Important Happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.
GOOD LOGGING CHANGE.
One Billion Feet Accessible to Mill
Site in Eiackfeet Forest.

kalispell.-What is considered one
OF the biggest and most important
logging chances within the western
larch and Douglas fir belts in Montana
Is chat known on the detailed reports
now on file as the Murphy Lake Log
ing Chance" in the Fortine river coun-
try, in the northwestern portion of
the Blackfeet forest.
The estimate discloses the fact that
there are practically one billion feet
OF timber accessible to the Murphy
lake mill site. OF this 62 per cent is
western larch. 80 per cent Douglas fir,
2 per cent yellow pine and per cent
minor species. About SIS per cent of
this timber is owned by individuals,
the remainder being owned by the gov.
eminent The chance is discussed
both on the basis of large logging
railroad proposition and as an oppor-
tunity for small concern to start with
small initial expenditure for the in.
stallation of plant.
"The natural and artificial facilities
incident to this mill site are remark
ably good,' said Forest Supervisor r.
P. Mclaughlin today. 'The mill site
is at the outlet of Murphy lake, where
ample pond room may be had for logs,
and with 100 acres Of yarding space
adjacent. The main line of the Great
Northern railway is within Ia miles
which may be connected with the mill
yards by spur. The operations can
be economically conducted by electri-
cal power generated at the WATERFOWL
er site five miles north of the mill site
on Grave creek. This power site
Is considered capable of generating
energy to the amount of 5000 electri-
cal horsepower.
Several local men have already re-
viewed the reports in the Blackfeet
forest office here, while eastern lun-
bermen are being presented with the
facts by Franklin H. Smith, whose
position in Washington places him in
direct touch with eastern capitalists.

idieh, or irregular police, and he as
sured me that was safe under his
protection, gratuitous remark that
did not elicit the expected baclssheesh
It is true that the road is notably
safer, since the advent of the new
regime at Constantinople.
It used to be that Ibrahim Pasha,
the great Kurdish shiek, had a name
higher than the governments herea-
bouts. He terrorized the whole coun-
try, destroying entire villages at his
pleasure. OF course, he paid back
sheesh to Abdul Hamid, who winked
at his highB aymanry. FROM all that
I can learn. Ibrahim Pasha played a
fairer game than the sultan. He had
thirty thousand men under his com.
mand, and ruled them with an iron
hand. The Young Turks properly de.
cided that there could be but one pow.
er in civilized government, so they
broke 1brahim Pasha's sway by meas
ures more severe than any he ever
adopted. He was slain, his sons i'm
prisoned and his family practically ex.
tirpated, while the villages of many Of
his followers were destroyed, with the
rapine and cruelty for which tho Turk
is noted.
An American Habit-An Aslatic In.
dustry.
That there should be a direct rela-
tionship between the American habit
of chewing tobacco and the prosperity
of thousands of natives in Asia Minor,
Syria and Mesopotamia, is one of the
many paradoxes of this world that Is
daily growing smaller. Chewing tobac.
co requires licorice, and licorice grows
here, so thousands of natives make a
poor livelihood by gathering the root,
which they sell to the agents of the
McAndrews, Forbes company, a branch
of the American Tobacco company, at
the rate of one cent for two and
three-quarters pounds. This company
has introduced not a few innovations
out here, one of them an automobile
which has gone even to Bagdad. AS
it scoots about the desert, the natives,
lost in wonder, cry: "M'sh Allah"

tined to find its way into the mouths

SOCIALIST JUDGE TO BE TRIED.
Booher, Of Butte, May Be ousted for
Collecting Fees Illegally.

