an DUKE

No one admires the beauty, vivacity and wit
Of American women more than King Edward and
the duke of Connaught. Both constantly seek
the society of their cousins from across the sea,
but in this the kings motives are more unselfsh
than those which actuate his brother. The king
asks only to be entertained spiritually, so to say;
the duke looks to his material welfare.
When the duke of COnnaught goes to his
London house for a week he always arranges to
dine out every night. Stiff English society bores
the duke and his wife; they must be drawn out"
1t is very difficult really to amuse them. But the
generosity of American women appeals to the
duke, as well as their wit and beauty. Indeed
the duke of Connaught is developing a miserli-

MISS WHO TILTED A DUKE

Miss Theodore Shonts, the daughter of Theo
dore P. Shonts, president of the Panama cana
commission, did not say she was not engaged tc
be married to Due de Chaulnes. She said
instead: 81 am not guilty" This is taken by
friends of Miss Shonts as being an exceedingly
direct way OF rapping the ducal pride. The
Frenchman has been an untiringly persistent
wooer, and if this mot guilty" slap does not COO
his ardor probably nothing will.
Miss ShOnts and her sister, Marguerite, II
has been widely announced, will enter Washing
ton society this winter. AS a matter of fact, they
have been in society-way in-for more than q
year. They were presented at half the courts
in Europe last year and King Edward was sc

SENATOR INVOLVED IN FRAUDS

Francis Emroy Warren, whose name han

VISIT SETS STATESMEN THINKING

Is the antagonism of Greece to the Roman
church breaking down? This is the big question
in the minds Of churchmen and statesmen to-day
following the visit of King George of Greece tc
the Vatican. The king was accompanied by his
daughter, Grand Duchess Michaelovitch of Rus
STA. The pope and his court received them with
royal honors and the audience lasted half an hour
King George himself has not shared his PEG
pies a~ntipathy to all things Roman. He was &
Danish prince of 18 when he assembled the Hell
lenic throne. His foreign birth may have led the
Greeks to be more outspoken against Rome thar
they ordinarily would, but during his long reig1

antagonism on the part of the Hellenic against the Latin world.
1t is the previous course Of King George in bowling to the will of his peo

that a change of sentiment may have cone ove the Greeks.

May Debate
With Spokane

The Hamilton High school, which
last year was champion in all Montau a
in the State High School Debating
League, has challenged the Spokane
High school to a debate. Hamilton's S
first contest was to have been with
Deer Lodge, but Deer Lodge has de-
faulted, and Professor Owens, desir-
ing to give the Hamilton team as
much practice as possible, hurled a
challenge at Spokane. In case Spo-
kane does not accept, contest be
tween the high school debaters and
local attorneys will take place in Ham
ilton.
Professor Hart, principal of the Spo.
kane High school, was principal of the
Butte High school last year, and
trained the Butte team which Hamil.
ton defeated. He knows the standing
Hamilton has gained and will prob
ably accept the challenge if he has a
team which he thinks can beat Hamil-
ton. Up to last night Professor
Owens had not heard from Spokane.

PRESIDENT NAMES
THE COMMISSION
TO INSPECT, CLASSIFY AND AP-
PRAISE FLATHEAD LANDS.
RESERVATION TO OPEN NEXT YEAR
x,4z5, 900 Acres in Big Reserve, Some
First Glass Land---lndians
Get I75, 700 Acres.

The appointment of the Flathead
reservation commission by President
Roosevelt is announced from Wash
ington. The act of congress opening
the Flathead reservation provides
that the commission shall consist of
five members, two of which shall be
citizens of the state of Montana, two
members shall be men holding tribal
relations, and the fifth shall be a
special Indian agent or Indian in
spector.
The commission named by the pres
ident is as follows: Andrew ]. Logan,
of Missoula; ex-Sheriff Hubbard, of
Kalispell; John Matt and young
Angus Mcdonald and Inspector SAILS
man of the Interior department.
Under the provisions of the act the
commission must meet and organize
within 80 days at some point on the
reservation by the election of some
one of their number as chairman. The
commission is also empowered to Sc
lect clerk at salary not to exceed

MUST PRUNE
APPLE TREES
APPLES TO BE MARKETABLE
MUST HAVE COLOR.
sun MUST PLAY ON The FRUIT
Too Much Foliage Checks Maturity
of Products of
the Experts.

Apple buyers who came into the va1-
ley this fall to secure the Bitter Roots
choice products are all of the opinion
that large percentage of the crop
, was lost because of failure to prune
the trees. This is one of the prime
essentials of apple culture. The in
structtons given by the experts who
visited the valley will no doubt be
followed closely next year.
An apple does not come to maturity
! until it gets the color that belongs to
its kind. So say the experts. With
out color it will not command the
tempting prices paid for high grade
apples in eastern markets. These
markets want nothing but the choicest
fir uit, and do not consider the cost if
the products are good.
Pruning will have to be applied ex-
tensively in the Bitter Root before
the various varieties of apples are
properly colored and the entire crop
made marketable. The sun imparts
the color, and when the foliage is too
thick to permit the sunlight to play
on the apples, they do not ripen.
Thus only part of the crop is salable.
Another thing noticed by the ex-
perts was that MANY trees are per-
mitted to remain overloaded, being
propped up to assist them in bearing
the weight. This saps the vitality of
the tree, causing it perhaps to miss
bearing the next season. Besides the
entire output of such tree cannot be
sold.
The Bitter Root valley must acquire
reputation for raising nothing but
| high-grade fruit. The Hood river
valley of Oregon gets almost as much
again for it's apples as the Bitter Root,
because it has built up a reputation
by making the entire output of the
valley salable. An inferior product
is never permitted to leave the valley.
Proper pruning will do much toward
building up such reputation for the
Bitter Root apple.

Wesley Barcus

ected to an operation. He, noticing
a black mark on her face, remarked
that if she did not wash her face he
would do so and threw his arm around

were present corroborated this test
imony.
The defendant did not take the
stand and his attorney, Mr.. O'Hara,
! submitted the case without argument,
whereupon Justice Morris dismissed

charged.
After the trial Mr.. Barcus stated

The Flathead reservation contains
approximately 1,425 900 acres of land,
of which IFS, 900 have been allotted to
the Indians, leaving 1,250, 900 acres to
be inspected, classified and appraised
by the commission. The land will be
divided into five classes:
First, agricultural land of the first
class.
Second, agricultural land of the Sec
ond class.
Third, timber land.
Fourth, mineral land.
Fifth, grazing land.
After the classification has been ap-
proved by the secretary of the inter-
ior, the lands will be disposed of under
the provisions of the homestead, min
eral and townsite laws of the United
States, except the timber lands and
sections 16 and SO, which said sections
in each township will be granted to
the state of Montana for school pur.
poses. The lands shall be opened to
settlement and entry by proclamation
of the president, which shall prescribe
the time when and the manner in
which the lands may be settled upon,
entered and occupied by persons en-
titled to make entry thereof. No one
will be permitted to settle upon or
make entry of the lands except as
provided by the proclamation. The
price of the lands shall be appraised
value, as fixed by the commission.
Settlers under the homestead law
who shall reside upon and cultivate
the land for five years, as required by
third of the appraised value, in cash,
at the time of entry, and the remain
