LiehtS for StevenSville and
Victor

George l. Waters, the Victor mer-
chant, was IN Steven sville IN company
with ]. C. Hodge of Tacoma Tuesday.
The latter gentleman is looking into
the l0Al conditions with view to
establishing an electric plant for the
lighting of Stevensville and Victor
He has already received assurances
that practically every business house
in Victor will use the lights if he will
install them, and during his brief
visit in Stevensville he received con-
siderable encouragement here. While
he has not yet definitely decided to
build the plant, he is much impressed
with the two towns and the opportun-
tiles of this section. The plant, if
built, will be located on one of the
streams flowing from the mountains
on the west side of the valley, one
power plant supplying the lights for
both towns. If there is sufficient de-
mand a day service will also be fur
nished to supply power for machinery.

Burbank's achievements with the
daisy are more fascinating than a
fairy tale. From England, Japan,
Germany, Australia everywhere
where DAISIES grew-he got seeds of
the best varieties, not few but
hundreds, thousands. These were
carefully planted and watched with
closest care. They were all going to
be slain, but out of their death was to
come new daisy, larger, more beau
tful, more hardy, and that would
flower in every climate perennially.
The result wds his "Shasta" daisy,
one of the most beautiful flowers ever
seen-of clear brilliant white, great
size, the center of pure yellow resting
upon slender yet strong stems. Ten
thousand seeds required for this one
experiment? Yes, and often the 1000
become $4,000 or 1000 or 500,0 be-
| fore he gets what he wants. 1t IS this
large dealing that has differentiated
Mr.. Burbank's plans from those o!
other men. He speedily learned that
great results are not to be obtained
from inadequate methods. The 10000
daisy seeds were only a starter
Millions and millions of daisies were
grown from these seeds, and it was
only after the experiments were com
pleted, and the habits of the "Shasta'
permanently fixed, that the expert
mental plants were destroyed .-Circlt

Some New Regulations fol
Shipment Of Lumber

Helena, Aug. 10.-Lumber tariffs on
the Northern Pacihc IN Montana have
been fully adjusted to the satisfaction
of the company and the railroad COM
mission. Assistant General Frei ght
Agent Alair who was here ad justing,
VITA Q. w. Tong, rate clerk of the
co,n,nls sion, the tariff schedule to in
termediate points in Montana, has re-
turned to St. Paul. The tariffs as
prepared by Mr.. Tong were adopted
and will go into effect. The rates to
the intermediate points are better than
those that were In effect up to June 80,
when the NorthernPacificr raised prices.
What is technically known as the cubi'
cal capacity maximum is now In effect
in Montana. 1t means that hereafter
a shipper will have to load a car he re-
ceives from the railroad clear to the
roof. He will not be allowed to fill it
only half way and compel the railroad
to haul but a half-loaded car. 1t is
believed that this regulation will re-
lieve in some measure the car famine.

Sawdust Cases Settled

The "sawdust cases" instituted by
Special State Game Warden Chas. b.
Peyton were ali finally disposed OF
last Wednesday by Judge Myers. The
Ravalli Land and Irrigation company
and the Anaconda Copper Mining
company, charged with failure to pro
vide proper fish ladders, and who nave
since complied with the law IN this
respect, pleaded guilty and were each
fined $50 The complaint against
Leslie Sutherland charged with dump
ing sa wdust in a stream was dismissed
on account of lack of evidence and the
case against r. L. Harper, charged
with the sane offense was also dis
missed, although Mr.. Harper had to
resort to habeaus corpus proceedings
at one stage of the game to secure his
liberty.

AnCOna Fowl.

The Aucona is handsome black and
white mottled foul, approa ching the
Leghorn in shape, with golden yellow
shanks and oeaks, large, bright red
single combs and white ear lobes, says
the secretary of the American Ancona
club. They have a wild peculiar ex-
preston and are as beautiful and in
teresting as useful. AS early as 1852,
as appears from d table in the English
Agricultural Gazette, four birds OF
this breed produced in twelve months
928 eggs, or 232 for each hen, record
which, if correct, puts in the shade
any of our present breeds or strains.
They have always had the reputation
of being wonderful layers of medium
sized eggs Qarger than the Orping-
tons) and weighing more than those
of nearly any breed irrespective OF
size. In the government experiment
station in New South Wales they have
surpassed all other breeds as egg pro
ducers. They are short and stout, ex
tremely hardy, of rare beauty ant
peculiar attractlvenss and are mucf
admired by those "who KNOW botf

is true that the codling moth has made

rigidly quarantined and all necessary
precautions taken to prevent its spread
The codling moth in many localities
is one of the worst nlenaces to the or

in this section under most favorable

in other localities, although in time
if unchecked, it would overrun this

Chinese Stewards on Pacific Liners.

We sailed from San Francisco, bound
for Honolulu, ON a ship whose stewards
and sailors are Cinnamon. Even IL all
does not go well with the boats motion
in days of storm, one cannot fail to be
entertained by these spry sons of the
orient.
The costume worn by the stewards is
quite remarkable. For ordinary eY-
eryday wear they don white garments
that resemble American pajamas III
their style of cut and fit For dinner
each evening and on Sundays the white
suits are exchanged for light blue gar
ments of the same scription-rather
an odd livery to our prosaic minds! or
course, every Chinaman preserves a
habitual, solemn silence. If, owing to
IN interesting conversation, the passen-
ger fails to notice the dish with which
the table steward is trying to serve
him the patient Chinaman stands i'm
movable, with outstretched hand and
sphinxlike countenance, until attention
is drawn to him, after which, his duty
done, he slips in silence on his way.
Plodding, silently, the sailors attended
/ to their duties with mournful faces that
strongly appealed to me. They ate
with chop sticks, sitting on their heels
the while, and were, in fact, eminently
satisfactory specimens In every way

GEORGE B. HAYNES of Chicago,
~ formerly travelling DaSSenper

GEORGE B. HAYNES of Chicago,
- formerly travelling passenger
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee s.
St. Paul railroad. and P. II. Seaman,
commercial agent for that road, with
headquarters in Butte spent Friday in
Hamilton and vicinity.
Mr.. Haynes is gathering informa-
tion about the farming lands and
agricultural Inducements along the
new line of road, which will be COM
pleted to Butte by January next and
to Missoula the following summer.
Mr.. Haynes expressed anazement
at the beauty and fertility of the
wonderful Bitter Root valley. He
said he had heard d great deal about
this valley but did not have the faint
est conception of it's possibilities until
he came here. He says that the Mil
waukee will undoubtedly build d
branch line to command the traffic of
the entire valley.
Mr.. Haynes left Chicago a month
ago and came as far as Glenham, the
present terminus of the ST. Paul in
South Dakota, and from there he trav-
eled by team to Miles City, along the
route of the ST. Paul extension,
familiarizing himself with the coun-
try. New track has been laid miles
west from Glenham, and construction
all along the line is making rapid
progress. From Miles City, Mr.. Hay
mes followed the road to the Judith
basin country, in which he spent a
week.
"When the farmers of Indiana, H.
linois, Wisconsin and Iowa hear of
what Montana has to offer them, they
will be coming out here in carload
! lots" said Mr.. Haynes while here.
1.-The st. Paul is very much interested
in opening the western country and
| will do everything it can to build il
up. The fact that the road is being
built has attracted great deal of at
| tention to this country and we are
getting great many inquiries for in
formation, and this we are now try ing
to supply.
