BEST TRAIL TO
CLEARWATER
Forestry Guards at Work on
Shortcut to Famous
Old Hunting
Grounds.

Fred Printz, the well known guide
and hunter, accom- pa MED by Wood
Hart and Curtis Mattison, Of Darby,
came in from Blodgett canyon Thurs
day after stay Of several weeks.
Mr.. Printz was employed by the
National Forestry bureau TO open the
trail through Blodgctt canyon to
the Clearwateo. His party began
work at the summit and cleared the
trail to within three miles of the
mouth of the canyon, where the work
will be taken up by the local forestry
officials and completed.
Mr.. Printz has hunted and trapped
for years in the mountains of this
Treasure state and Alaska. He is
perfectly familiar with all the trails
into the Clearwater and he emphati-
cally declares that the Blodaett creek
trail is the shortest and best of all.
From the mouth of the canyon four
miles west Of Hamilton to the summit
at the head of Sand creek, it is Just
fourteen miles, and from there down
to the hunting country it is about an
hours ride. The trip from Hamilton
to the hunting grounds can be made
quite handily in one day, while by way
of LostHorse it is two days trip, He
predicts that in the future, since the
Blodgett trail has been opened, most
of the travel will go that way.
For some reason, perhaps because
of the financial storm that has been
raging among the wealthy men of
the east, no eastern hunting parties
have visited the Clearwater this
season. This is the first year the big
game hunters of the east and Europe
have passed up the Clearwater in
twenty years.

for all time to come. The soil and the
climate are peculiarly adapted to
apple culture and the orchards in this
state are free from the pests that dam.
age the products of other fruit grow
ing sections. The Montana orchards
can be kept free from the codling
moth and other terrors of the orchard
ist; so long as that is done the quality
of their output will be put up to the
present standard. With improved
methods of cultivation and the know
ledge gained through the experiments
of those who constantly seek new var
ieties, the Montana apple should i'm
prove from year to year.
Already the Bitter Root apple is
known outside of the state, Most of
the product of the valley orchards will
find a market this year in eastern GEN.
ters at prices that leave a fair profit
to the grower and with the introduce
tion of the fruit to the Chicago COM
mission men, it may be believed that
the demand will soon be far greater
than the suppy. Early in the present
season the growers demonstrated that
they were independent of Butte
and other Montana cities as a market.
Possibly we will be buying our Bitter
Root apples through Chicago co,nrnis-
sion houses next year.-Butte Inter

Inquiries About the Bitter Root.

l.. ID. Williams of Grantsdale last
week received letter from an old
Nebraska friend and comrade with
whom he used to go hunting in Michi-
gan years ago. The gentleman wrote
him that he had just returned from
Michigan, where he had been looking
over the old hunting grounds and that
on his return he stopped off in
Chicago and while knocking around
ran across the display of the Bitter
Root products, being maintained op-
posite the Chicago post Office by the
B. h. d. Irrigation company. In his
letter the writer declares it is the
finest exhibit of fruits and vegetables
he ever saw and wants to know if
such stuff really grows in the Bitter
Root and what the opportunities for
investment are. Mr.. sWilliams wrote
back that the Bitter Root valley was
the best section he had ever seen and
that investments in Bitter Root land
were gilt edge.

THE BITTER ROOT APPLE.

Speaking of the Bitter Root apple
the Butte Inter Mountain in a recent
issue says editorially:
The Bitter Root APPLE. known at
home as the most perfect of it's kind,
is going abroad. W. L. Moody, presi-
dent of the Bitter Root District Irri-
gation company, is arranging to ex-
hibit the pride of the valley in Chi
cago. If Chicago takes to it kindly
the Bitter Root apple will make reg
ular visits to the great city on the
lake. Properly introduced, the Mon
tana apple is sure of a hearty welcome
in Chicago, and Mr.. Moody intends to
make its merits known there. To that
end he has secured showroom on one
of the prominent downtown corners of
Chicago, which, it is estimated, is
passed by more than 100000 persons
daily. Among those thousands there
will be many who will be attracted to
the Bitter Root apple and who will be
given every opportunity to satisfy
their curiosity on that subject. Invita-
tions will be sent to all the produce
dealers in Chicago to examine the
product of the Bitter Root, which Mr..
Moody enthusia stica1ly declares to be
the best on earth. And Mr.. Moody
should know. He has made a study
of the subject and he has found
the apples grown in Montana to be
superior to those of the same variety
found elsewhere. There is a reason
for this, and it is one that will insure
the superiority of he Montana product

FATHER VAUGHN
TO SPEAK HERE
Great Dramatic Orator Will
be First Attraction on
the Lyceum Lee
ture Course.

