Holman Days New Novel.
tKennebec Journal.

"King Spruce" is out, the new
novel of the Maine woods by Hol-
man Day and it is book which can
not fail to add to the popularity of
our bt st known Name writer with
the reading public. The spirit of the
story is the same as that which has
shown forth from some Of Mr.. Days
best poetic works, the spirit of the
great woods, of the lumber camp and
the drive. The story is one of alb
sorbing interest and is told as only
Holman Day eau tell it. There is
perhaps less character study tnan in
esquire PhiD,n but there is more
action and the tale Is sustained at
high tension throughout. There IL
nothing about the story suggestive OF
the text book, but the reader, with
such wealth of wood lore put before
him in such attractive form, cannot
help Tearing lot of practical forestry
and getting better knowledge Of
Maine woods and Maine woods life
than he ever had before. With the
vivid narrative of the hero's strenu-
Gus fight for his rights in the woods
and on the river are the threads OF a
very pretty love story deity woven
in and the sketching of some of those
old characters which MIR. Day is
always discovering The great fire
in the forest, the mysterious girl of
the woods, the wild ride of the lum-
Der load let loose down the hill, the
blowing up of the dam, the mad race
of the logs, the hunt for the hero's
sweetheart lost in the winter woods,
the fight of the rival crews-these are
all teeming with YirIlity that makes
them rank with the best things Mr..
Day has given us. The whole story
is vital with the strong passions of
strong men, and every chapter is
favored with the pungent, native
humor of the woodsman. 1t is big,
strong, tender story which Maine
should he proud to have 60 out to
the world. The book is from the
press of Harper 4 Brothers, New
York.

1t is officially decided that Water
vile will have the annual meeting of
the State grange Dec. 11-17. Colby
faculty voted unanimously to change
the dates OF the fall and winter terms
so that the delegates to the grange
meeting should have the use of the
college buildings. AS originally ar
ranged the fall term was to have
closed Dec. ~ and this would have
been too late for the grange meetings.
The faculty has decided now to close
the term Dec. IA and to open the
winter term a week earlier.
1t Is stated that the steamer Bel
fast, a sister ship of the Camden, now
being built at the Bath Iron Works,
will not be completed in time for
this season but will undoubtedly be
ready for the summer of 1909.

He was GA years of age.
For more than a year Mr.. Collins
had been in i'll health and last Febru-
ary. while in charge of the affairs of
the State Savings bank in Butte, he
suffered ali attack of paralysis. For
several months he was confined to his
home and his death was not unex-
pected. When the end came he was
surrounded by all but one of the i'm
mediate members of his family. The
telegram announcing his demise
reached his son Walter E. Collins, in
Helena, after the departure of the
night train for Great Falls.
Mr.. Collins was born in County
| Cork, Ireland Apr. Is. 1874. He came

ART DEPARTMENT

A collection of Japanese prints will
be one of the attractions of the Art
Department of the State Fair this
fall. The collection will be the larg-
est ever shown in this state, and will
include prints from both the old
masters and modern artists. Among
them are a number of the famous
Hirashigi snow storms and rain
storms. Of the modern artists per-
haps the almost monochrome Konen's s
are the most attractive, gray. shad-
oWy water scenes with just a touch
of color being the most characteris-
tic.
The work of the Helena Arts and
Crafts Society will be extensively
shown at the fair this year. Hand
some lamp shades, lanterns, trays
and bowls in copper and brass, pen
dants and buckles in silver set with
stones, are among the articles made
by the members of this society.
Many attractive and original articles
in stenciling will be exhibited. This
mode of decoration for curtains
couch covers. table runners, etc !, is
deservedly becoming very popular
and many will be interested in this
part of the exhibit.

ing. Probably 1000 penitents will be
assembled when the final destination
has been reached.
Many of the Indians from Poplar
have passed through Glendive dur
ing the past few days, bent on this
mission. The assembled redmen and
their tepees at the big encampment
will be a sight worth crossing con-
tinent to see. A few of the Poplar
Indians took the train from here to
Terry, and will proceed thence over
the Milwaukee.

OFF FOR PARK
Winners in Monitor Contest Now Enjoying Ozone
of the Great Government Reserve.

With happy anticipations of the
treat in store for them, the four
young ladies making the tour of the
Yellowstone Park as guests of the
Monitor, left on No. Monday even
ing for Livingston, from whence they
were to transfer to Gardiner and the
wonders of the Yellowstone. E. A
Martin of the Monitor accompanied
them as far as Gardiner to see that
they were properly started on their
pleasure trip.
Pursuant to expectations the vote
in the contest during the last week
was several times that of all the other
weeks combined. With the end in
sight it was apparent that the Misses
Lucas and Calvin in the city and Miss
Rice in the outside district would be
comparatively easy victors. The
only close contest lay between Miss
Harper of Sidney and Miss Simard of
Newton. Miss Harper was slightly
in the lead for few days before the
close, but as the end of the voting
came in sight, Miss Simard jumped
ahead and came out with several
thousand votes to spare. The books
governing the contest are now open to
the public and may be examined by
the contestants or their friends at any
time. All votes are very accurately
figured and tabulated.

TO STANDING ROCK

The famous Standing Rock Agency
in South Dakota is the Mecca to-.
wards which Indians of four states
are now vending their way. From
Montana, Nebraska, Minnesota and
South Dakota the former savage
tribesmen, with their squaws and
napooses have taken up the march
to the Standing Rock, to be in at
tendance at the big missionary meet
Yellowstone monitor. [volume] (Glendive, Mont.) 1905-1928, 1908-09-03

The Monitor is more than satisfied
with the result, as the amount of sub
scriptions and new business brought
to this office will ultimately more
than compensate for the considerable
expense involved. The contestants
were all greatly pleased with the fine
trip in prospect and the comparatively
small amount of work among their
friends required to secure it. They
and their friends were all loud in their
praise of the enterprise of this fami-
ly journal in providing these fine trips
for the popular young ladies of this
county.
The Park season is really at it's
best at present, with the cool, bracing
air of its higher altitude. It is uni
versally conceded that the travel for
the present season in Wonderland has
been greater than ever before. Not
only the general public from all parts
of America and abroad has made the
tour, but the procession of notables
passing the Park portals the present
season has been unprecedented. The
friends of the Monitor contestants can
readily realize from this short outline
the treat that is in store for their
favorites on this fine tour. The
travel in the Park is being made by
the ever-popular Wylie way, which,
is truly unexcelled.

time the Dakota boys pushed forward
on the right and formed a semi-circle
around the Blues, with a fire that
would have been fatal to most of the
men.
During this melee in front, one bat
talon of Idaho men with troop of
cavalry made a wide detour around
the Brown right, and under cover of
the trees, the cavalry made brilliant
charge.
The forty-fve Idaho men, who by
this time had succeeded in rounding
the flank, charged forward in the face
of the fire of the entire regiment,
which by this time had changed front
to meet the force they expected would
follow the cavalry charge.
At the same time the Third infan-
try and the Second infantry were hav-
ing little game of war all to them
selves. AS the Third outnumbered the
Second, three to one, the fighting was
soon over. Maj. Moore's orders to the
Third to attack the left flank of the
Browns, failed to get there in time,

fight. Seattle Post st-Intelligencer.
