SETTLERS ARE COMING.
Low Rates Will Bring Many Eastern

Low rates VIII bring MANY Eastern
ers to the Northwest.
Helena, March 4.-The special col
onist rates on the transcontinental
railroads running to the northwest
became effective March lst and the
first trains bearing new settlers for
Montana. Washington, Oregon and
other states in the Pacific northwest
left the eastern terminals on that
date. The special rate of s25 from
ST. Paul will continue in effect dur
ing March and April and will then be
dropped until after the crops are in
Between September 18th and October
18th, the reduced rates will again be
quoted by the railroads.
The reports made 10 the immigra
tion bureaus of transcontinental lines
indicate there will be a big rush in
to this territory during the coming
two months. Inquiries have been es
pecially heavy from the middle west
ern states and the lecturers the

Union Pacific have had in the field
have reported that an unusual inter
est has been aroused.
The passenger officials OF the lines
reaching the northwest were last year
inclined TO look for falling off in i'm
migration this year, the approach oI
apresidential election being credited
with an unfavorable influence in trav
ell. But II the earlier indications are
to be depended upon the rush OF new
settlers will be greater than a year
ago.
Probably a number of the eastern
ers will not remain after reaching this
section. These will hurry back east
to put in their own crops. but rail
road men believe a large proportion
Will return in the fall. The colonlst
rate Is a cheap one-way second-clas:
fare, intended merely to benefit ac
tual new settlers For that reason
the bulk of the travel during the mex
two months will represent persons
who will actually take up new homes
The cheap fares apply to the entir,
northwestern country. They are bas
ed on s33 rate from Chicago, $3l
from ST. Louis and s25 from st. Paul
The bulk of the colonist travel will
come out of the middle western
states.
IL Is figured by transportation mer
that the two months in the sprint

Horses Skull Honored Relic.


Greenwich. Conn, March 4.-The
skull of the horse upon which Gener-
al Israel Putnam made his famous
ride down the 100 stone steps in
Greenwich when pursued by the Brit
ish. as chronicled In history, may
'adorn" the Putnam cottage here and
be one of the chief attractions In the
revolutionary museum when Putnam
Hill Chapter, Daughters Of the Amer
ican revolution. opens up the cot
tage next spring. II is the intention
of Irwin Edwards to present skull
of a horse he says was Putnam's
charger to the ladies of the Daugh.
tiers of the American Revolution.
The story is that Putnam's horse
died of old age after having served
both the general and later an itin-
Grant Methodist minister. The min
isters son was a surgeon, and he dis.
sected the animal and saved the skull
intact. The surgeons son was a ply
sician, and he, realizing the historic
value OF the animal. polished the
bones to a snowy whiteness and put
the skull away in his attic. 1t is this
skull which Mr.. Edwards says he has
found and will present 10 the Daugh.
tiers of the American Revolution.
One of the queer things about the
gift is that Mr.. Edwards, who takes
pride In being termed an antiquarian
came out publicly couple OF years
ago. and declared that he had proof
that Putnam never rode down the
stone steps, but took a by-path where
no daring was required, running away
from the enemy instead Of fighting
them.

A BIG INDUSTRY.
Took 1000 Cars to Haul Lumber Of
Fiathead County Last Year.

tIathead County Last Year.
kalispell. March THAT the out
side may know few facts regarding
the lumber industry In Flathead coun-
ty. the following were gathered this
week from good reliable sawmill men
who have been engaged In the lum.
berlng industry in this county for a
number of years. The question was
asked: How many feet of lumber is
shipped out of the county each year
and where Is II shipped to? The an.
swer received was revelation.
Over 100000 feet of lumber is
shipped out of this county yearly and
as II requires about 500 cars to haul
100000 feet, it required during the
year over 1000 cars to haul this one
product out of Flathead valley. The
lumber was shipped to all parts of
the United States. some OF it going
as far east as Philadelphia. The best
yellow and white pine was sent to
that point. where IL was used in the
manufacture of door and window
frames, while the tamarack went to
Chicago and indianapolis, where it
was used as finishing lumber for
dwellings and public buildings. The
remainder was shipped to Iowa. the
Dakotas and various parts of Mon.
tana
Besides giving employment to many
men in this county to get the timber
out, saw II up for shipment, it also
gave the Great Northern much bust.
ness In handling this great amount OF
lumber. Yet the supply will last for
30 years. and we have not got started
to cut our timber. The cimpletion of
the new cutoff to the north from
Columbia Falls will give fine open
ings for sawmills and will add addi-
tional lumber to be hauled out.

Outcome Not Doubtful,

Paris, March THE St Peters
burg correspondent of the Echo de
Paris cables that he has had an in
terview with Finance Minister Koko-
visoff, who declared that the issue of
the war was not doubtful. The minis
ter said that, even assuming the most
favorable hypothesis. the vital resour-
ces of the country will not be touched.
The expenditures. he said, must not
be compared with Great Britain's
enormous expenditure in South Afri.
ca. Russia will not have to buy S76,-
100000 worth of horses abroad. The
most that will be spent in this direc-
ton will be $2,000.000, and it will all
be spent within the empire. Similar
ly the cost of transporting the troops
will not go out of the empire, but will
swell the receipts of the state rail-
ways. The minister denied that there
was any danger of panicky withdraw
ais from the savings banks, and said
that the greater risk of panic would
be among the foreign holders of Rus.
sian securities, but, he added, these
foreign holders appear to be reassur-
ed by the events of the past few
weeks

Russia Breaking Neutrality.

