sLAVs ALL HORSE OWNERS
No Matter How Poor Is a Russian BE
Is Proud Possessor of Some
Sort of Equine.

Every Russian, from the poor
est peasant to the car, is a horse
owner and lover. The Russians
spend much money on their race
tracks, and some of them are very
beautiful.
The racing season begins in
Russia about April Is and ends
October %. During the season
there is only about two hours and
a half's darkness during the night,
and the races begin at four O'Clock
in the afternoon and it is not un-
common for them to last until ten
o'clock p. m. Sometimes as many
as ten or twelve races are run off
i'll a day.
Horses stand the rugged eli,
mate of winter in Russia exceed.
ingly well. They do not come into
form as early as they do in this
country, but one thing remarkable
about them is their clean legs and
sound feet. This is attributed to
the intense cold hardening the
muscles. Carefully handled,
there is very little reason for a
Russian-bred and raised horse
ever to break completely down.

PAPER BOTTLES FOR MILK.
Fewer Bacteria Are Found in Them
and They Are Not to Be
Rehlled.

The many Disadvantages Of the
glass milk bottle, as now almost
universally employed, are well
known. One of the most serious
is the difficulty of securing proper
cleansing before ii is refilled, with
the accompanying possibility of
spreading Infection. Efforts to
secure improvement in this detail
of milk service have heretofore
been unsuccessful mainly because
of failure to obtain a satisfactory
substitute.
Recent Investigations by DR.. A.
H.. Stewart, of the bacteriolOgic
department, Philadelphia bureau
of health, Indicate that at last an
acceptable cOntainer has been
found in what he designates as a
single-seryice paper milk bottle.
1t is made of heavy spruce wood
fiber paper, comic in shape to ia
cilitate nesting, and with an in
geniOus locking device to retain
the bottom.
An important feature of the
bottle is its saturatiOn with para
fin by being dropped in that sub
stance at 212 degrees Fahrenheit
and then baked. This sterilizes
the bottle and prevents the milk
coming in contact with the paper
itself and adhering, as it does to
the glass bottle. For shipment
the bottles are packed in nests of
20, three nests being sealed in
sterile bags, the lids are also put
up in sterile packages.
Bacteriologic tests with sample
bottles were exceedingly satisfac-
tory. AS received from the man
u@factory, none was found to con
tain micro organisms. Closed
bottles were sent to several
diaries near Philadelphia, a glass
bottle being filled with the same
lot of milk. When received at the
bureau the glass bottles invaria
bly, showed slight leakage around
the caps; the paper bottles die
not.
In every instance the milk in the
paper bottle contained fewer bac
terra than did that in the glass
bottle, the average being a fourtl
as many as in the latter. Certified

and are to be used but once, thu

NO MORE CHINESE FOR SOUTH AFRICA

Robert Montgomery, Scot, from
Roxburgshlre, was In the city last
evening on his way from Seattle to the
east.
He has just returned from South
Africa, where he spent year and a
half He was greatly interested in
that country. and according to him,
1t is rapidly settling up since the poer
war
The Chinese question, he said, was
proving a serious one. on the ter
mination of hostilities the British Of
fcers paraded their men in the coun-
try at that time and held out induce
'ments, offering great possibilities to
those who wished to remain in the
country.
Mr.. Montgomery was one of those
who took advantage of tne offering.
one inducement was to be the devel-
opment of the gold mines in which
only white labor was to be employed.
Mr.. Montgomery saw n vision of a
fortune. He remained in South Afri-
ca.
His experience was that after peace
had been declared six months, the
mine owners were not getting divi-
dends sufficient to warrant them in
employing white labor AS there was
not sufficient Kaffir labor In the
country to work the mines success
fully. the companies started a propa-
ganda To induce Chinamen to come
into the country.
Cinnamon brought in.
Naturally the British population on
the Rand resented the introduction of
yellow labor in any shape or form.
Notwithstanding protests galore, how
ever, the British government succeed
cd against popular opinion, In landing
on the shores of a British possession
100, 900 Cinnamon, many Of whom had
criminal records in their own country,
and had TO leave their country for Its
good.
The result is that in Montgomery
1S months experience among the
oriental labor, something like 10000
of these Cinnamon have broken away
from their compounds and are roam
ing the country at large as far west
as the Bechuanaland border. They
defy the efforts of the South African
mounted police who have been assidu-
Gus in endeavorlng to keep the Chinese
under control. but when Mr.. Mont
gomery left the Transvaal the efforts
of the police had been without avail.
The Chinese who were under bonds
for three years, had gained the upper

BUYS 1000 Tons of Ore.

Manager Fuller, of the Sumpter
smelter, returned last week from Lam
dore, Idaho. where he bought the en-
tire stock Of copper ore accumulated
there by the Ladd's Metal company,
said to be about 5000 tons, says the
Inland Empire Miner. This ore will
have to be hauled in wagons over 30
miles, and will be shipped by rail from
Council to Sumpter, going over four
different lines. Here 1t will be trans
ferred to the narrow gauge Sumpter
Valley road. The Ladd's Metal COM
pany has closed down. and this sale of
ore looks as II 1t were permanent

not be learned.
