USES FOR DENATURED ALCOHOL.

Those who believed that the general
use of denatured alcohol for power
purposes would be one Of the immedi-
ate results of the law enacted at the
last session OF congress, must await
developments. 1t is claimed that in
countries where denatured alcohol
has been in use for some time past, it
has not been utilized to any large ex-
tent for motive power. a newspaper
article upon the subject says the prin.
cipal benefits of the new law will ac-
crue to industries in which taxed al.
cohol has heretofore been used.
Among these industries is that of
coar tar dye manufacture. In this
important branch representing i'm.
ports amounting to s., 705,09l in the
fiscal year 1905 American manufac-
turers have not been able to compete
with their German rivals, it being es.
tim ated that the cost of taxed alcohol
amounts to 10 per cen of the product.
With the tax removed the alcohol
would only equal one per cent. Am.
erican dyers and printers will now be
able to compete with those OF Europe,
not only for home trade, but also for
export. Hence American designers
aud colorists will have new opportu.
mites, while increased production will
doubtless SO cheaper manufacture as
possibly to allow of reaching out for
foreign markets in coal tar dyes. The
present American yearly output is
only about s., 500, 900 worth, while
Germauy's exports alone represent
$50, 900, 600.
Narnish manufacturers, it is said,
will be able to make u heavy reduce

Another Missouri River Dam.

HELENA, Aug. Still another dam
is to be built across the Missouri river

ceiver Freeman of the United States
land office, today. when the Capital
City Improvement company, COM
posed of Helena capitalists. filed a
petition, accompanied by the neces'
sary plats seeking the right to flood
the public domain along the river at a
point about eight miles below the dam
now building at Hauser lake. The
building Of the dam seems further as

last, seven deeds were filed with the
county clerk and recorder. whereof,
seven placer claims along the river,
aud which are included in the pro

to the Capital City Improvement com

dam will be l72 feet long and will have

NEW YORK. Aug. 10 - Following
the arrest OF three division inspectors
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit compa-
ny on charges OF assault In the third
degree. the company shut on entirely
all Of lts surface lines leading TO Coney
Island. taking the position that this
was the only way to stop rloting which

all OF whom were taken into custody
on warrants sworn out by passengers
who had been elected from ears. The
employees were balled In the sum OF
$500 each.
The stoppage OF the surface car traf
iic had the effect OF quletlng the dis
turbances, and the company claims II
will not attempt 10 run the surface
ears through 10 Concy Island at rush
hours until the danger OF riotlng Is
past. Counsel for the company wrote
TO the acting corporation counsel de-
mandlng that the Brooklyn Rapid

Kings said he was prepared 10 swear
In 1000 deputies II the situation should

TO several score whom he sent TO the
recent disorders. The stoppage OF traf-
flc az night made the employment OF
further deputies nc this time unneces-

The company has experienced but lit

II. G.. Thomas state commissioner
Of fish and game in his annual report
contends that the law prohibiting Sun
day hunting is a success aud desirable
TO be continued. He argues as follows:
THE law making Sunday close sea-
son will prove 10 be n benefit in many
ways. IL is the province of the com
missioner TO protection the population
of our state. both permanent and tran
silent, our native game birds and
others introdu, cd. The majority Of
our insectivorous birds are OF inesti-
mable benefit and value to the farmers.
They are the best possible protection
against pests which are injurious to
vegetation. Previous to this act OF the
legislature IL was the common practice
of many OF our natives 20 hunt on the
Sabbath day, but more especially
among the foreign element this was
done Any and everything wild that
came within their range was shot
Robins especially seemed to be their
favorite This slaughter OF birds was
carried on right in the larger towns
and cities. which was a violation Of
law. Many we're prosecuted but this
did not bring about the desired results.
The foreigner seemed TO think that in
free America Sunday was legal Holt
day; 10 was a day for recreation and
for supplying the family larder I'm
der the present act. making Sunday a
close season, il has practically stop
ped the killing OF insectiyOrous birds,
and will give more and better protect
ion to game birds"
Shooting song birds is not hunting
and has nothing to do with IT, aud be-
cause a few emancipated foreigners
shoot robins illegally, for which
they ought to be punished, is no rea-
son why an honest workingman who is
confined by his labors TO a close room
six days in the week should not have
the right to get out in the woods with
his gun on Sunday with the same privi-
leges enjoyed on other days by the
idler or man OF independent means. 1t
is merely question OF using one citi
zen OF the state the same as another
as nearly as possible. As far as the
moral aspect Of the matter goes it is
case for a mans own conscience. AS
for us we do not think that it is any
worse for man to go hunting, If he
will get oi in the woods where he does
not disturb others, than to bang
around the highways in an automobile
or with pair OF horses.