London, March IA correspondent
of the Times at Pekin has visited the
railway outside the great wall and
comments on Russias refusal to re-
spect its neutrality as opening the
way for Japanese to similarly disre-
gard it's neutrality. The correspond
ent says: Russia is patrolling the
railroad nearly to the great wall with
small bodies of cavalry. At every sta
tion there are two sets of guards. one
composed of General Yuan Shi Kai's
well behaved troops and the other of
undisciplined troops sent by the Tar
tar governor of Mukden. There are
twenty of General Yuan Shi Kai's
men at each station, with a larger
body at Sin Min Tun. With the ex-
ception of the railroad guards, there
are no Chinese foreign drilled troops
iutside the wall in Manchuria. Rus
sia forbids any increase in their num-
bers.
"It Is believed that when the river
opens the Russians will destroy the
gunboat Sivoutch at New Chwang to
prevent her capture. All accounts
agree that the Russians have COM
mandeered a large number Of Chi
nese carts, and are concentrating on
the Yalu river, where the first battle
is expected"

BEEF TRUST UNDER FIRE.
Congress Starts Investigation on Be-
half of Stocknen,

Washington. d. c., March 4.-Tho
house today had under consideration
the Indian appropriation bill, the
reading of which for the purpose OF
amendment was pending on adjourn
ment. During the general debate on
the bill Mr., Martin (Rep.. S. d. adj
dressed the house on his resolution,
the secretary of commerce and labor
to investigate the causes of the diff
ferences which exist between the cost
of live and dressed beef.
Mr.. Martin said that the western
stockmen had been forced to the con
clusion that the great meat markets
of the country were manipulated
against them. The recent meeting
of the Stockraisers' association had
recognized this fact by resolutions ia
voring the establishment of independ
ent packing houses.
Mr.. Martin turned his attention tc
the proceedings of the attorney gen
eral in 1902 against the beef trust
which was now on appeal before the
supreme court of the United States
But" continued Mr.. Martin, so faI
as the rights of the producer and con
sumer are concerned they are even
worse than before this Injunction was
placed on this so-called trust. | think
there is every indication that after
the injunction they changed theil
methods, and instead of agreeing anC
combining in advance their represen
ttives go into the market every day
and when one buys a lot of beef. the
Others refrain from bidding against
him, and afterward divide up the pur
chase among themselves"
This method, Mr.. Martin declared
was clear violation of the terms Of
the Sherman antitrust law, which, he
believed. was adequate to remedy tn,
evil. He paid his compliments tc
Senator Foraker for introducing a bill
in the senate to repeal the forfeiture
clause of the Sherman law and gain
ed Democratic applause by declaring
that instead of removing that clause
1t should be enforced more vigorously
Mr.. Martin related the experience
of stockmen in their efforts to dis
pose of the stock on the Chicago
market. One, he mentioned, received
bid on train load of stock at Soutf
Omaha. He did not accept this bid
but his cars were all ticketed by some
one after he had refused the bid
When he reached Chicago he could
get no other bid than the precise on'
made at South Omaha He determin
ed not to sell, and had to wait fol
some time until finally he accepted
the bid of another packer of Indiana
Mr.. Martin said he was not one who
went into hysteria every time the
word trust was mentioned. The trusI
had come to stay. The question was
would they let the rest of us stay
He believed a big monopoly existed in
one of the food products which should
be investigated by the department ol
commerce and labor II in reason.
"You will get every vote on this
side" said Mr.. Stephens, addressing
Mr.. Martin.

were afraid to risk exposing their

able here that the attack was really
for the purpose of drawing the fire
out of Russian forts, compelling the
Russians to disclose the position and
callber of their guns, and for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether the Rus.

lieved to have failed signally, as the

But the mystery OF its propeller, the
invention of an unnamed naval offi.
GER is known alone to its inventor, 10
his six principles, and to the heads
of the shipbuilding concern that has
taken the contract for construction.
The steel keel of the ship has al
ready been laid and the work OF con.
struction is being pushed ahead but
even the mechanics nov molding the
vessels steel frame into shape have
no idea OF the task to which the
craft is dedicated.
But although the vessel will be
ready for the water within three
months so far as hull and propelling
machinery are concerned the full
equipment will take much longer
time. The important parts of the
equipment will be the nydriscope and
the sea elevator-recent inventions
by Caraliere Pine, an Italian.
The MICROSCOPE is submarine
lamp OF great power with mirrors II.
Eliminating the sea and rendering the
smallest object clearly visible at
great depths. Pino's sea elevator is
a marvellous contrivance by which oh.
jects disclosed on the ocean bottom
by the MICROSCOPE may be reached
and readily picked up.
Equipped with the microscope and
the sea elevator the treasure seeking
vessel may boldly invade this lifeless
sea of matted weed that holds the
hulls of long lost ships and treasures
garnered by the storms of centuries
The start of the cruise is fixed for
midsummer.
Although the Saragossa sea is
known to be pierced by narrow chan
nels OF free water, the bulk of its area
is thick with long, rope-like weeds
and a weak spot in the machinery OF
the treasure boat would be fatal. II
would mean death to every man on
board. There would be no escape
from the fetters of ocean weed.
