An unusual sight to the people Of
Lewistown was that of a forest fire
in the South Moccasin mountains Sat.
urday and Sunday. The flames were
plainly to be seen both Saturday and
Sunday nights and a tract of consid.
cradle area was burned. II Is thought
that the fire originated somewhere in
the Diehl gulch. where the ranchero
have been burning brush. and from
there crept up the mountain. When
seen from town Saturday loo II
seemed to be half way up the side
of the mountains and II slowly crept
up toward the top until Sunday night
when the trees at the summit were
blazing. AS nothing more can be seen
OF the fire except a smoky haze In
the neighborhood of the mountains, II
is supposed to have burned itself out

An amusing thing happened at the
station Tuesday evening when the
train pulled in. Bishop Lehman, OF
Great Falls, was coming in for a Wis.
il in Lewistown and Governor Toole
and party were coming for a political
meeting. Father Vermaal had arrans.
ed a grand reception for the bishop
and there were probably 200 Catholics
at the train to meet him. The bishop
and Governor Toole alighted from the
train at the same time and Mr.. Toole
evidently thought the great concourse
was to meet him, whereas it was there

remainder of the crowd was there 10

HOW INDIANS TELEGRAPHED.
Scouts Used the "Wig-Was," Fires
and Even Small Mirrors.

1t was a spot Of interest. We were
standing on one of the old signal sta
tions Of the Dakota Indians, in the very
heart of what was once the buffalo
country, and what Is today a pros
porous cattle range. Here and there
fragments Of charcoal proclaimed
where the signal fires had burned,
while in the crevices and weathered
debris Of the butte's summit the writer
found war points and chips OF obsid-
ian flint and moss agate few heavier
points Of flint that had once tipped
hunting arrows, a flint knife and frag-
ments of the scorched bones Of the
buffalo, elk, mountain sheep, deer,
antelope, dogs, badger and skunk. In
every nook and Granny Of the place
small fragments Of the creditable ar
ticle Of Indian pottery were ground
beneath the heavy soles Of our hunt
ing boots. More than a hundred SHOWS
have come and gone since that pottery
was burned.

ned buffalo hide held, raised, lowered,

known peculiar ways, the Indian
scouts and watches used to telegraph
thence to the distant village of the
presence Of strangers or enemies In
the country, Of the approach OF the
buffalo bands, and Of the return of war
and hunting parties. If the camp was
too distant for the blanket signal to
be made out, the information was COM
municated by fires at night and by pill
lars and balloon-shaped puffs OF
smoke by day, discernible to the dis
tance Of at least so miles. When the
traders came UP the Missouri river the
Indian scout added the small, circu-
lar hand mirror to his meager but all
sufficient outfit, and In time learned
to communicate with his distant
friends by flashes Of sunlight. The
first Indian hunter or horse herder
who caught the danger signal from
the lookout station, repeated 1t to the
village by riding his horse furiously IN
a circle or by other forms Of sign.

There Is less dynamite handled

But the factories and the dealers are
mutually interested In keeping the
dangerous stuff outside Of the city
limits. To this end the orders for It

stores in Chicago are sent to the fac

How MEXIcANs TEST EGGs.-1t Is a
common sight in the plaza to behold
stall woman, who is selling two
reals worth Of eggs, pick them up
one by one, put one end and then the
other to her lips and hand them over
to the customer, who repeats the same
identical operation.
To the inexperienced onlooker 1t
seems as If they were tasting the ex-
tremities of the egg. AS a matter of
fact they never touch the egg with the
tongue.
The idea of the performance is that
when an egg Is fresh one end is dis
tinctly colder than the other. The end
which has the air chamber is the
warmer Of the two. The human lips
are exceedin sly sensitive to heat and
cold, and even the novice at this form
of egg testing promptly becomes a
capable judge. If both ends Of the
egg reveal the same temperature, that
egg may be counted as bad, as 1t Is
fairly good sign that the air chamber
Is broken and the contents spread
equally within the shell.-Mexican
Herald.

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.

