The Pie-Maker some time ago called the public
attention to the fact that Senator Piles had Seattle
men slated for all the federal positions, which would
lead the other sections of Western Washington to
setupa how-Seattles hoging everything, which
would have a tendency to weaken King county in
the councils of the party in the state. In verfca-
ton of that political representation, already F. c.
Harper has been appointed collector OF customs +.
c. Sullivan district attorney, and the other appoint
ments are all coming along in regular order. If the
fur does not fly in the next state convention, on &C
count of all this, then miss guess.

WOOD TICKS W ANTED.
Two Bits Per Head Will Be Paid For
Live Able Bodied s tCimeuS.

The interest in wood ticks seems to
be in no way lhtted Where they
conceal themselves in winter has been
the source of no end Of discussion in
the valley. To give a practical bear
ing 10 the quest The Western News is
authorized to extend the time OF it's
offer aud to change the offer to Is
cents piece for ticks delivered alive
and in good condition. THIS offer will
hold until January 5th, 1907, and will
apply to any quantity of ticks up to
100.
1t is probable that most ticks bur
row into the soil as do many other
insects and they are likely to be in a
winter sheep with dull, slate covered
dead skin about them. They cannot
easily be mistaken. Some one has
suggested collecting earth in which
ticks are, likely to be found and plac-
ing it in a warm room for week or
so to arouse the insects and bring
them out. Many ticks hide under
rocks, in the bark of trees, and i'll
dead stumps and logs. They are
sometimes found during the winter on
stock, in stables, in mining tunnels or
in any place where fair degree of
warmth is kept up Any information
that may lead to securing wood ticks
will be highly welcome. Address
communication to The Western News.

FRUIT GROWERS To
ORGANIZE
OF BITTER ROOT
VALLEY TO COOPERATE IN
SALE OF PRODUCT.

Bozeman, Dec. 1S.-Several weeks
ago Prof. r.. W. Fisher of the expert
ment station and agricultural college,
made visit to the famous Hood
River country in Oregon to study
the methods of marketing the fruit
used there by the fruit growers as
sociation. He found that the system
in use there he'd increased the pro
fits over the individual system OF
ma rketing by from so to 200 per cent
and at the same time had not increas-
ed the cost to the consumer. He an
nounced upon his return that he
hope ed to organize similar associa-
ton in the Bitter Root valley, and he
is now about to begin the campaign
Meetings will be called at Hamilton
on the afternoon of January 2, at
Victor, January 3, at Stevensville,
j anuary 4. and at Missoula, January
S. which will be addressed by Prof.
f isher who will describe the working
of the association in the Hood River
and elsewhere.
The chief function of the associa-
tion is to control the marketing,
! though in connection with this it
may make recommendation from
time to time to the growers IN regard
to varieties or methods of culture.
The first step in the marketing is
taken when the first accurate esti-
mates can be made of the quality and
quantity of the yield. This estimate
Is made by the officers of the associa.
tion, who when the figures are pro
cured, offer the entire crop in the
largest fruit markets in the world fol
competitive bids. BY this method
which eliminates most of the middle
men, better prices are secured, anC
the crop often all sold before single
apple is picked.
| In order to guarantee the exac
quality and standard of the crop the
association does all the packing o
the apples for market, leaving thu
pic king to the farmers who send th'
fruit to some convenient central poin
to be packed.
Prof. Fisher has received much en-
enlargement from the growers in tn
Bitter r, OF and expects to be abl
to organize strong association
| W hich will handle all or nearly all O
the Bitter Root product.
There are now. according to figure
c compiled by Professor Fisher, abor
100000 bearing trees in the orchard
of the Bitter Root, and as soon 6
tbese come tc their full productive
ness they will give about 1,5OO,W
bo xes of apples annually. The ma
ke ting of these Is serious problem
| and in the management Of the bus
| ess great loss is liable to occur, an
| the loss always falls on the grove

A man Of cats declares it is the worst
OF luck for Il pet black cat to fOrsake
your home. a woman of cats asserts
it is the best Of luck. In the middle
ages Satan's favorite form was a black
cat. Witches always have cat as
their familiar-a stray black pussy in
preference. If Il white cat races across
your yard a child Is going to die. If a
stray cat Of any color takes up with
you, making your house its home. you
will have good luck. Napoleon Bona
pGrte showed morbid horror Of cats.
The night before the battle of Water
Zoo black cat passed near him. and
iat the sight the great warrior was COM
lpletely unnerved. He saw an omen
OF defeat. Henry III. Of France swoon-
ed whenever he saw cat, and one Of
the Ferdinands Of Germany would
tremble in his boots If a harmless tabby
got In the line Of his vision. Among
the Romans cat was symbol Of lib
'erty. The Egyptians held the animal
IN generation under the name Of Aelu-
rus. deity with human body and a
cats head. Whoever killed a cat, even
by accident, was put to death. Diana
assumed tie form Of cat and excited
fbe fury Of the giants.

There is an old saving in the theatri.

dead head" and there is much truth
in the saying. Deadheads don't approve
oi the rule laid down by Artemus Ward: :
''You can't 60 in without paying, but
you may pay. without going in" Their
lodges to avoid paying are often humor-
Gus and ingenious.
An amusing story is told OF an encount.
Ct Harry Beresford, who will be seen
here in 1.-The Woman Halter" next We'd
Desday evening at the Grand theater,
had with would be deadhead in small
town last season. He was standing in
the lobby Of the theater one evening
when man came up to him and said:
''Are you Mr.. Beresford?" The reply
being in the affirmative, the fellow said /:
$40 you recognize the profession?"
"Are you an actor ?" asked Mr.. Beres
lord, seeming little fun.
The fellow said eyes," and being ask
ed ii be was tragedian, said he was.
"nid you ever play Chicago?" asked
idr. Beresford.
"Sure,' was the reply.
Well, did you ever play Hamlet?
"Naw, l never played more Of them

Every man who loses laugh is just
as unfortunate az he who refuses to
