P. S. c. TO FIGHT
DEMANDS OF CITY
FOR TRANSFERS
Company Will Contest More
Liberal Interpretation of
City Trolley Ordinances.

According to the letter sent by First
Vice-President G. j. Roberts. of the
Public Service Corporation, to the Board
of Works, 1t is evident that the trolley
company does not intend to accent the
city's view of the transfer situation
and will combat the attempt to bring
about more liberal Interpretation of
this phase of the city ordinances.
Mr.. Roberts's letter was as follows
so far as l am aware we are issuing
transfers In accordance with franchise
and obligations. This letter WAC a re-
ply to the boards action last week.
when notice was served on the trolley
company that a better transfer sys-
tenn was desired in several sections of
the city. and especially on Clinton ave-
nue..
When the company's letter was read
at yesterdays meeting Commissioner
Mungle moved that Trolley Inspector
Crawford confer with Mr.. Roberts and
go over the ordinances as applied TO
the issuing of transfers 1t is con-
tended by the board that the trolley
people are not living up to the require
ments of the ordinances In certain see-
tions of the city. The board intends
to follow the matter up and insist up
or more liberal transfer arrange
ment on the lines under consideration
The proposed amendment to the by
laws creating the office of deputy
chief engineer WAS adopted, and James
Hallock. the present assistant to the
chief, will fill the newly created post
Commissioner O'Connell objected to
the amendment on the ground that 1t
was not broad enough in character and
did not permit of giving consideration
to some members of the engineering
staff who have been Ia the employ of
the city for fifteen or twenty years.
Mr.. O'Connell did not, however, ques-
ton Mr.. Hallocks ability or his fitness
for the office.
The new per cent. ordinance, In its
altered condition, was submitted by
City Counsel Nugent, but at the sug-
gestion of President Denman the mat
ter was laid over for a week, so that
the members of the board can look
over the measure and analyze the car
mileage features of the ordinance.
John r. Hardin. counsel for l.. Bam-
berger & Co., informed the board that
he would appeal from the decision of
Vice-Chancellor Stevens. in which the
latter sustained the city In the matter
OF the Haisey street structure used by
the concern in connection with it's
shipping department.
At Mr.. Hardin's request the board
agreed not to take any further action
in the matter until Mr. Hardin's re-
turn to the city next month.
A request from the proprietors Of a
Chinese restaurant at 102 Market street
for permission to build balcony in
front of the place was refused, and
whatever preliminary work has been
done will be Investigated by Superin-
tendent Shipman.
Nathan Hammersiag and Secretary
Covington. of the Market Street Bust
ness Mems Improvement Association,
appeared before the board and object
ed to the proposed addition to the build
ing. and IL was largely on account OF
this protest that the request was
denied.

Needs womnn to Dress Hlm.

NEW YORK. Aug 12.--John Lind
strom. a femals impersonator, on his
way to Winnipeg. arrived on the Ma
jestic yesterday and gave novel ex-
rlanation of the presence of Stephanie
Klein on the same ship.
Lindstrom said he was not married
to Miss Klein, but that she was his
dresser. He said he could not rig him
self up in woman's toggery without
the aid of a woman. The immigration
authorities could not see the point OF
Lindstrom's reasoning, and, through
the reciprocal arrangement which this
government has with Canada whereby
each prevents the passage of undesir-
able persons across one country to the
other, ordered the female impersonator
and his dresser detained as undesir-
ables.

In tunnel Of the old War Eag'e

from Wallace, AL men under Forest
Range Pulaskie were packed tightly
together to escape a sheet Of flame
that swept down the gulch. They
hugged the ground and buried their

half mad with the heat, they ran and
threw themselves in the creek. Five

A New Arid Land Alfalfa

Experienced farmers in Spokane
county believe that the discovery OF
wild alfalfa, known to botanists as
"medgicaga falcata, y in Bonner
county. Idaho, by W. Fl. Heideman,
superintendent Of the sub-experi-
ment station, conducted by the Uni
ted States government at Clagstone,
Idaho, will solve the problem of dry
land forage crops. The plant, which
thrives in arid districts, where 9th
ers die from heat and lack Of mois-
ture, is similar to tame alfalfa. The
blossom is a pinkish white and re-
sembles the plant brought to this
country from Russia by Professor
Hanson Of South Dakota, who was
sent abroad by the government to
find plant adapted to semi-arid
districts. The pods are the same
size and shape as those Of tame al
falfa. Mr.. Heideman found the
plants in the Hoodoo valley. former.

The atmospheric conditions which

day have probably not been dupli-
Gated within the memories Of the
oldest inhabitants. A dense pail Of
smoke had drifted down from the

and when morning dawned, the sun,
although it could not pierce the
dense clouds. diffused an iridescent
glow that Illuminated the horizon in
all directions. Although the light
was far from having the equality of

liant than bright moonlight. The
comparatively dim morning fooled
many residents, however, and the

Montana State Fair

Helena, Mont, Aug. 20.-The
eighth Montana State Fair in this
city, Sept. 26 to Oct. /. will have
one Of the most remarkable attrac
tions ever seen in the northwest,
this being none other than daily
flights by one Of the worlds best
known aviators -Curtiss of New
York. The management has just
signed a contract with this we'll
known master Of the air, under the
terms Of which he is to make daily
flights at the fair grounds in this
city, and furthermore he is to ex-
hibit in no other city Of the west
except at the Spokane fair.
Curtiss uses a model biplane that
closely resembles the Wright ma
chine in which some Of the now
existing worlds record fights were
made this wear. and that his efforts
at the Montana state fair will be
with the object Of establishing still
greater feats cannot now be too
strongly set forth. It is certain that
he will establish new records for the
western part of the nation. His
contract provides that Curtiss must
remain ir the air at least ten min
utes and achieve an altitude Of full
ly fifty feet this being the mini
mum. Thus, all fair visitors are
assured the witnessing Of feat, the
achievements along which line have
been the subject Of more discussion
in the public press than any other
accomplishment in recent years.
The fair management also an
nounees another feature which must
necessarily appeal to ali Montanans
"a cowboys relay race. This is to
be run at the rate Of three miles a
day and with three daily changes
before the grandstand. The rules
for this contest provide that all pa
tent mechanisms must be barred, or
in other words, that each animal
must be unsaddled and the fresh
horse saddled in the regulation man
ner with the ordinary cinch.
Already large number Of entries
have been received and Secretary
Martin expects that several others
will follow, thus indicating that
there will be large number Of con-
| testants. Relay races have inyaria-
bly, proved popular features, and
this year will be no exception. Al
ready several strings Of horses are
in training at the grounds, so that
the animals will become accustomed
to the stunts expected from them.
for in these races a great deal de-
pends upon the rapidity with which
the rider may transfer his saddle TO
the waiting animal.

In addition to the cowboys relay
race there will be the regular run
ming and harness events, and re-
specting these Secretary Martin
states that all races have been fairly
we'll filled. The automobile races
will also prove to be as popular as
ever. Indeed. judging from the
great number Of entries, they will
be more exciting than ever.