President Sets Apart the Twenty
Fourth Day Of November.
President Roosevelt issued his an
nual Thanksgiving proclamation last
Tuesday. It reads as follows:
1T has pleased Almighty God to
bring the American people in safety
and honor through another year, and,
in accordance with the long unbroken
custom handed down to us by our fore
fathers, the time has come when a
special day shall be set apart In which
to thank Him who holds all nations in
the hollow Of His hand for the mercies
thus vouchsafed to us. During the
century and quarter Of our national
life we as a people have been blessed
beyond all others, and for this we owe
humble and heartfelt thanks to the
Author Of all Blessings. The year that
has closed has been one Of peace with
in our borders as well as between us
and all other nations. The harvests
have been abundant, and those who
work, whether with hand or brain, are
prospering greatly. Reward has wait
ed upon honest effort. We have been
enabled to do our duty to ourselves
and to others. Never has there been a
time when religious and charitable ef-
fort has been more evident. Much has
been given to us and much will be ex-
pected from us. We speak Of what has
been done by this nation in no spirit
Of boastfulne:s or vain glory, but with
full and reverent realization that our
strength is as nothing unless we are
helped from above. Hitherto we have
been given the heart and the strength to
10 the tasks allotted to US as they Sc
IYo AIov ,R,,I Gov oil
that has been done for US in the past,
and we pray that in the future we may
be strengthened in the unending strug-
gle to do our duty fearlessly and hon
estly, with charity and good will, with
respect to ourselves and with love to-
ward our fellowmen. In this great
Republic the effort to combine nation
al strength with personal freedom Is
being tried on a scale more gigantic
than ever before in the worlds history.
Our success will mean much, not only
for ourselves, but for the future of all
mankind; and every man or woman In
our land should feel the grave respon-
sibility resting upon him or her, for
in the last analysis this success must
depend upon the higher average Of our
Individual citizenship, upon the way
in which each Of US does his duty by
himself and his neighbor.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
Welt, President Of the United States,
10 hereby appoint and set apart Thurs
lay, the oath of this November, to be
observed as a day Of festival and
by all the people Of the
United States at home or abroad, and
10 recommend that on that day they
cease from their ordinary occupations
and gather in their several places OF
worship or in their homes, devoutly to
give thanks unto Almighty God for
these benefits He has conferred upon
us as individuals and as a nation, and
to beseech Him that in the future His
iiyine favor may be continued to us"

ALL EYES ON THE SOUTH.
Land of Men and Cotton at Last Com.
ina to Its Own.


"All eyes are on the South" has be-
come common expression. The
world is intently watching the wonder
full growth and development Of this
section. The progress Of the south Is
amazing, and 1t elicits the admiration
and praise Of all civilized nations.
The following interesting article is
from the Railroad Record and Com
mon Carrier for August:
With an enormous cotton crop rip
ening, the largest fruit crop in its his
tory, and prospects for a great yield OF
corn, the south Is reasonably sure of
a prosperous fall and winter. Twelve
million bales of cotton is a conserva-
tive estimate at this writing. The
price for fall months is really better
than we could expect.
Peaches brought into Georgia alone
nearly three million dollars. and the
souths melons and vegetables have
netted two or three times as much.
The south's cotton will give us half a
billion dollars and there will be very
little corn to buy next winter.
In the west, corn prospects are fine
but wheat will be 20 per cent short.
So the west will barely hold its own.
In the east, the presidential cam
paign and a slow iron and steel market
are depressing generally business.
Last winter, the south's cotton mon
ey went long way to avert a general
panic. Now it looks as IL the south
will again furnish the money and the
prosperity for the nation.
On June 30th last, the Southern
Railway completed it's tenth year.
One decade Is short period In the
history of a corporation or country,
but many important things may occur
in that brief span.
In the case Of the Southern, the sys-
TEN has grown remarkably. 1t has
jumped from 4,14O miles to 1854 miles
It's gross earnings have increased
from $4,000, 900 to s45,0O0,O00.
It's common stock has risen from be-
low 10 to above As, although at present
it is about 81.
It's preferred has advanced from be-
low 20 to 92 and has been to 9S.
For four or five years it did not pay
a dividend on preferred. Then it be-
gan by paying one per cent, and fol
the last two years has paid five pei
cent annually on the preferred.
Millions of dollars have been spent
on road-bed, bridges, rails, shops, ter
minals and equipment. The road has
been practically rebuilt, and it Is now
high-class property in every respect
The Southern has advertised the
south all over the globe and it has
brought in millions Of investment ir
farms and manufacturing industries.
The company's service has beer
wonderfully improved, and is no"
equal to any in the land. The South
ern has reached down into Florida
and west to st. Louis. 1t has beer
progressive and liberal, and the pub
lie has shown its appreciation by CIV
ing it abundant patronage.
