Plains, Dec. 6.-(Special).--1n the
discovery. settlement and development
of new territory many interesting
and surprising Incidents have attended
the experiences Of the pioneer. The
trail blazer dreamed OF limitless re-
suits as reward for his intrepidity
and grit, but with q discernment next
to prophetic doubtless he fell far short
or a true estimate Of the resources and
possibilities Of the great northwest.
The founders OF the Treasure state
had a broad conception Of her future
glory and greatness They knew that
development would reveal great COM
monWealth, but the rapidity OF Its ad
vancement has been q surprising rev
elation, even to the most sAnguine ern-
pire builders. In the universal evolution
.of the state, Sanders county may
justly claim high rating, and consid- "
ering that II was carved from the new

From the time Of its segregation from

| year the schools started out with a
total enrolment of 164, and this year
| the enrolment started with 189, which
number has already reached 209. When
the fact is taken into consideration
that over 40 students left Plains to
move onto claims on the reservation
the gain is the more remarkable.
The teaching force has been in
creased by three teachers the past
year and yet teachers are overworked.
The corps of teachers is as efficient as
any city in Montana can show and un-
der their faithful work and guidance
the students are making rapid and
thorough progress. Plains now has a
good high school doing four years.

courses. 1t started out this year with
an enrolment of 2S, which is larger
than many high school that have been
running for several years. The labor
atories are modern in every way and
the library has been substantially in
creased. DR. DuniWay, head of the
state university at Missoula, inspected
the high school a short time ago with
view to having 1t placed on the ac-
credited list of that institution and 1t
is confidently hoped that the state

Edwards is the janitor. The school
building cost the taxpayers $4,000.
The State Road.
Another Improvement that cannot be
underestimated is the construction Of
the state wagon road that is now un-
der Way, along the river from Perma
to Plains and is the connecting link in
the transeontinental highway from
New York to Seattle. At present
overland travellers from the east side
are compelled to ferry at Perma and
make circnitous route through the
reservation. over hilly roads. before
reaching Plains This new highway
will shorten the distance by many
miles and follow a water grade on the
south side of the Flathead and Clark $
Fork rivers, cross the Missoula river
at the mouth of that stream and con-
tinues to Plains, where it connects
with the road to Spokane. 1t will open
a new country that is rich in mineral
possibilities and agricultural resources
which can not be developed only by
good roads. The old route is difficult
for autos, but the new one will be
adapted for machines of all kinds
Never in Colorado, the much adver-
tised Switzerland of America, the
beautiful Glacier park, or the fair
southern suns has man beheld so
beautiful state highway. the new
scenic route of Montana. Here on one
hand tower mighty mountains. sheer
cliffs hundreds of feet in height, and
on the other the magnificent winding
river. Nature has been kind to the
mountains; wherever tree can grow,
there is a stately pine, fir or tamarack.
Beautiful mountain streams dash
down their slopes or come tumbling
over precipice In glistening waterfalls.
The rocks that often are SO monot-
onous in mountain scenes here are
colored many hues. The survey was
made last February by G. G. Walker,
a civil engineer of Plains and the link
is 10 miles long. At present there are
80 convicts employed and Head Guards
Hendricks and Mullan have charge OF
the work. During the month of Oc-
tober 5000 yards of rock were re-
moved which was done largely with
steam drills, dump cars and teams. In
width the road varies from IA to "a
feet and Is built according to the
latest methods of road building. The
state furnishes the labor and the cOun-
ty the steel, powder and pays all ex-
penses over 50 cents per day per man
Recently the camp was removed from
Olive to Perma. 1t is fitted up In
good shape and has many conveniences
that are not to be found in the work.

VEGETARIAN ON THE TRAIL

Among the arrivals from the interior
on last night s train says the Cordova
Alaskan, was Max STAINS, who walked
hesurely overland from Fairbanks to
Chitina. Mr.. STAINS travelled light,
having no pack of any kind whatever.
His pockets, however, were filed with
shelled nuts of all descriptions and he
stopped in roadhouses along the way
when suitable open air sleeping quarters
were not obtainable.
For many years Mr.. STAINS has fol
lowed strict vegetarian diet eating
foods in their natural and unadulterat
ed stage only. His principal diet has
been nuts, all varieties Of which he
claims have great nutritious qualities.
For drink, he asserts that pure water
is the only thing. After following
this system Of eating for many years,
Mr.. STAINS claims he is in perfect
health, and does not suffer bit from
the grogginess that goes hand in hand
with meat eating.

on the street were treated to one OF the
most beautiful displays of the Northern
lights seen for long time saws the
News Miner, as the aurora was not only
of unusual brilliancy, but the colors
were very pronounced.
First came great multitude Of white
nights moving about over the zenith
and raidating to all points of the com

SCOTCH WHIsKEY

The arrival Of one hundred gallons
Of exquisite Scotch whiskey was an
event of large Importance among the
thistle wearing population Of Douglas
island last week. It was selected and
purchased by Alex. 7. Nelson when he
was in Scotland last summer. and the
Douglas Scotchmen who have sampled
the goods, endorse his taste.

LIGHTING THE WRECKS

I Gov. Clark whose greatest hobby is
the lighting Of the coast Of Alaska.
once proposed that every wreck of
vessel in the waters of Alaska be nail
ed down and preserved where it struck
and that it be fitted up with lights as
a warning to vessels in the future. In
that way, it was calculated, the wat
ers of the coast would be abundantIv
lighted. 1t is now proposed that the
government fill with cement the hull
Of the steamer Olympia and make
lighthouse out Of the pile. The Olym-
pia is resting on the rocks Of Bligh is
land, in Prince William sound, as ev-
emily as il she were resting at anchor.
She has weathered the storms of a
year, and, with her strong hull filed
with cement, and q light placed on top
Of the mast, she would become an aid
to navigation, instead Of the menace
she now is. Perhaps the idea is fan
tastic But there is nothing fantastic
about the continued needs of Alaska
for more lights along the route to the
states. In the campaign for these OBJ
jects Gov. Clark has the united and
hearty support Of all Alaska.-Cordoya

RABBITS AT FAIRBANKS

Five years ago, or in the fall Of 1906
the scourge that periodically affects
the rabbits of America, sweeping them
off by the millions, struck this section
and the hordes of snowshoes were sad
ly decimated says the News Miner.
Next years the rabbits were conspic-
ious by their absence, and the fur
bearing animals that feed on them fol-
lowed the example of the Dummies by
perishing.
Little by little the rabbits have
grown more plentifully until this fall
they are extremely abundant, and they
may be expected to increase for two
years more before plague strikes them
The disease that seems to affect
them only when they become too num-
e1ous, will perhaps be postponed for a
season by the activities of the hunters
who are doing there best to keep the
rabbit population in bounds.
Every day hunters old and young,
from. the school boy to the gray beard
armed with every weapon from the
muzzle loader to the pocket rifle, are
bringing in backloads Of Dummies. In
fact, the long cared hoppers have ,h.
worst Of it just now, for they alreaiv
have assumed their inter coats of
white to match ehe snow, while the
SOW has failed to appear and give
