The First "Old GIory,"

The term ''Old Glory used to de.
signate the flag Of our country, il a
favorite. and the expression Is a very
happy Que. 1t is said by those who
claim to be we'll informed that the
name originated with William Driver,
captain Of the bark Charles Dopgett.
This statement appears in a history
of the Driver family, and from this we
fnd the following facts:
Driver vas a successful deep.sea
sailor, and was at the time making
his vessel ready for a voy age to the
Southern Pacific. In 1881, just a. the
brig was about to set sail, q young
man at the head of a party of the
captains friends saluted Driver on
the deck Of the Doggett and presented
to him q handsome American aag,
nineteen by thirty.eight feet in size.
The banner was done up in stops, and
when it went aloft and vas flung to the
breeze, Captain Driver. says the ira.
dition, then and there named it "Old
Glory" The dag was carried to the
South seas, and ever afterward trea.
sured by its n
Driver removed to Nashville, Tenn,
in 1887, and there died in 1885. Before
the outbreak of hostilities between the
North and South, "Old Glory dew

taiu's bed until Feb. p, 1852, when the
Sixth Ohio marched into Nashville.
Then the flag came out of it's covering
and the captain presented it to the regi-
ment, to be hoisted over the capitol.
There it doated until it began to tear
in ribbons, when it vas taken down
and a e one placed on the building.
After the death Of Captain Driver, the
first "Old Glory was given to the
Essex institute at Salem, where it is
still preserved, and may be seeu by
the curious.

Improve Beet Sugar Seed,

BOzEMAN, July l0.-Dr. c. O, Town.
send Of the United States department
Of agriculture, who has been engaged
in some joint experiments with Pro-
fessor V. X. Chestnut of the expert.
ment station here, in the production
Of sugar beet seed, has been in the
city lately looking over the situation.
He reported that the outlook here was
excellent, though it,would take several
years to bring the experiments to a
successful termin alton. At present
nearly all the sugar beet seed used in
the United States is brought from
Germany, and the department OF az.
riculture is trying to find a place
where it may be successfully raised in
this country. Beets ordinarily do
not mature their seed until the second
year.
DR.. Townsend is also engaged in
experiments for breeding a beet that
will grow pods with only one seed,
instead OF the large number which up-
der ordinary circumstance averages
about five. About two per cent. of the
pods are ordinarily one seeded. BY
picking out these one seeded pods and
planting them five years DR.. Townsend
succeeded in getting q crop Of pods
that vas about . per cent one seeded.
Last year as q result OF the same pro-
cess Of selection the percentage was
increased to 50. The doctor does not
hope to maintain this rate Of increase
for another year, however. but will be
satisfied il he secures q gain Of ten per
cent. more.
The advantages Of oue.seeded beet
pods is that they can be planted at
regular intervals with one plant to
the hill, and so save the expensive
process OF thinning. as we'll as permit
easier cultivation and harvesting.
The experiment Of breeding the one
seeded pods is therefore Of the first

Investigating the SmeIter Trust.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The grea.
smelter trust headed by SimonaGug-
Renheim. senator.elect from Colorado,
has fallen under the ban of the federal
authorities and trust. busting experts
are conducting an Investigation to
determine whether it is not q combin.
alton in violation OF law. 1t is ex.
pected to base q suit for dissolution
of the corporation and possibly Grim.
inal proceedings on the evidence &C.
cumulated.
1t is known positively that q state
ment was submitted personally to
President Roosevelt in whichjiis was
alleged that through approximately
absolute control of smelling in the
United States the trust has become 90
powerful that it Is able to dictate ore
rates on the rail lines aggreg at;ng
30 to 40 thousand miles, which are
controlled by E. Hartman and Jas.
j. Hill and that the independent min.
ers have been crowded so closely to
the wall that many of them must
either go into bankruptcy or submit

Largest Reservoir In the World.

In South as 10 North America, ma.
ture does her work on q grand
scale. and one OF her noblest achieve.
ments Is the Amazon river. Rising in
the Andes, it flows across the cont.
nent and discharges into the Atlantic
ocean at the equator. The vastness
of the area which it drains. amount
ing to 1858. 900 square miles, will be
evident when it Is borne in mind that
this is more than the area of Russia
in Europe and Austria.Hungary. 1t
has a length Of nearly 1000 miles, is
navigable for fully $500 miles from
the sea, and is fed by numerous
streams which in any other country
would be ranked as great rivers. In
the wet season, which lasts for about
eight months, its width varies from
five miles to 400. No wonder the ANA.
1on has been called a gigantic reser-
voir rather than a river.

Want Fees For Charity.

CHICAGO, July s.-The Standard
O'l company, which is facing q dne in
the United States court of q possible
wv ,OOO. 600, was asked yesterday by
Chicago Salvation Army lasses to
give them the odd 81, 200 in mileage
and witness fees earned by John D.
Rockefeller and others, so that more
babies Of the hot tenements may
breathe fresh country air for . week.
The %company's msgnste forgot all
about this small matter of 81, 200 and
left 1t in the hands of the government.
John S. Miller, their attorney, told
District Attorney Sims that he thought
his Witnesses did not care about the
$3.50 . day they earned and the 800
apiece in mileage and would not even
claim II.
Rockefeller returned to Cleveland
Saturday night and left his 500 in
the hands OF Marshal Hoy, enough
money to send 40 babies to the coun.
try-perhaps save their lives in this
hot weather. There we're fourteen
witnesses in all who came before the
court. Each is entitled by law to a
fee OF $3.50 and five cents a mile for
every mile travelled going and com.
ing. Roughly, this amounts to q total
OF $1,000. 1t was this fund that the
lssses Of the Salvation Army deter.
mined should not lie idle.

