Y. NJ. c. A. RECEPTION.

a NThe reception at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Home Monday night was a success
from every standpoint and forms the
strongest possible presage of the fu-
ture popularity and usefulness of the
Association. The attendance was so
large in fact that the popularity of the
bowling alley was all that saved over
crowding the Home proper. The crowd
was representative and cosmopolitan,
and this meeting of all classes on
broader plan is one Of the basic prin-
ciples of the Association and means a
future unanimity for good, a joining
of hands of the mothers and fathers
of Columbia for the welfare and up
building of the young men of the
town.
The directors were ably assisted in
receiving by Mrs. E. w. Carmack,
and every visitor was made to feel
thoroughly at home. An inspection of
the handsome quarters appeared to
be the first pleasure of the visitors.
The large double parlors with their
handsome furnishings, the Secretary's
study and reading room, the bowling
alleys all came in for a share of admir-
alton. In the parlors two large paint
ings ably executed attracted much
favorable attention, and upon closer
inspection revealed the signature of
Miss Cora Brownlow, whose work has
won the praise of every discriminat-
ing artist who has had an opportunity
of seeing something of her brush. Miss
Brownlow has loaned these paintings
to the Association for an indefinite
time. Another handsome painting has
been loaned by Capt r. D. Smith,
while Mr.. J. L. Hutton has loaned for
an indefinite time fine piano.
While all of these things came in for
a share of attention, Charles orches-
ira of five pieces soon had the atten-
ton Of majority of the visitors, and
for three hours a wealth of sweet mu-
sic was discoursed. The music did
not consist OF instrumental selections
alone. One member of the orchestra,
Mr. Scott, had a splendid tenor voice,
and was most accommodating in meet
ing the requests of his hearers.
Many visitors spent pleasant even
ing at the bowling alley and this de
partment will undoubtedly prove
widely popular.
Frappe and waters were serv-
ed during. the evening by Misses Julia
Biddle, Mamie Wharton, Louise Cher
ry and Nellie Williamson.

Bit Of His Autobiography Giving His

First Experience.
My experiences as an author began
early in 1857. | came to New York
from San Francisco in the first month
of that year and presently Charles II.
Webb, whom | had known in San Fran
cisco as reporter on The Bulletin,
and afterward editor of the Califor-
MAN, suggested that l publish a vol
ume of sketches. l had but a slender
reputation to publish it on, but l was
charmed and excited by the sugges-
tion and quite wiling to venture it
if some industrious person would save
me the trouble of gathering the sketch
es together. l was loath to do it my
self, for from the beginning of my So
journ in this world there was a per-
sistent vacancy in me where the in.
dustry ought to be. ("Ought to was"

of the authorities differ as to that
Webb said l had some reputation
in the Atlantic states, but knew quite
we'll that 1t must be a very attenuat-
ed sort What there was of it rested
upon the story of the Jumping Frog
When Artemus Ward passed through
California on a lecturing tour, in 1865
or '66, told him the Jumping Frog

me to write it out and send it to his
publisher, Carleton. in New York, to
be used in padding out small book
which Artemus had prepared for the
press and which needed some more
stuffing to make it big enough for the
price which was to be charged for it.
Webb had made an appointment for
me with Carleton; otherwise | never
should have gotten over that frontier
Carleton rose and said, brusquely and
aggressively: "Well, what can do

