OIL DISCOVERED AGAIN.
kintla Lake Country Threatens to
Turn Loose a Gusher.


kalispell, Aug. 29.-At last oil has
been discovered in the Kintla lake
oil region, J. II. Taylor, manager
of the Butte oil company, who was
in the city for short time Friday,
says that he visited the well of the
Kintla Lake oil company, in company
with several other men. and to their
surprise they discovered good flow
of artcsian water which had oil In II.
He says a strong flow of gas is com.
ing up with the water and that the
water flows over the top Oi the casing
just above the ground and with the
water and gas is also oil. That with.
in the past month n sufficient amount
OF oil has come to the surface with
the water to thoroughly saturatc the
ground around the well with oil.
He returned 10 the operations of his
country. feeling sure that there Is
now no doubt about there being oil
in that part OF the state. As the well
OF the kinlia Oil company is now l.,
200 feet deep. and as the water Is
coming TO the surface constantly. and
the pressure of the oil Delow is suifi
cient to send up some through the
water, he is confident that should n
few hundred feet more be sunk and
the well emptied Of its water that u
good flow OF oil will be the result.
The officers of the local company
Immediately called meeting of the
directors and 1t was decided to imme-
diately get together ana sink the well
down few hundred feet more. They
will also start a new well. In more
favorable location as soon as SUM.
cient amount OF stock has been sub
scribed. They think 1t possible to
start work upon the new well by the
middle Of September. The people Of
Kalispell are greatly elated over the
discovery.

Squadron Ordered There.


Washington, ID. c., Aug. 27.-Very
prompt and vigorous action is being
taken by the United tates government
to secure the punishment OF those
persons implicated in the assassina.
ton of United States Vice Consul Will
liam c. Magelssen, at Beirut, Syria,
Sunday last.
Minister Leichman, at Constanti-
nople, who reported the fact to the
state department, has been instructed
by the state department to demand
a thorough investigation of the az.
fair and the punishment of those in
volved in the crime. and the Euro
pean squadron, consisting of three
warships, has been ordered to pro-
ceed Immediately to Beirut to enforce
the demanods of the United States
minister If this latter measure should
be found necessary. This was deter.
mined upon after conference over
the telegraph telephone wires with
the officers here and the president
at Oyster Bay. They felt that no
time should be lost in dispatching Ad.
miral Cotton's squadron to Turkish
waters and the president gave in.
structions to Acting Secretary Dar.
ling that immediate orders be given
Admiral Cotton TO proceed at once.
The president determination to lose
no time in getting the squadron to
Beirut was also due in part to infor-
nation received by Acting Secretary
Loomis of the state department from
the secretary of the American board
of missions at Beirut indicating that
an attempt had been made to burn
Euphrates college buildings at Bel
rut. The dispatch said:
Information has just been receiv-
ed that an attempt has been made to
burn Euphrates college buildings.
Conditions increasingly alarming and
great anxiety felt for safety of the
American citizens there"
Acting Secretary Loomis tonight
cabled to Minister Leishman TO de-
mand of the porte to take immediate
action for the protection OF all Amer.
leans at Beirut and to prevent any
attack upon the college buildings.
Constantinople. Aug 2S.-It trans.
pires that the report that Vice Consul
Magelssen was killed is incorrect. An
unknown individual fired at him and
the bullet passed close to the vice con
sui, but did not touch him. The Val
of Beirut visited Vice Consul Magel
ssen, expressing his regrets for the
outrage, and ordered measures for the
arrest Of the person who fired the
shot. The error in stating that Vice
Consul Magelssen had been killed
arose from a mistake in cipher tele
gram.

New York, Aug. 29.-For the first
time in the history OF the America
cup contests race has been postpon-
ed because OF too much wind. To-
day. the third race of the present SER
les, was TO have been sailed. 1t will
be sailed instead on Monday.
Following the futile attempt of last
Thursday, when there was not enough
wind TO complete the race within the
time limit, 1t was earnestly hoped by
yachtsmen that todays contest would
be decisive and the series completed.
Ten hours after Thursdays failure
storm broke over the course and
ragged about Sandy Hook. The water
was tumbled into waves that troubled
even the ocean liners. The wind blew
with a velocity estimated between ~
and 50 miles an hour and the rain
was driven before IL ana obscured the
vision beyond a mile or two.
Within the sheltering bend of Sandy
Hook, where the two racing yachts
rode at their moorings, the water was
comparatively quiet this morning.
while across the sandy peninsula on
the ocean side the surf doomed as it
broke upon the beach.
At o'clock the regatta committee
met at the New York Yacht club house
and decided to postpone the race for
the day.
Later another meeting was held at
which II was decided 10 hold the next
race Monday, and TO hold race every
day thereafter until the international
contest Is decided.

New York, Aug. 27-With the Re.
lance less than third OF a mile from
the finish and Shamrock III hull down
on a horizon line, fully two miles
astern of the gallant defender, the
fourth race of the present series for
the Americas cup was declared of
because of the expiration Of the time
limit Of five and one-half hours, as
happened on Thursday last Although
officially called no race, the defeat ad.
ministered TO the challenger was so
ignominiOus that whatever lingering
hope remained in the breasts Of the
friends of Sir Thomas boat vanished
into thin air.
The Reliance's victory was In every
way more decisive than that of last
Saturday. Outsailed, outpointed and
outfooted. II was a procession from
start to finish. The Herreshoff won.

THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA,
A New Circular Issued by General
Manager Droop

Mr.. E. H. Droop, the treasurer and gen.
eral manager of the Washington SYM
phony Orchestra, has issued a circular in
regard to the next concert Of the organiza-
ton, which will take place at the New
National Theater on the afternoon of Feb
ruary 10, at AIS o'clock, In which he says:
Mime. FRITZ Scheff Of the Grau Opera
Company, will be the soloist, and her beau
tiful. fresh soprano voice will be heard to
great advantage in her specially selected
numb-rs. Her trimuphs In New York are
known throughout musical America, and as
Nine. ScheH has never appeared in concert
in Washington her coming Is eagerly
looked for.
1.-THE increased receipts of the concert
given January 9 showed that the musical
public Is gradually recognizing the excel
lent work being done by the organization
and the opportunity it presents Of hearing
the highest forms of music broadly and in
diligently interpreted.
1T must be remembered, however that a
few public-spirited ladies and gentlemen
nave pledged themselves to insure the Or
chestra against any financial losses; this
condition should not be permitted to con-
tinue another day. That there will OF
necessity be a shortage at the end Of the
season goes without saying, for no similar
organization was ever known to be f1nan-
cially successful in it's infancy; but the
guarantors loss should be reduced to min
imum and this can be accomplished only
by the hearty cooperation Of every student
and lover Of music.
THE prices for reserved seats are most
reasonable. considering the high-class SOLO
lists who are engaged to appear at each
concert"
He then gives the scale of prices and the
artists who have been engaged as soloists.
and concludes:
Mr.. De Koven's work Is sincere and
earnest. He Is filling his position without
compensation or thought OF reward other
than that he expects those who are serious
ly interested in music to show their appre-
citation of his efforts to establish q SYM
phony orchestra by attending the concerts,
and thus. by their financial and critical
support. assist In making the orchestra
successful. Only in this way can the or
chestra be made self-sust aiming
