Butte, Mont.-An intermittent
snow storm has been raging in this
city for some time. The mountains
are covered with blanket Of white,
though in the valley the snow is melt-
ing about as fast as it falls. The
temperature ranged betwean thirty
and forty degrees above zero. While
the storm appears to be general
throughout the state, il is not thought
the stock interests will suffer, though
some damage may result to the crops
and early fruit.

oughly cribbed.

Can It Be True7

The deeper the white cap troubles
are probed, the more and more evi-
dent it becomes that there is a large
amount of sel6shness and personal
greed behind much of it. 1t is stated
that when the bottom is reached of
many notable instances it will be
found that the white caps, or some of
them, were simply covetous of the
negroes, and wanted to get them at q
bargain.

Probably the last silver dollar that
will be issued by the government OF the
United States under present condl-
tions has been coined. The statement
for June will show the coinage OF
about 100000 in standard dollars.
These coins are now all completed In
the Philadelphia mint. There IS still
on hand about 100000 ounces OF the
bullions purchased under the act OF
1890. This has been set aside for use
under the provision Of the sundry civ
il appropriation act of March 3, 1908,
authorizing the use of this bullion for
subsidiary coinage. There is enough
of it to coin over $7,000,OOO in small
money. This amount, with the SUBJ
sidiary coins now In the treasury,
amounting to nearly s12,0OO,OOO, will
be ample to supply the demand until
Congress has had an opportunity to
brovide further.

It was decided that the customs
rates established by the Dingley tar
iff law will be imposed upon all goods
imported into the American zone on
the Isthmus of Panama except on
such goods as may be shipped from
there to the United States. The
American zone is regarded as United
States territory. The enforcement Of
the tariff law will be placed in the
hands of Governor Davis. He will
make such arrangement with the treas
ury department for the services of
experts in customs matters as he may
deem necessary. 1t is expected that
little material from foreign countries
will be employed in the construction
of the canal or other purposes. Ev-
cry encouragement will be given to
the importation of such necessary
products from this country.

After much has been printed about
the alleged purchase of the submarine
torpedo boat Protector by the Jap
anese and about the little craft having
been taken out of the United States
lashed to the deck of the Norwegian
steamer Fortuna, it is now possible
to disclose the real facts. The Pro-
tector is understood to have been sent
to Cork on the Fortuna, but there is
no certainty that the little craft will
arrive here 1t is more likely that
she may be slipped into the water be-
fore the Fortuna arrives at Cork and
be towed to such port as may be
convenient for the negotiations for its
sale. The japanese have not pur-
chased this boat, nor made arrange
ments to-purchase her, but they have
taken steps to find out just what will
become of her. SO has the Russian
government.

LEFT SHOE WEARS FIRST.
Dealer Says 1t Is Because That Foot
Is the Larger.

Did you ever notice that people
are right-footed?' asked the proprie.
tor of a shoe store. watch my
clerks and you will see that invari-
ably my customers will put out their
right foot when going to be fitted.
Now watch that woman going to be
fitted over there" The woman took a
scat, lifted her curtain of black veil
ing and as the clerk approached her
size poked her right foot from beneath
all expanse of skirt
ITS always the case, and I don't
believe I ever knew it fail. The shoe
manufacturers are evidently wise to
tits fact, as in the cartons the right
shoe is always packed on top. Once
the left shoe on top and it caused me
so much annoyance that | wrote to
the manufacturer, calling his ;, ,atten-
ton to the matter so that it would
ret happen again. The majority OF
people are rieht-handed, yet left
handed person has the right-foot
habit. The right hand is larger than
,he lett, as it is used more, and con-
sequently develops the muscles to a
greater extent On the other hand,
the left foot is larger than the right
in most persons The difference is so
slight that we seldom have trouble in
fitting shoes, however. 1t is the left
shoe that wears out before the right
and probably for this reason.-Shoe