Butte.-Judge Thomas J. Booher, a
socialist, will be tried on custer pro-
ceedings as the result of Judge Smith
overruling the demurrer in the Rowe
case. Booher is charged with the il
legal collection of fees for himself in
criminal cases. His ousting, if such
results, will be the signal for sensa-
tional charges by socialists against
democratic county officials in connec-
ton with the collection of fees.

the ever-present vermin.
Some of the roads are fair; some
stretches are worse than the worst
America knows. Most of the traffic
Is by donkey and camel caravans, and
these patient beasts, with their deep
sounding and musical bells, bearing
great loads of hemp and grain, may
be passed at all hours of the day and
night. They travel in companies, for
mutual protection. Foreigners are ex-
pected to have an escort of one or
more zeptiahs, or soldiers, but these
unkempt fellows are a nuisance, and
mere petty grafters. No American
would count much on the protection
Of one Of them. A zeptieh of mine
dropped his rifle in the road and a
wagon ran over it! He wanted me to
buy him a new one.

zine cloth takes its name. The Ro-
mans called the city Metropolis. The
abundant memorials of ancient great
ness are now used to make houses and
fences; columns, cornices, capitals, in
scriptions and great cut blocks of
marble are all employed in the miser-
able buildings Of the present resi-
dents. The reason for the fences, in
the fenceless east, is that the govern
ment has settled a colony Of Moslem
Circassians here, and they represent
a type of European ways, as contrast
ed with Oriental.

This region in the past has been
famous for its lawlessness. Here it
was that David Fraser, London jour-

time ago. Everybody goes armed,

TROUBLE FIRST STARTED
OVER BOOTLEGsER'S BOND
Borrowed The Animal From
Friend, "Sosked'' Him, and
Then Jumped the Country

About a calm bay morse cioistered
in Crescent livery stable there cen.
ters an international controversy and
four cases in state courts, three for
feited bonds, first-class horse quar-
Irel and other complications The
horse is in 'hoek" for his board, the
original owner is ont the horse or the
liyeryman is out $40, the original
Ddlee IS in British Columbia and the
secondary custodian is in jail.
This case. like a great many 9th
ers, began in whiskey George Sci
bert was convicted here in superior
court in three cases for selling
booze, and he got ont on bonds. 500
in eacn case. II. y. Todd is said 10
be the responsible bondsman. Some
time last winter Seibert hired from
George w Gaffney horse for gen
eral work. In March or April, Seibert
disappeared and it was afterward
found that he had sub-leased the
horse to /. c. Ball, an itinerant BAH
seemed to use the horse AL summer
in travelling about the country in pur-
suit Of multiform business. He was
a clockmender, umbrella fixer and
general repair man. something OF a
horse doctor, mental healer, chiro-
practic, corn extractor and healer
generally, with side line Of medi-
cine for those not liable to the men
tai processes.
Sheriff Got On Trail
Sheriff Murphy got on the trail of
George Seibert and it led to a mighty
cold country. 1t was found he had
gone to the Pacific coast and had
carelessly lost himself at Vancouver
British columbia The sheriff tried
to shoe George back on this side, but
there was nothing doing. He could
not be persuaded within three blocks
OF a ferryboat and there seemed to be
no style of kidnapping to which he
would succumb. Getting him througn
the British treaty route was given up
the first thing, because Oklahoma
never has rescued a prisoner from
the British possessions at the north,
and probably never will. The sub
jects OF King George who have done
anytime in this country continue TO
live in the snOwbanks through the
growing period of the statute of linn
itations Anyway, no attempt beyond
a formal demand was made to bring
George back.
Horse Held for Bill
Meanwhile Bail was driving the
horse about the country in pursuit OF
dimes. Some time in the summer he
turned up at Crescent and com
menced patronizing livery stable
with the Gaffney-Seibert horse Galf-
ley had meanwhile commenced look !
ing for the horse, and when he made
a call on the liveryman he found
there was a feed bin for about SIS.
The liveryman refused to let the
horse out without $45 cash. Gaffney
said he would mediate on the mat
ter. 1t is unlikely he will go to the
expense of repleyin and the Cres-
cent man may be allowed to keep the
horse for what he has eaten.
Ball was arrested at Enid and is
held here on a charge of embezzie- |
ment in connection with the use OF
the horse.
