The principal subjects dealt with and
offered as inducements to the home
seekers, who are yearly pouring into
the west FROM all parts of the east, as
well as from abroad, are the enormous
apple and berry crops, which are ship

est live stock counties in the west; the
mining chances in our great and beaut-
iful mountains, and the well known
and unequaled climate Of the Bitter
Root.
Another portion of the folder deals
with the reclaitning Of so many thous-
ands Of acres of arid LARD by the big
Dinsmore ditch. The beet sugar fac
tory to be built next year is held as
another inducenent to the homr seek

proposed route of the Chicago, Mil

months, arrived in town today from
their camp few miles above the Lo

party we'll known in Missoula are
Messrs. Smith, "Wndy" Wilson,
Harry Martin and Ray Walters. The
boys report that their party has com
pleted the work outlined for it through
the Lo Lo pass and will now proceed
farther into the Clearwater country.
The second party which left Missoula
in charge of Engineer E. S. Squires,
has been working the route beyond
the pass and is now camped at the
head of Granite creek and extending
it's operations toward Fish creek. The
members of the party here report that
the weather has been very good in the
Clearwater country for this season of
the year, and while considerable snow
has fallen and they have been COM
PEELED to work most of the time on
snowshoes, that extreme cold and
storms have been lacking and they
have been able to put in their time
with scarcely break.
A. E. Hammond, one of the engi-
neers in charge Of the party, came
down with the other men as far as Lo
Lo, where he left them to go to his
home at Darby, in the upper Bitter
Root valley, to spend a few days. He
is expected in Missoula the last of the
week and the plans are now for the
party to leave again for the Clear

COPPER VEIN LOOKS GOOD
CurleW Mine at Victor Promises
Richer Returns Than Ever
Helena rlen Interested.

The curlew mine near Victor is rap
idly coming to the front in producing
excellent copper ore. Mining men in
this part of the state claim the recent
strike of ore III this mine to be one Of
the most important finds ever made in
the Bitter Root valley. A lead of zinc
caring ore was found in the mine,
when it was first developed, but owing
to the uncertainty in regard to the
sneltering of ore of this kind in east
ern smelters, nothing was done on
this lead, as it was not thought prof
table.
A. M. Hotter of Helena is the owner
of this mine, and he states that big
crew of men will soon be working on
the different leads. The Missouliau
makes the following statement in re-
gard to the new strike.
According to reports brought to the
city, the strike of copper ore made re
Gently in the Curlew mine, near Vic
wi SiloNliiS utJ DCblCl llldu ever,
and the discovery is considered by
promin ent mining men in this part Of
the state to be one of the most import
ant strikes ever made in that district.
1t is said that the ore body is not only
rich but it is continuous. Some years
ago the Curlew mine was a profitable
producer of SILVER. A lead of zinc
bearing ore was found during the de-
velopmeut of the mine, but owing to
the distance it would have to be trans
ported in order 70 be smelted, it was
found that it would be Improbable to
work that particular lead. A smelter
for treating that kind of ore having
been erected in western Montana,

Of the mine, wished to secure samples
from the property, to see whether it

jerry Rourke, the eng ineer in charge
of the construction of the big dam at
Bonner has submitted the plans for
the electric light plant to be built in
that place in the very near future, to
the Clark interests of Butte. General
Manager Wethey has confirmed the
general belief that the Clark people
will ultimately build an electric line
from Missoula up into the Bitter Root
valley and through the Skalkaho pass
to Butte. The distance between Ham
ilton and Butte through this pass
would be less than one-half what it is
to day by rail.
If this line is ever built, it will be
great thing for the entire valley. A
two hours trip would take Bitter Root
apples, berries and our many other
fruits, fresh to Butte markets, not only
would the rancher be helped by this
new line, but Hamilton, with its un-

Stevensviiie Plans For Electric Lights
and Water System

Word comes from Stevensville, that
the residents OF that city are planning
to put in an ideal electric light and
water system. 1t is reported that
eastern capitalists have secured the
option on property on the west side of
the river near Stevensvillc, which is
owned by Henry Buck. and that their
purpose in securing this land and the
water rights on the same is for the
sole aim of building an electric plant
and water works there. The water
would have to be piped from the mouth
of Mill creek canyon on the west bench
to Stevensvi)le, distance of about
three miles. The elevation at the
mouth Of the canyon is over 900 feet
higher than that of Stevensville and
thus there would be sufficient force to
carry the water to every part of the
little city. The water is dts) pure,
coming directly from the mountain
SHOWS and springs.
Il At the mouth of Canyon creek is an
excellent spot for power plant, which
could be constructed at a very small
cost. The water power is very great
and the pressure would be suffi cieut to
furnish town of three times the size
of Stevensville with electric lights.

PRELUDE TO GENERAL ATTACK
Massacte at BiaIystok Will Be Imitat-

Berlin, June 18.-"We have every
reason to believe that the massacre oil
Jews at Bialystok is rehearsal for a
wholesale repetition of the atrocities oi
last October said DR.. Paul Nathan,
president OF the Central Jewish Relief
league of Germany. "Our information
indicates that the Bialystok massacre is
the same sort of officially inspired
counter revolutionary outbreak as was
that at Odessa. We have learned posi-.
lively that the governments allegation
that the trouble began in consequence
of the bombs being thrown at Chris
tian religious procession by Jews is q
ridiculous falsebood. Bialystok is still
in the hands of the drunken Cossacks,
who are determined that no Jews shall
be allowed to escape or 60 unrobbed.
"The military have deserted the rail-
way station and every passing train is
held up and the passengers plundered.
Panic reigns in the neighboring viii
laRes, which fear they will be the next
object OF attack. Numerous German
firms and individuals are among the
sufferers at Bialystok and cause the
suggestion that German intervention be
invoked -

WANT APPEAL TO COURTS.
Victims of Postal Fraud Orders Want
Corteyou Curbed.

Washington, June l6.-Effort is he
ing made to curb the power exercised
by the Postoffice department in issuing
fraud orders against mail. The house
committee on judiciary has reported
favorably a measure granting appeal
from department fraud orders to the
courts, were the petitioner shall be
insured the right to full judicial
hearing on the facts and judicial judg-
ment as to whether the postal laws and
regulations are being violated.
Department rulings on use of tie.
mails, especially on the point whether
fraud is being committed, have been
the subject of many sharp controversies.
The plenary powers of the executive
officials have been az frequently es-
tablshed. Accumulated disappoint-
nent of those denied access to the
mails is offered in explanation of the.
present movement. Since the removal
of Tyner. there have been no charges of
wilful abuse of the powers of the de-
partment, but the purity of purpose
conceded to officials has not removed
the sting entirely for those who have
suffered.
There is little prospect that the
mesaure will be passed by the house
this session, but assurance is had that
a serious effort will be made to put it
on the statute books before the close of
the Fifty. ninth congress.
