II always experience a sense of deep

an ocean steamer together.

acres and with 63 miles of shore line.
The project is now employing 300 men
under the supervision of j. Wallace,

It will take between three and four
years to complete the job and the
work will cost In the neighborhood OF
four million dollars.
1t will be necessary to wait on the
food waters of the Madison river to
fill the new reservoir when complete.
This will take five years. Power will
be furnished Butte, Bozeman and

and central portions of the state.
There are large tracts Of agricultural
dry lands within the vicinity of the
dam, both in Madison and Gallatin
counties and these will be placed uu.

HE WAS NOT IMMORTAL.
4 Test That Proved Il Was Possible to
Kill q Spaniard,

A Test That Proved Il Was Possible to
Kill a spaniard.
Early in the sixteenth century the
natives Of Porto Rico plotted to kill
the Spaniards on the island. There
was much doubt, however, as to
whether or not it was possible to kill
a Spaniard. Many Of the natives in
sisted that it was not. Finally it was
decided to make an experiment.
A young Spaniard who was passing
through an Indian village was hospita-
bly, received and fed. and then a num-
Der Of natives accompanied him on
his journey. When he arrived at a
river his companions offered to carry
him across.
The young man accepted and was
taken up by two men and carried into
the water IN their shoulders. Arriv-
ing near the middle Of the river, they
threw him in and held him down until
he ceased to struggle.
Then they carried him ashore with
profuse apologies, loudly proclaiming
that they stumbled by accident and
calling upon him to arise and continue
his journey. But the young man did
not move, and finally the natives were
convinced that he was actually dead.
Having secured the proof they want
ed, the leaders Of the rebellion at once
began a general attack upon the Span
iards.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Bleeding by Bowshot.

That all diseases can be cured by
bleeding is still firmly believed by sew
eral savage tribes and especially by
the Papuan negroes. When one Of
their physicians becomes convinced
that 1t is necessary to bleed a patient
he goes several feet in front of him,
and then, drawing his bow, he fits a
sharp pointed arrow to it and, after
careful aim. fires the arrow into the
vein which he desires to open. The
arrow, it is said. invariably goes
straight to the mark, and the thorn or
splinter of glass with which it is tip
ped does the work as successfully as a
lancet. Moreover, the patients never
show the slightest fear, since they are
convinced that from the moment The
arrows pierce their veins they will be-
gin to recover.

THE COST or LIVING.

vague theories ana pei 0OtlOne
about the our Of the prices Of arti-
cles that enter into expenditures for
food and other necessities are little to
the purpose, ss all who undertake to
investigate the subject coon And. The
problem has numerous phases, and
combining the examination to any one
10 q vain proceeding. Some Of the
figures offered are from interested
sources and exaggerated or marked by
conceslments. A bureau connected
With the Department Of Commerce and
Labor has just issued the annual gov.
eminent report on Wholesale prices in
1909 which embraces 257 commodities
and follows their changes in value
with axactness. Few would guess
that this list shows q decline Of 2.3 per
cent compared with the year 1907, or
that the wholesale prices In 1907 were
the highest for any period in the last
nineteen years. In the year 1908 the
Wholesale price Of the 257 commodities
was 3 per cent lowerIthsn in 1909, and
here again the smsllness of the mar.
gin will surprise those whose views
are indefinite or conjectursl.
Wholesale prices!are not those with
which average consumers are best &C.
quainted, but their study is essentis
to q true understanding Of the case.
It is proposed to:make the cost of liv.
ing . campaign issue. but II the point
Of attack is an error the ammunition
will be wasted and the real question
will remain untouched. A cry Of
"Tear down thelnew tariff" has been
raised. But as the cost OF living has
advanced as much in free.trade Eng.
land and other European countries the
remedy proposed is plainly illogical.
IT the United States should drop to q
free.trade basis the cost of living
would not be reduced unless the ruin.
ed means of making q living pros.
trated prices and everything else.
Prices were lowest between 1893 and
1897 and so were wages and oppor-
tunities for employment. Unjust mani
pulation oflprices upward ought to be
stopped, but trying to reach the evil
by q war on a tariff because protec.
tive would be a blind act of folly, and

the lengths to which it could be push-
