telegraph Poles from Russia.

There was time when the needs
of the British postofice in the way
of poles to support the overhead tele-
graphs of the United Kingdom were
met solely from Norway. But to-day
Norway's tallest pines are not forth
coming in sufficient numbers to meet
the demands of the expanding serv-
ice-demands averaging $4,000 poles
per annum. Sweden was duly laid
under constitution, and now Russia
has become a valuable source of sup
ply. It was in 1905 that this source
was opened up by the present comp
troller Of stores, who visited Russia
for the purpose. The poles come not
only from the forests that feed the
Baltic ports, but from those in the
White sea hinterland

BURN n HAMMER.

In nearly every community there
will be found some Of the undesirable
element known as ''knockers," who
are afflicted with an unfortunate dis.
position to obstruct the wheels Of
progress and hinder the efforts of
their more optimistic fellow citizens.
The small proportion OF such people
among the residents of northern Mon
lana is q subject Of satisfaction, but
those who are disposed to line up with
such q class are invited to read and
digest the following timely comment
by the Butte Inter.Mountain:
In Seattle one day last week there
occurred q unique ceremony, signi6-
cant perhaps OF many things. In the
presence of the mayor OF the city and
many thousands of residents. q great
wooden hammer was conveyed through
the principal streets of the town to the
slow music OF q dirge and all the other
concomitants of q funeral to 9 pyre
ON one Of tie principal corners, where
it was solemnly burned. The cere-
mony was supposed to mark the dis.
bandment OF the ancient and honora.
BILE band of ''knockers'' which had
handicapped the growth and progress
Of Seattle from infancy. That may be
an idle dream. but the idea is all
right, and it may grow splendid fruit.
Most Of our cities could and would
applaud the sentiment that inspired
the Seattle ceremony. Most OF them
have their own troubles of that kind.
Now and then We find q city where
civic pride is supreme, where all to a
marked degree work for the common
good. Where such q spirit exists
there nay be found q live, progress
sive. growing community, and just al
the spirit of 'knocking" prevails ir
that proportion will the natural pro
gress of a city be retarded.
Butte and Anaconda have their full
share OF these undesirable people
The two towns have much 10 common
and conditions in the one usually de
note conditions in the other. But NJ
matter how prosperous they may be
no natter how much better Off the.
are than their neighbors, both OF then
can produce a consistent band of me-
consistent because they are Away
at it-who decry their home cities.
Butte and Anaconda should ais
burn the hammer and dissolve tn
knockers club.

as q flock of birds might have done,
Moreover, one of the eleven, Reneaux,

A great crowd had surrounded the

arrival OF the aviators. They had but
q short wait before Vedrines, consist
emily the leader in the previous stages

Census Report On Prisons.

WASHINGTON, July 2,-Acting Cen.
sus Director Falkner has received
from DR.. j. A. Hill, chief statistician
for revision and results in the census
bureau, q preliminary count of the
population in institutions comprising
prisons, institutions for juvenile de-
linquents, almshouses and institutions
for the insane and feeble minded. The
enumeration includes the number
present in the institutions on Jan. l,
1910, and the numbers admitted and
discharged during the year 1910. A
few institutions still remain to be
heard from.
According to this preliminary count
the prison population on Jan. l, 1910,
was 2O9, 31l; the admissions or com
mitments to prisons during the year
1910 were 462, $50; and the number O.
prisoners discharged during that veal
on account of expiration of sentence
or other reasons, including also
deaths, was 458, 996.

Settlers May Get Patents.

contest or other contingency.
Although there was an increase o.
only 60 in the number of patents ISSUED
in the fiscal year 1911, over the pre-
ceding year, q larger increase was
prevented by the ecess airy duplication
of work following the withdrawal &C

During the fiscal year ended June 80
last, 72,149 patents were issued, a.
against 72,0S1 for the corresponding

Taft's Plan To Abolish War.
Cleveland Leader

Cleveland Leader.
President Taft has suggested and is
preparing the way for the Inaugural
ton OF q policy for profound attention
of the greatest statesmen in the world.
1t is nothing less than a plan whereby
the danger of war, for the United
States, may practically be done away
with. If it should be adopted by all
the other countries, then would come
in time, the disarmament of the ma
lions and that era of world peace so
long hoped for.
The president is desirous that the
United States and England shall make
a treaty binding themselves never to
60 to war with each other, but to sub
NIT every difference which arises be-
tween them to arbitr alton. The idea
ia being considered in England. The
leading newspapers there are almost
unanimous in their approval, and i
may be assumed that they reflect thu
sentiment of the nation. Presiden
Taft is now feeling out the member'
OF the senate on this subject, for i
would lie with that body either tt
ratify or reject the treaty.
