Heavy Rain
And Cloudburst

the history of this part of the
state visited Malta and the surround.
ing country last Friday afternoon
between the hours of 400 and 600
O'Clock. In Malta the amount of
rainfall was only 1.9s inches and
there was no violent wind or hail,
and no damage done except the in
reference Of business for couple of
hours in the Chinese restaurant and
one Of the North Side saloons caused
by the floors being flooded. Never
theless, the storm was far reaching
and in some localities assumed a
more violent form.
AT Strater, six miles east of Malta,
cloudburst quickly submerged the
country and the volume of water was
so great, that a portion of it six days
later, is still under water. A mile
OF the Great Northern Railroad
track, west of Strater, was washed
out and all trains delayed several
hours, for, though large force of
workmen were hurried to the flooded
district and kept constantly at work,
trains were not run over the track
until 10000 O'Clock Saturday morn
ing. AT one time Friday evening
where the washout occurred, the
water was six feet deep over the
track Hl4d thesS fence posts enclosing
the nearby ranches could not be
seen.
A terrific hail storm, fortunately
only sectional, visited Strater after
the cloud burst and much damage
was done to the growing crops and
garden. The crops of Claude Moore,
Il. Estabrooks, Wilfrid Primeau,
VIM. Sullivan, and r. V. Tucker
were partially destroyed and others
farther remote from Strater were in
]ured to some extent. At one point
where Black Coulee crosses the r.
Estabrooks' ranch the bank is tif-
teen feet high and in fifteen minutes
after the storm broke, the coulee was
full and running over.
When the men at the Strater
Plant saw the storm ap-
preaching, they hastened to get the
sheep out of the corrals but before
this could be done, the sheep were
swimming and some of them were
drowned. A number of the men en-
ployed at the shearing pens lost
,heir bedding and other belongings.
Northeast of town a shack was
blown off it's foundation and a large
chicken house overturned. South of
own j. l.. Russell's barn was blown
over.
During the progress of the storm
,. j. Tunison of the South Bench
vas struck by lightning and stunned
or number of hours. Mr.. Tunison

HOME, SWEET HOME

Mid pleasures and palaces though it may roam
The place to spend money is right here at home.
Development surely will follow it there
That never occurs when you send it elsewhere.
Refrain
Home. home, sweet homes
The place to spend money is right here at home.
An exile from home you will murmur in vain
"Oh give me my old silver dollar again.
The smaller percentage that comes at your call
ls surely much better than losing it all.
Refrain
Farewell, thou promoter with promise of galn
NY old silver dollar at home shall remain.
The dollar the foolish send often to roam
Shall be used to increase the endea rments of home.

SEALING SHAFTS OF A MINE
Black Pits Covered With Rails and
Concrete So That the Flames
May BE- 5mothered.

The brilliancy Of the clear autumn
night was dimming iu the first faint
light Of the dawn when the work Of
sealing the shafts began Up into
the cloudless sky, through the tan
gled steel work Of the tipple, a tall
tower Of black smoke 800 feet high
poured up into the still air and faded
into the dawn.
In two hours the black pits were
covered, first with a layer Of rails
and then on this was laid solid bed
of concrete; and two hours later
only few thin wisps of smoke that
poured up through cracks along the
edges Of the great seal, like steam be-
meath the lid of a tea kettle, told Of
the Inferno that was seething in the
mine 400 feet below. With the cir
cut off and the shaft sealed, the fire
could live only so long as sufficient
oxygen remained to feed the flames,

WHAT BECOMES OF OLD CANS
Rescued From the Dumps, They Ars
Made Into Window Sash and Ele-
vator WeLahts and Ship Ballast.

The raw material of a number Of
large establishments in this country,
says Harper's Weekly, consists Of
empty fruit and vegetable cans res
cued from the dumps. The princi-
psl products Of these manufactures
are window-sash weights, elevator
weights and ballast for boats After
delivery at the foundry the cans are
piled into large iron grating, un-
der Il sheet iron hood, which termi-
mates in a smokestack. They are
sprinkled with crude oil and then set
on fire. This process consumes the
labels, looscns the dirt and melts the
solder, which falls through the gra-
ting and 10 collected, cast into ingots,
and sold to be used again. Some Of
the cans, which have simply Tapped
and soldered joints melt apart com
pletely. These are, sorted out, and
the sheets Strengthened and bound
into bundles, to be sold to trunk ma
kers for protecting corners. They are
also bought by button manufac-
turers, who stamp from these the
disks used in cloth covered buttons,
The machine made cans do not come
apart, and they are loaded into large
carts, taken on an elevator to the
charging floor and dumped into the
cupola, which is fed alternately with
cans and coke. The cans are &c
light that some Of them are carried
out at the top Of the stack by thf
force Of the blast, and a large screer
is arranged to prevent the piece
from falling on the roof.

WRONG USE OF THE APPLE.

/. H. Bailey in Golfers Weekly:
The wholesome art Of eating apples
Is all but unknown among us. Now
and then some quiet soul will choose
his apple with the care that another
man chooses his manipulated cigar,
and relish it with the tang Of sum
mer heats and windy days. But we
buy apples as we buy baskets Of
coal-we buy them in the mass
caring only that they are of certain
sizes and colors, Then we dump
them into some waste corner or
musty cellar, open to mice and to
furnace heat and to currents Of air;
and when the skins have toughened
into leather and the fragrance has
given place to odor Of ashes and Of
decay, we cut them up into dump
lings and pies and 80 work them of.

SCHO0LmEAM WAS PLUcKY
Miss Carrie Fish Made Round Trip
Journey Of t,2oo Miles in Arizona
10 Take Examination.

In Arizona It is the law that a
prospective teacher, lacking normal
school or college credentials, must
stand examination at the county
seat. This necessity for appearance
for examination at Flagstaff, the po-
litical center of Coconinto county,
lately confronted Miss Carrie T.
Fish, a young woman who came
from Ohio two months ago to teach
at Fredonia, the Rorthernmost set
tlement Of Arizona.

The only road to Flagstaff is 235
miles long, by way Of Lees ferry
across the Colorado and through a
desert, dangerous and almost unin-
habited country for almost all the
way, the trail rarely used by anv
travellers save Navajo and Mopui In

passes.

the windows Of the inns were kept

whether Call or Stewart could empty

longest. Stewart won as to senators
and Call as to galleries Stewart was
a picturesque old patriarch, and Call
was as unprepossessing as his voice
sounded. Calls speeches read well,
for he had wide knowledge and
good command Of language, and sen
