Go to Salt Lake City-W. F.
Ording His Successor.

G. B. Burke, who has been chief
clerk of the Republic Coal CO., at
this place the past year, has re-
signed his position and expects to
leave about October Sth for Salt
Lake City where he has accepted a
situation with the International
Smeltering Co. While Mr.. and
Mrs. Burke are reluctant at leaving
Roundup, the change offers an ex-
ceptional opportunity to Mr.. Burke
and they have therefore decided to
take advantage Of it. As pioneers
of Roundup their removal will be
a distinct loss to the city. Mr..
Burke first came to what is now
Roundup to take charge Of the COM
missary Of Mcintosh Bros, railroad
contractors, nearly two years ago,
and has been resident Of the city
ever since.
Mr.. Burke's place in the coal office
here is being taken by w. F. Ord

ENORMOUS COAL f|[lD5
Unsurveyed Coal Fields Of Alaska
Said to Cover 10000
Square Miles.

In Alaska only between 500 and
400 square miles Of coal-bearing
rocks have been surveyed in de-
tail, and the data in regard to the
remaining 500 square miles believed
to be underlain by coal are very
meager. It IS estimated that the
unsuryeyed coal fields cover 10000
square miles, but Of these fields on
" the general outline is known,
and they must be surveyed to as
certain how much Of the area is nn-
derlain by workable coal beds. It
should be remembered, also, that
more than a third Of Alaska is al
most unexplored.
The facts clearly show that the
present low status Of coal mining
in Alaska is no criterion Of the fu,

to the present time coal has beer
mined only for very local markets

|ROUhDUp SCHOOL (t6U5 (0np[[1t'
|542 Under Twenty-One Years of Age
The Population Of Roundup Esti-
mated at Over 1900.

Carl n. Thompson, clerk Of the
school board Of this district, has
just completed a school census,
taken for the purpose Of ascertaining
the apportiontment the district is
entitled to receive from the state.
The census was a great surprise and
shows that the problem Of pro-
perly taking care Of the children Of
school age is rapidly becoming
serious one, and that will have to
be solved before very long. There
are in the district, according to the
census, 346 children Of school age
and total Of 542 under the age Of
twenty-one. OF this number there
are enrolled in the schools about
200, the rooms being taxed nearly
to the limit at that.
To relieve the congested condi-
ticn the school board has built an
additional room for the primary de-
partment, which will be occupied
shortly. 1t is hoped that this will
accommodate conditions for the pre-
sent term. Next year provisions
will have to be made for larger
and more substantial school house.
It is propable that a permanent
structure will be erected next year
for which the district will undoubt-
edly vote another bond issue. At
present the district is only bonded
to the amount Of $4,000.
Just what apportionment the
district will receive from the state
this year is not known, but accord
ing to the 1908 rate the district will
be entitled to about 81 900. TIE
rate of apportionment is governed
by the sale of school lands and the
income from such lands which have
been leased for grazing purposes.
Taking the school census as q
base, and figuring that the ratio o1
adults to the inhabitants under
twenty-one is about three to one, it
is estimate that the population O.

Hardware Department Of Yegen
Brothers Big Store DESTROYED
by Fire.

Fire which broke out in the hard
ware department Of Iegen Brothers
big department stores at 11:15
Saturday night damaged the stock
and building to the extent Of S275,-
OOO.
Jessie Raws, a boy while watch
ing the fire was blinded by the
flames and fell through the sky
light, sustaining injuries that may
result in the loss OF his arm.
The fremen who fought the flames
were in constant danger from cx-
ploding cartridges. oils and paints,
some of which blew up with terrific
force, hurting sparks several hun
dred feet heigh.
The origin of the fire Is unknown,
though it is thought to have started
in the basement, as at one time the
entire store, which occupies half a
block, was threatened, but the
flames were confined to the hard
ward department by the tire fighters,
who stood at times in a fusillade OF
bullets, although no one was in-
jured.
The entire stock of dry goods,
groceries, etc., in the adjoining
stores, is more or less injured by
smoke and waite. The hardware
stock was the largest in eastern
Montana.
During the progress Of the fire an
other alarm was sounded from
distant Point and for a time en-
dangered surrounding property but
was extinguished with small loss.

TALL IMMIGRATION Is ON N EARNEST
Eastern Farmers Thru With Harvest
ing Looking to the West for Bet
tering Their Conditions.

The vanguard Of the fall army Of
homeseekers has arrived, and pre-
sent indications point that many
hundreds Of eastern farmers will
visit the West to look over the
country and the opportunities it
offers with view to changing their
location. Being thru with his har-
vesting the eastern farmer, especial
ly if he is working a rented farm,
begins to look around for an oppor-
tunity to better his condition, and
he invariably turns to the West rs
offering the most probable solution
to the problem. Others having
money lying idle in the banks also
look westward as presenting the
best chances for profitable invest
ments in lands. The result is that
the west-bomd trains at this time
of year are crowded with ex-
cursionists anxious to pick up any
opportunity which may look good
to them.
1t is almost impossible t. keep
track Of all the strangers in town,
but it is safe to say that at least
fifty homeseekers were in Roundup
this week OF which number about
half filed on homesteads and decid-
ed to cast their lots with the Trea-
sure state. An unusally large num-
Der is expected next Tuesday on

"When had taken C my coat and smoothed my ruffled ls'dnles and generally settled myself" /" shc tell !, "1 looked up to see the most wonderful eyes l ever saw, steadily, luminously, elairvoyantly, kindly, pa ternally looking at me. The hat was over the forehead, the mouth and chin buried in the brown velvet coat collar of the brown greatcoat. Well, we went on, and the storm went on more and more until we reached Bristol, where we waited ten minutes. My old gen tleman rubbed the side window with his coat cuff, in vain.

He drew up the window as we moved on. I leaned back for some minutes with closed eyes, then opened them and said Well, I have been drenched. but it was well worth it.

Il had seen tail ors' scissors for cutting heavy cloth, dressmakers scissors for cutting fimsy fabrics and lace and still other scissors for cutting paper, finger nails. grape vines, all kinds 9f metals and even for shearing sheep, but in spite of that wide knowledge of scissors 1 was pug zled when l saw the large, peculiarly shaped pair of scissors lying in the showcase.
 "What are these scissors for? asked the clerk.
 "'Carying neat he said. With scissors of this kind carving becomes mere child's play

 Nobody does use them,' said the clerk-that is, only very few. In Europe carving scissors are popular because they cut right through meat, gristle bone and all but it takes q little practice to learn to manipulate the things. and nobody in this country has patience enough for that "-EX- change.
