From several towns come reports Of
ants in such numbers as to cause &C

people are not unaccustomed to the
little black ant and the red ant which
visit the sugar bowl occasionally, but

that time visited every port you ever

in 1906 Carney was in China and wrote
home that he was sailing soon for
San Francisco. That was the last his
relatives heard of him in years.
In 1908 Mrs. Anna F. Baker, who
was Mrs. Carney's sister, died in Chi

of which a considerable part went to
the Carney children. who had grown

Within a short time Cornelius share

was an heir to his aunt's estate. In
court Carney proved his heirship and
will get the $4,000 before long.

In the production Of milk and cream
on the farm the farmer seldom stops
to consider that there should be
placed a value on the forage which
the cows consume when on pasture
or that the labor necessary to feed,
milk and properly care for the COWS
and the milk should be considered as
hn expense. On this account, too
often, the farmer fails to fully under
stand the actual cost Of his butter
when ready for market.

to be under water to a depth of many

1t is rumOred that a great number
Of sailors and longshoremen have been
drowned in the harbor. 1t is probable
that most of the fatalities and the
greatest monetary damage has been
done in Pinar Del Rio, where the de-
%struction of Thursday n Friday has
been added to greatly since last night,
it is believed.
The sea before noon had swept the
custom house sheds for a dis lance Of
half a mile and was carrying off mer-
chandise valued at hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars.
The gale u%nroofed the main customs
warehouse and the contents of the

immense Throng Listens to Address
by Joseph M. Dixon.

Missoula.-The Western Montana
apple show was held here, with the
largest attendance yet recorded at this
event. The display of fruit, grains,
and vegetables is one of the best that

country and presents a beautiful ap-
pearance.
Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon delivered
the opening address. before a large
and enthusiastic audience. He dis.
cussed the possibilities of the coun.
try, the advantages derived from ex.
hibits of this nature, and congratu.
lated the management of the show on
the business-like manner in which the
affair had been handled.
Practically every county in western
Montana was represented at the show
and the inside of the large tent in
which the show is being held presents
a beautiful aspect. The competition

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

II am a man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
10 that l could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were SO bad
that l could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
N two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till l got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time I began to use them my hands
we're all healed up and they have not
been a mite sore since. l would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured a bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbours children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So. Eff

of the charges preferred by Mayor
Edwards against Police Captain Leon

Captain Bailey was incompetent; that

EIeeces are LiQht.

Helena.-Unofficial estimates from
a railroad man who has kept in close
places the 1910 wool clip at 34,500, 900,
which is 100000 pounds less than
the 1909 clip. The average price re.
ceived by the Montana grower was
1870 as against 22c last year. The
chief reason ascribed for the decrease
is that the fleeces this year were
much lighter than those of a ear ago,
because of the long, hard winter.
