PASSING OF COWBOY
IS At HAND
BARBECUE GIVEN BY BIG OUTFIT
MARKS THE END OF ITS
ACTIVE HISTORY.

Marking the passing of the cattle
man and of the days when the range
was wide and free. the closing barbe-
cue given by the NIT outfit in
Teton county. when the last herd of
cattle bearing that brand was round
ed up and shipped east, has pecu-
liar and intimate relation to the his
tory OF Montana. The gradual down
fan of the cattleman is probably the
most pathetic part of the great ad-
vance of agriculture. For years the
cowboy has roamed over eastern Mon
tana at will and his fearless life and
piCtur. sque habits are the background
Of the most thrilling and interesting
history of the state. The rapid influx
of population and the growing demand
for land by the small homesteader
have at last pushed the cowboy off
the map. and with the great opening
of northern Montana lands which is
going on now. the last days of the
Tree range have been reached. The
Miles City Independent tells of the
barbecue:
The closing out of the KIT out
fit marks the passing OF one of the
big cattle concerns of Montana and is
indicative of the great TRANSFORMED
tion that is soon to come over the
great. free range OF the northwest.
The trains bearing the beef gath
cred at the last of the big roundups is
now on its way to market and the
NIT brand will no longer dominate
the range.

BIsMARcKs LOVE AFFAIRS.
New Biography Tells of His Affection for
an Englishwoman.

A new Bismarck biography, written BY
Prof. Erich Marck, contains interesting
revelations regarding the Iron Chancel-
lor's youthful loves. 1t was "a charm
ing English girl described by Prof
Marck as a Miss Russell, who belonged
to the highest English aristocracy," to
whom the young statesman first paid ar
dent court and to whom he was at one
time engaged. Bismarck was % years
old, and had just mounted the first rung
of the Prussian beaurocratic ladder as
a ''referendar" at Aix-la-Chapelle.
He met Miss Russell at Wiesbaden in
1886 in the company of her uncle and
aunt, 'the Duke and Duchess of CT The
young peoples acquaintance was re-
newed in 1887. and ON that occasion Bis
marck made no secret of his tender fond
ness for ''the British blonde of unusual
beauty"
Bismarck is said by his biographer to
have been SO devoted to Miss Russell
that he neglected pressing official duties
to follow her to Switzerland and a be-
trothal appears actually to have taken
place" Bismarck is said to have ex-
ceeded his leave from official duties by
two months. Then. remembering that he
was a PruSsian civil servant, he wrote
from Berne to his superiors begging
humbly for forgiveness.
Shortly afterward the engagement to
the Irresistible English miss was brok-
en- off, when, where or why" writes
Marck, nobody seems to ever have
heard" But Bismarck took it much to
heart, and his biographer tells of letters
and incidents to prove that for a long
time he was melancholy and depressed.

GREAT SALT LAKES OF RUSSIA.
Vast Territory Containing Many Ricl-
Deposits Easily Worked.

Salt lagoons and lakes are distributed
over most parts of the Russian empire
and principally in the region of the Black
and the Caspian seas. The production
of salt is one of the rapidly developing
industries of the country. In the salt
lagoons during the dry and warm season
there may be found the natural eyapora-
ton which is so great that from the
oversaturated brine great quantities of
crystals of salt are precipitated. These
salt lagoons, marshes or lakes give an
nually as much as 100000 tons, al
though they have been known to yield
100000 tons when seasons have been
particularly dry and warm
Such work is done principally in the
provinces of Taurida, Kherson and AS
trakhan. The Basekunchak lake. locat-
ed within the last named province, gives
in favorable seasons enormous 0uanti-
ties, sometimes nearly 100000 tons. The
bottom of this lake consists of thick Law
ers of salt, and the visible supply has
been computed at nearly 100O00,OO0
tons.
Another lake, the Elton. contains .
larger reserve of solid salt along its bet
tom measuring forty square miles Be
ginning not far from the Sea of Azov.
embracing all the north and east of the
Caspian sea and extending to the east
and northeast of this is a vast territory
larger in area than France, in which
every lake and standing pool of water is
brackish or salt and only running water
is fresh.
Hundreds of these lakes could be prof
itably worked for salt if required. Many
of the lakes contain besides common salt

OIL LAKE IN GULF OF MEXICO.
Strange Story Brought to Galveston by
Ship Captains.

Reports from ship captains entering
tins port tell of a great and growing oil
lake out in the gulf which is evidently
fed from the oil deposits feeding the oil
helds of Texas. While it is known this
oil lake. situated about 100 miles south
east of Galveston. has existed for several
years, it is only recently that it has be-
gun to spread out and is now reported TO
be more than one mile in diameter, while
another ship captain said the surface of
the water was covered with bubbling
oil as far as their eyes could see.
The latest report is from Capt. Net
tertOn of the British steamship Come
dian, Just in from Liverpool. He re-
ports the oil bubbling from three dis
tant jets in the gulf and says the oil
deposit is thickening and spreading at
a rapid rate At this point the gulf is
54O0 feet or over mile deep, and a ire
mendous pressure is required to force
this heavy oil through this body of wa
ter for over a mile and then shoot it
out in three streams.
y survey of the chart of the gulf and
the oil fields shows that the lake in the
gulf is in a direct line with the strata
of oil from which the east Texas fields
are supplied.
Whether the recent hurricane. plow-
ing through the gulf, has punctured the
oil strata. or whether the release of this
immense quantity of oil is due to a sub
terranean earthquake or disruption is
not known. Some experts incline to the
opinion that a terrific explosion in the
bed of the gulf is responsible fol this
tapping of the oil in the bowels of the
earth.-Galvest0n Tribune
