DEATH GULCH.
Deadly Yellowstone Canon Which the
President Planned to Visit.


From the Anaconda Standard.
President Roosevelt expects to visit Death
Gulch. by far the most dangerous section
of the park. This gulch is in remote sec
ton and is never visited by tourists. Many
years ago a trapper told Of remarkable
gulch strewn with carcasses of wild ami
mails, to enter which was death. This story
was looked upon as a myth until years
later when the place was found actually
to exist.
Death Gulch is located fifteen miles from
Yanceys. From Yancey's. where the Presi-
dent will go soon after his arrival at Fort
Yellowstone. he will travel east to the
mouth Of Cash Creek. Death Gulch Is To-
Gated one and one-half miles up the creek
1t is narrow canon, with precipitous
walls, for the most part There are places
where the canon may be entered down the
sides. but most Of the unfortunate animals
which wander into the gulch come in by
its head. In the bottom of the gulch and
along its sides are strewn the skeletons and
remains of elk. deer and bear that have
met their end there. 1t Is this gulch that
was made famous by Seton Thompson IN
his story of "Wahb," for it was there that
the grizzly died.
Three years ago DR.. Frank w. Trap
hagen, professor of natural sciences at the
agricultural college at Bozeman and one
of the best-known chemists of America, and
Peter Koch, president of the Bozeman Ma
tional Bank. visited the gulch. A strong
wind was blowing at the time and they
were able to go into it from it's mouth with
out danger. DR.. Traphagen found. as he
had suspected, that the unfortunate ami
mails which had ventured into the canon
were killed by a poisonous gas which came
from the bottom of the gulch. He secured
a number of samples of this gas which he
carried back to his laboratory in Bozeman.
He found it to be deadly gas, heavier than
the air, SO that when no wind was blowing
the lower part of the canon would be filled
with it and 1t would cause death to any
living thing that breathed 1T.
1t Is in this vicinity that Slough Creek Is
located. There are more elk and deer in
this district than in any other in the park
and the President desires to see these wild
animals. Mr.. Burroughs, the naturalist,
who will accompany the President, desires
to visit Death Gulch to satisfy himself of
the report of the gases there.
A trail has been broken from Fort yell
Iowstone to Yancey's but the remainder of
the trip will have to be made on skis.

PRINTING MUSIC.
At the Present Time There Are Four
Distinct Methods.

From the Baltimore Herald.
At the present time there are four dis
tinct methods of printing music the first
by drawing the composition on transfer
paper: the second, by an impression taken
from an engraved plate; the third by set
ting UP the notes and characters in type,
and the fourth. by making the impression
on stone The latter process, which requires
much skill and practice. is but little used
at the present time. chiefly on account OF
the necessity of reproducing the copy back
ward. In order to form the negative When
the copy has been engraved on the stone,
the process of etching takes place. This
consists in the application Of solution
composed principally Of gum arabic ana
nitric acid. The stone Is then ready for
use and impressions can be taken from it.
The process of drawing on transfer paper
consists simply in making a copy OF the

How Little Bel Got the Spool Of SILK
and the Banana. -3ff

One morning little Bel was sent
by her mamma to the "button
store" to match a spool of silk. She
had often been trusted on such err
rands, though only four years old,
and very proud che used to feel as
she trudged along, ''helping man.
ma"
"Be sure and get just that shade
of blue and come right back, little
daughter" said mamma as she kiss
ed her goodby.
"Ies, ma'am," was the sturdy an
swer.
Now, on the way to the button
store there was a fruit stand, and
Bel often used to look at it with
longing eyes. This morning she
saw something she had not seen for
a long time-great, beautiful red
bananas. If Bel liked anything in
the world, it was a banana. She
wondered how much they would
cost. Then she thought she would
ask. give cents" Why, she had
just 5 cents in her fat fingers that
very minute Before you could
think she hadn't cents at all, but
had the banana instead.
Do you think she went right
home? Not she. She marched
straight to the button store and,
standing on tiptoe, reached her
sample above the counter, saying:
"My mother wants spool of silk
like this"
The lady smiled down at the
mite, matched the silk carefully and
handed it to her.
"Fank you," said Bel. She never
forgets her manners.
"But, little girl" called the lady,
"didn't your mamma send any mon
ey for the silk?"
"Yes'm, but l buyed a banana"
And before the lady could stop
laughing she was on the street, hur-
rying home.-Doll's Dressmaker.

