Ten Acres of Land and
Steady Income in Bitter
Root Valley

/ This dream of Daily has now
been realized. A private COM
ipany, backed by Chicago, Phila-
delphia and New York capital,
has put in two millions of dol
lars, and this summer saw the
first crops ever raised on these
high benches at the base of the
Bitter Root mountains.
Incidentally the lands are being
marketed at $3.50 an acre, and up
ward. Which figure should be
set alongside the figure at which
the government is selling irrigated
homestead tracts in Huntley,
Mont, namely, $34 an acre.
OF course the two propositions
are different in many ways. But
the comparison is none the less in
teresting.
AS fruit growing - and or
charding-valley the Bitter Root
is rapidly taking its place along
side the Wenatchee. Hood River
and Yakima. Like them, 1t is
becoming known to fame by rea-
son of its apples. and Justly. 1t
is claimed that the climate for
orcharding is ideal; that there are
absolutely no killing frosts in
spring; that electric and hail
storms are unknown; that the crop
is as unfailing as anything human
can be; that the high surrounding
give practical immu-
nifty from pests of all kinds, and,
indeed. that all that is needed to
raise 100 per cent perfect fruit
is a good bench land location and
water enough to irrigate.
The valley of the Bitter Root
has been settled for so years, but
during most of this time 1t has
been used chiefly for hay farming.
The first corners CHANGED to be
the members of a southern army
corps who, at the close of the
war, wished to get as far as pos
sible from both the north and the
south. They found the beautiful
valley Of the Bitter Root, stretch
ing 100 miles from the narrow
pass at Missoula, a perfect refuge
from the world.
Enterprise and progress came
in the person Of Marcus DAILY. and
now he is succeeded by that inner
sonal corporate thing known as
outside capital" and new settlers
are coming into this little Para
disc and planning to become pro-

well, see the agents of the land
companies, and believe them or
not, as you wish.
s. The impossible snow-tin,aa
mountains, which hem in and lend
great beauty to the valley are
covered by fine pine ana FIR
which is administered to the sat
fsfaction of all by the government
forestry department. The North
ern Pacific has spur running TO
Hamilton, and a new outlet for
freight has been furnished by the
recently constructed extension of
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul to Missoula. Within a year
or two there will be an electric
road run by the power developed
by the fall OF water from Como

MASSACRES IN TURKEY.
Results of Attacks on Christians Make
an Appalling Record.

Constantinople, May 1.-The mas
sacres in Armenia and Asiatic Turkey
due to the Moslem fanaticism and
hatred of Christians. are appalling. The
city of Kirikan. inland from Alexan-
dretta, has been completely wiped out
and practically every person killed, in
GLIDING women and children. Adana,
where the massacre first opened, is a
mass of ruins and the dead are piled
in the streets. Tarsus, the birthplace
of Paul. situated on the railroad be-
tween Mersina and Adana, has been
practically destroyed and many people
killed. Hadjim. northeast of Adana,
has had some blood shed and many OF
the cities surrounding Hadjim have
been completely destroyed Up to Ar
rsenia, although reports from this dis
trict are very meager, 1t seems that
confiagration and murder have beer
unceasing for many days. Aleppo and
Birejik have been the scenes of add
ttional outrages. Beirut is liable to be
the scene of an uprising at any time
The ruler of the island of Samos has
been killed. Constantfnople is in the
lpower of the young Turks and Adrian-
ople and Saloniki are receiving many
deserters from the sultan's army be-
sides the young Turks.

Maxim Defends Sflencer.

Hiram Percy Maxim, inventor of the
noiseless gun, was asked what he had
to say about the threat of the chief
Of police of Pittsburg, Pa, that he
would arrest any one found possess
Ing silencer, and also clap him in
Jail, and he said:
The chief of police of Pittsburg, If
he is quoted correctly, tells how easily
and without detection one man with
a silenced revolver could kill another.
Evidently he has not even read the
papers, for 1t has been stated very
plainly time and again that no silencer
has been or could very well be fitted
tb a revolver. The construction of a
revolver, with its chambers open at
both ends. prevents its equipment with
silencer. Only rifles are thus equip
ped, and murderers do not go around
armed with rifles.
Then again, as has been carefully
explained, the noise Of discharge of a
silenced rife would be loud enough to
betray the man who fired unless a gun
of small caliber and low velocity were
used. 1t has been demonstrated that
when a bullet travels at the rate of
1900 feet or over per second it makes
a crack as it tears through the air
that is perceptible for 200 or 800
yards. BY means of the silencer the
explosive noise is done away with, but

weather Makes the Tfpplers.

