WILL STUDY POLITICS
FOR PRESIDENT TAFT
Fletcher Maddox, Montana Revenue
Collector, to Tour Northwest
States.

Political conditions in the northwest
will be studied at close range for the
benefit of President Taft by Fletcher
Maddox, Montana internal revenue col
lector. President Taft and his friends
are interested, not to say anxious about
the insurgent movement-witness the
recent western trip of Senator Crane.
Mr.. Maddox will incidentally inspect
sites offered the government for new
public buildings in Washington. He
leaves Washington, D. c., for Beverly
to see President Taft, going thence to
the Pacific coast, inspecting sites at
Seattle, Aberdeen, Ellensburg, We
natchee and Vancouver.
Asked whether his trip has anything
to do with politics, Mr.. Maddox ad-
mitted ne would "see and hear what
is going on"
From Washington Maddox will GO
to Montana, where he will participate
in proconvention state politics and in
the republican convention about Sep
TENDER Is.

at a Helena assay Office, being obtained
from the reduction of 50 pounds of ore
from the new strike in the Yellow
Jacket mine, across the jefferson
county line from Helena.
The event of late in mining circles
is the rich strike in the old Di- Metallic
mine, near Philipsburg, the magnitude
of the find being such as to impress
mining men of that vicinity with the
belief that the famous bonanza ledge
that once made the Bi-Metallic mine the
again has been found.
The wouId-be bank robber created a
scene in court at Dillon Saturday by
drowning the words of the judge with
loud yells and groans and falling from
the chair in which the sheriff IS officers
carried him when he refused to walk.
The bandit apparently feigned injuries
and refused to heed tine orders of the
sheriff to dress. 1t required the services
of three men to prepare him and then
straighten him out for his picture, the
outlaw closing his eyes and stretching
his mouth wide open.
Orders issued to Game Warden
Ralston of Flathead county by State
Game Warden Aware are to the effect
that the county game warden has no
further authority to supervise the game
of the Glacier national park. Since the
interior department has made no regu-
lations, and the forest service here
which is in charge of the actual admin
istration of the park, has no special
authority, the wild animals of the park
are at the mercy of whoever may wish
to prey upon them.

HIGHEST MASON IN ENGLAND.
Now Visiting in Chicago While Knights
Templar Conclave Is On.

The earl of Euston, who stands high
est in Masonry in England, is in Chi
cago to attend the grand lodge of the
Knights Templar. He is a past grand
master of the Masons in Great Britain.
Six years ago he started movement
to amalgamate the English-speaking
Templars of the world. He thinks his
idea is approaching success. That is
the reason he is there now.
Lord Euston is 62 years old,
widower, ford and well preserved. He
is a soldier, too. But while he is
eligible, and has fine title, he is not
looking for an American heiress.
"Oh, the women, bless YOU, old chap,
of course, like the American women.
They are fine. Me marry7 No, 1 don It
think so. While 1 like them all, l
am not considering marriage. Now,
that's enough to say about that"

CENSUS REPORT DUE.
ESTIMATES SHOW 10000, 600
PERSONS IN The U. S.
ber-Population Figures Compiled at
National Capital-Enumeration Re-
vised Three Times for Possible
MISREPRESENTATION for Padding.

1t will be about the middle of October
before the people of the United States
learn their true number as revealed by
the count of the thirteenth census. 1t
is generally believed that the number
will be about 100000 and census of
fcials are known to share this belief.
About 800 of the more than 1900
clerks in the census Office are compiling
population figures only, while the others
are working on other statistics. Con-
trary to the general opinion, all the
counting of the people is done by hand,
the tabulating machines being used only
in classification as to race, sex and other
conditions.
Enumeration figures will continue to
be given out day by day for the next
two months or more, while the sociology
cal and industrial figures will come
later. All enumeration figures are
counted three to four times, and an in
vestigation is ordered if there is any
suggestion of an error.
In two cities evidence of fraud has
been discovered and in one, Great Falls
Mont, a prosecution has been under
taken for fraudulent enumeration.
The intention of Director Durand is
to tabulate first the population of the
large cities, after which the figures fol-
the states will be given out as they are
ascertained, the returns for all counties
in the state being announced at the
same time as the figures for the state

made this 12-mile course one Of the Sc
verest attempted by swimmers in this
country, forced them out Of the water.
The girl was in the water 6 hours and