Something About Cereal Breakfast
Foods

ooInetnin9 ABOUT Cereal Breakfast
Foods.
Ihere is no part of the world except
the Arctic regions where cereals are
not extensively cultivated. From the
oats and rye of the north to the rice
OF the hot countries, grains of some
KIND are staple foods.
An idea of the importance of cereal
foods in the diet may be gathered from
the following data, gathered by Dr.
Charles d. Woods and Prof. Harry
snyder for the department of agricul
ture, based upon the results obtained
in dietary studies with large mum
Der OF American families. Vegetable
foods, including flour, bread, and 9th
er cereal products, furnished SIS pei
cent OF the total food, 80 per cent OF
the protein, s per cent of the fat and
80 per cent of the carbohydrates OF
the diet. The amounts which cerea
foods alone supplied were % per cent
OF the total food, 81 per cent of the
protein, 7 per cent of the fat, and St
per cent of the total carbohydrates
that is, about three-quarters of the
vegetable protein, one-half of the car.
bohydrates, and seven-eighths of the
vegetable fat were supplied by the
cereals. Dat, rice and wheat break
fast foods together furnished about 2
per cent of the total food and protein,
l per cent of the total fat, and per
cent OF the carbohydrates of the or
binary mixed diet, as shown by the
statistics cited. These percentage val.
ues are not high in themselves, but
1t must be remembered that they rep
resent large quantities when We con-
slider the food consumed by a family
in year.
The reasons for such an extensive
use of cereal foods are not hard to
find. Besides being cheaply and easily
grown, the grains contain unusually
good proportions of the necessary food
ingredients with very small propol-
ton of refuse. They are also readily
prepared for the table and are palat-
able and digestible. Owing to their
dryness they are compact and easily
preserved without deterioration.
The grain as it grows on the stalk
is surrounded by hull or husk, which
Is so indigestible that it is removed
before the seed is used for food. Each
grain has an outer skin or bran layer
which may or may not be removed
in milling. II is nearly always taken
off from rice and buckwheat. some
times from wheat. corn and rye, and
almost never from the other grains
unless the outer sections are ground of
as in pearled barley. Grains simply
hulled or husked and slightly crushed

AFTER THE BATTLE,

1t is little early to make intelligent
comment on the recent election The
indications are, however, that the Re
publlcans have won a more substan
tlal victory throughout the nation than
was anticipated during the progress
OF the campaign. There may be a few
losses here and there but on the whole
the voters have rallied to the support
of Theodore Roosevelt in a manner
that will afford him much qualification
especially in the election of Republi
can congressman and legislatures.
In New York, where a contest was
waged on the governorship that attract.
ed attention throughout the nation and
which, in fact, was farreaching in its
results in more ways than one, the
great charlatan and demagogue of the
age has been turned down by right
eous electorate, party lines being ig-
nored in the accomplishment of this
most desirable result. Thousands OF
Democrats Joined with the Repubii-
cans in great civic and patriotic duty
and too much praise cannot be accord
ed them.
The next congress will be strongly
Republican, and Uncle Joe Cannon will
succeed himself as speaker of the
house, the efforts to defeat him at the
polls resulting in a dismal failure.
President Roosevelt will now On for.
ward to still greater achievements in
combating the evils that menace the
welfare of the country.
The vote of this state in an off year
Is sufficient assurance that it is reli-
ably Republican on national issues,
there not being over three or four
counties out of the twenty-five that can
be classed as Democratic, these being
Silver Bow, Broadwater, Deer Lodge
and Jefferson.

The result in Fergus county is fur
ther proof that on purely national is
sues the county is Republican by fully
800 majority. The new settlers are
largely Republicans, and there is good
reason for believing that on a more
complete registration and full vote the
majority would exceed 500. Certainly
within the next two years it will reach
the latter figures. Mr.. Rae received
a good many Democratic votes and not
a few of that faith supported Messrs
Thompson and Greene, candidates fo1
the lower house of the legislature. The
strong Democratic vote of Kendall was
the hope and anchor of the local Dem
ocracy and as the returns show it say,
ed several of it's candidates from de
feat.
So far then, as national issues are
concerned, Montana within few
years will be as safe Republican state
as the Dakotas or Kansas. But in
these days party fealty is not strong
enough to hold the voters to their 10
cal tickets and great independence is
exercised. In a measure this may be
necessary to secure the most efficient
officers and the only way this tendency
can be remedied in part Is for each
party to be careful in the selection Of
men to fill the various offices. Capac
ity and fitness are Of far more impor
lance than locality in considering q
candidates claims for nomination
From the showing made in the re
cent election a great victory for the
whole ticket is one of the certainties
OF the great national contest two years
hence.

