TUNNEL NEAR RIMROCK
STILL SCENE OF FIRE
The Wooden Casing Nearly Destroyed
---Trains Run Via Helena.

Tunnel No. on the Great Northern
railway, located between Rmrock
and Shorey, is on fire unless the ef-
forts being made to check the flames
are soon successful, the entire lining
OF the tunnel, $500 feet in length, will
be destroyed. The fire was detected
early last Sunday morning and APP
parently originated from the sparks
from a locomotive passing through
the tunnel which lodged in the hay
that is packed between the wooden
easing and the earth overhead. The
blaze started in the middle of the
tunnel and is gradually working to-
ward both ends, despite the desperate
efforts of the many fire fighters dis
patched to hold the flames in check,
and it is doubtful if any Of the timber
ing. except on the ends, can be saved.
Owing to the fire, the Burlington
trains No. 43 and ~ have been rum
ming by the way Of Helena, and a
stub is running from Great Falls to
the west end of the tunnel, and one
from Billings to the east end. Traffic
is not delayed to any great extent.
and the mail service is only several
hours later than before.
If the entire lining of the tunnel
burns out. the loss will run into the
thousands of dollars, and the exist
ing conditions will remain for several
months
General Manager J. w. Grnber,
Assistant Manager J. NJ. Kennedy
and Division superintendent Macy
Nicholson left Great Falls Monday
for the scene Of the fire.

''Stickum" In Sweet Potatoes.
From the Fort Benton River Press:
Every time a person licks United
States postage stamp he gets taste
of sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed is made from
the sweet potato. tits considered the
most harmless preparation of the sort.
All the gum used on the American
postage stamp is mixed by the govern
ment at the bureau of engraving and
printing, where the stamps are made.
It ia SOrpad on the sheets after the
stamps are printed. The gum in II
liquid form is forced up through pipes
from the basement where it is made.
These pipes lead to a series of ma
chimes, consisting of rollers between
which the sheets Of stamps are fed one
at time. A continuous fine stream
of liquid gum falls upon one of these
rollers. The sheet with it's wet coat
ing of sweet pOtatoe mucilage passes
from these rollers into long hori-
ZOntal tiue filled with hot air. When
it emerges at the other end of the tlue
the gum is dry.

Montana Wool Clip 10000, 900 For 1909.


The wool clip of Montana for 1909
will be 10000, 900 lbs.-the largest in
the history of the according to
the estimate of W. II. Sheldon, gen
eral agent in Montana OF the Wiscon-
sin Central Railway Company. Mr..
Sheldon has Just returned to Helena
from trip that covered every section
of the state, and lie devoted particular
attention to the production. Not
only is the clip the largest in Mon
tana's history, but the average price
OF 70 cents is high.
Taking the estimate Of ~, ,OOO, 900 as
correct on this years fleece, and the
average price of ~ cents, the total
value Of the clip will be So ,OOO, 900.
Allowing six pounds OF wool to the
fleece would give Il total OF 800, 900
sheep in the state, or 2,OOO,NW more
than the returns OF the assessors
showed. On this basis each sheep
shows a gross profit of nearly 33 per
cent. The appraised value OF all
sheep in Montana is approximately
sl3, 500, 900. and the returns of this
year Oh the wool clip alone give
gross profit OF nearly 80 per cent.
uC USSCoSOIS OIl Tic tOldl
number of sheep in Montana were
about a million head larger than the
preceding year, when the wool clip
was $4,000, 900 pounds. This is an in
crease of nearly one-third, and, iigur
ing on this basis, the wool clip this
year would be about II 200, 600 pounds.
'''The chief reason for the increased
clip was the depression last year and
the low price of sheep OH the eastern
markets." said Mr.. Sheldon. :MOn-
tana tiOckmasters consequently kept
thousands Of head which otherwise
would have been converted into NUT
ton. The wool buyers tell me that
Montana's clip will be larger than
WyOming's s this year by from IA mil
lion to IA million and Il half pounds.
''From what saw and heard,
believe that the states clip this year
will stand as the biggest which will
ever be shipped from the state Of
Montana. Many hockmasters are
taking advantage of the favorable
conditions to retire from the business,
while the encroaclments of the sett-
lers on the sheep ranges is forcing
many others to cut down their locks"

FIGHT ON PINCHOT
COMES UP AGAIN

Denver, Col, August 2O.-Despite the eff
forts of leaders in the Transmississippi
congress to prevent the introduction of
the Pinchot-Ballinge controversy, former
United States Senator Thomas M. Pat
terson of Colorado prepared an attack
on Clifford Pinchot today that was cur
tailed In part by the action of the con-
gress in declining to give additional time
to Mr.. Patterson, who wished to present
a resolution in fuller form than allowed
by the rules of the body.
Senator Pattersons resolution declared
that additional boundary laws of forest
preserves are not necessary, but that the
President now has the authority to de-
clare these boundaries in a more definite
way, thereby dividing the forests from
the arabic lands and saving a lot of peo-
pie many thousands of acres of land now
held In reserve as forest lands.
Resolutions were also offered indorsing
the proposed enlargement Of the harbor
works at Galveston and asking an annual
appropriation for rivers and harbors

EXTENSIVE PLAN TO
TRAIN NEGROES

Chicago, August 20.-An extensive
plan for placing teachers in the col
leges and seminaries of the SOUTH
which are devoted to the education of
! the negroes, so that the negroes Nigh t
be trained to teach the Bible in their
home fields, was Endorsed tonight by
the executive committee of the Inter
national Sunday School association. in
session here.
The plan was the result of an ex-
haustive investigation of the schools
of the south, made by w. N. Harris
horn of Boston, chairman of the com
mittee. The resolutions adopted state
that the results secured from the
work heretofore done by this commit
tee among the negroes have not been
as satisfactory as was hoped for, and
that the committee is of the opinion
that owing to the religious social and
educational conditions now surround
ing the negro in the south. work
through field secretaries, conventions
and institutes is not the most effective
in helping the race to systematic Bible
study and Sunday school work.
1t was resolved that the sub commit
tee be authorized to perfect the de-
tails of the plan at once, and that as
soon as the necessary funds are Sc
cured an experienced teacher and
worker be employed to visit the in
situations for the education of the ne
gro and give courses of lectures and
lessons.

THE RUSSIAN CIGARETTE
ElJROPE

In the last seven years Russian Gig
arctic manufacturers have increased their
exports from 3O,000,000 to over S,OO0,OoO
This increase has been almost entirely
among European smokers, for 1t is only
recently that the Russian cigarette has
become popular In the United States.
For several years small factories have
been in operation in different parts of this
country. but the plants were SO small
and the output so limited that they made
practically no impression upon the. great
bulk of the cigarette business. MOST or
these cigarettes were made by hand and
the quality of tobacco used differed not
only in each shop. but from month to
month in the same shop because OF the
inadequate facilities which the manufac-
turers had for buying the best tobacco.
1t is only within a short time that the
manufacture of Russian cigarettes In this
country has been undertaken on a large
ana adequate scale California was the
f,rst state to welcome this new industry
and the success of one of the largest
c,uarette factories in the United States
which is devoted entirely to the manu-
facture of Russian cigarettes Is an elo-
uuent witness of the fact that Califor-
mans are quick to adopt any novelty
whose recommendation 10 merit