..Of all the depressing places in the
world I put Glasgow, Scotland's chief
city, in the front rank" said Mr..
Arthur K. Hudson, a member of the
San Francisco board of trade, at the
Rennert.
1.-The reason lies in the beastly ell
mate. In the year 1 was compelled to
remain there by business reasons it
must have rained 800 days out of
the 365. The last week of my stay
the weather was so dismal from the
rain that came down SO monotonously
that We were forced to burn lights
the whole time in order to see how to
work. No wonder the average man
in Glasgow has an appetite for ar
dent spirits and that many of its
women are habitual tipplers. With
skies that are eternally weeping and
with an atmosphere reeking with
moisture it is natural that people seek
the comfort of artificial stimulation

IT'S A JOLLY CIRCUS.
Y. NJ. C. A. Boys Give an Interesting
Exhibition.

When you miss the Barley and Bay
rum circus, you miss the treat of the
reason, so don't miss it. In some re-
spects. it is like other large circuses,
but in others 1t is remarkably differ
ent. For one thing, the agent does
not pass among you. The concert.
Immediately following the big show, Is
free. Peanuts, popcorn AND candy
are purveyed in the time honored
spectator to his OF her numbered re-
served seat.
1t must not be gathered that the big
show is a huge joke. Ia church fes-
tival. 1t will have to be admitted that
the feats of strength and agility staged
by a large number of Y NJ. c. A.
athletes would draw good salary in
a professional class. FeatS of tum-
bling, trapeze acts and pyramid
formation shown at the opening per-
Torrance last night, were a surprise
to the many spectators who had never
seen the like outside of a road CIRCUS
or vaudeville house. The clowns are
just as funny and far more, original,
compared with the fun makers OF
professional shows, and the remark
able drill work of the several classes
add much to the attraction.
And don't fail to see the mammoth
museum and side show. Step right
that way-only ten cents. See Fatima,
the latest fat lady, Pawnee Pill and
his wild west show, the extremely
wild wild man, and all the rest. Take
a good look at the side show before
entering the big tent for the princi-
pal paw-fawmance. 1t is certainly
worth while-and ten cents.
The two-ring show is conducted in
the gymnasium, which has q floor
space equal to many real circuses, and
comfortable seats-not boards-are
provided for spectators.
The show will be given again to-
night, and it is to be hoped the attend.
ance will be larger. The Y. NJ C. A
boys have expended time and money
on the entertainment, and have con-
cocted something which is worth a
whole lot more than the price of ad-
mission.

PURE FOOD LAW UPHELD.
Its ConstitutionaIity Is Questioned by
Two Concerns.

Chicago, May 1.-Federal Judge
Sanborn in a test case questioning the
constitutionaIity of the government
pure food and drug act, today upheld
the validity of the law.
The case was that of the govern
ment against the Crescent Manufac-
turing company of Seattle, makers of
"mapeline." The government alleged
that the use of this name constituted
misbranding inasmuch as this substl-
tute for maple syrup contained no
maple juices. The defense aside from
attacking the constitutionality of the
law alleged that the name was justi-
ed by the flavor of the product.
The government seeks to confiscate
$4,000 worth of the "Maplenne' con.
signed to Louis Hilfer & Company of
Chicago. Other consignments in vari-
Gus parts of the country are also said
to be in jeopardy of seizure. The case
will be appealed to test the constitu-
tionality of the act.
Corn Products Company Fights.
Cincinnati. May 1.-The Corn Prod
ucts company of Chicago attacks the
constitutionality of the pure food law
in an answer filed today in the United
States district court to the allegations
of United States District Attorney Nc
Pherson, who a few days ago caused
the United States marshal to seize As
packages and bags of sugar manufac-
tured by the Corn Products company.
The government alleges that the
sugar was labeled pure sugar."
whereas it was adulterated.
The Corn Products company admits
the label, but denies the sugar was
adulterated.
The company attacks the constitu-
tionality of section 10 of the pure food
and drugs act on the grounds that
'the section contains provisions that
are unreasonable and the section pro-
vides for unduly oppressive measures
and deprives citizens of their proper
tY by harsh and unusual means"
