc
THE platform and gave us all a most
royal greeting, shaking hands al
around. Theodore Roosevelt is {
great man, but when | grasped his
hand l forgot that l was greeting the
president and remembered only tha
l was talking to very pleasing gen
tleman to whom at all times an(
everywhere the present was most i'm

Sometimes | say, if We didn't need

dent had missed his calling. He

come to him with hard luck story
of how the lead had pinched out, or
the cattle all died in the late March

the public for long time, and it was
the intention of the interstate com
merce commission to bring them out
in official form. but for some reason
or another both the mining compan-
les and the railroad managers OBJ
jected, and Judge Lacombe sustained
them.
An appeal to the supreme court
will cause a long delay in reaching a
decision in the investigation of the
coal roads, because the commission
will not make final report until
they get a decision on this point.
They are confident. however, that it
will be in their favor upon the same
ground upon which the StimsOn case
was decided by the supreme court
several years ago. 1t will be remem-
bered that the court required him to
produce the books and contracts con-
corning the traffic arrangements be-
tween the Illinois Steel company and
the different railroads doing business
with it.
The commission has completed the
inv stigation of the coal roads, so far
as the compliments are concerned,
but cannot hear the testimony of the
defendants until after July 4, be-
cause they have an engagement in
Chicago this week to investigate
elevator charges, grain and lumber
rates. and complaints of discrimina-

This will probably be the last ap-
pearance of the Doctor in the local
Church, as he goes early next week

hold him bycon1ing to hear him at
these two services. He should have
large audiences. It is a special
privilege for us to have him one

Close the Armenia.

The Corrigan- Mckinney co. have
this week closed the Armenia mine
in the Crystal Falls district. The
reason for the suspension as given
is that the firm has more ore on
hand than they can find a. market
for, and as the Armenia has always
been an expensive mine to operate
it was selected as the property that
should cease mining and shipping.
In some quarters there is appre-
hensiOn that the market is4not as
healthy as it might be, and that
more suspensions will follow, it be-
ing pointed out that the steel trust
recently reduced it's forces in it's
mines at Ishpeming.

The railroad d~controlled by the
new Rainy LakeT company is under
construction north from Virginia,
and will be built as far as Pelican
Lake this year. Its ultimate desti.
nation is Koochiching. The COM
pany gives promise of being one
OF the greatest factors in the devel-
opment of the territory between
Virginia on the Mesaba range and
the Rainy River. 1t has plenty of
capital and the officers have enter
prise and experience.
1t is stated that the Rainy Lake
company has plans for the con-
struction of two saw mills this year
on the line of it's road. Their loca-
tion is not known outside of the
company, but they will each be of
100000 feet capacity per day. The

is now in the new Rainy Lake COM
pany, owns 1,200yO00,O00 feet of pine.
The Rainy Lake company's scope
of operations is wide under the ar
ticles of incorporation. In addition
to the owning and operating of the
railroad, timber, construction OF
sawmills, planning mills, factories
of other kinds that may be desir.
able to develop the resources of the
country embraced by St. Louis,
1tasca and Lake counties, it is pro-
vided that the company may own
and operate mines and smelters for
reducing iron and copper ores, own
and operate brick yards, stone
quarries, erect buildings and colo
nize lands.-News Tribune.
