A Phonetic Purchase Sc.

The late Henry Miller, who was
guide, philosopher and friend to many
book lovers within a thousand miles
salesman. One day he called on Coils
z. Huntington and showed him a rare
copy of book.
There are two volumes of this, "
said Mr.. Miller. 1.-THE other volume
is in perfect order, as you see this
one is. You cannot possibly let them
escape you, for you know you have
nothing like this in your library"
What is the price?" asked the rail
road king.
Seven hundred dollars" said the
bo0kman.
Those are too valuable volumes for
my library" Mr.. Huntington ex-
claimed. :,
Mr.. Miller went back to his place
and sent-the books to Mr.. Hunting
tons house with a bill for $500. Next
day the railroad king sent for him.
why did you send me those books ?"
he demanded sharply.
Because you bought them" was
the bookman's calm reply.
Il certainly did notv' cried the mil
lionaire.
"Oh, yes. you didw answered Mr..
Miller. You'll remember perfectly
well when i tell you what you said.
You told me distinctly, Those are
two valuable volumes for my libra

ments understood to have been
adopted by the electors of Idaho
last November were knocked out
by the supreme court. One pro-
vided for the abolition of probate
courts and the redistricting of
the state for judicial purposes.
The other authorized the en-
ployment of clerical assistance
by county assessors. The court
amendment is. held invalid for
several reasons, but especially
on the ground that the question
submitted to the electors involved
more than one amendment to the
constitution, each of which
should have been voted upon
separately. The amendment
providing clerical assistance was
found to be in conflict with the
court amendments. The opinion
says: Whereas, a section of
the constitution is amended at
the same time by two different
amendments and the amend
ments adopted are directly in
conflict and it is impossible to de-
termine which should stand as a
part of the constitution or to
reconcile the same. they both
must fail"

Upon woods of the third class valued

Would Raise Wool Tariff.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Warren of Wyoming will offer an
amendment to the tariff revision bill
proposing q duty of I cents per pound
on third class wool instead of 3 cents,
as fixed by the house bill. He will
also offer an amendment placing I'D
valorem duty on hides of 40 per cent,
and an amendment to eliminate the
reciprocity provision on coal and re.
tain its present tariff Of 81 cents per
ton.
The indications are that New Eng.
land senators who are opposing the
reduction of the duty on wood entering
into the manufacture Of wood pulp
will combine with western senators
and aid them in maintaining the duty
on wool, hides and coal, expecting
help in return to maintain the duty on
lumber.

n WOOL TARIFF.

The wool schedule of the new tariff
bill, which was introduced in congress-
the past week, and which 10 Of interest
to q large number of residents of Mon.
tana and other western states, does
not differ materially from the schedule
now in effect. As Montana is the
largest wool producing state in Am
erica, this feature of proposed tariff
legislation is of considerable impor-
lance to this part!of the country.
The present wool duties are eleven
cents per pound upon woods of class
one, which includes woods of Merino
blood and Down clothing woods; on
class two, which includes combing or
long woods, the duty is twelve cents
per pound. The law provides various
regulations to prevent the evasion oil
duty, and also contains q "skirting''
clause that applies to Australian
woods, q feature which is claimed to
exempt this class of imports from the
full amount Of duty they should pay.
According to press reports of the
Payne tariff bill, there is no change
contemplated in the duties upon wool
of classes one and two, and 1t Ia pre-.
sumed that the other provisions of the
Dingley law affecting such imports
are retained in the new measure.
Upon woods of class three, generally
known ss carpet woods, produced
principally in South America and
Asia, the present duties are: Four
cents per pound, II the market value

THE MILK RIVER TREATY.

An adjustment of the intern ations q
difficulty between the Canadian and
United States governments regarding
the diversion of the waters of ST.
Mary and Milk rivers, is promised by
the ratification of q treaty at the recent
session of congress. The proposition
was f~avorably considered by the
United States senate, and now awaits
action by the British government to
become effective.
The settlement of this controversy
10 understood to have been awaited by
the reclamation service before ex.
tensive work upon the Milk river irri.
cation project would be undertaken,
and the agreement that has been
reached should beifollowed by greater
activity in that connection. The &C.
ceptsnce Of the treaty removes what is
alleged to have been n of the great.
est causes OF delay.
According to alW ashington corres.
pondent, the substance of the Milk
river treaty ID as follows:
The high contracting parties agree
that the St. Marys and Milk rivers
and their tributaries lin the state of
Montana and thelprovinces Of Alberta
and Saskatchewan )lsre to be treated as
one stream for1the purposes of irriga.
ton and power, and the waters there of
shall be spportioned equally between
the two countries | but in making such
equal apportionment more than half
may be taken from one river and less
than half from the other by either
country 90 40 to afford q more benef.
cial use to each.
It is further agreed that in the divi-
sion Of such waterslduring the irrigat.
ing season, between the 1st OF April
and 3lst of October, inclusive, an
nually, the UnitediStates is entitled to
. prior appropriation Of 500 cubic
feet per second of the waters of the
Milk river, or 80 much of such amount
as constitutes three-fourths of its
natural flow, and that Canada is en-
titled to q prior appropriation of 500
cubic feet per second of the flow of the
St. Mary's river, or so much Of such
amount a. constitutes three.fourths OF
it's natural flow.
The channel of the Milk river in
Canada may be used at the conven.
fence of the United States for the con
veyance, while passing drought Can
adian territory, of waters diverted
from the St. Marys river. The pro-
visions of Article 2 of this Treaty
shall apply to any injury resulting to
property in Canada from the convey
ance of such'waters through the Milk
river.
The measurement and apportion.
ment Of the waters to be used by each
country shall from time to time be
made jointly by the properly con-
stituted irrigation officers of His
