There was an eruption Of the "Poas'
volcano at San Jose, Costa Rica, recently,
which received no newspaper attention in
this country, perhaps because there were
no lives lost. 1t was, nevertheless, an IN

canoes, the one in Costa Rica did not
erupt lava burning ashes. it emitted in
stead a fine white powder that completely
covered the streets of San Jose. The

In theory the plan should work to the

Certain industries give employment TO
their machinery night and day without

busy continuously for twenty-four hours
is probably impracticable, but there is
chance that enough patronage can be
secured to pay the operating expenses

NEW YORK SOCIETY.

Lent is no longer dull from u social point
of view, and the next ten days will fur
nish a round of gayeties, winding up with
the Mi-Carsme calico ball at Sherry's on
Thursday week. with dances given by Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney and Colonel John
Jacob Astor at their respective Fifth ave-
nue. houses on the same evening. Between
now and then there are a number of din
ners, small dances, theatrical entertain-
ments and, in particular, marriages, the
prejudice against their celebration during
the penitential season having vanished
along with the traditional sackcloth and
ashes.
OF the weddings the most notable will
undoubtedly be that of Miss Marie Louise
Logan, daughter of Mrs John A Logan,

WANTS A FARMER HUBBY.

Spokane, Oct. Awhile there is no
apparent connection between dry
farming and matrimony and not a few
women appear to think that dry
farmer must need live a rather dry
and lonely life and should have a
wife to cheer him up. Secretary Burns
of the Dry Farming congress in session
here today has received many letters
from women in the east and central
west who are willing and even anx-
ious to share the lot of some apprecia-
tive dry farmer. AS there are several
thousand unattached and eligible
bachelors in the northwest, Mr.. Burns
has quite cheerfully taken up the du-
ties of a matchmaker, confident that
he can find husbands for all comers.
Among the many attractive PROPOSE
tions received by Mr.. Burns is one
from Mrs. Kathryn Cooley of Sosedale,
Kansas City, who describes herself
as widow, with little daughter of
six and some means. She is a ladies'
tailor and a poetess, and says ''the
call of the wild" makes her desirous

WORK IS STOPPED
ON BLACKFOOT ROAD

Missoula, October 5.--A report that
the Big Blackfoot Railway company
would suspend operations was re-
ceived in the city yesterday. John R.
Toole, president of the company, was
in Hamilton, but was reached by tele-
phone. When asked if the report was
true Mr.. Toole said:
Yes, we are going to shut down the
work within 10 days and l could not
say at what time we will resume op-
erations. We will close down practi-
cally all of the work. The reason for
this shutdown is entirely financial.
Business is poor and conditions are
unsettled throughout the country. This
makes it very difficult to raise money
and has compelled us to close down
the work"
Active work has been done on about
81 miles of the road, which was in
tended to run to Great Falls. The
road is thought to be branch of the
Milwaukee, and extends from Bonner
through the upper Blackfoot and the
Clearwater country. This road will be
of great value to ranchers throughout
this country and it is hoped that it
will be completed in the near future.

FAIR OPENS ONDER CLEAR SKIES
WITH HIGH CLASS EXHIBITS
Today Is Missoula Day, Tomorrow
Montana Day---Good Racing
Assured

The Almighty must certainly look
with favor upon the beautiful Bitter
Root. Nearly all day Wednesday the
rain that had been falling for several
days continued-the prospect looked
bad for the fair. But on Wednesday
night the clouds rolled away and
Thursday, the opening day of the fair,
was as bright and pretty a day as one
could wish. Under the spell of Bit
ter Root sunshine the mud dried
quickly and the gloom that over
spread Hamilton faded away.
The weeks bad weather, however
deferred many exhibits for the open
ing on Bitter Root day but the time
was extended on this account, and
many more exhibits will be in place
today.
The old covered track on the DAILY
estate, a half mile east of Riverside,
is being used for the exposition and
it affords ideal quarters. Just to the
left of the entrance is the ladies' rest
room. Here hot tea is served free by
Mrs Fisk. The domestic, art and 9th
er interesting exhibits come next. And
then the fruit. No finer fruit was ev-
er grown or exhibited anywhere than
this. In instances the pack is not
up to the standard, but the quantity
and quality is par excellence.
The vegetable exhibits, while not
numerous, are of the highest grade.
AS Chairman Tiedt remarked enough
vegetables worthy of exhibition are to
be had within a radius of ten miles
to fill the immense building. Leading
fruitgrowers agreed that is the finest
fruit show ever seen in the VALLEY.
The horses, cattle, poultry and 9TH
er exhibits are all high class, evidenc-
ing that this locality is keeping the
pace in the matter of high grade pure
bred stock. The Vally Mercantile Co.,
H. H. Spaulding, Waddell & Grover
and others have a splendid exhibit of
farming machinery, implements, etc,
comprising, according to Rory Mcleod,
one of the most complete exhibits of
the kind he had ever seen at a county
fair.
A notable exhibit is that of cream
cry butter, shown by j. G. Howe of
Stevensville. Standing alongside the
bars of butter is a sheaf or bundle of
Bitter Root alfalfa measuring eight

STOLE HORSE AND BUGGY,
ARRESTED IN M|SS0ULA

A. J. Anaker was lodged in the
county Jail Wednesday evening by
Sheriff Ward, charged with grand
larceny, the offense consisting of the
theft of horse and buggy.
Anaker, it is alleged, last week at
Stevensville took possession of
horse and buggy belonging to James
Burnett and drove to Missoula where
he sold the outfit for 5000 and proceed
ed to get drunk He was arrested by
Sheriff Graham, who had been noti-
fled by the Ravalli county authorities,
and on Wednesday Sheriff Ward went
to Missoula and brought the prisoner
to Hamilton that evening. Anaker
will be arraigned before Judge Myers
today.