The first number of the lecture
course will be given at the Luca S
opera house on the evening of October
28
This is the seventh successful sea-
son for Father Vaughan and when
ever he has appeared he has been
given an enthusiastic reception and is
called for again and again. Such
general popular success as he has
had occurs but once in lyceum de-
cade. Father Vaughan's every APP
pearance not only spells return date,
but goes over into mathematics and
adds from one to three extra engage
ments under other auspices.
AS a dramatic orator he has no SUI
perior. He has the rare power of
making popular the classic lecture.
His past experience before the foot
lights has given him perfect control
of his powerful voice and this, with
his fine presence and dramatic deliv-
cry, contributes to thrill his listeners
with the great truths he has to pre-
sent. Hrs Interpretation of Shakes
sperean characters is equal to that of
the greatest actors of the day. He
speaks with authority. He has mes
sage. There is neither dull sentence
nor moment that is not charged with
magnetic power. Father Vaughan is
great.
He has appeared before many Mon
tana audiences and with unqualified
success. He has likewise appeared in
hundreds of places in the east, all with
the same f1attering testimonials of
success. Edwin L. Barker of Chicago,
in the Lyceumite, has the following
to say:
"Father Vaughan is one of the huge
successes of the present lyceum.
Swift as his rise has been it is not
meteoric. There is plenty of room on
the platform for more lecturers of his
kind. I have heard some of the anvil
chorus wonder at his success. I won
dered bit myself, although thought
I knew. When / heard him l knew
and knew had known all the while.
The same fire that has kept the name
of Bryan burning in the heart-shrine
of the people is the underlying prin-
ciple of Father Vaughan's success
honest convictions and sincerity of
purpose. In listening to him you
never think of Father Vaughn-you
think only of his message, his serm on,
and the sincerity that lies back of it,"

FRANK TIMMONS
WILL RECOVER
Although Desperately Wound
ed by Accidental Dis
charge Of Shot
gun.

Frank Timmons, the 19-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Timmons,
was desperately wounded yesterday
morning by the accidental discharge
of his shotgun.
Young Timmons had been out on
the mill pond hunting ducks. Upon
returning to the bank he was in the
act of pulling the boat in the boat
house, when, somehow, his pump gun,
lying in the bottom of the boat, was
discharged. The gun was loaded with
No. S shot, and the entire charge tore
through the right side just below the
armpit. 1t is feared that some of the
shot may have been DETECTED by the
ribs, and penetrated the lungs.
Timmons was alone at the tim c,
but managed to walk to the home of
Mrs. Mary Toole, about one hundred
yards distant. Mrs. Toole telepboned
for assistance. DR.. McGrath respond
ed and dressed the wound, and the
young man was taken to the family
home on north Seventh street.
DR.. McGralh feels confident that if
lung complications do not ensue the
patient will speedily recover. as the
wound proper is not dangerous.

Team is Selected to
Represent Hamilton
High School Debating Team
to Meet Deer Lodge
90 in the First Contest.

Misses Ina Abbey, Winnifred ROM
ney and Mr.. Lloyd Chaffin will repre-
sent the Hamilton high school in the
series of debates to be conducted un-
der the auspices of the State High
School Debating League this year.
The members of the team were
selected on the merits of essays pre-
pared by them. Fourteen mem bers of
the high school class submitted COM
positions on the question, "Resolved,
that compulsory arbitration between
capital and labor should be adopted. :"
The papers were simply numbered
and handed to the Judges by Prof.
Owens. The judges who were chosen
by the contestants, were Judge H. L..
Myers, r. A. O'Hara and C. M.
Crutchfield.
All the high schools in the state, be-
tween Is and 20, are in the debating
league and all will struggle to win
the silver cup that was hung up last
year by the state university. This
cup is now held by the Hamilton high
school, the Hamilton team having car
ried off all the honors, both individual
and for team work last year. If Ham
ilton should win again this year the
trophy will remain permanently with
this school.
The first debate in the western d1-
vision will take place Dec. 6, be
tween Deer Lodge and Hamilton,
probably at Deer Lodge. The sides
will probably be determined by lot.

ton IL retained by the department "for

by special messenger to the govern

are made at the White House and

1t will thus be seen that the issuing