IN expending money to fence in the
acres rented from the government.
Now the Miner submits, that from
the standpoint OF the citizen of Mon
tana who desires to see the state rap.
idly settled, there is nothing whatever
to choose between illegal and legal.
lied fencing of the public lands.
In either case be would be a cour.
ageous homebuilder who would take up
a claim inside some ranchman's i'm
men pasture.
Whether the catslemau pays rent for
the privilege, or boldly takes posses
sion of the land without consulting the
government, the result is exactly the
same, and that il in either case the
stu alton is not encouraging to the
settler.
The case Is exactly like that Of gam
bling.
When Montana licensed this vice
the state made il legal, but it vas not
one whit more desirable on that &C.
count, and it did just as much harm.
To fence the public domain under
authorization Of the government would
be equally detrimental to the welfare
Of the state, as to inclose great areas
Of the range contrary to the United
States statutes.
There would be no difference ia the
general result.
II it Is bad for the commonwealth to
have the land fenced without paying
tribute to the federal government, it
is just exactly as injurious to have the
same thing done under color OF law.
This fact should be patent to every.
one who gives the subject any thought
at all,

WOULD DISCOURAGE SETTLE
MENT.

1t occurs to the Butte Miner that
fencing portions of the public domain
under the proposed leasing system,
would be as detrimental to the inter-
ests OF the general community Is the
unlawful acts for which several Of
tenders have been punished in the
courts. Its view OF the matter is ex-
pressed in an article which says:
This newspaper 10 not holding q
brief for those who have recently been
brought up with q round turn for
fencing in large areas Of the public
domain, nor does it desire to discuss
their cases Is long as some OF the
most important of these suits have
not yet been heard, but the Miner does
desire TO call attention to one phase
Of this matter which should moi be
overlooked.
The present administra alton advo-
Gates an entirely new land policy as
far as the public domain is concerned
It is double.headed policy for the
eason it advocates the passage OF a
law to levy a grazing fec upon all
classes Of livestock, where that plan
appears to be desirable, and further,
it wants to have sufficient latitude
given it to lease the open range out
right when that course may seem to bt
more desirable.
Those who have spoken in congreS:
in favor of this last act mentioned
features Of this dual policy, have saii
that it was their desire to make :,
possible to legalize the fencing of tht
public lands, and that large cattlemer
would be given leases running for {
sufficient length of time to justify then

WHAT TO INVENT.

You don't have to be an inventor to
invent. Some OF our greatest inveu.
tors started out in other lines. The
majority sof the great invention in
America are due to men who stumbled
onto improvements 10 their work.
Thomas A. Edison, who has taken
out nearly 500 patents, started work
at II years sf age as q newsboy on the
Grand Trunk railroad. For more
than 10 years he was q telegraph
operator, it was not until he was 81
years old that he took out his first pa.
tent.
Benjamin Franklin, who first put
electricity to practical use. was q
printers apprentice at the age of II,
and it was not until he was As years
old that he finally found electricity.
The inventor Of the telephone, Alex.
ander G. Bell, was q Scotchman, who
came to this country In 1870 as .
teacher of deaf mutes, and then became
professor in the University OF Boston.
Eli Whitney, OF cotton gin fame,
was a teacher in Georgia, where fret
he realized the Importance Of the i'm
provement which he later made.
Robert Fulton, who invented the
steamboat, and Samuel F.. B. Morse,
the telegraph man, both were artists
until they each saw greater oppor-
tunities and grasped them.
From o commercial standpoint the
linotype Is one of the greatest sue.
cesses. This invention was practi.
cally stumbled upon by a German
matchmaker, Ottmar anth aler,
who came to this country in 1872.
A man was walking along the street
one day when he happened to stumble
over a ~trapdoor hinge in the sidewalk.
He cursed the hinge, looked back at
it, and wondered who they had to have
hinges that protruded from the side.
walks. The result of that stumble was
the sunken hinge for trapdoors, which
is universally used now. This man
literally stumbled into a fortune.
There are thousands of simple things
for which the world is crying, the in
vention of any one Of which would
bring a fortune to its originator.
There always has been a demand for
a handle for cooking utensils which
will not get hot.
Women forever are putting new
braids on the bottom of their skirts.
An attachment to prevent these from
wearing out, or a new, more durable
braid would find a ready market.
Flexible glass is a mercantile need
which would bring a fortune to the
man who invented it.
You've noticed the dumps and ash
heaps full of tin cans. There undoubt-
eddy is a way of REFUSING the tin, but
as yet it has not been found.
Now they are using paper bottles in
places in which to deliver milk. A
better type of bottle that a be used
a second time is needed greatly.
An envelope that cannot be opened
without detection has never been
made, aud there is a big demand for
such a thing.
Large dealers in fish long have been
looking for q machine which will scale
q great number of fish at the same
time. \ self-feeding paint brush and
a self.feeding putty tool are needed,
and easily could be made by a mar
with the proper amount of originality
and initiative.
