1t will require 100000 feet OF
lumber to build the wheat ware

Germany's revision of its railway
tariff involves a multiplication of
tickets. 1t is said that traveller
with small family going from Mul-
hausen to Basle-not a long Jour
ney. by any means--is furnished with
sixty tickets, in addition to numerous
luggage checks for his impedimenta.
The oyster is the most valuable
Of the fishery products. The crop
for 1906 was S2.O0O,OOO bushels,
valued at 100000. The high
sea fisheries for cod. haddock, hall
but. mackerel and herring brought
S7,500,000. The Great Lakes yielded
over $2,700,OO0.
The Swedish city of Orsa, in the
course of a generation, has sold
$5,750,000 worth of trees, and by
means of judicious replanting has
provided for a similar income every
thirty or forty years. In conse-
quence of the development of this
commercial wealth there are no
taxes. Railways and telephones are
free and, SO are the school houses,
teaching and many other things.
When leaving their old home each
bee fills her honey sack so as to be
provided for the journey. When the
cells are finished and nearly filled
with honey, they are allowed to re-
main open few days that the extra
water may evaporate and the honey
be properly cured. They are then
sealed or capped over with wax and
the work is done. The wonderful
regularity of the honey-comb is a
beautiful tribute to the skill of the
tiny worker, while its slight irregu-
larities show 1t to be the work of in-
telligence rather than an unreason-
ing machine.

by Mr.. Elliott Woods, superintendent
of the capitol, for the construction OF
tunnels from the senate office building
to the senate end of the capitol and
from the house Of representatives Office
building to the house end Of the build
inc. These tunnels will be planned to
be big enough to accommodate dou-
BILE line Of tracks and footpath. An
other project is for single track, but
il il likely that the double track will
be adopted.
/ When this plan is adopted senators
and representatives will be able to &c
from the senate and house chambers

1t is now announced that the house

ready for occupancy by Dec. !, and the
senate office building will be ready fol
use about one year later.
! The only difficulty that will be en-
countered, it is believed, will be the
furnishing Of the building by Dec. !
All the furniture will be mahogany

calamity that has been looked
for and feared has befallen North
ern Montana, if the following report
proves true, ard while there is no
valid or apparent reason for doubt
ing the authenticity of the report,
yet it appears strange that news Of
this Importance should come first
from Canadian sources.
The Lethbridge News says: A. Ca
zier, Of the Cazier Bros. of Cards
ton Alta. who last Thursday signed a
$1,O00,000 contract for the digging of
the st. Mary's reclamation canal in
Montana, states that his firm has been
notified by the United States govern
ment that the wolls he's been called
off for the present, owing ID lack of
funds, the reclamation service having
been called off for the present, ow-
ing to lack of funds, the reclamation
service being supported by the sale
of the arid lands. The Suspension is
only temporary. Mr.. Cazier estim-
ates that the work will take two
years, there being 100000 yards of
earth to be moved.
The News announcement regarding
the awarding of the contract was
just one day in advance Of it's actual
signing by Cyrus G.. Babb, the chief
engineer, representing the govern
ment. a day later a telegram was re-
ceived, stating that the work could
not proceed Mr.. Babb thinks mat
ters will be ready to go on in a month
or so.
Mr. Cazier says about 500 men will
be employed in digging the big ditch.
The firm is now completing con-
tract for lowering the grades and
Strengthening curves on 25 miles Of

Eeying of the coal road from the rail-
way tracks in the city to the mines,
the engineering work being done by
Mr. a. W. Merrifield, c. e., and the
public surveyor Of this county. Sey-
eral lines were run and The line adopt
ed affords a much lighter grade than
had beer anticipated. It was thought
that the grade from the river bottom

cured is less than three per cent. The
line gives continuous down-grade
from the mine to the town terminals.
so that the motive power in bringing
in the coal will only have to control
the trip, and the light grade back
will make the hauling of the return
empties both rapid and easy. AS
socn as the crCss-secticning Of the
line is completed the roadbed will be
graded and the track laid, one hund-
red tons Of rails and the necessary
ties having been ordered, the former
from the east and the latter from
the summit country.
The construction of the big bunker
and tipple building and the building
for the power plant, beth of which
will be located On sidc-track to be
constructed for the company, will be
commenced just as soon as the ne
cessary material arrives, and that
will be inside of the next ten days.
If there are no long delays in Sc
curing machinery and material and
this is not anticipated, the coal COM
pany expects to have its plant estab-
lished and in operation inside Of six
ty days, and after that there will be
a steady stream of coal from the
mine, over the coal road, to the town
terminals, where it Will be hoisted

wait for three weeks there for a boat
on which to journey back to ciWili-

This is his first visit to the state
since those early days and he was
