FROM The JUMBO
DIGGINGS

Henry Howell was up from Day.
ton to spend Sunday with his son
Randall Howell. He has been
prospecting in the Jumbo mines
near Dayton since last June and he
states that they are taking out some
very valuable ore which show rich
contents in copper and silver. They
are now working on a two foot lead
showing gray copper and peacock
copper at a depth of 400 feet in the
main shaft. The results Of the
prospecting have been very en-
couraging so far and there is every
reason to believe that there is a
large body of commercially valuable
ore below the present workings.
Mr.. Howell says it is the best look
ing prospect he has seen anywhere
in the Flathead and he is looking
forward to something doing there
in the near future

CORN IN MONTANA

Prof. Thos. Shaw, the eminent
authority on northwestern agri-
culture, thinks corn will be one Of
Montana s most important crops.
One Judith Basin farmer has
matured seed corn very year for 2e
years at an altitude Of 4 900 feet.
A farmer in Valley county made
a crop of 40 bushels of corn pei
acre on eight acres in 1909.
Yellowstone, Rosebud, Custer and
Dawson counties have grown corn
very successfully. The same may
be said of Cascade, Choteau and
Teton counties. Indeed nearly all
of Montana can raise corn.
The James J. Hill prizes Of
81 900 for the best ten ars of corn
grown by boys under eighteen years
of age will bring out the corn in.

RUMBLINGS OF THAT
ELECTRIC ROAD

Well, we'll, the Whitefish and
Poison Electric railway company
held another meeting last week and
are going to make their surveys
right away. We pray to goodness
that when the surveys are finished
they will start making the dirt fly
right away also.
We need that electric line and
woe be unto them if they don't
furnish us anything but surveys
and hot air. If we can't get an
electric railway either, we shall send
to Aviation Camp at Los Angeles
for areoplanes and start an air ship
line, which will not have to bother
with the right of ways.

Cincinnati G. o. p. Dictator Also Quiet
In Demcanor.
What sort of man is George B.
Cox, the Republican dictator of Ham
ilton county, Cincinnati? He's the
most modest spoken person you'd meet
in a days walk. In the old days he
was a butcher. He is now president
of a trust company in Cincinnati, and
along with Charles p. Taft and others
he is powerful in the traction interests
of Cincinnati.
The peculiarity of his makeup is his
eyes. They are like sapphires. They
shine red and blue and white, and his
face is pink. When he is angry those
eyes are sapphire. Yet his demeanor
never changes. 1t is calm and i'm
passive, and, while his voice is hoarse,
there is a gentle strain to it, and he
never raises it. He seems to keep
himself within bounds.
No matter whether you believe in
Cox or not as a political factor, in the
estimation of his friends as we'll as his
enemies he does not on public occa-
sions lose himself. Cox has talked
more within the last few months than
ever before in all Of his thirty years
of Republican leadership of Cincin-
natl.

the time of his arrest, the entire

Survey for Interurban Made. - The
preliminary survey of the Davenport
Iowa City interurban was completed
Saturday evening, and Civil Engineer
Frank Beckwith is preparing his re-
port. The survey was made by the
Walsh Construction company. The
survey taken in the preliminary trip
went along the old B., c. r. & N.
tracks as far as Stockton, when the
crew followed the Rock Island main
line into Iowa City. OF the towns
taken in by the survey are Blue
Grass, Stockton Durant, Wilton,
Moscow, Atalissa, West Liberty,
Downey and Iowa City. AS a plan
has not yet been submitted nor a
report made and it is not known how
much grading will be necessary ac-
cording to this survey for the laying
of tracks, preparations have not as
yet been made for the official survey
of the tentative route of the line.

Widening Move Not Dropped
There is q persistent rumor to the ef-
feet that the proposed widening of
Firth avenue has been dropped by the
interested property owners. AS near
as can be ascertained, the citizens are
still enthusiastic over the widening
project and that the improvement will
be accomplished if it is possible. The
city officials including the mayor are
doing everything they can within their
jurisdiction to push the movement.
Quiet in Telephone circIes.-While
Rock Island is wrestling with the I'm
ion Electric Telephone problem, the
Moline aldermen have not begun with
the Central Union Telephone company.
Division Superintendent Morris has
been in the city several times but he is
not in position to make any offer of
settlement. However he does ask the
council for a concession, that of allow
ing the company to run another cable
to Rock Island to provide better ser
vice from Moline to Rock Island and
Davenport. When asked If there was
any change in the situation, the mayor
said there was nothing doing. Attor-
ney Mann of the company did hold a
conference with the council some
weeks ago and suggested he come be-
fore that body with new franchise
which was agreeable to the council
but as yet he has not presented the
proposition in formal manner. 1t is
not likely either that he will present
this matter for several weeks for now
he is touring Europe.
Hunters Licenses to Women.-Fair
Moline followers of the goddess Diana
are in evidence this year, judging from
records in the office of City Clerk H.
NJ. Oldefest, which show that Mrs. A
y. Reeves and Mrs. Julia Christopher,
have secured hunting licenses for the
current season with the evident inten-
ton of pursuing woodcocks, mourning,
doves, ducks, snipe and plover during
the rapidly approaching fall.

City Railway and Light company was
before the village board of Silvis Sat

relative to the car service furnished

DAVENPORT

Much Typhoid in City - Davenport
and Scott county are in the throes
OF one of the worst typhoid fever
epfdemics in recent years, physicians
OF the city reporting that there are
approximately SO cases in the city
and county. Just what the source of
the Infection is has not been deter
mined, but the most common sources
say the physicians, is In water and
milk. the latter furnishing a splen-
did means for the multiplication of
the typhoid baciln. 1t is asserted
by number of the leading physi-
clans of the city that the shallow
ness of the river may be responsible
In large degree for the prevalence
OF the disease, while others believe
that the most common source of in
lection is in milk, through apparent
lack of care in sterilizing or scalding
the bottles, and from many other
causes. The reason given for the ad-
van cement of the theory is that the riv-
or being low, and the same amount
OF sewerage as in times when there
is more water within the banks, the
concentration of the sewerage be-
comes more marked, and the germs
are multiplied by the millions. On
the contrary other physicians are of
the opinion that the water system of
the city being of such a high degree
of perfection, the water being boiled,
there is small likelihood of the germs
ever surviving the process.
Drowning at LecIaIre.-F. NJ Hill,
aged So years, cook at the Abel stone
quarry, and also employed at the
Merchants cafe, drowned Friday
night at IL o'clock as the result of
an accident in the skiff in which he
was crossing the Mississippi near LIE
Claire. Mr.. Mills was returning to
the quarry with three other men
when he and another man attempted
to change seats in the boat. The
frail craft overturned, precipitating
its occupants into the water. Mills
was unable to swim and drowned be-
fore he could be recovered. His
body was recovered in about 20 min
utes and taken to the Suffer under
taking parlors, where an inquest was
held Saturday, the jury returning a
verdict of accidental death. The
jurors were F. a. Meyers, c. w. Dis
ney and H o. Rowland. Mr.. Hill

parents also survive and they have
