Inadequate to draw a conclusion OF
the magnitude Of Kuroki's success
against the Russian left, but the pub
lie as usual is ready to believe the

days officials Of the war office are
plainly discouraged at the fashion in
which Kurolsi is able to drive in and

t.iated Press hears from a high source
that Kuropatkin considers his position
on Shakhe river to be menaced to such
;ans extent by Kuroki's success on the
! left flank as to necessitate immediate
withdrawal of his army to Tie pass and
has so advised the emperor. No con-
itary circles here, where it is pointed
out that with the Japs pressing the
whole Russian line such an operation
must almost inevitably end in dis
ASter of the first magnitude.

Ten attacks made by two Japanese

Busenburg were elected trustees
without opposition of any nature.

a matter OF congratulation for the

JOHN A. DRAKE is COMING.
Will Spend Some Time in Kendall
Looking Up Minnie PrOperty.

Much speculation is rife in regard
to what will be done with the property
of the North Mocassin Mining Co.,
this spring, owing to the fact that
John A. Drake purchased half in
terest in the property during the
early winter. This property is known
in the Kendall district as the Santi-
ago Group and consists of four claims:
the Santiago Fraction, Sceptre and
the Possible. A considerable amount
of work has been accomplished on
this group and on the Santiago a body
of ore has been encountered which
made the sale of the early winter
Mr.. Drake is expected to arrive in
LeWistown about the 10th of April
and will spend some time at Kendall
for the purpose of thoroughly investi-
gaging the proposition. The property
is undoubtedly good one as Mr..
Drake is not man to let good prop
osition lay idle, it is surmised that
steps will be taken to put plant in
operation on the ground this season.
The owners of the property are John
A. Drake, Frank E. Wright and J. ID.
Waite. 1t is thought at present that
Mr.. Wright will return to Lewistown
about June lst.

Anaconda and KaIispeII Both Went
Democratic While One Alderman
Was Elected in Helena.

Returns from the municipal elec

erywhere. The late dispatches from
the various cities show the following
returns:
In Great Falls, Ewing beat Free
man for mayor by 43 majority, while
Nalbach secured the treasurer's Office
by 429 majority. Earl was elected
police magistrate over Hawkins by
1863 Three democratic alderman were
elected and all the republicans got
was one alderman.
Kalispell went democratic as also
did Anaconda. The democrats elect

neighborhoad of twenty-five men and
fifty horses are now busy putting in
the crop on this ranch and attending
to the work in general. Eleven thous-

the Bank ranch last fall and 1t is
thought that the crop this year will
be considerably larger. There is a
plentiful supply of water for the pur-

comprehensive methods of irrigation
are employed to work the ranch to
the best advantage. The soil is rich
and the farm proper is situated on
flat bottom land which stretches for
miles to the southwest.
Warm Spring creek, only few
miles distant, is well settled and
many comfortable homes and product

this creek that the Horse Shoe Bar

power generated from the waters of
the creek. Some of the most pro-

Montana are encountered while tax

Wood and water in abundance, rich
bottom lands and the near vicinity of

this locality one which is hard to

There Are Several That Have the
Food Hiding Instinct.

rOOU Hiding Instinct.
| have sometimes seen dog bury in
the ground a bone for which he did not
seem to have any present need. have
always understood that he did this on
the principle which actuates prov
ident man to lay up something "for a
rainy day" This may be, though /
have never known dog to dig up the
bone afterward, yet some persons tell
me they have known him to do this.
I should think the dog must be hard
pressed by famine that would ATTEMPT
to gnaw q bone covered with clay and
dirt, as this bone must be after being
buried in the ground. If the dog hides
1t away through any such provident
forethought ns this 1t must be the
slightest remnant, mere ndumbration,
of former instinct of his race. lie

steady, methodical way in which an
ant or bee or squirrel lays up

With him it is only n fitful and rare
occurrence His long domestication
and the ages through which he has re-
ceiyed his food from the hand OF his
master have obliterated largely the
sense Of this necessity from his mind,
II he may be supposed to have mind.
The fox when he has had the good
fortune to capture several fowls at the
same time will, 1t is said secrete such
as he has no present need for under a
bush or behind a log. | remember that
in Rowland RoblnsOn's pleasant book,
"Sam Lovel's Boy" young fox is rep
resented as doing this. "He began
burying the leg of lamb In the loose
earth, but desisted when he saw the
eyes of all his mates were upon him,
then unearthed the half buried treasure
and sought Il new hiding place." l do
not understand that the wolf had this
food hiding instinct. Gilbert White OF

COMPANYI BOYS HEARD FROM.
Gilt Edge Boys are Doing Well II
the Far Away Island of luzOn.

A letter received by J. M. Croft
from former member of Company l
who is now in the PHILIPPINE Islands
| will be of interest to number of res
idents of Fergus county, as we'll as
former members of the Lewistown
company. The letter is from Sey.
mour Addison, who was member OF
the company and who remained in
the Philippines when the Montana
regiment came home. Mr.. Addison
is now located at Capas, Province OF
Tarlac, Island of Luzon, and is evi-
IDENTIFY doing we'll as ne mentions
owning some land where he is living.
Tarlac province is about forty-tive
miles north of the city of Manila and
is one of the fertile provinces of Lu-
zon. Addison mentions that James
Stevenson, another member of Com
pany l, is his neighbor and owns land
adjoining his own. Both of these
boys enlisted from Gilt Edge when
Company was formed and both we're
popular members of the organization
Addison also tells that Jacob l. Ar
senchek, another Company l boy, was
killed in the Island two years ago,
but does not mention any particulars.
ArSenchek was an Austrian by birth
and was known as one of the bravest
men and best soldiers in the company.
The former members of the company
will be pleased to hear from their
comrades, and it is indeed gratifying
to know that they are prospering in
the home they have chosen in their
insular possessions. 1t has been
feared for the past two or three years
that both of them were dead, as no
word had previously been received
from them. Addison only mentions
the two named above and says that he
does not know anything of other
members of the company who re-
manned there, having lost sight of
them.