Story Of the Letter a."

The small letter ''i' was former
ly written without the dot over it.
The dot was introduced in the four
teenth century to distinguish "i'
from sc" in hasty and indistinct
writing. The letter "i'' was also
originally used where the 81" is now
employed, the distinction between
the two having been introduced by
the Dutch writers in comparative
modern times. The ''j' was orig
inally dotted because the I," from
which it is derived, was written with
a dot over it.-New York World.

farmer dropped into Norfolk,

board in the family of Mrs. Mari

housekeeping suited him.

confided to Mrs. Green.

grand daughter, Georgianna,
keeps house for me. She is the
best cook in these parts. !"
He smacked his lips at the first
meal and praised Miss Georglan-
ma. Dinners and suppers came
and went and the young farmer
seemed mighty pleased. But one
day a dinner came that tickled his
palate more than all the rest The
apple pie at the end was marvel.
"That was the best pie ] ever

was one of a wide range of sub.

Freight congestion and the num-
Der of working hours for mules
were discussed.
Mr.. Adams deductions are un-

nical, showing the location and
formation of several coal veins
throughout the bituminous dis.
trict. He said there was about
enough coal in the United States
to last 700 years, at the present
rate of consumption, but pointed
out that the demand was doubled
every l6 years, and should the
ratio continue, the coal would be
exhausted in about $50 years.

Ten people were killed and many

About half of the long passenger

American Wages.

In some interesting personal
reminicences of Mr.. Blaine, ex
Senator Vest touches incidentally
on the services of the Name states
man to the Protective policy, and
he recalls a conversation in which
Blaine said: "There should be
high wages for the workingmen
both in factories and on the farms,
and at the same time the manufact-
urers should receive sufficient pro-
fits on their investments. 1t is a
fact we'll worth the special attention
of the working class of the United
Statss that the Democratic party
has never been in favor of any part
of this proposition. No Democratic
platform has ever proposed even to
have Protection enough to main
tain American wages at the present
standard, which is the highest in
the world. Democrats hold that
the workers should be left to look
out for themselves against foreign
competition, and that a decreased
cost of goods, which is taken for
granted, would compensate the
wage earners for going down to the
foreign level of pay.
In these days when single ship
carries an immense cargo and can
cross the Atlantic in less than a
week, the adoption of tariff for
Government revenue only would
flood the country with foreign goods
made by men who receive but half
the wages prevailing in the United
States. A short trial of this su-
preme folly would result in a speedy
return to the Protective system that
has brought about present condit-
ions. Even a serious threat of
Free Trade would convulse the in
dustries of the country. In spite of
these evsdent facts, the Democratic
party still refuse % advocate enough
of Protection to hold American
wages at the highest level, an ar
rangement that is perfectly right,
and one that ought to be most zeal

Protection's Value.


The fundamental claim of thu
American Protective system is that
it is far better for a nation like the
United States havinggreat resources
vet to be developed and wishing to
advance the standard of life of the
masses to protect itself against
lower wages and a lower civilization
That this theory is true is shown
by the contrast supplied by the con-
iition of the American masses and
that of the European masses. Our
wages average more than double
hose of nations from which in a
large part our composite nationalit,
is formed. The most enterprising
{ the working classes Of man
races have come t, this country t.
share ITS advanced standard of lite
and as our resources are vet unde
veloped, We are able to absorb this
e enforcement and to promote th.
veil being of the hew comers !,
common with the W, II beng of the
people who precedt i them here.
To- be sure we have radium o.
Immigration, an Indifferent and
'riminal class, which should bt
veeded out, but, as related to th'
great mass, rhis percentage issmall
o. the whole the condition of thf>
country as compared with Euro
pean countries jusrifes the experl
ment Accordingly, in concedine
that Protection NAV be a good
thing for one people but bac
hing for the people of the Who'll
globe, the critic of the American
system sNes away the case II
cannot be that what is good for
so, 900, 900 people in the United
States, re enforced annually and
re enforced largely from Europe, is
bad in the long run for Europe.
The example which we have bee n
setting is already being caught up
by the United Kingdom, which
comedies that the American Pro-
tective system and the arguments on
which it is based in theory and its
output In practice are impregnable.