Carbon Dioxide Pockets in France

Carbon Dioxide Pockets in France.
In the Auvergne region Of France
a large amount of carbonic acid gas
comes from the soil, and is one of the
last traces of the former volcanic &C
tivity of this region. All the springs
contain large quantity of the gas
These springs are found generally in
the assures of the ground which al
low the water to rise. One of the
Montpensier springs in the Puy de
Dome region has been long known as
the poisoned spring." Animals which
descend into the cavity to drink are
soon asphyxiated by the gas which is
given off by the water and accumu-
lates here. Bodies of birds, rabbits
dogs, sheep, and other animals are
found, and even persons have mar.
rowly escaped. Vegetation is also at
fected by an overdose of the gas.
Spots can be seen running in a line
across the fields, where the plants
have suffered from gas coming UP
through the assures of the ground at
different points. Soundings show the
presence Of great quantity of gas,
and it is usually in very pure state.
Such gas forms a source of CONNER
cial value, and could be utilized prac-
tically as is done in Germany at pres
ent in Westphalia and other regions.
At present the amount of carbonic ac-
i'd gas given off per day is estimated
at one million cubic feet, and this
could be much increased. Aside from
the gas production we have other in
teresting phenomena here. The fis-
sures containing the springs occur
in, n1on nr1 in, hio1, 40
fauna consist of mammiferous ami
mails such as the rhinoceros, crocodile,
turtle and others. Two of the springs
are remarkable. Both of them come
from cavities from eight to 10 feet
deep, in the midst of clay and mud.
Excavations made at Is feet depth
show Gallo-Roman vases, one complete
human skeleton, several skeletons of
horse, COW, sheep, which have COM
menced to fossilize. Two feet below
this were found remains of the man.
moth, with skin and tusks, which in
dictate an unusually large specimen.
Debris of bison bones is found. The
cavities form vertable bone pockets,
coming from the local enlargement of
the assure by the action of the spring
The original depth of the pocket seems
to be at least go feet. Different ep-
ochs from $4,000 years to 1000 years
are shown by the various layers of
bone deposits in the cavity, which has
been filled up by the deposits from the
spring, and the water continued to
flow through this. The animals and
human beings do not seem to have
been drawn into the cavity by the
stream of water. but they must have
descended into it in order to drink.
for the access is easy, and were then
asphyXiated. Such a fossil-bed in the
form of pocket seems to be unique.

LEWISTOWN, MONT, Nov. 8. 1906
NOW FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

Now that the elections are over
there are many matters pertaining to
the upbuilding of Lewistown and Fer
gus county that should engage the at
tention of all citizens.
In all probability there will be d
large immigration to the west again
next spring and it will begin as early
as March. Some effort should be made
to reach settlers and investors before
they start on their journey. The rail
roads should be asked to cooperate
in advertising the resources and oppol-
tunities for investment in Fergus
county lands. While there is yet gov
eminent land to be had there are
greater openings for men of some
means, who can afford to buy choice
lands OF large holders for very rea-
sonable price. The days of the large
stock ranch are swiftly passing. This
is realized by the owners, who are
willing to part with their holdings for
fair consideration. What Fergus
county and Montana needs now is
more people and there is room for
thousands in our prairies and in the
valleys with the coming of new rail
roads.
Notwithstanding that the past year
has offered some Encouragement to
wheat growing, owing to insufficient
rain fall and phenomenal crop
throughout the United States, Fergus
county is destined to be great wheat
growing region. With better and more
direct railroad connections with the
outside wheat can be shipped to the
east at a good profit after the home
demand is supplied.
Interest seems to be tagging some
what in the mining industry. This
should be given a substantial boom
IN directing attention to what has bea,.
done in the various districts Of the
county and the position the county
holds as a gold producer
Fergus county would seem to be al
ideal place for high grade stock rails
ing in both horses and cattle, and 1t
is encouraging to know that a good
start is being made in that direction
Experiments in sugar beet raising
offer encouragement. 1t is possible
that at no distant day it may become
q profitable industry Of the county.
Montana, and especially this Sec
ton, has been too long neglected by
the railroads in their eagerness to set
tie up the coast states, but the tide is
turning back and this state is feeling
the benefit in many ways.
With TWO railroads entering the
county in the next year there will be
great request for farm lands and a
large increase in our rural population
which will materially benefit Lewis
town.
The building of the Burlington
branch into the city within a couple
OF years and the erection of a new
court house should give the capital of
the county substantial boom and
make it, as it is now conceded to be,
the best city of it's size in the state.
On such matters there is no reason
why all citizens cannot pull together
harmoniously.
