SNOW FLOWS ON RANGES
How Montana sheepmen Provide Pas
 ture for Their Flocks

Modern methods are being praetieed on the ranges of eastern Montana these days, and 1 do not believe there will ever be any great losses reported here after among livestock raisers, said one of the residents of Miles City.
 ''The use of snow blows on the ranges is B comparatively new practice. It is working for good all the time, and is coming in for more and more use as it's advantages are learned.
 "The invention is simple one, and it is wonder that it was not put to practical use years ago in the range country. The blow is generally made by two l6ineh blanks bolted togeether so that they form a gigantic V. The forward part of the V is iron shod and the entire eontrivance is loaded with heavy boulders or other weights. Four horses are hitched to the blow and the driver, generally with an assistant or two, starts across the range country. The snow is crowded to either side and leaves a trail of bare ground twenty feet wide, the sheep following eagerly behind and getting the grass free of snow with little exertion.
 As the grass is plentiful in all of the range area, the snow blow in the course of half day s work clears of n patch of ground over which the sheep can graze in comparative comfort. In this manner one of the greatest men aces of winter time-deep snow--is met. Occasionally the snow drifts and packs hard; at other times a chinook will pre- vail and. after the surface of snow is softened up a change in the weather will be experienced, and the snow freeze so hard that it will bear the weight of a horse. When these conditions prevail an ordinary disk harrow will be secured, four horses being attached.
 'This cuts up the snow and the snow blow following clears the way for the sheep, which soon learn to follow along in the trails They wait anxiously on the bed grounds every morning for the appearance of the blow during the snowy weather. True, when the wind blows and the snow is drifting, thee blow is of but little use, but at all other times it is most valuable implement to the sheep owners in the range coun. try, and the cattle owners are also learning to take advantage of its prac- tieal benefits. ''--Anaconda Standard.

RICHES IN coRNsTALKs
Enough Power Now Wasted to Run All
 the Nations Machinery

Professor Wiley of the department of agriculture, says that inasmuch as ey- cry one hundred pounds of eornstalks will yield six and half pounds of absolute alcohol it is obvious that the ignorant agrieulturist has been allowing an enormous amount of wealth to go to waste.
 Say that one acre will yield from eth to twelve tons of grain stalks, O. about 10000 pounds, and you have a quantity of raw material which will produce 1900 pounds of absolute alcohol. or 2l6 gallons. Alcohol at the preesnt time is worth 40 cents gallon.
 Ground in wet condition and dried, eornstalks may be kept indefinitely, and are ready at any time for conversion into alcohol. Professor Wiley says that the alcohol derivable from the corn. stalks that now go to waste in this country would furnish the requisite power for all our automobiles, heat and illuminate all of our houses and light the streets of every city in the Union Leslie's Weekly

HOUGHTON HAS
 A STEEL PLANT
New Industry Established in Copper Country Last Week-New Foundry Makes First Steel Ever Made in Northern Michigan.

A new industry has been started in Houghton and the day is not far dis tant when Houghton steel will be heard of, all the way from the 500 on the east and as far as Duluth, says the Houghton Mining Gazette. Late last evening the Carroll foundry turned out its first steel, and this marks the begin upper peninsula, but in the entire north. ern section of the state of Michigan Steel was actually made, that is, iron was converted into this more useful and more expensive article, and the Hough ton foundry is running fully equipped ready for business, and will continue to run from now on.
 The process whereby the steel is made is what is known as the Tropenas system, and the converter used is known as the Tropenas converter. Engineer McFerran, who is in charge of the steel manufacture, is very well satisfied with the showing made yesterday during the test, and has about settled down to the
 
 can look upon his labor, and that of his men, and say "well done, - and be modest when he says it.
 There is no doubt that the prepara. tions for the manufactu ture of steel in this city have meant the outlay of a considerable sum of money, and Carroll brothers, who accomplished their end last night, when the first steel came out of the huge engine, have shown that they had the required faith in the future of the upper peninsula and of Houghton county in particular to take the chance, for an element of chance there is beyond a doubt, in any new enterprise. The new foundry-as far as steel is concerned-will supply the local trade, meaning thereby the trade from the Soo to Duluth, and as much more as wants to be supplied. Steel castings will be turned out at first, but this is only the beginning.
 The community will profit by the starting here of the new industry, since it implies the engagement of mum. Der of men skilled in their trade, and of the better and more intelligent class, It will tend to bring the name of Houghton and the copper country from time to time before the people, and thereby will serve as an advertisement of rare value.
 The firm, which at first experienced considerable difficulty in securing iron on which to work, has now on hand some two hundred tons of the material and due care will be taken not to run put at any time in the future. eircum- stances permitting.

CONSTRUCTING THE CANAL

One reason for the president $ de- cision to build the Panama canal di- rectly as government work rather than by general contract has not been pub licly mentioned, but very probably ex- isted in his mind.
 It has been evident from the ineep- ton of this great undertaking that the transcontinental railroads and the Pa cifie steamship lines were hostile to the canal. They have inspired their spokes' men to advocate impractieable routes and to bring objections of all sorts to the plan adopted by our government. It is believed in Washington that the long-reaching fingers of some of these railroad magnates have muddled the work already begun, and that this inhu- enee is responsible for the resignation of some of the civil engineers who have deserted it.
 With the government dOing the wOrk itself, under the direction of army en- gineers, there will be no more trouble of this sort And if the contract sys- tenn shall seem best for certain portions of the work, there will be no difficulty in letting these sections separately. The main thing is to 'make the dirt fly, and keep it flying-to push the work Tn manner that shows the government possible time. This the people believe to be the president s purpose, and they are confident he will "push things now that his hands are free and strengthened.
