1t has been decided by the Solicitor
of the Treasury, that plumes of the
white heron, called aigrettes and
much worn by women cannot be
sold in New York even by the Gov
ernment. Aigrettes to the value of
$1,000, from Brazil, smuggled here,
were seized by the customs inspect
ors, who prepared to sell them at
public auction. The president of
the Audubon Society protested. The
collector asked the Secretary of the
Treasury and he referred the matter
to the solicitor. He declared that
the sale would be violation of the
law of 1900 and that Uncle Sam has
no more right to sell the plumes
than any other chap. Wise Judge!

FOOL DISPATCHES.

If Ex-President Roosevelt is
aware of the idiotic stuff that fake"
dispatch senders are furnishing news
papers of this country, he is, we be-
lieve, disgusted. Here's the latest,
which, like many others, hasn't, we
believe, a word of truth in it, from
start to finish:
Roosevelt had an exciting expert
ence yesterday while endavoring to
secure a cow hippopotamus. He
went out on Lake Nalvasha, in a
rowboat with two natives. Some
distance from shore the boat was
surrounded by a DOZEN hippopot-
ami, which attacked the boat, some
diving under and striking the bot
tom of it with their backs. The
natives became terrorized, but Roose-
welt was undismayed and selecting
the FINEST BULL and the LARG-
EST COW shot them both. Event
ually the others were driven off,"
Whew! Three little men, in a
little boat, and dozen hippopotami.

They have a large board sign along
side the railroad track that can be
read from the train, advertising land
for sale. About an hour before
reaching Billings we could see to
our right, a mile or so from the
track, a large, reddish-brown rock
standing out alone, some 200 feet
high, rather oblong in shape and
having about twenty acres of level
surface on top. This rock was
made historic by Capt. William
Clark, of Lewis e Clark, the noted
explorers of 1S04-6, and named
Pompey's Pillar. One of our party
who had been on the top of this
rock, told us, that Captain Clark's
name, cut by him in the rock in
1906, was still to be seen. Also
near Billings is the Custer battle
ground in the Little Big Horn val
ley, cared for by the National Gov
ernment. This national cemetery
markes the spot where General Gus
ter and his brave Seventh U. S.
Cavalry were killed by the Indians
June %, 1875. Montana is now
the largest wool producing state in
the Union, and Billings is in the cen
ter of the wool industry for large
section of the state. We follow the
Yellowstone river for nearly $50
miles, and before us can be seen
the snow capped tops of the Rocky
Mountains. Those wishing to visit
Yellowstone Park, change cars at
Livingston; the tour of the Park
includes six days, south of Livings-
ton, and the tourist is in tie Park
itself five and one-half days, as the
trip is usually made and costs about
sixty dollars for each person. We
did not have time to take in this
side trip. Soon after leaving Liv-
ingston we pass through the Boze-
man tunnel at an elevation of 5592
feet. Between Bozeman and Logan
the train follows the Gallatin and
Jefferson rivers. These streams are
two CT the main streams forming the
Missouri, the third being the Madi-
son which we cross in passing from
the Gallatin to the Jefferson Valley.

For a change add to the scrambled

Liver is delicious cooked as follows:
Cut slashes in the liver and thread

crossed the state of Idaho, which is
only eighty-eight miles wide at this

in the morning. We were up early

of the beautiful scenery. We were
repaid for our efforts. 1t was fine.

percentage of gain which has been
in progress since the first week in

6:6 per cent. above the same total
